Help with Xperia z (soft brick?)

Hi I've been looking through the forums and haven't been able to find anything to help with this. Recently I rooted my phone and tried installing CM10.1. As I was doing the process trough CWM it all seemed to work fine until I went to reboot the phone and it was supposed to restart instead it never booted up again. When I hold down the power button it vibrates but nothing happens. When I put it to charge the red LED lights up and when I connect it to the computer it recognizes that something is connected in the USB but doesn't recognize what it is. Sony is giving me trouble for repair because I bought it internationally (UK variant). Any help would be very much obliged, thanks in advance.

Did anyone mention emma? Just use flashtool, like 2 people have already said. There's a tutorial in the general section.

Dont download from sony site.. thats emma its different
This is the flashtool you need https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool

Like everyone else has said get Flashtool, get firmware, flash firmware and you should be okay. Also make sure you actually went through the whole bootloader process.
6.You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
7. Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
8. Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
9. Select 'Open command window here'
10. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
11. In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
12. If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
13. Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
I didnt follow numbers 6-13 and for a good 2 weeks i was having a really bad time. I would try and flash boot.img and what not and nothing would happen or i would soft brick.

There might be something wrong with the phone as it is not rooted.. If you still have warranty why not take it to the center..?

Have you tried hboot. If that works flash a custom Rom

He said his display is gone. He cannot even get get to recovery mode. So flashing a rom is not possible. His computer is not recognising the phone so something is definitely wrong.. And it's not his fault as it is not rooted. These things just happen..

[Q] Is it dead

Hey guys,
I'm writing from Bosnia, and hope that I will not be such a pain in the neck or something, but I would really appreciate some assistance if it is possible.
Few days back I got HTC Vivid 4G almost for free, phone is brand new but there seems to be a problem with it.
When I press the power on button it comes to HTC logo and stucks there
When I press power and Vol- this is what I get:
*** UNLOCKED ***
HOLIDAY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.85.0025
MICROP-0360
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226..00.0202
eMMC-boot
Mar 1 2012,17:09:49
Does this mean that the system on my phone is wiped clean, and I would appreciate if someone could give me a few pointers on how to boot the system and get it up and running again.
One more thing to mention is that when I connect phone to PC, it does not see it at all.
Hoping that you will help me I would like to thank you soo much.
Best Regards from Bosnia
Edo

Edo, do you have the word "Fastboot" in red on the screen? IF so you may be able to use ADB to revive it, otherwise try to unbrick using the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25501212

Since you can get to bootloader... You have 2 choices... Run an RUU... Or... You can try downloading a ROM... Use recovery to flash the ROM... And fastboot the boot.img from the ROM in fastboot...
Check the superguide in the development section for more detailed instructions...
Also... If you have the stock recovery.. You will find a custom one linked in the superguide to let you flash ROMs...

Thing which surprises me is that when I connect my phone to PC, it cannot see C drive of the phone or external card. And can you please help me with ROM installation procedure without 'locking and unlocking the phone'. Thank you very much for helping me my friend.:good:

If on windows... Does your computer detect new hardware?
Did you make sure to install before plugging the phone in?

Yes I do. Day before yesterday I was able to access fastboot, and then I went to sleep and in the morning my battery was dead. I tried to connect it to the charger but the orange light pops up every minute or so, than comes on and off quicker, then it boots to HTC logo and switches off again. What the heck is going on?!

Thank you very much for clarification ma friend. I will order one immediately.

What version of Windows are you running?
And as far as I know, the sd card doesn't show up if you're only connected to fastboot.
If you pull the battery, then put it back in, then plug it in to the wall... if you keep the phone off does the orange light come on? Or does it turn on and get stuck?

[Q] Bypass screen pin code. USB Debugging is NOT enabled.

Hi,
I´ve lost my pin code to my HTC Sensation XL. I have important pictures of our baby that we would like to keep.
Is it possible to backup these pics? Or bypass the pin code?
NOTE: USB Debugging is NOT enabled.

When you plug into computer does it pop up with Turn on usb storage or something like that?
If dont. The only choice is to do a factory reset. Say that You dont lose your photos while factory reset, I have installed MILLIONS of roms and not even my fancie' photos

It is easy
I had the same problem, I downloaded here uuu.androidruu.com/?developer=Runnymede ruu.exe for my area, I installed HTC sync, I connected the phone to PC, I expected to recognize the phone ,phone must be switched on ,click on ruu exe ...step by step......phone will reboot and start instal new rom,after 10 minutes you have a factory reset phone,work only with windows XP,not work with Win 7 or Win 8 64Bits.Don't lost the picture or music.Sorry for my english.I hope I've been helpful

Recover from the dread QHSUSB DLOAD

Lately my HTC One shut off while typing on it and it was dead.
Holding power for 10 seconds (and any of the combination with the volume buttons) did not help.
And when you connect it to the power does not even had the red led indicating that is charging.
If you connect it to a PC you get prompted to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers.
So the phone is dead but not really completely dead.
Clearly that QHSUSB_DLOAD is a Qualcom hook that could be use to debug and probably re-flash the phone. The question is what is this tool and how do you use it?
I think there is some sort of standard way to recover across phone (maybe not all with a Qualcomm but I am sure that the protocol is the same among a few processors).
There are a few examples out there:
[UNBRICK] HTC Unbricking Project - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886
DLOADTool - https://github.com/posixninja/DLOADTool
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/ultimate-cure-to-the-qhsusb_dload-of-mi2-s.20567/
And a lot of info about HTC internal here: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision
So I wonder if anybody here has some idea about the tools and how to use to resurrect HTC phones and in particular the HTC One (M7).

Try and let it charge for an hour or so. Use a wall charger, not USB. If you still get the same thing, it's more than likely bricked. Unfortunate, but true.

Isn't accessing the phone through QHSUSB DLOAD a developer topic?
The phone has been plug in for a few days. I also fund somewhere that the phone in QHSUSB DLOAD does not charge. I pretty sure in QHSUSB DLOAD the USB voltage just power the circuit necessary for the QHSUSB DLOAD communication.

Thread closed as duplicate/triplicate/quadruplicate of QHSUSB_DLOAD - What is the protocol?. Please continue the discussion there.
