Hello XDA,
Its one of my first threads. I always read the threads and post first. No matter what, i always try to find the answers by myself by lurking in each and every thread... so please help me out on this one this time
TOPIC: SONY XPERIA SP IS NOT BOOTING UP (BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED)
REASON: I DID A SYSTEM WIPE IN CWM becoz my gapps for some unknown reason ceased to sync and i wanted to remove gapps.
THE CASE: After wiping system partition in CWM i rebooted my device. It booted and the Sony logo appeared. AND IT STUCK. Period. I did a HARD RESET (pinned the hole up until 3 vibrations). The mobile shutdown and then never booted up.
I tired to enter FLASHMODE and flashed the stock FW. But it failed everytime with a msg that USB DEBUGGING is off (now how on earth do i turn on the debugging if my fone is not booting up.) and i remember very thoroughly that my USB DEBUG was on before the brick.
CURRENT SITUATION: My phone just does not respond to power button whatsoever. I kept it unplugged/unchrged for more than 40 hours as many users suggested to clear the bad data off the chip.
Whenever plugged in the wall charger it gives up a strong RED LED and then after sometime that changes to GREEN LED . Then the GREEN LED goes by itself and a constant RED LED comes.
I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO FLASH OR FAST BOOT MODE. IT JUST GIVES A RED LED WHEN I PLUG IN THE PC USB:crying:
Not a single reply
Guys i m really in trouble... please enlighten me with your expertise
Firstly download and install minimal adb
Download doomlord's adb drivers..
Then if on windows 8
Disable driver signature enforcement and then install the adb drivers in doomlord's thread.
(Fast boot drivers, flashmode drivers and viskan drivers)
Then extract boot.img of your favourite ROM (which has a recovery) and copy paste it in the folder where you installed minimal adb.
First connect the USB cable to the PC.
Restart your phone by hard reset and as soon as it shows Sony logo, keep pressing power button plus volume down.
Now a blue light will be coming.
Then
Hold shift and right click there and open command promt here..
Make sure the blue light is still there in the ollimaination bar and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will install a new boot.img which has a recovert
And then restart
Then go into recovery and flash your favourite ROM...
Hope I helped..
This method worked for me many times...
thnz for your reply mate..
You see the problem is that the fone is not booting up. Its not getting in Fastboot Mode also. SCREEN, POWER BUTTON, HARD RESETTING... everything is unresponsive.
The fone is giving ramdon RED LED and after sometime GREEN LED. I am totally confused.
I have kept my fone connected to the PC with the volume down button pressed (with a rubber band). It does gets into flashmode many time but when i flash the stock rom it ends with this error halfway through

Any ways, i'll try flashing the custom kernel after installing minimal adb.
Not happening. My phone is not getting in to fastboot mode at all. It does gets into flashmode randomly (i have kept the volume button pressed down with a rubber band).
But half way through the flashing it gives Error 31 and aborts the flashing

How To unbrick Xperia SP
For mentioned files look into atachement (this is not my work, I've only uploaded files downloaded a couple of weeks ago, dont know from where)
But you have to disassembly your phone to get to the Testpoint. Location You can find through google images. Just search for it.
thnk you smogf.
I have already studied this method but it seems too difficult for me
I opened my back of the phone and disconnected the battery strip too but it didnt work to recover my phone.
But i'll try, no matter what. Even if anything goes wrong i cannot brick it any further:silly:
No luck with this method also.
i think my xperia has some serious problem...
Hi, did you manage to get any solutions???
Have you tried pressing the power off button on the back of the device with a pen while pressing power button and volume up or down, you should get green/blue led for a few seconds, the device won't boot though. but if this happens then their's hope.

Uhm actually I had same problem. CWM give me error status 7 after trying to flash a ROM which wiped system. All I did was use flashtool to flash a system from .205 which takes a few seconds and a few tries until phone won't disconnect from flash mode. If it gives error about something corrupt or whatever, just upgrade your drivers. Also make sure you use windows 7 or lower. 8 requires disabled signature check.
Have you tried using Emma

My hopes are rising...
@wax911 Thank you! My Device responded. It showed up a light (green/blue). I will reply if I get it to work with Fastbooting. Thanks pal!

Hi,
I was trying to install a custom rom as instructed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
I used Philz recovery. Unfortunately i wiped the whole system and my rom installation failed
Now my phone is not turning on (it only shows Sony screen)
I've been pressing all the button combinations (power + volume up; power + volume down; power + vol up + vol down), and nothing happens, no vibration, only Red LED blinking when pressing power button whatsoever.
The only "vital" sign it gives is the Red LED when you plug it on the charger or on the USB on the PC.
Is my phone dead permanently ? Is there any way to recover my phone?
Any help, suggestion, thought from personal experience is appreciated!
Relax brother... First open your backcover and do a hard reset by pressing the hars reset button.. after that if you have unlocked your bootloader then connect your phone with fastboot ummm i guesss vol up and plug the cable at the same time.. when its connected it shows a blue led.. Flash the kernel for Xperia sp containing recoveries by choosing boot.img file from your pc.. Turn on it go into recovery and flash your rom... Bt if you havmt unlocked your bootloader then you have to flash ftf for xperia sp . 207 Okay and ya for ftf flashing just do a hard reset and plug in to pc using vol down and plug in at the same time

Thanks for quick reply bro
I have unlocked the bootloader. I don't know how to use fastboot
can you explain it to me please
Edit:
I tried vol up and plug the cable at the same time. At first it shows a blue led. But then it again only shows red led and sony screen Is my phone dead?
what should i do ?
Let for phone charge for some time... I guess it wont get charge if there is no os in your phone... Hmm umm okay you have to do it quick..
Open flashtool from menu go in fastboot there would be a option for flash kernel.. and place kernel on ur pc where you can locate it easily... .. U can flash any custom kernel.. which have recoveries built in... Just do it quick when you connect your phone... in fastboot mode give a try
When i connect the charger it shows red led but the screen remains same(sony screen). And when i remove the charger the screen and light remains the same. Shouldn't it turned off ?
Actually im not familiar with flashtool and fastboot can you elaborate the process please
Nothing's working Actually I think my phone doesn't have any OS currently. Because i cleaned the whole system
what should i do?
Do not drain your battery!! Switchoff your phone using the hard reset button when it vibrates 3 times.. Okay don't switchon it..
Yea ur phone dont have any os right now!
1)open flashtool you see menu button in the left and up... Select fastboot then a window popup select kernel( boot.img file) whatever any custom rom you have open it witj winrar and do extract boot.img or you can download it from here
https://mega.co.nz/#!PQRglRgY!kLntG3tvJp3TcVqfKtawBTV4Rwa5v8-mtLLQU-ifwOU
Download it and extract the boot.img file
Before selecting kernel(boot.img) connect your phone like you did bbefore blue right appear then select the kernel and flash it immediately!
Thanks for the help bro
I extracted cm-11-20150223-NIGHTLY-huashan ROM. Will its boot.img work ?
And i don't have any idea about flashtool can you please tell me how to install and use it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general there is guide how to use flashtoll
by a dev follow it bro and there are many thread which will be very helpful for you!!
Okay, i'm following the thread
Can you tell me if my boot.img will work or not ?
I extracted it from cm-11-20150223-NIGHTLY-huashan ROM.
Yes it will work!! But in case it wont wrk i suggest you to download doomkernel
Or willam's kernel or the link i gave u... But im sure that it will wrk... Just download yhe flashtool install it and drivers also.. it wud be in the default location somewhere in windows local disk install xperia sp drivers fastboot drivera and flashboot drivers... and then follow the guide... Or the steps i told you already
I installed flashtool.
But it can not find my device when i connect it
What's the problem ?
Is there any video tutorial solution for my problem? I am not very good at android so it's kind of hard for me to follow the instructions
I solved the earlier problem.
But now when i'm trying to flash the device it says that the device must be rooted.
As far as i'm concerned i rooted my mobile. What changed now ??

Yes. I used towelroot app.
and I installed recovery. But now i can't go to the recovery menu
when i push power button it only shows sony screen. Nothing happens after that screen remains the same what can i do ?
Hey jangid,
I think my phone is still locked, although i thought i unlocked bootloader
Actually I did these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975 steps before my phone goes dead.
Today when I tried to flash with "Emma Flash tool" and it says that my device is locked
Here is the screenshot :
what should i do now ?
you are using emma flashtool ??? .. if your bootloader is locked then you cant flash kernels ... and dont use emma flashtool its complicated to use ...
argggg .. just download 12.1.A.1.207 ftf file for xperia sp it would be arnd 800mb .. and flash it with flashtool (in flashboot vol down while plugging )after flashing it your phone will work again !!! ... to ..
I tried to flash as you instructed with C5302_12.1.A.1.205_India.ftf
But it showed error after some processing
Here is the error : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3182578&stc=1&d=1424825034
And sadly now my hard reset button is not working maybe. Because it doesn't vibrate like before
I'm going crazy bro Is there any way out ? Tell me if i can get my phone back ?
Tell me about the condition of your phone... Does your phone getting on??
If yes does it have recoveries??? .. wait from the screenshots.. Did u able to connect your phone in flashboot?? ( Green led)
Currently my phone screen is completely black no matter what i do
when i press the power button red light blinks. nothing happens to the screen.
if i try to do a hard reset it doesn't work i mean in previous it vibrated 3 times, but now it doesn't do that
my phone is not getting on and i don't think it has recoveries. Actually i think my phone totally blank(no OS, no nothing), because as far as i remember i wiped the whole system during custom rom installation
i was able to connect it in flashboot mode(green light). But when i tried to flash my device it showed this error after some processing -

Flashing stock ROM on LG L Fino
Since the device is pretty new and there is no other such guide for the Fino I decided to make one.
Flashing stock firmware on LG devices is universal (for the most part) so this guide will be pretty straight up.
This guide should be compatible with both the Dual Sim Fino and the regular one and all variants between them N/F/G etc.
I will try to make this as noob friendly as possible.

__________________
Flashing a stock ROM:
Can unbrick the device (only if softbricked)
Will remove root
Can Wipe user data
Can brick device (If done incorrectly)
__________________
STEPS:
STEP 1: Download and Install the LG DRIVER from here.
You might want to restart your computer after driver installation.
STEP 2: Download LG FLASH TOOL 2014 from here and extract it IN a NEW folder somewhere.
STEP 3: Download a KDZ firmware file from here
BE SURE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT FIRMWARE FOR YOUR DEVICE (D290N, D295 and so on) OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE MIGHT BECOME A HARD BRICK!!! LOOK FOR THE DEVICE MODEL BEHIND THE BATTERY!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 4: Extract the FIRMWARE.KDZ file IN the same folder as the LG FLASHTOOL 2014.
STEP 5: Enter DOWNLOAD MODE on the device. You can do that by connecting a USB cable to the computer and then pressing and holding the VOLUME UP button while inserting the USB in to the phone.
STEP 6: Start LGFlashTool2014.exe. You should have something like this open:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
STEP 7: In type ALLWAYS choose CDMA.
STEP 8: IN KDZ browse to the KDZ file you extracted earlier and select it.
STEP 9: Select Normal or CSE Flash
Normal Flash: Flash the ROM on top of the current one ( Good for updating firmware)
CSE Flash: Flash the ROM after WIPING EVERYTHING. (Good if testing new ROM or restoring a brick)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 10: After selecting either you will be transferred to another screen with data on it. Don't edit anything and just click START
STEP 11: After that you will be yet again transferred to another screen like this:
Dont change or tick anything and just click OK
STEO 12: After that the process of FLASHING will begin.
THIS PROCESS CAN'T BE STOPPED SO BE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED TO WAIT FOR 5-20 MINUTES FOR IT TO COMPLETE.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE UNTIL IT HAS FULLY BOOTED!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you get an error saying something about failed downloads and whatnot DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING! and wait about 15 minutes. The program might just display these errors but the process will continue.
Do not worry if the program says disconnected or crashes at the end of the procedure. This is normal
STEP 13: Enjoy your reflashed device

I have LG L Fino D295. I cannot enter to Download Mode as there is error message "error boot certification verify" and then the device goes black. By removing the battery, put it back and press power button the phone goes normally. Any solution for cannot entering the Download Mode?
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 but I couldn't find the files needed (sbl1.img, aboot.img, rpm.img, tz.img) which I assume the stock files for LG Fino L D295. And not really sure this will help me to enter the Download Mode.
Just as background: when I update the firmware via OTA, the system says that my phone is suspected to be rooted. since then my camera is not working. Clear cache and data didn't help.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Try reinstalling LG driver and try plugging in another USB port on your PC.
So I tried to do some driver version I installed, each USB port podłanczałem and all the time is this problrm on your computer is at 2% and continue on your 0% and nothing happens, I wanted to also add that when I turn on the tele. normally it shows the logo lg and the phone vibrates at some time after 2 times,Lg phone detects a mobile phone but the phone installs the first time you connect it does not want to load up to the end,
maybe this is the problem that you have Windows 10 ?? Maybe it is going to change a recovery program ?? and not by the emulator

I flashed my d290g with a d295 firmware to install a rom on it. Now I'm trying to flash the original firmware with the flash tool but I can't manage to flash it, I've tried adding the d290 unlocked bootloader but it's still not flashing. Is there anyway to force the flash tool to install the firmware without checking the model of it or to make a flasheable zip for TWRP with the d290g firmware?
LG L Fino Hard Bricked
Hi. Sorry for me english.

No have logo LG, only black screen. No have download mode, recovery mode, fastboot mode. Cant reperair with LG Support tool because have error with me baterry not full charging.
What I must doo to unbricked my phone ? Please help me
To everyone that has hard bricked their phone:
There is no fix of hard bricked LG L Fino we are aware of as of now!
The only way out is to give your phone to warranty service and get it replaced or get its motherboard replaced!
Please, note that you should be very careful when typing these two commands, installing aboot and recovery!
You are doing this at your own risk!

[GUIDE] Unbrick Tool for OnePlus 5 with OOS 9.0.9 & OOS 9.0.11 (Untouched full stock)
Hello Everyone !!
=>A hard bricked OP5 has nothing but a black screen (nothing ever comes on the screen, not even a boot logo), it might vibrate when a power button is pressed and held for 20 seconds, has no Recovery partition, no adb mode, and no fastboot partition (It might be a flickering OnePlus logo). The device might be detected in Linux and you might be able to even send commands to it. In Windows, the bricked OP5 should be detected as QHUSB_BULK,Unknown Device,Qualcomm something. You might have a bricked OP5 as a result of flashing a kernel meant for a different device (or a ROM meant for another device that included a kernel), tinkering with the boot logo or bootloader, or your attempt of unlocking the bootloader resulted in corrupting the boot partition. Most of the times, it is needed because OEM Unlocking is disabled, and phone can't boot and no recovery.
=>The solution for OP5 hardbrick is similar to OP3,OP3T- you just need a Qualcomm driver and a recovery package.it'll help to get out from one of the most weird state of the phone.(file is exact file from OnePlus)
METHOD
This method is easy to use and flashes OxygenOS 5.1.7 and OxygenOS 9.0.9 on your phone. It wipes all your data and restores all partitions to stock. It will work in any condition unless it is a hardware damage.
Step 1 :- DOWNLOADS :-
OOS 9.0.9: https://mega.nz/file/O4dGFI4b#mbqq8VqUiPwoN85ajTV-H2pDNccD58-ccejQnTQHIBE
OOS 9.0.11:https://mega.nz/file/ekUURaII#FPoezmYL1hPJUkb2Hf90ZqW07iEaCza6etnTPSKJOos
Step 2 :- Extract Drivers and Recovery Tool files on Desktop.
Step 3 :- If you are using Windows other than Windows XP,turn off Driver Signature Enforcement.To do so,follow this guide :- http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-...igned-drivers/
Step 4 :- Press the power button for 40 seconds to turn off the phone.
Step 5 :- Press only volume up button for 10 seconds and while keeping it pressed,connect your phone to PC.Keep volume up pressed till your device shows in device manager as [Unknown Device,QHUSB_BULK (under Unknown Devices) or Qualcomm HS USB ...... (under COMs and Ports)].
Step 6 :- Right Click on your device in the device manager and select Update Device Software. Choose the .inf file manually from x86 or x64 folder as the case implies and select Qualcomm 9008 from the listed devices.If you are unable to see 9008,see the end of post for various other methods to show Qualcomm 9008.
Step 7 :- When the device shows as Qualcomm 9008 ,go to the extracted Recovery Package and run the MSM Download Tool as administrator.
Step 8 :- Click start at top left corner and wait for it to finish (green text will come).
Step 9 :- Disconnect phone from PC and boot into system.
How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008
1.) Make sure driver signature enforcement is disabled.
2.) Try these drivers,one of them might work too :-

3.)Download this :- http://www.mediafire.com/file/4aqwyi3g1d6wc67/Qualcomm+1.00.11.rar
Keep phone disconnected from PC.
Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Disabled. (Optional but preferred)
The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install.
P.S.: I found the fix for bootloader menu which was changing after flashing through this tool. Just flash the zip in the recovery from the link below after flashing the rom through this tool, and you are good to go.
Please boot your device, set it up then go back to recovery and flash this file.
https://mega.nz/file/n10kkKCQ#LmCm_TDDyZ9cdZPf2pk0mSSV1bgvZflENQG0ubl15SY
NOTE: When the tool gives the "Sahara error", DON'T DISCONNECT THE PHONE from your PC, and press vol up and power button. It maybe seem stupid as a fix but generally it works.
IMP NOTE: There is a quick update, recently I also got stuck at param processing while flashing my device. So uploading the tool which works well. Here is the link. https://mega.nz/file/C1Nw3Cyb#znHfATPuRN4rAy1ZnDO4kMcftEkQ1P6enGxRGSiBh2E
IMP NOTE: There is a quick update, the tool is updated with latest TREBLE OS.

Don't worry about green led light while flashing with tool its normal behavior, and about error...maybe because of bad download for sure,try attaching your phone again or check the drivers again...and look at the firs comment - seems like tool is working fine.

I did it all, believe me. Reinstalled the drivers multiples times, differents PCS, differents USB ports... I think it was a hardware problem.
I already sent my phone to RMA, so i think it was solved, one way or another But thanks for your replies

Are you going to update (5.1.2)?

If i Get it then yes for sure
Op updated with the bootloader fix, which helps to revert to old bootloader menu.
Op updated with new tool which includes OOS 5.1.2.
Mate she worked a charm! I wasn't bricked but wanted to restore to full stock after issues with open beta rims, firmware and AOSP roms. Was the simplest way to achieve a fresh start
it downloads the ROM while flashing? Or ROM is included in given link by OP?
Friends, i think i did something really wrong..
I have this sony sp for a long time broken, but i fixed the screen and give it a chance to come back to life.. But i dont like the OLD android, and tried to install OREO on it... i remember it has already unlocked bootloader. So i installed twrp using adb commands, and could get into the TWRP ... so i just did a wipe system, cache ... bla bla bla..... but it was on stock rom... never flashed any rom on it before... so.... the rom didnt installed fine... got error
but the big big problem, i cant get into fastboot mode or flashmode... everytime i got into one of those, i got onlu for a few seconds and got a sony logo and cant do anything....
i tried to install the drivers again using flashtools drivers, and the driver wont install... i am on Windows 10 and dont know what to do ( i can install other drivers like sony z1 it Works fine)
tried to install it from device manager (my computer, add legacy hardware)
nothing seems to work... what i wanted to do is... get into flashmode, to install the stock ftf on it .... but it get only for 10 seconds, after that, sony logo and stuck...
heeelp me guys
are you sure it's battery is not very low?
Omg, just install flashmode drivers
did you keep pressing buttons after succesfully put your device into fastboot or flash mode?
Thanks for answering me :
1 - When i started to try to flash the rom, it was at 90% of battery
2 - I noticed that i was having problem to put it in fastboot mode and flashmode , somehow i could install TWRP using ADB commands.
3 - My phone was already getting recognized by xperia companion
4- when i got the problem try to flash ftf back but i am getting a loop, device disconnected and in flash mode... just blinking
5- TRY TO INSTALL Flashtool drivers in flashtool folder, but , when i choose, FLASHMODE and FASTBOOT MODE, and choose the "VISKIAN BOARD" that says the chipset for XPERIA SP i got this :

ONE MORE QUESTION , GUYS
Any ideas why Windows 10 wont install fastboot and flash mode for the viskian driver? I have a Xperia Z1 and i installed it normally... i have fastboot and flashmode for xperia z1... but Even now, with my xperia sp working
getting recognized by xperia companion.... When i turn off the phone, power up + usb cable... it turns the blue light on, for like, 5 seconds, and i got the sony logo and starts to charge my device....
i really wanted to solve this problem, because, to use Windows 7 i have to use an old Hard Drive of mine here....
Hi,
My Xperia went to Bootloop today after I tried to disable Chrome. It's locked and Stock Android 8. When I got it it had Spain Firmware on it so I flashed German Firmware.
I absolutely forgot how to flash anything, I still got the FTF at least. My Computer also died on me so I can't see which tools I used.
Everything is backupped in the cloud except for whatsapp, I did a backup for that as well but my computer died as well so I need this from my phone if possible.
Can I access my Whatsapp files if I sucessfully flash the same firmware?
I think debugging was on, would it be possible to back up data via adb?
And Please tell me how to flash, after Sony mobile shut down their Forums it's even harder to find guides for it..
Thank you.
You're going to need a PC. Just flash the system and don't wipe anything.

Somehow I can't get my Xperia to in Fastboot mode. I hold volume down and i'll get a green light ( I think it was supposed to be blue?)
ADB will not work. I tried different drivers. Which would you recommend? (Last I tried was Flashtool Xperia Driver Pack 1.9 with General Drivers)
Thank you.

You need to be in flashmode to use newflasher, which is a green led. In regards to the drivers, uninstall and reinstall them. I used the ones from the flash tool pack.
I flashed successfully but now it will go to that repair mode and screen will turn black.
Only flashed system.sin.. should I include anything else?
Before it would go to repair mode and then trying to start android, now it seems it does nothing.
edit: now Stuck at Sony Screen.

I'm not sure. Flashing the system.sin usually does it. Try the oem and vendor sin files too. If that fails you may have to do a full wipe and start a fresh.
I flashed the three files, seems to be stuck at the Sony Screen again without repair mode. I'll wait a bit.
If you have any other Idea before I do a wipe please tell me.
btw how do I turn the phone off without restarting?

I was waiting like 15 Minutes while the Phone was stuck at the Sony Screen, on the next restart it went into repair mode again for like 10Seconds and turns black again.
hmm Holding Power and Volume down does nothing for me.. Only Power+ Volume Up for restarting works.
I worry if it doesn't charge in flashing/fastboot mode.
edit: Well I got it off now by pulling the cable in Flashing Mode
Still open for new Ideas before I'll do the wipe in the next few days.

Well there is this round Triangle with an settings/repair Icon inside. And on the bottom some kind of infinite loading bar. This goes on for like 10 seconds.
Can't find a picture of that in the internet, I can take one if you want to see it.
Before the bootloop, the phone would go off from time to time, mostly when charging or deleting/installing apps. After that the Repair Mode came up and after that it would boot normally.
I knew one day I would get a bootloop, so I did backups. I'm only losing data from a month or half. Still, would be nice to keep if possible.
Because of this Issue I will probably send it in as I still got warranty, I didn't do it yet because I wanted to stay on Android 8.

What FW version is the ftf? I would suggest starting a fresh anyway now you're saying it would go off before. As for your data, at this stage you're probably out of luck.

Damn now I think I know what my mistake was, I installed the last Android 8 Update, I'm not sure which version that is, but the FTF was older.
The one I flashed was XPERIASITE.PL_XZ1_Compact_G8441_8.0.0_47.1.A.12.145_Germany.ftf
Do you know which FTF is the last for Android 8?
Maybe It will work if I flash that.

OK, I flashed that and I'm back to Bootloop.
At least it seems this was the right Firmware.
Anything else I could flash? Maybe bootloader helps??
This is Where It Freezes, after that screen goes black and restart.

Did you flash the same three sin files as yesterday? Bootloader is no good if your device is locked, and unlocking it wipes the phone.

Yes I thought flashing the three Files would be the best, since I flashed older Versions of that yesterday.
OK - Definitely no Bootloader.
