[Q] Completely Dead - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
what i did.
I unlocked the Bootloader via Flashtool
Rooted the device
Installed TW Recovery.
Installed iHackers 4.
All was fine until i saw the i wasnt connected to my Network Provider .
AHH i forgot to flash "Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.3.A.0.757].ftf"
So i went into flashtool and flashed it, excluding everything execpt Kernel and Baseband.
The flashtool finshed and the device shut down. And thats it. Since then nothing. Not even
the led or something is showing any lifesignal. I tryed every button combi. The red reset button.
Tryed to enter flashmode.. NOTHING!!! What the ?! ANy ideas what i can do?
Last time i checked the accu was @ 93 %. I have it now on the charger dock hoping it is just a battery issue. No combination (pwr+vol+ or pwr+vol- etc.) working so far.
thanx

What is this?
Did you Backup TA? Did you followed this instructions HERE?
If you did not, then you was asking for troubles.

I started the Flashtool .. clicked on BLU and followed the instructions.
ANd the flashtool successfully unlocked the booloader
But thats not my problem. The Phone is dead.. I does not give
any lifesignes .. also the backup is useless if i cant get flashboot
or any way to use adb .. to work.

Yes it is a problem.
Even in this Tutorial is all well explained that you have to use the OFFICIAL Sony way to unlock Bootloader,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right.
Maybe I am wrong but this is how supposed to be to avoid issues.
Then you phone is bricked and you have to follow other instruction to check if still can be resurrected, there is many Threads on XDA about this.

Wow i haven't thought that I get some nagging here instead of constructive suggestions. In any case i will let the phone on the charger for 24 hours and see if it helps. Also I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BOOTLOADER ISSUE!!! All worked fine.. I booted into ihackers 4 multiple times without any problems.. Also the Phone would show ANY signes of life, eg. LED RED or blinking etc..But nothing
ALSO:
"..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right."
In the "getting started" thread of z1 it is suggested to use the flashtool! And like i said .. it finished successfully..
Thank you for your answer and the nagging...

Ok, If you are so sure then Ok, but still weird, as I follow different instruction and never had a problem then people do on they way and later have problems. It can be a coincidence and maybe is not your case, but sometime thinking easy can compromise the whole process.
I flashed different patches on mine Kernel I kill my phone few times and mine was completely dead, no led nothing, but it boot into Flashmode or Fastboot, you have somehow go in that mode and flash again, this is the only soft solution.
If you will not be able to do so then you have to go with the Test Pins, open your back cover and try to resurrect it, the hard way.

I don't understand what went wrong. After flashing the Kernel and Baseband the flashtool said everything went fine eand restarted the device. It turned off and nothing since then. I cant even get into flashboot or flashmode. It feels likt the accu is broken because there is nothing happening whatever i do. I think there is no power. I will not open the device because i still have 2 years of waranty (i hope they repair it as waranty case, if i am lucky) Else I will pay for the repair. We'll see. If this is an accu failure it should be a waranty case.
I had it for about 8 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "machine". Sometimes i feel like trowing it against a wall to see if it reanimates it... But i can keep myself from doing it. =)
We'll see..

probably stupid guess: maybe ur phone just stucked on something and may not be completely switched off??
press vol+ and power button, see if ut vibrates 3 times
if it does, congrats an flash kernel again

If not then its Sony's problem probably a faulty device. Send warranty and don't mention bootloader, root or ROM.

flashtool
The only thing you can do in situations like this, as told in every such thread, is reflash with the flashtool.
Will FlashTool pick it up when connecting via Vol -Up? If so, try pushing the FTF again,even a different FTF?
i will try when i get home to see if it will pickup the flashtool.
it kinda sucks tho. why it did this ? i didnt even install anything in the stupid thing aside from few games. jesus.
What FTF did you use ? I would suggest using another just in case, you may / may not need to wipe data
the one from the main thread :/. " not the one with the typo "
i think its from singapore one ? because it had some stuff from that country.
i will go home in 1 hour or so and try to flash without wipe.
finger crossed :/
its not accepting the flashtool.
i turn the device off. i click on the back botton. but nothing.
the log says the file is connected in fast boot mode. but there is nothing . i still get the pop screen that shows the instructions how to plug your device.

ok. by miracle i got it to work. but i am not sure what happened and why it did this.
all good i guess :/
also, i wonder if there is an official version of this. not bloated with weird stuff. like euro version or something.
also. one more question.
is there a root for this ?
Reinstall the software with sony update service is what you have to do
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
glad to read that is fixed ..
I had this same issue yesterday. I installed the the update from the India c6602. Things were working fine the first day. I did a reset and then had the same issue as the OP had.
A re-flash with the flashtool didn't work the first time and the I tried the Sony companion fix option, and still had problems. Then I realized I had to install the drivers. Are you on windows 8? did you install the drivers that came with the flashtool? I did and then re-flashed, and now its fine again.

Most people seem to have flashed the Global FTF, you could reflash the old firmware, then when you plug into PC Companion it should flick up the update for you/your region.
I would just flash Global

Xperia TX bricked (only showing sony logo then a triangle with an exclamation mark)

Please help me guys, I have no one else to turn to. My parents are gonna kill me if they find out what I did to my phone.
So my phone accidentally fell at school with the bluetooth still on.So I put the battery pack, power it on, but then it started to go on a boot loop i.e.
Sony logo-->Xperia Logo-->color animation-->black screen. But after 3-4 hours, it managed to do a complete boot! But I noticed that the bluetooth wasnt turning on. So stupid me, I restarted the device, then it started to go on a boot loop again. I got home and I tried it a couple of times more with the power and volume rocker combinations... didnt work either.
I even started using pc companion. didnt work (kept on doing the same thing
SUS --> same thing
NOW: I tried it using a different computer so I went to an internet shop and downloaded pcc and sus. I started pc companion... but halfway through the download... MY PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY and didnt finish the update. :'( Now, whenever I'm booting the phone, I only get the Sony logo and A TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK AND A PHONE UNDERNEATH.....
PLEASE HELP ME! My Phone is a Sony Xperia TX Lt29
Last Version before the crash: JB 4.1.2
No root (Noob here)
please... please. i dont know what to do. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me
calm down.
Charge the phone until it is fully charged.
Download PCCompanion and do a fresh install of it.
Run PCCompanion and choose software update.
Use the option to repair your phone, then follow the instructions.
Let us know how you get on
PS
This will only do a software repair, if something broke because you dropped it (Which it sounds like) you are going to have to come clean and tell your parents to get it fixed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY!!! really thank you :'(
I already did something with the phone because I've been doing a lot of searching on the net lately...
I reinstalled the software using Sony Update Service (SUS) and it booted normally! (but sadly it was only during the FIRST BOOT UP) when I turned off the phone to re insert the sim card and micro sd, It started doing it again... but then, after 6 or 7 tries, it managed to skip past the sony logo-->xperia--> logo-->color animation? and do another complete boot
Now I decided to go to settings and do a complete factory reset cause I thought it would fix everything... but it didn't. It started doing the same thing, and I had to give it 10 or 12 tries before eventually booting up again. When it booted up normally, I was even able to play music with it and change the settings like brightness, volumes, equalizers, and even arrange widgets!
SITUATION NOW:I turn on the Wi-fi and it's in a boot loop again and I'm charging the phone up to 100%
(i did the vol.up vol down power combination before charging)
gregbradley, is it because of our slow internet connection??? (it took me like 4 nerve racking hours to finish the update) but sus was able to complete the download and install the software... what the f*ck is wrong with my phone (((( ohgod
AND:
I'll follow your instructions when the charge is complete...... and I'll be back to you with the results.God I hope this works.Thank you again.
Have you tried only partially flashing part of an ftf file. I know when my phone was on the brink of death I discovered that if I only flashed part of an ftf using flashtool that it would work. I think I would check everything that has exclude (ie: Exclude System) and it would work for me. Its not the end of the world though as the phone does work. Just a bootloop. If you can get it into flash mode then just exclude everything except System, Kernel, and baseband if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for the reply man '^^
um... to tell you the truth, I have no idea how to partially flash a tft file, let alone flashing. O_O (see how noob i am?) its saddening. So am I in the point right now where my phone's problem is unsolvable via pc companion or sony update service??? Plus I've been doing some searching here on xda and I saw this thread about xperia TX users updating to version b 167 and that their bootloaders are now locked.
This is what my phone is exactly doing whenever I try to boot it up:
Sony Logo---->Xperia Logo----> Color waves animation?---> FREEZE-->black screen then the Sony Logo again.
Whenever I try to boot up for the 2nd time this happens:
Sony Logo----> Black Screen---> Phone turns off---> Sony Logo again
(((
You have flashtool yes? If you load up like you're going to flash a ftf file. Once you click to load up the ftf file it'll pull a menu where you pick what you want to flash. On the right side of flashtool that's where the exclude part is. That's where you have to check the *exclude option. The same thing happened to me when I accidentally flashed a T cm10 rom on my phone. I had to partially flash a ftf file to get it to boot. It should work but since you're not familiar with flashtool its going to make it a bit harder for you in the end. :/

just let it plug in with the charger and keep your phone on for day, usually that will fix it after a few hours with that logo running
Use a battery charger, charge for at least half the entire batt and then follow the thread on flashing, download some files while charging to minimize downtime

Hey guys...... ))))
First and foremost, thank you for all your replies.. really helped me a lot (
It's okay now guys! '^^ I re installed the software via Sony Update Service and it worked. At first I thought the phone was a goner cause it didn't manage to do a complete boot right after the installation. (Phone was stuck on the Sony Logo) But then the next morning, I tried it again and it worked!!
BUT: What I fear now is that the phone might suddenly crash again if I turn on the WI-FI (just like what happened in my previous attempts) If the phone crashes, I fear that the phone would start going on a boot loop again.So basically, I'm just using the phone for media purposes only i.e. Walkman, Gallery,Camera, Movies.
Any thoughts on this, cool, awesome people of xda? '^^ (cant update my apps and google now f*ck)
just.. sad. I miss Flipboard,Modern Combat 4, My Daddy Was a Thief, Real Racing 3, DEAD SPACE (((
one question...
Did something broke inside my phone when it fell?? If yes... WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?? why is it behaving this way??? Why does it keep on boot looping??? should I go and let an expert open it????

Firstly i want to note that my battery is certainly dead, and i can't charged it beacause of the restart/boot loop that i mentioned in my early posts...if yes, can you guys provide me with necesary tools, firmaware and stuff, because after all the attempts i tried, i'm afraid to do something else to the phone. I mean i was stupid in the first place to not ask how to do it properly, and i don't want to lose the phone...

Bricked!! -.-
Hey guys, I don't know if this is out of topic but since this is for xperia z bricked, I'll show my problem.
So, I updated my xperia z for 3 times since I bought it, It came with Android 4.2.2 and the updates were all OTA.
Then, sudently It started to reboot itself and entering in bootloop.. Then, I tried to use flashtool but always gave me error about S1 flash, and then "Error: Flash Aborted"
So I tried to unlock my bootloader several times (Yes, several times, because it was always saying ok, but then it was showing "ROOTABLE") then, when I Finally got it unlocked, I couldn't flash anything because it was gaving me error saying that couldn't write boot.. Then, Tried Pc companion but again, failed, and my phone was stuck in "Update failed (...)"
Then finally, I flashed advanced kernel by DoomLord and entered in CWM, but when I tried to wipe factory reset, It was saying that couldn't mount data.. Then, I have formated the Data and Media (SD Card) And then, I was able to do factory reset, but, then, I went to advance and did reboot recovery.. My phone turned off, but never came on... I arrived at home and connect ti to wall charger, but no sign of life, nothing, not even red led or anytihng.. NOTHING!! Don't know what happened.. I really need help on this man, please :c

Fasching Kernel + Baseband only - Phone dead!

Hi
i had paranoid android installed but the baseband was the wrong one..
(I installed iHackers 4.1 without flashing kernel + baseband because then i landed in a bootloop)
When on ihackers i installed paranoid android 4.4.4 over it and it worked. But also like in ihackers
i could not connect to my network because of the wrong baseband.
So i downloaded C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf and flashed only the baseband without wiping anything..
Restarted .. baseband hasn't changed but the system booted and everything was fine.
Than i flashed only the kernel and the baseband without flashing anything else and wiping anything.
The phone went dead. Really dead. Power + vol+ which allways worked (3xvibrate) not working.
LED not working .. Just dead!!! i have it on the charger because before the last flashing it was @ about 15 - 20 % accu.
But even when i connect the charger .. no led .. nothing .. its playing dead.
Any Idea? (it is .. now that i remember .. not the first time a z1 went that dead on me.. I had a z1 before which did the same. now in retrospective I remember flashing kernel and baseband (ONLY) also on that phone.. and it went dead.
If somebody likes to trash his/her z1 try flashing only baseband and kernel. (I am sure the kernel and the baseband are the correct one for the firmware.)
Any ideas how to reanimate my z1?

You have flashed a stock kernel to a custom rom, so of course you will get a bootloop.
Solution, flash a stock FTF, after leaving the phone on charge for a few hours
and post your questions in the Q&A section
Cant get into flashmode or fastboot mode.. it does not react on any button combination

yes .. i pushed it several times and also for ab 12 sec. nothing happens.
This happened to me when I first got my Z1. Unfortunately I had to send my phone back to Sony which they ended up replacing the motherboard.
They won't be able to detect any custom firmwares. Waiting time is unfortunately about 14 business days once they receive it...
If you phone is unlocked be sure to let them know so you get an nck unlock code. You will have a new imei.

This is not a motherboard issue, it just needs charging for a few hours and then reflashing. Also he has lost his warranty due to unlocking so since this happened as a direct result of flashing custom roms he wont e able to claim on warranty
I understand this is not a motherboard issue, however the exact same problem happened to me months ago. Even after waiting overnight and trying to enter flash mode again it would not respond properly.
Sony's solution is to replace the motherboard at the repair facility I'm assuming because it is the easiest method.
I can almost guarantee this is what will happen when you send it in and they won't deny you warranty.
If you cannot get your phone into flash mode after a few hours, try again overnight. If not I would send it in, or get your carrier to replace it.
Repeat this magic phrase: "I updated my phone and it wouldn't turn on"

Hi,
I've run pac-rom on my Z1. Now I want to flash from the current .109 firmware only the base band. In Flash Tool under exclude everything except I labeled baseband. Then the flash process starts without error message. When I start the phone is still the old baseband version. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Maybe its the same baseband?
No,
old version is .39, and the new from .108 is .51
Hey thanks for your answers @ all!!
The failure was that i flashed roms / ftf with very low battery. Than i charged for a few hours and flashed again .. and on and on.
At some point the accu seems to got broken.
I send it to a repair facility used by sony and they confirmed that the accu is dead.
It seems that i get a replacement. (on warranty)
Thank you again. ! SO!!! What we learn from this is "Only flash your device when its charged!"

Xperia Z restarts

Hi my friends.
Today was very bad day for me. First my bird died, then my phone stops working and i stuck in elevator. I need your help. Afternoon i want to call my buddy for lunch. Everything starts after lockscreen. When i call him phone wont connect to operator then it says no connection and stuck at dialer. I push power button to get lockscreen and it frozen for while then it locks and i opened lockscreen. When i saw launcher phone resets and every time it resets at SONY logo. I flashed my device 3 times or more. I used .233 . 230 and 4.3 . Every time battery shows wrong percentage. Phone opens when i plugged to charge. But if it has sim card it resets. When i disconnect from charger it resets. I try to open USB DEBUGING for install recovery to reset battery info but when i check USB debuging it resets again. You guys have any idea for that problem.
Did you try clean installation?

Try pushing your simcard back in place, sometimes it'll get out of place, and then you're phone won't connect to network and reboot every time it thinks simcard is removed

Looks like the is some issue with Sim assembly or can be a software/hardware issue.
As all methods have not worked take the phone to a service center and get it diagnosed
ive got the reboot problem too,
try to use philz touch, go to mount and storage, mount system, factory reset,
go back to mount, mount system, flash rom
keep stamina mode off, so far that has kept my rom stable ( tried to turn stamina mode on and caused a reboot after an hour or so)
im not sure if this a final solution, but its what i am trying
Yesterday i got my device from service. They change full body. I didnt understand what problem couses it. Now everything works fine.
