Xperia T stuck on triangle with spanner & screwdriver after the latest update.

Hi there

I have have an Xperia T which has been non functional for the last 24 hours.

I have tried all sorts of methods to try and get it up and running, but nothing seems to work. I tried the soft restart method (holding the power and volume up buttons at the same time) and this did work. Secondly i tried using the repair my phone function on PC Companion, which went through the whole proccess but still ended up being on the same screen i was on before, the triangle with the spanner and screwdrive and below a endless loading bar.

Any help in much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

darren.

SUS should fix this issue, are you certain that your phone was off? try again, this time remove both SIM and SD cards and if it doesn't work try a different computer, perhaps your PC is crashing or blocking the program, thus not allowing a full update/repair

I tried SUS on another computer with the SIM and SD card out and still no luck.

is there no other way to reset the phone to factory?

that's pretty much it, have you unlocked the bootloader? flashed your phone with "flashtool" ?

1,flash first .303 firmware(ICS) via flashtool

2,format internal storage

3,flash back JB there will be triangle with spanner & screwdriver but only about 30secs and phone will work normally:smileyhappy:

RMA if you have connected your phone to charger and after 24 hours triangle still persist theres no other solution

download another ftf file and flash your phone again also reformat the internal storage (don't forget to backup all your pictures, music, videos)

Thank you for all your help "uliwooly" and "Supersonic"

After using SUS several times, I left my xperia T for about 4 hours on charge and it seems to have come back alive.

thanks again

Darren.

Hello,

I had the same problem yesterday. Today I can't even start the phone. It won't charge... any ideas on what could have gone wrong and how to fix it?

I would appreciate any help really much!

Glad I'm not the only one with the screwdriver icon when my phone is switched off. It came up on my Sony Xperia Z a few hours ago running lollipop.

It seems to be done now after a while. I removed an app that was draining my battery and now it seems to be getting better.

What's the icon mention in this post?
