Hold the volume+ button and plug in that should allow you to enter s/w upgrade mode.

With or without battery?

Many people recommended to remove battery, SD card and Sim card before entering s/w mode
It works without removing any of them .. simply hold volum and insert cable. Cheers

Switch off your phone, boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol up+home+power button together.
Once you are in recovery mode, navigate via vol up/down keys to the option factory reset.select by using power button.
That should solve your problem..

Try flashing a more stable version of jellybean like xxlq4(works like a charm for me..consider going for this version) or xxlqb..these have minimal bugs, so that might help..remember to do a factory reset after flashing..

I think lq4..works like a charm for me..give it a try..it wont harm your device..

hi all,
i have an xperia z c6603 lcoked,
i successfuly installed cwm on it, after that i tried to install a custon rom on it,
i enter recovery, wipped data/cache and installed from zip the zip
it wrote installed successfuly, without poping up the aroma installer (maybe this is my first problem, maybe i broked the stock rom )
but now when i'm trying to turn on / enter recovery nothing happend, only a blinking red led even when i puted it on charge
how can i fix this problem
Hold volume up + power for 10 seconds, then release them. Now, hold volume up and plug it into a PC via USB. You could probably use Flashtool now to flash a FTF file of your region. That should fix it.
thanks for your answer,
i have the blue led but usb not detected as debugging mod, will this work ?
should i worry about the led blinking ? i was on flashing roms on my old S3 , sony is more complicated ...
thanks dude

Hold down both volume buttons and the power button for 20 seconds, then it should boot!
try recharging the battery as it might be a wrong battery reading the 80%

Hi Zohaib,
nice to see you here. Hope you will come up with some good roms.
good luck with your bricked device
Did you play with TA partition?
Did you unlocked the bootloader?
Ps:emma is only for unlocked bootloader so it wont work in locked bootloader.

If bootloader is unlocked it should be easy to fix, if it's locked it also should be able to be fixed if it's a soft brick is it locked or unlocked?

Hey guys! My Z has been awesome these past few months and w the recent 4.2.2 update, its been PERFECT. I finally rooted it last week and installed CWM for locked BLs. However I haven't been able to boot to recovery so I downloaded an app called Quick Boot (Reboot ). The thing is, when I selected "boot to recovery", my screen went black and now I can't start my phone!
The LED also does not light when plugged in, and I've tried every possible button combination with no results.
Please help! Thanks!
Try holding power and volume up. You should feel a vibration and the phone should restart.

Hey I tried that, and also all three buttons and power + volume down, but none of them gave any response whatsoever. :crying:
You could try flashing a stock rom with no wipe with flashtool.

Just grab one of the generic 423 ftf available in the general section. Make sure you follow part 6 of the tutorial regarding keeping your data.

Your phone doesn't need to be booted to use flashtool. Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, you could try doing a repair with SUS - http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/
As for that app, I doubt it has bricked your phone. Any app that has a 'reboot to recovery' option will not work on our device as we do not have a recovery partition. There is a fix for this in the original development section that allows 'reboot to recovery' to function properly.

I didn't know that! Tried both. Flashtool doesnt detect my device...neither does SUS
This is very strange. When you held power and volume up, how long did you wait? You have to hold them for around 15 seconds IIRC.

What the hell, I'll try help. If you're in windows 8 you need to install the fastboot drivers booting without driver signing, what os are you on? if you need more help reply or check my profile for my skype user.
Try to push pwr + vol down to enter into flasboot.
You should also try pwr + vol up until the phone vibrates 3 times. That's a hard reboot.

fastboot is vol up + usb while device powered off. FLASH mode is vol down. What exactly do you get from the device? Any feedback at all? Backlight? Vibration?
