I have rooted my Xperia Z. I tried to apply custom font through iFont (Segoe UI, basically what I did was copying the font from Windows 8.1, to phone's internal storage, Xperia Z\Internal Storage\ifont\custom), I opened the app, tapped on the font and then applied it. Since the next step is to reboot the phone, I did so. The phone is now in a bootloop state, it shows the SONY logo, then XPERIA, then the colorful wave. During the wave, it lasts no longer than 1 second, the wave animation always gets stuck halfway across the screen, then goes back to SONY logo, XPERIA logo, the wave and repeats the boot.
I have tried some of the methods such as booting the phone into Recovery Mode. I was told to power off the phone, start it, then when pink LED lights up I have to quickly press Volume Up multiple times until the screen shows the Android logo (which is the green robot). The situation my phone in isn't quite like the expected; since it's in bootloop state, I have to force restart it (by holding Power button + Volume up and wait for a vibration), quickly pressed volume up several times. However, the LED only lights up blue color (not flashing), the screen stays black and nothing seems to be happening until a force restart is initiated.
Right now I don't think flashing ROMs or restore phone to factory setting are the solutions for me because I only started using this Xperia Z recently and didn't make a backup (who knew it'd be so fast that I literally killed it).
By the way, is there a possible way to access files during the blue LED part?

You have working custom recovery? (cwm)?

Just flash the firmware using flashtool.
Just untick the datawipe box. :highfive:

Hello everyone. I have had my Droid Bionic since day one and I have never had an issue with it. It has been wonderful.
Until today. I am on the stock OS. I had a Live Wallpaper that showed a little Android figure that melts based on the percentage of my battery. I went into my Gallery and clicked on "Set As Wallpaper" on an image I took with my camera on the phone.
At the bottom of the phone, a small popup showed up that said "COMPLETED". When I went to the home screen, there was no wallpaper in the background. It was just black, though the icons were still there and it was responsive. I thought maybe the image was corrupt, so I went and tried another image.
This caused the phone to reboot. When it rebooted, there was a notification bar, the time, the lock screen, and a thing that said No Signal. I tried to unlock it, but the phone was unresponsive.
Then I got a text message, even though I had no signal. The notification light was blinking. I could not unlock the phone. I hit the sleep button, and it went to sleep. I tried hitting it again, and it would not wake up.
I tried pulling the battery and putting it back in, and now it won't properly boot. Right when it boots, it goes to sleep (the little shutdown animation). I texted myself from my sister's phone and the notification light blinks, the phone vibrates, and the screen turns on and shows I have a text on the notification bar. The screen and the buttons are completely unresponsive, however.
I tried calling myself from my home line and I could pick up the call just fine and end the call. I could not, however, go back to the home screen while on the call. The capacitive buttons on the bottom were completely unresponsive. When I hung up the call (by touch), it went to a completely black screen with the notification bar showing that I had some text messages and the time and my service, etc.
I have rebooted the phone five times now by removing the battery and it keeps going to this. I have never rooted the phone (I wouldn't even know how to) and I am concerned because of all of the information that I have saved on the phone.
Yes I have tried removing the SD card. Didn't help.
Any suggestions? :/
UPDATE: Now the phone doesn't even boot, it gets stuck at the Red Eye spinning logo. It vibrates twice and the notification light begins blinking, meaning it is letting me know that I have received text messages... but it isn't actually booting to the Android home screen. Really strange...
You should fxz back to stock
It will wipe your application data but not you're sdcard info or internal storage

Hard reset using all three external buttons
Try doing a hard reset - it's one of those things they only tell you about at the Verizon store when you're stuck:
Once you have the phone on and at least responsive, press and hold BOTH volume keys, then hold the power button down for 10 seconds (it's really about 6, but 10 will do it for sure). This procedure can also be done to force a reboot when you load a gnarly application that sux and locks your phone up - without having to disassemble everything and pull the battery.
Hopefully with any luck, you're phone will do a back-flip and come up!
Ok so I'm rooted and updated to the latest firmware (see pic below)
Since the phone has had the latest update the phone randomly reboots, then takes ages to load up, when I press the power button to turn off my screen, the back lighting stays on ( like looking at a lit up black screen) I press the power button to wake the screen up but nothing! So I'm having to hold both the power button and up volume to do a hard reset, the phone boots up but after the Sony logo I just get a black light screen for about a minute!?? Then everything just repeats it's self! Ahhh
Can some give me any helpful advice? Many thanks

You could first try to reflash the same firmware, remember to UNCHECK "DATA" under the wipe settings. Other than that I'd recommend a full reinstall, that also means wiping data. (just make a backup with Titanium Backup)
sorted with a full re-store
I relocked bootloader, updated to .253, then unlocked bootloader. Right after that, I installed a rootable kernel, booted into TWRP, installed DRM restore, SuperSU 2.74, and the new Nexus launcher. It booted fine, and I set up everything to what I had before. I then decided to restart to access TWRP to reflash the Nexus launcher as it didn't show up. After the phone shut down, it began blinking red light. I tried to force shut it down, but it didn't do anything. I tried to get to fastboot and flashmode, but the blinking red light was prevalent. However, the Sony logo showed up if I mash down on volume down and power. So I doubt that my phone is dead and only accessible through QHSUSB_DLOAD. But it's pissing me off.
Any help? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and it was 40%.
Entire situation of physical input:
1) Plug in USB=Red LED
2) Power+Vol Up=Force shut down with 3 vibrations after turned on by Power+Vol Down
3) Power+Vol Down=Turns on to Sony and Xperia screen, then shuts down
4) Power=Vibrates once, turns off
I have the same issue, Could you fix it?
2 years ago I was trying to download an app that my Sony Xperia LT30at wouldn't allow me to download. I somehow ended up in the build.prop file changing something, I don't remember what, and when I rebooted, the phone was ina bootloop. I did some research and found out I could fix it with ADB. Well that didn't go well as my phone wouldn't boot into recovery. This phone only has volume+, volume-, both, power, and a dedicated camera button. I have tried resetting the battery by holding volume up and power until the phone vibrates once, doing the same until it vibrates 3 times, which is supposed to do something else, using the normal method of volume down and power to put it in recovery mode, and pretty much every other button combination possible. As for the bootloop, I turn on the phone, and the phones led indicator turns green and the device connects to my computer, then the led goes away, the phone disconnects from the computer, and i see the SONY logo, then after about 5 seconds the phone boots off, and then the whole cycle starts again.
So to recap, the phone is in a bootloop, and also won't boot to recovery, both after editing build.prop (from what i remember.), the phone won't connect to adb, even though usb debugging WAS enabled before this all happened. This phone has been worked on by me for 2 years now, off and on, and I just cannot get it to work.
Oh! And the phone should be on android Jelly Bean, if that helps any!
Thanks!

Hi, so I got an A2 which has been submerged in water for a while. I was not turning on at all (just showing the white led light blinking), so I bought a new USB part and battery for it, replaced it, and now it seems to react.
However, it keeps switching between the charging logo for a second, then vibrates and shows the Android One logo (this switch goes on and on forever). I have tried the button combo to go into recovery, but as soon as the Android recovery boot logo appears, it'll still timeout into the charging logo.
Does anyone know what may be going on? Or what component to replace? (the phone was only days old when it accidentally got soaked, so everything is new and it's a shame to just throw it away)
