HELP: Stuck on sony screen after installing ROM - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

edit: fixed it, just flashed a stock FTF, i'll dot the whole process again later on and hope this time it works out
You can close teh thread (i've tried to delete it but can't find the option)

I've just checked that I can boot my phone and recovery works. But for instance when i try to put service mode it gives an error with IMEI
edit: i've booted to the other recovery (using volume up) and installed the pre-rooted FW again. Shut down and tried again the flashmode process but still no luck, red and quick green light. After booting the phone, it seems to work basically, but wifi not working, it doesn't turn on.
What should the next step be?
The computer does not recognize the phone when my connect it to the USB port, not even charge. The only thing that happens is a flash of red light then green light. Same thing if phone is shut down when i connect the usb cable, red flash, then sony screen appears, then green light, and finally it vibrates two times before showing the level of battery, but without actually charging it.
Anf if i try a Vol Down+Power when in standby and connect with usb cable, it shows a quick red then green flash, and then nothing.

Ok i fixed that problem apparently the USB cable decided to stop working...
Now i have another problem as I decided to install the deodexed ROM and now my phone gets stuck at the sony screen and i can't even boot to recovery.
What i did to install:
Boot to recovery using Volume Up (PhilZ)
Prepare to install new rom (which formats Data, cache, etc)
Install ROM form SDcard1
Everything went fine but at the end it says "root lost or something" I put yes, then rebooted to system, and got stuck on sony screen....
What did i do wrong and how to fix it??
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Boot loop with purple LED??

Hey guys,
A while back I tried to root my Xperia T and putting CWM on it. Something went wrong and I don't exactly know what. It went into a boot loop.
Every time it starts up, the LED turns purple for a couple of seconds and it reboots again. I waited for the battery to drain and honestly forgot about it.
Now i found it again and i want to get it out of the boot loop. The wierd thing is that I can get into ClockWorkMod recovery but nothing else. When in startup and I push VOL- it goes into CWM without a problem. It's like the normal firmware is missing and it can only get into CWM. Is this possible?
And i am trying to flash the stock firmware on it. But when i try to connect with my pc (drivers an flashtool in place and working) it doesn't really seem to connect. It worked 1 time out of the last 5 tries. But when i tried to flash, it said ERROR. The phone get's the blue LED when i connect it. but this only workes if my timing is exactly right in the boot loop. I will try to manage it again to get some screenshots.
I'll update when i have screenshots and everything (with the proper ERROR code)
In the meantime, does anyone have any clue of what is going on?
Thanks:good:,

Blue LED means you're in Fastboot mode, you need to put it into Flashmode (green LED) for it to work. If Vol Down puts it into Fastboot mode, then Vol Up would put it in Flashmode (I assume). Considering you're talking about timing, then it seems you don't know how to put it into Fastboot/Flash mode properly.
1.- Turn off your phone.
2.- Connect the USB cable to your computer
3.- Open Flashtool
4.- Press down the corresponding volume button (keep it pressed), and connect USB cable to your phone
Alternatively, you could also connect your sdcard to your computer and copy a flashable ROM to it, then flash it in recovery. It seems your /system partition/folder is either incomplete or damaged.

Hey,
thanks for the reply.
The problem is that i can't turn the phone off. The only way it stays off is when the battery is dead. Like it is now. I have just tried what you said. VOL- gives the green LED for flashmode. But even when it is in flashmode and connected with my pc(pc also said it's connected) it keeps rebooting. So the connection switches on and of every 30 seconds or so. I found out that there was a wrong file in the flashtool firmware folder. after trying to flash the standard firmware it tried to do something else. I've removed the file and set it up right.
When it was connected (green light and everything) I got this;
"09/025/2014 17:25:27 - ERROR - (Bundle.java:440) - Cannot delete C:\Flashtool\.\firmwares\prepared\system.sin"
"09/025/2014 17:25:39 - ERROR - (Bundle.java:440) - Cannot delete C:\Flashtool\.\firmwares\prepared\system.sin"
And that was all. I will try again in a few minutes, but maybe I missed something.
[EDIT]
Tried a few more times. VOL- to flashmode, connected with pc. Flashtool starts loading the green bar.
After a couple of minutes it stops and Flashtool says this:
09/021/2014 18:21:11 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:523) - Read error :31 : Een apparaat dat op het systeem is aangesloten, werkt niet.
09/021/2014 18:21:11 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:524) - Error flashing. Aborted
(Een apparaat dat op het systeem is aangesloten, werkt niet. -> English -> The device that is connected to the system, doesn't work.)
And the thing that irritates me most of all is the X10flash.java:52.. part. Why does it say X10flash when a Xperia T lt30p is connected en i'm trying to flash LT30_9.2.A.1.205_CH or LT30p_9.2.A.0.295_Generic IT.
I can't wrap my head around it.
I put some attachments in here so you can see what I see. Can someone see what I'm doing wrong or not doing at all?
I seriously do not know how or why. But i did it. Flashtool did not give a log or anything(with previous phones i saw a long list.) it looked like it did not do anything. but the phone is booting into android as we speak!
Thanks for the help Antiga Prime! not a lot, but enough!:laugh:
Now i need to find out how to delete all thisXD
Take the battery out and in, then leave it connected to the charger for one full day, don't do anything with it.
Xperia T doesn't let you take out the battery that easy. But it's fixed. I just need to know how to delete this thread

[Q] Tried installing ROM, phone now cannot boot. Please HELP!

Hi, I sorry to bother anyone, but I need help because my phone is not responding and I don't know what to do.
C6603, rooted, dual recovery installed, bootloader unlocked (I think)
So here's what happened. I very successfully installed the existenz ultimate rom on my phone. It was a wonderful rom and everything was going well. However, I accidentally dropped my phone and needed to send it for repair. Before sending it to the shop, I decided to do a factory reset using the option in recovery mode.
When I got the phone back from the repair shop, I wanted to install the same rom. What I did was download the rom installer and then install the zip file using the recovery mode. I went through the AROMA installer and everything, So I thought everything was going fine. When the phone rebooted, it showed the SONY logo, followed by a permanent black screen. The screen is on, it is just black.
I scoured the xda forums and I tried several things, to no avail:
I cannot enter recovery mode.
My PC cannot recognize my phone.
Flashtool cannot recognize the phone. My phone can't seem to enter flashmode, either.
I tried holding the power button and the vol. up button, and the phone does indeed restart (no vibrations), showing the SONY logo, and then I'm stuck with the black screen again.
I hope somebody can help me!
EDIT: I managed to somehow get flashmode working, so I think my phone is fine now! What a false alarm! In case this ever happens to anyone, what I did was to unplug the phone from any source of charging, then proceed to hold on the power button and vol. up button for REALLY long, I think almost 20 seconds. This managed to switch my phone off (it would keep restarting if I didn't hold in down long enough).
download stock firmware and open flashtool & ready to flash,dont connect until it say.connect your usb cable to ur phone,then reboot ur phone when display goes to black connect ur phone to pc whith pressing vol down ,then flash tool detect ur phone and it flash,sorry foe my bad english

Xperia T - dead? No led blinking..

I was formating sd card in recovery mode, and then I chose "reboot to system" option, for leaving recovery. The telephone turn off. And nothing more. The battery was about 80%.
The telephone don't react on anything. No power button (or holding power button+volumeUp). If I connect usb charger, it doesn't do anything. If I connect PC via USB, there is no new device in PC. No led blinking.
I tried charging for hole day and night, but nothing changed.
I opened the case (it is just on screw) and disconnect and reconnect the battery. But nothing changed.
So I disconnect the battery again and connect usb. The red LED now blinks every second. And when I'm holding the power button, it doesn't do anything. But it is still the same.. black screen, turned off, no computer connection..
Have you any idea, what can I do? What can I try? Thx

You shouldn't have rebooted into system after wiping it in the first place, because you have no system now. You might try flashing any custom rom's kernel (boot.img) if your device is unlocked. You do it using Flashtool. First copy the boot.img from the rom's zip and paste it somewhere, then select the lightning bolt icon in flashtool, select fastboot mode. Then connect your phone to pc while holding volume + button and keep holding it until blue led lights up. Then in flashtool on the right side choose to flash kernel and select the boot.img you copied from the rom before. After that you should be able to boot into recovery and install any custom rom. If you do not have any custom rom on your phone, you can only transfer it from pc to your microSd card using the sd card adapter and then put the sd card back in your phone.
If your bootloader is NOT unlocked, then you can only try connecting your phone to pc while holding the volume - button until green led lights up. If it doesn't light up, I believe your phone is hard bricked and you can't do anything much. If it does light up, you can download any firmware for your phone in .ftf format and flash it using the same method as described above, but instead of choosing fastboot mode, you have to choose flashmode and select the .ftf you downloaded.

This. I was in the same situation like you just few hours ago. I decided to install custom stock based rom and I rebooted after factory reset. My phone wasn't turning on or anything, just dead brick. I left it for few hours and then I saw that red led was blinking while I was trying to turn it on. So I plugged it into my PC and it was charging (first success). I used flashtool and after many, and I mean it, errors it managed to flash my stock rom.
Now I am stuck at installing CWM v7 but that is another story ; )

Help brick bootloop (flashmode only 20''??)

Hello, yesterday I tried to flash this ROM: C6603_10.7.A.0.222_Customized MEA.ftt. I succeeded, although I relized I didn't wipe...so I (fool of me) flashed again, and here is when the trouble came.
Flash failed and since then I got the SONY screen and then a message saying: "the software update failed. make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again" and then shut off itself. If I try to charge to the electricity socket it is when the loop comes in...this time no error screen, just sony and turns off and on sony screen offs, etc...
I thought of flashing again, but the problem here is when the device won't stand in flashmode more than 15-20 seconds and then the red light led turns off (as if the device had been disconnected) and therefore flashing is impossible (it starts correctly but when the red light turns off a error message "31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning" appears, as if I unplugged the phone...)
I also tried to restore with pc companion but the problem of the short flashmode still goes on. What can I do????why the device turns off (or it seems that) after connecting to the pc??
Curiously, I can get to fastboot mode (when connected to the pc, if I push UP button led light turn blue and keep it until I unplug, contrarily to what happens with the flahsmode)
The model is unlocked bootloader, but it is not rooted and I could not install recovery, so wiping through it is dismissed...
Is it possible to flash from fastboot (since in flashmode is impossible?)
I also tried a hard reset by pushing + and - buttons while starting, and 3 vibres happen and it tuns off but the problem still continue...
PLEASE HELPPPPPP

[Troublshoot]Phone is stuck on bootloop, can't access recovery mode

I'm new to this business so I might not know everything.
I wanted to install Lolipop on my xperia sp using cyanogenmod 12.1. I rooted it with towelroot, got superuser and installed Rashr to get a recovery mode program. It asked me to make a back up first, so I did. Then I went on an selected TWPR img and it flashed a partition but didn't reboot as it asked me to, I then realized I missed some steps in the installation process.
So I went on and used the backup Rashr made and it also cleaned a partition. Then I rebooted. Since then, it's stuck in bootloop, the screen flashes on and off just pure black and never reaches the logo just solid black. I tried turning it off from the back, going into recovery mode but I couldn't(I held the buttons for at least 2 min and it wouldn't work), it would just light the blue led for a little and then resume to the loop.
PC, Sony companion doesn't recognize it. It only sees it when I try to go into recovery mode(power + volume up) while it is plugged in and appears in device manager as "S1boot Fastboot", I left it for a good 10 min to install the driver, but it wouldn't.
I don't have bootloader unlocked. Right now I left it on so it could drain the battery, but it should take a long time for that to happen. Please help me!!
FIXED
After looking for other fixes, I found this guide and it worked just great.
I've a problem:
My phone is unlocked, UBL, with original 205 firmware. Sometimes it's turned off, the boot was problem: few bootloot before load the system. I installed twrp and cwm, but reinstall twrp, from twrp, and it's the problem. If I power on in flash mode, the phone exit from flash mode after 43 sec. and light is red. After 63 sec go to back to flash mode. I don't flash my phone. Help please! Sorry my english.
