Hi All,
If you have some experiences with some situation like this, pls give some advices.
I have my Zl, upgraded to 5.1.1 (10.7.A.0.222) , it work fine for some week, then usually shutdown suddenly, 5.1.1 upgraded from 5.0.2 with rooted, installed xposed and some modules (but not unlocked bootloader) .
After some random hanging and rebooting, i try to flash brand-new from ftf file .
and BTW, i unlocked bootloader, after flash new ftf, system cannot boot up, only show up the Sony logo, then down, after that fastboot and flash older ftf ones normally , event i try to relock bootloader.
while unlocked bootloader, i try to install CM ROM, flash boot.img one but still not up.
While connect the charger, logo sony blink for every 10s (estimation) .
I consider the TA partition affected to booting processs. (i have backuped TA but still don't know how to restore via fastboot/flashtool)
Thank and appricated for reading till this point.
Hope you can give me and someone who encounter this situation some wise advices , i will report each try
This is more clear explanation (just read this ):
My case:
1./ first version is 4.4.2, then i try to flash to 5.02 via flashtool (as i remembered i flash ftf version for Generic US)
2./ Then root/install xpose .... and update to OTA (failed), success with updating via Sony Companion, after that, backup TA.
3./ using normally for some weeks, then occur suddenly hang, reboot, lose signal, i commit to flash a brandnew one
4./ After that i unlockbootloader via sony site, Flash 5.1.1 (10.7.A.222 but customized os)
5./ Try some solutions:
5.1/ (unlocked bootloader)Try to flash some other custom kernel (ex: CM12 kernel, one in this dev subforum) but the symptom as case 5.2 below
5.2 try to relockbootloader install the 5.1.1 Generic US/Customized US still doesn't boot up,
- Unplug charger, press and hold power butter, red light blink for 3 times (although connected to charger all night)
- Connect to charger, not show up the charging progress bar, just blink Sony - Xperia around every 10 s
Still consider to battery issue , hope to hear any experienced/wise advises

Now my ZL still bootloop like this (when connected to charger)
Did you try it. Emma will tell you if your Phone was not supported .Well If not, I was not able to help you. Sorry ?
Gesendet von meinem C6503 mit Tapatalk
I really need your help guys. My ZL got updated yesterday, and then a random reboot. After trying to repair it, it keeps getting into Flashmode direcly.
It does not boot into system, but flashmode. Tried to repair again with PCC, no luck. I don´t know booting process to figure out and get out of bootloop. I can access fastboot, flashmode, TWRP, with UB. I flashed ROM a couple times via TWRP, but no luck again.
I think something is messed up with partitions or something.
HELP.

Hello,
my XPERIA Play is broken and I don't knwo how to fix it.
I've first unlocked the bootloader and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it.
But the vibration doesn't have any function and so i flashed with flashtool the stock firmware witch I found in this forum. After that I've started OTA Updater and my phone shutted down. Now it won't start anymore, it vibrates shortly and if you hold the power button longer, it vibrates in dinstances.
When I connect the XPERIA with my computer (Windows 7) the green lights shining and my pc says that it's in flash mode. I can't change to Fastboot Mode.
I've flashed more than once firmwares on the phone, everything I've done couldn't fixe it..
Can anybody help me?

Well you can't get OTA updates when your bootloader is unlocked.Unfortunately I can't help much about the problems with the flash mode since I've never encountered such a problem.So sorry about that.
EDIT:When you try to update Via OTA your phone would surely get bricked because once your bootloader's unlocked SE doesn't consider your phone as warranted and certificates within the phone gets wiped because that would enable flashing 3rd party firmwares and kernels.
Sorry if I'm making this complicated.

I've relocked the bootloader, that wasn't the problem.
I could fix it with flashtool, I only had to flash the bootloader form the developer section and now everything works fine. I can also update with SEUS again (tested from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5)

Hello,
I'm using Arconium rom when i tryed to install the CM9 to test, well i just flashed with fastboot the new img from FX and install the rom. The instalation started but returned an error that i don't remember something about lt8i (my phone is lt5i).

Wrong Section
wrong section
1) hold the power + volume down for like 15 secs...(untill you feel a vibrate)
2) download flashtool at http://androxyde.github.com/
-----Install
3) download whatever FTF you want at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345
----move it to C:\Flashtool\firmwares
make sure drivers are installed(find them in C:\Flashtool\drivers
4) Launch Flashtool
5)select the thunderbold
----select the ftf
6)insert the micro usb end into phone (leaving the regular usb out of computer)
----it will tell you some instructions on how to flash but they are for different xperia phone
7) while holding the volume down button while the phone is off (From step 1)
insert REGULAR usb into computer
it should say flashing, or your comp might say installing driver, or it might just say drivers not installed..
ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL LT28H FTF--------------repeat this step but now install the file from (FOR LTE)

If it is an AT&T phone do you really want to update to LT28h?
why not install lt28h
all you have to do is just flash the extra ftf
and then just change the APN
which i as well as spectre have posted

No reason to use the LT28h anymore since the LT28i and LT28at both have ICS and root.
In hope that someone's still looking at this thread, here is my situation: I tried flashing a prerooted image via fastboot and landed in a Sony bootloop. Then somehow I was stuck in fastboot-mode (led: static blue) and let the phone drain its battery. Now I'm able to get into flashmode but when flashing the chinese FTF with the Flashtool it stops at 1% with status "Processing .......sin" (sorry don't know the file exactly).
When I'm trying to power it up now the Sony logo comes up followed by an exclamation mark in a triangle... could you tell me what options there are left? I saw these prerooted images (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906), but there is none for the Ion, so I don't know what could be the next step. If I just had back my normal system... I used to flash my Galaxy S many times so I'm not that unexperienced, but it seems I really have a problem here:crying:
Any help is appreciated!

What model are you working with? And where did you get this prerooted image (the one you tried to flash)? From the link you posted I don't see one for the ion. Anyway, based on my own soft brick experience, you'll prolly need to let the phone battery drain, then charge (process can take a day or so), then try and flash your stock FTF via Flashtool.

If still no luck, like spectre51 said use repair option in pc companion.

Thx for your hints! It is kinda frustrating to wait until it is fully loaded, then try flashing, then load and wait again... but the 1%-bug seemed to be a major bug as it is fixed now in the new version 0.9.8 of the flashtool.IGonna tray again tomorrow and report my status. I already checked popfan's thread to get a point if mydevice really is bricked or not. So again thanks to all of you!
Just out of curiosity: is there a possibility to flash a prerooted ftf-file? I live in Switzerland where I bought the lt28h version. And I haven't found a prerooted. img file for flashing via fastboot. Just want to root it, custom roms etc. later
Alright, I was able to flash the chinese FTF and got my phone back working:laugh:
But I had to install the newest version 0.9.8 of the flashtool to not get the 1%-bug again. After this roooting via bin4ry's script worked well and now I'm happy happy happy. Thank you all!
I also had problems with flashtool 9.7. I used 9.0 with no problems. Didn't know about 9.8.

as the OP of this thread, thought i'd update. After reading a few threads i discovered the power/volume button trick. tried volume down with no luck, but power and volume up worked. PC Companion did not work in upgrading the phone. just kept telling me to disconnect my battery, and that if the batter cannot be disconnected to skip that step. But it wouldn't go to the next step. So I tried SUS. Worked perfectly.
So, My phone is running lt28h and my wife is on lt28at. There are some differences in the way data is downloaded. looking at my AT&T bill, the data downloads, i assume for apps that get updated, seem to be different sources. also my phone has significantly larger downloads even though we have similar apps. I do have a couple of weather apps she doesn't have that might be responsible for that.
I'd like to do some additional comparisons, but think i'll be flashing the AT&T rom on my phone soon.
a friend has this phone, his children were playing games on the phone and suddenly the phone rebooted and since then the phone is stuck. It boots in to Sony and then Xperia, then a long vibration and back to loop of Sony logo.
It's not rooted, running on 4.04 stock, locked bootloader, and it's not even getting into recovery mode. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Dis you try, "Sony Companion" or Flashtools" ?
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
Thanks..
Not yet. I just got the phone and have tried getting into recovery.
I shall try the PC workout later in the evening after reaching home.
What do you suggest?
A reinstall of Rom via companion or flash tools?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
First try PC Companion... and i was thinking... if it's not rooted how could you go into recovery mode.... i think it's impossible if you are not root...
So when the last rom will be installed by Pc Compagnion... Root it (flashtools and/or doomlord's method), install a recovery (like X-parts an app on market) and and like that you can do what you want with it...
Tell us if it works...
/////
Oh i see you have habs with samsung's or htc's phone... They have a recovery without root but not the sony's one...
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
I just have one query...
How will flash tools or companion work when the device does not settles down, as it's in bootloop, from Sony logo to xperia logo, then a short vibration and sometimes a long one and screen goes blank and then Sony logo, and xperia logo, it's going on and on.
Please enlighten.
Thanks.

He was wrong when he said PC Companion, you need to use SEUS, Sony Ericsson Update Service.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
You can use SEUS if it works yet but i'm not sure....
BUT you also can use PC COMPANION which works....
No need to turn on the phone, do you know "the flashmode" it's a basic.... so you can follow my tuto on my signature...
AND please follow exactly the steps before posting it doesn't work...
You can also try FLASHTOOLS...
phone back to life.. PC Companion worked in first shot..
thanks a million.

Keep your mobile for charging for some time and then reboot,I think it's the battery bug that's preventing the boot..you may have ignored low battery level (below.20%) which may have caused the phone to switch off..

If seus doesn't recognize your device then Download ftf (firmware file) specific to your device and region (search for it in android development) then flash the firmware using latest version of flashtool(really easy and only takes little time)...also remember to check only appslog while flashing and unchecking others(cache,etc),this will flash the firmware without loosing any data and will surely get u rid of the bootloops..for more help this page will help you to flash the firmware properly....( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250)
