So frustrating, but when I tried to update my phone to 4.3 the phone gets to the 2nd dot stops and then restarts with the message 'could not install new software version. Try again'
Has anyone had this problem, and found a solution? It happens everytime I try, updating via the computer via both PCC and flashtool isn't an option because my phone does not respond in flashmode!
also bootloader is locked and no longer rooted
thanks
Install the flashmode and TX drivers from the Flashtool drivers folder and then install the FTF from Flashtool

The problem I am having is updating over the air.. as I said I cannot update using flashtool or PCC because the usb port seems to be faulty
You said that your phone didn't respond in flashmode. How do you charge your phone if the USB port is faulty? Driver problems seems much more likely to me.
Anyway, did you unlock your bootloader or installed a custom ROM/recovery?

Like I've said I haven't messed with the phone at all, with the exception of rooting it.
I also assumed it was drivers but after spending ages playing around with various computers it still wont respond. I also think it's faulty because if I try and charge it using the wall charger when it is switched off, nothing happens whereas it should boot up? The USB port functions perfectly fine when the phone is on
thanks

My upgrade failed for unknown reasons and now I am not able to start my phone. Tried calling Xperia helpline and they said as this phone is not released in India they cannot help.
Current Status: -
My PC cannot detect my phone. If I long press power or power plus volume up button PC gives 3 beeps
Do that whilst it is not connected to the pc.
Then goto pccompanion and run the software update, when the repair option comes up choose that, then connect phone in flashmode when prompted

I checked my PC device manager, my phone is now detected as QHUSB_DLOAD and no drivers are installed. I tried to search for its drivers but I found drivers only for TX. Tried installing those but still no luck

Yes I had to send my phone to Germany. Even Sony service center at US did not help me out. They replaced my phone's hardware. It took around 2 months for that ( Luckily I had my old Xperia X10 ). Yes you can update your phone, I had done that before. I will not suggest you to buy Xperia T or TX as they do not provide support for these phones in India.
Is it available in any of the local shops in India?
Yes but you will definitely enjoy the element of uniqueness unlike any phones from other manufacturers :silly:
This has probably been asked many times before but ive rooted my xperia t and want to unlock the bootloader so I can install pacman rom, however when i hold the volume up and plug in the usb cable, the blue light stays on for around 5 seconds and then goes into charging mode, many people say to wait for it to show up in the device manager and install it manually which i keep trying to do but so far no luck so is there anyone who would gladly show me a noobs way of doing it as im following this guide at the moment.

you have to boot into safe mode and install the drivers that way.
It may not be called safe mode in win 8, but its something like that
RE: Xperia T wont stay in fastboot mode?
I have the same problem has anyone figured it out yet i cant do it in safe mode
had the same issue, but with me the problem was w8, if you are on window 8 you need to disable driver verification or something like that, i recomend, doing it on a windows 7 pc
I have windows 7 but did not work, can using a laptop affect the driver installation?
No, I use a win 7 laptop

Ok that's good because my desktop is quite slow. Could you tell me what you did exactly, I think I might be doing it wrong?
prob not, try on a other pc?

Thanks, i did and i got in to boot loader, thankyou!
Some of you may have seen my first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473736
Since I got no response, and I really don't know what's wrong with the phone, then I was thinking on giving it to Sony Service and wait for they to fix it.
Anyway I was also wondering on the possibility of a hardbrick, but I'm really not sure, how can I tell if the motherboard is really damaged? let's say for example that I can still flash the phone (which I actually can do), and when I put the phone in flashmode, flashtool recognizes it and give me the number version of the last image I flashed. If this is posible it means the phone isn't hardbricked? if it were, then I couldn't even put it in flshmode? Or I'm I missing something.
Hardbricked means: no flashmode, no fastboot, no booting, not anything? Or can a phone be hardbricked and still entering those modes?
Of course all of this is focused on xperia phones.
Thanks for the help!
Repair via SEUS maybe

Thanks all for the suggestions, but I already have tried all of this with no results. That's why I'm wondering if it's hardbricked, but I'm not sure because I still can flash the phone.
If you can get into flashmode it is not a hardbrick

Uninstall the drivers, reboot your PC, if you can't uninstall the drivers uninstall flashtool v0.9.13 and delete the folders in program files then install it again. Keep pressed volume down all the time and connect the phone via usb to PC, do not open flashtool, wait 1 minut and let windows install the drivers automatically first, then open flashtool, select firmware and flash it, keep pushing volume down all the time. When on the green bar below show up the % of the process you can leave your phone alone. Done.

So at this point here is no problem. After you install drivers, open flashtool and what he saying; Device connected in flash mode?
Do you remember to keep pushing all this time volume down too?
Where can i download those drivers? Thanks.

Not sure about that. Can be the signal 4G because LTE is not available, did you downloaded the installation for internet and mms from your sim provider? Even before that try make a Factory Reset. Most of issues are fix in this way.

when I reboot my phone it auto download vpn interntet mms all of that
I don't think so factory reset will help
because it is uk version.
feel more smooth compare to 4.2.2 so lucky I make it through without any issue :laugh:
now just signal lte icon.....
there is one thing phone signal looks more strong
4G and LTE are the same thing. The display of either of them depends on the region from where you flashed the ftf.

In UK its called 4g, in most other countries its called LTE. But it is the same...
Hi everyone, I need some help because I have a problem with my xperia Z1... My device doesn't want to connect to my computer through the USB cable... I've tried everything I knew, I've unchecked and rechecked USB debugging, I've tried to reflash the rom, I've tried reboot both of my computer and my phone, I've tried to switch between multiple USB cables and computers and it still does not work.
When I plug my phone in the USB port of my computer, there is some kind of loop : it connects and deconnects several time until I unplug it. Charging seems working fine and I have no clue of what's happening... I need help !
Device infos :
Xperia z1 c6903, locked bootloader, running android 4.4 kitkat on .757 firmware with the MonXdified rom, 32GB sd card, 16GB internal storage.
Help me please !
PS: Sorry for my english but I am french.
