I tried to unlock bootloader and got a boot loop.
Then i flashed the 343 FTF but it continue and now i dont have recovery to shut down the phone.
I think the battery will go 0% soon.
how can i at least shut the phone down? pls..
Sry to create a Thread but i dont have much time to search more :/
EDIT:
I finally got the phone to start, so i'll tell the "history" here to people that get the same problem as me, and ask some question before do anything wrong again.
History:
1- I was on .343, rooted, bootloader locked. Decided to install the 1.253 rooted version with dual recovery. Everything was fine, working great.
2- Then i passed to unlock the bootloader. Followed that thread... everything seemed normal again... disconnected the phone and powered it up.
3- The boot loop started. Got the sony logo, the lights flowing, and restarted... again, again, again
4- I entered TWRP tried to do a factory reset, got a error message... can remember what, but something about mounting...
5- Shut down the phone using TWRP. Opened flashtool and flashed the .343 TFT, Everything ok again, unpluged the phone and started it. (Didnt choose to wipe data and cache).
6- The phone boot loop again. That time without recovery. I got desperate and posted that topic.
7- Finally got the phone to shut down.(thanks boyob32). power button+volume up until it vibrates 3 times.
Basically is that.
SOLUTION:
Searching more calmly i found that thread. Used the Flahstool again (that time wipping data and cache).
The phone finally started up!
Now some question to not make myself a fool again.
1- What could i made wrong?
2- I'm a little scared to try to unlock bootloader again... Since i got no error when doing it first time, is it already unlocked?
3- when i was using flashtool with the phone in bootloop got some errors messagens regarding drives. Before that everything was OK. Should i install them all over again?
4- Can i unlock the bootloader before update to .253?
thanks again. you guys are great!
PS: I can't edit the topic title, sry for that.
Hold the power button and volume up together, after a while it will switch off.

Hello dear Community,
the prehistory ... about 2 weeks ago I get rid of my S2 and switched to the Xperia Z and I`am completely satisfied.
Because of my pre-"experience" with the S2, various Customrom's, Root and CMW I chose this day for these steps in the Xperia Z .
Got this in the course of the day and I Rooted the Phone and installed the latest CWM Recovery (bootloader locked). So far everything is working fine right after installation, I done a backup of my current StockFirmeware, if something goes wrong to have a backup ready.
After the Backup I Flashed this ROM
[ROM] [XZ] [07/03] Xperia KA02.2 Z Revolution ™ |
... via CWM, before the installation of course I wiped the Z, that nothing can go wrong ... I thought (backup?) ... The installation went smoothly, rebooted from the recovery and all i got was a .... Bootloop.
And here I am hanging tight since noon today.
Phone starts ... xperia logo appears, restart ... xperia logo appears, restart etc, etc. I thought I might still'm coming back into CWM, but None, no green LED on boot, if this is so, one should press on to the Volume + button to get into CWM ... doing nothing but looping again and again.
So i waited all day long until the battery was empty. After that i connected the Phone for hour to the charger. After an hour of loading time i tried to turn the phone back on ... But still no green LED .... Bootloop continue.
So i let the battery empty iself again. This time I connected the Phone via USB without switching on. Started the Sony Flashtool pressed the Volume- key and the Xperia connected to the Software, but due the Locked Bootloader i can´t to nothing.
That´s what i have been tried to bring this thing back to Life ...
Hope that anybody can help me get rid of this Silly situation
and BTW: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !!!

You can try Sony Update Service.
Thank´s for your fast reply,
git my Problem solved
Wrong version of Flashtool was installed, so i downloadet the beta2 out of the Forum and now .... my Phone is back Alife
For those who have the same issue, try too re-flash the firmware following the procedure below :
1/ Follow the procedure for flashtool
Tick erase data if it still does not work
2/ Wait for flashtool to tell you to conned your Xperia Z
When it does get ready to connect it (step 3)
3/ Wait for you bootloop cycle end
--> Wait for the screen to turn black
--> Once it's black press and hold volume down
--> Connect your Xperia Z to PC
Step 3 must be done really quickly before the bootloop cycle restarts.
Hope this helps !
if it does press thanks button
Thank u
I did this procedure and it worked
My xperia z connected to pc in flashmode in step 3
And i flashed kernel and rom after that
Thank u very much
I don't know what it is with my luck...
But I really need help.
So I flashed a custom ROM, the Hybrid Revolt Rom to be exact, and accidently disabled the recovery.
So I tried to flash TWRP via flashtool and now all I have is a blank screen when I boot up.
PLEASE HELP
I was able to solve my own problem, yet again. I apologize for panicking...
But I am willing to explain how I fixed it.
So the problem was that I had installed the Revolt Rom only to realize I wanted a different one. Unfortunately, I disabled recovery mode. So I had no form of recovery to flash it. From here, I tried to flash TWRP using flashtool, which evidently did not work and wound up leaving me with a phone that only had one display option: Blank Screen. lol And I panicked.
However, I calmed down and searched XDA. There was another form where a guy had killed his xperia almost as bad as I did. And if his Xperia Z still isn't working, then maybe this will help. (He flashed a GS3 ROM on his XZ)
I used the flashtool to flash DoomKernel, first. I had to turn of the device, forcefully, but holding the power button and volume up until it vibrated once, then three times, consecutively. From there, I got it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume up and reconnecting the device to the computer.
I was able to successfully flash the kernel, and then I powered off the device again and disconnected it from my PC. Finally, I held the volume down button down, reconnected it, getting into flashmode. From there I flashed TWRP, which somehow gave me CWM... But I'm not complaining...
Now I just did a clean wipe, installed the ROM I wanted, and am about to reboot.
Hi
Got an HTC for my son 2 weeks back. He used it for a day, but then got an update. After downloading the update, I restarted at the prompt and got a message that the download was corrupted. Switched off the phone and after sometime, restarted, but without the update. I then downloaded it again and got it running for him.
A week later and the phone just crashed and switched off! Charged it and switched it on, but it just crashes and boot loops. Since my son is now not with me, I instructed him to do a reset using hardware buttons (since it does not boot and thereby allow him to do a factory reset from within the phone. I told him to:
Turn off your phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

According to him, this too does not seem to help and it is still crashing (boot loops).
Can someone please suggest something. Problem is that to claim warranty I need him to bring the phone back (as it is a regional warranty) and the earliest he can get it to me is in about 3 months!
Thanks for any help/ suggestions
Does the phone have an unlocked bootloader and custom ROM?
If so then he needs to re flash the rom using Mike's thread:

Can you please let me know how to check if the bootloader is locked?

If it's new and clean, then the bootloader will be locked. You have to manually unlock it.
Try going to fastboot and then running "fastboot erase cache".
Though most likely, you may have to take it to a repair center for them to bring it back to stock, without you having to go through the hassle; Especially since it's only 2 weeks old.
hello everyone!
i have a few questions. and i have done my research yet i still find no solutions so i will ask here
this is my story...
-root,unlock bootloader,flash cm12 android 5.0.1, ran cm recovery
-running fine for around 2 weeks.
-in those 2 weeks there has been times where phone drained to 0 its battery, then charged it then it was fine
-suddenly one day. charged it after it drained completely. then wont turn on.would boot up to 'sony' screen then repeatedly reboot and do the same thing again.
-could enter recovery, but when trying to reflash rom, phone would reenter boot loop
-have tried charging for days.
-have tried removing battery, same thing
-then used flashtool, relocked bootloader, reflashed stock firware, now cant get into recovery, flash successful, yet phone still cant turn on pass sony screen.
is it a battery problem?
just to add, ever since the first time it started having this problem, i could never get the phone to turn on at all without plugging it in .
Hi Jetdin
had the same problem with my XT a year ago, when a powerbank somehow "nuked" the battery-logic... After that, I had the pleasure to know what a deep-discharge feels like :-/
To revive my XT, I had to replace the Firmware... I did it this way, maybe you can try a "factory reset", maybe it already works out for you...
1. loading it (turned off) 24h with original recharger (don't try to turn it on)
(1a - if you can reboot it to save apps, data, files - do it)
2. reboot into TWRP - and do a factory reset
...and try your XT; with luck, this already solved your problem... if not:
3. get the new image of your choice - i downloaded whiteneos 12.1 - works like a charm... and copy it to an sd-card
4. after (re)loading the XT - boot into TWRP - and install the new image...
...reboot and hope this solved the problem...
Good luck!!
Edit:
that it only stops at the sony-logo sounds like "operating system not working" - maybe a "higher" OS-version will do the trick?
Thanks for the reply theunlucky.
I have tried most of those.
The cm12 was on Android 5.0.1
The stock firmware for the Xperia T only goes up to JB huhu

you cant get pass the sony logo?
unlock your bootloader again
1. download whiteneos cm
2. extract the boot.img and flash it via fastbootmode
3. reboot
4. if you see a led hit vol + ( or vol - ) several times until the led color changes
5. now you should be in recovery... try to flash cm12.1 from whiteneo and reboot

So it won't stay off, even if you press power and volume up together for a few seconds? Which rom were you using, what did you do before it bootlooped, bootloader unlocked, etc...?

If I remember well, first I unlock the phone with the code from sony; after launch the twrp with adp on pc (for a strange motive it (the phone) doesnt load the twrp without pc) , clean cache and co, like 2/3 times, after installing the new rom
it seems to me the omni rom 7.1.2

Sorry to repeat, but just to be clear - when you press and hold power and volume up, what happens? Are you saying it turns off, and then automatically turns back on, and bootloops?

Try fastboot flash, (different kernel or different recovery...), or flash stock rom with FT.
