Hello everyone!
Sorry for my bad English I'm not a native speaker..
So let me explain my problem. I have a Sony Xperia Sp and it's been stuck on the same loop...SONY logo-->XPERIA logo-->colors....This problem occurred when I tried to root my phone. Here's what happened...I downloaded the superuser app from the Play Store and I installed it successfully. When I opened the app I couldn't do anything cause it said that I needed permission...After that I went and downloaded the King-Root from my phone browser and I installed that too successfully ...I opened the app and first opened something called "Purify" and it did some stuff and it asked me to proceed...so I did that and when it finished it asked me to allow access to superuser app that I had downloaded earlier and I pressed "allow"..Then it asked me to reboot and pressed okay. After that my phone never rebooted again and it's stuck on that loop.
I can't access anything on my phone. The only thing I've tried, is that I pressed the power-off button with the back "off" button (a small orange one in the back of the phone) and it vibrated 3 times and then it closed and I when I powered it on again it did the same loop again ....plus SUS is no longer available.....
I have no idea what to do...
Thanks for your time I really appreciate it

Flash stock ROM via Flashtool,
Then root using Towelroot,
Then install SuperSU from playstore.

Hey guys,
First off, from a xda noob, that video you have to see at registration - genius.
Second, to get down to business, I have this stupid X8 (11W48, if it means anything to you) that has been giving me trouble since I got it.
It restarted itself randomly, which was not that big a deal until it started happening every hour or so,
then it started giving me errors all the time (I couldn't in any way enter my settings, force closes it),
and now finally, after trying the button combinations to force a factory reset, it's on constant loop, booting up to the logo and then restarting itself over and over and over again.
I never actually did anything to it, except for the usual apps from the market and stuff, so I guess that wouldn't cause the issue.
Now I don't quite know what to do. I can't go for PCC or Flashtool, really, cause I've tried - it tells me it recognizes the device (provided it doesn't restart right away and kill the connection) but the debugging mode or something is not turned on.
How the duck can I factory reset it? Or fix it at all?
And yes, I've tried searching, but I haven't come across a problem like this.
Please don't tell me to send it to Sony or something :crying:
Thanks
Hey,
Unfortunately I think you've a damaged x8..
I'd send to sony cause there is nothing you can do in the condition it's in. You need usb debugging on to attempt to fix it.
Maybe remove battery for an hour or so. Let the phone go cold inside.
You might get into settings upon reboot.
Good luck!!

Use flashtool....
You don't need to turn on your phone for that...
Here..

don't be panic at this moments, your X8 is just Softbricked Okay! just SOFT.
if it still shows the Sony Ericsson logo,Still vibrate when turn on-its fine.
you need to use PC companion correctly and properly to get the
PC companion recognize your X8
note:-if you have PCC before and used hardly with your X8,PCC may not work properly in repairing our phone
so,
-uninstall completely your PC companion(restart)
-clean Registry and other left over pieces of the PC companion files(Restart)
-download a fresh copy of PC companion here:http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
-install it and restart
-open PC companion and go to the support Zone(wait it to download approx 2mb)
-and click software update on it
-and then click repair my phone.
Note:the firmware and the updating tool download may take as long as half hour depending on your Internet Speed
that's all, just follow the step on screen just tick tick tick and do what its says.
after that select your X8 if its in the list and its says you need to
plug in your device while holding back button.just do it.and you can see some magic automatically on your PC screen.
after finished unplug your device and turn it on. you will back to original pure 2.1 SE skinned android.
IF YOU HATE DOING THE PROCEDURE AT THE TOP!!!
go to http://androxyde.github.com/
download the flash tool and install it.
you need to download Original X8's firmware you can find in Gogeta's signature
you need to put the X8 firmware in the C:/Flashtool/firmwares/drop it here
open flash tool and click the Flash button and it pop-up with default flash mode just click OK
and it shows a window with 2 firmware with included X10 firmware and the X8 firmware that
you dropped in select X8 carefully and don't click anything just click OK
after you clicked OK you will see couple of logs in the screen and says
preparing files for flashing and after seconds it says you need to
connect your device. and do the on screen procedure,
after it detect the device,MAGIC will happen in your PC screen.
that's all simple procedure.
Requirements:
cool head and clear aye.
I went for the Flashtool way - it worked! Thank you so much!
so that why i say don't be so panic or stressed when doing this type of job.
use Flashtool the way it should be and don't play with it too much!
maybe you will hardbrick your X8 if flash non-X8 firmwares...
use Flashtool when necessarily needed.
Hello,
I want to ask you for some help. I've rooted my phone with Vroot 1.7 downloaded from the official page. I didn't realised before rooting that i had installed Supersu app (downloaded from Play Store, for testing root privileges when i installed .254 from PC Companion). The Vroot tool install a different app for manage root (a chinese one) and i think that the problem is there, in the conflict between those apps.
Now i can't turn on my phone, just continue rebooting loops and the screen only shows the "SONY" logo when i try to turn it on. I think it is soft bricked because it responds to the internal OFF button.
I also tried to repair my phone from the Support Zone in PC Companion but it didn't work. I need some help because i haven't phone and im getting nervous =S
Thank you.
Just download a stock FTF for your mobile from here and flash it using FLASHTOOL this will solve your problem

Do you have Flashtool and flashmode drivers installed?
Finally managed to fix it as my friend came round with his computer and fixed it for me but thanks for replying and sorry also am I meant to delete this page or what
Hi everyone
So just to let you guys know i have also searched the internet for what i am about to ask you.Including this site.I have had many good pages on this website to try and help with my problem.But sadly with no luck,my issue was different.so that when i decided to finally create an account to get some help and hopefully help others too!(which i doubt).So now to my problem.I have a sony xperia Z1 and had rooted it using the king root app and then used the command to replace with super user.All was well and good until i tried to do duel recovery.i feel thats where i mustve messsed up.I am sure my boot loader is locked but the file i used was a version that worked with a locked bootloader.so i installed it via connecting my phone to the usb and use some software to install.Sorry i thing i must have forgot what i used.Hopefully that is not important.all went well and when my phone restarted it went staright to twrp.I decied to wipe cache and data inc internal and dalvic cache.But when i restared all i got was the sony logo frozed.Nothing would happen.i would try entering recovery mode or flashing mode or what ever you call it by pressing vol up and power.All this does it makes my phone vibarate 3 times but thats not the prob;em as normally i would presume the phone is off but no its not as when i put it on charge it comes on with the logo and all.but when i connect to my pc to try and reflash nothing.i have tried using xperia flash tool but when i follow the instructions nothing happens.and to be fair i dont even know wif i followed them righ as for all i know my phone could be off.i attempted pc companion to try and sort it out but it dosnt give me an option to reflash.only upgrade and when i do press that it says i must remove my battery and sim but i cant.i am worried if i leave it on charge it will turn really hot cuz thats what i done for like an hour and it was extremly hot.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just Flash stock Lollipop with .Ftf format by flashtool (flashmode), you can find everything on XDA.
Hello!
I have rooted my XP a long time ago with kingroot. switched to supersu after. No unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to change my font to a different one, which worked in the past. But now i am stuck in bootloop! (
I cannot use sony pc companion as the phone reboots all the time!
please help me as this is the only phone that i have!
I can hear the pc detecting the device but soon after the device reboots and it disconnects.
oh god, how many times I've heard this! please use the search button....!!!
anyway, last time I say this, when using flash tool, and you press the flash button, and it says waiting for phone, at the time (you have less than 1 sek actually, you have to try a couple of times to get it right) the phone is rebooting, right after the screen brightens up, hit the volume DOWN, led goes green, plug the usb in the pc (actually do this where you connect the micro usb first and the usb is really close to be plugged in but not in just yet, and when the time is right you push it all.)
I don't know if my explanation is understandable by you, if not check in youtube, there are a plenty of videos on how to put your xperia z in flash mode.
good luck
Thanks for your reply. I did manage to finally turn off the device and after i could repair it with pc companion. I have no recovery installed as i haven't unlocked my bootloader. So i couldn't use flasher as you said.
Now im on stock 5.1.1 rooted with kingroot + supersu script.

Anyway, good for you, you solved it by your own.
Flashtool actually (not the one provided by sony) can solve any problem, as long its not hardware related.
