Hi, I've been following XDA for some time and successfully rooted my older phones since the X10. I ran into trouble with my Xperia T though after attempting to upgrade it to 9.1.A.195. Something went awry after following (as closely as I thought I had done) the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43953283
The outcome of it was that my phone is now completely unresponsive, I found another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243299&page=2 which shows how to possibly recover a brick, but I'm wondering if any of you knowledgeable types can offer me any words of wisdom?
The Xperia T was just showing the initial "Sony" boot label and going no further, I left it on that screen alone to run out overnight as per the second thread, at the moment I'm guessing it's not quite run out as if I try to turn it on, I don't get anything on the screen, but the red LED flashes a few times. If I connect it to a charger now it goes back to turning on and only displaying the "Sony" boot label.
Is this Xperia a dead duck or can I fix it??
Hard reset it and repair using pccompanion if you have a locked bootloader.
If you have unlocked the bootloader then hard reset it and flash a stock ftf, wipe everything and exclude nothing

Thanks, will try. Should the battery be completely drained or full to try the PC Companion method?
Full

Hi, I think it's dead I've been trying to PC Companion repair it, but it keeps disconnecting from PC Companion, I'm going to leave it to charge fully then try again. PC Companion was able to resume the download portion each time it disconnected, but now it's got to the update part it needs to start from scratch, but it looks to disconnect/reboot or something each time which interrupts the update process.
What I did, from memory, was to CWM flash .195 and kernel, on reboot it just came up with the "Sony" badge and went no further. I can't get back into CWM. I can't use flashmode in flashtool either as I can't connect the phone using the up or down volume. The only thing that seems to be working is the soft and hard reboot as I can feel the 1 or 3 vibrate happening. Once I reconnect now using PCC it connects for a short while then disconnects, nothing visible on the screen.

when you say you flashed .195, my firmware is .145, .195 is an ICS firmware, so if you've cross flashed then this is what is causing the problem. If you can get to the sony screen there should be a way to fix it!
Are you sure you can't enter flashmode? try again. turn the phone off, open flashtool, put the cable into the PC, not your phone, then hold the down button and don't let go, then connect the cable whilst still holding the down button.
EDIT: to confirm you do have the Xperia T, LT30p?
not LT30a and the TX?

Ooops, typo, I was flashing to 9.1.A.1.145 from locked and rooted ICS.
When the LT30p gets enough battery it turns on, takes about 1 second to show the "Sony" label (after that is normally the "Xperia" label then the swooshing colours before the Android OS). I've left it on charge for the moment, it's showing a red LED.

I left it on overnight, Sony was displayed until I guess it ran out of battery. I haven't re-tried flashtool yet, charging it back up again.
Infact, I'm not sure if it got a partial update on PCC, but it doesn't look to be turning on now, not sure why. If I press the on button the red LED flashes, if I try to reset I just get the red LED flashing again.
If I connect it to flashtool, Sony is displayed, I get the following on flashtool:

you're getting into flashtool, you'll be fine.
that's fine, when it does that, just take the phone out and connect again.
mine does this so it's normal.
Try, putting the FTF in first, then click ok or whatever to flash, then it'll say connect the phone, so connect the phone
You need usb debugging on.
So you will have to repair with pcccompanion before flashing with flashtool

Holy **** sticks! I don't know how many times I tried doing the same thing over and over and over, but PCC ended up getting it's hooks in after the n'th attempt and I now have stock 9.1.A.1.145 installed! Looks like the official Sony PCC upgrade is Polish which is a bit weird, but I've got it into English anyway.
Am I chuffed?? Too bloody right I am!!
How many thanks can I give in one thread? I am very chuffed that you guys insisted that it wasn't a lost cause.
Last brave question from me... can I root the official 9.1.A.1.145

Hi, so I have a stock ICS rom on my lt30a, and im trying to put the Jelly Bean update. This is the first time im using flashtool but I did my research and knew everything I needed to do. One thing keeps preventing me from flashing it to my phone. I put the phone successfully in flash mode, green light, its recognized in flashtool, excellent, then after a short period of time my phone just reboots, shows the sony logo and is charging normally. I think my computer just keeps not recognizing the phone again and again but as far as I know all the drivers are installed.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Ok then looks like usb debugging is turned off goto developer options and turn it on and try flashtool again also make sure to allow mock locations in that same menu
hope this helps
Huh it says in developer options that usb debugging is on. I turned on mock locations and will try again. It could be the problem is with my computer or Windows 8 not flash tool or my phone

I'm nervous about doing that because one time I did it and I just assumed there was a time out, so I quickly went into flash mode and started to flash the ftf file. It said preparing then a second into actually flashing it disconnected. I thought I had bricked my phone but it booted fine.

Well, thats the way to do it. You must let flashtool prepare the files and only attach the phone when it prompts you to do so.
Tell me what happens when you do it. I cant help you if I dont know if it disconnects whilst actually flashing. Please copy and paste the log from flashtool

Might this be some contributing culprite. I cant try to flash it right now but i will when i can. Thanks for the help

No need to say thanks, just hit someones thanks button if you want to say thanks.
That is a seperate issue from 303 or 195 FW, I beleive it is gone on 223 and 498 FW
But what you can try is to press volume up and power button to hard reset the phone. Do it untill it vibrates once AND THEN KEEP PRESSING UNTILL IT VIBRATES 3 MORE TIMES. Then try connecting in flashmode

Yes it is, it happens for all xperia models
Ll give you the idea
1. Install flashtool beta 5
2. Install Xperia Z flashmode and fastboot drivers from drivers folder of flashtool installation directory
3. Copy the ftf to firmwares folder
4. Don't connect the phone, now flash the ftf and wait till it prepares the files for flashing (believe me this WILL take a while)
5. Now when it asks to connect after preparing, switch off the device and connect by pressing the volume down button
6. Now it starts! Solved?
Press THANKS if I helped!

Thank you for that guide
I followed your steps but the same happens, phone disconnects from flashmode to boot normally. I even tried using a Windows 7 pc but same issue.
However, if I use SUS phone remains connected and the process runs well. If i connect with flashtool (or without any programme at all) it will disconnect after some seconds,
smash_07 install pc companion and go through the steps for doing a software repair it will install the drivers, as the drivers dont always install properly from the flashtool drivers folder even though it says there installed, once the s1 boot drivers have installed cancel the software repair and then open flashtool and go through the normal steps and you should find it'll start flashing the software for you, as I had problems like you until I did what I posted, also make sure there is no other sony apps running as that can stop the flash from starting.

Confused, it is normal that it gets disconnected after some time but it is so peculiar that it disconnects so fast! Try the solution posted by the other guy and share the solution, ll figure out another way if it fails
Ps: Before starting flashtool make sure that adb isn't running. Open task manager in windows, kill adb.exe if present and then open flashtool, follow the guide I posted earlier and when the part comes that the preparation of files is complete and when you connect your device, make sure that none of sony related apps are running (sus, pcc, emma). If they do, EXIT them first (closing them will minimise them to system tray so exit them from there). This also can be done before opening flashtool.

I did all you suggested but in the end i get always the same result, phone disconnects from flashboot shortly after connecting, eccept inside Sony Update Service or PC Companion.
I unistalled all the drivers, even Sony's apps a reinstalled PC companion to install the drivers again. I used another pc with Windows 7 32bits and I get the same behavior, disconnects from flashmode in about 30 seconds.
I'm starting to think that there's someting wrong with the phone itself, which i hope not.

Where do you see the percentage when flashing?
I made a tutorial on HOW TO FLASH STOCK ROMs WITH FLASHTOOL and I don't see the percentage. It justs tells me that flashing is complete.

The issue has changed now, the percentage was because i was not using the correct flashtool version for the the Z.
The problem now is the phone disconnecting from flashmode in about 30 secs after connecting and flashtool never gets to start flashing it,
EDIT: Changed the thread title to reflect the new issue now.

Have you installed the driver using the flashtool? Not talking about the PC companion driver?

I tried both ways, with the flashtool drivers and pc companion ones.
Am confused, 30 secs is more than enough to start the flashing process, are you saying that the flashing doesn't start in 30 secs? If so, that's why I told you not to connect the phone at start and after the preparation of files is complete and when it asks you to connect, try connecting and immediately the process should begin. Even if you have connected the device before, no probs. Flashtool don't need the phone till preparation of files is complete, so you disconnect whenever befor you want, the time where it pops a popup asking you to connect the device (shows an animation) is where you should properly conmect and leave it aside. It will and it should start immediately

Got the problem!
It was the firmware package that is corrupted. I tried using the UK .434 instead and it flashed with no problems or hickups. So the drivers and the phone were working well all along and the problem was where we less expected, in the firmware package.
I got the UK .350 firmware from here so there must be an error that has to be addressed with it.
Many thanks for your help
Glad you made it, cheers!

I found that running the 32 bit version of Flashtool solves the problem as well.
me too but my phone is TX, using flashtool 0.9.19.8
Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......
1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6
2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!
3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).
4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.
5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!
Press thanks if it helped!
hey i am having same problem with sony xperia m dual c2004. During flashing in flashtool 0.9.13-22 all version tried i got same error 31 (A device attached is not functioning). Problem is my device auto disconnect after 30 second and reconnect in 3 second and this process goes in loop. On usb connect green led blink once and than no light for 30 second. My device is not functioning it has bootloop issue. Tried ftf files version 15.1.A.1.5 and 15.1.A.2.5 both give same results. Is this a hardware problem or i am doing some mistake. Please give me solution i am new here. Thanks in advance...
Hi all, I'm new here and very much a novice when it comes to phones, operating systems etc so excuse me for the noob question and complete lack of knowledge...
My Xperia T developed a microphone fault whereby nobody could hear me when I called them (incredibly faint). I had the phone repaired at a local repair shop. Almost immediately upon receiving the phone back it developed a (What appears to be very common) battery fault, whereby it would reach 80% then shut down, restart, shut down, restart......
So, before returning it to the shop for further repairs I attempted a repair using the sony software. Half way through this repair the phone shut down!!! PC lost communication and I was left with a phone that simply displayed the 'Sony' start-up logo.
I have now returned to the shop and they have installed a new battery but are unable to get communication with the phone via the sony software (so basically they dont appear to be getting any further than me!). They are saying it is beyond repair - but I find that hard to believe? Surely it is just a software issue?
Can anyone advise what can be done? I am reluctant to write this phone off - surely it can be flashed with a new operating system or whatever needs to be done to what is essentially now a 'dumb' device?
This is the way to fix the software issue, ALL YOU DATA WILL BE LOST. And i'm not responsible for anything might happen to you device . DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Google xperia t .145 ftf file
Google flashtool for xperia
Download them
When you have installed flashtool, go to its folder, install drivers (tick the TX, flashmode and fastboot drivers boxs)
Open flashtool, click the lightning logo, select flashmode
Put the firmware file you've downloaded to the firmware folder in flashtool folder.
Connect the phone in flashmode, hold power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, now hold the vol down, plug your phone in the computer with flashtool running, you will now able to flash the firmware.
Good luck man.

Thankyou very much for your reply!! Thats what I need, a step by step muppets guide!
To be honest I couldn't care less about any data, I'm way past that stage - if I can just have the phone working again I would be a very happy man (I'm fairly desperate as you can probably tell, Im running my business from an ancient, failing HTC desire following weeks of the shop having the sony!). I can't really afford to write off a phone I paid good money for 6 months back so need to have a go myself.
I am collecting the phone today so will give that a go.....
So I had a go at the above - got the flash tool installed (Emma?) etc and managed to get the software to see the phone - unfortunately though I had neglected to mention the phone is locked to a particular network, which Emma politely informs me.
So, I have attempted to follow unlocking instructions as per the sony instructions (on their website):
But I am stuck. I was getting nothing when using the volume down button and connecting. To get the computer to see the phone I have to press and hold the power button, the red led starts blinking 3 times, repeatedly. This causes windows to recognise the phone when plugged in via usb, but I was not being asked for drivers (as per sony step 13). I found the device in device manager and uninstalled drivers in an attempt to force this. Now all that happens is the device appears in the list as 'S1 Boot Load' with a yellow exclamation mark. However I have then tried installing drivers manually from the location where I copied 'android_winusb' to, but this does not work.
To compound the issue I think the battery problem is causing the phone to cycle. when connected the green led lights up for a bit, but then goes off, then back on, then red.....repeatedly. The device only appears in device manager as 'S1 boot load' when green. This gives a very short window to try to do anything.

I've been dealing with a similar problem. When connected to a wall charger is your phone cycling from Green to Red and keeps doing that? Also have you installed Sony PC Companion maybe your phone will get recognized from the drivers in that install.
Same problem
Hi, I am currently having the same problem. I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing i'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!

Is it getting red led when I try to charge it ? I don't understand what went wrong.
I had it for about 24 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "mobile".

as I said in the other thread, turn on usb debugging
if you cant do anything and powering on or connecting your phone to computer or charging it just makes the red led blink, it means its hard bricked. you may need to use test point
but if you dont have baseband and your device runs, try to flash a new modem(i dont know if its available for z1 or not)
and as i see you were trying to flash a much old ftf ... after 4.3 , flashing older than them will make the modem not work.so if you can get in to flash mode try to flash a newer frameware

Open Flash Tools, select FTF and wait till it says connect your phone. Now hold down volume and plug in USB to PC
If continued, be happy
If not, unplug fully, and then again hold down volume, and then a bit plug in, like image in the link below

Next time do not be so fast and lazy to read instructions provided by developer of the thing you have flashed. Being fast and thinking wrong and fast sometimes produce fatal thing to the your phone. I am sure you will be no lazy next time and I am sure you will be very careful in operations with your next phone
Whats happening when you press and hold for about 5 secconds power + volumeup button? If you see vibration than you are not in hard brick! If there is no vibration but your phone flashing red all time than its hard brick! If not hard brick you can enter into fastboot mode: disconnect usb cable, press and hold power+volume up until you see vibration, than hold volume up button and in same time connect usb cable. After than you must see blue led! If no blue led than probably try to replace usb drivers by installing sony pc companion, reboot computer after that! Allso make sure comuter device manager detect your phone propertly! After that try again all steps. If this not help and you have red light all time than probably your phone is dead! Hope this help.
Hi Team,

These errors usually caused by no drivers. Install drivers first just to make sure. Go to Flashtool's Intall Dir\drivers and run the installer. Choose flashmode and fastboot. Scroll down a bit and choose Common drivers for Viskan board. Finish the installation.
You also need to flash when your phone is in its power down state. Did you do that? You can press the yellow button under the back cover using a pen, long enough, and release when 3 vibrations are completed.
hi mate and thanks for your respond.
I flash the latest ftf file and my phone opened normally.
I let it recharge for 2 hours and when i tried to open it again it showed me blue screen lol .
THe funny thing is that when i finished the flashing, the phoned opened normally lmao ... how can that happen now :/
Ill try what you said to me right now, i hope it works
Ok, i tried what you said but i guess my phone has no battery.
I recharge it now but i dont know if its recharging or not :/
I cant see the icon or the red bar that indicates that the phone is recharging.
How do i know if its recharging or no?

Lol were your phone ran out of battery before flashing or while flashing?
Well you can leave it to charge say like 12 hours and try again.

Sorry I am as well not a professional. Also, I am not using a stock ROM to identify the proper line in build.prop.
But my best bet here is that you flashed a C5302 ROM that may have somehow changed the model of your XSP. I recommend flashing a proper C5303 ftf. If you aware, you can find the stock FTFs here
