Hope this is the right place to post this:
I recently rooted my phone and added a custom ROM only to find my SP hung on the SONY screen.
After much cussing, the following worked.
Connect to a laptop and open the FlashTool
Take the back off your phone and locate the OFF button (more of a little hole)
Hold the vol - and power whilst connected to a laptop with the flashtool open.
Press the off button until the phone connected to flashtool.
Flash your phone with a stock rom.
NB: you may need some one to press the off button for you, with a pen or pencil.

Turn the phone off on the back, Set up flash tool first, select correct ftf file then select flash, at this point flashtool should show picture of how phone and green arrow. Plug usb into phone, then hold volume down and plug usb into pc. Flashtool should then flash ftf. Hope this helps.
Ok fixed thanx,just had to reboot with back button,then hold volume down and when the green light appears I release the volume down button
and it flash the trt file in it
Hi, I sorry to bother anyone, but I need help because my phone is not responding and I don't know what to do.
C6603, rooted, dual recovery installed, bootloader unlocked (I think)
So here's what happened. I very successfully installed the existenz ultimate rom on my phone. It was a wonderful rom and everything was going well. However, I accidentally dropped my phone and needed to send it for repair. Before sending it to the shop, I decided to do a factory reset using the option in recovery mode.
When I got the phone back from the repair shop, I wanted to install the same rom. What I did was download the rom installer and then install the zip file using the recovery mode. I went through the AROMA installer and everything, So I thought everything was going fine. When the phone rebooted, it showed the SONY logo, followed by a permanent black screen. The screen is on, it is just black.
I scoured the xda forums and I tried several things, to no avail:
I cannot enter recovery mode.
My PC cannot recognize my phone.
Flashtool cannot recognize the phone. My phone can't seem to enter flashmode, either.
I tried holding the power button and the vol. up button, and the phone does indeed restart (no vibrations), showing the SONY logo, and then I'm stuck with the black screen again.
I hope somebody can help me!
EDIT: I managed to somehow get flashmode working, so I think my phone is fine now! What a false alarm! In case this ever happens to anyone, what I did was to unplug the phone from any source of charging, then proceed to hold on the power button and vol. up button for REALLY long, I think almost 20 seconds. This managed to switch my phone off (it would keep restarting if I didn't hold in down long enough).
download stock firmware and open flashtool & ready to flash,dont connect until it say.connect your usb cable to ur phone,then reboot ur phone when display goes to black connect ur phone to pc whith pressing vol down ,then flash tool detect ur phone and it flash,sorry foe my bad english
flashed 14.4.B.0.56 successfully. Phone turned on and I was not ready for it to so I held down power and one or both of the volume keys to reset it. Phone vibrated 3 times (i think) and has been stone dead ever since. Cannot go into flashmode or fastboot. PC does not recognize the device. What can be done? Tried sony companion software as well and it couldn't connect to it either. I get no lights on the device at all.
Can you connect your Z1s to the computer and it may say usb device not recognized? If so....
Hold power+volume up for at least a minute (shuts off phone completely), retry to get back into flash mode
Just brought my Z1 back after bricking it.
I was having the problem with the flashmode turning on, then dropping off and quitting right away.
I was able to use flashtool and flash the phone using the standard procedure of pressing the down volume button, and plugging in the USB cable at the same time.
After about 15 times of the flash failing, I tried HOLDING DOWN the down volume button the entire time of the flash. That was the only time it was able to flash successfully for me.
Maybe a fluke? I don't know, but it worked.
Good luck.
Hi
I've flashed (including kernel) my phone (C6903) TrinityVengeanceRaptorXHD_1.3-XperiaZ1 and TrinityVengeanceRaptorXHD-LB_UB-Patch-V1.4 taken from here. Unfortunately after it was done my phone was also done.
There is no reaction on 3 buttons pressed at the same time and i cant get into flashmode or fastboot mode. Holding power button makes a single vibration that is being repeated as long as the PB is being hold.
Can anyone help me bringing it back to life? Can it be done not leaving the room or do i need some special tools or send it to guys that has these?
Regards
Wizzy
Hi
I've managed to rescue it. I'm not sure how i did that os i will put here steps that i've taken. Firstly i could not enter fastboot or flashmode by PButton + Vol UP or Vol Down button. I've opened flash tool and connected phone while holding power down button but after unpacking flash image it prompted to unplug the device and plug it again with volume down button being hold but nothing was happening.
So here are steps:
1. I've connected it to the AC and tired holding different combination of buttons ( to see if the led is working ). VIsualy no response has been noticed.
2. While flash tool was still hanged on prompted dialog i've connected the phone to the PC while holding volume down button.
3. It started flashing process.
Thansk & Regards

Hello my name is Bob and this is my first thread, unfortunately its me asking for help so not really a great start.
Getting to the point however, i installed a 3rd party app which allowed me to change the font of my Sony Xperia Z1 after i did this and it reboot my phone it got stuck in a bootloop.
When i power up my phone i get the following occurences Sony Xperia start screen followed by POWERD BY android and it reboots the phone repeating the process.
My phone is ROOTED, my bootloader is LOCKED, i do not have RECOVERY.
C6903, stock rom
Things i can do with the phone;
Plug it in my laptop and have it show %charged
Plug it in my charger and have it show %charged
Go into fastboot*bluelight* by pressing the volume up button and plugging it into my laptop
Shut it down by pressing the power button + volume up
Go into bootloop by pressing the power button
Edit1: I do not care about wiping all date if necessary or possible!
Edit2: Flashtool, usb debugging off
Edit3: Currently using Sony PC Companion to force re-flash stock
Edit4: Finishing using Sony PC Companion software update, updated to version; 14.6.A.1.236-R2D, currently booting up phone*purple start screen*
Edit5: Phone is working, lost root
Any help would be much appreciated!
Well my opinion always when you root your phone install Recovery
Very important for something like this
*.Font Changer app don't work on Xperia Device (maybe because of Sony company)
If you wanna still want to change fonts there is thread about zip fonts to flash it on your device (it's working great)
And if you got bootloop again just flash rom Through flashtool no need to be USB Debugging on ( just enter flashMod and flash Rom)
And it's good to hear you solved the problem
