Huge Problems, help!!

Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

Switch off your Xperia ZR first
Press and hold the Volume Down button
Connect to your PC using a USB Cable while holding down the Volume Down button on your Xperia ZR
Before plugging in the USB cable on your Xperia ZR make sure that the other end of USB cable is already connected to the PC.
Your Xperia ZR should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green

you have to install the drivers for your ZR ! Go in C:\flashtool then go in Drivers folder and then search for Xperia ZR ( you will find it with name Xperia A)
after you install the drivers power off your phone and boot in flashmode and then install the rom.. No matter if is rusian version or any version .. you can swich the language after you install the rom .. Maybe you will find some preinstalled apps on your device but that`s all Hope i helped you ..

That's impossible. Go to Flashtool folder. U will find the driver folder and Flashtool-drivers.exe to be run to install the required driver for ZR. Run it and tick the nessesary driver and clicked installed and u're done.

Are you on windows 8?. Windows 8 requires some special steps to install the xperia A drivers. You have to disable the driver signature enforcement first then install the drivers.

I don't know about ZR but your log says USB debugging is off .
So enable USB debugging.
And make sure you are not in mtp mode in USB connectivity

OK... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware. Because i flashed my phone for some times and flashtool did not said something about errors and drivers was ok.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...
Any thoughts?

Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.

[Q] phone won't charge

my phone ran out of battery, then i plug it into charge but nothing happen,
when i check my charger with other phone the charger. is work
then i test to connect to my pc and open flash tool nothng happen,
then i try to turn on my phone, it is on for a while and the flash tool recognize it.
then the phone shut off again.
and still wont charging.
what should i do?
the battery is really empty right now..

Hang it for atleast 24hrs to the charger. There will be no led light indicating anything but it will charge.
After that restart it..
If this does not happen then the usb connector is broken (I had the same issue)

For me Flashtool works better because via the log you can see what is going on
From what I get your device is booting into flashmode but only for a short time. You could try to hold the volume down button a bit longer.

Driver Issue Flash Mode

Hey everyone,
Have a bit of a major problem with my Xperia SP right now and I am hoping someone can help. I originally was on Windows 8.1 and had some major issues with the system, among one of these when I tried to install Flashtool drivers from the included file, I had to go through all the resetting and reinstalling to get driver enforcement off however when the drivers installed I connected my device and it was fine.
Then I tried to put the phone in Flash Mode and everything was going downhill, basically I connected my phone as I had done a thousand times previously on windows 7 and the phone would go green for about 3 seconds then red light and go into charging mode. If this was done when requested from flashtool it would detect it was connected but I get an error with loader.sin as below....

02/049/2014 03:49:50 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Now in normal circumstances this means your bootloader cannot be unlocked right? However my bootloader is unlocked.... and confirmed by service menu and also I have been using unlocked bootloader ROM's....
So anyway I eventually had enough of Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 (separate partitions are a beautiful thing ) and tried again.... same process same result. The best bit is on both systems I cannot forcefully uninstall any phone drivers because i just get an endless loop of failures unless I do it before connecting the phone once to the computer. The way the phone reacts in flashtool is as if the phone is permentantly in Flash Mode however its not and still stays the same way until I reboot my computer.
I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling but nothing is working. I even tried a different cable just in case and nothing. This only affects flash mode or the entire phone once flash mode has been activated once and then it affects the entire system and wont allow me to restart normally without pressing the reset button on my case even if the phone isn't connected and I also cannot do anything with the drivers anymore at this point.
I am actually trying to relock my bootloader and go back to stock as I will be selling the phone later this week. I flashed a cut down stock ROM from XDA using recovery but now its flashed I no longer have recovery either since it was stock and I have no root privileges now xD
Ideally what I am aiming for is to relock bootloader through flashmode, then use sony tool to reinstall full official firmware. This issue also happens with Sony tool by the way.
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Also tried to reinstall all drivers and Sony tool as well, MTP driver installation failed but all others went ahead and I got this on Flashtool

Would you like to use a Linux version of Flashtool? I will guide you from the very Live USB booting, UDEV implementation, and lastly the flashing process
Though please note I am quite busy, so my replies will be quite slow.

I cannot downgrade my Xperia Z. PLEASE HELP ME!

I just got my Xperia Z today... I saw that my smartphone was showing that there's an update avaible. So, I thought ,,Why not?"... After installing Android 5.0, I noticed that it was pure sh*t. I cannot connect to the internet anymore, I have no connection and the design sucks so much... That's why I want to downgrade it to 4.4.4 but when I always want to start Flashtool, it says this:

I tried to flash my smartphone despite those facts, but it failed... Does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!!!

Can my smartphone get broken if it says fail? Yes, I tried it once, but I really don't want to get it broken at the 2nd time...(otherwise I'll have to wait until a new update comes out and fixes the problems...)

And this Problem is also Experienced by man Other Xperia z Users.

Have you tried to flash different .FTF's? Don't you think that the one you've chosen is broken?

Try another ftf may be yours broken.... And if you clean install the rom u will not face any battery drain... And if u realise that there's battery drain then use greenify...Which saves your battery drain problem

Xperia SP Bricked?- won't turn on at all

Hi All,
My Sony Xperia SP was slow, so decided to root it using KingoROOT, which worked fine. Then I followed various tutorials from different sources to try and get CyanogenMod installed.
I followed every step, wiped the phone's original Operating System, and put the CM11 Huashan zip file in the SD card, but now it won't turn on at all. I have tried unsuccessfully various times this week, and have almost given up.
When I power on, I get a brief green light, then nothing. Not even the Sony logo- just blank screen.
I’m a newbie so don't know what happened exactly- maybe I didn't unlock Bootloader?
I'm not sure what went wrong, so links to the tutorials I used are below, (give you an idea of what might have happened):
I followed a YouTube video called Tutorial How to install CyanogenMod 11 M/Nightly build on Xperia SP, and various other tutorials, but except my phone didn't start
Anyone that can fix this is a genius, because I've tried so many times...
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
