WILLING TO DONATE for someone who can get this phone work!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just recieved an xperia ZL, i bought on the internet. The seller sold it as it is not working, it cant connect to any network, or its just not recognizing the sim, and the back cam is not working. The cam can start but when I take a pic with it and it tries to save it then I get an Error message without any error codes. I think the phone should be flashed, and I need help with it. Will it make the cam work? And can it help on the other problem with the sim card? I took some pics about the details of my phone, I dont understand anything from it but it can help for some of you
who is an expert, the only problem is that I cant link it in my post because I am new on this forum...
UPDATE
FLASHTOOL installed - YES
Flashtool recognize the phone when it is started - YES
When flashtool asks me to connect the phone in flashmode and it shows me the instructions I cant get it in flashmode.... The instructions dont disappear when I hold the volume down key and connect it to the usb, just red yellow green led flash for <1 second, and nothing happens... then I must restart the phone with the small button on the back of it.
So the thing is stuck here!!! I think my phone is not able to get in flashmode! Is there another method to flash it without using flashmode on phone???? And I think it can start in fastboot mode because if I hold the volume UP key and connect it to usb then the blue led is ON...
One more thing that I was searching for and gugled it and cant find answer
ROOTING STATUS: unknown If I'm right there should be a text like Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes or No... not unknown.
SOME SPECS:
Phone Software Version: 1266-7597_10.1.A.0.287 GENERIC - userdebug
File System Version: Global-LTE_10.1.A.0.278

Thx, but the links for the flashtool for windows are dead.
I've downloaded the C6503_10.1.A.1.350_Generic DE.ftf and flashtool 0.9.11 from the Androxyde website. Is that flash tool good for this ZL or is there a special just for the ZL phone? And do you think the flashing will solve my problems?
In my phone it says:

Installed the latest flashtool, drivers too, but when I try to flash the phone I have to turn it off and then disconnect the micro usb, I'm holding the volume down key and connect back the usb, then I see a green led on the phone and after that a red one and nothing happens. What is the problem now?
And I would like to ask someone a favor who has ZL too, to look at the SIM card slot and see how much pins are there, in my there is 3 and it seems like the fourth on the left side is missing?!?

There must be something u r doing wrong.
For the Z/ZL u need this version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
Find it here also: http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1371023098000
PC: Flashtool and Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed, Sony PC Companion installed.
XPERIA : Enable USB Debugging, Enable Install from Unknown Sources
Then, turn your phone off.
Start Flashtool, click on the thunder icon, select the file u want to flash, ok, wait for it to load, once the program asks for the phone connect the USB cable, then volume down, keep pressing it while u connect the phone to the usb...should work.

Thak you for your reply... Iam ready to donate for someone who can get this phone work for me!!!!!
I've tried exactly as you said. Everything is installed and the flashtool is that version and it recognize my phone, and when i start the flash and the flashtool shows me the instructions to connect my phone in flashmode, there is the point where I'm stuck. I've noticed that I simply cant get the phone in flashmode. I'm holding the volume down key while I connect the usb in it, then the red yellow green leds flahses for <1 seconds and nothing happens. I'm sure that the phone is unable to get in flashmode. Now I think I need another flashing method where flashmode is not required, if it is possible....
Anyway thank you for your time and reply!!
have you tried to check on sony service ? just make sure that is not hardware broken.
There are several method other than using flashtool.
1. Try repair feature in PC companion
2. If cannot update try download SUS (Google this)
3. Or if u can enter fastboot, u can try to flash the kernel via flashtool. Open flashtool, then go to fastboot mode, then unplug cable, Off phone, enter fastboot mode, in flashtool select flash kernel, select .img file (extract from kernel u download, ensure it has recovery I.e doomkernel) then flash. This will only work if ur bootloader unlocked already + rooted.
4. Try to root u phone 1st then unlocked bootloader. (please backup ur TA partition, otherwise u will loss ur DRM key or in other word loss ur bravia engine feature, custom Rom have this feature already actually, unless u want to go back to completely stock Rom)
5. Or download older version of flashtool. Ur version of Rom .278 seem very rare, never heard of it. Maybe the first Rom version before .350.

Yes for that you'll need root with cwm installed. So that you can flash using any zip..

Use SUS to repair ur phone...if still getting the problem let me know...I've found a workaround the SIM error

Hello everybody , to all mates who bricked their phones by upgrading or using custom roms
I had soft brick my phone 3 times before and i read all soft brick methods here in our lovely forum, if u can my steps you will recover your phone 100%.
Note: remove your sd card and put it in PC and upload a custom rom in it, then bring it back to phone.
Lets go
1-]first of all these for unlocked boot loader.
2- after your phone die, connect to wall charger, at first will be no response (no red led) its OK don't be afraid.
3- charge it till red led on (it may takes many hours first time it need from me 22 hours, but usually need 10-15 hours).
4- now boot loops will start , its OK you are almost done believe me, prepare flash-tool in PC but do not select any thing.
5- while phone boot loop connect phone to your PC and do soft reset, ie hold power bottom and up volume bottom your phone will vibrate once now let power bottom and keep pushing up volume bottom (the phone is connected to PC as we said), blue led will appear which mean you are in fast-boot mode.
6- in flash tool select fast boot mode, a dialogue will appear select now (Select kernel To Flash), a window will appear choose from it JB_211_Kernel_twrp2.5.elf kernel or any CWM support kernel and flash it.
7- you will see the dialogue of flashing which till you that flashing is OK..
8 - now select reboot system from flash tool, your phone will restart.
9- enter recovery and select wipe all (advanced) system, data, cash and davlik cash, only leave internal memory and sd card
10- now select back and choose install and select any custom rom you have put in sd card and install it, after that select reboot system and you will go :laugh: its working believe me the phone will boot.
11- if you want to flash it with stock rom, after you boot recovery select power option and select power off (do not choose reboot) your phone will turn off, now prepare flash tool in PC and select your stock rom, wait till a pop up message appear to connect phone, connect your phone in flash mode ( volume down key and connect phone to PC) and flash stock rom .

Hi
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, flashtool version 0.6.9.1
Here is my device info before the tragedy D:
ROM : Gin2JB (i forget the version)
Kernel : Lupus kernel (again forget the version)
I don't know what happen but my phone won't turned on D: when i press the power button it's vibrating, it even can go to the flashmode and fastboot mode, but it just wont show anything on screen D: is it my screen or what?
i already try to turn it on and wait for a while, so the phone can load and I try to call my own number but i can't, it's not connected D:
i think it's a little strange because it's happening when i'm reading a Visual Novel via VNDS, then i decided to take a break, and put the screen off by pressing the power button, then i try to turn it on again, usually when i try to turn on the screen again, it's lagging a little and the screen turned on normally , but the this time only the sound playing and *pop* the phone turned off completely! and then i try to turn on the phone but it won't D: i pull out the battery and turn it on again, and still it won't turned on D:
I even try to flash a .ftf file R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf (Here is the MD5 in case i flash a broken .ftf MD5 : 317FCA41566A2FE8331B670087DB015F)
after flashing i try to turn it on again but no luck D:
And if i try to pull out the battery and turn it on like normal and wait for a while (So if it's really the screen problem maybe it's load up to normal state) then try to plug it to the computer (Note : The memory card is not detected), the flashtool log show like this :
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
INFO - Device disconnected <--- I'm not unpluging my phone but it's disconnected automatically! and windows keep installing a new driver for MTP USB Device! right after the install for new driver fail, the "Device disconnected" message show up then it's connected automatically again and then it's doing same thing again and again D:
So any suggestion or idea what happen to my phone? D: is it really the screen? or the software? or anything else maybe??? if you need more info regarding my problem i'll be happy to tell you
sorry if my English is baaad :silly: not my mother tongue~~~

Ok, as i understand it, you used to have gin2JB rom with Lupus kernel when you got black screen, then you flashed stock firmware.
Stock firmware don't have usb debbuging enabled by default and that is why you are getting "Device connected with USB debugging off"
You could try to update flashtool to see will that solve device disconnection problem.
Also, try different usb cable and even different usb port at motherboard (including back ports)
PC companion should work even with USB debugging disabled. If he recognize devise normaly, it is most likely hardware error. And maybe it's even flex slider cable fault (because it's weakest part of xPlay)
You try to open and close gamepad (and even some middle positions, when it's not even open or closed) when powering on. If you see screen working even for few seconds, then it's most likely damaged flex.
Ofcourse, maybe screen is dead, but chanse for that is lower (but not impossible)
Hi
Thanks for the reply, now i'm positive it's an hardware failure D: because i try to flash LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img, and turn it on, and wait for a while, and *boom* pc companion detect my phone, well i don't know i should be happy or not D: (i'm still hoping it's a software failure though )
well i think the screen is dead, i try the "middle position" method but it wont work D:
well now any suggestion how to fix it?
I have another question though how can i use my android as modem (tethering) without configuring anything via phone (because it's half dead now), any info would be nice
As for flex cable, check out this thread from CriGiu about similar problem (to lazy to type it again ). It is not hard but you need special screwdriver
As for tethering, things can be little tricky. You need only to select tethering options in menu I know, with black screen it can be tricky
There is a way to see what is in phone but it is also... tricky
There is program for PC that can show what is on screen of phone, but it needs usb debugging enabled. Stock firmware don't have it enabled but most of custom roms have it. You "only" need to flash custom rom
Without working screen, it can be hard to install custom rom from recovery, but not impossible. I have an idea, you can try it if you want:
-download file in attachment and unpack it in some folder in PC
-download some recent GB or ICS custom rom frox XDA (for Play, ofcorse)
-make folder named "A1" on sdcard and place your rom into that folder (i guess you still can do that, most probably with pc companion if sd card is not mounted already)
-flash lupus ics/gb v7 kernel (skip if it's already flashed)
-power on phone in fastboot mode (or stay in it if you just flashed kernel)
-from unpacked folder double-click on file named "start.bat". It will erase all system and data on phone (but not sd card)
-disconnect and power on phone
-now, since it's lupus kernel, and since system is erased, it will boot directly to cwm recovery
-wait about 30sec or minute to make sure it is in recovery (since you can't see anything, we are guessing here)
-press menu button once (that should select "install zip" from recovery menu)
-press home button 4 (four) times (or maybe 5 or 6 , just in case ). Luckily, it will flash rom from first folder in sdcard (and that's why name "A1" for folder - use capital letter, it does matter)
-wait 5 minutes for rom to be flashed (just in case) and reboot (battery off/on)
-wait 10minutes rom to boot (maybe less, depends on rom)
-from attachment folder start file named "droidAtScreen-1.0.1.cmd" on pc (i do hope you have java installed on pc)
-if all goess well, you should see on PC screenshots of phone
-use dpad buttons to navigate to tethering options (and make sure to disable lockscreen - in case touchscreen is not working). If your touchscreen is working, it's flex cable 99% faulty :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't work, you can flash stock firmware back so you can use pc companion
As i said, tricky, but not impossible :laugh:
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Hello all.
I hate to post this, but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I've scoured the web for 4 days now, and cannot find an answer.
I have an Lt28at that had Cwm on it. I flashed a rom (which I later found out was a Jellybean rom) and needless to say, I'm in a bootloop.
I power on my phone, it displays the Sony logo, black screen, reboots back to the Sony logo, and so on. Cwm is gone, I've tried powering on while holding back, while holding Volume Down, while holding Volume Up, and even trying Cwm again.
I've read where people talk about flashmode, but I can't seem to get access to this if the Lt28at has it.
There seems to be no working method for me and I think I may have a paperweight.
If anyone happens to know what to do, I'm all ears.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact problem as you with the same phone. The thing is even when you hard reset the phone, when it starts charging again, eventually will start boot looping again and its impossible to put the ION in flashmode that way.
Can you take apart your phone and disconnect the battery from the mainboard? I just bought the tools for that I'm and waiting for them to ship. I don't think I'll have any luck for what I said before though.
What might actually works is charge the battery outside the phone (A ultra pain) and then use SEUS to recover the phone. I have not tried to see if SEUS recognizes my phone when it's boot looping. I will install Windows XP on a spare partition and try that out.
Will subscribe this thread, please help us people!

Dude,
I have bootlooped loads of phones in my time and its easy to sort out.
How to fastboot flash boot img
1) Download from XDA minimal fastboot and ADB drivers – from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
2) Install and run as admistrator – this will open a command window
3) Connect phone in fastboot mode, turn off the device, hold volume up and then connect your usb cable, the phone should he be in fastboot mode
4) In the command window enter the following – fastboot devices – this will show if your phone is connect by returning something like the image attached
5) Now you need to extract the boot img file from the rom you want to install, do this using winzip which can be downloaded from the internet.
6) You then need to open the location of your fastboot file and paste in the boot img file
7) Enter the following command into the command window – fastboot flash boot boot.img
8) Then use the command – fastboot reboot
9) Your phone should now boot up correctly with no error.
Our bootloaders are blocked thanks to AT&T, so that will be impossible! I cant even enter in fastboot mode
I see,
This is going to be tricky then, do either of you have a working recovery?
Is the phone recognised when connected via USB?
Sent from my Xperia S, made awesome by XDA.
It seems like no, just boot loops displaying the sony logo and thats all!
Hmmm,
ok this is the only other thing I got but its pretty hardcore.
First download flashtool and the latest Tft for your phone.
and the process goes like this !
1.open flashtool !*
2.turn off your phone and remove the battery !
3.click on the flash button on the flashtool.
4. at MODE SELECT --- select FLASHMODE --- click OK*
5. FIRMWARE SELECTION --- select SOURCE FOLDER ----- [....] will help u browse to the file location select it then !
6. WIPE ---check both WIPE DATA and WIPE CACHE
7. the click OK
8. After few sec it will ask for usb connection so PUT YOUR BATTERY BACK AND CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO COMPUTER BY PRESSING VOLUME DOWN BUTTON ON THE RIGHT !
9. wait till the process is over
10. unplug your device and wait it will take some time to boot up don't worry just stay calm*
Your phone should then be fully working

Thanks alot for your help! I'm waiting for my tools to ship, i hope to get them by monday and do that, but unplugging the battery isn't the same as hard reseting the device?
Hi All,
My phone was shutting itself down yesterday for no reason, so I boot into TWRP, thinking I should do something there, maybe restore to a previous backup, or wipe cache, etc...
I was in a hurry to go to the game (GO WARRIORS!), so I was just trying to get the phone ready for the game...
I tried the "Regular" wipe, and when it didn't work, I went into advanced wipe, and chose system wipe and REBOOT the phone (BAD IDEA!)....
so now my phone won't go past the SONY logo, because there is no system to boot into
What can be done here? Flashtool won't recognize my phone, and kept telling me I need to install the correct driver, and I can't boot into recovery.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Try connecting your phone to Sony PC companion it has all the device drivers. It may not recognize your phone when you connect it but proceed to the update/renew tab and follow the on screen prompts.
Nope ,won't connect, it turns on for like 1 second when the cable is plugged in... then it turns off again
is there any other way?
Connect it with fastboot.
To do this, hold the volume up button while connecting it with your PC, the LED will go blue.
Now you can either flash a rom via flashtool, repair it with PC Companion, or emma.
But since you have TWIRP, I would guess PC companion won't help you. You will likely also whipe all your backups stored on the phone by doing this, unless they're on the SD card, but that's better than having no phone at all.

1) install flash tool by androxyde
2) open the flash tool.
3) click thunder button and select flashmode.
4) connect your phone via usb (if message: device status no found [is ok])
5) press reset button 30 seconds( 1 vibrate and again 3-4 vibrates)
6) and now your phone is connected via flashmode.
7) Download original rom and put in any folder. [PM ME IF NOT HAVE ORIGINAL ROM .ftf]
8) Select "any" folder in source folder firmware selector
8) Press flash and wait.

I was able to flash "C6506_10.6.A.0.454 R2E_Customized US" to the phone, however ,after the process is done, it still won't get past the SONY screen.
Xperia shows underneath SONY logo this time though, so something was done to the phone.
ohhh
go to service gsm, maybe your motherboard/sd memory is die.

If you use Windows 8, you must disable driver signature before installing flashtool, for this, hold shift key while restart your computer, enter in the proper settings and choose "disable signature driver", after this, install flashtool, then go to its folder and find folder driver and install the Xperia Z family driver. After these processes your phone will be recognized by flashtool

My Phone is stuck on Sony Logo and rebooring again and again. With Fastboot I am getting simlock.ta file warning. After that phone is useless as of now. Do you recommend anything?

I couldn't get it fixed, so I bought a Z3 Compact, great phone, way faster than the ZL.

Does your phone start to home screen when you put in AC charging from wall socket?
I think you mean Flashmode...If you didn't try flashmode.Install needed drivers from flashtool folder.Connect you phone in flashmode (volume down+cable into).disconnect it.
load ftf-exclude any .TA files if you r not locked to any carrier.--click on 'No final verification'.
flash and connect when asked when displays .Hope it helps.Keep us updated.
