vipseifer · Feb 27, 2014

Hi, recently i got bricked my xsp by using link2sd.
I followed the tutorial to make 2nd ext4 partition on my SDcard.
After that, started link2sd, this screen appear:

I choose ext4, there are some notification after and then my phone suddenly turn off.
Tried the reset button at the back of the phone but no vibration at all.
Anyone can help please.

Reflash with either Flashtool (see link in my Signature) or SUS (=Sony Update Service: http://www.sonymobile.com/nl/tools/update-service/)

Problem is flashtool not recognize my phone, Volumn down and plug in usb cable not show anything.
Normally it should show up green light but no.
May i have to wait 1 day or more to battery ran out and try again?

No, its totally black now, nothing working. Even hard reset button

.

Okay; first thing first.
Could you tell me exactly what you've done? I think something went wrong with the partitioning..

Followd this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
I Format my sdcard to 3 partitions:
#1 FAT32 Primary
#2 EXT4 Primary
#3 Swap Primary

Then start link2sd, it asked for Ext2,3,4 i choose ext4. Some message show up and then my phone is now a brick.

Before it was in: .266 rooted Locked bootloader.

Edit: What I only can suggest is try to get it booting into flashmode and try to reflash Stock ROM..

Just a plain simple question: Why? The XSP has plenty of storage for many many big applications...

I think our device or atleast 4.3 isn't compatible with link2SD and this has caused a very expensive brick..

Internal storage speed seem suck, try download torrent to internal storage, your phone will unresponsive.
But if download save to Sdcard then all good. I have unresponsive when start a application also, so i think its internal storage problems then i need move it to sdcard.
I guess link2sd make wrong mount point or something like that...

So I believe we need to fix that problem

So I need some intel:
- What OS
- Which Cable
- Which USB port
- Laptop or desktop

I know how to flash using flashtool, did solve bootloop few times.
But now cant get phone in flashmode, for your intel:

- What OS : Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
- Which Cable: Sony one
- Which USB port: usb 2.0
- Laptop or desktop: Desktop PC( Did flash rom before on this pc)

The point is; to fix your unbootable device I think it needs to be fully resets by reflashing the Stock ROM. And because this process will rewrite the entire phone it will undo the partitioning.

Power+Volume down results in a greed led. Does this led stays on or not?

nothing hapened, no led, no vibration
Even no red Led when connect to wall charger

Perhaps your battery is empty (I know it is a cheap shot but worth trying dont you think) so let it charge for an hour and try again...

No luck

Well.... The last thing I can advise to you is go to a service point and let them repair your phone. I think we can't fix it this way.
