[Solved] Entering the recovery menu not working. Any suggestions? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi guys. I have a sony xperia t and i forgot my screen lock pin. i tried to find how to unlock it over the internet but none of the ways is working. If i connect it ot a computer and try to use the Sony PC Companion it says that the screen has to be unlocked. If i try to enter the recovery menu by holding the volume button and the power button it just vibrates 3 times and doesn't switch on at all. Any suggestions?
Thanks

enter recovery by turning off. Then turn on and only when you see the sony logo repeatedly press the volume up button.
What you are doing is the hard reset.
You could restore a backup you made before making the pin, of just do a factory reset. You will lose all your data, but you will be able to get into the phone.

Pressing once is sufficient, if done at the right time.
If on stock, while the sony logo is displayed, wait for the notification led to turn violet. When violet, press and hold volume-up. This will bring you to recovery.
To retain your data, provided you rooted, you could try to get your /data folder via ADB. Or make a backup (tar, not dup!), format the phone and then manually extract the contents of the .tar file and restore your data.

hi guys and thanks for the replies. i can't make it work. it's locked to 3 if that makes a difference. i start pressing the volume up button when the sony logo appears but the phone just boots normally and the led light doesnt even flash.

Have you rooted in the past?
Have you installed a recovery?
The phone does not come with a factory installed recovery.

Yes, it sounds like you have not installed recovery, in which case flashtool is your best bet, but you will wipe the phone if you flash an ftf.

doesn't the phone need to be with debugging mode switched on to use flashtool? i had a look at a few threads but all of them say that i have to have debugging on. i cant access my phone so that's a bit of a problem...

Yes it does...my only suggestion now is to take it back to the shop. If you forgot the unlock they must have a way of factory resetting the handset
EDIT, My mistake, the only thing you can do in flashtool with usb debugging off is flash stock FTF's

Well, the phone does come with a stock recovery that does miss out on all the great CWMR features but should offer wiping facilities. Every Android device does or should. Doesn't it?
For flashmode, usb debugging is not needed, as the phone boots into a state separated and independent of the OS and kernel.

xperia phones do not come with a built in recovery.
Flashtool does not require you to be in usb dubbing mode in order to flash.

right..i tried to flash it using the latest(i think) version of flashtool (0.9.9.0)..downloaded an ftf file and tried but i can't make it work. when it asks me to boot the phone it shows me the instructions for xperia x10, so i dont know whats the combination of buttons in order to boot it. help would be much appreciated. thanks

Read the instructions on Greg's q&a thread, all in one guide. It's easy to follow and there are numerous explanations on how to use flashtool.
Make sure you have placed an ftf in the firmware folder for flashtool and follow the instructions on Greg's guide.

Yes, the Q&A thread is a good read.
But with the latest flashtool you can drag and drop ftf files into the open window withoout having them in the firmware folder.
You get a picture of the x10 because flashtool was originally developed for the x10 but the instructions to enter flashmode are found in the q7a thread. Icould tell you here but that will mean you miss the opportunity to read the first 3 posts in that thread that have most (If not all) your questions answered.

Well tried everything.
I think it's in the 'press back button' mode, cause it automatically bypasses the pop up screen in flash tool.
I reinserted the battery several times as well. Same thing, vibrates continuously if i kept pressing the power button. Oh and the green led flashes when it's vibrating.

(unplug everithing from batery,sd card and sim card)
only usb cable....
it seams you are in flash mode...
one time i manage to boot xrecovery from my bricked phone after many reboots, if you do it install rom from there.
also try from other pc, from other usb input on pc.
it dont sound like full brick... i think
try every thing even if you are sure it will fail.
But i can't see my SE logo.. I'm guessing that my screen is somehow corrupted?
Oh and i can't boot up at all.
The vibration and green led light comes up continuously if i kept on pressing the power button.
Do not worry... you just need to update your phone with Sony Ericsson's update service. If you had search the general section you could have found how to fix your phone... take a look at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7
I think the best choice is flashtool.
You just download the original firmware that you want (1.6/1.6 chinese/2.0/2.1/2.1 chinese) and flash it directly.
Flashtool also has the advantage that you can flash the baseband (if you already have iton your PC) right after the firmware.

i think, you should retry SEUS method again. i bricked my phone last time and SEUS seems did not work for me. i tried for few time until somehow it works.

[SOLVED] HELP PLZ! xperia TL in eternal bootloop

Can s/o please point me in the right direction? I have a brand new Xperia TL. I followed the directions on the All-In-One Readme thread to root the phone, which came with locked bootloaders. Then I tried flashing the rom- [AOKP][JB] Xperia T - KangXperiaProject - [milestone 1].
Then the phone turned off, and when I turned it on all that happened was the Sony boot logo came up, then a fuzzy/staticky screen with random colors, then the phone shuts off, and then turns on again, and then the same thing. The battery isn't removable so I can't do a battery pull.
I managed to get the phone into Flash mode for Flashtool, tried flashing a kernel, but nothing happened. I tried all the different key combos to get into recovery, but no dice. I was actually lucky that once it remained stable long enough to flash a kernel, but usually when it's connected to the comp it won't stay on long enough to do much of anything. I also tried accessing the phone with an ADB shell, but that won't read the phone.
I also searched and searched and searched for possible solutions, but can't seem to find any posts (on XDA or otherwise) that deal with this specific set of issues.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!
You cannot flash custom rooms that are not stock based with a locked bootloader.
That is because you cannot flash custom kennels with a locked bootloader.

Is there a different one I should flash? Or is there something else I could do? Meanwhile, I'll try flashing again when I get home today.

I flashed the ftf again- the phone still bootloops, but sometimes it show an image of a phone and the triangle with the ! in the middle- which I know is Download Mode on my old phone (Samsung Captivate). Is this what's supposed to happen? If yes, what's the next step? If not, what else can I do?

Thank you gregbradley and hkjr.
I was having trouble flashing an ftf b/c the phone kept shutting off in the middle of a flash. What I did was flash (the T version) piece-meal; I checked "Exclude" for all the components except the 1st, flashed, then checked "Exclude" for all except the 2nd, flashed, etc., and IT WORKED!!
Then I flashed the TL version ftf, rooted it, and all was good. Now it was time to flash a custom rom. I flashed recoba23's Xperia Curiosity V1.2 Rom (for locked bootloaders). That worked. Then I wanted to take a look at TiMiN8R's XperimenT rom. The phone told me that the file finished downloading. I thought it was a little smaller than indicated on the download page, but the phone said the download was complete. Flashed it. Then BRICK. Dunno if it's because the full file didn't download, but now ALL I get is the Sony splash screen (no bootloop, just stays like that). I can't get into recovery and I can't get the phone into flash mode, although the computer does recognize it when I plug it in and I can access the files on the phone.
Any ideas what's going on??
same problem please help =(

Rooted using Bin4ry's method
Install CMW for locked bootloaders
Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM(STOCK ROOTED 7.0.A.3.195)
and when im going to flash the flashable CMW, i cant find it in my ext sd.. i put it with stock rooted 7.0.A.3.195.zip and superuser.zip, it says "file not found" on recovery after i flashed the stock 7.0.A.3.195.zip so i decided to reboot.. and this happened. Is there a fix to this please help us :crying:
OK, I got my phone back up and running! For me, it just seemed to be a matter of playing around with the buttons and the plugging/unplugging the phone from the computer and/or charging it, and eventually it went into flash mode. I was able to flash stock kernel, root and apply CWM, then made sure that I downloaded the whole file for whichever ROM I wanted, flashed it, and all was good!
fatedcircle9, just try playing around with it. If you can't flash the new CWM from recovery right after you install the ROM, just reboot the phone, attach it to the computer, and install CWM like you did before. At least that's what worked for me....

Sony xperia sp c5306 hard reset

Hello all!
Ok so i just got my daughter the c5306 sp on virgin about 2 weeks ago. Her friend decides to show her the mcafee app and inputs a fake email and pin.
the phone is now LOCKED!
Literally can't do anything NOR can i find a hard reset option. i tried several key combination hoping for android recovery but NADA!
And the pc companion, useless in this situation as it needs me to unlock the phone for it to work... oh and that reset button on the back... crud!
any help, anyone know how to get to android recovery?
any help is much appreciated
the sony xperia range don't have a stock recovery built in unless cwm recovery was installed and rooted before your daughter was shown/given the phone.
If it was try shutting phone down then restart and start pressing (repeatedly) vol down to enter recovery but this will only help if a backup was made which you can restore if no backup exists you to follow the next step.
If not you need to shut down phone then either use sus,PCC,flashtools to reflash the phone.
I would recommend flashtools and find the ftf you need on Sp forum then use this to get phone back working

You can find the stock .ftf files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
You download and open flashtool (from here depending on your PC OS :http://flashtool.net/ )
Shut your phone down
From flashtool press the lighning button
Then select flashmode and press ok
Select the .245.ftf file (its the latest kernel released by Sony that you downloaded from the link above)
And then press flash
then it will open a new window showing a phones a usb cable and a back button
With your phone powered down you hold the "Volume Down" button down and while holding plug the Usb cable to your phone
It will take some time flashing the data and then it will say "Phone Connected in flashmode"
Disconect and boot the phone
This procces could Hard brick your phone so be careful and follow the steps!!!
If you are not willing to take the chance just do it with SUS
open it then go to update phone/tablet
fix phone/tablet and follow the instructions on the screen
But it will be ok i flashed kernel 4 times to my phone (for rooting it)
Good Luck
you can use SUS to reflash the fimware

[Q] Black screen, Flashing light, recognized in flashtool

Hello Friends, I have made a mistake.
I have rooted and flashed my droid 2 and droid 4 phones perhaps 100 times but when it came to my XZ it was not as happy sailing.
I started in a tutorial from unlocker on the method of rooting and installing recovery in a XZ without unlocking the bootloader.
theunlockr.com/2013/07/23/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-z-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-video/
but because I could not find my firmware specified with doomLord I chose kingo for my root, rebooted and everything was happy. I followed the rest of the tutorial to a 't' from the DRM keys to the recovery. Rebooted and everything was good.
This is where I should of spent time unlocking my bootloader
I downloaded pacrom and installed it through TWRP after clearing cash, system, and dalvik I think.
I also installed Gapps
When I tried to reboot it was all I could get was a flashing red light where the text indicator would normally be. My screen does not alter, if I hold down power it will vibrate every 4seconds, if I hold power up and power it will vibrate three times but nothing happens after.
I am able to get into fastboot mode, and the mode that works with emma(i am drawing a blank right now) using the volume rocker and plugging the usb in while holding them. Both apps (emma, and flashtool) recognize there modes.
Simply plugging the phone in will cause it to be seen by the computer but it will just connect and disconnect every minute or so.
In flashboot if I try to Hotboot it will give me a message about the command not being aloud remote.
I feel like if I can get all this to recognize there should be a way to get it back. Does anyone have an idea as to a way to unlock the bootloader or return it to stock using the limited function I have?
Get a stock rom from the general section and use Flashtool (not emma) to flash it to your phone. That is the solution to 90% of the problems people come here to ask about.

[Q] Xperia SP struck on sony logo. Please help!!

Hi guys, big fan here. I have been hanging around here for quite some time now but this is my first post
I was trying to put CM11 on my phone. After taking a backup in TWRP when i tried to put CM11 there suddenly the logs declared that system partition cannot be read. I am on a unlocked boot loader. I did try to use a backup but the same error that system partition is not readable popped up. Then I rebooted the phone only to find that its forever stuck on the Sony logo with a red light. I read up and found that I can flash a .ftf file to do things right. Just now I found that my phone stays in flash mode only for a small time and then again starts to show that crap Sony splash screen.
Can some kind developer or enthusiast like myself please help me??

Thanks for replying. Yeah, it does vibrate thrice, that's how I turned it off for the first time. I downloaded the ftf file. Also, if I put it in flash mode, after nearly a minute the led turns red and the Sony logo is back.

Ok. Download the stock kernel for your Xperia device and place it inside Flashtool folder . Make sure your device is switched off and open Flashtool on your PC. Connect your phone by holding VOLUME DOWN Button until green LED lights up. You have your device connected in fastboot mode now. As you said that your phone restarts after a minute so you gotta be fast , quickly hit the smart lighting button and select Fastboot mode on Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Once the kernel starts flashing wait for it to finish and voila you're done.
Warning - I will not be blamed for brick or dead devices, it is a method that is risky so proceed at your own risk***

Thanks guys. The phone is up again. Here's what I did.

2. Downloaded Doomkernel.
3. Flashed using flashtool.
4. After flashing this kernel I was able to boot into recovery (philz touch).
5. System partition still couldn't mount. I read somewhere that formatting it can help. As does unmounting everything else.
6. Mounted system and flashed Existenz rom again.

6. Mounted system and flashed Existenz rom again.
