Hi, i've got a rooted xperia T, with unlocked bootloader and clockworkmod recovery installed.
The recovery was working great, but since a few days, i can't enter in recovery mode anymore... every time i try, either the phone starts normally (SONY screen, then XPERIA animation) or there is a white triangle for a few seconds, and then the phone starts normally...
I tried to reinstall it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918966
But when i want to flash the recovery.img, nothing happens, "waiting for device"...
How can i solve this?
Thanks !

what rom are you on?
If it is a stock based rom then flash doomkernel via fastboot
Extract the kernel.elf from the .zip, put it in fastboot folder and enter the code fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
Or just flash the kernel.elf via flashtool in fastboot mode if you are not familiar with cmd.
Then try to enter recovery again by pressing volume up.
Let us know what happens after that
Solved, thanks!
Hi guys,
My C6903 is bricked after an attempt to flash the Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.3.8 - Honami rom. The device was rooted and was on TrinityVengeanceRaptorX™ HD 1.3 rom with TWRP recovery installed.
I followed the install guide step by step, battery level was around 80%, and then after the rebooting process, nothing happened. It won't turn on, and it won't even charge. Then I tried to use flashtool to flash official rom, but the phone won't get into flashmode, when I press the volume - button and plug the usb, the red light flashed once followed by a green light flash, then nothing happens. I tried the PC Companion, it can't find the phone. The only thing is that when I press the volume + button and connect the usb cable, the blue light is on, not sure if it means anything. Anyone please help me.
Thanks
The blue light is flashmode You can flash an complete ftf file

Thanks for your reply. I just tried again with the blue light on, it won't work, the flash process won't continue, it still asks me to plug my phone.

I think Resurrection Remix® Lollipop has not built for c6903
Do not be sad your device is not hard bricked ( because of green light ) :fingers-crossed:
your pc or cable may has problem
isn't the blue light Fast boot mode

Oops you are right... But he can flash an kernel to boot up. When the device has an unlocked Bootloader. But I think also the cable is the problem.
could be the cable . yes i think you are right he could try fastboot flash any boot img witch contains a twrp recovery !! least gets him into a custom recovery .
Thanks for the help from everyone, I just tried two other cables,no luck. I guess we can eliminate the bad cable possibility. I'd like to try the flash boot img in fastboot mode option next, anyone knows where I can find the right boot img file?Also I didn't unlock my bootloader, does it matter...? Thanks again.

Check the drivers,update flashtool,disable antivirus programs if any then try flashing stock ftf with cable you know works try to connect other phone to computer with cables you have then try to flash ftf with the working cable. Also any lollipop rom needs unlocked bootloader
Please read 1 page of any rom carefully before flashing...:thumbup:
I am currently using the rom you tried to flash and it works perfectly but also i unlocked my bootloader before flashing if you decide to unlock bootloader then NEVER forget to BACKUP YOUR TA BEFORE UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER...!!!
Hello guys,
Today I am encountering a very weird issue. I was on CM12 nightly on my xperia z1 and I decided to check the official Sony firmware since I was curious. I downloaded the official update from Sony PC companion and flashed the files with flashboot. After the "android is upgrading" window with all the apps being updated the device suddenly reboots. I thought okay it might be normal but it is now stuck on that procedure. It attempts to boot goes through the logos and in the animation but restarts again.
I tried booting into recovery to wipe data cache etc. but turns out the device is unable to boot into recovery and instead it attempts to boot normally.
Afterwards I attempted going into fastboot and flashmode and the device just shows the charging screen. Not even the notification light reacts accordingly to the mode I am trying to boot into.
I also tried adb but it didn't find the device.
All help is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who has any idea on how to resolve this issue.
Use flashtool to reflash your system.

What's wrong with people these days? Did you even read what the OP posted? If you did (even if you just read the title) you were able to see that he is NOT able to boot into flash mode rendering flashtool useless in this case!

How come he can see boot logo but cant enter flashmode!? I think he did it the wrong way to enter flashmode.

flash mode and fastboot mode cant recognize the phone but still can boot in to sony logo?
it werd did you try it with another PC or USB cabble? and full charged z1 before try all method again, maybe problem is your phone out of battery.
try some some official repair as sony companion or Sony update service.
we cant do anything if both of flash mode and fastboot mode not work.
I recently got a z3c and decided to try to get a slim rom on it.
I have done the following:
I unlocked the bootloader.
This was done successfully to the best of my knowledge
The next thing I did was flash a cwm image to by z3c using fastboot. The problem was that I flashed the z3 version on my z3c.
The device would boot but the screen would be blank.
Later I flashed the z3c boot loader named : Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105
After this the device goes in a boot loop. I am able to access CWM.
I have tried to root the phone as well as flash the slim rom in an attempt to fix it....
Wiping disk / cache doesn't help.
Also for some reason even though adb drivers are installed I cannot use it so I can't get the twrp install to work.
I have no idea what to do can someone please help?
Thanks,
stp
I have same issue....Phone is ib bootloop...i can still go to fastboot mode....
Anything can be done here????
Flash an factory image with flashtool then you will have original recovery. Then reinstall CWM, maybe smth went wrong.
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....
I managed to recover my phone. I don't think you need usb debugging for flash tool. What I did was turn the phone off (power and volume up seem to be the buttons that force shutdown and break the reboot loop).
flashtool will prompt you to connect when you flash the ftf file and you hold power up and volume down when you connect the usb cable. If you have issues flashing (it hanged on me on system.bin) try restarting your computer.
Resolution and Problem Exp
Right after flashing the device recovery through fastboot the USB cable is plugged and that seems to loop the boot loader, so you need to force shutdown while looping by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP, and after that unplug the USB cable. You will notice that on boot now the light is no longer red.

Hi,
I just installed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/final-solution-rom-lbl-t3073678
Everything went fine. I did all the steps. After installing the ROM and the fixes I chose system reboot from CWM Recovery. Since then I can't turn my phone on. If I press the power button there is a short vibration, but nothing happens.
1. Tried to reset with the button on the back of the phone. No go.
2. Tried all the button combination but can't even get back to recovery.
3. If I connect it to my computer then the led goes green and windows gives me that sound when you connect something new, but after 10 seconds the led turns off and I get the other sound for dismounting device. No diver can see it, neither flashtool does.
4. It doesn't charge. Well, at least the led does not turn on so I guess it's not charging.
Any idea?
You have a kernel problem, Flash with Flashtool the kernel of your rom in fastboot mode (Volume +, and connect your usb cable) with flashtool or if that don't available, flash a stock kernel in fastboot mode (Volume + and connect your usb cable at your phone), when it's flashed, restart your phone

From where can I get a proper kernel? Does it matter that it has locked bootloader?
Also which flashtool should work?

Normally, you can flash the kernel included in your rom, it's a file name boot.img, flashtool is good i think, can you send error messages with flashtool if you have any messages

If you have locked bootloader you must flash the stock kernel trough the flashmode, williams kernel is custom it will brick your device

I double checked that it works for locked bootloaded. It's even the name of the thread: [Final Solution ROM][UBL/LBL][V2][ODEXED for extreme smoothness][William's Kernel]
So the issue now is that I can't even install the driver (windows 10) as the device is being disconnected after 10 seconds of plugging in. I got the tft file now for the stock kernel and installed flashtool but it can't detect the phone (in that 10 secs), it says that driver is missing. Tried the C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and selected the necessary drivers but it never succeeds. Attached the screenshot of the failure of installing the drivers.

So drivers are installed. Computer can detect phone. All I can't do is to boot my phone to fast boot. It's always in flash mode not fast boot. I'm trying to power on and pushing the volume down, but no go.

you must start with phone turned off, fastboot doesnt work because you have hardlocked bootloader
pick stock ftf of your choice let it load and when it prompts you connect turned off phone with volume- pressed
then root it with towelroot and install super su, open it and update su binary
when you will be done with that contact me or respond to this post i will help you with next steps

OK, to be honest I don't get any of that. What is towelroot, how to install super su and how to update its binary? Also what do you mean "let it load" (ftf)?
I have to mention that the bootloader is locked because it can't be unlocked.

Yeah i know that your bootloader is not unlockable, by ftf loading i mean that select .ftf you want to flash first and wait until it prepares and prompts you to connect the phone, btw last flashtool that works with sp is flashtool-0.9.18.6 , if you will have problem with understanding that try to search how to flash ftf on xperia sp on youtube i hope you will get it eventually
towelroot is an app from geohot you can get it here https://towelroot.com/ it can root your device
super su is an app on google play it is free and it controls root apps, in other words it grants or denies root access, once you will gain root with towelroot, open super su and it will prompt you to update binary just select normal and it will work

I have version 0.9.19.10. And I can't select the file before I connect the phone with fastboot. The file has to be selected after. This is the tutorial I try to follow:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXTzA7Qrrv4
So my problem is still that I can't get into fastboot to flash the kernel. So towelroot and super su are not my options until I can't get into the system.
Any other clue on how to get it flashed?

you cant use fastboot with your bootloader locked that is the point there is NO WAY of flashing custom kernel with bootloader locked or you will brick your device, only way to flash kernel on lbl is to flash stock kernel in your case WITH FLASHTOOL TROUGH FLASHMODE

I understand what you are saying. But flashtool doesn't let me flash kernel in flash mode.
So it's a catch 22? After all this means that it's already bricked, isn't it?

You are not trying to flash kernel only, but that is possible too, you are trying to flash whole stock firmware.
Yes your phone is bricked because you flashed custom kernel on LBL.
Download some .205 or .207 firmware from android development section of xperia sp xda forum and flash it with flashtool.
There are plenty of tutorials online, i dont mean to be rude but you just must try and understand it yourself.
Here you have link for firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
just flash the ftf and phone should be ok, if you will be succesfull i can help you with rooting and flashing something suitable for locked bootloader xperia sp

Wait a sec. It seems I could flash the kernel in flash mode.
It was keep disconnecting but finally the sony logo appeared and it booted to the system. It doesn't work properly, and it's very slow, but now I can get into CWM. Do you have any suggestion which ROM should I install on it?
