My Xperia M C1905 was encrypted when i tried to power it on.i've never encrypted it.
I tried to flash stock firmware via flashtool,but always got kernel.sin error.
All drivers are installed correctly.
USB debugging is off at the moment.
Anyone can help?
That's a sign of a broken NAND memory chip. Contact Sony repair centre as it should be covered under your 2 year warranty.

The NAND chip needs replacing, so unless you can get your hands on a NON-BLACKLISTED (non-stolen, can still be used on mobile networks) motherboard your best bet is sending it to Sony. But as I said, it should be covered under your 2 year warranty.

There is no such way, warranty is determined on site by service center guys.
Even they can't check anything using IMEI. They check water indicators, and the phone's bill that's it.
And these SC guys no matter with what type of problem you go in , flash a stock firmware from emma. So if your bootloader is unlocked, emma will detect it.
So the point is, if you are within the warranty period and you didn't modify the software ( unlocking bootloader for example, ) and you have the bill, You can fully claim a warranty for your phone.
I installed EZ-Unlock 1.2 on my phone then proceeded to unlock the bootloader.. everything worked fine.. said it worked.. so I restarted my phone and it did not restart.. the phone will not turn on at all.. no hard reset.. no download mode.. nothing.. when I connect it to my pc it doesn't do the usual connect sound now its 3 short ding sounds (bassier sound)
any help would be appreciated..
thanks in advance
The bootloader should already be unlocked on the gs3 except Verizon. No need for this tool. You might have a brick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I forgot to mention that the phone does nothing... No Let's even when plugged into a charger... Even if it was bricked shouldn't it do something.. Could the battery have died?
QHSUSB_DLOAD when connected to computer
No, if it's bricked its just that. A brick. It does the exact same thing as a brick. Nothing. You need jtag repair to have a functioning device again.
Considering it is hard bricked will my service provider Honour the warranty?

That would be considered warranty fraud. You need to pay someone for jtag service to revive your phone
No. You voided your warranty when you tried to unlock the unlocked bootloader.

I just did the exact same thing! Will a JTAG bring it back to proper working order, the same way as it was before, or should I just buy a new phone?

Yes JTAG will work fine or at least should. I haven't seen a case yet that JTAG didn't work
Sent from my SGH-i317 Note 2 on Tapatalk 2 - running on Beanstalk powered goodness!!
Provided there is no hardware damage, jtag will fix a brick that was caused by software incompatibility.
Any other way
Is there any other way besides JTAG because I don't want to spend money to repair this. I hard bricked my s3 after trying EZ-unlock on 4.4.2 my screen won't even turn on.
thats because the S3 comes with unlocked bootloader. look thru the debrick thread and might find a method there. good luck.
here you go..

Hi all
I need to send my ZL to the Sony repair centre, as it has a serious fault.
I have a rooted phone, with an unlocked bootloader and am currently running CM10.2. Can anyone tell me how to relock? To do that, I need stock firmware, but I don't know how to flash it as I've seen warnings that I can't flash this while unlocked. The official Sony software doesn't let me update, as it recognises I'm running "modified software."
I've downloaded the latest flashtool, but that's it so far. All help appreciated and yes, I have looked but couldn't find anything that wasn't conflicting information.
Thanks guys.

After flashing the .ftf you can also use flashtool to relock your BL.
If you're in EU, you can send your device to service center even if you previously unlocked the BL.
According to European Union law, Sony has to prove that your problem occured as a result of the unlocked BL..
And even if you're not in EU, just try and send it in. Depending on the problem, they often don't check BL and DRM status..

MY PHONE IS FIXED! It took a couple of weeks, but the repair centre did a great job.
My phone is working and I love my ZL again. Thank you Sony repair!
Hello,
My question to you is, if i'm repairing my phone with sony pc companion , will root capabilities dissapear?
Because i whant to send my phone to service and i'm worried that if i have root the warranty will be denied.
Or can you help me with another option to unroot and make the phone be at factory settings.
Thank you very much.

are your phone still can boot up? i mean not in brick condition?
if your phone still can boot up, you can flash your phone with stock ftf firmware file with flashtool software and do full wipe data before install. and you can service it safely and no worrie with root warranty
The phone is fully functional, the only problem is my micro usb charging slot wich is not working proprely, and that's why i need to send it to service.
I'm kind of reserved to flash anithing because i'm worried not to break something.
But by doing a repair phone from sony pc companion is not the same thing with flashing the stock ftf with flashtool?

it's the same, I belive that as long as you haven't unlocked your bootloader it'll be fine but how do you want to flash it when your usb is broken?
I have a locked bootloader so i think i'm good.
It's not quite broken.
It's not charging fast enough , and sometimes it stops charging.
I'm hoping that it's not gonna affect the repair process.
What do you think?

I have the same issue, it's not usb fault, there is something wrong with motherboard. It's preatty common problem but I saw case where repair shop told guy to buy new battery and charger, he did it and it didn't helped, then he send it again to repair and they changed his motherboard
well I send my one to service and if they won't fix it i'll put it into trash. This phone makes me angry, hopefully I bought new moto e.
I have an XA2 that does not like sdcards. I have tried 3 different ones and get the command volume partition error. All 3 cards check out fine on pc and work in my other phones. Did the formatting on pc and all other supposed "fixes" that I could find out there. One trick that made a difference was placing tape on the tray to push the card closer to the pins. That made it to where the phone didn't see the card at all. One piece of scotch tape. So I'm guessing from this that there is a problem with the pins? I've looked at youtube video of the disassembly of this phone and doesn't look any harder or easier than others. So.... any thoughts? I thought at first it was software, but did a software repair and that didn't change anything. Anybody else have this issue and what did you do if anything? Be nice to have more than 32g of storage. I can use otg storage but that's cumbersome as opposed to having it internal.

Hi
If you have already tried to format the SD, and it seems like as if there is a problem with the pins, so don't disassemble the phone and use your warranty to give the phone back to Sony. If you will try to disassemble the phone, you will 99% lose your warranty.

Thanks, but I bought the phone used and I doubt it's still under warranty. Bootloader is unlocked and rooted too.

How did you repair software with unlocked bootloader?
If I were you, I would try to COMPLETELY put the phone back to stock (locked + unroot) and hope that Sony won't give you problems...
If you start disassembling the phone there may be many problems because you aren't an expert, so I would take the risk to pay (in Italy there is a 15€ ticket in case you are out of warranty for some reasons but you have already sent the phone to the repair service)
Repaired it with EMMA. Bootloader cannot be re-locked.

Yeah you can. Firstly install ADB and fastboot drivers. Then connect the phone and type:
adb reboot bootloader
On reboot completed execute:
fastboot oem lock
Or, if it doesn't work:
fastboot flashing lock
Or, if it doesn't work:
fastboot oem relock
Then:
fastboot reboot
Then repair software with Sony PC companion
Done:highfive:
From the Sony site:
If I change my mind later on, is there any way to restore my device?
No. Once you have unlocked the boot loader, you will not be able to revert the device back to a locked or original state or restore the DRM security keys. You can however use the Flash tool for Xperia™ devices to flash a generic Sony ROM, although it will not receive automatic software upgrades.

I know what there is written, and yes, you can't restore DRM but I have relocked bootloader twice on my previous device.
Right, that's what the quote I posted said.
Mute point anyways. Not returning to Sony. Just looking for others who may have had this issue and if indeed it is the reader or a firmware issue and what, including tearing phone apart, did people do to resolve it.
