[ALL 2012 XPERIAS] {GUIDE} Recovering from SOFT-Brick - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

This is from the WIKI page "Brick (electronics)"​When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my MP3 player when I tried to modify its firmware."[1]
In one common sense of the term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device permanently unusable.
However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick".​DON'T WORRY, BE PATIENT, YOU CAN FIX YOUR PHONE.​
This is common 'cents' worth more than a million dollars

My two cents, always install CWM - Backup your ROM, before doing any modding to your phone.

​
For this guide I will define types of RESETS that happen when pressing both the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons.​
SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.
HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.*
*USE HARD RESET ONLY IF ALL OTHER TRICKS HAVE FAILED. RECOVERY FROM THIS DEEP LEVEL OF SOFT-BRICK WILL TAKE A LONG TIME​Both can be used at anytime on a working phone. Most bootloops will also allow resets​
First try to use SONY's PC Companion to REPAIR your phone.
However if your bootloader is unlocked this may not work​

For most of the tricks you will need to have FLASHTOOL ready with a STOCK.ftf file waiting at a specific spot.
For help with finding your phones STOCK.ftf file click here
you will find instructions HERE on how to create your own STOCK firmware ftf file for your specific celluar carrier/region and model XPERIA. Each phone model has a different file for every android version. You will need a working phone to get your specific file, However you can use a GENERIC version that comes on international phones to recover from SOFT-brick
As the various 2012 XPERIA forums get organized, the moderators are trying to set up STOCK FIRMWARE ftf file download threads. As these threads come on line I will add them here. For now I will provide at least one file per phone for recovery.
MAKE SURE YOU USE A STOCK FIRMWARE FOR YOUR MODEL. Using the wrong models file will give you the very SOFT-brick your trying to fix. If your not sure then ask for help.​

[TOOL/LT15] [UPDATE 07/01/2013] Flashtool version 0.9.10.0 - Windows / Linux / Mac

Hello
Flashtool can be downloaded on the Flashtool Homepage (on Installation tab)
As Flashtool was originally developped for X10, you can find a lot of information on the Original X10 Flashtool thread
Major new feature : Fastboot toolbox for 2011 line devices.
Major update for 0.6.8.0 : Ability to now install CWM from Flashtool on locked bootloader.
Fastboot now works fine under linux
Please post fastboot issues here in this thread
If ever you want to setup an eclipse environment for Flashtool, you can check this thread
Flashtool does not recognize the decrypted FW.
I downloaded the decryptd FW for the Arc - extracted the files and copied it to the firmware folder of the flashtool (with Folder inside and without folder inside (.sin files directly to "firmware" folder)).
Started flashtool, pushed Flash, but no FW is available. Maybe I have to convert the .sin files in one .ftf file, but how?
Good initiative
Will follow this thread closely and hope for it being completely rooted before release

Can you set the flashtool to debug mode ? (Help->Log Level->Debug) and try again, then send me the log file ?
I'm not an expert, but from that log it looks like it'll be a while before the new phones are rooted, looks like they can't be rooted in the same way as the previous SE Droids!

Actually yes, the exploit does not work on Arc device :

I will follow superoneclick developpment (the exploit is extracted from this project)
To be continued ...
Thanks. I created the ftf file over the wizard and flahsed the FW on the Arc.
Works perfect.
Can also confirm, that rooting is not possible...

Good news about flashing
Succesfully flashed by Decrypted ROM (without root...)
Guys why don't you try something to root the ARC like the nexus s phone?
i think they are at the same ver2.3.2
Maybe it will help looking at nexus s dev forum?
i would like to root it as i just brought mine today.
its a generic ver. with no branding of telco.
Nexus S was not rooted. It was security unlocked. Same will be done with XPERIA Arc.

But that doesn't mean it that it will take eternities, or will it? I think about getting the Arc and rooting is not a must, but would be really nice to have for such things as SetCPU...
How much has to be done to enable rooting for it, or will it all be solved by unlocking the bootloader?
i think since the bootloader is now unlockable (& mine is already unlocked ) it would be much appreciated to have recovery compiled for our handsets..
has any1 a clue how to do so?
Question for people that that have created a FTF file.
What loader did you use? If you select the arc, I notice it just hangs. However, if you use the X10 loader it completely very quickly.
Thanks
do we need to unlock the bootloader if we flash the SE rom?
we unlock the bootloader doesn't want the se rom.
Has anyone here decrypted ROM from their phone. I did the SEUS update and placed two files into a folder and decrypted them with FlashTool then when it tried to package it up it get stuck here
"Adding loader.sin to the bundle" and this happens when I select the ARC option but if I do the X10 it goes through.
Any hints?
EDIT:
Attached is the LT15 missing from Loaders folder in Flash Tool for make Bundling available for arc decrypted file.

How can I use this?
Download the file. put your phone in bootloader by pressing the option key while connecting your phone on the PC. On the right side you must see the blue light.
Then run the batch file.
It works!

You have to put the phone into fastboot mode, and then from the computer just run the command
fastboot boot <name of recovery image>
Specific handholding instructions:
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286885
Follow my instructions here up until step 7. On step 7, type this command instead:
fastboot boot <name of recovery image>
Your phone will now boot into CWM
You can ignore the rest of my instructions there - they're only for rooting the phone.

Bin4ry,
Does the backup function in this recovery work fully? Can I use it to backup my entire phone, and then if I have a problem flashing a new semc and then cyanogen(mod)7, simply restore the backup I created to get back to stock?
Thanks
Sent from my Acer Iconia A100 using XDA Premium for Android
Normally yes, but you always have to flash the CM kernel and vice versa the stock Kernel via fastboot before the restored ROM can boot.
Problem is that kernel partition is not accessable via recovery, so it cannot be backuped or restored.
Regards
Is there a way to backup the stock kernel I'm on now, outside of recovery?
The only way to get the kernel is using SEUS/PC Companion. You can see how on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13091752&postcount=2​
You may also need Bin4ry Flashtool, you can get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746​
After decrypting the blob_fs files, you kernel will be in the file which beggins with "kernel_".
Note that you can only do this when you are using the stock ROM. Using a custom ROM disabled the SEUS/PC Companion usage.

Awesome, that's exactly what I want to do.
I just want the option to be able to revert back to stock if the need arises. For example, in last week's CM7 update the hardware keyboard wasn't mapped properly, which is a deal killer for me. So I'd have restored my stock setup until it was fixed.
So this way I can re-flash my original kernel, then restore my nandroid backup, and away I go
I just got my Xperia pro with android 2.3.3 (from fido) rooted and unlocked.
I can't get the update to 2.3.4 so i want to flash it with flashtool, the kernel is the same for both version or not?! How can i backup it, in my seus i don't get the option to make a backup...
You can update to the latest version of the stock firmware(4.0.2.A.0.42) downloading the corresponding file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18678726&postcount=3​
Be sure to select the correct version (MK16a or MK16i) depending on your phone's model. Selecting the wrong one will result on losing 3G/HSDPA. For Italy, it should be MK16i.
To backup your applications & information, you can use Titanium Backup or RerWare MyBackup. Search bot on the Android Market. If you want to make a backup of your current MTDs, you can use nandroid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459830​
That way you can reflash your MTDs if something goes wrong. Note that nandroid is intended to be used when you are developing custom roms, not when upgrading to another stock rom version.

[Q] Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.

Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.
So, after I'd unlocked the BE, I saw BE and Music Info Download were gone. Then I relocked the bootloader, flashed the .197 firmware using flashtool and ... bam, the BE won't work too. I can comfirm I have locked the bootloader and unroot. But these 2 still won't work. I tried to take the picture with BE on/off and they are the same. Please help me....
can i bmp this thread ?
Only once every 24 hours, so no, you have broke the rules.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Thank you, I'll remember next time.
OK, NP
I have read some threads on other xperia forums where there are methods to get it back working again, but I am not sure if it has been managed yet on the T.
The fact these things break when unlocking the bootloader via official methods is very clearly explained on the Sony site and is maybe the only reason why any dev may still be trying to find an unnoficial way to unlock the bootloader.
Try searching in the xperia S forum, i think thats where it has been done before
I have searched and found that method you mention. I have tried to apply it but it didn't work.
Maybe Jellybean will fix it, don't you think ?

Most likely not. These modules require DRM keys that are removed when unlocking the bootloader,
Another reason for me to sold this and buy it again. Will cost money but I just very love this device, but I love Bravia more....
how do you check to see if Bravia is working? I have an unlocked BL on my TX and the Bravia engine is showing enabled in Display settings.

Try watching a video or look at pictures with it turned off and on. In your case, unlocked BL, you should see no difference.

Solved the Download Music Info Security Error and Mobile Bravia Engine
Please note this is for the Xperia V but you can follow same method with Xperia T but please download ftf firmware and relock file for your device if your device is not Xperia V shown below.
I solved by by this method, please clicked on link below :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068225
Another thing do not used the CredentialManagerService.apk when you download instead use on one on your device like this :-
Steps
1.Download Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip shown below
2.Clear data for Download Music Info and all Walkman apps, under settings>apps>all
3.With Root Explorer or any root managerCopy CredentialManagerService.apk from /system/app to your SD card.
4.Copy CredentialManagerService.apk from SD card to /system folder
5.Change permissions to rw-r-r
6.Move the CredentialManagerService.apk in /system folder and paste in /system/app
7.Delete .odex file for CredentialManagerService if you're on a odexed stock ROM.
8.Shutdown and flash stock kernel with Flashtool using the kernel from the FTF file of the Firmware you
are currently using by downloading the ftf file below, be sure to not wipe Data(you will loose apps)
and System(you will loose root. Uncheck wipe data and check Exclude System.
9.Relock your bootloader by downloading the FTF file below. Turn on your device.
Another thing you want to uninstall your root manager or file manager app I used, do not enable setting to root as it will keep shutting your device down when you open the file maanger app so leave it unrooted as not sure how to fix it.
So now your download music info should work.

unbrIck your Sony Xperia Z C6602 / C6603 / C6606 / C6616

Today i will show you how to unbrick your Sony Xperia Z C6602 / C6603 / C6606 / C6616 and update boot. Sony Xperia Z smartphone can be bricked because of damaged boot.
PLEASE READ CHEERFULLY
If after flash your phone is dead and you do not have warranty, this tutorial is for you. Remember, during this process you can damage your phone, everything you are doing on your own risk. For 99% your phone will not be 100% functional, for example it will not be waterproof anymore if you will disassemble or reassemble it improperly.
Bricked phone symptoms:
can't power on after flash,
no lcd or led reaction for power button,
no lcd or led reaction for charger,
no lcd or led reaction if phone is connected to PC,
your PC can't detect your phone with vol-,
phone does not vibrate when holding vol+ and power together.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Repair procedure:
1. Firstly connect turned off bricked phone to your PC. If phone will be detected in device manager as:
qhusb_dload device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you are lucky and this is the end of the first step for you. Just disconnect phone.
If your phone can't be detected at all, you must connect it using testpoint.
Disassemble your phone using this service manual:
remove battery and connect this point on main board to metal shield and attach usb cable.
2. Download and install the latest Gordon's Gate Flash Driver from this post: Attached File ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe 3.58MB
3. Download and run this s1tool: Attached File s1tool.exe 2.52MB
4. Download proper APPSW firmware for your Sony Xperia Z:

}
5. In S1tool choose S1 EMERGENCY MODE, press Flash button, select correct APPSW .sin_file_set file (or you can select whole firmware if you have it in order APPSW, FSP, Elabel - but you can't use .ftf flashtool files),
6. Press Testpoint READY button:
and if your phone is detected as qhusb_dload device, just attach usb cable. If not, perform all steps from point 1 (connect testpoint to GND and attach USB cable).
7. When drivers will be installed and phone will be detected, program will ask you to disconnect testpoint. Disconnect testpoint from GND and press Testpoint READY button.
8. After that phone will load emergency s1 loader, re-enumerate usb, load s1 loader, update boot in your phone and flash selected firmware.
9. Now you have to flash (if not done yet) your phone with all firmware parts (APPSW, FSP, ELABEL) using S1 FLASH MODE, phone will be fixed. Also you can flash your phone using Sony Update Service, Sony PC Companion or any other flasher like current Flashtool.
10. Time to reassembly your phone using service manual: Sony Xperia Z C66XX Service Manuals

My phone is Xperia 1 ii AU model. Can I flash global rom with this network subset lock?
yes you can. your simlock doesn't effect changing official rom to another official rom. but just a little reminder. Sony Japan have slightly different hardware than global. it may or may not cause feature to be "disable temporary" until your revert back to original firmware
tbh if all about bloatware. it not worth it. i have a script i can share to you if you want that remove not only foreground app(app you see in launcher) but even unused component and background app(app that you cant see but there and running). my AU devices is look like global rom with almost 0 japan app(except few that has been tested bugged the system)
It means that I can just flash a global rom and insert the sim? As you said, I had many japanese apps which some of them already uninstalled or desabled by me.
This device is working fine by now without flashing to global. And also it has no any network lock, so I had no any issues of using my local sim. Only the network subset lock. Some news said that lock is to restrict exporting the phone. This phone is an imported one.
So you say I have no issues of flashing another rom? I'm asking actually I'm not much familiar about network locks.
And thanks for your reply. Please do share that script you told.
yes. with proper tool like newflasher you can flash it. even if ubl say no.
whoever i highly recommended to see how to flash sony devices to global as. you may or may not accidental sim-lock it
anyway here the script. it still list/proof on concept. i am planning to use python instead batch and use Gui+automate and publish it after finish with the list. it based on xz1 xz3 1(original) but for as far as i research they use same apk name(-some app my not added yet on newer devices).
if you still use default keyboard just make sure download gboard first before run it. because i remove component app+the app for Microsoft keyboard. same as facebook or Instagram. but you can reinstall playstore version(with no external component app)
and for nfc app thing. i dont remove it as it broke nfc on xz1(toggle working but android just confuse what todo with nfc data and say nfc not supported)whoever it fine with xz3, you could manually uninstall it(if it still installed in your devices)
Note:i sent wrong version, but it okay for you(owner that post this). there 1 line that disable sim restart after inserting for 1, that actually fine with older devices like xz1 but changing sim will need to restart to apply change/provider. or your phone will tread it as not sim inserted. for other who may see this and use for older devices like xz1. i have warn you(other people that see this), or you could just remove it.
