[Q] Sony Xperia Z keeps restarting - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i rooted my xperia z a few days ago and all was well, i put beats audio pro app on it and it started going mental. I tried to uninstall it and since then its just constantly turns on and then restart. Ive tried doing the reset by holding power and volume up and waiting for 3 vibrates. I can get it into bootloader mode but dunno if i can reset/restore it. Does anybody have any ideas or know if i can reset through bootloader?
Cheers Sturtz

Sony Xperia Z help (SORTED)
Ok i got this problem sorted out and im just going to write up in case anybody else needs it.
Download the latest Flashtool ( found in OG android development forum)
Install the Flashtool drivers found in the drivers folder
Connect phone in Flash-mode (phone shut down, volume down + power)
Press the BLU button
Press the relock option
Put a stock .tft firmware in the Flashtool firmwares folder (this is required!!)
Flash the firmware (this is required!!)
Above info is from Aerys from this site so thank you
STOCK ROM thanks to Apollo89
Link for flashtool http://uploaded.net/file/61lmpyp0
Link for STOCK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185090
I then used Sony PC Companion to repair
:laugh:

try to put it in bootloader through the abd comands hope wil work its happen to me before also

How did you use the flash tool and pc companion together?
Also why did you flash the Rom again, you might fix it if you clear the cache of apps?

I tried a few different things and couldn't get it to work then thought if I repaired it with pc companion it would be back to stock

[Solved] Xperia T won't boot

My Xperia won't boot since yesterday, i'm stuck on the screen with the triangle with a wrench and a screwdriver. I saw some threads where they said you should wait, but it's been like this for the last 15 hours or something. I have tried searching for a solution but couldn't find a solution. The phone has the latest stock Jelly Bean firmware and is not rooted, any ideas how to fix this?
Edit: Sorry wrong section
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Try to turn it off. And flash FW via flashtool.

I don't really like that i first have to unlock the bootloader to do that. I have this phone only a few weeks so i can just get a new one from my carrier but that takes a lot of time. Is it possible to repair it with the Sony PC companion or ADB?
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Just plug it in and leave it, it's repairing itself.
If you keep turning it on or off it starts again.
As an aside you don't need to unlock to use flashtool.
If you can't wait then download and flash the same version with flashtool or use a pccompanion, repair option. If you won't wait you need to format data

The 15 hours i described was without turning it off and on, can it really take that long?
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Hold vol up and power until you feel the three vibrations, run pccompanion without the phone connected, choose the software repair option, connect phone when instructed, do not power up the phone before or you'll be straight back to the tools screen.

Good good just to remember in future if you phone reboots on sony logo it is a kernel problem if it reboots on xperia screen it is a system problem just to keep that in mind and if you are on a stock rom then they are ODEX so you will need to find mods which will work not DEODEX other wise you will get bootloop

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

[Q] HELP! Xperia Z wont boot past Sony screen after flash

I tried to flash the 4.2.2 update to my xperia because i didnt want to have to wait for my carrier to release it. I used flashtool but i flashed the wrong ftf file. now my device will not boot up past the Sony logo screen and it keeps restarting it and each time it only gets to the sony screen. I have tried to flash a different ftf file and the phone connects to flashtool but when it is going to start flashing the device switches on and thus is dissconnected from flashtool. it is the c6603 version and it is rooted but not bootloader unlocked. any suggestions?

If you hold power button alongside volume up until the device vibrates, it should turn the phone off. Now it won't reboot anymore, and you'll be able to boot in flashmode.

This forum is for Xperia Z, not Z Ultra
Anyways, you'll need to give us some more information. Did you flash your divece? Is it rooted? Which software are you using etc.
If your bootloader is still locked you could try to repair your phone using Sony PC Companion.
If not please report back.

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
Sent from my C5303 using XDA Premium
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

[Q] Xperia Z Refuses to go into flashmode

Before posting that I'm idiot and I should have searched for the solution myself I want to say that there was no actual solution to my problem!
A month ago I decided to install CyanogenMod 10.2 because of more camera options so I backed up my TA partition, then unlocked my bootloader and installed CyanogenMod 10.2 that was perfect for me, but as official 4.3 is going to be released I decided to migrate to stock android and ran into a problem, I downloaded many FTF's for my C6602, downloaded new flashtool also all drivers are perfectly installed but when it came to loading phone into flashmode it refused to do so, I'm holding Volume down button and connecting USB into the main USB port on the PC, first I see red LED then suddenly it changes to GREEN for about half a sec and then turns off, as for Fastboot mode it works perfect I even tried flashing different kernel but it did not help, I also tried and successfully installed Android 4.4 KitKat OmniRom without problems but I still can't get into the flashmode, also I was unable to use EMMA because I did not receive confirmation e-mail. Please help... Thanks in advance.
I managed to reflash to stock .67 firmware with new flashtool but the led was not green during the installation it was off but it still got flashed, now when I reflashed my phone, I rooted it and restored my TA partition , so now I want repair it with SEUS but the problem still exists phone wont go into flashmode !!!!
Once green led goes of and screen is black, you ARE in flashmode
Make sure flashtool prepares files BEFORE pressing volume down and plugging usb cord in.
There is no persistent led or visible screen in flashmode.

Yea you were correct for some reason when I started updating phone with SEUS it just restarted and started update, so it seems that it really was in flash mode, but what's wrong with the led? It was always on once in flashmode ...
Forget SUES. Just flash a stock FTF for your region. Sony won't know the difference. There's plenty out there. Which one do you want?
Edit; In flashmode, Led stays on until flashing starts then it turns off while system is being flashed.. In the case of PC companion or SUS, it will take considerably longer while files are downloaded, but with flashtool, the files are already in place, so it goes off almost instantaneously

Thanks again, no I just wanted to get BE back Thanks to guy who invented TA partition backup : )

That's a brilliant tool.
Just be sure to be on stock, rooted, with USB debugging on, and superuser accepting adb shell command while restoring:thumbup:

Just wanted to say I was a bit worried my xz was not in flashmode the first time I flashed un-branded firmware as the led did not stay lit..
When I used to flash my old Arc S the light would remain on until flashing finished...
Thanx for confirming this !!
Different Problem with Flashmode
Can someone please help me, When I unlocked my bootloader (Xperia Z) I didn't use flashtools. I used SE Bootloader Unlocking, this software worked well for my Tipo and S. What happened is that my bootloader got unlocked but my flashmode got corrupted. Fastboot works fine. But when I try to get into Flashmode, the green LED blinks for like a second and nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please Please help me? I can't update my Baseband to go to 4.3.
I wouldn't mind relocking my bootloader to go back to stock, but I need flashmode to this as well!
That's how it works on The Z. Nothing to worry about
Just let flashtool prepare the files , then plug in to pc holding volume down
