Hi, i have xperia V (protoype). It was working fine, until i decide to put new Android (i was 4.0.4 on it). I don't have much of experience in flashing, but i did success already with my two other phones (ARC and P ), so i thought this time will be easy as usually. but...
phone was dead as stone..i spend more than week to trying all methods what i was able to find. now it's a big mess in my head and my PC, but now i made phone to start in recovery menu. thats all. tried install different roms, cyanomodgens-nothing... it just shows me SONY-->cyanomodgen and freez. at the moment flashtool can't see my phone.
if anyone can help me what to do( step by step), how to make this phone working again -i will be very happy person.
sorry for english.

just make it clear.. is it menu when need to press volume button when "sony" appears on the screen?
i can't tell you exactly how i did it- i did it with flashboot (boot.img or something), don't remember. didn't touch the phone for week, because i don't know what and how to do. as i said, i need step-by-step advice from beginning. if anyone will help me-i will be sooo happy
1. Is your bootloader unlocked - and did you test if your BL is/was unlockable?
If BL is unlocked correctly:
2. Try to flash another kernel in recovery,such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223534
Then try to install a CM-ROM for example.

p.s. tried another CM-and again: "sony"->"cyanogenmod"->blank screen (phone is on)
We cannot help you unless you answer our questions correctly.
BL unlocked correctly?
Already tried another kernel?

That sounds strange - because you said that service menu allowed unlocking bootloader. To be honest, I don't know what happens if try to unlock a bootloader which is not unlockable.
Regarding flashing: Take the NKernel from my link, open the ZIP file and extract the kernel.elf.
Then flash elf file via fastboot: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
And then try to get into recovery and then try to flash a CM ROM like this from your external SD: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/39793/cm-10.1.3-RC1-tsubasa.zip (10.1.3-RC1).

It's in #7 where I asked you the first time to try another kernel!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52279445&postcount=7
Try installing the ROM with NKernel recovery, otherwise you can flash the boot.img from the CM ROM (inside zip, also via fastboot). Can you install the ROM with one of the kernels?

ok... i installed kernel.elf, when i reboot into recover mode i was unable to choose anything-touchscreen doesn't respond, buttons does nothing aswell.
i'm sure i do everything ok, but every time phone stuck on second screen after "sony"
after flahsing boot.img phone stuck on first screen"sony"
p.s i don't know if that is important, but almost every time pc trying to instal drivers, but...MTP drivers was not instaled

That's normal, you can't boot a CM Rom with NKernel (which is for stock 4.1). You always need the right kernel for every Rom (and Rom generation - a CM 11 kernel won't boot with CM 10.2).
It was just to test if recovery is working. But you say it doesn't respond? Of course tochscreen is not working in CWM! You have to navigate with Vol up/down and enter via power button. I hope you know that?!
Go ahead and try different kernels/Roms. Like this: http://aokp.co/devices/tsubasa
Install boot.img from zip via fastboot, go into recovery and try to install the AOKP Rom from your externel SD card. Does recovery work? Can you install Rom?

yes, i know have to use vol + -, but noone button works.
one more q.. it doesn't matter prototype phone or not? uufff.. i'm almost give up. looks like i'm doing same and same every time and no effect.
thanks for helping and not leaving me alone with that head pain
p.s. just installed boot.img, but when tried to run recovery-just dead androbot appears on the screen
Sorry, but I've got no idea.
I never had the problem that a flashed kernel's recovery is not working - and I don't know why. Sorry.
Must have to do with the Flashtool message that your bootloader cannot be unlocked. There is sth. really strange...

when i flashed ftf (flashmode), phone is not responding at all ( just one vibro when press on button) and screen stays black.
hello, my xperia sp has been soft-bricked! im trying to get it back to normal, but i can't!
i downloaded the stock firmware for my phone c5306( .205 ) and im trying to flash it via flashtool.
a hundred times i have got the system.sin error! drivers updated, tried with different pcs, different cables! no result, same error!
i also tried excluding system.sin from the right column, all other files are flashed normally! but when i try system.sin, error!
also, my phone shows green light after sometime after i plug it into the charger! when i remove it and hold power button for 2sec, the red led flashes and goes off, if i hold it it keeps flashing!
also it will only show sony logo after flash mode has been exited!
please help me! i have spent 3 days on it(day and night) but still no solution!:crying:
i just got this phone 1 week ago!
i have also attached the image of the error!
please help devs! i will be very greatful!
the reason i think is that when the system.sin is almost done, the phone is exiting flashmode? this might be the reason?
if yes please give solution!
( i checked by disconnecting phone while the flashing was halfway through, same error!)
Firstly, try flashing some different FTF files, as this is most likely the problem.
If that doesn't work and you are already on unlocked bootloader, you can try the following:
1. Flash everything in the .ftf file using the latest Flastool, except system (system.sin).
2. Open the .ftf file using 7zip and extract the system.sin.
3. Flash the system.sin using fastboot: fastboot flash system system.sin.
The above method has worked for others with similar problems. Again, only for unlocked bootloader.
If that fails you might also have corrupted or broken NAND memory. Hardware issue is surely a probability.
Other might have other suggestions...

somehow i flashed ftf! but now the phone reboots only after flash/fastboot mode, first it used to show only sony logo, but now it shows sony,xperia, xperia bootanimation, off!
if i flash system.sin through fastboot, where should i place the file?

In the folder where you extracted fastboot.
Fastboot is a program on it's own. I'm not talking about the fastboot mode in flashtool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Again, ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
If you haven't unlocked it, this methode won't work.
Try flashing a different FTF, as I mentioned after editing my post.

now whats happening is, when i press power button for 2 or more secs, the red led flashes! when i connect the phone to wall charger, red led stays on.
i took device into fastboot mode and rebooted into device via flashtool......
then the device booted normally and showed android id upgrading......... app 49 of 179 then off!
does this mean i should charge it? as far as i know, i have 70-80% battery.......
Leave phone in charging overnight and stay calm

Your battery is dead, but since android said it was upgrading apps, this means your problem is most likely fixed.
Let it charge for a few hours.

Glad you got everything sorted.
Unless an Xperia SP has hardware problems, i'm quite sure it cannot get fully bricked.
I have exactly the same problem
Could you give me the steps to fix this problem? I have exactly the same problem when i try to install android with flashtool. No matter the version:
"24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - INFO - Ending flash session
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - 31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
24/017/2014 23:17:58 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted"
And when i try to power up a red led is blinking. If i connect the charger the red led stays on. Also, its hard to enter flashmode (green led) and fast boot (blue led) doesn't seem to work in Flashtool (in order to select system.sin to Flash). Despite the blue led is on, Flashtool doesn't let me to reboot into fastboot mode.
You got yourself a driver problem. Reinstall the drivers
i have the same problem. any solution for locked bootlader?sir please help i always get system.sin error when i flashed the stock rom.

you cant be hard bricked on locked bootloader . it hapenned to me. solutions:
1. get another ftf files, sometimes ftf can get damaged.
2. install custom drivers.
3. try different pcs (My Solution )
4. charge the phone 1 day (24hrs)
5. unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel and flash a rom, then u can flash stock and relock bl
6. change ur cable.
if no one of this solutions fix ur problem u are so bad
hey, I had the same problem, system.sin not beeing flashed (everything else was)
the second of three error message (where the reason for the failure to install system.sin) was "ERROR - " so ... not very helpfull ^^
so after trying pretty much every solutions offered in this thread with no success I tried changing flashtool version going from 0.9.19.1 to 0.18.6 and ...
it worked, I was able to flash the full ftf file and start my phone again !!

Lol its not a known problem and please do not notify Androxyde about it. Version post 0.19.8.6 but prior to 0.19.9.1 uses a template file called fsc to accommodate new xperia devices. This breaks support for older xperia devices that doesn't have the fsc template. The template can be created of course, but it seemed no one from the xperia sp community want to contribute lol.
So the versions that will make ftf flashable again is 0.19.8.6 and 0.19.9.1+. You could have solve this by yourself if you read the note given on the website properly.

Few days ago my device got bricked, when I press the power button it gives me a red light (2 times) when I plug it in to a wall charger, light keeps constant... I've charged the device for 12 + hours and then tried to reflash stock roms 4.1 and 4.3 (CE/AU/GE) using latest flash tool. It gives me an error at the end of processing System.sin. I changed data cables, try different pcs but nothing did work. Then I tried to update the phone using PC Companion but it didn't worked. Then someone told me to flash the files without System.sin using flashtool and then extract System.sin using 7zip and flash it using Fastboot software. (command line software) when I try to flash from there it says FAILED : File size is too large. Please help me out. I'm really pissed off right now because there are no sony care centers in our country. Someone please help me out. I really appreciate your help. Thanks loads :crying:
PS : I can unlock/relock bootloader.

If you wish this will take some quite amount of time. And above all theoretically constructed. But I do wish it could help you. Now lets get dirty!
REQUIREMENTS:
DoomLord's Advanced Stock Kernel
An unlocked bootloader!
Flashtool
A .ftf of your desired firmware
I am assuming your device is now capable of turning on (battery juice present).
Overview
You will create a flashable zip of the stock ROM with Flashtool. Afterwards flash it through recovery
Procedures
Whilst having a stock ftf in hand, follow MrSteve's handy guide on how to create a stock ROM .zip (Post doesn't tell you how to extract an ftf! Its easy, rename the file extension to .zip and extract the contents (.sins (lol)) to an another folder. If otherwise your zip manager support ftf extraction, then proceed on your own method)
Flash DoomLord's kernel via fastboot in flashtool
Connect your phone in fastboot mode (hold down vol up while device is powered off then connect to your computer. you can release vol button once phone is detected)
Flash DoomLord's advanced kernel by selecting the Lightning icon in the toolbar, select Fastboot mode, then select "Select Kernel to Flash". Navigate to and choose your downloaded DoomLord's kernel
Unplug your phone upon completion.
Turn the phone on, while on LED light, press volume up key repeatedly until your phone gets into recovery.
Wipe your phone clean! Please wipe /system, /data, /cache and dalvik. You are encouraged to also factory reset through the recovery.
Flash your self-made stock zip.
Reboot and lots of prays
Thank you so much, I followed your instructions and managed to flash it... Then I got offline charging error. Then I relocked my bootloader and and flashed stock rom 4.3. It flashed... Now phone works but offline charging is not working. Any solution :crying:

Have you tried specifically flashed stock ROM through flashtool after successfully flashed the zip you created earlier? In fact this problem shouldn't happen. And from what I remember, this might have to do with Kernel.
Please flash again the stock ftf. If is still fails, please get me to know it. You can untick DATA APP etc under the WIPE section in Flashtool when you are selecting a firmware. This will preserve your data and everything.
Hey guys i think i accidentally flashed twrp onto the boot partiton instead of the recovery patition(fastboot flash boot twrp)*note anyone reading this please do not do this*. Now the phone is unable to boot at all and it almost does not work at all but when i connected it to my laptop running ubuntu it shows up in adb as "List of devices attached CB5A1PLJZU recovery" and view in file explorer as "aosp for mako" for some reason. Any ideas on how I can get my phone back up and running will be much appreciated, in the mean time I will go into a deep depression and reflect on my self and my actions.... someone please save me
Either flash the correct boot.img from whatever rom you're using via fastboot, or flash a stock FTF with Flashtool.

Also, you're asking for trouble using files for the mako. This device is the yuga.

I cant boot into fastboot any more so the Flash tool does not recognize the device at all. I am uploading the picture for the aosp for mako in file explorer. Most of these folders are empty.

Just to double check. You are using an Xperia Z, correct?
Anyway, power off the device (hold power and volume up for 15 seconds. It will vibrate 3 times and power down), then hold volume up while connecting the device to your PC. That should enter fastboot mode.

Help (
So I am a newbie in flashing a rom. I got bootloop multiple times. But Sony Companion's "repair my phone/tablet" helped me a lot in restoring my phone.
I'm asking you guys for help because Sony Companion can't help me anymore.
Reason why I got bootlooped:
So I flashed Stryflex Rom successfully.
>I was about to flash supersu to get root access
>I opened Flashtool
>I accidentally clicked the stock rom .207
>It Failed
>Tried to boot my phone, and there's only a green flicker, sony logo, then it shuts down.
>Tried to plug my phone to a pc, and there's only a Green Light for about a minute. and a red light with sony logo for 10 seconds and shuts down again. It repeats all over again and again til I unplug my phone
Tried Solution:
So I used Pc companion's "repair my phone/tablet" and it only says "theres a different sofware in the device" so it wont continue.
I need everyone's help badly. It's been days I'm not using any phone (

You need Flashtool mainly for flashing the stock ROM,
For flashing custom ROMs, kernels, mods and other zips, you need to use a Recovery like TWRP/Philz.
Since you used a 5.1 ROM, I assume you already unlocked your Bootloader.
Download this.
Make sure your installed Flashtool version is either 0.9.18.5 or 0.9.18.6 and you've installed the drivers.
Open Flashtool
Click 'Flash' button
Select 'fastboot mode'
Turn off phone (Use the yellow button on the back to force shutdown the phone if needed),
hold volume up button and connect usb
Select 'Reboot into fastboot'
'Select kernel to Flash'
Browse and select the desired kernel.elf
It will start flashing the kernel,
Close Flashtool after flashing is successful.
Now when you start the phone, you'll get access to TWRP by pressing the vol. down button on Tangerine splashscreen.
From TWRP,
Do a full wipe, then flash ROM, GApps, SuperSU etc that you need.

That error shouldn't have come. Either you didn't unlock your bootloader or somehow the unlocking process finished with an error.
Try flashing stock ROM again.
Then follow DooMLoRD's tutorial to unlock your Bootloader.
Then follow what I said in post #2.
I am certain that I unlocked my bootloader. I flashed strylfex which is a lollipop rom right? I don't know that to do anymore.

I see.
But since flashing kernel directly from Fastboot isn't working, the only thing you can do is flash Stock ROM again.
Need instructions on flashing stock?
Tried to flash stock rom and it worked! Great help sir Zenith. I learned a lot.

Am also facing this problems and I was flash the mobile with stock ROM but it was ended with an error of system sin .......what can I do.
Thankx in advance for who helps me......
I am also facing same problem...and when I try to put in fastboot mode it automatically restart and stuck in boot logo..
Please help me ...
Thanks in advance
Got the same problem with my Xperia SP.
I can connect it to Flashtool, either Flash mode or Fastboot. I can flash any kernel in Fastboot mode (didn't try FTF yet). I was on 8.1 AOSP when it happened, I guess some app made the phone reboot and emptied the battery (only guess as my wife was using it when it happened)
I tried to flash DoomKernel 13 and Tangerine 7 or the Oreo kernel again. I always got : quick display of the kernel logo, then screen off, then green light. After a while, it reboots, red light for a while then green light.
If I press Vol+, I go into fastboot with blue light.
I think the 8.1 kernel doesn't let the phone charge while off, and the two others won't work with this system and enter a bootloop ?
I'm looking for a way to restore my phone without erasing the whole thing. Any idea ? Otherwise, I'll put an FTF;;;

I've tried that, no luck.
I can flash the FTF, after that I can either boot in fastboot mode (blue led), or in flashmode (green). If I try to boot into system, best thing I get it the Sony logo for a short while and a reboot, leading into the "battery low" mode (red led). If I unplug it, I press either Vol+ of Vol- and I'm back into fastboot or flashmode.
Tried to write recovery or kernel, works but does nothing more. I let it charge forever, doesn't work.
I really don't know what is the problem here, it's almost unbrickable ! And I didn't even do anything, I think it just ran out of battery and can't charge anymore. Was running an Oreo ROM, stable for months.
