No, its my attempt at humour when posting from my phone:silly:
@pikeylfc can you do this for me and let me know what happens.
Download the TL firmware from the all in one thread and flash it. However, instead of holding the volume down button (Normal for flashtool) can you hold BOTH the volume UP and DOWN button.
Tell me what happens in flashtool and on your phone please.

Something else to try
Please download these drivers

Hi,
I have a hard brick on TX, and the only way PC recognize connected device was with this driver (Qualcom something). What is this? How can I use it for repair my dead phone?
Thanks,

How did you update, OTA or pushed via FlashTool?

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.

Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

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

Ok, first of all when I buy the phone Xperia Z (C6603/L36h) it work good, but after few days don't recognize the sim card for good.. I don't know if it mean somethings or if because I cut my sim to microsim but I does for good.. After some reboot it rework without ploblems. So it was a temporary problem (30 mins).. Ok second, I unlocked my bootloader and then I flash this ROM -> PAC-ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249 this version -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=1774 and then the gapps. All work fine because I does with other phones, after few days the phone start to reboot loop, but after some reboot it end after an hour like.. but start to recognize the sim and not, like he want.. like a mad.. after 1 days start to reboot loop like the video so after bootanimation the phone stay on, but after 30 secs reboot and again and again, I stopped this with POWER+VOL UP. I try to flash these stock because I don't know which use:
1) C6603_10.1.1.A.1.253_GLOBAL_unbranded_LTE -> After This I Try PC COMPANION (So I have to relock the booloader) but nothing SUS too
2) C6603_10.1.A.1.434_UK unbranded -> This won't work like the video so it start and black screen, the app system crash
3) C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic CE
4) C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic_DE
5) C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK

Ok. And now tell me exactly how do you flash with FlashTool.

Yes but you do not need exactly this firmware. Every generic firmware is the same. So you can download generic sweden or generic uk or whatever.
Edit: i think it is a hardware problem. Because you wipe all datas, made a clean flash and that more than once. But wait a bit, maybe a person which had the same prob can say it you. Or go and read a bit in the pac thread.

Yep it is very likely a hardware problem.
As this does not happen to other users.
Rather send your Z™ in repair.

After 1 days of researching Thanks to my SI I found the real original firmware and by another guide I downloaded the firmware by pc companion.. So now the problem is just one.. My sim card if I don't put the sim reboot because still searching, if I put a sim don't recoinize it and say "insert the rim and reboot" but ask me the pin of sim O.O, but if I turn THE FLIGHT MODE don't reboot and the sim work, like I can Import my contacts etc.. so the sim work too, the phone too , what's the problem then? O.O

up

Same issue with me. 1st, no sim error. After few days, its start to shutdown itself. But still can on. After that stuck at sony logo. Maybe radio related issue because it wont shut itself in recovery cwm nor twrp. But if I booting as usual, after several second it shutdown. Btw, production week 13W13

[SOLVED] Unbrick c5303 possible?

Hey Folks,
Yesterday I came accross a new firmware for my C5303 (Stock) Rom. Problem was, something went fishy on my computer and the upgrade process went south midways.
Probelm being: I have neither rooted, nor unlocked the bootloader.
Is there a way to unbrick? Unfortunatelly I have learned, that appart from other SONY devices, the SP is not so peachy when it comes to custom roms.
Current state:
The device is not recogniced by the flash tool of Sony, or the suite.
Could someone point fingers where to look for a solution?

You will have to flash an FTF file using "flashtool".
A search on this forum will surely point you in the right direction.
There are already plenty of guides.
Good luck!

I bricked mine yesterday at 11 pm,couldnt sleep right cause of the panic. xD
My C5303 has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER too,and I was stuck at the SONY logo.
I downloaded Flashtool.
I installed Flashtool.
This procedure is neccessary in order to install fastboot/flashmode/adb drivers.If you already did it,skip it.
If ur on windows 8,move ur mouse coursor to top right of the screen,a toolbar will appear.
Then click SETTINGS.Then click CHANGE PC SETTINGS.When it opens,select UPDATE & RECOVERY.Select RECOVERY.Select ADVANCED STARTUP.When it reboots,you will see a blue background and an option,i think it is TROUBLESHOOT,anyways,look for DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION.But as I remember,i was put with a choice of selecting a number,and i pressed 7-DISABLE DRIVER VERIFICATION.
The PC will boot like nothing is changed,but now u can install the drivers.
Go to Flashtool/drivers and open the installation program
Select "Flashmode drivers","fastboot drivers" and "common drivers for Viskan board(these are the ADB drivers ONLY for the Xperia SP)"
The PC will ask you to allow the driver installation,allow all of them.Reboot ur pc again,and connect ur phone in flashmode for the pc to link the flashmode drivers to ur Xperia SP,then u can begin.
Download this firmware FROM THIS LINK
http://www.xperiadownload.cz/phocadownload/userupload/download/2013/SP/C5303_12.1.A.1.205_CE.rar
extract the ftf file with any rar program,then move the .ftf file to the FIRMWARE folder in the directory where flashtool is installed,mine is C:/Flashtool.move the .ftf file into (DRIVE):/Flashtool/firmwares
Open Flashtool,select Flash with Flashmode,wait for the program to say that u can connect ur xperia sp with the PC.To enter Flashmode hold the Volume DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC.
I reccommend using the SONY cable,as i have a feeling it is the best one for these things.
Let Fashtool flash everything,do not touch the device at all until the Flashtool allows you to do so.

Thanks for all the answers so far...
I figured, taht in the flashtool the firmware for the device is not listet, although it is in the respektive directory. am I blind, or am I missing something?
It however does offer a X10 installation, what ever that is, when it is at home

Look for an FTF file on this forum.
Make sure you download and flash the correct one!
