Bricked Xperia C2305 connects & disconnects

Im in the same scenario.. I tried all the procedures here but i failed.. I noticed that when i connect it, it disconnects after a while along with blinking of led light then reconnect again. And my PC detects it as unknown device.. I tried to install ADB driver but it also fails. Please help me.. Thanks. Sorry about my English :)

Exactly same happens with me. Neither Sony PC companion nor WMSHUA is able to carry on with driver installation. I have tried all different key combinations but all failed. It gets detected, WMSHUA starts installing drivers but after approx 10 seconds red light blinks and it gets disconnected and within a second gets connected again. However, driver installation does not proceed.

I have been searching for it's solution but have found NONE. :(

PLEASE someone help.

Xperia C2 Red Light Of Death

Hey Guys,

So as i have done research on all the steps you have provided it seems like there are many ways that this device Xperia C2305 can be bricked in many ways . We call this the *Xperia C2 Red Light Of Death*

As i recommend you to use the original stock rom after flashing a themed rom you could have bricked your phone i will not help on that but if you havent done anything and your phone simply doesnt start that could mean it needs a JUMPSTART like if you have lost power to the device the charging wouldnt help you , the green light appears when u press pretty much all the buttons.

Step 1 : Remove the back Panel off the device
Step 2 : Hold a pin or something to press the hard reboot button
Step 3 : Connect the power cable + press the power on button + press the hard reboot

Your device should start if YOU HAVENT BRICKED IT BY FLASHING WRONG THINGS

Have tried this on my bricked xperia c red led
Few weeks back no success
Logic

If you flash wrong recovery there is no way to boot in any mode

I can say this with 100% confident as I had spent full 3 days and tried every thing...

If u wona check goto custome mod for xperia c thred and get recovery installed
Then try this and share results

All the best

I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.
Try this procedure over here and plz hit thanks

    Fix Xperia C Red Light brick

    Are you facing that the red led on your device blinks and there is no other signs of life? Then you are in the correct thread, I faced this issue when flashing a corrupted recovery but then I found out a easy way to fix it without opening the device or sending it in to Sony.

    Requirements:
    Xperia C with red light softbrick
    MicroUSB Cable
    Sony Update Service


    1. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have downloaded Sony Update Service and have installed it onto your PC from the link above, if not, do it now.

    2. Now launch Sony Update Service and select Xperia C in the list and then press Next.

    3. Hold the Volume Up button and plugin microusbcable while doing so, if that doesn't work for you, hold power + volume up and plugin the microusbcable while doing. Keep holding button combination for a few seconds and wait for a green light on your phone, if it appears check on
    your PC so that it's detected.

    4. Wait while the firmware is being downloaded and reinstalled on your phone and enjoy your working device!

    I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.

    this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN

    If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.
