My phone is Live With Walkman (WT19i).

I was running CM 10.2 (JB 4.3).

The phone kept restarting and before restarting the screen used to puts off with an orange hue.
I thought something was wrong (software) and reflashed CM 10.2
Same problem. So flashed Stock Rom "WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf".
Same problem. This time screen puts off before restart in black hue.

Interesting : Before when the phone was working ok, I used to flash "WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf" and the battery would always show 100%.
Ok, now back to the problem.

But after few restarts... the phone wouldn't even start. But I it can go to FastBoot mode and FlashMode.
So now I flashed in the "WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf", of course phone wouldn't start.


When I,


a) long press the power button the led flashes red 3 times.
b) connect the charger I see the SONY logo appearing and blacking (screen is lit) in loop. LED light is off.
c) press and the hold the power button and volume up, nothing happneds except continous 3 red flashed on LED.
d) long press the power button and insert the charger, the phone vibrates, and (b) happens.
e) remove the charger, phone goes black with 3 red flahses.



I) Is my phone soft/hard bricked? Or what is the problem?
II) How to make my phone working again?!

Thank you!


UPDATE 1 :

I flashed "WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.62_1254-1889", the GB stock rom and relocked bootloader. Same problem.

UPDATE 2 :

Yes, it's a faulty battery. Phone works fine after replacing it!

My friend had the same problem. Because of overuse of battery, the battery died partially. as a result it wont charge and phone wouln't run. Just replace the battery. Your problem will get solved. You can ofcourse check it by inserting your friends battery(EP 500 model)
