Heyho!
I searched almost the whole day & web to find a solution for my problem, and you are my last instance.
My 1 day old Xperia T got into a Boot-Loop, and only the Sony-Logo shows up after starting the phone.
Previous procedure:
I installed the Sony PC Companion 2.1 and updated to 7.0.A.3.195, after this the phone went into the loop.
Now i can't flash any other software because USB-Debugging is off, and i didn't root the phone yet.
I tried to flash back to LT30p_7.0.A.1.303_Generic DE (found it here) but without Debugging = no flash.
Do you have any idea how i can flash or use any other FW without Debugging or Root?
Flashmode and Fastboot mode work in Xperia Flasher!
If you can stand loosing your data you could try a factory reset via recovery.
Info on how to access recovery menu is in the all-in-one thread.
If I helped, hit Thanks!

If you tried this via the official PCCompanion you could always take it back to the shop.
But i do suggest the following
1) Uninstalling pccomapnion
2) Redownload and install PCCompanion
3) Repair phone via PCComapnion. (You do not need USB debbuging for this)

I can't even enter Recovery because it immediately restarts after the Sony Logo!

The PCCompanion doesn't even recognize the phone because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.
I will return this brick to the shop, thank you for the proposals!

Your phone needs to be turned off for PCCompanion to flash it....Just go through the steps to update software and choose repair

I know what you mean, but when i plug in the USB-cable, the phone automatically turns on.
The menu is like this: SEARCH -> CONNECT (i plug in the cable) -> RECOGNITION -> at this point the phone is on for a few seconds
but it turns off and aborts the update!
This error appears: "PC Companion could not connect to the phone... please read the document troubleshooting".
But no point in this document helps me. There are only proposals like:
-use another USB port
- turn the phone off and on again
- Use another USB-cable
Seems like Sony bricked it with it's own software
Take it back to the shop then

Did you try :
while device is power ON
Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in [device will vibrate once]
Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down [device will vibrate thrice]

You don't have to. You have to put the device in fastboot or flashmode which you reach by holding either vol-up or vol-down BEFORE respectively WHILE hooking the phone up to your pc.
But as greg said, undplug and completely power off your device and put it aside. Then start PC Companion and chose repair. PC Companion will then guide you through the steps necessary to get your phone to a state where it can be reflashed.
because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.

Not true, it does not restart by itself in either flashmode nor fastboot mode
As pointed out above, theres fastboot mode and flashmode which bypass the failing OS bootup

You obviously have no clue what a brick is. You have a bootlooping device which is nowhere near a brick. But that's probably a detail you're not interested in.
Try to follow the steps above to repair (=basically a full on, clean reflash in Sony vocabulary) your phone and get rid of the bootloop.
Hi guys.
first ever post in here!(because nearly all of the time i've found an answer here!! cheers!)
i've had exactly the same problem and been looking all over for a solution as i also have the boot loop problem occurring. tried the repair options in pc companion and also SUS. if i'm right the battery has to be above 50% to update and i'm pretty sure it's drained. i remember when flashing my htc one x when that was stuck in bootloop with low battery that to get enough battery I made a battery loop batch file which charged the device. however this was in fastboot mode and i don't think i have that option on my Xperia T. is there any way to charge the battery so as to attempt another repair?
Thanks in advance!

Just leave it plugged in. But i have used pccompanion when the battery has been as low as 10%.
I think you could try a hard reset. (Volume up and power button for 5-8 seconds, and then keep it pressed for a further20 seconds, untill it vibrates several times) Then try flashing a stock .303 file from the all in one thread via flashtool

leaving it plugged in just continues bootloop. sorry should have mentioned i've tried hard reset. i did try flashtool (0.9.9.0 version?) but it was not picking up the device.

why are you flashing an x10 relock bootloader ftf?
Choose an xperia T stock generic ftf from the all in one thread and place that in the firmware folder of flashtools and choose that when you hit the flash button

tried the flashtool with the relevant ftf file but after an initial connection phase it kept bootlooping back out of 'connected mode'. however i left i (trial and error) and it did start to flash the ftf but initially it stopped around 40% then re-bootlooped. i messed around with vol- connection to usb and power plus vol+ shutdown method (which incidentally did not vibrate) serval times left it plugged in and each time it started but stopped flashing around 92-94% complete. having got frustrated i just thought what the hell and left it to attempt to charge overnight (i say attempt as this method never seemed to charge the device once i had this problem). Anyways i must've done something right (or not!:silly as i tried it again but today there must've been some charge applied as it flashed on the second attempt i tried (the first resulted in another aborted flash) it flashed my T no problem!:good:
thank you guys!:laugh:
Glad it worked out for you.
But you activated USB-Debugging before your phone started looping right?

Hello,
I think I've bricked my X8 and I'd need some help, I'd really appreciate it :laugh:
Well, I had nAa kernel and LewaOS ported, but something went wrong and it was unstable lately, 'til it got frozen at loading screen and I couldn't do anything anymore, so I decided to go back to stock kernel and ROM, but I was hurried and I didn't pay much attention to what I was doing, so I flashed E15i kernel, instead of E15, so my mobile phone is now stucked at "Sony Ericsson" loading screen, but nothing happens.
I've been reading guides and well, it seems quite simple: use flashtool or PCC to unbrick it, okey. But here's my problem: when I have to turn my phone off -and then hold back button...- my phone won't go off: I press power switch but nothing happens, so I can't switch it off, and if I just remove battery it doesn't work (Flashtool or PCC, I tried both), so, what the he** can I do?
Any ideas?
Thanks
remove your battery, and wait 10 secs, then insert it and try with flashtool, if it doesnt work, remove baterry again, and try with pc companion, do a repair phone. that should work, i had a similar problem like that before...
pull out battery
connect usb cable
prepare flash tool or PCC
press back button
if flashtool or PCC is ready to flash
put battery in phone
wait for green led/light
if i helped press thanks button

It's not working, I did exactly what you told me, but there's no green flashmode light, just a blinking red one. Mobile doesn't have a light when I connect it to the charger either. Now I'm fearing that battery is dead

Maybe your phone just need charging,leave it at the charger for an hour,sometimes when it has low battery the light doesn't light up immediately when you connect your charger
And then follow the steps as described at the above posts

One thing is important in your case. After downloading when you reconnect your data cable, don't forget to press back button instantly for 5 second. After that phone update will be start....
I hope it will be helped...

After searching around I couldn't find anything related so here's my problem.
After succesfully unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia Z it continues to work fine.
It prompted the initial startup screen (enter language, account info ect.)
I turned my device off and on... this is where the problem starts..
This is what i get
Sony brand logo>
Xperia brand logo>
5 repeated cloud animation of xperia logo and at the last one it stalls, Phone reboot and back to 0.
This goes on repeatedly until a hard poweroff or complete discharge ( I suppose)
So I know im kinda screwed, is relocking the bootloader any option? Contacting Sony atm for some sort of software replacement/flash anything..
Cheers, Geert
Try the safe mode,keep pressing vol down with power until the phone boot completely.
If the phone boot to safe mode than do a factory reset.

Welcome to XDA
you should go to the recovery thread in my signature. Read the first 2 posts.
Hope you recover your phone.
Hi everyone !
I have the same problem as GeertNool. My Xperia is stuck in the same loop. I have tried everything.
- Flashboot : stuck at 0% when i try to flash
- Pc Companion and SEUS = dead ends
- Safe mode : cant make it work
I read the recovery thread. It seems that the Kernel is malfunctioning but i dont understand what should be my next move. Am i supposed to let the phone reboot endlessly untill eventually the battery dies ?
Thanks a lot for your precious answers.

Yes.
When the battery dies the phone should reset itself.
After the loops end plug into a charger, not pc for now.
You should get a red led indicating low battery level charging is working.
After the red led you may get Sony boot screen or bootloops.
If you get Sony and then the charging battery icon, then charge to over 50%. Then use pc companion or flashtool to restore.
If you get bootloops then read my 2nd post from the recovery thread in my signature for bootloop tricks.
Please let me know if it works. I am looking to add the Xperia Z to my recovery guide.
If there are any questions about my guide please ask in that thread.
Thanks

had the same problem and i managed to fix it just showing sony sign by installing the sony update programme on the sony update website
all you do is put phone into flashboot mode.
on mine i had to hold up and power button untill it vibrates 3 times then press down volume button to get it into flashboot mode
takes a few atempts but it worked.
takes around 20 mins to download then install another 10.
i couldnt get flashtool to flash firmware as my phone is locked on 3 mobile firmware locked bootloader
i hope this helps you

I have the same issue here, the phone suddenly dead. Charge it using AC adaptor and wall socket and the red led flashs for about 2 hours, the orange LED never turns on. Try your advice and got this:
1) Vol up + Power not work (no vibration, nothing)
2) Flash with flashtool 0.9.10.2 beta6 with no lucky, indicated "device disconnected" after animation gone.
3) regress to flashtool 0.9.10.1, device connected and then stuck at "flashing data.....", the progress bar stay at 0% and then nothing.
P.S. bootloader is still locked but phone is ROOTED so I'm affraid it's out of warranty. Just got the phone as a birthday gift from my wife yesterday! She'd kill me if she knows that.
Update:
1) Power + Vol Up works now. The sequence does matter, I found I have to press the Power button first and then Vol Up, it dosen't work vise versa.
2) flashing still doesn't work for me. And I noticed that the LED turn green and then turn off immediately. I'm not sure if that is the cause. I'm sure when in fastboot mode (connect to USB port when pressing Vol Up), the LED turn blue and stay blue. Is my flash mode corrupted?? That's really bad!

downloading Emma right now, i will report soon
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?

it is not working
i have the exact same problem with you. locked bootloader as well
i updated to 4.2.2 with wipe everything.
Backed up TA partition using tool v9.3
after that the device does not wake up after a reboot.
no amount of power+vol up/down can boot the phone.
flashing via flashtool is also not successful.
what can we do now? other then sending it in...

i was restoring my sp with pc companion and my laptop shut down, the upadate was no were near complete and my phone will not turn on. the led light glows green when plugged into pc, and it does show sony boot image with a red led.
i was on .257 originally locked to orange/ee uk. i have sim unlocked it using a code. what tft file do i need? and were can i find the flash tool. thanks
okay it appears to be constantly stuck in flash mode, flash tool is finding it and verifying it in flash mode without holding the vol button down..
also pcc does not let me repair my software, it tells me it has been updated
also phone keeps bootlooping from flash mode to sony screen making it bounce out of flashtool

You are lucky that it is a soft brick just hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
The phone will vibrate 3 times do NOT release before 10 seconds have passed because you would only "take the battery out"
This will erase your Internal SD data and hard reset the phone.

Thanks for your reply mate, I somehow managed to fix it. I flashed firmware with flashtool. Even though it didn't finish, it hung on reading phone information. I unplugged my phone and it came on.
I can only assume that flashtool at this point had frozen, And there for had somehow flashed it. Either way it's working fine, so happy days
