Tried to root z1 compact, it wont turn on now - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
i just tried to root a z1 compact with a guide. (I cant link it since i don't have 10 posts.
I followed the steps and flashed the "C690X_14.4.A.0.108_KernelOnly.ftf "
Now the phone does not tun on anymore.
The phone has KitKat 4.4.4 on it but i am uncertain if i checked if it's Build 14.4.A.0.157.
I tried to find on what to do next myself, but i got lost with all the available information.
Im a total newbie, can someone please guide me through the process of fixing the phone?
edit: I just downloaded and ran Sony pc companion.
When i connect the phone to usb, the led is glowing green.
When i try to connect it with the pc companion, the led is lighting up red and the software tells me it can't connect to the phone.

Did you wipe the phone before flashing 'kernel only'? If so, you have no romantic, just a kernel. Is your blog unlocked? If so, you can use fastboot to get a recovery installed and flash a rom.

I have kind of a hard time following your reply, im a total newbie as i mentioned before.
I went for the flashing after i installed flashtool and its drivers.
The phone has not been modified in any way before this atempt.
I hope this answers your questions.

After panic mode went off i was able to fix it on my own.
Thanks for trying to help.

I just now read my reply and realized it was the curse of auto-correct. Romantic is supposed to be rom and blog is supposed to be bl, (bootloader). Anyway, glad you're OK now... Also, if you use the 'quote' function, then I'll know you posted and reply quicker.

You probably flashed the z1 kernel and not z1c as you figured out for yourself.

[Q] Bootloop after unlocking Bootloader

EDIT: Alright I solved it. I had to install Gordon's Gate. Those were the correct drivers, the ones I had were not. You can get the drivers from Flash Tool, in the drivers folder.
Alright guys of xda, I've spent the last six hours trying to fix this myself but I just can not do it with my knowledge of the Xperia Play. I wanted to ask this in the dev section but you know I can't post there until I post ten times in here. Instead of spamming the forums I'll just ask here.
Starting off, I have an R800i model bought off Ebay brand new. I love the phone, though it has no warranty so if I can't fix this I'm out $410. It was 2.3.3 prior to this mess.
I used this guide to unlock the bootloader. Yes it is confirmed to be unlocked as I tried it again and it said that it was already unlocked. I proceeded to follow step 2 and flashed the play_modded.img to my Xperia Play. After that I unplugged the USB and tried turning the phone on. To my expectations, I was stuck in a bootloop.
I looked around and tried flashing stock ROMS via Flash Tool 3.0 and 2.9.1 Beta. Both said I must go and turn on Debugging through the Android System. The system I don't have on the phone.
I tried to flash stock ROMS with fastboot, though they are ftf files, which I am not familiar with. The prompt said that the files were too big.
Another method I tried was the clockwork recovery mod that is booted from fastboot. I tried recovering a stock NANDROID backup that Logseman posted right here but it freezes at the Sony Ericsson splash screen.
I have downloaded at least two gigs trying to fix this in the last six hours to no avail. So I don't know what to do. I'm sorry for posting this in the wrong section, I just don't have an option and this is my last day off this week. I need to fix it today. I'll be on the forums refreshing this thread for the next twelve hours or until I get the fixed. So I will be here and responding instantly.
Actually, you've posted this in the right section
1) Download Flashtool 0.2.9.1 (you have done it already, I guess). 0.3.0.0 DOESN'T WORK with Xperia Play.
2) Download the 4.0.A.368 FTF file and put it in the "firmwares" folder of the Flashtool folder (if you haven't done so already).
3) Switch off the phone.
4) Fire up Flashtool. Click on "Flash" and choose the 4.0.A386 ROM
5) Obey the on-screen instructions about connecting your phone.
Once it's finished, you don't have to do anything more save booting your phone and using it. Ignore those "switch on USB debugging and Unknown sources".
I tried that and this is what I get.
Then.try.again. There is only one way to use Flashtool, and it's the one I've described.

I've never got any errors with flashtool, although some people don't seem to be able to use it
Trying again and again and again would never have worked. Brute force never does. I looked through the forums outside of the Xperia Play and I found a thread explaining how it was the drivers. I installed Gordon's Gate and it worked flawlessly the first time I tried, just as you described it.
It's not.about.brute force. It's about preparing the computer properly...

Bricked ION.... need help

So, i have update my ion to ICS LT28h, my wife's ion we waited for the official AT&T update. I downloaded PC Companion, connected the phone, started the update process. I did all i was told on every screen. the phone never updated and now does not power on. no lights when plugged in to charge or connect.

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..

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

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.

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.

Problem

Hey guys,
I am facing this prob. for quite some time. Whenever I use flashtool and connect my Xperia Arc in flash mode, the computer hangs without any warning and I jus have to restart it. FlashTool says that drivers for the device is not correctly installed.
Pl. help me with regard to this.
I am presently running CyanogenMod 9 Nightly version.
Flashtool: 0.9.8.0
Awaiting your reply
Epic Fail, Wrong Forum............................................................................................................Reportet.

And please note that here Development Forum
pls post it to right place -____-
Don't be so mean. Have you ever got into despair when having a problem? Have you though that the forum name is not the most relevant one? By the way, where should a question like this be posted?!
TO answer the question... it is not easy so solve. You will need to clean your PC of all possible traces of old drivers. To do that, with the phone disconnected, go to Device Manager on PC (google if you don't know how). Then, remove any possible references to your phone using the information from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff184583.aspx
After that, install Sony PC Sync software. Follow the steps. At the end, it should tell you that you should connect phone.
Everything should work now (your phone will be finally re-discovered).
Before you do that, also try to disable Debugging on the phone and set the PC connection to MTP.
Good Luck!

[Q] xperia ion lt28at Please Help

I have read through the other threads and from what I understand I may have a "soft brick" it also mentioned to ask first before I do anything, so I apologize in advance. I tried to update to JellyBean 2 days ago and had a game that froze I did a hard reset not knowing that it could potentially cause problems, I have done it in the past with no issues. PC companion downloaded the update and I followed the instructions as usual held volume key down plugged the usb in and it initially recognized my device but only for about 3 seconds. Now everytime I plug my phone into the PC it either says "unknown device" or it doesn't do anything other than start charging it. I have tried usb debugging mode switched between MTP and MSC modes all with the same result. Also I was reading the thread for "RECOVER SOFT-brick" and it provided the link for the flash tool and my device was not listed. Thank you in advace for your time and patience.

I am not sure what the update service is that you mentioned, I tried the repair option with pc companion but the computer wont recognize my phone when i plug it in. Tried while it was off held the volume down and plugged the usb in, the device looks like it is doing what it normally would when I am updating but then it just goes to the charge screen. So I assume that is not the repair that you were talking about, unless I am doing something wrong. I don't have the option of bringing it to sony right now because I am working overseas right now. Unless maybe I mailed it in I didn't want to go that route because it is my main source of communication for while I am out here.

Settle down dude, dont do anything drastic. First read up on soft bricks. Now i need to know does your device boot? you dont exactly describe the condition of your phone. If possible try flashing it with flashtool and the latest JB ftf (to enter flash mode on our lt28at ion you connect the phone to the usb cable, hold vol down and connect the usb cable to the pc when flashtool tells you to).

My apologies, yes I believe my phone does boot so far the only issue I can see as of right now is that I cannot connect to my laptop or anyone else's. I have tried holding the volume key down and plugging in the usb numerous times with no luck it only charges when I do this. I have read up on soft bricks and it seems simple enough but I didn't know for sure what the problem is with my device, other users had mentioned that along with usb issues I could have messaging and phone call issues. I have been using wifi and the tango app for communication for the past four months because of where I am located there is no service and also the reason I have not brought it in to a store. But back to flashing the device I have never attempted it on this device or any other so I was a little nervous about permanently bricking it, I looked at one link in another thread that had the latest JB ftf and my device was not listed. Also is there a specific flashtool you recommend? Thank you for your help

That was exactly what I thought initially as well so I did a back up on my computer and installed win7 ultimate after it was installed I made sure all of my drivers were working and up to date, I also tried it out on several other computers just to make sure it was the phone. Also just to be sure my computer was working properly I had one of the other guys here plug his phone into my computer and it came up instantly.
I think I may have misunderstood the fast boot question I thought the question was if the phone would boot from being off.

I followed the instructions from both of the threads, but I keep running into the same problem. My device is not listed among the drivers to install, I scrolled to the right on each one just to make sure it was not part of a group. Before I got this reply I followed the tutorial basically the flashtool for dummies like myself and down loaded the correct firmware for my device. I followed the instructions to run the flashtool selected my firmware started the flash tool, it told me to hold volume down while plugging in the phone just like I would with pc companion and probably 3 secs after plugging it in the only thing that would happen is I would get the usual windows prompt that "the device is not recognized" I thought for sure this was the solution, perhaps I am missing a step? I am officially at a loss now lol I even went to the threads specific to the ion lt28at and it was all quite simple right up until plugging in, any more insight would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the link but that was basically instructions on how to start the flash tool properly it seems, I still can't get the flash tool to recognize it is plugged in. I believe the issue is with the device driver, problem is the ION lt28 is not in the list of drivers. Is there another one that I am supposed to use that is compatible? I thought it had to be specifically for my device, again I appreciate all the help you all are giving me this is becoming a frustrating process for what seems so simple

Try Flashtool-drivers [ do a googole search ] download it and see if you can find the drivers there.
I know this is over a month old, so i'm sure the info is no longer helpful...but this 'driver' issue has plagued Ion owners since the phone released...
in reality...its not a problem...but just 50 members all sort of saying the same thing in different words...
the Lt28 series of devices does NOT need any model specific driver from that install_drivers.exe app in flashtool's directory...You ONLY have to install the flash mode driver (for an Ion with a locked boot loader) or flash mode and fast boot drivers for unlocked bootloaders, if you play on using fastboot with flashtool for various services...
you DO NOT need to install that entire list of drivers for an Ion...they have nothing to do with this series of phone...all other necessary device drivers are automatically installed when setting up PC companion, or simply plugging in the phone (if you skip pc companion)...
any issue with flash tool and it saying 'device drivers not found'...you're missing the flash mode driver...and nothing else...

With what did you try to upgrade and how? It seems your update has gone wrong, as you state, it got terminated in the middle? Probably if you connect through fastboot, or flashtool for windows, you can put in a new kernel and the rom. It seems your phones kernel is broken too. It should be fine once you install a new kernel and rom.
For how to do that please look at one of the tutorials here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
Hope it'll work out for you.
