[Q] Xperia Z not booting (bricked?)

Dear all,
I've had my XZ for 3 days.
I first unlocked the bootloader, using sony's website and instructions found here.
I then installed twrp [APP/RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 for lockled bootloaders installer.
I was able to flash [ROM] 15/03- RomAur v1.3.2 [ 1.A.1.350 ] [ C6603 ] [ APM - 18 TOGGLES ] [ONLINE] afte making a backup.
The phone worked great for 2 days.
Later, I decided to flash DooMKernel {JB}(v02)[20130310] and [RECOVERY] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.2.8 for Xperia Z (Stock Kernel) [20130303].
I was able to boot, but my phone started bootlooping. Couldn't get it stable anymore.
I decided to try flashing CM10.1 and then later go back to stock.
I never was able to flash CM as I wasn't able to access my sdcard from fastboot and adb wasn't working on CWM.
I also fooled around with fastboot trying to flash stock boot (thinking the kernel had my phone going into bootloops).
After playing aroung with the phone, I must have let it go into critical battery state (i'm guessing).
Suddely, the red led started blinking and then the phone went dead.
Now, when I plug the phone, I get a stable red led, but the phone won't boot anymore.
I had vabrations on power pressing earlier. Now not even that..
The phone just sits there, waiting for the end of the world to happen.
I'm devastated. First time I brick a device (well it sure seems that way)..
Now, I can only hope someone has an idea.. Given what I've done with the phone, I think a can calmly say my warrenty is voided. So sony's support isn't much of a solution..
Thanks for your help.
EDIT:
I tried flastool. Can't get any greed led, but the phone is detected in flash mode.
Now, flastool is stuck on : 20/036/2013 09:36:44 - INFO - Reading device information.
Damn..

I charged the phone for hours. Don't think charging it any more would help... But thank you.
Does anyone know if flashing stock FW with flashtool repairs boot and/or bootloader?
Thanks
EDIT:
WOW!
I don't really know how it happened (I think I pressed both volume buttons to enter flash mode with my phone) and it started flashing eventually.... Know it just booted up again.
I'm so relieved.....
Thanks anyway..

System.sin error! flashtool!

hello, my xperia sp has been soft-bricked! im trying to get it back to normal, but i can't!
i downloaded the stock firmware for my phone c5306( .205 ) and im trying to flash it via flashtool.
a hundred times i have got the system.sin error! drivers updated, tried with different pcs, different cables! no result, same error!
i also tried excluding system.sin from the right column, all other files are flashed normally! but when i try system.sin, error!
also, my phone shows green light after sometime after i plug it into the charger! when i remove it and hold power button for 2sec, the red led flashes and goes off, if i hold it it keeps flashing!
also it will only show sony logo after flash mode has been exited!
please help me! i have spent 3 days on it(day and night) but still no solution!:crying:
i just got this phone 1 week ago!
i have also attached the image of the error!
please help devs! i will be very greatful!
the reason i think is that when the system.sin is almost done, the phone is exiting flashmode? this might be the reason?
if yes please give solution!
( i checked by disconnecting phone while the flashing was halfway through, same error!)

Firstly, try flashing some different FTF files, as this is most likely the problem.
If that doesn't work and you are already on unlocked bootloader, you can try the following:
1. Flash everything in the .ftf file using the latest Flastool, except system (system.sin).
2. Open the .ftf file using 7zip and extract the system.sin.
3. Flash the system.sin using fastboot: fastboot flash system system.sin.
The above method has worked for others with similar problems. Again, only for unlocked bootloader.
If that fails you might also have corrupted or broken NAND memory. Hardware issue is surely a probability.
Other might have other suggestions...

somehow i flashed ftf! but now the phone reboots only after flash/fastboot mode, first it used to show only sony logo, but now it shows sony,xperia, xperia bootanimation, off!
if i flash system.sin through fastboot, where should i place the file?

In the folder where you extracted fastboot.
Fastboot is a program on it's own. I'm not talking about the fastboot mode in flashtool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Again, ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
If you haven't unlocked it, this methode won't work.
Try flashing a different FTF, as I mentioned after editing my post.

now whats happening is, when i press power button for 2 or more secs, the red led flashes! when i connect the phone to wall charger, red led stays on.
i took device into fastboot mode and rebooted into device via flashtool......
then the device booted normally and showed android id upgrading......... app 49 of 179 then off!
does this mean i should charge it? as far as i know, i have 70-80% battery.......

Leave phone in charging overnight and stay calm

Your battery is dead, but since android said it was upgrading apps, this means your problem is most likely fixed.
Let it charge for a few hours.

Glad you got everything sorted.
Unless an Xperia SP has hardware problems, i'm quite sure it cannot get fully bricked.

I have exactly the same problem
Could you give me the steps to fix this problem? I have exactly the same problem when i try to install android with flashtool. No matter the version:
"24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - INFO - Ending flash session
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - 31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted"
And when i try to power up a red led is blinking. If i connect the charger the red led stays on. Also, its hard to enter flashmode (green led) and fast boot (blue led) doesn't seem to work in Flashtool (in order to select system.sin to Flash). Despite the blue led is on, Flashtool doesn't let me to reboot into fastboot mode.

You got yourself a driver problem. Reinstall the drivers

you cant be hard bricked on locked bootloader . it hapenned to me. solutions:
1. get another ftf files, sometimes ftf can get damaged.
2. install custom drivers.
3. try different pcs (My Solution )
4. charge the phone 1 day (24hrs)
5. unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel and flash a rom, then u can flash stock and relock bl
6. change ur cable.
if no one of this solutions fix ur problem u are so bad

hey, I had the same problem, system.sin not beeing flashed (everything else was)
the second of three error message (where the reason for the failure to install system.sin) was "ERROR - " so ... not very helpfull ^^
so after trying pretty much every solutions offered in this thread with no success I tried changing flashtool version going from 0.9.19.1 to 0.18.6 and ...
it worked, I was able to flash the full ftf file and start my phone again !!

MAAAN!!! this worked!! I was spending many days and nights wondering WHY??? Thank you!!! :laugh::laugh:
I could flash 4.4.4 normally with the latest flashtool but no 5.x.x version would work!
If this is important enough maybe Androxyde will take a look into that...
Anyways , I am happy now^^

Lol its not a known problem and please do not notify Androxyde about it. Version post 0.19.8.6 but prior to 0.19.9.1 uses a template file called fsc to accommodate new xperia devices. This breaks support for older xperia devices that doesn't have the fsc template. The template can be created of course, but it seemed no one from the xperia sp community want to contribute lol.
So the versions that will make ftf flashable again is 0.19.8.6 and 0.19.9.1+. You could have solve this by yourself if you read the note given on the website properly.

Well, I don't know what FSC is and the changelog on the website says the new version is compatible with all xperia devices....so that is what I used. How could I know..?

-I then tried to install a ROM and followed "Flash official Sony's 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 with flashtool"
-So i picked up Xperia Z (C6603) 10.3.1.A.2.74 T-Mobile NL ( Dont know what I was thinking... I should of known.)
-Flashed it with Flashtool and now it boots up in a different language AND after I unlock the lock screen
it goes black and reboots ><. I cant get into settings or anything, Cant even see the homescreen.
I then found C6606_T-Mobile US_1272-8668_10.4.C.0.814_R12C and tried to flash it knowing that I had messed up
with a different firmware from NL. BUT this is all I get:

- No bootdelivery to send
- Ending flash session
- Flashing finished.

Thank you very much for your time and quick response
I can now sleep in peace (its 12:43AM)

I have Sony Xperia Z c6603 (Vodafone IT). I am attempting to flash ftf to have it access the US bands. I have tried:
10.5.A.0.230 C6606 Customize US and C6506 Customize US;
10.4.C.0.814 C6606 T-mobile US (i do have a tmo sim);
14.4.A.0.108 c6806 Customize US; 10.4.B.0.569 c6506 Customize US. All downloaded through the "Check updates" tool in Flasher by Androxyde. None of these attempts have been successful. They have all be attempted several time. Right now I have my phone charging and it is stuck in a reboot loop. My latest attempt was the 10.4.C.0.814 C6606 T-mobile US. I get the t-mobile screen and even gets me as far as the lock screen, but then just black and moments later a reboot. The first time I try to boot my phone after flashing 10.4.C.0.814 C6606 T-mobile US (before the boot loops begins) I did get a dialog box staying "Process system isn't responding. Do you you want to close it?" wait button or OK button. Frankly I would like to have the c6506 or the c6806 firmware, but t-mobile is getting me a tad further than the other versions.
However the only common denominator between every attempt is the follow text in the log
20/004/2014 11:04:23 - INFO - Ending flash session
20/004/2014 11:04:23 - INFO - Flashing finished.

20/008/2014 11:08:30 - INFO - Device disconnected
I have been re-flashing this thing over and over and I have repaired it with Sony Mac Bridge a couple time. After the repair and before I semi bricked this thing, I did check debugging and unknown sources. That was several attempts ago, though. I have not been able to boot the phone.
Any suggestions?
p.s. i have also tried to flash ftf from the link you provided and have had no luck with those either. I am going to try that again while I wait for the cyber forum gods to send me any suggestions.

anyone please...

hey guys . im still waiting ...

Try using a different usb port on your laptop or a different usb cable. Sometimes flashing may fail due to damaged usb port or cable. Also try using the usb cable that sony bundled with your phone (I used LG cable and didnt work for me). If that doesnt work, it seems that your battery is dead.

Try locking your bootloader first (If it possible through fastboot). Looking at the errors the flashtool is giving, it seems like the flashing stops because bootloader is unlocked. Even if you read flashtool thread, it says bootloader should be locked (as far as I remember, havent visited the thread since a long time)

Okay the problem is getting worse. Have you tried to unlock your bootloader again? If not, please try so. I have a final option for you to decide.

Please understand my posts correctly. Are you currently on an unlocked bootloader? Or if you can confirm it is locked, do you manage to be able to unlock the bootloader through the Flashtool?

I can't really help if I don't know the current state of your bootloader
Your last option here is to retry flashing a stock ROM FTF onto your phone. I hope it will work. [Choose your desired stock ROM based on your XSP model here]

My intention or objective right now is to have you successfully boot up your phone and restore it without relying on flashtool so much.
Since you said your bootloader is unlocked, you'll now left to flash DoomLord's advanced kernel that will give you recovery access.
Because my understanding is limited, based on your posts earlier, it seemed you indeed tried to flash a kernel via fastboot but your phone died. Based on multiple logs, there are also multiple errors that seemed to be involving hardware. And due to that kind of advanced log error I must apologise and tell you that I am now unable to help you.
Your log listed so many errors, it even unable to detect the model number of your phone, nor the current state of your bootloader (on newer posts).
If you wish to try my last suggestion, do said so. Otherwise, I have to back myself out of this since it is not my expertise.
I am very sorry

i know that situation is sucks i know and thank you for helping me to this step and i'm so much own you.
but last question i found a post for fastboot unbricked my type of phone but i dont undrestand small part of it and maybe it's help others
boot.img -The main kernel and initrd
recovery.img -A 'backup' kernel, initrd, and OS 4 sysm recovery/maintanance
sytem.img -The main OS
userdata.img -User data and settings
splash.img -Has Boot image. can be splash1 as well.
cache.img -Temp storage
...there can be similar partition names depends on your device type.... but basically these 6 partitions constitute a ROM. Copy all of (6) files to .android folder. (Henceforth, we can use this recovery.img as stock recovery for your device.)
"As your device is bricked/corrupted, we need to erase all old Partitions and flash (rewrite) new partitions that we have extracted from Update zip and placed in .android."
(1) Lets erase all partitions first (one by one)using: fastboot erase <partition>
Quote
C:\.android>fastboot erase system
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase recovery
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase boot
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase userdata
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase splash
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase cache
Successful
(2) Continuing with Flashing new partions using the Images copied in .android:
Command: fastboot flash <partition> <partition_name.img>
Quote
C:\.android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash system system.img here people gen. get stuck
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash splash splash.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot reboot
If all successful, Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
...If you are Unable to flash 'system.img' successfully...
Reason: Your device is not allowing to format and rewrite 'system' partition manually. If your device is Rooted then probably such failure will never occur.
Let's overcome this Issue as well...Try Following...
First, Understand current State of Device...
We Wiped out old partitions and Flashed new partitions except :-\ system :-\ So No System on your Device at present.
What we will do now..
We will now wipe all partitions again
We will then flash only recovery.img saved in .android folder
We will use update.zip saved in .android folder to Flash it using SD Card.
We will copy update.zip on SD Card (using adb). If you can do it manually using a card reader skip step-II in below process.
Step-I: Wiping 'partitions' and Flashing 'recovery.img':Let's wipe all partitions again:
Quote
C:\.android>fastboot -w
C:\.android>fastboot reboot-bootloader
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
C:\.android>reboot
Step-II: Copy update.zip on SDCARD
Quote
C:\.android>adb push update.zip /data/sdcard
(Let the process complete. It will take damm much more time !!!)
Once you get 'Successful' message..your update.zip is on your SDCARD. If this is tidious then get a Card reader and copy Update.zip to SD Card directly and replace in Device.
Step-III: As you can't manage to see what is happening on screen(No Display) hence Don't do mistakes here, read carefully and follow exactly:
1.Reboot Device into Recovery Mode:
On cmd type:
Quote
C:\.android>adb reboot recovery
2.Now Press 'Volume(-)' button ONCE. (Once means 'once only'-if you did mistake here repeat the Step-III)
3.Press 'Power' Button TWICEand Leave you Device for some 10 Minutes time.
If phone don't get alive in 10 Minutes Repeat Step-III again.
You may not able to see but Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
Explaining Last Step:
We used simple logic in last procedure/ Its nothing but updating using Recovery Mode. Always remember Custom Recovery of Micromax A56/57 has following options: (May be diferent for other devics)
1. Reboot device
2. Apply Update.Zip from SDCARD
3. Wipe userdata on device/Factory Update
4. Wipe Cache on Device
As the default curser in recovery UI remains on Option-1 and we needed to choose Option-2.
Hence to select "Apply update for sdcard" we pressed 'Vol(-)' ONCE and then to Confirm and execute that option Tapped 'POWER' button TWICE.
Hope this Guide helped you or ...will Help you to help others !!!

Black screen after flashing boot.img while upgrading cm 13

Hallo,
I was trying to update my xperia sp from cm12 to cm13. I flashed the boot.img from the cm13 zip using twrp3 in the recovery. after reboot nothing shows up. it vibrates once without the display turning on. I tried to flash stock using flashtool, unfortunately I am getting loader.sin error. I can access fastboot mode as well flash mode. I tried to flash boot.img manually using fastboot still didnt work. Sony companion gave me "Fehlercode: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure CompanionUE 3726".
I would like to know if there any chance to get the phone to work again.
thanks alot
Edit 1: boot loader is unlocked

If you can access fast boot - as you said - then try to flash Adrian's latest twrp img via flashtool and then boot to twrp (with up Volume key) and use it to flash cm13.
But If you still want to flash stock ROM then use older version of flashtool v0.9.18.1 not the latest one.

Hi,
fastboot installed it fine, but it still wont boot. I tried the flashtool version you recommended, still having "18/048/2016 10:48:12 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
18/048/2016 10:48:12 - INFO - Ending flash session

18/048/2016 10:48:12 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted"
even tried doomsday kernel, it flashes with out any problems.
pressing volume up+power for longer makes the phone vibrate 3 times, in case it helps. the display never goes on.
thank you for your reply

Hi, there's many reasons for "loader.sin finished with errors" problem:
1- (99%) Problem with drivers, even if it says device detected and connected, this doesn't mean that the right drivers are actually installed.
2- The FTF file you've downloaded is damaged or not complete.
3- A problem with the USB cable.
So, first of all check your cable and your FTF file md5sum ( the most trusted FTF you can download using Xpirfirm from here) but for now I advice you to try PCC instead, so no need to re-download the FTF file.
After that, plug your phone to the charger and let it charge for at least one hour.
Uninstall flashtool / PCC and all related drivers you've installed to your PC. then follow these steps:

Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Hallo,
Thank you for your reply. I tried the methods you mentioned. nothing seemed to work, in the meantime I have found a cheap xperia z1 to replace the phone.
thank you again
