If you created a backup which you should have, just restore it.

Try using flashtool to flash the original firmware.
Check if holding the vol - works.
If it does. Then you dont have to worry. Your device will be fine.

Try googling for the .ftf file for your Xperia Z. Then you can flash the firmware with flashtool & I think.u should do it before your battery is gone...
Cause after flashing ftf it takes almost 3-4 minutes to boot.
Press thnx if I helped.

the files you can download inside.BUT something you should be aware~
1.this two file (Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img and Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img)
should put it in the same of adb.exe file (c:\xxx\sdk\platform-tools\)
2.IF you don't know how to connect devices in fastboot mode in step 6 (following by the website i gave)
you should wait after flashing CF-Auto-root and reboot about once , plugin your usb and press VOLUME UP key TOGETHER
in that time ,you should see a blue led light on your devices.
I'd try that just disconnect and hard power off ,and plugin usb normally ,you will be fail to enter fastboot mode.
So my solution of solving boot loop after flashing CF-auto-root ,is PRESS and HOLD VOLUME UP key WHILE plugin your usb.
i did a big and long time reseach that teaching how to root xperia z ,all haven't point out that the method of entering fastboot mode
maybe they use another way to enter anyway my devices is running normal now and rooted
Hope these can help you :laugh: and

Thanks. I will try again later.
Anyway, I am running on Windows 8 and I'm not sure if it could be one of the issues I've faced.
I installed both the Flashtool abd Fastboot drivers and it was ok except for the Google driver which it said was not installed.
I checked the Adroid SDK by running the SDK pgm and it tells me I have Google Drivers (version 7) already installed.
So it should be ok, rite??

Tried but still cant detect my phone......it just stays at BLUE LED (volume up) and PC still cant detect phone.
When I pressed volume down, there is no light.
When I press the power button, it starts to boot-loop
Btw, which drivers are you using and where did you guys get your drivers from?
I am downloaded the Android SDK drivers with Google USB drivers Rev 7.

[Q] XZ won't pass "Device connected in flash mode" in SE Xperia Flasher

Hello,
I have some problems trying to flash my XZ. I'm using Xperia Flashing Tool 0.9.10.2 beta6 on Windows 8 x64 and whenever I try to flash my XZ flashing tool "gets stuck at "Device connected in flash mode" message after which it gets reconnected and if I try again same thing will happen.
So my question is, am I doing something wrong and if so, please advise.

thats better you now have a ADB device installed, you should now be able to put your phone into flashmode
power off your phone with usb diconnected, hold vol down and reconnect turned off phone to usb and you should now get green led and flashtool will say device connected in flashmode but you only have about a min in flashmode before phone reboots

Thank you for your help and effort but even now it keeps disconnecting device. I don't know where the problem is, maybe I'm not doing something as I should.
This is the procedure I was trying:
1) I select Flash device in flash tool
2) I select Flashmode mode
3) I choose which firmware to flash and click Flash so flash tool can start it's magic
4) When flash tool shows message that I can remove my device from USB and turn it off I do so
5) I also press volume down and reconnect the device with the PC.
6) Problem happens here

what about if flashtool isnt ready to flash file, does flashtool pick it up (4 and 5)
it will say device connected in flashmode with green led

Yeah, it does pick it up and displays a message "Device connected in flash mode" and after awhile "Device disconnected".

[Q] Xperia T stuck at device encryption failed

Hello everyone!
My Xperia T LT30P is stuck at "device encrytion failed please reset" everytime I turn it on. The "Reset Device" button on this screen doesn't do anything when tapped.
I tried to flash 7.0.A-Global firmware via Flashtool but it always gets stuck here at 0%:
21/009/2013 12:09:46 - INFO - Loader : S1_Root_7054 - Version : R5F001 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE
Is there anything else I should try?
Thanks a lot for reading.

flash a latest version of JB,
or better yet, install PCCompanion (Just google it) and repair your phone that way

did you try Phone Repair option in PC Companion?

Thanks for your replies.
I have also tried LT30p_9.1.A.1.140_CE_Skyfall.ftf but same result. I have also tried different versions of flashtool.
PC Companion can't detect my phone. I have tried 2 different computers and each one is stuck on install MTP drivers. I guess unless the drivers are installed, PC companion won't detect it.
I have also tried connecting the phone in flash mode but PC companion asks to restart the phone in normal mode.

run the driver.exe file in the flashtool installation folder.
choose fastboot, flashmode and tx drivers
try again with pccompanion

PC companion still can't detect the phone. I have installed/re-installed all the drivers you mentioned.
As Flashtool isn't able to flash the .ftf firmware to the phone, is there any other firmware available that can be flashed via fastboot?

No.
Try downloading Sony's EMMA program and repairing with that

Seems like EMMA only works with unlocked bootloaders. And my Xperia T can't be unlocked as USB debugging is off and there is no way I can turn it back on.

Errm i mean that my phone doesn't stay in flashmode long enough for me to install the drivers into the phone

Well if you have done everything right with flashtool's installation, then you're doing something wrong while flashing.
If you want to flash a new firmware into your phone you must plug-in your device in "normal" mode (not flash mode), then:
1) Execute flashtool
2) select the "flash device" icon
3) select "flashmode" option, click "OK"
4) select firmware you want to flash (make sure which options you want to be checked/unchecked)
5) click on "flash" button
This is when Flastool will ask you to
->Unplug device
->Power off
->Press Vol- button and connect while pressing (this is flash mode)
Give it a try, also read a little bit about Flashtool procedures.
Cheers

Xperia SP almost dead after flashing. Need help.

I flashed my Xperia SP with from Jellybeam to CM13 rom. I didn't create any backup, wiped clean everything including cache using twrp recovery. While the setup installed CM13 without any error but I downloaded the wrong gapps and the setup didn't accept those. So I chose to reboot the cell and since then it just stopped responding. Although it is showing the green led while plugged in via USB, it won't start in neither fastboot nor recovery mode.
I'm stuck here and have no idea what to do.
I tried installing PC companion, flashtools, SP flashtools, emma, everything. None of these detect my cell. I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit) and am at a dead end.
Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:
I managed to flash it with errors and now it's stuck in a SONY logo bootloop. Its starts, shows SONY logo for a while and then turns off again. Again it's not getting recognised by any flash tool, sony companion etc.
Help please.

Whether I try to flash it or unlock, phone boots up before the process is completed. I'm completely stumped here.

Hi! Still have the problem? I faced the same two days ago when I tried to change the on on my SP. But finally I could save the Phone by searching a bit on the net. Pls tell me if matter is still on and I try to translate the steps to english.

Hey!
Sad to hear, but maybe (I hope) this method will help you. Basically what you will get is an original Xperia SP with 4.1 android as it came from the factory.
You will need:
1. Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" version 0.9.18.6. Don't know if newer version came or better. You can find it here in forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
2. The basic ROM "12.0.A.2.254".
The method that helped me:
SP turned off. Cable not connected.
Start Sony Mobile Flasher (Flashtool) , give administrator rights.
Top left cornet click on the bolt and choose flashmode, then in firmware selector you can find and select the downloaded ROMs and kernels. Choose the official 4.1 (12.0.A.2.254). Click falsh so it starts to proceed.
Then a windows appears called "wait for flashmode".
Now. Grab your turned off SP press volume down and connect the usb to pc. Keep holding volume down button till flashtool starts to upload the system. (Hopefully it will be fast enough, and phone will not turn on. For me it was)
After flashtool is finished you will see:
09:50:53 - INFO - Flashing finished.
09:50:53 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
09:50:53 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
09:50:54 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
Unplug and start the SP
If everything went as planned you have your phone back with stock 4.1 and 12.0.A.2.254 kernel.

Thanks a lot brother. At first it didn't work when I flashed it with the latest version of Flasher. Then I installed the exact version you mentioned (0.9.18.6) and phone didn't boot during the flashing and now it's back to normal with the default 4.1 stock.
Thanks a bunch, you're a life saver for me. :highfive:
