Hi
I bought the ZR a month ago, but opened the box about 3 weeks ago, , I updated it to 4.3 via OTA freshly out of the box.
It was working fine until last week, got one messsage "android phone stopped working" once, then I wasn't able to hear when calling or recieving a call. Everything else was still working.
Now, two days ago I turn it off and on, the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically. This repeats indefinetly, if I don't turn it off as soon as the homescreen appears, I have to remove the battery because power key doesnt responds.
I got the phone from an ebay seller
I live in Peru.
Excuse my english.

Switch off your Xperia ZR first
Press and hold the Volume Down button
Connect to your PC using a USB Cable while holding down the Volume Down button on your Xperia ZR
Before plugging in the USB cable on your Xperia ZR make sure that the other end of USB cable is already connected to the PC.
Your Xperia ZR should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green

you have to install the drivers for your ZR ! Go in C:\flashtool then go in Drivers folder and then search for Xperia ZR ( you will find it with name Xperia A)
after you install the drivers power off your phone and boot in flashmode and then install the rom.. No matter if is rusian version or any version .. you can swich the language after you install the rom .. Maybe you will find some preinstalled apps on your device but that`s all Hope i helped you ..

That's impossible. Go to Flashtool folder. U will find the driver folder and Flashtool-drivers.exe to be run to install the required driver for ZR. Run it and tick the nessesary driver and clicked installed and u're done.

Are you on windows 8?. Windows 8 requires some special steps to install the xperia A drivers. You have to disable the driver signature enforcement first then install the drivers.
I don't know about ZR but your log says USB debugging is off .
So enable USB debugging.
And make sure you are not in mtp mode in USB connectivity

OK... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware. Because i flashed my phone for some times and flashtool did not said something about errors and drivers was ok.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...
Any thoughts?
Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.
Hello everyone!
My C6903 (rooted, unlocked bootloader, cwm working, drivers properly installed on computer) is currently on a bootloop. It works in fastboot but it can't enter flashmode properly. During this process the led lighting on my device is not on green light its just dead but in fastboot its blue all the time. it show this log

after that my phone would just boot up and get stuck on a bootloop again.
Additional question. In flashtool there are 2 options when we hit the lightning button, the flashmode and the fastboot mode. Can i use the fastboot to flash the ftf file? If yes what are the safe steps?
Help please! Thanks!
Give more infor.
What did you do before this happend, what you wanted to do.
Check your usb cable to see if you have a loose pin.that can cause the device to get disconnected(from experience),just try to push in the usb cable when flashing
Fixed
I have fixed it guys! Thank you all!
I flashed cyanogenmod and then connected my device while its on, running flashtool. just choose your device on the options that pops up. and just wait.
INFO - Running installftkit as root thru sysrun
I was stuck on the log above for several minutes and i just disconnected my device.
i run flashtool again but first I clicked the lightning button then flashmode.
Choose your ftf file then flash it.
wait for the prompt from flashtool to connect your device.
connect your device (it should be off) while holding the volume down
the process should start smoothly now.
Hey everyone,
Have a bit of a major problem with my Xperia SP right now and I am hoping someone can help. I originally was on Windows 8.1 and had some major issues with the system, among one of these when I tried to install Flashtool drivers from the included file, I had to go through all the resetting and reinstalling to get driver enforcement off however when the drivers installed I connected my device and it was fine.
Then I tried to put the phone in Flash Mode and everything was going downhill, basically I connected my phone as I had done a thousand times previously on windows 7 and the phone would go green for about 3 seconds then red light and go into charging mode. If this was done when requested from flashtool it would detect it was connected but I get an error with loader.sin as below....

02/049/2014 03:49:50 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Now in normal circumstances this means your bootloader cannot be unlocked right? However my bootloader is unlocked.... and confirmed by service menu and also I have been using unlocked bootloader ROM's....
So anyway I eventually had enough of Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 (separate partitions are a beautiful thing ) and tried again.... same process same result. The best bit is on both systems I cannot forcefully uninstall any phone drivers because i just get an endless loop of failures unless I do it before connecting the phone once to the computer. The way the phone reacts in flashtool is as if the phone is permentantly in Flash Mode however its not and still stays the same way until I reboot my computer.
I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling but nothing is working. I even tried a different cable just in case and nothing. This only affects flash mode or the entire phone once flash mode has been activated once and then it affects the entire system and wont allow me to restart normally without pressing the reset button on my case even if the phone isn't connected and I also cannot do anything with the drivers anymore at this point.
I am actually trying to relock my bootloader and go back to stock as I will be selling the phone later this week. I flashed a cut down stock ROM from XDA using recovery but now its flashed I no longer have recovery either since it was stock and I have no root privileges now xD
Ideally what I am aiming for is to relock bootloader through flashmode, then use sony tool to reinstall full official firmware. This issue also happens with Sony tool by the way.
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!
Also tried to reinstall all drivers and Sony tool as well, MTP driver installation failed but all others went ahead and I got this on Flashtool

Would you like to use a Linux version of Flashtool? I will guide you from the very Live USB booting, UDEV implementation, and lastly the flashing process
Though please note I am quite busy, so my replies will be quite slow.

Hey everyone,
Have a bit of a major problem with my Xperia SP right now and I am hoping someone can help. I originally was on Windows 8.1 and had some major issues with the system, among one of these when I tried to install Flashtool drivers from the included file, I had to go through all the resetting and reinstalling to get driver enforcement off however when the drivers installed I connected my device and it was fine.
Then I tried to put the phone in Flash Mode and everything was going downhill, basically I connected my phone as I had done a thousand times previously on windows 7 and the phone would go green for about 3 seconds then red light and go into charging mode. If this was done when requested from flashtool it would detect it was connected but I get an error with loader.sin as below....

02/049/2014 03:49:50 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
02/049/2014 03:49:50 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Now in normal circumstances this means your bootloader cannot be unlocked right? However my bootloader is unlocked.... and confirmed by service menu and also I have been using unlocked bootloader ROM's....
So anyway I eventually had enough of Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 (separate partitions are a beautiful thing ) and tried again.... same process same result. The best bit is on both systems I cannot forcefully uninstall any phone drivers because i just get an endless loop of failures unless I do it before connecting the phone once to the computer. The way the phone reacts in flashtool is as if the phone is permentantly in Flash Mode however its not and still stays the same way until I reboot my computer.
I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling but nothing is working. I even tried a different cable just in case and nothing. This only affects flash mode or the entire phone once flash mode has been activated once and then it affects the entire system and wont allow me to restart normally without pressing the reset button on my case even if the phone isn't connected and I also cannot do anything with the drivers anymore at this point.
I am actually trying to relock my bootloader and go back to stock as I will be selling the phone later this week. I flashed a cut down stock ROM from XDA using recovery but now its flashed I no longer have recovery either since it was stock and I have no root privileges now xD
Ideally what I am aiming for is to relock bootloader through flashmode, then use sony tool to reinstall full official firmware. This issue also happens with Sony tool by the way.
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Download and run the Xperia SP driver installer to check if you have the driver installed. Here's the link.
http://www.driverscape.com/download/xperia-sp
I have rooted my Z3C successfully. Then I have done the update for the Xperia. Since then the phone has died. It doesn't respond to anything.
I have downloaded flash tool version 9.18.6. When I connect the phone it says "debugging mode is off".
I have tried holding the volume DOWN button while I connect the USB cable, nothing happened.
I have tried holding the volume UP button while I connect the USB cable, nothing happened.
Here is the log from the flashtool:

I have installed the drivers that come with flashtool.
Flashmode driver
Fastboot driver
Xperia Z3 Device Driver
Xperia Z3 Compact Device Driver
Xperia Z3 Tablet Device Driver
I also tried Window 7. I got the same error. I tried the Flashtool on Mac. I got an error says "Flashtool quit unexpectedly".
Any thought?
Connect the phone when flashtool prompts you too. Initially just select the firmware. When the prompt comes up, connect your phone then

I connect the phone when the Flashtool ask me to connect it. Is that what you mean?
Also, does it matter if I do not have the SIM OR SD card inserted in the phone?
have you tried setools by any chance ?

No, but it doesn't seem that setool work with Z3 compact!
Oke so i finally got araund to do my daily driver sony xz1 compact and when i tried to unlock the bootloader using flashtool also know as sony mobile flasher by androyxde.
I get the following error
ERROR - Cannot invoke “String.split(String)” because the return value of “java.util.Properties.getProperty(String)” is null
Now i looked everywhere on the internet literally and i could not find a awnser to my problem but i did find multiple people with this problem but no defenitive awnser…
but i kept looking and i found that my computer can not find my phone exactlly because when i use command and try adb devices it cant see it but fastboot mode it can.
So i looked for an awnser and said probally need to update your drivers so i downloaded drivers from the sony site installed them then got the message that i have to restart computer before it can go into effect and i do that and then nothing stil does not work i see no adb devices in the list.
oh and i selected the allow unknow drivers from the security option in windos 10 so that should be oke.
I think this might be the problem that adb devices cant be read seeing as it has to be in that mode when trying to unlock the bootloader in flashtool.
This is what it shows in the program

It's been a while since I've done it but I think you need the Google USB drivers and the 15sec ADB driver. If I remember, the Sony driver doesn't work for ADB/Fastboot. You'll need to update/assign one driver while it's connected in normal mode and do the other while it's in fastboot mode.
Thank you for your fast reply
I already had 15 sec adbdriver and for the assigning driver i dont quite understand but i tried it in difrent modes and it tells it already has the most up to date drivers.
stil doesnt work
what am i missing ?

Did you assign the drivers manually? Windows will almost always tell you that you have the most up-to-date drivers and leave it at that. You need to go to device manager, right click update driver and then select browse my computer for drivers. It'll give you the option to search a location on your computer but you want the 2nd option that says Let Me Pick from a List of Available Drivers on my Computer.
I also reread your OP and saw you're using sony mobile flasher by androyxde. I don't remember ever using that. It was several years ago but I only used newflasher, renoroot and adb/fastboot. I used newflasher to downgrade to Oreo, renoroot to back up TA and adb/fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Then I did the process in reverse to have an unlocked BL and the latest Pie version.

You need newflasher to downgrade to oreo so you can unlock bootloader.
If you have the ADB driver, then you need the Google USB driver.
If none of this helps, I'm sorry but I can't offer any more.
i need to downgrade to oreo so i can unlock bootloader ?
i didnt know that what is the reason for this ?
hmmm is there a how to on the site or somewhere that i may have missed somehowe ? seems weird to me there isnt alot of info about this doesnt have everyone had the same problem at some point?
Anyway thank you for your help
when on my computer can see it so it works
when in fastboot mode it can be seen so it has the right driver (can also be seen in command)
however android adb interface has a ! mark and gives me a code 10 error ?
Edit: i deleted the one with the ! so no more code 10 error but i then tried literally every single one in the list but noone works ? with that i mean it shows the device works but i can not use command adb devices and adb reboot bootloader does stil not work
I ****ed up i had it ... it worked i dont know what i did but it worked so i go back to flashtool thinking to get this over with now suddenlly i get error missing driver? and that i should go to the driver folder and i go there and install al of them just in case i then try it again but now i get the same error i had in the beginning ? adb doesnt work anymore and now i try to install adb driver but it wont work ??? damn 2 steps front 3 steps back
Anyone willing to help me install drivers i just cant seem to get it to work?
I ended up reinstalling windows 10 and then tried again and then it worked.
