Hi guys,
First of all be sure that I spent the whole last 3 days reading stuff and being learning all about flashing. I finally have to ask you about real help because now I am lost and my wife will ask divorce if I continue flashing her phone all nights long..
So here is the topic:
Her Xperia Z c6602 is in a bad bootloop. I first thought it was the battery but it appears that not because I can flash over and over without the phone being disconnected from windows.
All I own to fix it is an old netbook runing XP.
I have installed flashtool 0.9.18 (cannot install earlier version because not compatible with xp).
I have managed after hours to unlock the boot loader via flashtool.
I have dl 3 different roms.ftf.
Sooo, the phone connect in fastboot mode with no problem and also in flashboot.
I can indeed flash the roms like I've been reading on so many threads about this already (with wipe data and so on)
The flashes go right, but when prompt to disconnect and start the device, not a change.
I have also tried repair from pc companion. The repair also goes well but no changes.
Sometimes after pressing buttons, unplugging charger and with a little bit of luck I have the phone charging and I also can see the charging page on the phone! But that's it.. after same again, booting again and again and this makes me go crazy!
What can I do please? I know it's an old phone but cannot afford new one these days
Will there be anyone familiar with this issue?
A million thanks
Please stop spamming your question all over XDA
In future, take some time to find the correct device forum and post your question there... To do otherwise is just insulting to the staff here.
I've moved your thread and deleted all of your duplicates.
Alright if you can boot into fastboot and your bootloader is unlocked,try to flash this kernel
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/kernel-ub-t3198491
Can be flashed with flashtool too.All instructions in that thread.
After successully flashing this kernel.
I assume you know TWRP.Boot into TWRP recovery.
Connect your phone to PC.Copy the rom.zip file in storage and then flash it.
If you dont know,tell.Il try to help.

This CRAP haha had this happend to me it is a fully bricked phone u could fix it up by opening the phone and connecting some testpoints when flashing (tutorial on miui forum).
I sent it to repair as this same thing happend to me basically the "memory block" got bricked.
You know its just not make sense, i used it normally, not even yet try to root or flashing something, its fully stock, upgrading once..i used it about 2months normal use, but suddenly facing this, come on ..
Well this is what happend when I upgraded my version of MIUI through fastboot. Not sure how u got this but that is what it means as I had this too.
Latest update i always done was an ota stable one and am sure that was recovery way
Hi there,
I'm still very new to this so I'm gonna try to describe this the best way that I can.
Basically I have a Xperia SP C5303 and I was getting frustrated of it being slow and keyboard failing to pop up - these are just a few of the issues I had with this phone. I had previously downloaded the 4.3 update for the phone. So basically I thought "let me try to update it to 4.4". So I google the update and put in on the SD card on the phone. So I enter recovery, and follow the instructions (wipe all user data) and then I go to install the "cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip" It then came up with an error saying it could not be installed. So i'm panicking here and did the mistake of restarting the phone. Now the phone is stuck on the Sony logo and I cannot get it into recovery no matter pressing the up and down volume button.
Can anyone please help me? I do not have a phone now and as a man I am not afraid to say it made me shed a tear or two a bit.... But anyways, if you can please help. Thank you you wonderful people.
Hello you managed to solve? or you still need help?

Hello my friend, I assume you´re on locked bootloader, right?
If it is so, you flashed the wrong Rom. Anyway, don´t panic - not a big problem.
When you have restarted your phone, you started it without any system. No wonder, that doesn´t work
Ok. let´s go:
First, you have to flash a new stock Rom. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Second step - root it and install a recovery. Got to the thread of our Guru Doomlor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
read the steps carefully, so you can´t make any mistake!
Step three - on locked bootloader you can only flash a Rom for LBL!!!
If you want a CM11 Rom I recommend bagyusz´CM11 Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
If you will follow all the steps you will have back an excellent CM11 Rom with much, much fun.
Goodl luck, reinipic.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, what do you mean with "tried all the steps"???
Did you flash a stock .ftf Rom with Flashtool?
It is nearly impossible to brick the XP.
Please give me more details, what you´ve done.

I've downloaded the .ftf file onto my laptop, but getting my phone to open the file is an issue because when i connect the SP onto the laptop, it switches on the phone but has been stuck on Sony logo for the past couple of hours. The Recovery_SP.zip and DooMLoRD are both not picking up the phone as plugged in on USB drivers.

ok. listen: give away the back cover of your phone - there ist down the RESET BUTTON! Press him for a few seconds, until the phone vibrates three times! Then ist is switched off.
Now you can start flashing

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.
It's not my first time to flashing roms. But this time i think phone dead. Here is the story: I installed cm12 and wipe system flash cm 14 adn finally today i flashed cm13 and i loved it. But when i opened file explorer i see internal storage is 2gb(before flashing it is 10gb). When i opened TWRP 3.0.2 i see another legacy sd partition. I think if i will format this partition i can get 10gb internal storage back. And i formatted legacy sd using twrp. But when i push reboot system now phone turned off and never go back. no any red or green light. I'm sure phone have min 50% charge and battery new(not battery problem). I tried remove battery but it is not work. When connect it to pc see this on bottom right corner ''QHSUSB_DLOAD'' and no driver found and no any light on phone. What can i do now? Flash tool and Emma dont recognize device.

Hi! i have de same problem right know... i format de lagacy sd and now is bricked like your phone.
Did you solve IT?
Hi. Generally when the phone doesn't respond, you had to consider it hard bricked, and there's no solution that you can apply without putting the hands on the Hardware. My advice is to try let it charging for 24+ hours and see if something happens. For example if the led turns on, probably you are in soft brick and you can bring it back to life. There's a tread here in XDA explaining the importance of charging cycles for the late 2012 Sony devices.
In my case I couldn't flash nothing on xperia T until I haven't let it charging for 25 hours straight. Then I was able to bring it back to life.
Hope you can do the same. In any case, good luck.
I might be reckoning wrong, but I believe I've recovered my T several times using stock firmware in such case.. Then go again with CM or whatever.

after+ 12hr of charging i see blinked red every 2 mint .... what can ido for this ??plz help sorry for bad english
Sorry for the late reply. Its a good sign, so now you know your phone its not hard bricked. There's hope!!! Let it charge for other 12+ hours and you should see the blinking red led becoming continuous. Then you could try flashing a kernel and a custom recovery, if it works you can try flashing a ROM. Alternatively you can try to flash a stock ROM via flashtool.
Anyway now you know the phone it's alive, keep trying and you will able to bring it back to life.
Many thanks for you pro.... but usb not recognized or appear like "Qualcomm driver ..any advice ....any way I could leave it in charger and try again....Thanks for ur reply...
Maybe you can try, if you didn't already, to install the latest Sony flashtool, browse the installation folder, search for drivers and use the installation tool to reinstall the blue board 3 drivers (if you are using win 10 you may need to disable the driver signature to install the drivers properly).
I got the same problem with my Xpetia T, here I will report the steps I followed:
1. The phone didn't respond to any command, even to hard reset (pressing power button and volume + for 10s until you don't feel 3 vibrations, not recommended to do that, but I was a little frustrated).
2. I let it charging for a bit then I tried to flash a stock ftf file ( Installing the drivers just how I explained at the beginning) via flashtool. I managed to put the phone in flash mode but the procedure failed when the program started to flash the system file.
3. So I let it charge for 25h: in the first 5h no led showed up, then blinking red led, then continuous red led and finally continuous green led.
4. After that I retried to flash a stock ROM via flash tool but the procedure failed again when it was flashing the file system.
5. So I made a desperate try: I flashed all partitions but system via flash tool, then I extracted the system partition opening the ftf file with a zip manager and I used the fastboot functionality in flashtool to flash the system partition.
6. After I did that, I didn't see any improvement and I decided to put the phone in charge again and..... The kernel battery charging symbol appeared!!!
7. I let the phone charge over night then I booted it up! He booted in provisory mode and I managed to turn on USB debug and I gave permissions to my PC.
8. Then I installed TWRP via adb and so Linage 14.1 custom ROM.
The only problem I found it's my battery is practically dead, so I will try to replace it by my self in near future (this phone as known battery issues)
This is the method I followed, I don't know if is equally good for your case but I Hope this steps somehow help you.
