Hi
I rooted my xperia and used titanium backup to restore some system data what did unfortunately not work. Now the phone shows the Pin-Dialog for about two seconds and then restarts.
How can I fix that?
Anybody has an idea?
Is there a kex combination to wipe the data-partition?
I did only root the rom and saved the TA-Partition.
I did not unlock the bootloader!
Power and volume up together until it vibrates
then flash stock or restore a working backup
try repair from pc companion or update service or try flashtool..
Hi,
I reflashed the device now.
Unfortunately now PlayStation Mobile is missing
How can I restore it? Is that App installable from anywhere?
Aaah I'm just stupid Never had a PlayStation Certified device before. I found it online at playstation store.
have you looked on the play store?

Are you using Sony PC Companion?
If you want to backup your apps and their data as well, then you'll need to make a backup with the 'Backup and restore' app on your phone too, because PC Companion can only backup /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1, not /data.
Note: this app cannot restore paid apps, so you need to reinstall those first from Google Play and then restore your backup to restore their /data.
Hey everyone,
I've been eyeing this forum ever since I got my XZ, two months ago. I decided to root a few days ago (that Kingo one click program) and tried to improve my phone a bit everyday.
Today, I tried to hide the navbar by adding that line at the bottom of build.prop. I edited the file with QuikOffice but when I wanted to save, I couldn't simply replace the one there so I saved it somewhere else and copy/pasted it in place of the old one. I shut down the phone and when I tried to turn it on again : bootloop. I don't know how an extra line could mess the phone this much but I'm wondering if I haven't modified some other line without knowing it.
I read that using flashtool was an option so I downloaded an installed SEUS and then Flashtool (EMMA). I connected the phone following the instructions (volume down button) but I got a "Locked phone error". I haven't done much after rooting, especially not setting up a recovery or unlocking the bootloader.
Can anyone guide me through this ? I read things about using an update.zip file but have no idea how that works. I also don't have access to the original build.prop. I've also read people who espaced a bootloop without losing data. But the "locked phone" part doesn't seem to be common. As for the Sony Update Service, it just tells me that the phone already has the last "software version" and that's it.
Thanks.
hm, can you download sony pc companion and try? I used it yesterday and there is a service tab where you can fix and download updates etc. Maybe there is a reinstall firmware or some such

Thank but PC Companion offered to repair the device but at the cost of all data.
I was able to solve the issue and keep my data by flashing a stock ROM using the actual Flashtool and not Emma. I'm not running CM10.2 and everything is looking great .
my friend have rooted my Xperia sp , but after rooted i feels something wrong with my screen ( like insufficiency battery,screen brightness go down and up ), when i want to find my friend he already go military army and i don't know how to un-root back. When i watch utube tutorial about unroot xperia phone , it seem not working.Before my friend root my phone ,he told me to keep (blob_fs)<-i have no ideal what is this and he told me to use Pc companion and flashtools, and if i root my phone my warranty will spoil can't be claim.
If un-root my phone do my warranty still working ? if it does, i need to claim my warranty vry soon....bcz my phone have abit trouble with internal memory.
Use FlashTool to flash a stock ftf file, that will bring you back to stock and unroot if you want to relock boot loader you need to have a backup of ta partition without the backup no relocking!

Easy method to Unroot Sony Xperia SP & Restore original firmware
Easy method to Unroot Sony Xperia SP & Restore original firmware
I rooted my Sony Xperia SP smartphone and I wanted to unroot the phone and remove Superuser. The phone had a Chinese Superuser after I followed instructions on a YouTube video: "How to Root Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (Universal Method)"
I tried to flash the phone with the latest firmware (currently 12.0.A.2.254). I found software to flash the phone (Flashtool), but I could not find the drivers required by the program FlashTool. (No need to do this).
Sony has software (Emma) to flash xperia phones, but the Sony Xperia SP is not supported.
The above methods were NOT necessary for me to unroot my Xperia SP phone.
I used the following method:
1. This step may not be necessary. You can probably just go to step 2
1.1 Delete all data on SD card: On Phone go to Settings, Storage, Erase SD card.
1.2 Reset the phone: On the Xperia: Settings + (Under Personal) Backup & Reset.
2. USE SONY PC COMPANION TO REPAIR PHONE :good:
2.1 Install Sony PC Companion.
( This software loads automatically on your PC when you connect your phone to a PC. This software is used to upgrade the software on the phone. The phone promps to install this software when it is connected to a PC.)
2.2 I did not make any changes to any settings on the phone after the reset done in step 1. No need to make any changes of any settings on phone.
2.3 Connect the phone with USB cable to PC, and wait for PC companion to show its connected to phone.
2.4 On SONY PC COMPANION, just go to SUPPORT ZONE, and click on START
Under the heading PHONE TABLET SOFTWARE UPDATE, click on START and follow the instructions.
2.5 Software downloads and reinstall the latest software for the phone.
2.6 Disconnect phone from PC when prompted.
3. IT took me about 10 minutes to UNROOT the phone.
4. I downloaded Root Checker Basic from the Android App store. I received the info, Sorry! This device does not have proper root access.
5. (Chinese) Super user (blue shield) application is deleted.
I hope this will help. It's a very quick, easy and effective solution to unroot Sony Xperia SP (C5303).
I believe you can use this method with other Sony Xperia phones supported by the Sony PC companion software.

I updated and posted my reply in this new post:
Unroot Sony Xperia SP (C5303) & Remove Superuser. Restore original firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48945879
I also noted the following error: "Android Store" should be "Google Play"
I also tried to use unroot apps from Google Play, but it didn't work. Sony PC companion did the trick.
You shall have SuperSU app and in settings there is an option called "complete unroot" (or similar)
Maybe try that : P

Backup your personal data and repair it with Pc Companion or flash a .ftf file with flashtool.

You can find the drivers in flashtool\drivers. Make sure to wipe internal storage when flashing. It should prevent you from app related errors
Hi, i have seen many forums regarding this error, so I will post what i have tried already. Problem only on rear camera.
I did clean cache and restarted.
Reinstalled camera app/other camera apps from the store.
Started in safe mode.
Ran xperia diagnostics/service test. Camera didnt start.
As far as i can remember it happened shortly after installing avatar rom. I kept getting constant crashes so i decided to flash stock again, everything works fine but the camera.
Right now i am on 4.4.4, with the "C6602_10.5.1.A.0.283_Customized_US" firmware. Rooted using towelroot, but the problem existed before and remains after rooting.
I have been uninstalling/disabling some sistem apps through Titanium Backup , so I would say i mistakenly deleted some important system app. Can anyone share the process/apps needed to use camera? so i cant install all of them again.
Can it be the firmware? should i try a different one? I would like to fix it without having to wipe, but if it must be I will just restart from scratch.
Thanks for the assistance, feeling sort of lost on this one.

Try with clean install. Repair it via PC Companion or reflash it via Flashtool. If still doesn't work it's probably hw problem.
ok, i tryed reflashing a couple of times, the error is still there. It doesnt seem likely that its a hardware issue. Is it possible to reinstall the files necessary for using the camera?
One other thing, i cant use pc companion repair because it says my software is modified, if i relock bootloader can i use it?

Yes, you can use it with locked bl, but you don't need to do that, find .ftf ROM for your region and model or any other you like and do a clean flash via Flashtool, if still not working it's hw issue, you need new camera module.

i just reflashed 2 different roms for my phone and version. Relocked and repaired via pc companion. And nothing worked, i assume its hw damage then.
Does it happen when the phone suffers a hit? or is there another explanation?. Cant figure out how it happened.
Thank you for all your help.

Hi, kennycol
Can you tell me if it is hardware problem?
I met the same problem
After revive my C6833, the camera can't work. Firstly，the front camera is OK，but not a long time, it also can't work.
After I flashed other rom using flashtool, two camera both can not work.
when I use camera , phone shows "unfortunately, the camera stopped"
press *#*#7378423#*#*
