Help recover files from soft bricked Stock 5.0.2 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
was updating my stock Xperia z 6603 on Android 5.0.2 to 5.1.1
The update failed and my device is soft bricked. Is there any way I can recover data from it??
Is there any way I can go from a soft bricked stock 5.0.2 to a custom ROM directly?
Obviously need to get phone up and running again ASAP so all help that can help me get there ASAP is hugely appreciated.
Thanks
Neil

can you still boot into recovery to flash rom ?
if yes then download the rom you want and put it in your sdcard and flash
if no, you can only download the ftf and flash it using flashtool. Remember to exclude the wipe data/apps while flashing

try to connect ur device to PC and flash stock rom by flashtool , maybe you only catch bootloop

xperia z bricked c6602

my phone was rooted and cwm installed. i tried to flash aura rom and after that it just show sony logo. please help me how to unbrick it?
Use SUS application (Sony Update Service), this will re-install the stock ROM. But note that using this will wipe your internal storage
Here is the download link for the Sony Update Service. http://software.sonymobile.com/insta...-2.13.3.43.exe
this works only for Locked bootloader and it will wipe your internal storage.
just download this application , this is sony update service , select your device in the application and it will flash a stock rom on your device

Thanks a lot for your reply. I will try it tommorow.
it works i did the same installing another rom which said worked with locked bootloaders but got the sony symbol appear.
it does make you panic tho as it took me a while to figure out how to do it this will help alot of people who think they have bricked there phone.
can anyone flash roms on locked bootloaders?
i can flash sound mods they work fine but not these roms people are making with stock kernals
But why did it brick? Is aura rom not compatible with locked bootloader?
For me too it worked liked a charm. But the Rom wasn't installed don't know why. It was stuck in between.

[Q] Xperia Soul and Prime HD made my phone just a brick :|

Hi,
I had Prime HD 9 on my X8 with stock kernel. I took a backup from my device with CWM 4 and then I had installed the last version of Xperia Soul rom by FoRRoX by a zip file. finally I didn't like it and decided to restore my previous rom, but I had forget to format Data and Cache before restoring. So, after that my phone sucks at startup Sony Ericsson logo and I cannot do anything with that and my device doesn't charge.
I don't know what is the reason and that isn't my first time that I change my rom and I don't know what I can do? I have tried to flash my phone with Androxyde Flash Tool, but I couldn't find a .ftf firmware. Can you help me about this problem ??

Did you unlock the bootloader?

To repair it, just flash a stock FTF

You must flash full stock ftf file.
Flashtool says you must be rooted because you dont have your bootloader unlocked!

Infinix hot 2 boot loop after updating to marshmallow

Hi,
Please could you help me to find a solution for my infinix hot 2 it's now in a loop boot after I update it (from android I didn't flash any rom) to marshmallow.
I tried recovery mode (volume up + power when logo appears click/holdclick volume up ) but doesn't work seems like a security update make the recovery mode workable only after flash the phone please is there a solution to get into recovery mode?
U cud do a clean flash with sp flashtool by flashing this 6.0 backup
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ukKq9qHhpBZXN2SFhBMWMyY2c/view am sure ur familiar with sp flashtool.

It appears you ran an OTA update on a rooted phone. That'll definitely brick your Hot 2.
All you need to do is either flash back the Lollipop firmware or the Marshmallow ROMDump we created.
Would be happy to guide you through fixing it if you can get a PC

Thank you a lot for your answer I have a pc actually but I don't know what steps I should follow.
The phone can't be detected by pc because I can't access Recovery mode

Not to worry about.
Before we proceed, would you prefer Lollipop or Marshmallow running on your phone
