[Q] Xperia T - won't go past sony start sreen

Hi all, I'm new here and very much a novice when it comes to phones, operating systems etc so excuse me for the noob question and complete lack of knowledge...
My Xperia T developed a microphone fault whereby nobody could hear me when I called them (incredibly faint). I had the phone repaired at a local repair shop. Almost immediately upon receiving the phone back it developed a (What appears to be very common) battery fault, whereby it would reach 80% then shut down, restart, shut down, restart......
So, before returning it to the shop for further repairs I attempted a repair using the sony software. Half way through this repair the phone shut down!!! PC lost communication and I was left with a phone that simply displayed the 'Sony' start-up logo.
I have now returned to the shop and they have installed a new battery but are unable to get communication with the phone via the sony software (so basically they dont appear to be getting any further than me!). They are saying it is beyond repair - but I find that hard to believe? Surely it is just a software issue?
Can anyone advise what can be done? I am reluctant to write this phone off - surely it can be flashed with a new operating system or whatever needs to be done to what is essentially now a 'dumb' device?

This is the way to fix the software issue, ALL YOU DATA WILL BE LOST. And i'm not responsible for anything might happen to you device . DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Google xperia t .145 ftf file
Google flashtool for xperia
Download them
When you have installed flashtool, go to its folder, install drivers (tick the TX, flashmode and fastboot drivers boxs)
Open flashtool, click the lightning logo, select flashmode
Put the firmware file you've downloaded to the firmware folder in flashtool folder.
Connect the phone in flashmode, hold power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, now hold the vol down, plug your phone in the computer with flashtool running, you will now able to flash the firmware.
Good luck man.

Thankyou very much for your reply!! Thats what I need, a step by step muppets guide!
To be honest I couldn't care less about any data, I'm way past that stage - if I can just have the phone working again I would be a very happy man (I'm fairly desperate as you can probably tell, Im running my business from an ancient, failing HTC desire following weeks of the shop having the sony!). I can't really afford to write off a phone I paid good money for 6 months back so need to have a go myself.
I am collecting the phone today so will give that a go.....

So I had a go at the above - got the flash tool installed (Emma?) etc and managed to get the software to see the phone - unfortunately though I had neglected to mention the phone is locked to a particular network, which Emma politely informs me.
So, I have attempted to follow unlocking instructions as per the sony instructions (on their website):
But I am stuck. I was getting nothing when using the volume down button and connecting. To get the computer to see the phone I have to press and hold the power button, the red led starts blinking 3 times, repeatedly. This causes windows to recognise the phone when plugged in via usb, but I was not being asked for drivers (as per sony step 13). I found the device in device manager and uninstalled drivers in an attempt to force this. Now all that happens is the device appears in the list as 'S1 Boot Load' with a yellow exclamation mark. However I have then tried installing drivers manually from the location where I copied 'android_winusb' to, but this does not work.
To compound the issue I think the battery problem is causing the phone to cycle. when connected the green led lights up for a bit, but then goes off, then back on, then red.....repeatedly. The device only appears in device manager as 'S1 boot load' when green. This gives a very short window to try to do anything.

Wrong flashtool, download the one from the Dev section and flash a stock FTF

Oh right, first mistake then. The phone will still need unlocking first though I assume?

I've been dealing with a similar problem. When connected to a wall charger is your phone cycling from Green to Red and keeps doing that? Also have you installed Sony PC Companion maybe your phone will get recognized from the drivers in that install.

Same problem
Hi, I am currently having the same problem. I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing i'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!

[Q] Xperia T LT30at is stuck at Sony screen.[SOLVED]

The problem.
When I boot the device it just stays at the Sony screen and does not progress any further. I am still able to turn off the device by holding the power button and the volume up button, I can reset it by holding the button longer waiting for the vibration, and I can hard reset by waiting till the three vibrations.
What I was doing up to the point it happened.
I was trying to get a custom ROM on my device, I had it previously rooted so I thought I would go further. I installed CWM on my phone I wiped data, cache, and dalvick then I went to install the ROM from SD card. During the attempt at installation I got some symlink errors with a status of 7. Not sure what to do turned off the device when I decided to put back its previous I turned it back on and arrived at the problem.
What I have done to try and fix it.
I have done the soft and hard resets, I tried using the PC companions repair tool. When it asks me to turn the device off hold down the power button then plug in the device nothing happens(I have tried this several times.) I downloaded the flashtool and the correct ftf and tried using that, but it doesn't detect my device when I hold down the volume button and plug it in. So it seems that the flashboot is not working on my phone.
Any suggestions on what to try would be much appreciated and thanks in advanced.

You probably didn't install the ADB drivers. Install them from the Flashtool folder (use the ones for TX) and then try flashing your stock FTF again. Remember to put the device into Flashmode.
Basically what happened was that while flashing your ROM the script that flashes everything deletes everything from the /system partition, then you got an error and the installation was incomplete, therefore there is no proper system to boot into. You could have easily avoided what happened by flashing a different ROM had you not powered off.

Thank you for response, I went and used the Flashtool-driver.exe and installed the Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers and the TX drivers. But it does not seem to have changed anything. To enter flash mode on the phone one has to hold down the volume down button while plugging the phone into the usb when it is powered off, right? Flash tool just sits at the instruction animation titled Wait for Flashmode. When I try to enter flashmode I do not get a response from either the program or the phone. Any more suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you for taking the time to help.

Yes, that is how you enter flashmode. Turn off phone, and keep volume down button pressed while you connect the USB cable; the LED light should turn on with a green light. If you're phone is not entering Flashmode, then you might have a faulty USB cable, or there might be problems with your USB ports, either on your computer or your phone (try with different cables/computers).
Also, check your Device Manager (while phone is connected) to make sure the drivers are properly installed. If you have Windows 8, you should have had to turn of Driver Signature Checking in order for the drivers to install properly.

Yeah I turned off the Driver signature checking on my computer when I did it. I'll go buy a new cable and try a friends windows 7 computer. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the USB port in my phone. Thank you for your help I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you everybody for your support. My phone is now working. After my phones battery died I was able to get it charging, when it had enough energy it booted itself to the Sony screen so I turned it off and grabbed my new micro USB cable and was able to get it into flash mode. Everything is now working great. I wish a special thanks to Antiga Prime for taking the time to help me.

[Q] Sony Logo Bootloop !?

Hi all,
So I got this Sony Xperia SP C5303 from a friend of mine which is stuck on a boot loop (SONY logo => XPERIA logo => Orange logo, then screen dims and reboot )
I tried to flash it with FlashTool but nothing, I downloaded the ftf for it and I have installed all the drivers from the flashtool driver folder but nothing, I always get an error on Flasgtool indicating that I must install the drivers
As I said, the phone cannot be booted and I have never connected it to my computer so there were no previous drivers, so what should I do ? (I have Win 7 btw)

Don't know what you mean by all but the three necessary ones are fast boot, flash mode & viskan board drivers. Use the latest version of Flashtool, install those drivers, prepare the firmware and connect the phone pressing the volume down button.

I do have FlashTool the latest version (0.9.18.6) and what I meant by "all" is that when I run the "FlashTool drivers" that comes with the software, it gives me a checklist of the available drivers, I ticked every single one of those drivers, and they're all installed, but still, FlashTool shows an error that the driver must be installed !

You don't need to install all of them, just the three I mentioned. Could possibly be causing detection issues.
Go download USBDeview and see what you got installed. I'd advise you to remove everything Android and Xperia related and start from scratch to avoid conflicts. If you have installed things properly, you phone should show up as something like this in USBDeview -
Normal mode
Xperia SP - USB Composite Device
Fastboot mode
S1Boot - Fastboot Android ADB Interface or ADB Bootloader Interface or something similar.
Edit : Just as I finished posting, my SP wasn't getting detected in adb. Why? Because I had connected my brother's Xperia ZR and for some reason my phone doesn't like other phones being connection on my machine It was showing up as Linux storage unit or something. Reinstalled drivers via FlashTool and everything's good again. Drivers are finicky things man.

LOL, well I've got a little update
I flashed the phone first with Sony PC Companion, after it finished, I plugged out the phone and started it, it took some while to boot, the screen showed up but it wasn't responsive, after a couple of seconds, it dimmed and it rebooted and now it's back to the same old issue (SONY > XPERIA > Orange > Reboot).
Right afterwards, I flashed it using FlashTool (This time it worked perfectly, which is weird) but still nothing, after finishing the flash and plugging out the phone, it's stuck on the SONY, XPERIA and the colorful waves bootanimation ....
I've no idea what is wrong with this thing now

Well the fact that it's getting there means there isn't anything significantly wrong with it.
Have you tried rebooting it using the off button at the back? Sometimes it does that the first time booting into the ROM. Just press and hold the button for a few seconds with a pen or a toothpick to reboot the device.
You could also boot back into recovery and do a factory reset just to see if it helps the cause.
You can also try different firmware versions. Maybe 4.1.2 instead of 4.3.
BTW is the boot loader unlocked on the phone?

I did try the tiny yellow OFF button in the back several times through the flashing process and whatnot, but nothing .
I tried getting into recovery mode but it just won't it just keeps on doing the same bootloop as before
I dunno if trying a different firmware would help, I highly doubt it but I will try it as I got nothing to lose
I've no idea what that boot loader is but I DID try to unlock it using FlashTool's BLU and I got this in the log "07/029/2015 21:29:05 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked"

You need to press either the volume up or down button a few times when you're booting up to get to the recovery. If you have done it right then after the Sony splash screen you should go into the recovery.
Boot loaders need to be unlocked to be able to flash custom recoveries & ROMs but forget about unlocking the boot loader for now since you do not know what it is and without your phone working there's no way of knowing for sure of it can be done or not.
Like I said try doing a factory reset in the recovery or a different firmware to see if it helps.

Well, I just did some research and I found out that Sony phones do not have a stock recovery mode . . . So there's no recovery mode for me (I did try but nothing)
I'm going to try to unlock the boot loader using SDK and if nothing happens, I'll try to flash it with a different firmware

Oh damn I forgot you had flashed stock firmware...yeah Sony phones ship w/o a recovery. Even if it had one, it wouldn't be much use other than wiping cache & dalvik, factory reset and installing official signed updates. A big reason why people unlock their boot loaders to install a custom recovery.
Before you proceed try to understand as much as you can about what you are doing. Don't go in half cocked and create more problems for yourself. The main problem you face is that you don't have a working system so
a) you don't know whether you bootloader can be unlocked to begin with and
b) even if it can be, you can't take a TA backup to save your warranty cause your phone's not working. If you don't take the backup before the first time you unlock, your warranty's pretty much gone forever.
If you still wanna proceed, check out the link below. Another poster wanted to unlock recently so the thread below contains boot loader unlocking instructions. There are four I have listed. Read carefully before you proceed.

Phone bricked, please help.

I tried researching for information on this but wasn't able to resolve it. Basically, i have the same problem as here; Flashed a ROM, but after flashing it I found out I did it for the wrong model (5833 instead of 5803). When flashing the rom I wiped Dalvik, Cache, Data and System, and now I'm stuck at the Sony startup screen. It won't let me go into recovery mode.
I too tried to flash stock using flashtools, but it tells me "INFO - Device Status: NOT FOUND". I tried using the Sony PC companion restore function but I get the same problem, telling me there's no phone/device connected.
EDIT: I tried following the steps from this post, but I'm still stuck at the Sony loading screen.
Is there anything to do?

Have you tried the following with the sony companion?
Shut down the phone completely by pressing power and vol+ until the red led lights up and it vibrates a few times.
Now without connecting the phone you go to pc companion, update > repair my phone > select the model > check the boxes and go forward in the menue until it promts you to connect the phone. Your internet connection of your pc should be working for this.
Make sure you have the original cable or another high quality cable, blow into the micro sd slot on the phone in case there is some dirt in it. Might also check it with a light for some foreign partikels stuck in there.
Oke, assuming there is no actual crap in the micro sd slot, when pc companion prompts you to conntect the phone you do as it says, you press vol- and connect the phone to the pc at the same time.
The process takes a very long time so be patient or do something else while its repairing. If its not working try one more time.
If its still not working try to get it shipped in for sony warranty repair by calling the hotline and lying about your abuse of the phone and just say it suddenly stopped working.
Other options are to pay for repair at a phone repair shop or sell the brick.

First see if fastboot devices command gives your phone serial no. or not. If yes then it's a good news, flash recovery again, boot into recovery, flash rom and boot system.
If not, you may need to update your device driver in PC.
First possibility: your fastboot driver in pc needs to be updated.
2nd possibility: Some phones have EDL mode (emergency download) , google if your phone has it. Then you can probably use some tool to restore your phone from this mode.

Can' access bootloader nor recovery...

Hi,
I have a major issue since the update to CM13.0-20160524-NIGHTLY-huashan. I litteraly spent the whole week trying everything I found on internet in order to solve it without success.
My problem is the following one: I uninstalled the gapps to manually update it for the latest version of Android (Android 6.0.1), when I tried to boot to the recovery nothing happened the phone just restart, same when trying to boot to the bootloader. I tried everything adb reboot recovery adb reboot bootloader, I tried flashtool, I used the developper options to reboot to recovery, I tried manually by holding the volume button while restarting, I tried the flashify application. Nothing, I am not able in anyway to access neither the recovery nor the bootloader. The phone is just restarting, the led is first blue then goes red then green then red and restart. However, I have a root shell on the phone with adb shell.
If anyone have a solution, can help me please do it. An Android phone without the gapps is quite useless.
Thank you very much,

same problem,my phone is now without working android (after i tried instal CyanogenMod 13.0 Unofficial SaberMod.....still loading cyanogenmod logo) and without working fastboot and recovery so im lost :/

Hello, since the LED bar lights up this means your device is soft bricked, in which, mostly are recoverable.
What interests me is that you tried to, quote, "uninstall gapps".. If you previously have gapps, you don't need to "uninstall" gapps in order to update to the next build. Just flash the new build zip and gapps will be preserved. Also I am quite skeptical about what you did, as I never heard of a way to actually uninstall gapps. Basically if someone wants to remove gapps, he needs to format the System partition and then flash the ROM zip again..
Are you sure you failed to boot into flashmode? the correct procedure to do so is
Make sure the device is turned off
Make sure the USB cable is connected to your PC
Hold the volume DOWN button
Still holding the button, insert the USB cable to the XSP
LED will light up green, indicating flashmode
But even so, since you are on an unlocked bootloader, recovering from this brick is rather easy.
Get yourself a TWRP img file from the TWRP basketbuild folder
Open flashtool
Make sure the device is turned off
Make sure the USB cable is connected to your PC
Hold the volume UP button
Still holding the button, insert the USB cable to the XSP
LED will light up blue, indicating fastboot mode
On flashtool, click the lightning icon and select fastboot mode
On the right of the new window that appears, select "Select kernel to flash"
Navigate to your TWRP img file and select it
When flash completes, unplug your XSP from the USB cable
This will flash TWRP into /boot partition. So when you start your device, it will go straight to recovery.
Now, flash the ROM zip

Thanks for your help TechnoSparks, however, as I told you and expected even following your exact procedure my phone just restart. The led brights up bleu for few seconds then the phone put itself in charging mode. And when I said I delete the gapps, I meant that I deleted the google play store from my phone (this app was anyway not working after update). I tried to use flashtool but it is the same, can't get into fastboot mode, the phone just normally starts or put itself in charge. Isn't a manual solution on how to flash a recovery only using adb shell?

Thanks for your help TechnoSparks, however, as I told you and expected even following your exact procedure my phone just restart.

That seems to be related to your USB cable (since that is the famous issue). Can you try to charge your phone WITHOUT it stop charging (i mean suddenly the LED disappears and when you tap the screen the charging icon doesnt show)?
If it so does happens that your device doesnt want to charge, it seems to me that you are having a loose USB port which possibly from your XSP, or, your USB cable is no longer up for the challenge
You will need to find another reliable USB cable for you to try. Try to charge your XSP to see if that particular USB cable is reliable for you. Try to wiggle the wire a little bit, moving the XSP from different directions and see if it would still charge. If it still charge, then this is the USB cable for you to use. Do the mentioned steps above again.
If you insist and want to use the same USB cable, you will need to find a "sweet spot" so that the connection between your XSP and the USB cable will remain reliable.
