[Q] Z1 freezes when flashing to .757 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Urgent. My Sony Z1 had rooted .681 version running fine for weeks. But trouble came today I tried to upgrade to .757. I had the flashable zip on the sd card, Booted into recovery mode then did a wipe and a factory reset. Then in the installation process of .757, the phone reboots to SONY screen and freezes. I could only use Vol Up + Power button to turn it off. It still freezes on the next reboot. It doesn't even vibrate at the start screen, so I cannot enter the XZDualRecovery mode. Please help.

You should follow the instructions in the thread.
You have to flash the srtipped FTF before rebooting. and there is no need for a full wip, you lose all your settings then.
To fix it, just flash a stock FTF and start again (You could try flashing the stripped FTF)

xperia without functional

Hi all,
I have a small problem with my Xperia Z
I've rooted and installed CWM recovery, where everything worked, ran
and problem going on.
but then I wanted to install FXP213, contrary to the intall manual (shame on me), I have elected to install CWM from sdcard, and installed.
The unit was on the date:
- rooted
- Bootloader unlock allowed no
- CWM recovery installed
now it will not boot, when pressing the power button, it vibrates once briefly
when pressing the power button + volume up, it vibrates briefly and then three times in succession
on pc it is not recognized
there's a possibility the unit to reset this or is only the attempt to ask it to send in for warranty?
thanks in advance
greeting Joe
Flash a ftf file with flashtool

[Q] Z1 freezes when booting

The answer will no doubt be to flash a stock FTF using Flashtool. However, this is the Z section, so is the wrong place for your question.

Messed up my SP

So I was about to move from CrystalPA back to the latest FXP CM11 build, i backed things up, went into clockworkmod, did all the needed wipes and was about to flash when I realized I downloaded the honami version instead. So I was downloading the right version but the download took about an hour, i left my phone in CWM while the download was going and by the time it was finished, my phone died. Now I left it on charge overnight so it should have been fully charged but I dont think it did much charging. I got to being able to switch it on and seeing the sony logo but because I'd already done all the wipes (system, data, cache, dalvik) it couldnt boot. I then used the button on the back to switch off and tried to enter recovery by holding vol + when i switched on, then i tried vol -, then i tried the camera button. Nothing happened, just sony logo then a black screen. After a few attempts, the phone is now flashing red when I try to turn it on, and when I plug it into charge, its just a constant red light (brighter than normal charge light).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to revive my phone?
Thanks
Did you try to push vol -/+ buttons a few times instead of holding them?

I didnt, and i cant now because its just doing red lights only, Ive managed to get it into flashmode so im going to just restore it back to full factory with flashtool and just start again. Hope it works, the flashtool log is saying "device: unknown"
Edit: So the flashing worked, got back to 254 firmware with the old FTF file I still had, I then had to make my own 205 firmware FTF with XperiaFirm and Flashtool, I then flashed the new 205 firmware because Sony PC Companion wouldn't update my phone as its unlocked (i think?). Now all I have to do is install CWM, root and then get CM reinstalled.
I warn everyone - do not leave your phone in recovery when its running low on battery! youll have to start from square 1 if it dies!
Don't need to reflash ftf, just extract boot.img from cm zip and flash on flashtool, then just enter recovery and install cm
Use Lucas's method in the future.
Flashing a recovery-ready kernel is easier you know Anyhow, glad to know your SP worked again.

[Q] [SOLVED]Cant access recovery

Hi!
I just update to lollipop 23.1.A.0.726 using pc suite, now i want to have root access but i can get in to recovery, the led indicator never turns on, the phone works with no problems so the led indicator, what should i do?
cheers!
Recovery mode/Hard reset option
I have same problem. I don't have custom recovery but what Im trying to do is hard reset.
I am waiting for the LED to appear before pressing volume UP. After several attempts I gave up waiting for the LED and pressed (many times) the up button soon as I feel the vibration after pressing power on.
no luck. I don't get the option to do hard reset
Any ideas? How do I do a hard reset?
well after search all over the forum i end up with 2 solutions
1-the first was to flash the kernel using this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/tutorial-how-to-boot-to-recovery-lp-690-t3069984
but in a very stupid way i could not do it ( i was using wrong dir ), but im not shure if this method would work.
2- the one i use, i just downgrade fw to 23.0.A.2.93
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
after getting recovery i flash 23.1.A.0.726 Lollipop 5.02, Odexed, Pre-Rooted 2.46, XDualRecovery 2.8.14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...03-lollipop-5-02-odexed-pre-rooted-2-t3090505
and done!
I backup all because I erase all

Unusual Soft Brick

Hey there,
I followed the guide on XDA to root my Xperia SP with the Towelroot app. The guide is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783885
I then rebooted my phone into recovery, and flashed the latest build.
I rebooted the phone and downloaded the latest Cynagonenmod 12.1 nightly build for the Xperia SP. Once downloaded I wiped my phone and installed the ROM using the TWRP recovery that I'd installed before. At that point I powered off the phone whilst I downloaded the Gapps package on my PC.
When I returned to my phone to try and turn it on nothing happens. It won't turn on or even load the splash screen when I press the power button.
When I hold the power button , the phone vibrates and nothing more! The reset button on the back of the phone does nothing either unless the phone is plugged into a PC. Even then, the phone vibrates 3 times but still won't turn on properly.
I have gone through the Flashroot tutorials over the last 3 hours trying to solve this problem but I've had no success.
I have found that if I hold the volume key down and connect the phone to the PC then the green light appears on the bottom bar of the phone for a period of about 40 seconds before turning off again. It then turns back on and repeats the process.
I am unsure what to do next. Sorry for the long post.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Flashtool progresss
Sorry for the bump but if this helps anyone that could potentially help me. Here is what happens when I try to use Flashtools to flash a stock ROM onto the Xperia SP.
EDIT: Don't worry I solved the problem. I instead used the PC Companion tool to recover my phone and it worked a charm!
I realised the mistake I made. I tried to install Cyanogen Mod 12.1 without an unlocked bootloader which is what likely caused the brick.
