hi,
any help is hugely appreciated.
I wiped my phone in recovery with the option to wipe for new custom rom, this worked fine. when i went to install custom rom it failed and then turned itself off. now the phone just gets stuck at the Sony logo. the only way i can turn it off is via the red button in the sim slot.
I am unable to connect to the computer at all, no fastboot. I'm also unable to boot into recovery to restore.
Please help. Hope i haven't ****ed it up beyond fixing
Thanks
Flash a stock ftf with flashtool (in flashmode). You should definitely get into flashmode and fastboot, otherwise there is a problem with your computer.
Funny, I didn't even know there was a red button Holding Volume Up + Power for a few seconds always worked for me, no matter in which state the phone was.
Hi all,
I've exactely the same problem !!!
My phone stuck to Sony logo, and not reconyze on my 3 PC.... before that, usb connexion work fine on all PC, but now.... nothing
I've just POWER + and VOL+ (its power off the phone), i've no led color light
I've try flashboot, but not detect my phone
i've try to install :
flashtool-0.9.16.1-windows (not detected)
Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318 (my computer doesnt not see my phone)
Xperia_Z1_Compact_driver (my computer doesnt not see my phone too)
I can't go into Flashmode...
When i power off my Z1c, and i plug usb + (vol+) nothing appear...stuck Sony logo...
I'm lost... I need your help XDA members ! just U can help me
PS : the red button is in the SIM slot, but i think is same POWER + (VOL+).... its power off the phone
Because you're doing it wrong. Vol+ enters fastboot mode, you have to press Vol- to enter flashmode. Then use Flashtool to restore the firmware.

Story:
Just received Sony Smartwatch 3 and decided to oem unlock for future so once root available I would not need to reset device.
Enabled adb
manually specified correct drivers in device manager
rebooted to bootloader using adb reboot bootloader
entered fastboot oem unlock twice and watch rebooted
but got stuck on boot for whatever reason.
I tried all the methods to get into fastboot (Swiping diagonal as on LG watch, and together with power button as on samsung ) to no avail.
The only other mode I was able to get into - s1 flash device w/o drivers.
Found Sony Emma software to work with unlocked Xperia, and after its installation it said that bootloader is locked and I need to either update from sony site or unlock bootloader first!
Installed Sony PC Companion software, but software update while listing smartwatch 3 said that there is no firmware for it.
After googling random forums on bootlooping sony xperias found that to reset device you need to click "repair my phone/tablet" in Phone/Tablet Software Update section

Guide to unbrick bootlooping SWR50 that is able to get into s1 bootloader/flash mode:
1. Power off device by holding power key until it reboots and then switches off with few vibrations
2. Connect to computer and check device manager - you should see unknown device
3. Install Sony PC Companion from this website http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/pc-companion/
Check if driver appeared in the Device Manager, e.g. unknown device will disappear and something like SEFLash will appear under usb controllers
If driver is still not found - try to install Emma (http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/) and get this driver to work
4. Go into PC Companion and click on "Support Zone", it will be downloaded
5. Then click on "Accessories software update" and try to update Smartwatch 3 (We might get new versions in the future, so it will be easiest to do so)
UPDATE: Now you can reflash from Accessories page, it will ask if you want to refrlash. Keeping steps bellow for information purposes.
6. If #5 not working:
Click on "Phone/Tablet Software Update" (yes, silly), click on "repair my phone/tablet", click Continue and Agree to all licenses, etc....
7. Once presented by the list of phones - Select anything I guess, but I selected Xperia Z2, it should start downloading and then updating.
8. Once done it will say build number watch was flashed, in my case it was KNX01V
9. Disconnect watch and boot it.
P.S. I guess they show phone selection just to provide instructions how to get into download mode and then flash based on the versions from bootloader.
P.P.S I'm glad I tried this last resort thing after being ready to deal with verizon support and waiting for new watch...
I've found that formatting cache and userdata partition like it says in the link below makes the device boot as expected:
source.android.com -> /source/building-devices.html#unlocking-the-bootloader
(sorry for faulty link, new user)
Good to know, I decided to wait a bit as I was eager to play with new toy.
Will unlock tomorrow if it is still locked after Sony reset.
And looks like I would have to write my own apps to test GPS and sensors performance.
And the good news is fastboot state unlocked after stock reflash.

Can you please elaborate on which driver you used to get access to the Smartwatch 3 via ADB? I am trying to use the latest google USB driver, but the device is showing up as offline listed under "adb devices". Just tried the latest ADB v1.0.32 and it seems the watch shows up as "unauthorized". Did you see an ADB notification on the watch that you had to accept, because I am not seeing anything like that.
NVM, it started working after I restarted adb server like 25 times...
Device offline usually is not about driver. But I hit on device and manually picked google-adb composite device
OK, bricked watch today with corrupted /system and boot process hanged with non responsive power button. Had to wait for discharge and it was pita to get into flashmode with enough juice, because after black screen charging it boots instead of going into kernel charging.
Anyway it is up and running and has ROOT now!
Will upload files and create guide as soon as I will be with good internet.
See my sig!

Well, there are different levels of bootloaders
At least Sony s1 flash, fastboot, kernel...
To flash with PC companion you need to boot into s1 by powering off and then hold power and connect to USB once sony logo shown (you should see black screen with backlight on). Make sure you sit on PC companion update screen and that watch had enough juice.
With charging there are different levels of charging:
1. Battery dead
2. Boot loader charging (about 4 min from USB port) with black screen
3. Kernel charging either offline (if you powered off before) or boot and operational charging.
When #2 charges it will boot kernel and if kernel or system is broken it might hang and discharge.
But you can force into s1 flash mode before it boots into kernel. Or if you lucky you could power on and power off before it boots and hang.
In my case I had not enough juice to flash it and watch didn't react to button in kernel mode, so I had to wait for discharge, then plugged into USB and start timer, figured it boots after ~3min 55sec. So I opened PC companion update screen, waited 3:53 and disconnected watch, then hold power button and connect to PC after 5 sec and was able to flash.
To power off - just hold power button until it reboots and continue holding until it vibrates 3 times.
Good luck

This method is windows only. Is there no cross-platform way to do it?
I did the stupid thing.. and ended up with a softbricked phone.
Sony PC Companion did the trick for me!
I tried doing it through VMWare on my macbook, but didn't seem to work at all.
On windows it was plug'n'Pray
Sony companion will not let me restore my SW50. Detects it and tells me that the software is updated. If I try from the menu to repair phone, it makes me accept all agreements and finally tells me the same thing no updates.
Is in bootloop and do not start after open bootloader
My sw3 is in bootloop.I uesd your guide but still can't repair my watch. I tried many time to use pc companion but always got the same wrong message,wrong code(100) which couldn't connect to the Internet.

Yes!, follow these instructions and you can enter in fastboot or recovery and flash a new firmware:
Detach any USB cable connected to the watch
Turn it off holding the power button and keep holding the button until the watch vibrates three times and then switches it off
Press the power button and keep holding. A blue screen that prompts to insert an USB cable will display
Double tap the power button
A black menu will display, with on-screen instructions
Move to Fastboot or Recovery Mode pressing the power button, once a time
Select Fastboot (or Recovery) by double pressing the power button
Good luck bro.

The phone is in bootlopp (i think).When i turn on appears android on groundb with the red triangle and a chinese word.This disappears and appears again,for an infinite time.Display stays turned on.Turning on in bootloader it works,but just in bootloader.If i try to enter in "Restart bootloader,"recovery,"normal boot"ecc it's in bootloop again.So i can access only bootloader at the moment.I want to reflash system,droidboot imgs ecc with fastboot but...tried to recognize phone on an old HP Compaq nx6110 with usb 2.0 and win7.installed on it adb drivers,adb and fast-tools.don't think zenf2 drivers are important at the moment,now should consider just the adb drivers cause i can access only bootloader.however i think zenf2 drivers are installed on it.nothing.phone no recognized by fastboot and no recognized by windows.consider that on a xp and 2.0 usb pc (with fastboot,adb,and adb drivers on it) phone is recognized by windows as Android-Phone but then windows says i've not the drivers for the installation (appears the drivers' choosing window).No asus driver on it,on the win7 pc there are!!

When you see the dead android with red triangle, hold the power button and keep pressing it and quickly
press volume up button and release it but keep the power button and you will see the Recovery options.
Then choose "format Cache" with volume up & down button and enter with power button to format cache partition.
It would take a long time so don't be alarmed. When done, choose restart system and the boot loop should be fixed.
Good luck.

Didn't work for me ... if I keep pressed the power button for a long time, power off the phone and it doesn't entry in Recovery mode...
I resolved with "fastboot erase cache" command
It is normal to get that error when selecting 'recovery mode'
The next step is a little tricky. You have to press and hold the power button, then press the volume up button. It may take a few tries. Both buttons will have to be pressed together simultaneous to enter Android system recovery. Please also see http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011956/

Hi,
I´m having a problem with mine. Can´t recognize phone in fastboot but it´s different. I already asked for help in general thread - all resources (page 47 to 50) but still can´t solve.
I rooted my device using method 3 (one click root) and first everything seems fine, but on my first reboot i entered on bootloader - recovery and started a wipe cache, but didn´t finished it, push power button and force it of (i seemeed stuck there - was wipping for more than 10 minutes). Since then i can´t solve anything, tried many ways to unbrick my phone but i seem the problem was i can´t connect fastboot. After a lot o tries, i entered in TWRP using method 2 and wipe, made a recovery, everything and as magic i can enter again on recovery, even tried adb sideload (it started, but when starts to write something - at 50% of the process just ended). So, long story short, i did a flash of the original firmware i downloaded from asus website using method 2 and now it´s working as original, but i still having the same problem (or maybe worst, since i can´t enter the TWRP recovery using method 2 anymore) and can´t root my device. When i tried to do anything using fastboot it´s just shows "FAILED", When i request adb devices shows a blank line. If my phone is on, using android, it shows the correct serial number.
I don´t know what´s happening, it seems to estabilsh a connection (when on its ok, method 2 freeze on teamwin logo - the tool can write something on phone) but can´t write anything. i´m worried because i think i won´t be able to do any update and i wanted a rooted phone to.
Anyone seems a solution?
I'm having the same problem today and I solved it just now! I can't even open the fastboot and recovery. Finally I install the software "shuame"(I'm Chinese, you guys may find other software) on my PC, and with it my computer read zenfone2, and I use the function in the software to open fastboot mode, then I flash the WW version recovery.img and boot.img with a one-click tool in zentalk(TW), then I just double wipe, the phone is alive now !

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.

I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:
Fix - Recovery Mode

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
Greetings,im Akmal and today I will be sharing some helpful solution to unbrick your Oppo Find 7/7A.Short Story(myb a lil bit longer)¬
So my find 7A got soft bricked when I install custom rom without using TWRP(pretty stupid to do so)
After rebooting my phone keeps on booting to fastboot mode and no matter it happen the same if i press vol up/vol down and power button.
At this stage I knew my phone is soft bricked.So I found the solution to it through some old posts which you have to extract the ColorOS blablabla and adb thingy(I dont wanna go through it here)
But I dont realised that i forget to flash a file name "TZ.MBN"
Now that my phone wont ever boot or even to fastboot which resulted to hard brick.
No recovery screen.
No Charging status screen
No Fastboot screen
No sign of vibrating when i push the power button
-So here is the solution-
Disclaimer-I am not responsible for what ever happen to your device after this-
-there are already some other posts like this but I make this post to let you know that its still working.
1a)First,download the OPPO UNBRICK TOOL HERE
bit.ly/OPPOUNBRICK
1b)goto Google and search for Qualcomm qd loader.download,install and restart your pc.
2)After restarting,Extract the file from OPPO UNBRICK TOOL and open "Msm8974DownloadTool.exe"
3)as you may have notice,its chinese language or some aliens language but dont worry it isn't corrupted,just follow through↓
4)disconnect your device battery,then open the software and press start,after that connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button
5)please wait patiently as it is reflashing stock rom to your device.
6)as you may have noticed maybe your device disconnected but DONT GET PANICKED! press again the power button until its downloading again on the software.
7)If it has done downloading,some row should be in a Green colour.
8)disconnect your cable and try turning on your device again.
That's it!Any comment or curiosity I will try helping you through the comment section but I not guaranteed everything I can answer
P/S:if your device is softbricked,you just should disconnect your battery,and then open the software and press start,then connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button.
If your device is hard bricked(like mine)only holding the power button could work as well
*UPDATE* 24/2/2019
-If you guys still have any concerns kindly contact me through twitter (0728mal)
*UPDATE* 4/7/2020
-yes it is still working guys,no worries kayy
-no you don't need internet for it to work,the software already has all the files needed to flash the device,which is why the file is pretty big.
best regards,
Akmal

hi im having this problem as well. my find 7a is hard bricked after i flash coloros v2.1.5i without twrp. the problem is, my computer does not detect my phone at all even after i hard reset and hold power button for 30 seconds. i dont think the battery is drained because before this happened, my phones battery was about 90% and i try recharging the phone for 30 minutes, and nothing happened. so the debrick tool cannot be used. can you suggest anything for my problem?
Got excited when I read this post! Is there an Oppo Unbrick tool for Mac? I don't have a Windows machine so I can't run the .exe file... Is there an equivalent for those of us not on Windows? Thank you

On Mac's OS, you can always install Windows on its proprietary virtual machine and get the process going that way.

yeah you can try WINE also but i never have any experience with mac os before so i cant guarantee that it will work considering that you're configuring your drivers,which can go wrong if not done correctly
So I have bricked my phone (X9006) while trying to install TWRP recovery. It is stuck on logo and adb/ fastboot does not recognise it anymore. I have tried the above-mentioned tool, but this program also does not do anything for a long time. Am I missing something in applying this solution?
Edit: I am an Windows 10 and I might not have the Qualcomm drivers installed. I don't know how to install

Hello there.have you tried downloading the "Qualcomm"
Driver software on your PC?
is it necessary to remove the battery? I don't have tools for opening my phone and it's battery is non-removable
Perhaps an important step is missing. The Qualcomm qd loader driver is may not signed. I had to boot into the extended start menu on Windows 10 and disable the driver signature check - point 7 - and could now successfully debrick my find7.
