Hello, everyone. I have searched basically every thread and looked up a lot up posts and couldn't solve the problem which is why I am creating a new thread. Apologies for the same.
So here's the problem on my Xperia Z C6602.
I am stuck on the lockscreen. Can't remember the pattern. Can't login through Google cos the Wifi and Data Connection is off. I tried the service menu code but it doesn't work, I'm updated to the latest version of Android. I can't update/repair phone through Sony Companion cos it says there is no software available. I used the flashtool but it says "Device cannot be officialy unlocked". I went through ADB and the phone connection is perfectly fine (got a 0.5s response) but I cannot unlock the bootloader as I get a FAILED message. I used the flashtool provided by Sony but my phone is recognized as locked and I can't do anything there either. I'm running out of options
Some help would be really appreciated. Thank you, kind people.

You can have a factory reset by pressing few times volume up/down (can't remember up or down) button to enter recovery when the phone is booting with SONY logo
Hi, I am trying to get into stock recovery to factory reset my partners xperia z3 compact. She set a pin but must have hit an incorrect digit and now we cant unlock. I thought having a gmail account linked allowed us to reset via gmail but it does not appear to work. I have seen tutorials to get into recovery but none seem to work. What are my options?
Thanks
Ady
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is using Sony's PC software: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz3compact/tools/pc-companion/
I would love it if someone found another way to do it though, like using flashtool or something.
Actually i found there is and it elimated so much headache. So long as you have gps enabled you can use the Android device manager throgh your pc to wipe the phone remotely. Hey presto all done. Sony pc companion would have worked but as the phone is locked its not detected by the software!? Go figure.
Hi
I am running stock 14.5.A.0.270, rooted and bootloader unlocked. Sony Xperia Z1
My camera app opens up, the camera button on the side of the phone even works. You push the capture area and front camera freezes and normal camera just shows me two buttons and won't do anything.
Please help I do not know what to do. There were a few other threads with a similar problem but I haven't found the resolution yet. Is it because bootloader is unlocked, I have read that I should restore the ta partition and relock my bootloader but I thought I will try here first.
I thought it would be fun rooting and flashing phones but so far just a big timewasting headache. I was on CM12.1 before , nightlies they were good but then it wouldn't recognise my sim card.
RR I tried but I got stuck on the bootloop.
Now I am back on a stock and my camera doesn't work
Help me please, I want to learn more
Many thanks for your time

Sorry I'm a bit late it seems but i had the exact same problem, camera wont focus and take pictures, video did still work depending on firmware but unfocused. Chances are your asking here because you lost your TA partition and DRM keys, which is most likely the cause
Solution:
make sure your phones bootloader is UNLOCKED
1. Grab flashtool
2. open Xperifirm via flashtool
3. look for 14.3.A.0.757 firmware (for journalists and media) (MUST be downloaded via xperifirm)
3. Download and unpack automatically, let flashtool do its thing til its ready
4. Relock your bootloader, DO NOT start your phone or touch your phone, keep it in flashmode
5. flash the firmware you just downloaded (14.3.A.0.757)
6. start your phone, camera SHOULD be working
7. Unlock bootloader and Flash any .ftf you like, tick EXCLUDE in the box that says .TA when you flash / if its available
8. Enjoy
Hey,
So i used the SRK tool to try and root my VIE-L09C40 (P9 Plus)
Something seemed to happended during the rooting procedure and when i entered e-recovery it said it had to Download a new version, but couldnt connect to internet via wifi.
Any ways it seemed to work after a while but now i have no keyboard at all, so i cant literally start my phone.
it starts, boots the EMUI 5.0 logo and goes through the information a terms, i click the ok button and thats fine.
Next it tells me to sign in to my wifi, i select my wifi and when i go to type the password all i have is google voice as a keyboard, ive searched and searched but cannot find a way around it, also the frp has tripped on phone so i cannot log in to my google account without a keyboard.
How can i get around this?
do i have to flash parts of firmware?
any help would be great, i sent it away to hauwei and they say warranty void due to software!, can only assume something wrong was flashed?
Waiting for phone to be returned now, please help
I had the exact same issue last night as well. No keyboard and only an option to enter details with voice.
Ended up with an essentially bricked phone. Couldn't find any info on the problem online, so I have to improvise.
I'm starting from scratch after formatting etc. using stock oeminfo, recovery and rolling back to Marshmallow. (fingers crossed ADB will let me, because it was giving me errors before)
Will let you know if I'm successful and the steps I took.

Good luck, i did read that it might be possible to install the base firmware back to it and then update again.
Im sure we are not the only people this has happened to and if you succesfully do this, maybe consider making a full step by step guide so to help others.
Fingers crossed
:good:
Will do my best.. So far it's been a major. I've managed to flash a working stock ROM and boot up. But there are a few things to smooth out. Such as, I have no IMEI number now and the build is C900, also the bootloader is modified.
To get it to boot I had to use DC- Phoenix to flash a factory firmware(Chinese) which I had to pay for. Then I flashed a stock vie-l09c432b181 ROM over the top.
To repair the IMEI I'll have to use HCU, which I'll have to pay for as well. But that's ok. If I can get my original IMEI back, I can use the original unlock code I got earlier this year, otherwise I'll have to get a new one based on a new IMEI.
I can repair the bootloader and region code using twrp etc. so that's not a problem.
I'm actually using the phone to write his reply, so I can at least use it.
Once I have it all 100% working I'll try to put together a full step by step.
Cheers.
Well, I have a working phone. But, it'snot stable. Having trouble with mobile connection, sms, mms, 4g etc not staying connected. So wont be doing any write-ups just yet.
Not until it's stable.
I'm wanting to return it to complete stock now. And that requires trying to find an oeminfo file for C706 (New Zealand).
Will add more as I get there. Sorry.
I had the same problems. All I did is updated the phone with the firmware you want via Twrp . Be warned that it will replace the recovery back to stock. Also clear the cache and etc.
I had a similar issue with SRK tool, bootlooping, won't flash new firmwares, lost all the stock apps and diagnostic tools.
I'm now stuck on a TEST-KEYS build with no NFC or Bluetooth.
My solution was to throw the piece of junk in a drawer, forget about it and I went and bought a Pixel XL instead - a phone that is properly supported and gets updates quickly.
After much messing and a headache I finally got to c432b370
And everything back to normal

How did you succeed?
I am stuck on TEST-KEYS but I am not able to flash other roms on it. When I go to recovery, the update process stops after a while

So I messed up with trying to get my phone to global rom without unlocking the bootloader.
A little backstory: I have an 1062 which had an android 8.1, I didn't have my bootloader unlocked.
So I've tried to make my phone Global by using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-convert-nokia-7-china-variant-to-t3769541 . I think it was done successfully and my phone instatly asked me to update to the newer android, so I did it. It was a 1.4 gb update and after it was done I was welcomed by a default android settings screen which asked me to log in to my google account. So I tried and found out that my touch doesn't work at all. I can see the animation that says Welcome and I my phone reacts to Volume up\down and power buttons, but no reaction to my fingers whatsoever. I've tried wiping in the recovery mode, it didn't help.
I can't even find out my imei or get my Rom version.
Is there anything that can help? I'm obviously willing to get my bootloader unlocked if I can get my Imei and rom vers.
