Download an ftf file from development section and use flashtool to flash it.

Pls could you explain how exacty you did it? By "the updater" you mean Sony PC Companion??? My phone all of a sudden wouldn't work properly when in a phone call, I could hear the other person but they wouldn't hear me. So I just turned off my phone and when I tried to turn it back on the triangle icon wth wrench and screwdriver appeared (I had around 40% battery). I left it like that for almost an hour and since it wouldn't turn back on I did the power+volume up but it would load back on to the triangle. Then I removed the micro sd and power+volume up and it loaded the sony logo, then the xperia logo, then this sony colored waves/smoke started and the 3rd time this "wave" crossed the screen, it just froze and began a never ending loop of sony+xperia+waves+restart... over and over again :S I tried pluggin it on my pc and starting the Sony PC companion but doesnt recognizes the phone :crying:
Thx in advance for any help! (btw, my xperia z is with the latest update installed)
Don't worry about the battery, it keeps charging even, if the phone software is dead. just pop it on the charger dock. i had similar cases.
Hey guys,
I'm seemingly having the same problem here, so I'll share my notes, if somebody could make any sense out of this.
A few days back the phone prompted for an update to be installed, which I then did.
Today I decided to restart my device since it was draining battery quite fast and got all this screwdriver thingy happening all out of a sudden. This phase went over in maybe about an hour. I was stupid enough to try restarting the device in-between though, which might have messed it up...
After this I got into the endless loop of Sony-XPERIA-waves-restart. And basically i'm still in it.
Tried to flash a stock ROM with Flashtool, but it'd only say in log that device connected in flash mode, and eventually disconnect. Also tried to repair with PC Companion. It downloaded the ROM and connected to the phone in flash mode stating "Updating.." (translated), but eventually said it'd failed (obviously timed out..?) Did try many times.
When the phone is not plugged in a charger it can be turned off with pwr+vol.up untill three vibrates, BUT when plugged, it will just reset and go back to loop. EDIT: In charger it's looping only SONY-restart-SONY-etc.
I fixed it!!
I finally fixed it!!
All I did was download a stock ftf (I found the italian unbranded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293794) and flashed it with flashtool beta 6 ( tutorial on how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614). At first it wouldn't start flashing but I tried several times plugging and unplugging my phone while holding volume down and it finally flashed It was the 1st time I ever flashed a ROM or anything so I'm sure anyone can do it.
I hope it helped.

Mmh. I've tried over and over again. No luck. :/

Now it also wouldn't even start looping anymore. When I power up the device (unplugged) it gives me "SONY" and then shuts down...
And when I connect it to USB it first turns on, gives me "SONY" and goes into flash mode (according to Flashtool)
Guess I should just take it in to service. It's naturally got warranty left after all...

Hi guys,
Just some background.
I bought my Xperia Z on . It was all good. I did not root or meddle with anything. It is pure stock.
Then suddenly, today while browsing using chrome, it just hangs and goes black.
I rebooted it but then once it get to the lock screen, it will hang again and reboot itself again. This goes on and on.
I then did a hardware reset. Hold Power and Vol Up for more than 15 seconds. The device vibrated 3 times. I booted it up again and the reboot cycle continues. Whenever it gets to the lockscreen, it will hang and reboot itself again.
Any one else having this problem?
Use pc companion to repair the phone.
Could be an application you have install.

Turn it off, remove the back cover and press the OFF button until the phone shuts down. Repair it with Flashtoo, Update Service or PC Companion. DO NOT LET THE PHONE COMPLETELY DISCHARGE.
Use rebootfix.
Next time search forum.

You've bootlooped your device. You have to flash doomlord's kernel and boot into recovery and flash system gapps and flash new twrp and your phone will be in working condition
Hi!
Yesterday i think i may have installed/flashed a kernel for 4.2.2 instead of 4.3 as my phone was running(if this makes any sense).
I am new to android and kernel, ROMs and rooting, so I don''t know exacly whawt I did...
Well, anyways... Now, if i charge my phone, it starts up to the Sony logo and shuts down, starts up to the Sony logo and shuts down, untill the battery is empty..
If I connect it to the pc, it connects, disconnects, connects disscontects and so on..
Any ideas of what I can do?
(sorry for bad english, but try to understand )

Try to connect your phone in fastboot mode.
Choose in flashtool fastboot
connect your phone while holding the volume up key
what happens?
Just flash proper kernel with proper fw via flashtool
Downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2
also will stuck in bootloop.
Flash 4.3 firmware exculed data partition, or flash 4.2.2 including data partition to start phone.
