[Q] Xperia Z1 C6603 stuck on Sony logo screen - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My Xperia Z1 C6603 stuck on Sony logo screen, and screen black out and goes back to Sony Logo Screen.
It was on 4.4.2, but I misread and thought it was 4.2.2, and followed the instructions here:
**I can't paste URL here, the title of the URL is "how to root sony xperia z c6603 on android 4.2.2 jelly bean official firmware"
After using the flashtool and flash "XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL.ftf" into my phone, it will be stuck in Sony screen......
Could someone help?

Pccompanion only wipes data if you repair the phone. If it updates the phone then it doesn't. Just as it says when you use it.

thanks for the URL link.
I've tried Pccompanion, but it doesn't work because the phone is in this cycle (boot up -> sony logo -> shut down cycle)

just press and hold the power and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times.

I found the TFT in xda thread: t2759241
it's about 900++MB, what exactly is TFT? do i flash it using flashtool? and will it wipe my phone apps?

Its not a TFT, its a FTF (F)lash(T)ool (F)ile
Yes use flashtool, if you exclude data it will not wipe your apps.

I have the phone model c6603, and looks like I can't find any ftf for c6603 and ending with 534...........mmmmm
was wondering if I can flash a c6903 to my c6603 and get it to work?

[LT30p] [SOLVED] Boot loop after downgrading with flashtool

Unsatisfied by the JB update of my xperia T, I downloaded flashtool and the ftf file to revert to ICS.
Procedure apparently went good, but at the restart the phone is looping on boot: I see 'sony', then 'xperia', then the animation starts but after a little it restarts again and again.
Probably my fault was to leave the 'wipe data' option unchecked.
How can I fix? I can't unplug the battery so I'm not able to go to flash mode and try again...

Press and hold the volume up and power button together
After 10 seconds it will vibrate.
Keep holding it untill it vibrates another 3 times.
Then enter flashmode and flash it properly this time

Even my Xperia T is in booloop.... I flashed many times, many kernels but none are working. It shows Sony logo (not even showing

If you have not unlocked the bootloader then just repair the phone using pccompanion.
What exactly have you flashed? Have you rooted? have you unlocked the bootloader?

After the phone went into boot loop, i unlocked the bootloader. then i tried SE tool Emma to downgrade to ICS, tried your kernel as well as more 2-3 kernels in combinations but nothing worked. I used flash tool and flashed several ICS and JB ftfs custom as well as modded but none worked yet.... It's still the same, reboots after the logo... In older ICS, it reboots after Xperia screen while in other FW, it reboots just after the sony logo...
Is this enough information to figure out the problem? What is the right comibnation of kernel and FW to start this phone ? It was purchased in UK and came with ICS....It was upgraded to JB without any problem and one day it just went into boot loop surprisingly....
Thank you for your time...
Search for the relock bootloader ftf in the dev section.
Flash that in flashtool (not emma)
Then run the repair software un pccompanion

Did as you said. Flashed the relocked bootloader through flashtool (not emma)... Used the PC companion and did a "recover" procedure...At the end it said "Xperia T was updated with 9.1.A.1.140"
The problem is still the same. It restarts after the sony logo....
What is the next procedure to try ?

That's is not good. After a pccompanion repair everything should be fine.
what was the last thing you flashed before the problem started?

Flashed nothing... Before the problem....the phone was updated to JB..It worked for 2 months and then suddenly one day, it freezes, when restarted ,it went into boot loop. That's what bugging me. The flash mode works fine, the quickboot works fine..i can flash any files without any problem, but with any rom or default FW, it restarts after the logo, so i wanna know the possibilities of the problem...
Is there any way with which i can fully format the internal drive and then flash the FW ? Is there a possibly of corrupt internal drive ?
I have had the same Problem, even with repair function of PCC. Only thing working for me was flashing original JB tft with flash tool. After that it bootet up normaly and everything was working again. (Bootloop stayed with ics tft, only jb tft worked)
I flashed jb tft->bootloader relock->jb tft

[Solved] Xperia T won't boot

My Xperia won't boot since yesterday, i'm stuck on the screen with the triangle with a wrench and a screwdriver. I saw some threads where they said you should wait, but it's been like this for the last 15 hours or something. I have tried searching for a solution but couldn't find a solution. The phone has the latest stock Jelly Bean firmware and is not rooted, any ideas how to fix this?
Edit: Sorry wrong section
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Try to turn it off. And flash FW via flashtool.

I don't really like that i first have to unlock the bootloader to do that. I have this phone only a few weeks so i can just get a new one from my carrier but that takes a lot of time. Is it possible to repair it with the Sony PC companion or ADB?
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Just plug it in and leave it, it's repairing itself.
If you keep turning it on or off it starts again.
As an aside you don't need to unlock to use flashtool.
If you can't wait then download and flash the same version with flashtool or use a pccompanion, repair option. If you won't wait you need to format data

The 15 hours i described was without turning it off and on, can it really take that long?
Re: [Q] Xperia T won't boot
Hold vol up and power until you feel the three vibrations, run pccompanion without the phone connected, choose the software repair option, connect phone when instructed, do not power up the phone before or you'll be straight back to the tools screen.

Thanks alot, that fixed it, getting my data back is easier than waiting for someone from Sony to repair my phone.

I bricked my XZ :(

Please help guys. I tried flashing ROM using the instructions on the front page for locked bootloader and my phone froze on formatting /system, I restarted phone and it is just stuck on Sony. I have tried holding power and volume up it does nothing except restart the device. My PC won't recognise it to do any repairs. Any ideas?
Keep pressing vol up + power for 15 sec till the phone shutdown.
Use flashtool to flash a stock ftf firmware.

Download flashtool from development section,and an ftf stock firmware.
Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware folder.
Install xperia z drivers,you find it in flashtool/drivers
Click on flash,choose the ftf and wait the the pop up telling you to connect your phone by holding volume down and connecting the usb.

I don't know if there is an easier way cause i didn't tried the recovery available.
All you can do is doing all steps again and install the recovery than restore your backup.

firmware on my device so i entered the install from sdcard menu without even thinking much about it i located the .zip file and installed it and clicked reboot and then absolutley nothing but the boot vibration went off and the screen stays black and it is stuck here . so i used to old powr+ vol up for 3-15 secs and waited for the double vibration and still nothing happens .so im stuck.
sorry for the long post but i`m in a panic as this phone is fairly new about 1 month old and i had already rooted and unlocked boot loader on it so .i hope the info helps you to help me

Sounds to me like you haven't flashed the kernel required for 4.2.2 (I am presuming you were on a stock/custom Sony ROM before)
If you flash 4.2.2 you also need to flash the kernel specific to the ROM you've tried to flash using fastboot commands.
To do that you need to have the correct XZ drivers installed, and have adb/fastboot working

[Q] Don't know what to do with C6603.. HElP!

Hello Guys..
I need your help... Problem with my Xperia z C6603.
phone able to:
Vibrate 1 and 3x when power and + button used.
With led notification.
Problems:
can't turn on my phone
when charging Until sony logo only then turn off
when turn on sony logo and red notification then turn on
I Tried:
Flashing many times already-still the same problem
Emma- Still the same
SUS-Cant use...notify until July 1 etc.
PC companion-unable to update error
S1tool- error 01000000
What should i do, what is the problem?
Need help please..followed all flashing instructions in xda and other forums
Try Uninstalling PC Companion and make sure all PC Companion files are deleted in your computer. Download the latest version and reinstall it. Also is your phone unlocked? And if so did you use a program called S1tool? If so uninstall that program and make sure all of S1tools files are deleted.
Now try successfully fixing your phone through PC Companion.
Done that Already.
Still no progress...when pressing the Switch Button 3x red light blinking, when charging it Sony logo comes out then Turn Off.
T_T
How did it happen?
Have you unlocked bootloader?
If not and you have TA partition backup, you can give a try to unlock your bootloader via fastboot and then flash any custom ROM

This happened to me when I accidentally flashed a Xperia z1 ftf to my Xperia z all I had to do was get a full stock Xperia z ftf get Flash tools ready and when it says to plug phone in flash mode you press and hold all 3 buttons (power,vol+and vol-) all at the same time till it vibrates once then let go of the power button and vol+ but keep holding vol - while plugging in the usb cable this will boot your phone into flash mode
And remember to have all whipe options ticked in flashtools
Hope I.helped
