[Q] HELP! Xperia Z wont boot past Sony screen after flash - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash the 4.2.2 update to my xperia because i didnt want to have to wait for my carrier to release it. I used flashtool but i flashed the wrong ftf file. now my device will not boot up past the Sony logo screen and it keeps restarting it and each time it only gets to the sony screen. I have tried to flash a different ftf file and the phone connects to flashtool but when it is going to start flashing the device switches on and thus is dissconnected from flashtool. it is the c6603 version and it is rooted but not bootloader unlocked. any suggestions?

If you hold power button alongside volume up until the device vibrates, it should turn the phone off. Now it won't reboot anymore, and you'll be able to boot in flashmode.

Have it sorted! I didn't do anything differently to be honest I was almost throwing in the towel but I tried using flashtool one last time and it worked. Thanks for all the help

This forum is for Xperia Z, not Z Ultra
Anyways, you'll need to give us some more information. Did you flash your divece? Is it rooted? Which software are you using etc.
If your bootloader is still locked you could try to repair your phone using Sony PC Companion.
If not please report back.

[LT30p] [SOLVED] Boot loop after downgrading with flashtool

Unsatisfied by the JB update of my xperia T, I downloaded flashtool and the ftf file to revert to ICS.
Procedure apparently went good, but at the restart the phone is looping on boot: I see 'sony', then 'xperia', then the animation starts but after a little it restarts again and again.
Probably my fault was to leave the 'wipe data' option unchecked.
How can I fix? I can't unplug the battery so I'm not able to go to flash mode and try again...

Press and hold the volume up and power button together
After 10 seconds it will vibrate.
Keep holding it untill it vibrates another 3 times.
Then enter flashmode and flash it properly this time

Even my Xperia T is in booloop.... I flashed many times, many kernels but none are working. It shows Sony logo (not even showing
xperia). It stays the same in every rom. The phone was purchased from UK... Any help would be appreciated...

If you have not unlocked the bootloader then just repair the phone using pccompanion.
What exactly have you flashed? Have you rooted? have you unlocked the bootloader?

After the phone went into boot loop, i unlocked the bootloader. then i tried SE tool Emma to downgrade to ICS, tried your kernel as well as more 2-3 kernels in combinations but nothing worked. I used flash tool and flashed several ICS and JB ftfs custom as well as modded but none worked yet.... It's still the same, reboots after the logo... In older ICS, it reboots after Xperia screen while in other FW, it reboots just after the sony logo...
Is this enough information to figure out the problem? What is the right comibnation of kernel and FW to start this phone ? It was purchased in UK and came with ICS....It was upgraded to JB without any problem and one day it just went into boot loop surprisingly....
Thank you for your time...

Did as you said. Flashed the relocked bootloader through flashtool (not emma)... Used the PC companion and did a "recover" procedure...At the end it said "Xperia T was updated with 9.1.A.1.140"
The problem is still the same. It restarts after the sony logo....
What is the next procedure to try ?

That's is not good. After a pccompanion repair everything should be fine.
what was the last thing you flashed before the problem started?

Flashed nothing... Before the problem....the phone was updated to JB..It worked for 2 months and then suddenly one day, it freezes, when restarted ,it went into boot loop. That's what bugging me. The flash mode works fine, the quickboot works fine..i can flash any files without any problem, but with any rom or default FW, it restarts after the logo, so i wanna know the possibilities of the problem...
Is there any way with which i can fully format the internal drive and then flash the FW ? Is there a possibly of corrupt internal drive ?
I have had the same Problem, even with repair function of PCC. Only thing working for me was flashing original JB tft with flash tool. After that it bootet up normaly and everything was working again. (Bootloop stayed with ics tft, only jb tft worked)
I flashed jb tft->bootloader relock->jb tft

To flash a ftf file you need to go into flash mode volume down green led and flashtool will do the rest
You are going into fastest which is used for kernels

Good good just to remember in future if you phone reboots on sony logo it is a kernel problem if it reboots on xperia screen it is a system problem just to keep that in mind and if you are on a stock rom then they are ODEX so you will need to find mods which will work not DEODEX other wise you will get bootloop

Yes, but are you talking about Existenz v6 and about update package version v6.5?
When yes, go to recovery, select clean to install new rom, wipe cache, dalvik cahe and install Existenz v6. Then reboot and download Existenz v6.6 (latest update, which fixes many bugs) and flash it. Flashing without wiping should work, but i recommend to wipe cache and dalvik

I have a problem with my xperia T, it boot loops (starts up by showing the manufacturer logo, then shuts down, then starts up again)

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts
you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

Xperia SP bootloop

Hi everyone,I restarted my Xperia SP because it didn't show the volume (I changed the design) bar and now it's stuck in a bootloop and it also gets very hot (sometimes you see the lockscrenn but it restarts again).
I tried connecting it to PCC but it isn't recognized. Pressing the OFF button on the back also doesn't work.
The bootloader is locked, there's no custom recovery and it's not rooted running stock Android 4.3.
I hope you can help me.

I just 2 week ago also failed to root and having this bootloop.
what i did is
you using the SUS to reformat and reinstall your stock rom
Or if your phone can be detect by Flashtool,
You may try use the flashtool to reflash the rom/stock.
Or if your phone still can go into CWM (If you got any)
also can try from CWM
For some reason the themes cause a bootloop (some of them at least) so be carefull when using one

[Q] Don't know what to do with C6603.. HElP!

Hello Guys..
I need your help... Problem with my Xperia z C6603.
phone able to:
Vibrate 1 and 3x when power and + button used.
With led notification.
Problems:
can't turn on my phone
when charging Until sony logo only then turn off
when turn on sony logo and red notification then turn on
I Tried:
Flashing many times already-still the same problem
Emma- Still the same
SUS-Cant use...notify until July 1 etc.
PC companion-unable to update error
S1tool- error 01000000
What should i do, what is the problem?
Need help please..followed all flashing instructions in xda and other forums
Try Uninstalling PC Companion and make sure all PC Companion files are deleted in your computer. Download the latest version and reinstall it. Also is your phone unlocked? And if so did you use a program called S1tool? If so uninstall that program and make sure all of S1tools files are deleted.
Now try successfully fixing your phone through PC Companion.
Done that Already.
Still no progress...when pressing the Switch Button 3x red light blinking, when charging it Sony logo comes out then Turn Off.
T_T
How did it happen?
Have you unlocked bootloader?
If not and you have TA partition backup, you can give a try to unlock your bootloader via fastboot and then flash any custom ROM

And remember to have all whipe options ticked in flashtools
