Hey..
I was trying this service that sony provides at myxperia.sonymobile.com
This helps users to locate, lock and erase their device from anywhere.
But when i tried to lock it i just heard the notification tone from my phone. Then when i was trying to turn on the screen it was not responding.
Then it started rebooting.
And till now its just stuck on the boot animation screen.
Dont know what went wrong.
I did try to flash it using flash tool. But even thats not happening.
When i try to flash it, it exits flashmode and turns on [boot animation].
I am flashing without wiping cache or data. [i need those]
Phone is not rooted.
So is there any method that will help?
WIll unlocking the Boot Loader help?
I am using :
Xperia M C1904
Firmware : 4.3 15.4.A.1.9
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks
Do you wait until you are asked to connect your phone or do you plug in your phone and then press flash?

Ya bro that was what i was trying to tell you. The way you were doing it was wrong and good luck in the future.

I had recently flashed my phone with a custom rom (I do that all the time, when a new rom comes up, for testing) But because battery drain issues with custom roms, i decided to go back to the stock firmware, so i flashed my rom with the ver 4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212). When i connected my phone to my wifi network it showed, a new update that was available i.e 4.0.1.A.0.42 ver. so i downloaded it via wifi and when it started installing the update, my phone suddenly switched off. And nw it wont turn on...I tried flashing it again, the flashing process successfully completes but still the phone wont switch on. When i press the power button it just vibrates for short time and a green light (flashing light) flashes on and off. The fone wont enter into fastboot mode. when i plug it to the usb the green light glow even if i dont press the back button.... what do i do...
any help would be appreciated ...thank you in advance.
Did you unlock the bootloader? You cannot update OTA with it.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
yes the bootloader is unlocked..
i wonder if your phone can be resurrected by Alejandrissimo
That's what happens when you don't follow instructions.. There are many, many warnings all over these forums about OTA causing problems with an unlocked bootloader.

Did u try to fix the problem with Flashtool (flashing a stock rom on ur phone)
Yeah...I'ld be really carefull the next time....Can be repaired or i'll have to find a SE service center.. ??
Yeah ....flashing completes ... but it doesn't start, Does the same thing ....when i press the power button it just vibrates...
Try to flash a new kernel on it with a guided Tutoril...u will find one here or try to boot the RecoveryPLAY.img with fastboot too
I cant enter the fastboot mode....if i press the search button and plug the usb nothing happens for sometime and the fone enters the flash mode. so i guess that i'll have to recover the boot ...i guess its corrupted...
now i have the ultimate solution...relock the bootloader again, then flash a stock rom on it...it will work fine again!!

Someone faced this also. Can you try this? Turn off phone, unplug battery for 2 minutes, place battery and boot.

I already did a factory reset but it still comes up in safe mode + the menu button at the front is not working. I'm trying the software update(repair) through PC companion now, but it's taking forever to finish.
Its been a couple of hours now and the pc companion phone software update is still not done processing. I don't have anything in my phone how come its taking so long? please help me.
I think I know the reason why
I think I found out what's causing my phone to be stuck in safemode. I did everything even the software update in pc companion but it's still stuck on safemode. I think I know why. my front menu button I think is stuck that's why no matter how much I reboot its still on safe mode because its like I'm still pressing it. does anyone know how to clean the back? Please tell me 'cause I don't know how...

Contact Cleaner
I fixed it a few weeks ago, figured all I needed was a contact cleaner, there was dust causing the front menu button to be stuck, that's why the phone thinks I want to go on safe mode because the menu button is being pressed. >_<
I wanted to post this so that if ever this happens to you don't freak out immediately and check if its clean before you restore factory settings or whatever.
Hi Guys
So heres what happened. I rooted my phone and installed the Beats Audio Driver from the Fantastic Audio Installer by motioncoding from the play store. It came to my understanding that the beats driver did not properly install. I opened the app and pressed install and the phone is now in a constant boot loop This is where the phone can boot into the lockscreen but then it automatically restarts and the whole cycle repeats over and over again.
Currently i can only get my phone into flash mode but not fastboot.
-The phone has had its network unlocked. 2 days ago i typed in a network unlock pin into the phone
-The sony flashtool (emma) doesnt work because i have a unlockable bootloader
-I did not install CWM because i only rooted my phone 3 hours ago and i did not know at the time
Does anyone know if flashtool by bin4ry will help me get out of the bootloop in my case
Thanks

It's best to wipe everything in this case, wipe dalvik's cache too, make a clean install.

Just use flashtool with flashmode....
1.Press lightning icon on flashtool and select your rom.....
2.If you want to keep your data uncheck it in the selection menu.
3.Switch off your phone.Plug your phone with volume down key pressed..A green led should light up and flashtool will show your device
connected...
4. Flashing would start....
5.Wait for the rom to be flashed...
6. Device will reboot and it could take upto 2-5 mins approx..
THAT'S IT.....YOU NOW HAVE YOUR PHONE AS IT WAS..:highfive:
AND LET ME KNOW PLS..
