XZ bricked - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I was playing with build.prop editor (just to hide the nfc icon, already did that before) and the program asked for reboot. I said yes and my phone won't boot up anymore.
No flashtool flash possible, no "vol-up maintained + power for X seconds" responding, no light when charging, really really nothing!
I guess it will go to my Sony repair center but if u have another idea, I take...
I tried everything!
PLEASE HELP!

I changed yesterday my NFC Icon setting from false to true in buildprop but I had no issue, must be something else that causing it ?

No LED? No bootloop?
Are you sure it's charged?
Connect thé phone and repair via SEUS or PC Companion.

If you've got a recovery, just take your SD card, connect it to the computer, add a ROM, if you are on locked bootloader there are roms for that too.
This one is great

Without the sim card the phone boot?
Did you tried the hard shutdown(volume up + power for 15 seconds till you feel 3 vibrations)?
Did you tried to flash another firmware with flashtool?
Did you tried sony update service?

I've had exactly the same problem, i've fully flashed first with Sony Update Service and i've re-downloaded the latest flashtool version and that's worked,
Also be sure that you have your smartphone correctly installed.

NFC disabled after root

hey guys just want to know if u guys are having this problem (im on stock .284)
so after rooting using doomlord's tool
the nfc cannot be enabled
if u guys are having this problem there is a solution found in XZ thread
sorry i cannot post the link to it since i accidentaly stumbled upon it
but according to the thread
all u have to do is find the folder data/usf and rename or delete the folder (in my case i just rename it to usf1 since when i try to cut it, it says there are some files that cannot be deleted)
and voila, the nfc can be turned on again
Worked!
I did what you said and worked after reboot.
Actually i didn't even notice that, since i dont use NFC.

what‘s your version?original 284 or other rom?
I tried turning it on after seeimg this thread and it just wont stop. Kept giving me message that unfortunately NFC service has stopped. I deleted that folder and rebooted but it didnt help. Had to format everything and flash again. So should I delete it and reboot? Then turn it on?Or is there any fix available? I dont use it but if someone accidentally turn it on then I will be in trouble. Please help.
I am on stock. 284 firmware downloaded from the link provided in this site.

Ive that problem before, the popup error just always pop-out, after I try to turn on the NFC.
just replace nfc.apk with the .257 stock, you'll be fine. theres no error anymore. (I give the link below)
set permission - replace the nfc.apk - reboot - wipe data 'NFC Service 4.1.2-_vr_nw' via titanium backup - Done.
and then NFC service can works perfectly
maybe helps u..

Xperia T ON / OFF button not working?

Hello,
I have a Sony Xperia T LT30P.
The phone functions all correctly expect the on / off power button does not work.
So if the phone sleeps then I have to press the camera button then the home key to get back to home screen.
Just wondering, would I be able to root this phone or not, since I cannot turn it off completely...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Yes you can root without using the power/lock button.

Use a fileexplorer(Rootexplorer) and go to system/build.prop and change it with the text editor.
Try that first for the icon.

You have not full access to change things on the root of your phone. It doesn't affect the NFC but if you want the icon back you must be fully rooted to change it in your build.prop.I think NFC is working on your phone without showing the NFC icon,do you have a NFC tag to test it?

Hey bro i googled some ways to edit the Build.prop thing that you were saying.. I downloaded an app that directly edits the text of that build.prop and it asked for a permission in SuperSU and i granted it.. Then i looked for the NFC icon that you said and changed it to True.. After restarting.. THE NFC SHOWS UP! thanks man! I am now running . 757 Nut's rom Cheers! :thumbup:
