Pls could you explain how exacty you did it? By "the updater" you mean Sony PC Companion??? My phone all of a sudden 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 (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 I tried pluggin it on my pc and starting the Sony PC companion but doesnt recognizes the phone :crying:
Thx in advance for any help! (btw, my xperia z is with the latest update installed)
Don't worry about the battery, it keeps charging even, if the phone software is dead. just pop it on the charger dock. i had similar cases.
Hey guys,
I'm seemingly having the same problem here, so I'll share my notes, if somebody could make any sense out of this.
A few days back the phone prompted for an update to be installed, which I then did.
Today I decided to restart my device since it was draining battery quite fast and got all this screwdriver thingy happening all out of a sudden. This phase went over in maybe about an hour. I was stupid enough to try restarting the device in-between though, which might have messed it up...
After this I got into the endless loop of Sony-XPERIA-waves-restart. And basically i'm still in it.
Tried to flash a stock ROM with Flashtool, but it'd only say in log that device connected in flash mode, and eventually disconnect. Also tried to repair with PC Companion. It downloaded the ROM and connected to the phone in flash mode stating "Updating.." (translated), but eventually said it'd failed (obviously timed out..?) Did try many times.
When the phone is not plugged in a charger it can be turned off with pwr+vol.up untill three vibrates, BUT when plugged, it will just reset and go back to loop. EDIT: In charger it's looping only SONY-restart-SONY-etc.
I fixed it!!
I finally fixed it!!
All I did was download a stock ftf (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.

Now it also wouldn't even start looping anymore. When I power up the device (unplugged) it gives me "SONY" and then shuts down...
And when I connect it to USB it first turns on, gives me "SONY" and goes into flash mode (according to Flashtool)
Guess I should just take it in to service. It's naturally got warranty left after all...

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here in xda,
I have a problem with my xperia T, it boot loops (starts up by showing the manufacturer logo, then shuts down, then starts up again)
and i didnt unlock my bootloader, and i didnt install CWM, no backups either
I only rooted the phone for the sake of chainfire, and when i installed it, it asked me to restart the phone and from there on the problem started.
I tried fastboot mode, but after 3-4 secs, the blue light disappears and the phone starts boot looping again,
I need help from you guys,
thanks y'all in advance

How do i do that? Sorry, im a newbie..
I think the pc companion cannot restore my phone since it cant recognize it. It starts up, then it shuts down after 3-4 secs
Also i dont see a back up and restore menu on my pc companion,

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts
you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

Turn it off, remove the back cover and press the OFF button until the phone shuts down. Repair it with Flashtoo, Update Service or PC Companion. DO NOT LET THE PHONE COMPLETELY DISCHARGE.
Use rebootfix.
Next time search forum.

You've bootlooped your device. You have to flash doomlord's kernel and boot into recovery and flash system gapps and flash new twrp and your phone will be in working condition
Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?
Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific
Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool
Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work
Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device
Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up
run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..
Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer
what computer do you have?
Windows 8?
Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?
seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers
Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening
Try another computer

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.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
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

yes my friend i don't no why LED red flashes and I see no soltion for hard brick Xperia Z1 I contacted a few friends they told me that you would expect when the integration in the Box JITAG to repair the boot
connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 or 15 seconds > let it charge for 3 hours > after 3 hours > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds
p.s u can write in black to red is for attention...
