no way man!its not a soft brick! you cant use flash mode or fastboot mode . just emergency mode ! and thats not working for me neither.
dont know what to do... seems its dead

What is emergency mode?
If there is no response then stick it on charge for 24 hours, do not touch it then try flashing a stock FTF again

Greg is trying to help you mate.
And he's right, there's a time difference and you have to wait for guys to see your thread...
Check do you have latest flashtool
Check do you have correct drivers
Check is your ftf corrupted (download a new one)
, hard restart your device (vol up+power).
Open flashtool and hit start, wait till flashtool prepares fw and ask you to connect device.
Then connect device.
If that won't work, try to download another ftf file...
Maybe you have corrupted ftf and that's causing a problem...

Uff...
Are you sure you restored right/yours TS backup?
I have a friend who restored Z1 TA backup to Z2, this things happen so who knows...
It's really odd if you restored your backup on stock fw and something like that happened..
Now I realized you wrote "I had flashtool problems..."
I thought you have problems in flashtool now, that's why I said try with another ftf or another flashtool version...
If you got that, and you did, while you were flashing ftf....I believe you are, unfortunately, right, this is hard brick.
BTW - which firmware you tried to flash?

you need to be on a stock kernel if you relock the bootloader.
You should have flashed a stock FTF immediately after relocking and before restarting.
The solution is to flash a stock FTF
and you have not done this yet

I tried to install magisk using bridge approach
and ended up with something that will get to just bluelight ( flashboot ?) mode . I am downloading a stock T-Mob FTF. J-FYI this is an operator locked boot loader. I dunno - is it poss to permanently unlock it and install Cust ROM ? I want to :
-- Recover my data from the dead prev . install
--Have a ROM ( stock or custom ) with Magisk installed.
My plan :
-- Flashtool install 4.4 FTF
-- _______________ <----- Need help here. How do I get magisk working ?
Note that AFAIK for locked bootloader , /system is RO

Super Combo problem in my xperia x8.....

Well this is my first post here.
To be very short this is not a totally new problem. This is a combination of many problems that has made me totally helpless.
I had rooted my device using x8toolbox beta4, and installed a Gingerxperia V21 custom ROM.
After that i tried unlocking the bootloader, but flashtools continuously kept saying that my device was in MTP mode and strange enough there was no option in my phone's settings to change it.
So I went back to x8toolbox planning on installing the stock ROM back, when i saw busybox installer within.
I installed busybox 1.19.0 and then i asked x8toolbox to check the digitizer on my phone, AND THERE IT STARTED REBOOTING OVE AND OVER.
So now my phone can't connect to my pc for PCC repair or flashtools as MTP mode can't be switched off (and my phone won't turn on for the sd card to be read). And i am stuck with the Sony Ericsson Logo.
Please help me.....thanks in advance.
U have soft bricked your x8.
U can reset your x8 to original 2.1 with the help of following steps.
It's easy. Do it and rooted your phone again
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570523
Officially corp via W8
Or just try Flashtool
i think your problem is flashing driver.. try to install on /flashtool/drivers/ the name of drivers is gordon gate.. but if your have a same problem after installed drivers, check your drivers on my computer/drivers.. or try for flashing on other computer..

Thanks for your answer..... But as I said my phone is still in MTP mode and doesn't seem to snap out of it. As i plug in my phone it turns on the green light and then starts rebooting as usual. Is it my driver 's issue? or is it just the mtp mode?? flashtool also says the same thing..:crying:
U cant keep it longer.
Open flashtool then select firmware and ok.
Wait till a screen appear.
Now connect ur phone by holiding back button.

But flashtools shows ERROR and flashing aborted and says that for 2011 line devices make sure your device is not in mtp mode....
Flashtools doesn't work that way....

It can't be, 3 weeks ago I had the same problem (MTP) .
I can't even install Apps via flashtool, so I try to connect to flashmode.
It works.
As I said try to Re-install windows.
Good Luck.

[Q] Bricked Xperia Z, help please?

I've looked through all the threads and nothing's worked for me yet, so this is my last resort.
I somehow messed up flashing CM 10 from the free xperia project and my phone would only get to recovery. I then tried to re-flash the advanced stock kernel which I had on there before, but then I lost recovery too. I could only get to fastboot and flashmode. I tried SUS but got nowhere because I have modified firmware on the device. I tried using flashtool to re-install stock firmware but it got stuck on flashing data, so I closed the window. I think this must have been a big mistake because now I can't even get into fastboot mode. I still get the device connected sound when I plug it into my computer. It then disconnects and reconnects a few times, before finally disconnecting.
What should I do?
Edit: I've suddenly managed to get into fastboot mode (blue LED), is this all that is needed?

Isn't SUS (Sony Updater Service) the repair tool? I couldn't use it because it wouldn't let me - I had modified firmware on the device and it detected that. Anyway, I actually managed to get it fixed. I was unfortunately using the wrong version of flashtool. I was using 0.9.10.1 whereas 0.9.10.2beta4 is needed for the Xperia Z. The earlier version would get stuck on flashing data. I then just flashed the stock firmware and it worked fine. What was really odd though was sometimes it would enter flash mode fine (pressing volume up while connecting USB) but other times it wouldn't. I think this might have been because it was getting low on charge.

my Z is dead

You also should know that PC Companion doesn't work for unlocked devices, so forget about it if you are unlocked.

Your phone need to be shutdown for the flashmode (download mode) so the USB debugging has nothing to do, you just need to shutdown the phone, press the - volume button and plug the USB cable in same time when it asked.
Have you tried to connect the device via fastboot, flash a standalone kernel with a recovery included and flash a rom via recovery?(DoomKernel for example).
Maybe this is a bit too much information if you are new to unlocked bootloaders, but all the steps are well detailed on development section of the forum, search a bit for fastboot instructions and drivers needed, then head on to DoomKernel thread for a standalone kernel. And sorry I cant give you links and stuff, I'm on the phone and it is quite a trip to provide all the links.

Restore it with Sony Update Service and resize your ****in photo DUDE!
PS: Do you really destroyed your screen
I would say its drivers too; have you tried reinstalling flashtool and drivers.
Does your pc make a sound when you connect your phone in flash mode; does it recognise it?
Also, may be a weird one but, is your battery charged over 50%.
If you want to use SUS or PC Companion you have to relock your Bootloader first by restoring your TA partition considering you backed it up

[Q] Phone keeps waking up while in flashmode

Hello. I'm trying to root my device by downgrading it first. So i need to flash the rom. I had my phone in flashmode. But in a minute or two the phone will wake up. And i can't continue my flashing because of that. Anyone know supposed to be the problem? Sorry im noob at this stuff
Don't connect ur phone in flash mode until flash tool asks for it. The moment flash tool indicates u to connect ur device on, only then connect it in flash mode. Once u load the ftf in flashtool, it takes a min to process the files after which it notifies for u to connect ur phone. Cheers

Yeah i did redownload it. It's still the same. My XZ is 10.4.B.0.101 and i'm trying to downgrade it to 10.3.1.A.2.67. And my device is 4.3. Don't know if it's the firmware that i'm downgrading or what..
Next time please post in the Q/A section which is DIRECTLY BELOW the general section.
Also tagging a post as a question in the general section will bring up a prompt telling you it doesn't belong here if i recall correctly..

Download the ftf from other place. Maybe the site you downloaded from has uploaded a damaged ftf:
And for your first problem try reinstall flashtool and when the device turn on when you in flashmode hold vol+ and power button for 15 seconds
Hope that helped:angel:

After flashing doomkernel you stuck in to the bootloop?
Reinstall flashtool and the drivers and try it again.
Just for your information: SUS and PCC method won't work because the unlocked bootloader. You can just use EMMA and flashtool to repair your XZ now.

You were replying to a post that concerned Flashtool failing to flash, so by logic I assumed that your question concerned that only.
Anyway, no need for the sarcasm with the rolleyes emoji. There was no malice in my post. I was simply passing on information that you may find useful in future.
