Soft bricked or Hard Bricked.? Need urgent help

syedafzal.shah · Jun 20, 2014

Hey guys I recently updated from FXP 320 to 323 and my device is Not TURNING ONN, It just gives a heptic feed back (vibrate) and sometime it doesnt even vibrate when I press and hold power button.. Just LED blicks 3 times in RED colour when I try to power onn device..
When I connect the charger the LED turns RED and it remains red even if I charger it for 3 hours or more. When I connect in FLASHBOOT or FASTBOOT MODE THE LED SHOWS RED and the pc doesnt detedt my device. What to do now? Is my device soft bricked or hard bricked? Is there any way to bring it back to life? Plz someone help me.

Maybe the kernel is not compatible with the rom. Have you tried to change the kernel with fastboot? I had the same probleb with an xpreria mini and sola but after 6-7 tries it worked on fastboot, and then with the cwm i flashed via sd card the new rom.

If you look at the fxp change log, they've integrated the latest Sony kernel.

it really sound like a hard bricked to mee

if u can't enter fastboot or flashmode then there's nothing u can do
now the way is to take it to a sony service centre to repair it
you need to boot repair using flashing toolbox
i heard riff box will support xperia m from july.....
anyway best of luck:good:

he can't enter fastboot mode as well as flashmode
and when he connects led turns red all time
if phone is alright then led gets green when battery is full
his device is not fully dead but cannot be recovered by using a usb cable or a flashtool which can be said as a hard bricked
the only way is to repair boot using flashing toolbox which can be done only in sony repair centre..

first remove your battery from mobile for few minutes then insert again
then press and hold power on button for more than 10 seconds
then remove battery again from mobile and reinsert again and now try to connect to pc in flashboot mode
and flash full firmware wiping all cache and datas
if u can enter fastboot then u can access flashboot mode as well using volume down
try and report..

if led blinks green and off then you are in flashmode
so first make sure flashtool is running and your firmware is ready
press flash button in flashtool and flashtool will start preparing the files
when flashtool will say connect your device
then that time you hold volume down button and connect to pc
it will detect and start to flash
