Try entering fastboot mode and flashing an ftf?
Flashtool should still be able to detect phone ( hopefully) if you get to the sony logo, hard reset it first then follow procedure yada yada....
I know cause yesterday i taught i bricked my XT since i was blocked at the sony logo after not being able to flash a rom but previously formatting /system...
Theoretically at least...
Good luck

Flash another rom
ive got flash tool but think i need the new one as my phone wont flash any roms or kernal but i can get them in flashboot and fastboot mode.

somone help me get of the sony logo ive been trying for 5 hours to sort it out.
just waititng for an email so i can use the emma flash tool.
anyone in the same situation
If you don't share information forget any help.
"ive got flash tool but think i need the new one as my phone wont flash any roms or kernal but i can get them in flashboot and fastboot mode."
What? If you can enter in these modes, then you should be able to flash the stock rom. Why did you say "my phone wont flash..." Is it special phone?
The rest of your post, Galaxy S3 comparison, 5 hours in sony logo (of course, if you don't flash the stock rom you will be even more than 5 hours...)... is not providing anything for us to help you.
You can try to waste 5 minutes to write down everything you have done, everything you tried, with results... or you can cry during posts and posts because your phone is not working.
Good luck!
From what I understand, he is not sure what version of flashtool to use.
If so, the correct one would be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
- Enter fastboot mode (blue light) and flash a STOCK FTF using flashtool.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Yes, but are you talking about Existenz v6 and about update package version v6.5?
When yes, go to recovery, select clean to install new rom, wipe cache, dalvik cahe and install Existenz v6. Then reboot and download Existenz v6.6 (latest update, which fixes many bugs) and flash it. Flashing without wiping should work, but i recommend to wipe cache and dalvik

My phone is rooted with superuser and is working on android lollipop and recovery is not installed
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

Omg this is amazing help!
Ok so I have flash tools, is there a specific way to use it, the instructions are a little unclear.
So SP forums and get stock tft to flash with flash tools? Ok I'll try to get ahold of it! Thank you

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
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.

Makes sense to me, on my way now. I remember an error happening during flashing something but for the life of me cant remember, we will see what happens.

ok firtst of all i realize im a dumbass....this is my second phone in the past 2 days, i bricked the first one and was lucky to get a second free of charge, ok heres what i did...after rooting i tried to install a cool boot animation from rom toolbox, after rebooting to check it out, it stops and wont get passed that screen, after a few seconds i cane here a sound but thats it..it will not do anything, i have the c with a locked bootloader..AGAIN I KNOW IM A DUMBASS SO PLEASE DONT BERAITE ME...is there a way to fix this? i dont care if i lose root, this phone is fine with out it:crying::crying::crying:
Okay...first off dont do anything to your phone if you dont know 100% that it will work or is compatible with it. But therr should be a way to fix it
First download flashtool and install it and when everything is installed download a ftf file (its a stock rom) you dont need to be rooted or have your bootloader unlocked. Load the ftf file in flashtool once its done downloading then when the little box comes up, put your phone into flash mode. To.put your phone into flash mode hold the volume down button for 2 seconds then plug your usb cable in while still holding your volume down button and hold it until the little box disappears and it starts to flash the when its done unplug your phone then voilà brand new just like out of the box
Hope I helped you.

If you really want your phone to be rooted then follow the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583333&page=4
Its basically 4.3 JB with no bloatware and rooted you also follow the steps i showed you towards the end
You have to use custom recovery to flash the zip on the phone then turn off the phone and put it flash mode and flash the 20mb file (its just the boot files) and you'll have the newest firmware available and have been rooted.
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??

Hi there!
I can help you bascially you just messed up the partition. Don't worry it can be corrected easily. Download .ftf file for your Xperia Sp model (Google it).
press the back yellow button situated downwards inside the cover. When you do that does it vibrate three times? Please let me know the exact situation so that I can help

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***

I did that already to unlock my bootloader. I have access to a linux system. Do you think it'll be better if i use it???
Thanks guys. The phone is up again. Here's what I did.
1. Tried Fastboot mode and it worked.
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.
XDA rocks. thanks everyone.:cyclops:
