Dear Members and Expériences user,
My XZ is stuck at Sony logo:
How it happened:
Phone was Roted
Locked bootloader
Recovery installed
Using stock rom with pureaudio
As my phone was always running Multimedia process making it So hot and following users advices (perhaps due to a corrupted image) I have performed the folowing:
1- boot in recovery
2- backup phone and reboot
3- backup everything using titanium backup
4- transfer all backup from internal memory to sd card
5- Eject sd card
6- performed a wipe and factory reset from settings
7- reboot and configure apn and accounts
8- reinstall superuser then titanium backup apps
9- reboot
10- restore some apps (mainly games) and some systems settings (only sms/mms and phone call history)
11- as advice by TB reboot
12- bootloop...bootloop...
13- boot in recovery
14- restore (using advance fonction) system only
15- went off battery (I did not notice that my kids unplugged charger)
16- Here i am...
Please help me
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here the procedure I have applied:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First a Huge Thanks to :
- diego9016
- LitoNi
Which guided me on the solving.
As proposed, I have :
1- Installed the Sony PC Companion 2.10.155
2- Installed the Flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6 --> Thanks to Androxide for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
3- Followed the Tuto of 'Flashing Stock Rom with FlashTool --> Thanks to Shadowboy23 for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
3- Used the UK Unbranded FTF --> Thanks to Paulkhim for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221475
I have followed line by line the différents tutos and it worked out very well.
The only thing I did differently was running the the flashtool as admin user when it succeed.
Thanks to all and good dev for the XZ which it deserves it.

Of course... But first, you need to charge your phone.
Follow this tutorial, it should bring back your Z to life.
Here you can find the ftf you need.
Just be sure you have the C6603.

Thanks for your quick answer,

Someone with 200+ posts shouldn't be starting noob threads like this and know to read the stickys where this kind of information can be found. I also wish People would first learn how to restore their device first before flashing things that could potentially brick it.

I am having Heavy Experience on HTC things but not on Sony. :silly:
I did read thousands of pages and using this Q&A section as it should ... not ?
Anyway... community is for that and maybe helps others users than myself alone.
Thanks to highlight and at the end (when succeed) I will also share the step by step performed : For the others guys and newbies on Sony. :angel:

I have tried and unfortunatley no success
Everything runs well until when the phone has to be connected to the PC while holding the Vol Down Button.
Then the Device seems to be connected and after a while it deconnects and restart itself and locked at the Sony Logo.
Then the flashtool recongnises it as disconnected
:crying:
Any other test I may perform ?
Thanks for your patience and support

Do you have the flashtool drivers correctly installed?
Have you tried restarting your pc and see if it works? Don't open PC Companion or any of the other Sony software.
Are you connecting the device powered off and holding vol down?

Drivers are OK (it seems and I will try on my daughter Vista PC)

One more question when to unpress the vol down button ?
I performed it when the Windows displayed Device Connected in Flashmode, Am I right ?
Thanks to you for your patiance
I am a little bit stressed at the moment

You release it when it starts flashing. You can see the bottom bar moving towards completion.

Thanks for the advice.
Does it takes long cause I stayed like 4-5 mins by holding it without seing any progress bar and soon I unpress it the phone restart by itself and back again at the Sony logo.
To switch it off again I have to hold Power + Vol Up and Down during 5-10 sec until it vibes 3 times.
Is it the right process ?
Just fyi, your main cause of this is most likely when you tried restoring the apps.
Do not try to restore them with titanium backup Or cwm if you are moving from one rom to another etc... To avoid any issues like this one.
Backup and restore using whatever the app provides. Their files are usually located internally. ( just drag it to your comp)
Before starting flashtool, hit the arrow icon (where more hidden programs are running) you may find pcc or sus running sometimes after you reboot your computer.
Find the right ftf file, make sure you are using the most updated flashtool.
Good luck man.

Not saying you can't, but why should you have to rehash information they could have found themselves, but I guess this is what xda has become these days.

Thanks for the tip.
BTW no success yet and nothing happens until I unrelease the vol down button except status in the log chnging from Device Connected and after a while Device disconnected and so on...
When it is marked as Device Connected and then when I go to the Devices Info then Drivers it is :
09/048/2013 22:48:19 - INFO - List of ADB devices :

Ok, here´s the process:
Start flashtool, select the ftf and start the process... Flashtool will say Preparing Files for Flashing. Then, a window will prompt and tell you to put your device in flashmode.
With you phone turned off and unplugged, leave vol down pressed and connect it to pc until the window disappear, that's the moment you release vol down button and flashing process should start.
Add to that I don't know did you do this yet but I'll mention it anyway:
Before you start flashtool
1- go to settings of your device > developers option (enable it) scroll down and check usb debugging.
2- not sure if you need to do this but might as well cause I do it all the time. Phone settings > security > check unknown sources.
Go ahead and start flashtool and follow the instructions before this post

Thanks a lot for your support :good:
By not being alone I kept the head out of the water and finally succeed.
To make it short, it seems that the FTF file was a kind of corrupted (unable to check the MD5 Sum cause not provided), nevertheless I download another FTF file from another country (I selected UK as I can easely read UK than others languages) then on the second attempt it finally went well.
I do not know the effect of flashing another country Stock firmware yet, but I think as for the cooked rom it does not creates big issues.
Thanks again to supporting me on this tricky situation.
And as promoised after this answer, I will write down what I have performed.

Thanks for your answer, As I was blocked on the start of the phone, it was not possibe at the time being to change the settings (perhaps I were Lucky cause these settings were as you proposed before my issue happened).
I will learn more on the SUS and SPCC as I do not know so much on the Sony tech and apps. (Was an HTC addict for years until this one XZ appears and make me change).
Thanks for your support also.
Best Reagrds to all

Hey, thanks a lot man, after bricking my phone several times and use ur guide to unbrick it. I manage to explore more bout new rom and kernel...
And why should anybody flash back to stock? If u soft brick ur phone u should just reflash the rom that ur using right now...
I guess this is only the solution for "SOFT" brick.
Does it can make phone error sometime? Or not easy to use like before? Thanks...
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
No error..once you flashed your phone you can get ur old ROM android 2.1.
Easy to use.No bugs....!
If u r going to install any custom rom don't forgot to root and xrecovery....
I always preferred Companion, and you just connect, but if you're in trouble the Flashtools is a good choice :laugh:

Use flashtool to flash back to stock 2.1. It's the most reliable method for me.

Bro, in a soft brick you can't enter to Recovery mode. That's why we use Flashtool.

Two week ago when i played radio from an application on my device while charging it, suddenly my device reboot and reboot again...
Then i was trying reset all data but the problem still exist...
So i followed some guide from this forum by rooting and flashing it using flashtool and using new firmware from provide link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19684920#post19684920 and http://www.mediafire.com/?d3pobqqc3py66#4c02265ox4l1r )
and the problem was still the same, reboot and reboot again, so i tried using PCC and SEUS but it didn't change anything..
Lately, when i charge my device, it didn't reboot, but when i didn't charge the phone, on some point my device reboot and reboot again and the battery went down to +/- 2-15%
What is really happen to my device ?? Is it battery problem or RAM problem ???

cause it happen when i listening a web radio and charging my phone....
that time my battery is full but i forget to unplug it, and when it happen, the battery is enough hot....
or maybe my cache memory, that is used by a web radio application is full....
is any of that possible ??

Sony Ericsson X8 Bootloop
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Hope it works for you.

For my case, it will bootup with 1.6 stock rom, the baseband will be stated unknown, but it still can call and receive SMS...
Any rom that is above 2.1 won't be able to boot, that include stock 2.1 and any custom rom...
It only can be repaired by SE i think (or maybe JTAG )...
So in the end i gave up the phone and sold it at a cheap price to a friend and he took it to SE for repair, the phone comes back with stock 2.1 ROM
but the camera and vol button are not working, most probably damaged by the repair guy in SE...
Btw, any one knows what causes the baseband to gone like that?

Try this one. It's the ftf for the xperia tl. the one you linked is for the t (although I'm not fully sure that it would matter). Also make sure you charge your phone for an hour or two to make sure it has enough power to finish the flashing process

Make sure the phone isn't plugged in to the PC yet.
In the Development forum, there is an updated version of Flashtool (v0.9.11.0). Are you using that? If not, maybe uninstall your old one and use this one.
After you install Flashtool (I recommend installing it to a simple path like C:\temp\Flashtool), navigate to the folder where it is installed. There is a folder in there called Drivers. Run the EXE file in there. It will offer to install a driver for your phone, and also 2 other drivers you will need (Flashmode driver and Fastboot driver). Check all 3 of those and do the install. Once those drivers are installed, Flashtool should be able to recognize your phone when it is in Flashmode.
*Note that if you're running Windows 8, it may get *****y and tell you that the drivers were not installed (and it won't say specifically why). The reason, I believe is because the drivers are "unverified" or "unsigned".
To turn this Win8 feature off, go to the bottom-right corner of your screen to get that stupid bar to appear. Click Settings. Then at the very bottom, choose "Change PC Settings". Then go to General. Then scroll it down to the bottom (Advanced start-up). This will require a restart to show you the options. Do that and you will see "Troubleshoot". Click it. Then "Advanced Options". Then "start-up settings". Then hit the Restart button (again... I know.) When you see the Startup Settings screen, you'll see option 7 is to disable the driver signature enforcement. Hit F7 to do it. Then it will boot into Win8. Then you can run the Flashtool Drivers install to install your 3 drivers (xperia model+the flashmode+ the fastboot driver). You will notice that it will ask you a few times if you're sure you want to install the unsigned drivers. Say yes to all. Once it's all done, you can restart the machine and carry on with your flashtool flashing.

this is Lt30p!!It's for XPERIA T no TL You Sould flashed Lt30a Roms
plug your phone to Charger for 4/5 Hour then flash an Lt30a Rom
this may work
Here's an example of an FTF that is Xperia TL specific: (LT30at_9.1.F.1.120_ATT.zip). Found it via google. It is available at: http://d-h.st/TlU
To clarify the models mentioned, here is what I have been able to gather quickly (Please correct me if anything below is wrong or missing):
LT30at = the Xperia TL (which is the Xperia T, branded as AT&T, I believe)
LT30a = the Xperia T (the Canadian version T? This is my phone. I have flashed many LT30p FTF's on it successfully using the standard Flashtool procedure.)
LT30p = the Xperia T (for the rest of US carriers? and rest of the world?)
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.
Hi
what i did.
I unlocked the Bootloader via Flashtool
Rooted the device
Installed TW Recovery.
Installed iHackers 4.
All was fine until i saw the i wasnt connected to my Network Provider .
AHH i forgot to flash "Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.3.A.0.757].ftf"
So i went into flashtool and flashed it, excluding everything execpt Kernel and Baseband.
The flashtool finshed and the device shut down. And thats it. Since then nothing. Not even
the led or something is showing any lifesignal. I tryed every button combi. The red reset button.
Tryed to enter flashmode.. NOTHING!!! What the ?! ANy ideas what i can do?
Last time i checked the accu was @ 93 %. I have it now on the charger dock hoping it is just a battery issue. No combination (pwr+vol+ or pwr+vol- etc.) working so far.
thanx

Did you Backup TA? Did you followed this instructions HERE?
If you did not, then you was asking for troubles.

I started the Flashtool .. clicked on BLU and followed the instructions.
ANd the flashtool successfully unlocked the booloader
But thats not my problem. The Phone is dead.. I does not give
any lifesignes .. also the backup is useless if i cant get flashboot
or any way to use adb .. to work.

Yes it is a problem.
Even in this Tutorial is all well explained that you have to use the OFFICIAL Sony way to unlock Bootloader,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right.
Maybe I am wrong but this is how supposed to be to avoid issues.
Then you phone is bricked and you have to follow other instruction to check if still can be resurrected, there is many Threads on XDA about this.

Wow i haven't thought that I get some nagging here instead of constructive suggestions. In any case i will let the phone on the charger for 24 hours and see if it helps. Also I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BOOTLOADER ISSUE!!! All worked fine.. I booted into ihackers 4 multiple times without any problems.. Also the Phone would show ANY signes of life, eg. LED RED or blinking etc..But nothing
ALSO:
"..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right."
In the "getting started" thread of z1 it is suggested to use the flashtool! And like i said .. it finished successfully..
Thank you for your answer and the nagging...

Ok, If you are so sure then Ok, but still weird, as I follow different instruction and never had a problem then people do on they way and later have problems. It can be a coincidence and maybe is not your case, but sometime thinking easy can compromise the whole process.
I flashed different patches on mine Kernel I kill my phone few times and mine was completely dead, no led nothing, but it boot into Flashmode or Fastboot, you have somehow go in that mode and flash again, this is the only soft solution.
If you will not be able to do so then you have to go with the Test Pins, open your back cover and try to resurrect it, the hard way.

I don't understand what went wrong. After flashing the Kernel and Baseband the flashtool said everything went fine eand restarted the device. It turned off and nothing since then. I cant even get into flashboot or flashmode. It feels likt the accu is broken because there is nothing happening whatever i do. I think there is no power. I will not open the device because i still have 2 years of waranty (i hope they repair it as waranty case, if i am lucky) Else I will pay for the repair. We'll see. If this is an accu failure it should be a waranty case.
I had it for about 8 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "machine". Sometimes i feel like trowing it against a wall to see if it reanimates it... But i can keep myself from doing it. =)
We'll see..
probably stupid guess: maybe ur phone just stucked on something and may not be completely switched off??
press vol+ and power button, see if ut vibrates 3 times
if it does, congrats an flash kernel again
