i dont know what to do. my phone isnt rooted or anything. i didnt even attempt to root after the update. nothing. just restarting the phone :/

flashtool

The only thing you can do in situations like this, as told in every such thread, is reflash with the flashtool.

Will FlashTool pick it up when connecting via Vol -Up? If so, try pushing the FTF again,even a different FTF?

i will try when i get home to see if it will pickup the flashtool.
it kinda sucks tho. why it did this ? i didnt even install anything in the stupid thing aside from few games. jesus.

What FTF did you use ? I would suggest using another just in case, you may / may not need to wipe data

the one from the main thread :/. " not the one with the typo "
i think its from singapore one ? because it had some stuff from that country.
i will go home in 1 hour or so and try to flash without wipe.
finger crossed :/

its not accepting the flashtool.
i turn the device off. i click on the back botton. but nothing.
the log says the file is connected in fast boot mode. but there is nothing . i still get the pop screen that shows the instructions how to plug your device.
any help

ok. by miracle i got it to work. but i am not sure what happened and why it did this.
all good i guess :/
also, i wonder if there is an official version of this. not bloated with weird stuff. like euro version or something.
also. one more question.
is there a root for this ?

Reinstall the software with sony update service is what you have to do
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
glad to read that is fixed ..

I had this same issue yesterday. I installed the the update from the India c6602. Things were working fine the first day. I did a reset and then had the same issue as the OP had.
A re-flash with the flashtool didn't work the first time and the I tried the Sony companion fix option, and still had problems. Then I realized I had to install the drivers. Are you on windows 8? did you install the drivers that came with the flashtool? I did and then re-flashed, and now its fine again.

Most people seem to have flashed the Global FTF, you could reflash the old firmware, then when you plug into PC Companion it should flick up the update for you/your region.
I would just flash Global

Xperia TX bricked (only showing sony logo then a triangle with an exclamation mark)

Please help me guys, I have no one else to turn to. My parents are gonna kill me if they find out what I did to my phone.
So my phone accidentally fell at school with the bluetooth still on.So I put the battery pack, power it on, but then it started to go on a boot loop i.e.
Sony logo-->Xperia Logo-->color animation-->black screen. But after 3-4 hours, it managed to do a complete boot! But I noticed that the bluetooth wasnt turning on. So stupid me, I restarted the device, then it started to go on a boot loop again. I got home and I tried it a couple of times more with the power and volume rocker combinations... didnt work either.
I even started using pc companion. didnt work (kept on doing the same thing
SUS --> same thing
NOW: I tried it using a different computer so I went to an internet shop and downloaded pcc and sus. I started pc companion... but halfway through the download... MY PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY and didnt finish the update. :'( Now, whenever I'm booting the phone, I only get the Sony logo and A TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK AND A PHONE UNDERNEATH.....
PLEASE HELP ME! My Phone is a Sony Xperia TX Lt29
Last Version before the crash: JB 4.1.2
No root (Noob here)
please... please. i dont know what to do. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me

calm down.
Charge the phone until it is fully charged.
Download PCCompanion and do a fresh install of it.
Run PCCompanion and choose software update.
Use the option to repair your phone, then follow the instructions.
Let us know how you get on
PS
This will only do a software repair, if something broke because you dropped it (Which it sounds like) you are going to have to come clean and tell your parents to get it fixed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY!!! really thank you :'(
I already did something with the phone because I've been doing a lot of searching on the net lately...
I reinstalled the software using Sony Update Service (SUS) and it booted normally! (but sadly it was only during the FIRST BOOT UP) when I turned off the phone to re insert the sim card and micro sd, It started doing it again... but then, after 6 or 7 tries, it managed to skip past the sony logo-->xperia--> logo-->color animation? and do another complete boot
Now I decided to go to settings and do a complete factory reset cause I thought it would fix everything... but it didn't. It started doing the same thing, and I had to give it 10 or 12 tries before eventually booting up again. When it booted up normally, I was even able to play music with it and change the settings like brightness, volumes, equalizers, and even arrange widgets!
SITUATION NOW:I turn on the Wi-fi and it's in a boot loop again and I'm charging the phone up to 100%
(i did the vol.up vol down power combination before charging)
gregbradley, is it because of our slow internet connection??? (it took me like 4 nerve racking hours to finish the update) but sus was able to complete the download and install the software... what the f*ck is wrong with my phone (((( ohgod

AND:
I'll follow your instructions when the charge is complete...... and I'll be back to you with the results.God I hope this works.Thank you again.

Have you tried only partially flashing part of an ftf file. I know when my phone was on the brink of death I discovered that if I only flashed part of an ftf using flashtool that it would work. I think I would check everything that has exclude (ie: Exclude System) and it would work for me. Its not the end of the world though as the phone does work. Just a bootloop. If you can get it into flash mode then just exclude everything except System, Kernel, and baseband if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for the reply man '^^
um... to tell you the truth, I have no idea how to partially flash a tft file, let alone flashing. O_O (see how noob i am?) its saddening. So am I in the point right now where my phone's problem is unsolvable via pc companion or sony update service??? Plus I've been doing some searching here on xda and I saw this thread about xperia TX users updating to version b 167 and that their bootloaders are now locked.
This is what my phone is exactly doing whenever I try to boot it up:
Sony Logo---->Xperia Logo----> Color waves animation?---> FREEZE-->black screen then the Sony Logo again.
Whenever I try to boot up for the 2nd time this happens:
Sony Logo----> Black Screen---> Phone turns off---> Sony Logo again
(((

You have flashtool yes? If you load up like you're going to flash a ftf file. Once you click to load up the ftf file it'll pull a menu where you pick what you want to flash. On the right side of flashtool that's where the exclude part is. That's where you have to check the *exclude option. The same thing happened to me when I accidentally flashed a T cm10 rom on my phone. I had to partially flash a ftf file to get it to boot. It should work but since you're not familiar with flashtool its going to make it a bit harder for you in the end. :/

just let it plug in with the charger and keep your phone on for day, usually that will fix it after a few hours with that logo running

Use a battery charger, charge for at least half the entire batt and then follow the thread on flashing, download some files while charging to minimize downtime

Hey guys...... ))))
First and foremost, thank you for all your replies.. really helped me a lot (
It's okay now guys! '^^ I re installed the software via Sony Update Service and it worked. At first I thought the phone was a goner cause it didn't manage to do a complete boot right after the installation. (Phone was stuck on the Sony Logo) But then the next morning, I tried it again and it worked!!
BUT: What I fear now is that the phone might suddenly crash again if I turn on the WI-FI (just like what happened in my previous attempts) If the phone crashes, I fear that the phone would start going on a boot loop again.So basically, I'm just using the phone for media purposes only i.e. Walkman, Gallery,Camera, Movies.
Any thoughts on this, cool, awesome people of xda? '^^ (cant update my apps and google now f*ck)
just.. sad. I miss Flipboard,Modern Combat 4, My Daddy Was a Thief, Real Racing 3, DEAD SPACE (((

one question...
Did something broke inside my phone when it fell?? If yes... WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?? why is it behaving this way??? Why does it keep on boot looping??? should I go and let an expert open it????

[Q] Getting back to stock - with root

hi all
I think I probably know the answer to this but just to make sure..
I have for a long time had gregs Assaye-V2.0.1, which was great but was starting to slow down somewhat. so for my sins I tried with CM 10(.1 i think) still not quite sure about the differences between cm10 versions, but I digress.
anyway I put cm 10.1. I tried both FXP and so called stable CM release and its been a nightmare.
GPS problems, camera problems, browser problems - basically multiple reboots daily making the phone pretty much unusable. so thinking that I would like to get back to the beginning. I would like to maintain root and retain CWM but avoid the standard bloat that comes with stock roms.
Happy to bung a custom kernel on there, not after massive speed as I don't play games, battery life and reliability are paramount for me.
I wonder if someone could recommend the best way to go about this, and possibly a FTF/Kerne/ROM to go with that recommendation.
is it worth re-locking the bootloader for instance? can you even do that and maintain root.. ? so many questions - sorry I have gotten rather out of touch.
I would stick Assaye on again but seems it hasn't moved for quite some time and not sure if there is a better option.
any help very much appreciated
just to be clear - my current situation is:
Xperia T bought from Phones 4U
rooted
unlocked bootloader
currently running CM 10.1
thanks
nat

Thanks for using my rom, I hope it worked fine for you
In order to go back to stock you MUST relock the bootloader. Or you can flash doomkernel (which is for stock roms) and before you let it boot properly go into recovery and flash a stock based rom
If you relock the bootloader your phone will bootloop on CM if you try to turn it on, don't worry, just run pccompanion and force a repair of the software.
Then your phone will be exactly the same as when you took it of the box, so you can start again..
EDIT
My rom never updated because it was always just for me, and I was happy with it, now I have a Z1 and my daughter has my T, she hates my rom ;( and insists on CM

hi greg
thanks for the reply
guess I would be happy with a stock based rom to retain root. could you recommend one - other than your own?
which as it happens I am bunging back on as i type this...
thanks

also how do I set the buttons back to the original ones..?
sur eI have asked this before but cant find the answer...

To get back to original stock then once you have locked the bootloader just run pccompanion and force a repair of you r software in software update,
To get the button back to stock just push a stock systemUI.apk to system/app or better still install xposed framework and xblast module.
I think it works on the T, try it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then with the xblast module you gat a choice of buttons plus a load of other options as well

hi
so, I flashed the ftf re-lock bootloader.
all appeared to go well but....
I have been trying to no avail to get pc companion to run a repair.
the phone will not turn on, all I get when i hit the power is the led flashes red briefly twice, I can keep holding the power and it will keep doing a double rad flash every second or so.
when I plug into the pc - as part of the repair process - ie. holding down vol + power. I get a windows sound for connecting then another for disconnecting - I havent of course actually pulled it out at this point.
any ideas?
guessing its just not getting the green led for flashmode thus pc companion is not going to run a repair...
any other suggestions..?
thanks
edit: seems it has connected with a green led now.. however - it does not stay connected long enough for pc companion to fully download the update and i have to start all over again..
is there any way I can download the update separately and sort it that way..

Leave it on charge on your wall charger for the rest of the day, then try pccompanion later tonight

hi
thanks for the replies.
I had left it charging all last night. seems that it will only stay in flashmode for a short time, which isnt long enough to complete the flashing
the downloading part of the pc companion had completed and it was doing to pc -> phone bit, but never completes as green light goes off before it finishes..
I will leave it charging again overnight, but fear the worst.
presumably flashing a stock ftf with flashtool would achieve similar results?
will give that a go too and see how it goes..
hoping that I could run pc companion after doing that if it works?

if lfashtool works then yes...but not sure what your issue is here...

finally success, managed to use flashtool to flash parts of the ftf at a time, left it charging overnight and booted up fine in the a.m.
then have just ran pc companion to get a fresh stock one on.
thing is even though I have done that, it has still kept all the random folders on the internal storage, is there any way to clear them. PC companion says it will wipe them but it doesnt seem to have done so..
thanks

Wrong soft according to IMEI

Hey there i just noticed few things so just to make it clear igot Z from trade S3 for Z i dont have waranty all i have is a box phone and Swedish manuals. Im a bit confused cause box says its C6603 and bottom of the phone says the same C6603 after pressing *#06# imei shows the same as on the box from C6603 but when i go to settings and check device info it says C6602 http://zapodaj.net/bc7beb6231a48.png.html ill upload 2 images to let you guys check whats wrong. http://zapodaj.net/b8d6cd6d7be46.png.html
What makes me wonder how the hell I have C6602 fw in C6603? Any solutions? My phone so far stuck on 4.1.2 can't even update via OTA cause it says my phone got all updates so should I somehow install a proper soft with latest update 4.4 to C6603 or C6602? Im confused since I haven't got those kind of problems with any of my phones.

You wont need to root for flashing :good: don't worry go ahead and happy flashing
PS: Take a data backup as clean flash will wipe all data

I changed my config number to get generic US FW because my phone was running indian FW. Basically if you root, you can modify some text in a configuration file and trick the phone into thinking it's a model that it really isn't. More info here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-change-si-sony-xperia-z-t2271530
Root is also super easy - Google towel root, it is a recently discovered exploit that allows for one click rooting more or less.

[Q] Unbricking Xperia V (red led only hope)

Yo guys! This is my first post here. Sorry if I crossed some rules here, in advance.
I have my xperia V bricked? I think its bricked.
It happened after I successfully installed the CWM(done rooting) after that, I cleared all the cache, dalvik and data but then it suddenly hanged.
I removed the battery then reinsert it but then, it wont open. Then I think its bricked. Dunno what to do, weeks had past but still looking for some answers, but still hasn't found one. Weeks had past also, still charging it 24/7, plugging to pc with drivers, sometimes it detects by the flashtool but it says that im not connected to flashmode or fastbootmode(it says that device is in MTP? or something? I forgot sorry) So I tried posting here hoping to get my Xperia V ressurected. Help guys. Tnx alot. Newbie here

This happens because you have your kernel broken.
With a kernel broken, you're not able to recharge your battery. So your battery is very low. That's why you can connect to PC just for a short time.
Charge your phone for an hour, then open Flashtool, then Flashmode, then select FTF: now uncheck all inside "wipe" box and then check all inside "exclude" box BUT kernel that HAS TO remain unchecked. Now start to flash and connect your phone when asked.
If it fails, try again: recharge your phone and reflash. Again and again and again.... be patient, it may take many attempts...
If you can't do it, try to buy a new battery!

I removed the battery then reinsert it but then, it wont open. Then I think its bricked. Dunno what to do, weeks had past but still looking for some answers, but still hasn't found one. Weeks had past also, still charging it 24/7, plugging to pc with drivers, sometimes it detects by the flashtool but it says that im not connected to flashmode or fastbootmode(it says that device is in MTP? or something? I forgot sorry) So I tried posting here hoping to get my Xperia V ressurected. Help guys. Tnx alot. Newbie here

This happens because you have your kernel broken.
With a kernel broken, you're not able to recharge your battery. So your battery is very low. That's why you can connect to PC just for a short time.
Charge your phone for an hour, then open Flashtool, then Flashmode, then select FTF: now uncheck all inside "wipe" box and then check all inside "exclude" box BUT kernel that HAS TO remain unchecked. Now start to flash and connect your phone when asked.
If it fails, try again: recharge your phone and reflash. Again and again and again.... be patient, it may take many attempts...
If you can't do it, try to buy a new battery!

You should get yourself an external charger to make sure that the battery level isn't crossing your unbrick-work!

That one should work for charging your battery:

the battery trick ( changing/buying new battery ) wont work , when my xperia got hard bricked i had got new battery charged 100% but that change nothing
the only way is going to your service center and act dump ( if you have warrenty )
OR
jtag ( the link which i had provided ) on my previous post here
