Soft - bricked my xperia T, need HELP (SOLVED)

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here in xda,
I have a problem with my xperia T, it boot loops (starts up by showing the manufacturer logo, then shuts down, then starts up again)
and i didnt unlock my bootloader, and i didnt install CWM, no backups either
I only rooted the phone for the sake of chainfire, and when i installed it, it asked me to restart the phone and from there on the problem started.
I tried fastboot mode, but after 3-4 secs, the blue light disappears and the phone starts boot looping again,
I need help from you guys,
thanks y'all in advance

How do i do that? Sorry, im a newbie..
I think the pc companion cannot restore my phone since it cant recognize it. It starts up, then it shuts down after 3-4 secs
Also i dont see a back up and restore menu on my pc companion,

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts

you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

Soft brick ??!!

hey guys,
I think my phone is bricked . I was trying to install a second rom with the help of Mithun's Rom Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425946) and when I tried to flash it it said no errors BUT when it shutdown the device didn't boot at all.
th thing that DON'T WORK is my display and my LED(it has to become purple before entering recovery), I already tried to connect the phone with flashtool doesn't see my device
the things THAT work are the LED(when I put in charger), hard reset with vibration(power + vol up 10sec) and hard shutdown with vibration(power + vol up 15sec)
please help me get any rom/recovery back
For the record I have a LTE version Xperia Z (C6603)

my communication with flashtool is restored(windows 8 driver reinstall resolved the communication) but I'm still unable to flash something.

Try SUS. You might lose everything but at least your phone will work.
Whoever said it can't rain all the time never went to England.

[Q] Black screen ! Tried resetting

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?

Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Sorry,

Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific

Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool

Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work

Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device

Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up

run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..

Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer

what computer do you have?
Windows 8?

Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?

seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers

Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening

Try another computer

[Q] xperia sp stuck on boot animation after restarting again and again

hi i am new here. yesterday i flashed existenz 2.0 rom on sony xperia sp. All went right. then i flashed boot animation on it . then i restarted but it stucks on animation. now nothing is happening i have tried charging it but i think it doesnot do charging in switch off mode, so it starts again and does some charging then on animation it stucks and charging stopps and then after some time it drains the battery and gets swiched off. Then again this process continues. it is not going into recovery mode, flash mode , fastboot mode.
so if you can help me in this situation. pleeassssse

Sounds like a pretty bad bootloop does your PC recognise anything when you connect it? You need to go back to stock or at least to a working ROM. The long and short of it is to fix it you are going to need adb, recovery (if you have a nandroid backup) or flash mode. If you can't get any of them I think its bricked

i had similair problem to this no fastboot because of rebooting problem i had to take back off phone press and hold hard reset button with a pen and connect usb while pressing up all at the same bloody time not that easy but it did go to fastboot after a few attempts (might not work first time keep trying took me about 5 attemps)good luck

Are your Xperia Bootloader is unlocked? To install the custom ROM, you need to unlock the bootloader.

for connecting to fastboot mode my phone should be charged about 20% but the problem is its not charging.

Any idea how much charge is in the phone? I think you will have to keep trying to get into fastboot or recovery try power and then vol up/down or camera depending on what your recovery is I can send you a full nandroid backup of stock if you need one. You need to break into the boot cycle get into recovery (i am assuming you have installed a recovery on this device) timing will probably have a lot to do with it.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

make sure to use the stock sony usb cable as i think flashmode doesnt work well with other usb cables. also try the other usb ports on your computer. technically,you should still be able to enter flashmode and recovery.

no idea about charge?

[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

Tried another ftf? Maybe this one is damaged.

Yes Sir... I tried it already...stock FTF using Flashtool (Used almost all in XDA forum) I purchased my c6603 from the philippines(maybe this can help.) , used also PC companion still no success.

When I remove my charger it turns off then when i press the on button i see a led light (RED) and it blinks 3 times... and im stuck in this.

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
