[Q] Bootloop after editing built.prop [SOLVED] - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all, I Need Your help!
Xperia Z1 Compact, rooted with EasyRootTool
Stock Rom 4.4.2
Stock Recovery+Bootloader (LOCKED)
USB Debugging UNCHECKED
I edited my built.prop (made changes to "Samsung" to try to get gear fit-Apps working)
After a restart I am now stuck in boot-loop:
only see the Sony-logo (xperia-logo does not appear)
This is what I tried without success:
- boot into recovery (did not work because it is stock+locked?)
- connect the phone via ADB, Sony Flashtool, Odin (was not able to get a connection)
Do You have any idea what I could do now?
Thanks, Joe
Problem solved.
Maybe there would have been a better way, but I finally could flash the stock Rom via Flashtool.

Xperia Arc Boot Loop

I own a Sony Xperia Arc (purchased on June, 2011) and it doesn't work anymore without any explanation.
When I turn on the phone, it appears Sony Ericcson brand and then, mobile network carrier brand, but then, instead of appearing home, it appears again Sony brand and an infinite loop goes on.
At first,I tried to solve the problem with the Sony tools like PC Companion and Sony Update Service.
Then, I tried to do a hard reset (back + menu and power), but nothing changed (the same bootloop).
What would you do now? Would be useful trying to flash some firmware? I have been reading posts about flashing firmware, bootloader unlocking and rooting Xperia Arc, but I don't now really what would be the best move now.
For your information, I haven't applied any kind of official upgrade before, neither I have tried to root the phone or flash any custom firmware, so I had my phone as it came from factory (with Android 2.3.2). Moreover, I haven't installed any suspicious application, just typical apps like whatsapp and so on. By the way, the phone haven't suffered any crash neither wet.
I have attached the log I have taken when I try to turn on the phone (I get the same log again and again, at the end of the log it reports some problem with memory, I hope it's not a hardware problem):
Try using the Flashtool and report back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

[Q] Is my Arc S bricked? update: solved

Hi guys, i have a question, i have a Arc S with stock ICS so i tried to root it (flash the 4.0.3 kernel so i can root it), i tried to flash the kernel via flashtool, it gave some type or error and my phone rebooted but after the sony logo it appeared an rectangle with an exclamation mark and turned off.
I've tried to flash via flashboot the previous kernel 587, and via flashtool but no sucess..
Pc companion doesnt recognize the phone cause the Arc turns on but turns off after getting to the triangle.
Is it bricked? :x
Thanks.
___________________________
I downloaded the recent Arc S rom (587) and flashed it via flashtool and it worked! No more triangles!
Sorry for opening the topic, hope it helps future users in the same situation.

bot @melvinhatred , @mahyjooon
seems like u have FLASHED wrong kernels, what are your Exact devices? E6xxx ?
tell me your devices , so that i can guide u better
when you downloaded latest FTF, why did u extract? there is not such need!
download full ftf file via FLASHTOOL ! / the last button on flashtool menu is Xperifirm , click it, select your DEVICE MODEL (accurately) from LEFTSIDE menu, then on the rightside, download LATEST rom as per your country (if country is not listed then Central USA / Europe , or MENA Arabic also) will do just fine.
after FLASHTOOL download and prepare your ftf file, connect your device in FLASH MODE and FLASH this rom (wipe data/kernel/system/setting/userdata ALL)
NOW --------------- since you have BRICKED/ bootloop fone try this
PRESS POWER+VOLUME up key for 5 seconds --- AS SOON AS FONE VIBRATE - RELEASE FINGERS INSTANTLY!!!!
if it restarts and goes in to boot loops then
PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOLUM UP KEY FOR 15 SECONDS --- THE FONE WILL VIBRATE 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHILE ITS VIBRATING SECOND TIME, RELEASE YOUR FINGERS AT ONCE!!!
THE device will sleep.
now try connection your device for flashing in flash mode for FLASHTOOL
this trick / methods is tested by me for xperia z (older device),
tell me what happens with your z5 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i have E6833, i was tring to root it via this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ck-root-xperia-z5-premium-sony-stock-t3335974
but after installing supersu it faced softbrick and didn't boot so I tried to flash stock .253 tft file which i had downloaded from other sources , with flash tools but it stuck on modem.sin and i have to brought it to the shop to have it recover by box .its not the first time i'm facing the problem with flash tools , it always stock on one step for about an hour, the time before the last, i was trying to update it by flash tools and it stucked again.the xperia companion isn't working either -_- it says that it cant connect to network to find the update ! i checked the firewall and internet explorer internet options tab , but nothing worked for me ! my flash tools version is 0.9.22.0 build on 16-5-2016 . the last time i tried 0.9.18 version cause i saw somewhere that maybe the problem is related to new version but it didn't worked again, at the end what i think is that there should be zip flashing method from custom or stock recovery for flashing stock Roms too ! flash tools sucks in my case -_-
