[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones

Hi,
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
MOD EDIT Link Removed at OPs request
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again.
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards
Team FreeXperia

great work FreeXperia Team!!!!

thanks for the info Bin4ry!!!

Again thanks alot for your effort.
It's not working for me though as I used the renaming simlock.ta to preset.ta method already.
Is there any hope that I can restore my ARC?
I tried the package put gives me error flashing preset.ta and aborted>
Again thanks.

TA files contain hex data that's written to Trim Area of the phone. TA is very sensitive to modifications - if you change some important TA unit (especially in TA Misc) you can make your phone useless.

Wowww you guys are simply great Awesome!

You can really help a lot of people with this

I have already flashed the phone using vutan server once. Does this work after that?

Androxyde will look into the Flashtool Error this evening. Maybe the file is just too short and flashtool gets confused.

adding junk in comment might work? //junkjunkjunkjunkjunk
also, original simlock.ta file from SE has got 0128 before actual hex data and after TA address

Before it dies, both of them were on!

This should be correct preset.ta:

If you get error, repack bundle with loader.sin from Arc FW (this one is taken from Play fix bundle).

Excellent! I've "cracked" TA file lol
Now reflash phone with FlashTool, fully, with data wipe.

It's working!
Thank you so much.

NP nice to hear that it works...

I reflashed the phone after it died with vutan program. It's just like a new one now!
Do I need to reflash it again?
BTW I thanked you in the other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14783998#post14783998 and posted your method.
Thank you all again.

Is fastboot working?

It doesn't matter you are in MTP mode or not
I will check your log later
Try to kill ADB server first, and try again
Do you have PCC or SUS in your PC ?
Do you have ADB driver correct for LT29i ?
You can find ADB driver in flashtool folder
Try Flashtool 0.90 (older )

wow my Note did that and I had to redo the system partitions cuz of damaged blocks on it... I hope its not the same but it should be fixable just really annoying to do so.
You still got warranty and what not from the store you got it at? I'll try and help you out best I can.

Thank you gregbradley please dont tell me no need to explain . i have and i must to explain because you didnt see how huge the people number who asking or suffering from this problem in TX or Ion or Acro S or S . search on google and u will see and most of those people theyget replies
really not helpful like what i get from sony website ... they only say ( ok put ur mobile on PCC or SUS ) and this is not the solution while this wrong
solution is spreaded around people replaies back that it didnt work . they just say anything .
thats why im happy to be here in XDA and im not selfesh i must give out the experince what i learned because for sure there is another people not you and not me ... some people they are weak in mobiles or computer knowledge when he write for example ( TX restarting problem ) so he can find our thread and can find good help in XDA .
Thank you gregbradley for your kind reply .. and dont ever stop sharing all the best you know to who need to know . if u dont like to share . i like to do this all my life
thank you and all epople in XDA developers .

[Q] [q] are xperia phones this frustrating to root?!

ok so i just purchased a xperia z1 c6903 unlocked. before receiving the device i read tutorials about how to root it, unlock, custom recovery/rom, etc so i would have an idea how to do it when i got the phone.
fast forward. i got the phone and wanted to root right away. i know with the out of the box firmware i would be able to root. i was on .526 and was going to use kingo root. i didnt want to use root360 or vroot since i was afraid of the malware and at the time i didnt know there was bina4y's way of rooting. when i tried rooting the phone using the most updated version of kingo it said root failed and ended up putting my phone in an endless bootloop. i had to use the sony pc companion to repair the phone but it ended up updating to .257. no problem i thought, ill just downgrade and use flashtool to root and use OTA. this is where the fun begins...
ive used a good chunk of the FTFs for c6903 including the commercial/journalist one so i could get the OTA while maintaining root. ive restarted my computer, changed usb cables and ports, and ive used the newest as well as the previous version of flashtool and it all ended up with the same results. endless bootloops. the only way i could get my phone to boot up is to use sony pc companion and repair again. can someone please help me before i smash this phone out of pure frustration?

I followed this video and rooted fast and painless.
I also rooted my first Z Ultra by unlocking the bootloader etc etc, I will get a new one today which I will not unlock. (First one got destroyed)
So no, I don't think they are frustrating to root.

They are unbelievably easy to root.
I have never had an issue.
Downgrade to any .534 firmware. Ensure you are using the latest version of flashtool and have run drivers.exe from C:\flashtool\drivers (Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z1 drivers)
Ensure you have ticked to wipe everything and have nothing ticked to exclude anything.
If you do this properly you will not get a bootloop.
Root using bin4ry method, update OTA. Done

Xperia phones are really easy to root, even to unlock bootloader - if you know what are you doing or watch what are you doing.
Z1 is relatively new device and that's why it's still going in baby steps.
When Sony fix camera issues (unlocking bootloader) and few months past, guys buy Z1 and start developing, you'll see hiw great things we could have on Xperia devices...
Just be patient, same thing was with Xoerua U, Xperia S and Nexus devices....
It needs time for developers to get phones and "learn" how to bring new stuff on it...

Are you sure you have a C6903? Flashing the wrong FTF will result in bootloop
Make sure you have ticked nothing in the exclude list and have ticked everything in the wipe list

its definitely not fake. got it from a seller who shipped from singapore. has a bunch of positive reviews and selling a lot of them. i think he sold 400+ xperia z1s black and white combined. it also registers as a z1 on my computer as well as the flashtool so im not concerned aout that.

One thing that tripped me up and doesn't seem to get mentioned (maybe I overlooked it or was unlucky).
Turn off the Screen Lock in Settings > Security as well . All the FTFs I tried had Swipe set by default. Kingo root worked fine for me after I did that. Would have saved me hours of frustration.

Try a different ftf, code any one of them that is a 534 version. It might be that your ftf is corrupt

i really appreciate you trying to help me out.
i tried different FTFs, 2 different computers, different ports, and im still getting bootloops... any other ideas? when i flash i make sure everthing is wiped and nothing is excluded. also the last 2 checkboxes on the bottom right are not checked if that makes any difference. all the firmware ive downloaded is in the firmware folder for flashtool. ive installed the drivers in the drivers .exe folder. im not sure what more i can do now

Please try flashing this in flash tool

Please let me know how it goes

Yeah done that a couple of times now ...same result :crying:

Which OS are you using? XP, 7, 8?

Does this stop you from using Flashtool? Did you try and flash an FTF?

You activated the usb debugging? Check Flashtool version you use on your pc

You don't need USB debugging activated to flash a FTF. Flashmode does not use ADB.
