[Q] XPERIA Z doesn't boot - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Last week i uncharged my SONY XPERIA Z to a very low battery level. After charging when i turned it on, it showed Sony logo and the led flashed but it didn't boot. I tried connecting it to PC but still nothing happens. Yesterday I was in the service, but the technician said that he cant undertake it and cant do anything with it. I dont know what he did, maybe he changed some of components but its still dead. Please help me guys!

If it stucks on sony logo... U can flash a ftf with flashtool... This might fix the problem

I tried, the flashtool stucks at flashing system.sin
Are there other tools expect Sony PC Companion to flash software into xperias?

No, its my attempt at humour when posting from my phone:silly:
@pikeylfc can you do this for me and let me know what happens.
Download the TL firmware from the all in one thread and flash it. However, instead of holding the volume down button (Normal for flashtool) can you hold BOTH the volume UP and DOWN button.
Tell me what happens in flashtool and on your phone please.

Flashed X8 using X10 FTF from flashtool

Hi all!
I did a big mistake some days ago.... I was updating my X8 from GingerDX 28 to 29 and some problem occured that my X8 didn't boot anymore, so I tried to flash with SEUS and PC Companion to get back the original ROM... But they doesn't work either. So I tried to start again, but this time I did some stupid, I used the X10 ftf from Flashtool to flash my X8!!! After that, it doesn't turn on, dont even light the LED when charging or connected using USB to PC. If a press turn on button in the top, it doesn't do anything and doesn't vibrate... Connecting using USB, windows doesn't identify that my X8 is there...
What can a do? Did I kill my X8?!?!?
Sorry my english...
Mauricio
I think you hard bricked your x8, because no response to on button is sign of hard bricking.

What I can do now? It means that there's no solution?
You either hard bricked it(I don't think so) or its just out of battery.
Charge it for an hour and flash the x8 ftf this time

Your right. The only way to fix it is using JTAG. I sent to a repair shop, they did the magic! Now it is in the way back from the shop by post mail. When I get it I will tell here if it's ok.

Make FTF Dump From X8
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a dump from a X8 that is currently in use, with the phones complete data (apps + info + settings )
in effect, a nandroid for use with Flashtool ?
I am thinking of using this method in replacement of nandroids because of the recovery being stored in the system partition and I have had problems with them before - usually MD5 mismatch errors.
you have hard bricked your phone !

No?
I am looking at flashtool as a replacement to nandroid backup??
You can make flashtool .sin/.ftf files from nandroid backups. But these flashtool packages will work only with unlocked bootloader/patched loader, because you can make the .sin headers but can't reproduce the security signatures, so with locked bootloader better if you forget it...

I tried unlock bootloader before, using the main guide on here, but it kept bricking ?
The build is lower than the number advised to not use so I don't know what happened. I just had to keep trying, then recovering with SEUS.
Any help mate would be amazing as I am sick of being stuck on Stock 2.1-update1 and stock kernel, it limits the phones abilities so much!! argh!

[Q] Xperia X8 is dead.. PLEASE HELP.. :(

My X8 is totally dead after flash Stock 2.1 Firmware, using flashtool.
I couldn't turn it on, and couldn't get into CWM.
PC can't detect it, so I can't use Flashtool to fix it.
It can't be charged, no LED blink, NO RESPONS at all..
It has been successfully unlocked before, and there's no problems arise, flash kernel, flash firmware, it worked fine until I get it back to stock firmware.
Somebody help me please.. :crying:
Any idea to solve it?? beside using jtag..
thank you before..
(sorry for my english)
Charge it.
If you can't repair it with flashtools then I would recommend you to take it to Sony...
Also it may be possible that the battery of your phone is finished so better leave it connected to charger for few minutes and see whether it turns on..

Use Sony pc companion.
Follow the steps in the repair section. That should fix it.... You prolly flashed via flashtool without enabling unknown sources and maybe without USB debugging.

When I plug the phone by usb. It starts in flashmode, but my PC Companion don't see phone. What should I do?
Had the same problem, repair with PC Companion worjed for me. As I remember I went to Software Updates and somewhere there is a link to 'Repair your Phone'. As I'm not at home, I can't look after the exact steps, but should be easy to find (or search after 'PC Companion repair phone' ). After this simply follow the steps shown by PC Companion.
huh guys, thanks. It works, everything i need to do was choose repair option with unpluged phone. Thanks for help

This has happened to me a few times. I've had a couple of failed flashes. Just reflash and it's usually ok. I think the Sony drivers are a little flaky.
Hi ,
I am trying to give your answer and you should search into the net .
Hi,
I am a new member here Thats why same condition to me.so i will try my level best to get answer.
If you're using the firmwares from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/general/ftf-stock-rom-e6553-sov31-402so-03g-t3136161) then you use should the version of flashtool in that Google Drive folder (0.9.18.6). Using the newer 0.9.19.1 gave me the same stuck on modem.sin problems.
