Hi! My Xperia E5 has been stuck in this awful boot loop for days now. I have no luck with the hard reset and I’ve already unplugged the battery (and plugged it back on w/ no hitches) but it still goes into the boot loop. My alarm was going off, battery about to be drained (it had 2%) when it died. Charged it for 20% then turned it back on, only to encounter the boot loop. What do I do? Thanks in advance.
There are a few things I’d like you to try. First, pull the battery out if you can, and plug it in. Does it boot? Can you boot into recovery? If there’s any SD or SIM card, pull those out and try again. Pull out the battery and leave it out for a good amount of time (couple of hours, to try and clear the cache). Fully let it charge without trying to turn it on, if you can. Then unplug it and try again. I’ve heard of some bootloops after battery dying caused by software, corruption of some files or partitions when the battery died. Those can be fixed. Best of luck, report back with any developments.
That happened to me aswell.. You could try Sony mobile flasher by Androxyde and flash a stock rom for your sony xperia e5. If you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP.. then try clearing the cache and then reset the phone. If that didn’t help you, add me on discord: DEEBEEHAXOR#1332 . Then we can talk. Take care Abi!
