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.
good luck!

How would I do that? Google only gives me results like TeamXperia roms.

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.

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.

try fastboot....see if the led turns blue..[power + vol up for fastboot]
if it turns blue...its not hard brick...flash kernel..then flash rom
How did you flash it? If you were using PC Companion or SUS, I believe the warranty may cover that.
Otherwise, let's see...
According to Google search, the Qualcomm CPU has a built-in USB download mode, which is the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" that you see. When the device fails to boot it will enter this mode.
Perhaps try to enter flashmode?
Pull out the battery and wait for about a minute or so.
Insert the battery, close the back cover, then hold Volume Down key.
Insert USB cable and wait for the PC to detect it.
If the PC detects it, then flash (again)!
If the PC does not detect it or it detects as "QDLoader" again, perhaps try to pull out the battery and wait longer...
If it keeps entering "QDLoader" then your phone is really hard-bricked. It may still be possible to reflash, but we don't have the drivers and files, so just send it back to warranty, whatever.
* Just by the way, I think you can also enter the "QDLoader" mode by pressing Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn?

Is there anyway at all I can fix this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For everyone with the brick situation, do you have a locked bootloader?
I know one user said they tried the volume down+insert USB cable into the computer, you did try this with PC Companion ready to repair the software?
Sony Update Service restores the bootloader on locked bootloader phones, true? If the stock bootloader is corrupt somehow, SUS could repair it.

Multiple attempts but no success.
Flashed 4.4.3 update and booted system. Realised I has Super User already installed. Uninstalled SU.
Flashed 4.4.2 again and this time easy root rooted the phone.
Flashed 4.4.3 and bingo! SU was installed, updated binaries and phone is now rooted.

thanks for sharing this, it works as I did the most same way except making everything packed greatly as what you have done
the best of this was you made all files in one, extremely good for ones do not have 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 ftf files in hands
I guess most of guys do not want to try flash-power off-flash...
Maybe what you mean is only kernel,not the entire ftf file,right?

At step 4 you only flash the 4.4.2 kernel, (deselect everything else) not the entire .ftf or you'll end up with 4.4.2 on your phone. Similarly, at step 10 you only need to flash the 4.4.3 kernel, not the entire image.
You forgot to mention that an unlocked bootloader is required to use flashtool.
developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader
Also, if you unlock bootloader you lose warranty so backup TA partition before you proceed to keep warranty.
Well written guide. Success here. Rooted now.

Without unlocking your bootloader you cannot use flashtool, I suppose.

so I open FlashTool(0.9.20.0) and open XperiFirm to download the firmware and wait the firmware download and FTF created successful,I start flash my phone in flashmode.
I remember flashtool ask me "use FSC script",but I select no(I don't know what FSC is used to do,so I select no.).
after while the flashtool process is stuck..and after 30min,I unplug the USB cable and prepare to flash again,but when I connect the phone to computer again,the computer can't Identify my phone,the Flashtool said "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" when I connect to computer..:crying:
and the windows device manager only can recognize my phone in a USB serial device,the VID 0FCE,Pid D1D5.no SOMC FLash Device any more..
the picture in attachments shows what i said.
i just use the phone for one week and the phone have no warranty..:crying:
anyone help please.. @Androxyde
You have bricked you phone as many others did,the lession is u have to read and re-read and do the steps exactly as described,you had to click YES on FSC.As far as i know there is no other way to fix it except sending it to service center.Sorry in the future read carefully the tutorials...

You should have read the instructions...
Flashing the remaining FTF contents with FlashTool
At this stage, your device have the system partition with full root access of the firmware from the FTF you used but still have the kernel, baseband, etc., from the previous firmware you were running on your phone, so, trying to start your device now will probably result in a boot loop. To correct this:
• Open FlashTool again and flash the same FTF you used to extract system.ext4 through flash mode, however, make sure you exclude SYSTEM partition. If you forget to do so, you'll lose root access and you'll need to restart from the beginning.
• Make sure that you're using FlashTool 0.9.20 or newer and answer Yes when it asks if you want to use the .fsc script!Using an older version or not using the provided .fsc script will hard brick your Xperia M5 and only Service Center will be able to repair it.
• After flashing ends, disconnect the USB cable and start your phone. The first boot may take several minutes but if everything went well you should be now running the same firmware from the FTF file you used, with full root access!

Yeah the difference is that M5 just started to be supported by flashtool,in other words it's a new phone and with a little more complex cpu in compare with Z1,i had Xperia Arc never had problems with flashtool but since i bought M5 i'm extra careful 'cause i had mediatek smartphones before and they are pain in the ass when comes to rooting,flashing and others.So you might still look around to try and fix it by yourself,if not try sending it to service center if they ask say it failed during xperia companion update or repair don't say you used flashtool...Good luck

I have the same problem, whether sony service center managed to fix it, what it costs
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

There's no fix. Only Service Center can repair it if you bricked your device by using Flash Tool without the provided .fsc script.
any1 solved this? I have the same problem =(
Only fix is to desolder emmc and reprogram boot sectors using jtag box. That will bring flash mode back. If you have Sony Service Center in your country and your phone is under warranty (you didn't unlock your bootloader), then maybe there is a chance they will repair it without charge.

Someone should make bin and scatter files to be flashed with SP Flash Tool as any other MTK device to be able to flash it from the dead state, at least if it is recognized as COM device. The good start would be if someone can pull the scatter file from a working device and share with others. Now we have ftf file. Maybe there is some way to convert it to bin file.
Convert for me too e5653 m5 single sim problem same pls

I don't know if you know how to flash ftf but try this:
1. start flashtool
2. begin flash ftf file for your M5
3. hold volume down and connect usb cable
4. press power button (hold both volume down + power)
5. when phone vibrates release power button (still hold volume)
or
3*. connect cable before holding volume down
then reset phone
tell me if something happen
*facepalms*
But maybe not cuz unknown devices now

And i will test it with ur idea thz
less talking, more reading. these recommendations are nice but useless if you read all the threads with bricked devices. especially what are the symptoms of a bricked device.
the only thing that i am optimistic to is this scatter file "solution". but if it is working we should find out. would be cool if someone can provide a scatter file for E5603 and/or other variants.
Hi, I have the Xperia XA1 G3123, so I was flashing the latest stock rom for my phone, but I didn't last pressing the vol + button and power, so the flash process stop, but it didn't finish. So when I try again to flash, it didn't turn into flash mode, just the red light.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? (just asking because the PC Companion software could be classed as flashing the rom)

I found a thread, cant find again, but it's there somewhere on XDA threads. You can use flashtool if you disconnect your phone battery after loading flashtool with a 'Xperifirm' download ( whichever model Xperia needed to restore) and then put phone into 'Flashmode' when plug in USB cable at the same time (battery must be disconected, so need to take backplate off!). Then when this is done 'Flashtool' will flash System file onto phone and thus restores phone back to factory. I've bricked my phone to try and works great. Try at own risk, if nothing else works. You will need to replace glue inside backplate once done. Meant to work with all Xperia Models, but I have only worked this fix with Sony Xperia XA1 (G3125):good:

Please help me asap I am in a lot of trouble!
XZ1 Compact dead?
Hi!
Please help me!
My phone not XA1, but Xperia phone.
I installed custom ROM(no SeLinux support) and tested two partitioning programs.
ROEHSOFT PARTITION TOOL
and
ROEHSOFT DRIVE-EXPERT
I did a partition recovery and reboot the phone.
Since then, it doesn't turn on, doesn't charge, no led feedback, can't see the pc, and no fastboot mode, completely dead.
I disassembled, disconnected the battery, but nothing happened.
Died?
What can you do with it even if your PC can't see it?
The two partition programs, in stock rom, did not start, but this rom (selinux is inactive) was ran.
What happened to him being completely dead?
