I will describe what programs showing because i have polish version and maybe you can't understand them:
When i'm trying to connect to pc companion when pc recognise phone i'm geting message PC companion could not connect with device disconnect device and try again
When trying do sof/hard reset nothing happens
When trying to pull in fastboot or flash mode pc recognise phone always the same in conrtol panel ZEUS FLASH device pc also recognise in thisa mode without battery and without pushing any buttons but i'm not geting any led Green or blue only when i'm conecting charger or usb cable WITHOUT battery it blinks red ones
When i'm trying to flash with flashtool or original update service when program is on screen asking me to connect the device i plug usb pc recognising the phone (usb connected device sound) but program doesn't start to flash or even recognise
i have also setool when i'm trying to flash by setool when program is waiting for device connecting bar is moving on down side of window when i connect the phone it is stoping like it tries to connect but nothing happens....
i was thinking to try this but i have cheked battery voltage and it is 3,88 so i thing it is fully charged:
Here are the steps I took successfully revise my phone from soft brick.
Let the phone charge (long long time = 4+ hrs) on wall charger.
Red light on (constantly - not flashing) - charge until red light off (again very long time =16+ hrs)
Unplug from wall
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode
While hold volumn down and plug in USB
Red light will be back on, after a few seconds - flash will run.
Unplug USB then power on - phone will boot and die (it's okay don't worry)
Charge the phone again - after a while (or let it charge full), you can now turn on the phone.
That is all ... Back and running.
GOOD Luck.
Timing = could be different from phone to phone - depends on battery of the phone before it dead.
please do you have any idea? for me it hangs in some kind of boot mode and i don't know how to kick it fromthis and reflash if any screens can help please tell me i will do them

You have an xperia T, then how can you connect the phone to the PC WITHOUT a battery? It is not removable in the Xperia T!
Have you flashed anything to the device before this happened?
EDIT
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode

OK,
Yes thats true but it sounds similar to a problem I have come across before. But this happened when someone flashed the S1 update on the TX instead of the T.
Have you unistalled evrything android/sdk/adb related from your computer and started again.
Also, you can try another machine.
Are you on win8? That has issues with drivers from Sony.

I dont know where testpoint is on xperia T as we have never been down that road here.
Has he tried to use EMMA to flash something? That is meant only for unlocked bootloaders, maybe he has messed up with that, but I am onl guessing here and i cant really see why that would do anything to the boot...
Maybe he tried to flash it, dropped it, broke it, and thinks a software hack can help him....

Hello
So my phone is completely dead. I manage to restore the lg logo and go in the CWM revovery(with Optimus Toolkit 6 in 1 v1.1.1) ,but when I try to mount mass storage my PC say that I need to Format my disk. I tryed and it didn't help. CWM recovery is by far I got,before that I used smartflash, nvlfash(10a) and Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy)(TOOL).
This Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy) helped me 2 days ago when my phone stuck in lg logo,but now i just stop and say bootloader(bad data).
So what should I do if nothing works for me? Is there any why or my phone is completely bricked?
I'm sorry for bad english or if I wrote something stupid. And yes I looked on forum,google,and other forums and coludn't find anything
I hope this thread won't be deleted
Thanks in advance for help

mate,
I am not sure if the tool kit you are mentioning about. But try to use this one which works perfectly for the O2X P990.maybe it is an issue of the CWM or bootloader if you dont have the correct ROM based on your bootloader.if you have a white LG logo then you are on the old bootloader....if you have the pink LG logo, then you are on the new boot loader.you have to choose the ROM according to the boot loader you have.the other one will not work.
ALL IN ONE TOOL KIT by Spyrosk the excellent developer
Hope this helps
Well with this tool I manage to Flash New Unlocked Bootloader with cwm recovery.
I managed to get in cwm,bet when i want the mass storage it PC say it the disk must be formated. So I tryed that couple of times and it didn't help.
So what should I do? Now I'm stuck in cwm recovery :S

did you install the nvflash driver?
GUYS!!!! read again, he is stuck IN cwm, he wants to connect to USB mass storage... now I assume he wants to copy a rom into the external SD card, but he can't do it (obviously) because PC can't recognize the phone (but he is a noob, he doesnt know that).
Now to continue your quest you CANT connect you phone to your windows PC until you install a rom, to install a rom you need to have a file compressed in .zip in your microSD card, you need to remove your microSD card from your phone and use an USB adapter and plug it to your PC and copy a rom to your microSD card and insert it to your phone and now in CMW flash the rom (flash means intalling) and you're done , if you can't do it then download a stock rom in KDZ or FLS format, to flash your rom, but I seriously suggest you do the first recommendation, flash the rom with nvflash.
If you get stuck again don't forget to ask, some will want to help and reply :good:
Hi. I think I've bricked a phone. First, it was somehow soft-bricked, so I wanted to repair it. I read somewhere on the forums, that flashing into it may help. So I did that. I followed the steps and saw that a green light appeared. I wanted to check if PC Companion repair would work then (the program is installed on other computer), but didn't know how to turn-off the flash mode, so I just quit the FlashTool. Then the phone didn't start again and I'm now screwed. Is it really a hard-brick? Please, help me. It was not my phone :/
Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) that should help u to go back to stock rom, and be ok.

if your phone is not 11w29+ its okay..maybe just soft brick
and u can flash it into stock kernel again eclair 2.1
u can download from my signature
BUT
if your manufacture phone is 11w29+..ehhmmm i dont know dude
Can you explain what had you done before you "soft-brick" your phone?
Actually, how to quit the flash mode in your phone is just plug out your USB Cable, if the flashing process haven't finished, don't plug it out anyway.
(If you could understand my language.. Hehe)
Try to flash it again.

I'm not sure if you guys understood me. I can't even get into Sony Ericson logo screen now. The PC Companion doesn't see the phone. I'm currently downloading the firmware and will try to flash in 10 minutes.
@MatthewWu: I unlocked bootloader, installed xRecover or sth like that, and then installed the zip file with romfrom phone's flashcard. If it's important, I changed some assert(<text here>) lines to just one assert() in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, cause the installation didn't work without that.
The phone is 10W42.
Yup, I can't flash into it. Nothing happens when I follow the steps.
Try to flash Original Flash File and follow the steps correctly. (2.1-eclair)
I think that you didn't flash the right kernel when you install the ROM's zip file.
Hello to everybody.
In the process of porting ColorOS on Sony Xperia Z (C6603) I’ve probably done something wrong because when I reboot the phone won’t turn on, the diodes are off. My PC recognize the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008. I understand the bootloader is damaged. Is there anyone who can provide me with recovery instructions without JTAGG or RIFF box? May be it can be done through QSTP and HDDRawCopy.

Sure the bootloader is damaged? I mean what does FlashTool tell you when you connect the phone in flash mode?
from my experience with my old HTC Incredible S, and from what i understand, the bootloader will remain intact unless fiddled with, its just the phone doesn't know what to do after the bootloader stage.
my incredible S also got that HS USB message at some point, but i didn't touch the bootloader.
however if you did mess around with the bootloader then thats a different story.

Yes, I’m sure that it’s the bootloader. Because the phone does not respond to any buttons pressing, neither the turn on button nor the volume button. When the phone is connected to the PC and you turn it on, there is only a sound of a connected device. The phone doesn’t respond. Both the screen and diodes are off. FlashTool asks to connect the device, although any actions don’t let it happen.
In QSTP-eMMC Software Download it is recognized, but I need the files xml, hex and mbn for my phone. So I would try to restore the bootloader. But I don’t know where to find these files and how to use this program in the right way. That’s why I’m asking whether there is some kind of instruction.
First, you need to detail exactly what you did/what you flashed to your device to end up in this situation. Nobody can really provide any meaningful assistance without this information.
I will start off by saying that if you wiped or wrote over /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 then your device is permanently hard bricked. That is the trim area (TA partition) for this device and tampering with it will irreversibly brick your phone.
What happens when you connect your phone to your PC via USB when holding either volume +/-? (Try both).
I'm not sure of your knowledge on this phone, so forgive me if you already tried that.
If you damaged/destroyed your bootloader, then I don't think there are any tools available to write one back to your device and I don't think recovery tools from other devices are any use for the Z.

I flash the stock of Color OS from Oppo Find 5 with a minor changes...I forgot o delete mbn files from it..I think that is problem...How I can verify that I wrote over /dev/block/mmcblk0p1?
yes I'm tryied to connect while holding the volume buttons...and nothing
QSTP view my phone...maybe...it can be restored
According to this post by a RD, QDLOAD doesn't work for this device.
Check the update script for the rom you flashed to your phone to see what you did.
Edit - This post by @[NUT] contains an image listing the partition table for our device. If you flashed anything to a partition used by the bootloader or to the TA, then it seems you have permanently bricked your phone, unfortunately.

That's a part of update-script from build that I flashed
Any solutions? Or It's over?
I'm not sure what you want anyone to say/do.
If you're capable of porting a rom, then you should be able to check if you wrote to a partition used by the bootloader or the TA. If you did, then your phone is unfortunately permanently dead.
Sorry.

Can you help me with Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008
I think i need a box for it right
any solution for this i am facing same problem on my xperia m
I wanted to have a more secure phone so I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt it... wrong. I waited around 40 minutes for the device to fully encrypt then I went to decrypt my phone and it doesn't decrypt and instead just reboots and asks to be decrypted again. I have tried the sony update service, followed all the steps and when it tries to install the s1 bootloader it fails instantly.
I really need to access my phone >.<
Thank you,

You used flashtool aswell? It will fully reset and reflash your device but this will erase all data.

It literally just starts up like normal and then goes to decrypt your phone screen.
Okay this means it is not bricked but just stuck.
Turn off your phone and connect it into Flashmode (Plug in cable and hold power down untill you see a green led) to your computer.
If I'm right windows (I assume you are running windows) will start installing drivers. After that reboot computer and follow my tutorial again
