Xperia XA2 bricked itself after succesfully running Sailfish for a day [answered]
Hi,
I got my XA2 ( Dual sim version H4113) two weeks ago and on last friday evening I flashed it with no problems and Sailfish seemed to run with no issues for about a day. Then suddenly on saturday evening I think I left it charging with usb cable hooked to my pc. Last time I checked it had somewhere around 80-90% battery left. Then after about an hour I found it completely dead (around 8pm). It didn't and still doesn't respond to anything, no notification lights, no vibration of any kind, screen completely black. Prior to leaving it to charging I didn't do anything unsual, just randomly browsed internet, didn't install any shady applications or fiddle with system settings.
It doesn't respond to any of the usual combinations like holding volume key up while plugging the usb, or holding it down and plugging, or down and power etc. None of those combinations don't seem do anything, like the blue notification led for fast boot. Fasboot devices command doesn't find the phone, nor Emma. Only thing that makes it seems it's not completely dead is that when I plug it to PC, SOMC Flash device appears in the device manager. Is there any hope left?
I had a similar situation, but quickly resolved it either by spamming power button or volume up + power button.
