[Q] Sony PC Companion? Brick? - Sony Xperia ZL

I contacted Sony because my phone has been having the battery bug/problem (shuts off randomly). They instructed me to download and use the Sony Companion Tool and run the Repair My Phone procedure. I have already reverted back to stock with flashboot but I still have a locked bootloader (never saved TA partition/keys) and I have TWRP v2.6.3.0
I'm worried if I run the the software / repair my phone process, that the phone will brick...
What should I do? Can I revert back to the stock recovery and then run their software? How do I revert back to stock recovery?

What happens if you hold the reset button down until it powers off, then plug in to your computer holding the volume down... does flash tool recognize it?

[SOLVED] Xperia Arc bricked, need help fast

I know this has been asked before, but I just can't find a answer. I am really new to this and just wanted to use cyanogenmod because I heard it makes your phone faster.
Ok, so I really want to get Cyanogenmod (should I ask this on they're forums?) on my xperia arc, it was rogers branded, lt15a, .42. So apparently it wasn't for lt15a, so I spent hours trying to find a working rom for lt15i .42, and finally I did it. So I flashed to it and root it and get my stuff off my titanium backup, and go to install cyanogenmod from the clockworkmod menu (I installed it from xperia cwm auto-install). I go down to install from zip, blah blah blah select cyanogen's .zip, and get assert prop error lt18i. That was weird, because on the zip it says its for lt15i, and it said lt15i before when I tried using my lt15a. So I read something on here that said to remove the assert prop stuff from the updater-service file or something, so I did that. I went to install cyanogenmod and it said it was successful and it rebooted my phone. It went to the sony ericsson logo, and wouldn't leave. I go to restore it using the PC Companion update, but it just says it can't detect it. So I go to use flashtool and none of them work. But it said to turn off the phone, obviously it wouldn't turn off, so I took out the battery. Now it just won't turn back on! Have I permanantly bricked it? I can't send it in, because it had root checker and stuff on there. What do I do?
Sorry for the wall of text
Didnt you take a backup before installing the zip???
If so...just restore it through CWM.

It took a long time, many errors, but I do have a backup in rom manager from before I started trying to use cyanogenmod. But it didn't work when I tried it before I bricked my device, and I can't access CWM because I get stuck on sony ericsson and won't let me pass
have you tried flashing a .img via fastboot? you say your device wont turn off after you took out the battery. However can you still put it in flashmode? getting stuck on the boot logo, for me it seems like you didn't use the fxp kernel.

and for me also... (fxp works only with theirs kernel)
try to flash fxp kernel and than restart your phone... if needed reinstall zip from sd card.

The screen shuts off when I take out the battery, but when the device is on it doesn't shut off unless I take the battery out and put it back in.

Try flashing using method like in the link above (using fastboot), the code should be like this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
And to enter fastboot mode, turn off your phone. hold menu key (not back key) while plugging your usb to phone (don't turn on the phone)
Hope it help

If your software update fails, the phone cannot be powered on properly. When you press the Power key, the phone vibrates and for a few seconds the display either shows Sony Ericsson in grey, or a warning triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and telephone symbol.
The phone then turns off and remains off. To fix this problem, connect the phone to PC Companion again, click start under Phone software update and click on the repair phone link
If the update does not start charge your battery. You need at least 40% battery power to initiate a software update. Charge the phone and then reconnect it to PC Companion.
Don’t use hubs and docks, connect the phone’s USB cable directly to the computer’s USB port. Do not remove or attach any other USB device during the update.

[Q] Forget to checklist usb debugging mode

It Fixed. Thx
My phone Arc S. 404 fw 413 virgin
After I look JJHybrid 3.1 i'm amazed with the UI. And plus the Locked BL users also can try it. and i'm doing step by step to do so. i root my phone, install CWM download JJhybrid 2.5 and i am succesfully to try the 2.5, and after that i accidentally unchecklist my usb debugging mode and than i try to upgrade to JJhybrid 3.1, i'm doing it wrong. i didnt wipe the data, instead i just upgrade it. and my phone now stuck on sony logo. i try to flash it with many FTF, ready to root FTF, middle east FTF, spain FTF. and the result is zero. always aborting the flashing. i try to remember what might wrong, and voila.. i think i know the problem, usb debugging mode that i unchekclist before. so what do i do to checklist that usb debugging mode again? my phone just stuck in sony logo T.T
or could someone give me step by step to get my phone on again T.T please
Flash a kernel with integrated CWM on ramdisk and boot in CWM. I recommend doomlord's kernel since it can boot even you borked out any ROMs.

Oh ok locked bootloader is another issue. Anyways try booting the rom on safe mode. Just power on your phone, when sony logo shows up press and hold the hardware menu button. If it fails and flashtool also fails then bring it to service center.

[Q] How to unbrick Arc S LT18i no leds

I've been searching tutorials from start to finish and can't find solution to my problem.
I have a Arc S from a friend that's bricked it gets stuck on sony ericcson logo.
Tried PC Companion not detected
Tried Update Service not detected
Tried Flashtool it detects phone as connected but without developer mode
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
I hold back key, no green led
I hold menu key, no blue led
Doesn't enter fastboot mode or flashmode.
Anyone knows how can i recover it? I don't know if it's unlocked bootloader or custom firmware or anything.
I think it maybe a kernel problem but didn't find tutorial to flash it without flashtool.
Regards,

			
				
Tried that already, when i hold the buttons (either back or menu) no led lights up when i connect usb it just shows the sony ericsson logo...
Regards.

From what i've been told it died overnight during an OTA update.
The only too ways the computer detects it is by getting stuck on sony logo and flashtool detecting it as usb debug disabled or by doing the testpoint and computer detecting it as a Zeus Flash Device.
All the other ways, holding buttons etc's always gets me to the stuck logo no leds no nothing.

If you can't get the Phone in flashmode as you've already stated then you need a service centre. The only other alternative is to contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 who have SETool and will try and help remotely.

So were you just doing a standard OTA update and then you ran out of battery?
If you want, you could try Sony's new EMMA software for returning devices with unlocked bootloaders back to stock.
Did you unbricked you phone? I have the same problem after a wipe data from clocworkmod and i am unable to go in flashmode or recovery. Fashtool detect my device but just like your with debug off...

Handful of problems!

Hello! A friend of mine give me his phone to fix it. It was stuck on the Exclamation Mark and Phone image. I flashed it with Flashtool and LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.Central.Europe.1.1247-1041. Now, the phone works, it boots and so on.
1st problem : the wifi doesn't work, it gets stuck at turning on.
2nd problem : i can't access flash mode, i tried like a million times, no luck (it used to work though, now it just enters charge mode and that's it). Without flash mode, i can't flash a new FW or ROOT/install CWM to repair wifi.
3rd problem : the phone sees a new update, 4.1.B.0.587, but it can't install it over wap, and i can't flash it either.
4th problem : PCC/SEUS can't update the phone/nor repair it, tough the phone is seen and detected.
I'm open for advices on how to fix those issues. Thank you very much in advance.

the problem is (as i took it out of his post), that he can't flash anything.

If you cannot use SEUS, then you prolly have an unlocked bootloader.
Flash a kernel with cwm like advanced stock and post back with info.
If you still get stuck, try to flash a rom from dev section, or/and post a logcat with the errors
Like i told in my original post : I CAN'T enter flash mode, and the phone IS SEEN by SEUS/PCC (but it can't repair, nor update it, since it requires flash mode)
About the unlocked bootloader, i don't know.

Well, it might be worth the idea to unlock the bl, download a custom rom, flash a custom kernel which fits with this rom, flash the rm, and afther that, flash back the generic firmware. IK, it's a crazy idea, but maybe it helps
ragards - Cartman
Edit: flash custom kernel via fastboot, (which is usual the way), so you do not need flashmode
I will unlock the bootloader, if it's really necessary (i think it's not unlocked). Though i'm pretty sure i CAN'T, since i can't use fastboot, same problem as flashmode.
AW: Handful of problems!
well, first unlock bl and try, if that won't work, then you have to live without wifi.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop - Pls help

I have a rooted ZL with a stock rom. Today I got an update for some Sony app (forget which one) and I tried to integrate it into the rom using Titanium BU. That seemed to fail and Titanium just kept on trying. So, I turned the phone off and tried to start it back up again. Now I'm stuck in a loop. It gets to the SONY logo and then starts again.
I've read through some of the other boot loop posts here and I tried a few things already. I've tried the reset button in the back by the SD card. I held it for 10 seconds until I got the second set of vibrations. I tried turning it back on again and I'm still stuck in the loop. I download the companion software (Bridge for Mac. Same as PC companion) and it can't find the device. Actually, at one point in the boot loop it says it is connecting but then shortly after it says no device detected. This cycle continues as the boot loops.
Please, can anybody help me here? Can I flash a new rom seeing as it is rooted? If so, point me in the right direction as I don't know how.

I already said in my original post that I've tried the companion software. I can't get it to recognize the device.
I have tried to boot into recovery mode but am failing. I tried powering on while repeatedly pressing vol up but it just brings up the Sony logo and reboots into the same loop. So, I can't get it to connect to the computer via USB and I can't see how to flash a ROM without being able to get to recovery. Can anybody offer any suggestion other than to throw it away and buy another? I would greatly appreciate it.

I have tried to boot into recovery mode but am failing. I tried powering on while repeatedly pressing vol up but it just brings up the Sony logo and reboots into the same loop. So, I can't get it to connect to the computer via USB and I can't see how to flash a ROM without being able to get to recovery. Can anybody offer any suggestion other than to throw it away and buy another? I would greatly appreciate it.

SEUS is a little different than pc companion...google it...with it you will be able to restore your phone...
It have step by step on how to restore it to original state...
If you have ftf file and know how to flash it...then your good to go...
Don't repeatedly press the volume button when connecting via USB, when its off, press and hold volume down button while connecting the USB cable, led will turn blue...that's is flash mod...and you will be able to flash ftf file...
It's the same with SEUS when trying to restore it...

Thanks, I'll have to try on my Windows machine when I get home. It's not working on the Mac with the companion software. SEUS is PC only.
I did try connecting while holding the vol down key. I got a quick red led flash followed by a quick green flash, then nothing. No blue, and the computer doesn't see it. I did get the blue led when connecting with the vol up key. But, there is no indication that the computer sees the device.
I'm losing hope here. If I can't get a pc to recognize the device then no companion software or SEUS is going to help. It sucks that you can't hard reset the device without needing to be able to connect to a PC.
Success!
I was able to reload the OS using the SEUS. Big sigh of relief!
Thank you to all that helped. It is greatly appreciated.
