[Q] Xperia T Boot-Loop after Update

Heyho!
I searched almost the whole day & web to find a solution for my problem, and you are my last instance.
My 1 day old Xperia T got into a Boot-Loop, and only the Sony-Logo shows up after starting the phone.
Previous procedure:
I installed the Sony PC Companion 2.1 and updated to 7.0.A.3.195, after this the phone went into the loop.
Now i can't flash any other software because USB-Debugging is off, and i didn't root the phone yet.
I tried to flash back to LT30p_7.0.A.1.303_Generic DE (found it here) but without Debugging = no flash.
Do you have any idea how i can flash or use any other FW without Debugging or Root?
Flashmode and Fastboot mode work in Xperia Flasher!

If you can stand loosing your data you could try a factory reset via recovery.
Info on how to access recovery menu is in the all-in-one thread.
If I helped, hit Thanks!

If you tried this via the official PCCompanion you could always take it back to the shop.
But i do suggest the following
1) Uninstalling pccomapnion
2) Redownload and install PCCompanion
3) Repair phone via PCComapnion. (You do not need USB debbuging for this)

I can't even enter Recovery because it immediately restarts after the Sony Logo!

The PCCompanion doesn't even recognize the phone because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.
I will return this brick to the shop, thank you for the proposals!

You cant enter recovery if you have not unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed Recovery

Your phone needs to be turned off for PCCompanion to flash it....Just go through the steps to update software and choose repair

I know what you mean, but when i plug in the USB-cable, the phone automatically turns on.
The menu is like this: SEARCH -> CONNECT (i plug in the cable) -> RECOGNITION -> at this point the phone is on for a few seconds
but it turns off and aborts the update!
This error appears: "PC Companion could not connect to the phone... please read the document troubleshooting".
But no point in this document helps me. There are only proposals like:
-use another USB port
- turn the phone off and on again
- Use another USB-cable
Seems like Sony bricked it with it's own software

Take it back to the shop then

Did you try :
while device is power ON
Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in [device will vibrate once]
Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down [device will vibrate thrice]

You don't have to. You have to put the device in fastboot or flashmode which you reach by holding either vol-up or vol-down BEFORE respectively WHILE hooking the phone up to your pc.
But as greg said, undplug and completely power off your device and put it aside. Then start PC Companion and chose repair. PC Companion will then guide you through the steps necessary to get your phone to a state where it can be reflashed.
because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.

Not true, it does not restart by itself in either flashmode nor fastboot mode
As pointed out above, theres fastboot mode and flashmode which bypass the failing OS bootup

You obviously have no clue what a brick is. You have a bootlooping device which is nowhere near a brick. But that's probably a detail you're not interested in.
Try to follow the steps above to repair (=basically a full on, clean reflash in Sony vocabulary) your phone and get rid of the bootloop.

Hi guys.
first ever post in here!(because nearly all of the time i've found an answer here!! cheers!)
i've had exactly the same problem and been looking all over for a solution as i also have the boot loop problem occurring. tried the repair options in pc companion and also SUS. if i'm right the battery has to be above 50% to update and i'm pretty sure it's drained. i remember when flashing my htc one x when that was stuck in bootloop with low battery that to get enough battery I made a battery loop batch file which charged the device. however this was in fastboot mode and i don't think i have that option on my Xperia T. is there any way to charge the battery so as to attempt another repair?
Thanks in advance!

Just leave it plugged in. But i have used pccompanion when the battery has been as low as 10%.
I think you could try a hard reset. (Volume up and power button for 5-8 seconds, and then keep it pressed for a further20 seconds, untill it vibrates several times) Then try flashing a stock .303 file from the all in one thread via flashtool

leaving it plugged in just continues bootloop. sorry should have mentioned i've tried hard reset. i did try flashtool (0.9.9.0 version?) but it was not picking up the device.

why are you flashing an x10 relock bootloader ftf?
Choose an xperia T stock generic ftf from the all in one thread and place that in the firmware folder of flashtools and choose that when you hit the flash button

tried the flashtool with the relevant ftf file but after an initial connection phase it kept bootlooping back out of 'connected mode'. however i left i (trial and error) and it did start to flash the ftf but initially it stopped around 40% then re-bootlooped. i messed around with vol- connection to usb and power plus vol+ shutdown method (which incidentally did not vibrate) serval times left it plugged in and each time it started but stopped flashing around 92-94% complete. having got frustrated i just thought what the hell and left it to attempt to charge overnight (i say attempt as this method never seemed to charge the device once i had this problem). Anyways i must've done something right (or not!:silly as i tried it again but today there must've been some charge applied as it flashed on the second attempt i tried (the first resulted in another aborted flash) it flashed my T no problem!:good:
thank you guys!:laugh:

Glad it worked out for you.

But you activated USB-Debugging before your phone started looping right?

Xperia Z won't turn on!

So my phone will not longer boot. It started like this: all of a sudden it wouldn't work properly when in a phone call, I could hear the other person but they wouldn't hear me. So I just turned off my phone and when I tried to turn it back on the triangle icon wth wrench and screwdriver appeared as seen in the image below (I had around 40% battery). I left it like that for almost an hour and since it wouldn't turn back on I did the power+volume up but it would load back on to the triangle. Then I removed the micro sd and power+volume up and it loaded the sony logo, then the xperia logo, then this sony colored waves/smoke started and the 3rd time this "wave" crossed the screen, it just froze and began a never ending loop of sony+xperia+waves+restart... over and over again :S It stopped only after long pressing power button + volume up. I tried pluggin it on my pc and starting the Sony PC companion but doesnt recognizes the phone. I read in another post that they fixed this issue by connecting the phone to the PC and launching sony's pc updater. But I don't know what's this "sony pc updater" thing, if they mean PC companion Ive tried it out and doesnt work for me.
Thx in advance for any help! (btw, my xperia z is with the latest update installed)

Possible Solution :
Install the STOCK ftf file of Xperia Z into Your Phone Using Flashmode.
What You will need is
1. Flashtool
2. Ftf file for Xperia Z (Download the ftf from your device thread)
Flash The ROM ftf file.
You should be running the phone by the time you finish.

I fixed it!!

As dwarkesh2492 said (thx a lot by the way), all I did was download a stock rom (I found the italian unbranded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293794) and flashed it with flashtool beta 6 ( tutorial on how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614). At first it wouldn't start flashing but I tried several times plugging and unplugging my phone while holding volume down and it finally flashed It was the 1st time I ever flashed a ROM or anything so I'm sure anyone can do it.
I hope it helped.

If you see the screen in the attached image, then just wait for it to finish working, which the bar at the bottom shows it's doing.

What method exactly worked for you?
I'm having the same triangle screen, I interrupted it by pressing vol up + down + power, and after that it just showed the Sony logo. The battery died and when I try to charge it now, the only sign of life is the red LED and "SONY". I won't go into flashmode (yet) so flashtool is not an option. I'll try to charge it whole night (am in the Netherlands) and try flashtool again tomorrow.
Btw. I am on RomAUR which is nearly stock .253 and this means I have root too. Locked BL. The problem appeared after rebooting the phone because I suddenly didn't mount the external SD.
Any help appreciated, thanks!!

i was on .257 originally locked to orange/ee uk. i have sim unlocked it using a code. what tft file do i need? and were can i find the flash tool. thanks
okay it appears to be constantly stuck in flash mode, flash tool is finding it and verifying it in flash mode without holding the vol button down..
also pcc does not let me repair my software, it tells me it has been updated
also phone keeps bootlooping from flash mode to sony screen making it bounce out of flashtool

You are lucky that it is a soft brick just hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
The phone will vibrate 3 times do NOT release before 10 seconds have passed because you would only "take the battery out"
This will erase your Internal SD data and hard reset the phone.

Thanks for your reply mate, I somehow managed to fix it. I flashed firmware with flashtool. Even though it didn't finish, it hung on reading phone information. I unplugged my phone and it came on.
I can only assume that flashtool at this point had frozen, And there for had somehow flashed it. Either way it's working fine, so happy days

[Q] Z1 --> reboot loop --> flash --> brick ?! HELP PLS

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on what to do next. I've got an 6903 Xperia Z1 (LB, not rooted, 4.4.2) that seems to be stuck in fastboot or flashmode, with no screen showing and only a red light (some of the time). I've read up everything I can on the boards and have charged it for 18 hours (twice) but to no avail.
Here's what happened:
I used a Chinese car charger that I probably put on upside down (which might mean it shorted the battery).
This put it in a reboot loop that went Sony --> Xperia --> blackness --> Sony etc
I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (no exclusions) which put it in a Sony --> Sony reboot loop.
I then flashed C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Generic_Global-1277-2880_R5C which didn't make any difference.
I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (excluding kernel, baseband - I don't know why) and this put it into black screen only mode (with some steady red LED sometimes).
I charged it for 18 hours.
From here I couldn't get it into flashmode or fastboot mode UNLESS I short the battery with the same charger.
Once I shorted the battery again I managed to get it into flashmode (permanently, I think) and do a "repair" on the Sony Bridge for Mac up to the latest android. It went fine, apparently, but unplugging it didn't allow it to be turned off or turned on again. It seems like now when it's plugged in it's always in flashmode (or I can put it in fastboot mode). I can flash whatever I want, it seems, but to no avail.
I have since flashed both the above FTFs.
Any suggestions for what to do next?
Thank you!

Press and hold both the power button and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times.
Then do a repair again.
Then throw that Chinese charger in the bin
then flash a 534 ftf, install dual recovery then flash the rom of your choice.

Thanks Greg - I've spent the last day trying to get my phone to respond again... no vibrations, no turning on or off. Just the red LED. Hmmm.

Leave it on charge for 24 goes and try again

[Q] T-Mobile Z1S brick

I rooted my z1s today, then i installed recovery then flashed the rom for our phone made by tactic, all was well but everytime i booted the phone it always said android is upgrading, then it went through all the apps, so i thought why don't i just wipe system cache data and dalvik, then install the rom again, big mistake at first it booted to the sony logo got stuck, i kept turning it off then on 3 times, then after that i just went into flash mode with the led turning blue, after that i turned it off to save battery because i didn't download the ftf and flashtool yet, so after all that is downloaded i try to go into that mode again by plugging it into my computer then volume up and power but then it shows a red led for a brief second then stays black screen, not on ithink. When plugged into my computer it shows usb device not recognized so the phone is still alive. so my question is, what can i do to save my phone? pleeease help :crying: and yes i kind of literally cried

You wiped the system and then wonder why there is no system?
Just repair your phone using pccompanion to get back to stock
Or
Flash a Z1S FTF using flashtool.
Then, spend some reading the threads and learning what to do before blindly flashing and wiping stuff.

Have you tried using them yet?
In your last post you say you have not even downloaded flashtool yet?
Download it, run driver.exe from the driver folder in the installation path. Choose flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers
then run flashtool and attach the phone with it turned on.
Detach the phone
Attach the phone again in flashmode.
Please post the log from flashtool here

In your last post you say you have not even downloaded flashtool yet?
Download it, run driver.exe from the driver folder in the installation path. Choose flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers
then run flashtool and attach the phone with it turned on.
Detach the phone
Attach the phone again in flashmode.
Please post the log from flashtool here

My phone doesn't even shutoff, no vibrations etc, just the computer saying device not recognized, and the phone was unplugged while trying to turn it off
flash tool also says device disconnected? and i can't upload the log file

Press and hold the power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times. Then it is off.
Just copy and paste the window from flashtool here.

How long are you holding them both for?
Press and hold both of them at the same time

i pressed it for at least 5 seconds, and both

Press it for much longer. If you get to one minutes and it has not worked then we can worry
Also, after seeing your numerous posts all over the forum I see another issue

Blue LED means fastboot, for flashmode you need a green LED
Press volume down for flashmode and volume up for fastboot.
