Hi all
I unlocked the bootloader, then rooted the phone then flashed a custom ROM. All went well, then for some reason the phone switched off and for a few hours it would not turn on at all. I left it on charge and eventually I could turn it back on.
However since then I have not be able to boot into fastboot made at all. When i first turn the phone on I am clicking the up volume to get into fastboot, but I never get the sony logo, instead it goes straight to the boot image from the rom (the colourful X), and it does not progress any further, I think the ROM was KA revolution.
Anyone have any ideas? I am completely stuck
and I have followed the steps here using the Update service tool from SONY http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2216974
the phone detects fine but it tells me I have custom software and it can't be updated.
fixed now... its all good
Sorry for the bump but do you mind telling me how you got it working?
So yesterday while on a phone call, My phone just decided to turn itself off and never turn back on.
I can't get into the Recovery, and it's kind of stuck in a bootloop.
When i turn my phone on, it shows Doomkernal's logo, the led lights up purple, vibrates and it just repeats.
Please help!
Just flash stock ROM using flashtool or Sony Update Service.. :good:

maybe it's a kernel related problem, so, instead of flashing a WHOLE ROM, FIRST tr to flash just a kernel via flashtools or fastboot
it can solve the problem
IF the problem still exists, then try to flash a stock kernel or repair via PC Companion or Update Service
Hello, my xperia Z C6603 screen isn’t turns on. The device isn’t rooted.
I disassemmbled the phone and I put the parts in a new frame. After reassembly, the phone worked fine with the new frame and screen and I used it about one week. Then I thought I flash a new lollipop firmware instead the kitkat because the lollipop wasn’t updateable yet in my firmware customization. So I flashed the newest lollipop 5.0.2. ( 10.6.A.0.454_1270-7298_R1E Central Europe1) stock firmware with the 0.9.18.6 flashtool and the things go badly.
The first boot was succesful but after the boot the screen went colorful and I saw nothing besides but if I pushed the volume up or down button I heard the volume sound. I turned of the phone by power on/off and volume up button and I tried to flash other firmwares. The flash methode is always succesful but the phone didn’t work. (I tried the 3 different android versions stock firmwares jb kitkat lollipop.) I used flashtool, emma and pc companion too with locked and unlocked bootloader.
I think the screen is work fine because sometimes after flash a firmware and I turn off the phone first the Sony boot logo is appear but after that nothing happen.
Is there anything else I can do, or is it hard-bricked?
Sorry for my bad English.
I heard you already unlocked your bootloader. How if you install any recovery and try boot onto it. If it success, try install any custom rom via recovery. Let me know the result.
I feel like this is going to be a long thread but I'll make it short as much as possible with as much details
I have a SONY Xperia SP C5303 stuck in a boot loop, it was given to me by a friend.
The phone was on stock firmware, android 4.3, unrooted, bootloader locked.
As he was using the phone while charging, he activated WiFi, after a while he activated Bluetooth (WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time) and then it just turned off, rebooted and stuck in the "SONY logo => Xperia logo=> Orange logo" boot loop and then it just fades away and blacks out and reboots.
After many attempts, he wasn't able to fix it and he gave it to me .
Now the first thing I did was flashing it using FlashTool with the firmware "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" but still stuck on boot loop, the only thing that happened is that the Orange logo changed into the colorful waves animation.
I flashed it a couple of times more, the same method, but still, the same results.
Next thing I did, I updated it using SONY PC Companion, after the update finished, it was still in boot loop (ALTHOUGH, the lock screen DID appear but I was not able to do anything, and the screen faded away again)
So, I sent it to a repairer, here's what he have done :
_ He did something (?) and gave it back to me with 0 charge, so I charged it at home and when I turned it on, still boot loop, so I returned it to him.
_ This time, it ACTUALLY worked ! The phone came back to life, everything was working just fine, until I activated WiFi and I noticed that it's not working, then I activated Bluetooth as well (AT THE SAME TIME, remember what I said at first ?) then the screen just faded away and back to boot loop, I sent it back to the repairer and told him that he hasn't changed anything and that the real issue is that WiFi and Bluetooth do not work/cause boot loop when working at the same time
_ He revived the phone once again but the WiFi/Bluetooth issue was not fixed and he told me that there's nothing he can do anymore, and he refunded me.
I can't complain though cause all I wanted was the phone working !! I didn't care less about WiFi nor Bluetooth.
This morning, as I wanted to root the device, I tried the DoomLord Easy Rooting Toolkit, after flashing the first kernel using FlashTool (Yes, I followed the steps VERY carefully) and after the flash of the kernel finished, the phone is once again in boot loop, this time boot looping on the SONY logo only
So the conclusion is that the phone can actually be revived. How ? That's what I'd kill to know !! (Jk)
I tried flashing again the "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" (4.3) but nothing, then I tried the previous firmware (4.1) but still nothing.
Sometimes, after the flashing, when the phone boots for the first time, the lock screen appears but fades away again (unable to touch anything)
SO PLEAAAAAAASE !! If there's anything I can do, please tell me, all I want is for the phone to work, hell to the data or anything else, also don't mind the warranty at all. And I'm not from the US, so there are no SONY service points here
There's a video in the rar file attached down there, it shows how the boot loop happens.

I assume you've got no recovery installed? flash the william's kernel elf in flashtool. This will give you a kernel which has recovery so what you have to do is download and flash Omni-X, Nexus Prime's omni (my personal favorite) or Paranoid Android. These are all LBL Roms so you don't have to worry about anything at all. Also flash the Super Su binary. I'll provide the links to all these if you want.
Indeed, no recovery installed and PLEASE DO GIVE ME THE LINKS !! I'll try again and again until it's fixed, although I highly doubt that it will.
If all fails, I will just send it to the repairer once again to bring it back to life once again

I know he can't flash the kernel since he's on a locked bootloader. But if he flashes the rom as soon as booting into the recovery, then he will be using the stock .207 kernel and the Rom will boot

maybe the phone will get bricked and not boot ...idk
Hi guys my Xperia Z doesn't start anymore, it's stuck in a bootloop. Before this happend it suddenly turned of, even with full battery. But I was able to boot it, it just turned of when I started an app. But now it's completely ****ed. Is it the battery? When I get a new battery do you reckon it will be ok again? I have a lot of pics on it and no backup -.-
It also doesn't work when it's plugged in, and power + vol up button doesn't make a difference. It only comes to the Sony Xperia boot logo, turns off and tries to start again, I can't even turn it completely off...
Any recommendations?
Ah yeah and it's all original with the newest software on it.
I had that same problem, and tried to reflash my stock rom using flashtool. The flash went fine, but it didn't solve anything, my phone was still rebooting again and again. Tried to reflash again then the flash failed, I don't know why...
Had the same issue but entering flash mode and flashing the rom with flashtool worked
