Sony Xperia Z - failed update - dead phone - HELP ! - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to update my Sony Xperia Z through Pc Companion to android kitkat... All was good until the program poped up a window and said that it couldn't download it anymore because of a network problem ( my internet connection was good, no problems ). And from that point on, when i try to open the phone it says " the software update failed, make sure the phone is connected to the computer and try again " and blacks out... also i think the battery is dead and i cannot charge it because it says only that and turns off...
Please help me... I don't know what to do anymore...
i tried with sony update service, it downloads the update and when it's about to install. says to make sure the battery is fully charged and try again... and i cannot do that... What to do ????
If it matters, it's a C6603 ...
sorry for my english..

It doesn't work!
When i plug it in the wall charger is doing a restart loop, with the sony logo, then the message a wrote earlier " the software update failed, make sure the phone is connected to the computer and try again " and a red led light, and it's the same thing over and over again...
That's my concern...if i damaged the phone...i mean, if i can't recharge it, i can't do nothing...
There must be some way to fix this..please help...

Download SUS (formerly SEUS) from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

Oh I didnt read that .. then the only thing you can try is using Flashtool and flash the firmware manually.. it should work..

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...
And sorry if my English is rough

Okay, so it's like this:
It looks like I've got something very screwed up....
I was trying to crack PowerAMP, and in process it was written that I have to delete this file: data/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer databases/folders.db. And so I did, I deleted it. And than I tryed to reboot my phone, and that the moment was when it got f#cked up.
I can't do anything, all the time I have errors like "The application app name has stoped working", and when I press force close(have nothing else to press), the new error same like that one comes up, and so all the time. And it finally reboots, it reboots from FLOYO logo, and then again I have those errors, and so all the time.....
I have tryed to access xrecovery but I can't. As much as I remamber, I can access it by pressing back while SE logo - yeah, that's what I'm doing, but nothing....

[Q] [HELP] Sony Ericsson X8 Bootloop

Two week ago when i played radio from an application on my device while charging it, suddenly my device reboot and reboot again...
Then i was trying reset all data but the problem still exist...
So i followed some guide from this forum by rooting and flashing it using flashtool and using new firmware from provide link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19684920#post19684920 and http://www.mediafire.com/?d3pobqqc3py66#4c02265ox4l1r )
and the problem was still the same, reboot and reboot again, so i tried using PCC and SEUS but it didn't change anything..
Lately, when i charge my device, it didn't reboot, but when i didn't charge the phone, on some point my device reboot and reboot again and the battery went down to +/- 2-15%
What is really happen to my device ?? Is it battery problem or RAM problem ???

Using PC Companion: Connect your phone to your PC and turn it on. Look around the update phone section of PC Companion for an option called "Repair your phone". Just follow the steps and your phone will be in working order pretty soon

or maybe i am right, the problem is the battery or the RAM...
cause it happen when i listening a web radio and charging my phone....
that time my battery is full but i forget to unplug it, and when it happen, the battery is enough hot....
or maybe my cache memory, that is used by a web radio application is full....

Sony Ericsson X8 Bootloop
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Hope it works for you.

For my case, it will bootup with 1.6 stock rom, the baseband will be stated unknown, but it still can call and receive SMS...
Any rom that is above 2.1 won't be able to boot, that include stock 2.1 and any custom rom...
It only can be repaired by SE i think (or maybe JTAG )...
So in the end i gave up the phone and sold it at a cheap price to a friend and he took it to SE for repair, the phone comes back with stock 2.1 ROM
but the camera and vol button are not working, most probably damaged by the repair guy in SE...
Btw, any one knows what causes the baseband to gone like that?

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.
any help

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

[Q] Completely Dead

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

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.

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,

"..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

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
Thomas

Is it getting red led when you try to charge it?
If not then its Sony's problem probably a faulty device. Send warranty and don't mention bootloader, root or ROM.
yup owns Z1 and stuff.

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

Oh, and battery will show right percentage again if you fully charge it

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.
