[Q] Xperia E Total Hard Brick

[shaam_viru]

I came across an Xperia E device for flashing. But its hard bricked I guess.

So far, I've tried to revive it all alternatives except for disassembling the handset.

1) Does not charge with any charger.
2) Have used different batteries.
3) Does not recognize in Flashmode or Fastboot mode
4) USB is not recognized at all.

The only hope that seems to come from this handset is,

Sensor light. This is 'not the Red Light' that comes while charging or powering on.

A small light deep in the sensor appears when doing the following actions:

1) Connecting charger with or without the battery, activates this sensor light.
2) With the battery, when I power it on, the sensor light appears till I release the power button.
3) When doing the power cycle reset option using the volume down or volume up with power button combinations, the sensor light stays till I release the power button.

So there seems no life, in this except for this faint red light in the sensor.

Any ideas?

By the way, this seems to have happened after a full reset including the internal storage using the factory settings reset option.
Device uses a custom rom.

Take Out the Battery!

Hold Volume Down!

Plug in Charger - MAKE SURE ITS FROM WALL SOCKET NOT PC!

YOU SHOULD BE IN FLASHMODE!

I got a Sony Xperia E C1505 (Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No).

I have flashed it with free a firmware (C1505_11.3.A.2.33_CE.ftf) and made a backup of the TA partition.

Later the cellular is rebooted and does not boot again anymore, staying in a difficult state of hard bricked and the symptoms are same described by shaam_viru.

In general:

- Volume up down no response (obvious)
- Volume key down no response
- Any USB device (MTP, MSC, Flashmode) is not recognized
- The battery does not charge (wall socket was used not PC)
- Phone do not turn on with or without the battery and the adapter plugged
- Turned on with the battery or with the adapter, the device is limited to cast a faint and fuzzy flow of red light

Greetings.
