Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?
Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Sorry,
Rooted
Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific
Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool
Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work
Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device
Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up
run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..
Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer
what computer do you have?
Windows 8?
Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?
seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers
Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening
Try another computer

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here in xda,
I have a problem with my xperia T, it boot loops (starts up by showing the manufacturer logo, then shuts down, then starts up again)
and i didnt unlock my bootloader, and i didnt install CWM, no backups either
I only rooted the phone for the sake of chainfire, and when i installed it, it asked me to restart the phone and from there on the problem started.
I tried fastboot mode, but after 3-4 secs, the blue light disappears and the phone starts boot looping again,
I need help from you guys,
thanks y'all in advance

How do i do that? Sorry, im a newbie..
I think the pc companion cannot restore my phone since it cant recognize it. It starts up, then it shuts down after 3-4 secs
Also i dont see a back up and restore menu on my pc companion,

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts
you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

pc does not recognize my phone its just zeus flash device nothing else ...
i have tried almost everything.
Before posting that I'm idiot and I should have searched for the solution myself I want to say that there was no actual solution to my problem!
A month ago I decided to install CyanogenMod 10.2 because of more camera options so I backed up my TA partition, then unlocked my bootloader and installed CyanogenMod 10.2 that was perfect for me, but as official 4.3 is going to be released I decided to migrate to stock android and ran into a problem, I downloaded many FTF's for my C6602, downloaded new flashtool also all drivers are perfectly installed but when it came to loading phone into flashmode it refused to do so, I'm holding Volume down button and connecting USB into the main USB port on the PC, first I see red LED then suddenly it changes to GREEN for about half a sec and then turns off, as for Fastboot mode it works perfect I even tried flashing different kernel but it did not help, I also tried and successfully installed Android 4.4 KitKat OmniRom without problems but I still can't get into the flashmode, also I was unable to use EMMA because I did not receive confirmation e-mail. Please help... Thanks in advance.
I managed to reflash to stock .67 firmware with new flashtool but the led was not green during the installation it was off but it still got flashed, now when I reflashed my phone, I rooted it and restored my TA partition , so now I want repair it with SEUS but the problem still exists phone wont go into flashmode !!!!
Once green led goes of and screen is black, you ARE in flashmode
Make sure flashtool prepares files BEFORE pressing volume down and plugging usb cord in.
There is no persistent led or visible screen in flashmode.

Yea you were correct for some reason when I started updating phone with SEUS it just restarted and started update, so it seems that it really was in flash mode, but what's wrong with the led? It was always on once in flashmode ...
Forget SUES. Just flash a stock FTF for your region. Sony won't know the difference. There's plenty out there. Which one do you want?
Edit; In flashmode, Led stays on until flashing starts then it turns off while system is being flashed.. In the case of PC companion or SUS, it will take considerably longer while files are downloaded, but with flashtool, the files are already in place, so it goes off almost instantaneously

Thanks again, no I just wanted to get BE back Thanks to guy who invented TA partition backup : )

That's a brilliant tool.
Just be sure to be on stock, rooted, with USB debugging on, and superuser accepting adb shell command while restoring:thumbup:

Just wanted to say I was a bit worried my xz was not in flashmode the first time I flashed un-branded firmware as the led did not stay lit..
When I used to flash my old Arc S the light would remain on until flashing finished...
Thanx for confirming this !!
Different Problem with Flashmode
Can someone please help me, When I unlocked my bootloader (Xperia Z) I didn't use flashtools. I used SE Bootloader Unlocking, this software worked well for my Tipo and S. What happened is that my bootloader got unlocked but my flashmode got corrupted. Fastboot works fine. But when I try to get into Flashmode, the green LED blinks for like a second and nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please Please help me? I can't update my Baseband to go to 4.3.
I wouldn't mind relocking my bootloader to go back to stock, but I need flashmode to this as well!
That's how it works on The Z. Nothing to worry about
Just let flashtool prepare the files , then plug in to pc holding volume down

Hello Friends, I have made a mistake.
I have rooted and flashed my droid 2 and droid 4 phones perhaps 100 times but when it came to my XZ it was not as happy sailing.
I started in a tutorial from unlocker on the method of rooting and installing recovery in a XZ without unlocking the bootloader.
theunlockr.com/2013/07/23/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-z-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-video/
but because I could not find my firmware specified with doomLord I chose kingo for my root, rebooted and everything was happy. I followed the rest of the tutorial to a 't' from the DRM keys to the recovery. Rebooted and everything was good.
This is where I should of spent time unlocking my bootloader
I downloaded pacrom and installed it through TWRP after clearing cash, system, and dalvik I think.
I also installed Gapps
When I tried to reboot it was all I could get was a flashing red light where the text indicator would normally be. My screen does not alter, if I hold down power it will vibrate every 4seconds, if I hold power up and power it will vibrate three times but nothing happens after.
I am able to get into fastboot mode, and the mode that works with emma(i am drawing a blank right now) using the volume rocker and plugging the usb in while holding them. Both apps (emma, and flashtool) recognize there modes.
Simply plugging the phone in will cause it to be seen by the computer but it will just connect and disconnect every minute or so.
In flashboot if I try to Hotboot it will give me a message about the command not being aloud remote.
I feel like if I can get all this to recognize there should be a way to get it back. Does anyone have an idea as to a way to unlock the bootloader or return it to stock using the limited function I have?
Get a stock rom from the general section and use Flashtool (not emma) to flash it to your phone. That is the solution to 90% of the problems people come here to ask about.

Makes sense to me, on my way now. I remember an error happening during flashing something but for the life of me cant remember, we will see what happens.

I have a hard-bricked xperia SP and I have tried everything available on xda to get it into flashmode but no luck.
So, now I am thinking about removing the battery and then try to connect it in flash mode. This worked successfully on xperia E (detachable battery) but I haven't tried it on SP yet. I was hoping if anyone of you could try this and tell me whether SP is getting in flash-mode or flashboot ?

In order to stimulate the phone to "detach" the battery you'll require to press the "off" button at the back of the phone, under the cover; for about 20 seconds.
Are you sure everything? I don't have experience with hard bricks, but I do have a recommendation. Please refer here.
This is the third time I have bricked my device and this time it is different from the previous two times. My phone isn't responding to any hardware combinations, Only red leds. That's why I can't get into fastboot or flash mode.

Red led is due to phone not being charged. Charge the phone for few hours then flash the ftf file

I tried that but phone isn't charging because I have screwed my kernel. It just goes into loops of red led on and off after 10 to 15 minutes.
