my xperia t dead need help!T_T

hi! i've bought my xperia t today
it goes well! i've connect it to my pc, and pc companion find an update and ask me if i want to update my phone
i said yes, and it tried to install the upgrade, but about the 75% it gives me an error
and from this moment the screen of my phone turns on and off every 5seconds
with a black screen with the white sony's logo and the pc doesn't recognize him and no led turns on
after about 2hours the phone turns totaly off
i've tried to turn on with the power button and the volume down hold
and the red led flashes for 3 times
if i hold down the buttons while connecting to the usb or to the charger,
the red light stays on and after about 15min it turns in to green and a black screen with sony's logo appears for about 20 minutes
but no leds are on and if i plug it to the pc or to the charger nothing happens
sometimes if i hold down the 2 buttons when i plug it to the pc the led turns on green and the SUS recognize it
and tries to upgrade system but after a few minutes the phone seems to turn off and the upgrade fails
what i have to do? probably the phone needs to be charged before being upgraded
but if i plug it (at the pc or even at the charger) with the 2 buttons holded down the red led turns on but after 15min it turns green and the sony screen appears and freeze
if i plug it without holding down the buttons no leds turns on and i'm not sure if it's really charging or not...
any sugestion? thanks

1. Have you rooted?
1a. Have you unlocked bootlaoder.
1b. What ROM where you on before the problem started?
2. What was the last thing you did to the phone before the problem started?

But why did you try to upgrade a phone out of the box?
Oh well... My suggestion is to take it back to the shop. Tell them you bought it, connected to PC, followed the prompts to install PCCompanion and then it faulted.
Soon, we will get stock .ftf's posted here that you will be able to flash in flashtool, but that sounds like a bad phone. If the fault was staright from the box, take it back.

OK, but if there is a problem with the phone, no amount of flashing will repair a bad board or a bad chip....
I will post a stock vodafone UK .ftf here this weekend, then you should be able to flash that (Using flashtool, first post in the dev section) to repair your phone. But i do advise that if your phone id faulty from the box, its a hardware issue not software..

You need to turn on usb debugging. It's under settings/developer options. Should work after that. Good luck!

obviusly i can't turn in debug mode as the phone don't turns on!
after a night plugged to the charger (no leds on)
today the phone don't do nothing...
no flashing red led when i press any button or any sequence
only turn the red led when i hold down the 2 buttons and plug the usb or the charger
but when i release them all turns off....

Have you tried a factory reset? You should be able to do it via Android stock recovery and that might rollback the corrupt upgrade.
Worth a try.

first i need to discover what you're talking about...

I will describe what programs showing because i have polish version and maybe you can't understand them:
When i'm trying to connect to pc companion when pc recognise phone i'm geting message PC companion could not connect with device disconnect device and try again
When trying do sof/hard reset nothing happens
When trying to pull in fastboot or flash mode pc recognise phone always the same in conrtol panel ZEUS FLASH device pc also recognise in thisa mode without battery and without pushing any buttons but i'm not geting any led Green or blue only when i'm conecting charger or usb cable WITHOUT battery it blinks red ones
When i'm trying to flash with flashtool or original update service when program is on screen asking me to connect the device i plug usb pc recognising the phone (usb connected device sound) but program doesn't start to flash or even recognise
i have also setool when i'm trying to flash by setool when program is waiting for device connecting bar is moving on down side of window when i connect the phone it is stoping like it tries to connect but nothing happens....
i was thinking to try this but i have cheked battery voltage and it is 3,88 so i thing it is fully charged:
Here are the steps I took successfully revise my phone from soft brick.
Let the phone charge (long long time = 4+ hrs) on wall charger.
Red light on (constantly - not flashing) - charge until red light off (again very long time =16+ hrs)
Unplug from wall
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode
While hold volumn down and plug in USB
Red light will be back on, after a few seconds - flash will run.
Unplug USB then power on - phone will boot and die (it's okay don't worry)
Charge the phone again - after a while (or let it charge full), you can now turn on the phone.
That is all ... Back and running.
GOOD Luck.
Timing = could be different from phone to phone - depends on battery of the phone before it dead.
please do you have any idea? for me it hangs in some kind of boot mode and i don't know how to kick it fromthis and reflash if any screens can help please tell me i will do them

I forgot to add when i'm doing test point to unlock for example ARC it is also recognised as ZEUS Flash so i thing it stays in some king of boot mode but there is no information in the net how to kick it out or even do jtag because i can doit also but i think it is not supported yet

You have an xperia T, then how can you connect the phone to the PC WITHOUT a battery? It is not removable in the Xperia T!
Have you flashed anything to the device before this happened?
EDIT
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode

OK,
Yes thats true but it sounds similar to a problem I have come across before. But this happened when someone flashed the S1 update on the TX instead of the T.
Have you unistalled evrything android/sdk/adb related from your computer and started again.
Also, you can try another machine.
Are you on win8? That has issues with drivers from Sony.

I dont know where testpoint is on xperia T as we have never been down that road here.
Has he tried to use EMMA to flash something? That is meant only for unlocked bootloaders, maybe he has messed up with that, but I am onl guessing here and i cant really see why that would do anything to the boot...
Maybe he tried to flash it, dropped it, broke it, and thinks a software hack can help him....

[Q] Xperia T - won't go past sony start sreen

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:

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!

[Q] Xperia T LT30at is stuck at Sony screen.[SOLVED]

The problem.
When I boot the device it just stays at the Sony screen and does not progress any further. I am still able to turn off the device by holding the power button and the volume up button, I can reset it by holding the button longer waiting for the vibration, and I can hard reset by waiting till the three vibrations.
What I was doing up to the point it happened.
I was trying to get a custom ROM on my device, I had it previously rooted so I thought I would go further. I installed CWM on my phone I wiped data, cache, and dalvick then I went to install the ROM from SD card. During the attempt at installation I got some symlink errors with a status of 7. Not sure what to do turned off the device when I decided to put back its previous I turned it back on and arrived at the problem.
What I have done to try and fix it.
I have done the soft and hard resets, I tried using the PC companions repair tool. When it asks me to turn the device off hold down the power button then plug in the device nothing happens(I have tried this several times.) I downloaded the flashtool and the correct ftf and tried using that, but it doesn't detect my device when I hold down the volume button and plug it in. So it seems that the flashboot is not working on my phone.
Any suggestions on what to try would be much appreciated and thanks in advanced.

You probably didn't install the ADB drivers. Install them from the Flashtool folder (use the ones for TX) and then try flashing your stock FTF again. Remember to put the device into Flashmode.
Basically what happened was that while flashing your ROM the script that flashes everything deletes everything from the /system partition, then you got an error and the installation was incomplete, therefore there is no proper system to boot into. You could have easily avoided what happened by flashing a different ROM had you not powered off.

Thank you for response, I went and used the Flashtool-driver.exe and installed the Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers and the TX drivers. But it does not seem to have changed anything. To enter flash mode on the phone one has to hold down the volume down button while plugging the phone into the usb when it is powered off, right? Flash tool just sits at the instruction animation titled Wait for Flashmode. When I try to enter flashmode I do not get a response from either the program or the phone. Any more suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you for taking the time to help.

Yes, that is how you enter flashmode. Turn off phone, and keep volume down button pressed while you connect the USB cable; the LED light should turn on with a green light. If you're phone is not entering Flashmode, then you might have a faulty USB cable, or there might be problems with your USB ports, either on your computer or your phone (try with different cables/computers).
Also, check your Device Manager (while phone is connected) to make sure the drivers are properly installed. If you have Windows 8, you should have had to turn of Driver Signature Checking in order for the drivers to install properly.

Yeah I turned off the Driver signature checking on my computer when I did it. I'll go buy a new cable and try a friends windows 7 computer. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the USB port in my phone. Thank you for your help I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you everybody for your support. My phone is now working. After my phones battery died I was able to get it charging, when it had enough energy it booted itself to the Sony screen so I turned it off and grabbed my new micro USB cable and was able to get it into flash mode. Everything is now working great. I wish a special thanks to Antiga Prime for taking the time to help me.

Hardd Bricked Xperia Z1 Honami

I INstalled a custom rom with Unlocked bootloader and after it was finished it just stuck in black screen... nothing happens the only thing happens is when i press power button and volume up vibrates and then nothing... no led's no charging nothing... please help

Is it detected with Flashtool?

@lexykon : i think since ur device responds, its not a total hardbrick. Flashing an FTF using flashtool should help

no it says no device connected

You have to push Hard reset button (red button just near the SIM card) until phone vibrates 3 times. Then you push volume down button and then connect PC microUSB cable into the correct connector on your Z1.
Flashtool should see your phone. Then you can flash with flashtool back to your previous (stock ?) ROM.

Strange. Did you connect the usb cable to your phone AND maintain volume down button?
Because USB debugging OFF is only when your phone has started Android. When in Flashmode Android is not started.
So after pushing red hard power off button and phone vibrates 3times (it's important it vibrates 3 times) :
- close and restart Flashtool on your computer,
- choose Flash button (strike icon), choose the FTF of the stock firmware then validate and then check 'Flashmode' then OK, it will work few seconds and bring you a new screen explaining you how to get into flash mode with a phone and cable in a Window,
- take your USB cable in left hand,
- push down volume button with your right hand
- connect your cable in micro USB port AND maintain volume down for a few seconds
I decomposed the steps because it is important not to wait too long when connecting cable onto your device and launching Flashtool (that's why I prefer to launch it before, as described above), because if the phone detects current in its usb port, it starts system. It is important to be ready and having Flashtool launched BEFORE plugging the cable.
Send the results.

That's quite wierd. The fact that phone's LED becomes red is a good sign, i.e. going to flashmode.
IS it Flashtool saying the phone is in USB debugging ? If not, you can then flash after the LED ran red with flashtool.
Flashtool may say it's USB debugging OFF if Android is booted.
If in flashmode, Flashtool should say :
03/043/2015 15:43:18 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
And then you can flash...

Thats my flashtool ;/

Have you tried fastboot? Volume up while plugging cable.
Perhaps you can flash a boot.img from there and use recovery at least.
This is what happens to my phone when the kernel fails to flash, usually after restoring a nandroid.

Ok you shouldn't have that in your flashtool log.
Without the phone connected to the PC, you should have the following message, especially "Please connect your device into flashmode" :
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903). FW release : 14.4.A.0.108. Customization : Generic FR 1276-5833_R5C
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
03/050/2015 16:50:49 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
From my point of view, it doesn't seem your phone is powered off.
Then to Power Off hard press the red button near sim card, just above the chrome power button until phone vibrates 3 times :

Then do the steps I gave you before.

Ok dude. Sorry but I can't help you anymore. Maybe advanced developpers could. My knowledge on flashing Z1 is 2 days old only
FYI, my LED is blinking 1 time red and 1 time green very quickly when I power on my Z1 in flashmode. Nothing on screen, but Flashtool detects my device in Flashmode.
Maybe, as proposed by markuz85, you should try Fastboot mode (volume up instead of volume down)... but I never tried this and I won't be helpful on that.
Good luck and tell us if you have got something.

I went to Sony and played stupid... so they will replace it with my warranty thanks btw guys really appreaciate your help

When I look at your screenshot I think "have you pressed the left button at the flashtool before you connect the device?" only after that you can select the flashmode at this tool.
