So after my comedy of errors that was my playing around yesterday, I got my phone working again. Now I want to try again (and quit before the point that I broke it yesterday). However in fixing it I upgraded to 253 firmware, and I want to go back to 434. however I open up FlashTool get my ftf ready to flash, turn the phone off. Next step is volume down and plug in the USB cable, but instead of the light coming up green, it flashes green then immediately red (or possibly vice versa) then the light goes off, but FlashTool still thinks it's connected and in flash mode until I remove the cable. The battery has been a little bit drained through all of this. so I'm going to pump it up overnight and try again in the morning and hope that it just won't enter flash mode under X% battery, but if that's not the case has anyone ever run into this previously? or have any suggestions?
I have a locked bootloader, and it cannot be unlocked so fastboot options are out of the question. However it is worth noting that when I hold the volume up and plug in the USB cable, the blue light does stay on and I can gather info using FlashTool.

U want to flash 434 back right? So u need to enter flash mode which is volume up + connect to PC.

Volume up does fastboot, volume down does flash mode. When I hold volume down the problem is the LED flashes Green, then immediately red then turns off and then will not continue flashing.

Can you tell me how did you solve the problem? Because right now I'm having the sam thing on my ZL... I'm trying it with the newst flashtool, the light is green and turns into red and nothing happens...
Do a hard reset on it (using the button on the back), don't turn it on and follow the Flashtools flashing process
1.- Open Flashtools
2.- Flash mode > Flashmode > Select the FTF you just downloaded (The one of 700+MB) > Flash
3.- Connect your Phone in Flash mode (It will start flashing).
4.- Boot your phone and you're ready to go.
When selecting the FTF just select it and leave everything as it is and make sure that you have installed the drivers for flashing (
They are where found you installed Flashtools
In a folder called Drivers, open the .exe and Install these:
- Fastboot drivers
- Flashmode drivers
- Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers
If stills doesn't works I can't help any far as that, but I would suggest you that If you are able try to flash it on another computer (It might sound silly but It could actually work ), also make sure that you're running the latest Flashtool which is v0.9.11.0 and can be found here: http://androxyde.github.io/
That is quiet normal, green appears...red or whatever....out, flashmode connected, look into flashtool.....fine, no light on the phone....flash, but have an eye into flashtool after 1 or 2 minutes if you don't start flashing your phone disconnects automatically...and will stay on charging only.

It would be fine, but tha flashtool displays some kind of instructions when it asks you to connect your phone in flashmode, and I connect it holding down the volume down key + connect AND then that instructions window should close automatically BUT that is just not happening. I've tried it 30 times already, all the drivers on, flashtool recognizes my phone when i start it... It is just not getting in flashmode! Is there any other way to flash the phone without flashmode??? I can get in fastboot I think, because if I press the volume up key while connecting the blue led is on, so it works.
I'm ready to donate for someone who can help me to get this phone work!

what version of Flashtool are you using? If it is the newest from the Androxyde's site, that wouldn't work for me either, you need to use the beta release. There should be a link above to the thread where they update the beta releases.

I have the same problem
I am on unlocked bootloader Xperia L i tried everyting but no help......drivers and all are fine
Just making sure you are doing it correctly you turn off the phone, hold the volume down Jerry and then connecting the usb cable?
Sorry for digging. I hope it helps other people.
You have problem with drivers. You need to turn off driver signature enforcement - search google for "testsigning on". Apply it in cmd, reboot pc. Then install flashtool drivers (fastboot and flashmode, then reboot for being sure) and then try to flash. Cheers
I have Sony M4 aqua fastboot mode is working but flash mode the light is green but flash tool cant recognise it nothing happens
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...

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?

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.

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..

my xperia play r800i wont boot, it show signs of charging e.g blinking red light, red light, amber light, green light but wont boot, when i remove the battery and re insert it it will vibrate and then nothing, not even the backlight turns on just a black screen, i cannot get it to go into fastboot mode strangely so i am unable to unlock the bootloader and therefore unable to flash it back to stock, if some-one could point me to a video guide on how to get it to go to fastboot mode. with the pc companion tool it first saw it as "null" device but after updating it to latest firmware through it it reconises it as an r800 xperia play yet i am unable to browse files at all on it. i have also re updated it through update service but again nothing. this phone is out of warranty so that isn't an option. if anyone could help it would be awesome.

just to be clear to put it into fast boot mode i have attempeted the following
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search and power simltaniously, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, press power until vibration while holding search, nothing
remove battery, hold search, reinsert battery still holding search, hold power button while still holding search, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search, insert usb, begins charging... no blue light
it shows no sign of charging after i "turn it on" the light goes out but i know that the front plate, i.e screen,menu buttons is not completely unresponsive as if i hold the return button when i insert the usb it recognizes it different as i was trying to flash it earlyer and it is required in the updating process, please help
it seems if i leave it plugged in via usb it will randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer and yes pc companion will say that the device is detected every time. its almost as if it is stuck in an invisible and very fast bootloop as it disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals, this only happens after it has been "turned on"
it also appears that the battery drains very rapidly as after only a few minuets of removing battery holding power ect. it will no longer "turn on" and no light will turn on through a usb socket but when plugged into the wall after a short pause it shows the amber charging light. could this be a battery problem? con the xperia play normally boot off wall power without a battery? if so then it is the devices problem as mine cannot but if it cant normally then maybe its the battery, i have a new one ordered and will arive soon and i will keep you posted.

nothing, thats the strange thing, i just put it on charge one day and then... poof, dead
I've got the exact same issue, but i know how you could get into flashmode or fastboot mode.
Pull the battery out and insert the usb cable (when connected to the Pc of course) and put the usb cable in the phone while holding either back or the search button. Nownit should be in the sepected mode

If your bootloader is unlocked, use this method, BUT BE SURE to carrefully READ the steps, ESPECIALLY the steps "when to connect cable to phone"

Does your flashmode stop after a little bit of time? It does on mine, that's really strange

Try to get into fastboot mode with that method i told you above. Then try to unlock your bootloader.
Pull battery out -> insert usb cable first in computer -> connect it to the Play while holding the search button -> put the battery in while still holding the search button -> then you can release the button and you should be in fastboot mode.
That's at least how it worked for me. I then flashed new software. Mine can boot to the kernel where it then shows an image and shuts down. No matter what kernel/rom I am trying.

Thanks for your thread.
But I spent hours now, to find a method to reanimate my phone. Still I didnt find a suitable semc package or sin_file_set to flash in s1tool.
In other thread I read a hint that maybe I destroyed my trim area. First of all I made a backup of trim area with backupTA program. The backup is a .zip file or .img file. Is there a possibility to restore my phone?

Maybe there is some help, when I attach the log files of s1tool and the TA-backup
Which s1tool are you using? Have you tried the one from this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52139322&postcount=171

I want to give a big thankyou to the_laser, senior member.
He finally solved my hardbrick problem by creating a emergency file, which I could flash in s1tool. The phone is fully alive now!!
Excellent work!!! Most impressed me however his patience with me as quite Noob. Thank you.
Some guidance would be appreciated

Hi there,
I believe I hard bricked my phone as well (screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash).
However when connecting to the S1 tool Emma from Sony it detects the phone (see below screen shot) and says the bootloader wasn't unlocked. I am pretty sure I have done this. (It is my first attempt to install a custom ROM).
The S1tool in the description below seems not to recognize the device.
After ploughing through some threads and reading about opening the device looking for test points I thought your thread here seems to be more fit for purpose.
I used EasyRootTool and LockedDualRecovery. I also created a back up file with Backup-TA before bricking it. I got this on my other machine and can attach this if needed tomorrow.
Some help and guidance would be very much appreciated.

Another point: in flashtool you can also unlock and lock the bootloader BLU button). (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597) (http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/46-sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081) (Type in phone *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info => Configuration. If bootloader is unlocked it will say: "Bootloader unlocked: Yes". If it says something else like "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", it means the bootloader is locked.). So you can check, if your bootloader is really unlocked

I dont believe, that your phone is ahrdbricked. It seems to be a soft brick: screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash.
So, you can boot in flashmode. Use flashtool (latest version 9.18), its a powerful tool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952) (http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/0...allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/) (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php) If you have installed flashtool, change to the flashtool folder (C:\flashtool), then drivers, execute the .exe and choose the drivers (fastboot, flashmode and for phone model), then run flashtool. In the links above you can see how to use it. Just boot your phone in flashmode (volume down and usb connecting, run flashtool, click the flash button, choose flashmode and choose a stock rom (which you must download before and copy as .ftf file in the folder firmware in flashtool folder, or type the button device, checkdevice updates, choose your device and download a appropriate stock rom ), then reboot, root yout device again with easyroottool or newroot, reboot in recovery and flash a custom rom. I think it should be possible.

Hi! Did you have any luck?
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?

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.
