Hello
i found some instructions to hard reset the phone:
If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:
Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
Press and release the Power button
Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i tried this with holding the buttons for more than a minute but nothing happened...
The moment i released both buttons, the SE logo appears, but the phone hangs again...
anyone an idea?
tx!
so i think i bricked my phone...
I have read this in the 'bootloader unlocked' topic:
Please remind people that if the bootloader gets f**ed up somehow in the process, the phone gets bricked, truly bricked, with no way to unbrick unless it's sent to SE or if you can connect it to the computer tru jtag/service header.

What is jtag/service header?

Try to reinstall firmware with SEUS or FlashTool

Thanks!
But i tried, without luck. I posted in that topic.
grz.
EDIT: Tx for the great program! It did its job!
I'm back on the SE interface.
Next step, root + CRom
After searching around I couldn't find anything related so here's my problem.
After succesfully unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia Z it continues to work fine.
It prompted the initial startup screen (enter language, account info ect.)
I turned my device off and on... this is where the problem starts..
This is what i get
Sony brand logo>
Xperia brand logo>
5 repeated cloud animation of xperia logo and at the last one it stalls, Phone reboot and back to 0.
This goes on repeatedly until a hard poweroff or complete discharge ( I suppose)
So I know im kinda screwed, is relocking the bootloader any option? Contacting Sony atm for some sort of software replacement/flash anything..
Cheers, Geert
Try the safe mode,keep pressing vol down with power until the phone boot completely.
If the phone boot to safe mode than do a factory reset.

Welcome to XDA
you should go to the recovery thread in my signature. Read the first 2 posts.
Hope you recover your phone.
Hi everyone !
I have the same problem as GeertNool. My Xperia is stuck in the same loop. I have tried everything.
- Flashboot : stuck at 0% when i try to flash
- Pc Companion and SEUS = dead ends
- Safe mode : cant make it work
I read the recovery thread. It seems that the Kernel is malfunctioning but i dont understand what should be my next move. Am i supposed to let the phone reboot endlessly untill eventually the battery dies ?
Thanks a lot for your precious answers.

Yes.
When the battery dies the phone should reset itself.
After the loops end plug into a charger, not pc for now.
You should get a red led indicating low battery level charging is working.
After the red led you may get Sony boot screen or bootloops.
If you get Sony and then the charging battery icon, then charge to over 50%. Then use pc companion or flashtool to restore.
If you get bootloops then read my 2nd post from the recovery thread in my signature for bootloop tricks.
Please let me know if it works. I am looking to add the Xperia Z to my recovery guide.
If there are any questions about my guide please ask in that thread.
Thanks

Try this: hold power and VolUp for about 15 seconds. The device should vibrate 3 times in a row. It should now be off. Don't plug it in anywhere.

i will try to flash it using flashtool. thanks for your help mate
had the same problem and i managed to fix it just showing sony sign by installing the sony update programme on the sony update website
all you do is put phone into flashboot mode.
on mine i had to hold up and power button untill it vibrates 3 times then press down volume button to get it into flashboot mode
takes a few atempts but it worked.
takes around 20 mins to download then install another 10.
i couldnt get flashtool to flash firmware as my phone is locked on 3 mobile firmware locked bootloader
i hope this helps you
update:
schaggo method works. i can breath now. thanks to @gm007
This worked great for unbricking mine !!
P.S. don't waste time for Sony's Emma flash, they do not send login credentials in real time, site says they do manual user validation ...

I have the same issue here, the phone suddenly dead. Charge it using AC adaptor and wall socket and the red led flashs for about 2 hours, the orange LED never turns on. Try your advice and got this:
1) Vol up + Power not work (no vibration, nothing)
2) Flash with flashtool 0.9.10.2 beta6 with no lucky, indicated "device disconnected" after animation gone.
3) regress to flashtool 0.9.10.1, device connected and then stuck at "flashing data.....", the progress bar stay at 0% and then nothing.
P.S. bootloader is still locked but phone is ROOTED so I'm affraid it's out of warranty. Just got the phone as a birthday gift from my wife yesterday! She'd kill me if she knows that.
Update:
1) Power + Vol Up works now. The sequence does matter, I found I have to press the Power button first and then Vol Up, it dosen't work vise versa.
2) flashing still doesn't work for me. And I noticed that the LED turn green and then turn off immediately. I'm not sure if that is the cause. I'm sure when in fastboot mode (connect to USB port when pressing Vol Up), the LED turn blue and stay blue. Is my flash mode corrupted?? That's really bad!

Try sony update service or remove flashtool and install again and use another firmware(maybe the first one is corrupted).

Hey guys,
I've flashed [ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1][AOKP-MR1][PananoidAndroid 3.15] PAC v22.1.1 - Update: 0508 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249&page=65.

This requires to install stock 10.1.A.1.434 firstly So I downloaded C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Generic DE, NL, world. Flashing with Flashtools 0.9.10.1 always stucks at 0%.
BL unlocked. Does anyone have any idea how to get stock 434 in the phone? Originally there were older one 10.1.A.1.340, if it's somehow important to know...

Anyone here would give some suggestion or solution to help me overcome this issues? :crying:
Thanks for all in advance.

Is it stuck at the white HTC splash screen that says quietly brilliant or the boot up animation screen that has the beats logo on it?
If stuck at the splash screen just hold power and both volume keys to force a reboot and see if it boots up then. If it is stuck during the boot animation you may have to try a factory reset.
You may still be able to do a factory reset depending on where the update failed.
Hold power and Vol down for until it boots into the bootloader. Then press the power button again to select bootloader. In the bootloader list you should see factory rest, use volume keys to highlight it and power to select it.
This will wipe all your data you had saved on the internal storage, but that would be better than a non booting phone.
Best of luck.

Hi crushalot,
Thanks for your advices and Yes it stuck in the white screen with quietly brilliant. I have tried your solution which boot into bootloader and did the factory reset, but too bad, it doesn't make my day.

Crushalot I have a similar issue with my HTC one like xiang5377. Except my phone is stock no root nothing, actually it was given to me to root. It has been a long time since I have rooted a phone and im lost here. My friend got the phone online which might have been his first mistake, second I believe it was from China. In any case lt me explain what has gone on, I have been looking for instructions in unlocking bootloader in fastboot mode which is not an issue, I found it but I am unable to get to the bootloader by pressing power key and VOL down.....strange so I looked under settings to turn off fastboot and the option wasn't there at all. When I press VOl down and power key it goes to some strange looking menue in Chinese REALY! OK so I searched Google and fopund a post that suggested it might be a fake. So I tried VOL up and power key and it took me another strange looking screen. I actually had the option for "normal" "fastboot" and something else:fingers-crossed: Nothin stayed at that same screen for ever....so I pressed VOl down and power and it reset. I went back to that screen gain picked the one option should not have and now im stuck at htc quietly brilliant sceen:crying: I have tried all kinds of key options and still nothing NED HELP!! I am unsure if the phone is internal sprint T-Mobile etc... 100% stock.

Might need some screen shots. It sounds like it may be a fake HTC One. Can you look at the bootloader screen on this fake and see if yours is similar:

Or look here:

If it is one the fakes then I'm not sure what to advise other than trying to return it and get a genuine unit.
If it is real then we might be able to do something. Are you able to reboot it by holding both volumes (up and down) plus the power buttons for 15+ seconds? It should cause it to reboot.

NO joy on reboot. I looked at that video and it seems to be the fake one, might explain why I wasn't able to get to the bootloader normally. This sucks now I will have to explain to my lieutenant that he got a fake one and I might have bricked it lol! What would you try next if it were real, or will I have to wait till it dies and still run the risk of it not booting up normally again. I was never able to get to normal bootloader.
---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------
Also looking at the video, it had the same black menu not the white menu I have seen in other videos, indicating a newer OS. It also did not show fastboot option under settings/power option
http://imageupload.co.uk/files/36ha7p8hdv926l90b0l6.jpg
On the pic above I actually clicked on: [UART Boot] option and im stuck
If it was real, it would respond to the normal reboot commands and allow us to reboot the OS if working or boot to fastboot so we can use fastboot commands to see exactly what we were working with and decide the next move.
In you case, you may just have to wait until the battery dies and then perhaps it will boot normally, as it seems the clones don't have the same button commands to perform operations. You could try different combinations of button holding to see if it will reboot.
There may also be some more information on the Chinese forums, but could be hard for a English speaker to navigate and fin the info needed.
If the seller sold the device as a genuine HTC One then, obviously that is illegal and you could try to use that angle to force them to return it.
Best of luck.

Thanks I really do appreciate it, I have attempted several button configs lol and still nothing. Looks like I have no choice but to wait till it dies and pray that it boots normally. I will check with my LT to see if it was sold as a genuine HTC ONE. It was on EBAY I believe so we will see. Thanks again will let you know what happens then!:good:

The menu with Chicness come by pressing VOL DOWN/POWER KEY
The menu with fastboot option comes by pressing VOL UP/POWER KEY
I have wiped the system accidentally in the twcp recovery. Now I cannot get past the Sony logo and cannot go into recovery mode (i have tried pressing vol up/down after power off but no avail). I have tried the flashtool but cannot detect USB connection. I was able to turn off by pressing power + volume up and that's all I can do. Please help. Thank you
anyone? please help
Power + volume up until it vibrates.
Then, immediately press volume down and connect to PC (or else it goes in bootloop again) and start Flashtool (you need to flash a clean stock firmware now).
You have to be very very fast!
What was your battery charge percentage when it has happened? Don't let it fully discharge, because you are not able to recharge it anymore until you can flash a kernel again. Be careful

I usually get to recovery by powering off, then power on, as soon as you see the LED come on, tap vol up a few times. Have you tried that.

Open Flashtool and flash a proper FTF stock firmware, when it asks to connect the device, press power and volume-up, and soon after vibrating, connect with volume-down pressed.
It should work...

I was able to connect my phone but say 'the phone is locked'.
Guess I have no other choice but to unlock the bootloader now. ?

No that is just weird. Flashtool allows flashing of ftf on locked or unlocked bootloader. Find a proper generic ftf and flash it.

It won't go into fastboot. But flashmode yes definitely. First set up flashtool for flashing. And when the prompt comes to connect your phone, connect your phone in flashmode then

+1. If it does not boot into recovery/fastboot, flashmode should be still available. Are you using correct drivers, flashtool, firmware?

It's normal. If it's locked, Flashtool says that it's locked.
It's reading your status, it's not a request.
We all are telling you the same thing, so trust us and follow our instructions with patience.
You don't need to unlock at all.
Don't let it discharge completely or you'll get really in trouble!
Thanks for all your help. However, I was so desperate I just went to unlock the bootloader Now i am able to enjoy my phone again. Downside is drm keys are lost and my all my images are now crap.
Would there be any chance to recover my drm keys? Thanks again for your help!

If you've never made a TA-backup after rooting, then they are lost forever... no way to get them back.

This is why almost every walk through says the first thing you should do is backup your keys to a safe place after rooting. (do not pass go, do not collect $200) The unlocking process specifically overwrites them as the first step. I think the only way to get keys "back" is to pay to have the system board replaced in the phone by Sony with one with new keys. $$$

You can try this to restore the functions lost with no DRM keys http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

Yes, true.
Anyway, it's easier to sell the unlocked device to someone who doesn't care about it at a low price, add some money and re-buy a locked one

True, but it restores only some functions, but it helps for sure :good:

Actually I had a backup. But I forgot to "backup" my backup files before I surrendered my laptop to my employer. Sucks to be me.

Thanks! Will definitely look into this.
Exact problem step by step
I press power button to turn ON the phone
Moto M logo appears less than a second and screen goes black
Again M logo appears and screen goes black - this loops indefinitely
USB debugging and Bootloader unlock is NOT enabled - no option to reflash stock or change OS
Haven't opened up the device physically yet. Any soft troubleshooting steps appreciated
Maybe this will help?
You're best bet is either getting back to where your bought the phone (with warranty) and getting another one if you can't do that try getting to your phones (Stock) Recovery and from there hard resting your phone (wiping your date and cache) if all that didn't work for you try fixing your phone at your local Motorola/Lenovo center
Sorry for the horrible English and the inclusive tutorial would hope you the best with you phone the.

Thanks, I guess i'll take it to local repair shop, this phone is out of warranty and approaching Motorola center (Out of warranty repair) would cost me the price of another phone.

Hi thanks for the suggestion, I tried the Rescue option and it did flash with stock ROM about 1.4GB but did not help. Goes in boot loop again - Now i can confirm that this phone is dead due to hardware problem. Will take it to local repair shop (post covid19 lockdown lift) and see if it helps.

I'm having the same problem. I can not find a fix anywhere. But I can get into my phone temporarily so I thought I would share this with you:
While the phone is flashing the blue screen, hold down the power button and the down volume button for about 5-10 seconds... the recovery screen will appear... then you HAVE TO PLUG a usb data cable into your phone and connect it to a computer. Once the connection is secure, you can select RECOVERY MODE from the menu with the volume arrow keys... then tap the power button to select RECOVERY. Blue screen for about 10 seconds then it goes to the little dead green robot with a red exclamation point. hold down the power button, then tap the UP VOLUME key... this will take you to the Recovery menu.... now select Reboot system now. and the phone will boot up and work normally... UNLESS you unplug it from the computer, then it will immediately go back to Blue Strobe Light mode. Hope this works for you so you can recover some data if you need to.
I did a factory reset like this and still get the flashing. no boot. I found this thread looking for a fix, but alas there seems to be none. so going back to samsung when i can get to a store.
Please share solution you found
