Click to collapse
in that case..going to recovery may help u
just check how long ur phone stays in fastboot mode
if it has short span..just go to flashtool
click "fastboot" option (even if ur phone is not in fastboot)
select kernel to flash
locate the stock kernel
don't press open!!!
now connect ur phone in fastboot
and hit open
it should write kernel to ur phone
i had succeeded doing this when i was on wrong kernel!!

Phone bricked

Hey guys.. i think i have bricked my phone
I have the c6602 model and have a unlockable bootloader but left it locked. I have rooted it using goroh_kuns method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
then put CWM for locked bootloaders on it using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
then flashed this stock based kernel ROM through CWM without wiping the old one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903
but now my phone starts up, and reboots automatically, resulting in a loop. I can not go into the CWM recovery anymore because you have to do it through pc everytime while your phone is on.
Personally i think its Superuser from the previous rom and SuperSU from the new rom mixing up and resulting in the loop boot
Can somebody help please..?

Did you try to enter to CWM recovery by pressing volume key while booting to see if the recovery is working
yes it does not work, the led becomes blue after holding power + volume up it vibrates thrice x 2 then i continue volume up and the led turns blue but nothing really happens, i think its the download mode?

If you have the blue led working this means that it has the fastboot mod working - press VOLUME UP + PLUG INTO PC(not power)
try to switch off the device then press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting to pc = flash mod
If you have one of theese working you can always repair your device

[Q] Bricked device, please help

Hello,
I have a problem with my Xperia Z. I was trying to flash boot.img from the PAC-rom right after unlocking my bootloader. I rebooted after unlocking, powered off back to fastboot, but i forgot to turn on usb-debugging (for which i gave myself a lot of facepalms). Then i flashed the boot.img, rebooted in the hope of getting to TWRP-recovery, nut i had to give myself another facepalm. The device is on, at least, the backlight is on, but i have a black screen. Power button does nothing, held it for at least 30 secs but still nothing.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance

Hard power off by pressing Power and Volume up together until the phone vibrates three times.
Download a kernel with recovery, and flash it. Now you will have a kernel, with recovery, no rom, though. I think I never had the need to enable USB debugging. That's on OS level, fastboot is on bootloader level if I'm not mistaken.
Just in case, you enter recovery by pressing volume up after the purple light while phone is booting. After that, you can flash whatever from recovery.
IF you stil have troubles, flash stock using EMMA Flashtool and start over. Read the instructions carefully.
Press power + volume up for 15 seconds till you have 3 vibrations,this will shutdown your phone.
To access to recovery you have to press volume down several times while booting and when you see the led.
You can go back stock using flashtool.

Phone not turning on after kernel flash

So I was on official stock 4.3 ROM with root and unlocked bootloader. I said to myself I have to try the XzKernel-18.5 so I booted in recovery and flashed the zip. Then I rebooted. The phone remained black. I tried to power it on from the button, but it's only vibrating. If I long press the power button, it vibrates once every second or so.
I plugged the USB cable from computer into the phone and the LEC started blinking red. I kept volume up pushed then plugged in the USB and the blue LED appeared so I guess I can go in fastboot. But what should I do? If possible, without loosing data!
Thank you!

Try to get in fastboot and install a boot.img (for example Doomkernel v20) (fastboot Flash boot boot.img). Then you can access CWM or TWRP to flash your backup back.
Fastboot: Turn off phone, Plug in USB an press http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons
Thank you. I solved the problem. I did not knew that restoring TA partiion will relock the bootloader So I had to unlock the bootloader again.

[Q] Xperia SP Boot problem

Hi!
I have a weird problem with my Xperia SP 5303.
I managed to install fxp custom rom (FXP347-cm-11-20141122-UNOFFICIAL-huashan.zip) and it was working until I used Backup-TA to restore my DRM keys (I did the backup before unlocking bootloader).
After restore (it said it was successfull) then my phone restarted and never completed the boot again.
When I hold the power button, a green light flashes briefly, the phone vibrates and nothing else happens.
Reading other posts about this problem, I tried:
- Holding power and volume up (blue light flashes briefly and nothing else);
- Holding power and volume down (green light flashes briefly and nothing else);
Apparently, if I plug the usb cable I can get to flash mode or fastboot mode. But I don't know what to do.
I already tried to to shutdown through the "Off" button near the battery. Nothing happens.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Forget it. I managed to fix it using Flashtool and stock rom in flash mode.
This thread can be closed.
The core reason of why your phone was bricked is that you restores the TA backup on a custom ROM! You should only restore such backup on a stock ROM

Hi!
Yeah, I didn't realize it at that moment. It's my first customization on a Sony device and I thought I should restore the TA backup no matter what.
Fortunately I had Flashmode and Fastboot mode working so I could undo my mistake.
Thanks anyway. I have my FXP 4.4.4 running butter smooth. Much better than stock slow bloated ROM.

Help bricked device

done something stupid, I made a full wipe then restarted the system..now my computer is not seeing my phone, lost recovery, bootloader (I think) and I am stucked on the bootscreen

Turn off by pressing power + volume.up until the phone vibrates three times.
Then flash any stock rom with Flashtool. Take a look at the general section...
It worked! Thanks bro
