Hi guys, this is my first time trying to flash a smartphone and i had no luck. After i press the power button nothing happens, only a small vibration and a little green led blink. :crying:
I'm trying to flash the stock ROM through Flashtool but my Xperia SP keeps disconnecting and connecting after a minute in Flash mode, the green light turn OFF for a second then ON again every minute. But if connected in Fastboot mode the device keeps connected normal but I cant select the .FTF file. I have no idea what to do now.
I bought it last year second hand its my first smartphone im broke as **** i cant believe its not working anymore. My last phone was a Nokia 5310 that i used until decomposition, literally. Sorry for bad english.
Please help.
share the instructions that you followed.
Did you root your phone and unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery ?
it is possible that your drivers are not properly installed, try using windows 7
I have similar issue but phone is not bricked it's charging really really slowly. And I don't know issue of it? If someone can link some room that don't have this issue that would be g8.

Hi guys,
I have an old Xperia T which was in the middle of being flashed with a 4.3 based firmware but there was a problem with the install. I didn't care too much at the time because i already had a new phone, but now I'm trying to get it working again as a possible backup.
My problem with it now is that when i switch it on, it will display the Sony logo and then the screen goes black, apparently freezing. I have tried to charge it overnight but the light always stays red, never goes green. When i try to connect via my laptop (Windows 8.1) i can't get the laptop to read the phone, the USB will bring up the red light on the phone and the phone will even boot to the Sony logo but then....well, nothing. I have also tried booting into recovery but again nothing.
I'm not expecting a wonder fix, i think the phone is maybe bricked but at the same time i haven't the most knowledge on these matters. I have Googled various sites that have similar problems with different models and each one seems to be fixed with the Sony PC Companion - but like i said, my laptop doesn't even recognise there's a device plugged in.
If anyone has any suggestions it'd be appreciated, but like i said, i don't expect to find a cure, just hoping i can say i haven't bricked a phone like a n00b
Thanks for your time
Dude ... relax.
If the phone still shows the SONY logo, nothing is lost.
Step 1: Download Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Step 2: Download an appropriate Firmware in the FTF format from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Step 3: Ensure the driver for the phone is installed and works correctly.
Step 5: In Flashtool, select the lightning "Flash device", then Flashmode. Select your folder where you store the Firmware.
Step 6: Click the flash button and turn off your phone. If you connect it via USB to your PC, press immediately POWER + VOLUME DOWN. The notification LED turns green and the flash process begins.

Hey guys,
I have had my Z1 for quite some time now and rooted it in the past. Everything was okay. But now, i would like to return it to stock and figure out if I could try using CM11 or Dirty Unicorns ROMs.
I have the right Flashtool and my Z1 is charged up to 89%. But every time I want to connect (phone off, holding down Vol- when connecting USB from PC to phone) The LED turnes red followed by a swift green ish colour. And then nothing. My PC recognizes the phone, installs drivers but then nothing happens. Flashtool doesn't seem to find the phone. Further more, when i leave it like that, evenually the phone restarts.
The blue-"Downloadmode"(?) works though. (Vol+ when connecting)
I'm running a rooted C6903 4.4.4 14.4.A.0.108
Can anyone give me some tips? Or can anyone help me? I've been at this for hours and its really annoying. :silly:
PS.
I'm not new at this. But i think most of you will see me as a NOOb. So please be as explainatory as possible:fingers-crossed:
Install drivers bro for flash and fast boot they are available in flashtool's directory also provide flashtool logs to help us identify the culprit...

Well, I guess you've made it cool, indeed...
Locked or unlocked bootloader?

i don't realy know, i think locked because i just do what i written.
got an broken D5803 and hoping to fix it with your help.
(i have no clue what happend to the phone so far)
if i power it on, the notification led is red the sony and xperia sign shows on the screen, but after a short time it restarts.
i can turn it into flahsmode and fastboot mode also.
if i turn it into flash mode and try to flash a firmware with flashtool it goes through the process. but when it restarts, nothing have changed. even the version number havent changed in emma or in flashtool.
any bets what it could be?
i am almost shure its an hardware defect. most propably the main board. but i ask myself what exactly could be broken?!
thanks in advanced for any help.
and sorry for my bad english
oh, and i do tried to search for the same problem and had no success to find the same problem.
EDIT: something new happend. i tried the repair function in the pc companion. flashed again. after restart the battery symbol showed up. battery level low and red. but when i connect it to my charger. the "bootloop" restarts...
I had a similar problem.
My phone went to the bootlogo (blue waves) and started to buzz for five till ten seconds and went to a restart (bootloop).
I am not sure, why that happened, but I think, it was because of a russian firmware (downgrade to Android 4.4.4 for flashing a custom recovery and root).
At first, try to fully recharge your battery (recommended for a firmware flash).
If your phone restarts into bootloop after you connect your charger cable, try to hold the power button until you feel a three-times-vibration. Now your phone should be absolutely powered off.
Download following firmware to your computer: "D5803_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_GLOBAL_1286-9917" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56138053&postcount=27 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58418863&postcount=358)
If your phone is fully recharged, open flashtool and load that firmware into the flashtool.
The system will now ask you to connect your phone in flash mode with your pc.
Now connect your phone with your pc in flash mode.
I am not sure, but flashtool is asking you a question after the flash mode is recognized. I answered with No.
The flashtool should now install the Android 4.4.4 firmware to your phone.
I hope the steps above may help you.
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.
