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.

Yea..the problem is, I can't even get my phone to boot in to any mode, or get detected on my PC! Is it possible this app bricked my phone? . All the reviews said that I works

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.

Try download ftf relevant with your device 6602/6603.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42917602
use flashtool(new version) choose that ftf. plug your device and hold vol down.

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?
Gosh. This 5 minute rule...

Oops. Well anyway, all of these button combinations haven't worked. No vibration/LED blink whatsoever no matter how long they're held.

Please try fastboot-mode. Can you enter it? (press vol+ and plug in usb cable while pressing)
If so just use fastboot (tutorial: forum search) and flash a stock rom...
I think it's only a "softbrick" - no big deal to solve.
Good luck!

Here you'll find a lot of information to help you out with your xperia z, too.
Use fastboot mode, flashtool and a sony stock rom to solve the problem. You won't need a working recovery.
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%

i did exactly what he said, and remove the assert till the ' ; '
after that i ziped it back and send it again to my phone, and again get into CWM.
the installation went OK.

i did a reboot, but then the phone didn't power up.
he is very dead
is it final, or i can do something to revive it?

Hey there.
Phone: Xperia T.
I was going to install cyanogenmod 10.1.2. So first step was to flash the boot.img file through fastboot. But I got this weird error saying "FAILED, error, out of memory, too many links" or something...
After that fastboot.exe crashed on my pc. So I closed the command prompt and tried to do it again, but now it seams that my phone has stuck in fastboot without being recognised by my pc. Even when I unplug it it still has that blue led on, and when I try to reconnect it, it is not recognised. I tried rebooting but still my pc can't "see" it.
Any way out of this?
