Xperia SP issues

Hi everyone !
I've some problems on my Xperia SP. I bought this phone 1 month ago, it's unrooted, the build number is 12.0.A.1.257. So:
1. The homescreen restarts frequently and randomly, the Viber, and most of my apps too. I've got about 300-350MB of free RAM every time I check it.
2. If I'm listening music via Walkman app, it stops randomly, and if I restart the app, it starts from where I started before. I think it's similar to the first one, and the RAM management causes this issue too.
3. WiFi problems ...
Please help me, if you have any idea ! I'd like to fix these issues, because it was a quite expensive phone for me ... Thank you !
Well, the latest FIRMWARE is the 12.0.A.2.245... I recommend ya connect ur phone to PC Companion to install the update or maybe flash it with Flashtool :highfive:
EDIT: 1. I dont have HomeScreen Restarts
2. Walkman go perfect here
3. Wifi is stable too

Thanks for the reply, but my phone is unfortunately not factory unlocked, so my SP says this is the lastest firmware available. :/ I gonna try the update via PC, I hope it will work.

Flash the newest firmware (245) via Flashtool. Its very easy to use and u don`t need to unlock ur bootloader or something else.
Btw. I did to, cause the update to 245 fw wasnt available and I didnt want to wait.

[Q] Bootloop on C5302 - No ROOT, 4.3

Hello guys.
Almost 2 weeks ago I had a really strange issue with my SP. I force stopped a Sony Select app, and then my device got in bootloop - over and over again, never stopping. I got home and repaired it successfully with PC Companion.
Now, it happened again... But it wasn't Sony Select Force Stopping now. I changed my theme - to a downloaded one; the wallpaper wasn't showing. Redownload the same theme - the same issue. Then I also got no wallpaper on the other themes... I thought of restarting the device. Then, SURPRISE! Bootloop.
Now I am repairing my phone again using PC Companion.
If anybody knows what causes this issue, please let me know, I never ever rooted this device, only upgraded via PC Companion, not other sources.
Thank you.

Even if I updated with PC Companion, the firmware might be corrupted? So I'll. need.to flash another one from a different region?

Problems to update

Hi, so my problem is that when I was with my rooted phone and tried to update to .201 firmware with pc companion, I couldn't because it was saying failure with the update motor and then my phone suddenly turns off. Later I discovered that I should relock my bootloader first but then when I relock him using flashtool my phone gets stuck in Sony logo.
If I try to root after updating I get a message saying "Device must be root first" when I'm unlocking bootloader to unlock root right after.I'm ****ing annoyed, I'm the whole day trying to make this work and I don't know what to do anymore, so please help!
(I'm a noob so please easy guide, and sorry about bad english)

If you have unlocked bootloader first and flashed a custom kernel and Relocked afterwards, you could get a bootlloop. You may want to repair with SEUS. I've heard ppl saying xsp isn't in its list, but I use the Dutch one, which has the xsp listed

How did you fix it! I'm experiencing the same problem as you!
I don't really remember, but I guess I reinstalled an old firmware then updated to the latest version (without root) and then I rooted, btw this video down here helped me a lot (it's the best I found, and I've searched for many videos).Tell me if I solved your problem, if not I'll keep trying to help u because I know how annoying it is.

It's probably hw problem. If you still have warranty take it to the repair center.
What if you flash the last rom where it did work.

[Q] Xperia Z soft bricked ... I gues :/

Okay Community, I think you need more infos.
The Xperia Z is not my first phone, I flashed rooted and modded my Xperia Arc S before, so I know what I do im not a total noob but not a pro, so please use full words no shorts, that will help me to prevent more questions ^^
Okay lets go ....
INFOS: My Phone is 100% Stock and untouched, direkt out of the store. No Root no Bootloader unlock no branding.
Please foregive my bad english, I give my best sry for that I hope you can read it
I just tryed to install the new Kitkat 4.4.4 Via OTA direct from my phone, it fails, but starts normaly. So I had the idea to try the pc companion. It starts to flash up to a exact point. I got an Error could not flash and I should unplug my phone an retry, so I did. But PC Companion don't find my phone anymore.
I downlaoded flashtool 0.9.14.0 64x version
I downlaoded the 4.4.4 stock rom tft the flashmode works fine it began flashing. but exactly like companion it stops by flashing system.sin. I restarted my pc tryed again but same story.
So I thought it could be the firmware and downloaded 4.4.2 but the same with this.
I flashed 3-4 firmwares before this failure, I bought the xperia z with 4.1 jelly bean, it worked fine jet. But now I can't flash ANY firmware but every time it freezes by flashing system.sin, so I don't know whats the problem, flash mode is fine and the previous files before flashes fine too im extrem confused.
thank you guys for trying to help me :good: :highfive:

Hi
there is something wrong with the OTP even for me it reboots after 5%.
don't worry just download latest flash tool and and Generic FTF of your choice and then flash it the you want(with or without data)
for me it worked.
Make sure to install drivers from the ones that come with flashtool as well.
Just try to flash ur old firmware and see it works or not
Always have a multiple flashtools installed

Okay I don't know why but I just tried it a third time and reinstalled flashtool, then it goes. Now my phone works fine and got the brand new 4.4.4 kitkat
so thanks to you guys, you're amazing, I love this forum :highfive:
