If problem solved completely so we can use it more and etc
However i used it alot before update
Sent via my Sony Xperia Z | C6602
As far as I know, Sony hasn't received any reports of death phones due to the software issue of 350fw with the new 434fw
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
That is good news.
Can not wait for 4.2.x to release, did download krab his 434 NL FTF file just incase I get software problems.
Kind regards, Stefan.
But since the update after my nightmare began, First, ROOT many times without success (this is my problem), to complete the ROOT, try to go and get LINK2SD, but every time you create a EXT2 restartafter will not be able to enter, just kept restart, need to be removed the SDCARD, Anyway, if sdcard including not turn on, and subsequently I leave a message in the official website, and they told me to try a factory reset and clear memoryeverything, I have tried, but resolves containing the sdcard normal boot, but often a memory file something will restart to now, I have not yet been solved, I am thinking how to completely cleanpainted on the software, who can teach me how to clean, I also tried FLASHTOOL, but I try many time, it just is hold on at flash strat point, then over 30mins , is still....... i very bad lucky
pls Report here if u got this problem...

yes like your phone died with the 434 update ?
there seem to be quite some reports of a damaged kernel version with this update that uses a lot of cpu in standby and damages it through heat.
Updated the phone a few days ago, powered it off today and it did not boot. Now its in repair

Sleep of death is still present in .434 Phone was fine for a week after updating, but the problem has happened once a day for the past 3 days. Wake up in the morning to a dead phone. Able to perform a reset with power + volume up.
Not happy, where's this fix we were promised! Sony never said .434 was to fix SOD, it was all stupid rumors.

i had the exact same probleme with my asus transformer pad for 5 months and asus delivered several updates promising to fix the probem, but it did not work, this happened with android ics 4.0.3.
after half a year they managed to fix it.
so until it's not completely dead, just wait for a working update.
A week ago I noticed that after my phone's battery was drained out it reset itself. Every app datawas deleted permamently. The phone acted like a new one. The only apps that were untouched were system apps. Some of the apps installed a previous day were also deleted but its data stayed untouched in /data/data. I had to move these datas one folder up, install these apps again and then move datas back to use the apps just like the day before. But this case with datas happens only for the "uninstalled" ones, the rest of the apps that were not magically self-uninstalled were reset to the state when they are just installed.
About 20 minutes ago it happened again. But I noticed how my phone acted before the battery-drainage death. It dropped just to 2% and then suddenly switched off without any information about "shutting down" or anything. Only the LED blinked 3 times but nothing else... I plugged my phone to the charger and switched it on and voila... it was turning on for about 3 minutes nd everything is reset AGAIN.
Is anyone able to help me? I use .141 FW but this happened on .140 too. Also I have DooMKernel v7 flashed...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
I have similar problem, after doing many restarts with usb dis/connections, partitions remounts, etc.
I have endless bootanimation and from log I can see that IMEI has 0 lenght and ATcmdfwd service won't start.
Manual factory reset solves it. (I learned to make backups with titanium every day)
Sometimes this happens after shutdown without notification.
Also using DK7 and my rom.
What other mods do you have same as I do?
No serious mod installed at all. Only DK7 on stock ROM and nothing else. I'm really worried because it never happened before, my phone was shutting down with an information and everything was ok. But for a week I was insanely careful not to discharge the battery completely because I didn't want to restore old backups again... but I was curious if this happen again and my thoughts became true...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Hmm, so I am suspecting the kernel. I think I will try to return to v5 for a few days.
Maybe it is caused by the Dynamic file sync.
Try everything stock , stock ROM ,stock kernel ,no mods at all. See if it still happens.

Try flashing a other kernel if that does not maybe trying a different ROM will work "cough" cm10.1 "cough

Thanks for the tips! I discharged my phone again and this time it shut down at 4% but with the notification so everything is ok this time but earlier I uninstalled Kernel Tuner and these two resets happened with KT installed. I've installed it again and I will drain the battery another time and see if this was a cause.

Damn, guys... my phone did that again. I'm on XperimenT 3.0 ROM and I was playing Galaxy on Fire 2 when I fell asleep and my phone died. I woke up, turned it on and it was like waiting in a huge queue for about 15 minutes and voilà - everything is reset to stock except from all messages were kept, all accounts were kept, all setting were kept. This is pretty annoying as I don't want to do a backup every single day...
Is anyone still able to help me? If this problem persist I will be thinking about selling this phone and moving to another and I don't want to do this because for now it's a waste of money for me...
Returning to DK v5 solved this kind of problem for me.
Please help me guys, I have no one else to turn to. My parents are gonna kill me if they find out what I did to my phone.
So my phone accidentally fell at school with the bluetooth still on.So I put the battery pack, power it on, but then it started to go on a boot loop i.e.
Sony logo-->Xperia Logo-->color animation-->black screen. But after 3-4 hours, it managed to do a complete boot! But I noticed that the bluetooth wasnt turning on. So stupid me, I restarted the device, then it started to go on a boot loop again. I got home and I tried it a couple of times more with the power and volume rocker combinations... didnt work either.
I even started using pc companion. didnt work (kept on doing the same thing
SUS --> same thing
NOW: I tried it using a different computer so I went to an internet shop and downloaded pcc and sus. I started pc companion... but halfway through the download... MY PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY and didnt finish the update. :'( Now, whenever I'm booting the phone, I only get the Sony logo and A TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK AND A PHONE UNDERNEATH.....
PLEASE HELP ME! My Phone is a Sony Xperia TX Lt29
Last Version before the crash: JB 4.1.2
No root (Noob here)
please... please. i dont know what to do. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me
calm down.
Charge the phone until it is fully charged.
Download PCCompanion and do a fresh install of it.
Run PCCompanion and choose software update.
Use the option to repair your phone, then follow the instructions.
Let us know how you get on
PS
This will only do a software repair, if something broke because you dropped it (Which it sounds like) you are going to have to come clean and tell your parents to get it fixed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY!!! really thank you :'(
I already did something with the phone because I've been doing a lot of searching on the net lately...
I reinstalled the software using Sony Update Service (SUS) and it booted normally! (but sadly it was only during the FIRST BOOT UP) when I turned off the phone to re insert the sim card and micro sd, It started doing it again... but then, after 6 or 7 tries, it managed to skip past the sony logo-->xperia--> logo-->color animation? and do another complete boot
Now I decided to go to settings and do a complete factory reset cause I thought it would fix everything... but it didn't. It started doing the same thing, and I had to give it 10 or 12 tries before eventually booting up again. When it booted up normally, I was even able to play music with it and change the settings like brightness, volumes, equalizers, and even arrange widgets!
SITUATION NOW:I turn on the Wi-fi and it's in a boot loop again and I'm charging the phone up to 100%
(i did the vol.up vol down power combination before charging)
gregbradley, is it because of our slow internet connection??? (it took me like 4 nerve racking hours to finish the update) but sus was able to complete the download and install the software... what the f*ck is wrong with my phone (((( ohgod
AND:
I'll follow your instructions when the charge is complete...... and I'll be back to you with the results.God I hope this works.Thank you again.
Have you tried only partially flashing part of an ftf file. I know when my phone was on the brink of death I discovered that if I only flashed part of an ftf using flashtool that it would work. I think I would check everything that has exclude (ie: Exclude System) and it would work for me. Its not the end of the world though as the phone does work. Just a bootloop. If you can get it into flash mode then just exclude everything except System, Kernel, and baseband if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for the reply man '^^
um... to tell you the truth, I have no idea how to partially flash a tft file, let alone flashing. O_O (see how noob i am?) its saddening. So am I in the point right now where my phone's problem is unsolvable via pc companion or sony update service??? Plus I've been doing some searching here on xda and I saw this thread about xperia TX users updating to version b 167 and that their bootloaders are now locked.
This is what my phone is exactly doing whenever I try to boot it up:
Sony Logo---->Xperia Logo----> Color waves animation?---> FREEZE-->black screen then the Sony Logo again.
Whenever I try to boot up for the 2nd time this happens:
Sony Logo----> Black Screen---> Phone turns off---> Sony Logo again
(((
You have flashtool yes? If you load up like you're going to flash a ftf file. Once you click to load up the ftf file it'll pull a menu where you pick what you want to flash. On the right side of flashtool that's where the exclude part is. That's where you have to check the *exclude option. The same thing happened to me when I accidentally flashed a T cm10 rom on my phone. I had to partially flash a ftf file to get it to boot. It should work but since you're not familiar with flashtool its going to make it a bit harder for you in the end. :/

just let it plug in with the charger and keep your phone on for day, usually that will fix it after a few hours with that logo running
Use a battery charger, charge for at least half the entire batt and then follow the thread on flashing, download some files while charging to minimize downtime

Hey guys...... ))))
First and foremost, thank you for all your replies.. really helped me a lot (
It's okay now guys! '^^ I re installed the software via Sony Update Service and it worked. At first I thought the phone was a goner cause it didn't manage to do a complete boot right after the installation. (Phone was stuck on the Sony Logo) But then the next morning, I tried it again and it worked!!
BUT: What I fear now is that the phone might suddenly crash again if I turn on the WI-FI (just like what happened in my previous attempts) If the phone crashes, I fear that the phone would start going on a boot loop again.So basically, I'm just using the phone for media purposes only i.e. Walkman, Gallery,Camera, Movies.
Any thoughts on this, cool, awesome people of xda? '^^ (cant update my apps and google now f*ck)
just.. sad. I miss Flipboard,Modern Combat 4, My Daddy Was a Thief, Real Racing 3, DEAD SPACE (((
one question...
Did something broke inside my phone when it fell?? If yes... WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?? why is it behaving this way??? Why does it keep on boot looping??? should I go and let an expert open it????

Hello i have found some guides that explain how to deal with this but i could not solve the problem
1st) I cant find 0byte files on my internal sd
2nd) there is no way that i factory reset the phone
3rd) the app that used to work like magic on 4.3 now wont work (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot)
4th) An app that i found in a post caused some problems (like phone locking up and having to reset the phone so i can unlock it)
I attached some photos of my battery drain so you can get an image of the problem
(it may not seem as a drain but when i used the "Rescan Media ROOT" app on 4.1.2 i used to get a MUCH greater battery life.
My phones status
UBT
Rooted
Running on 4.4.2 Aopk Rom
Doomkernel v04
Thank you and i am sorry for my endless questions i try to contribute to the forum as much as i can.

I have tried 2 roms existenz and aopk kitkat same problem i formated the internal card yesterday in case this did not work I'll have to format my external.

All day long.I use poweramp but i think the principal is the same.
Also i found out that the total wipe of my internal SD i did earlier did not help at all.
But using BetterBatteryStats i found that:
AudioMix has been running for 2 hours and 3 minutes in total. (partial wakelock)
PowerManagerService.Wakelocks has been running for 2 hours total (kernel wakelock)
Whats all this stuff ?Are these 2 system related ? and last but not least can i stop them from running ?
Well playing music drains the battery pretty quick. This is also due to mediaservice.. We cant do a thing about it.

Turn off all syncing activities and also use odexed roms because the deodexed roms have this issues usually, random battery drain amd such. Kernel might also be the problem so you can try that.

I have an issue, last nite my sp was normal, but this morning facing a problem
My sp cant used when not connected to charger, when i open an apps it becomes bootloop,sometimes not just boot loop, its sudden shutdown by it self.
But when i connect my sp to the charger, its become normal, i can used it for anything, i try ubl and use custom kernel but still got the issue.
The day before its happen, my sp facing big drain battery, and i do recalibration on my battery using an app from playstore.
I need a help here, is this battery hardware or i can do something to fix it?
Happened to me once, turned out to be a hardware problem, had to get it replaced. Have you tried wiping everything and flashing stock firmware? It may just work!!
Not yet, im in stock 4.3 existenz ultra 4.0.0
I think its same as stock rom.
