Hi!
Yesterday I read something about google play shop. I wanted to install some apps, but I didn't meet the requirements. And i found solution. I had to go to system folder and edit build.prop But first i backup this file.
I did it. Then I turned off and turned on my phone. But I still can't install this apps. So I copy backuped file from SD card and paste it to the system folder. Again I turned off my phone, but then it can't be turned on.
I will describe it: when I'm turning on my phone, I see Sony logo, and it changes to black screen. When I wait 5 seconds, I'm seeing this again, and again. I have to remove the battery to stop this.
I think that if I edit this file again and change it value to this value, with which was working, my phone will be working fine.
This file contains info about phone. When i edited this file I change it from M to Z5, from 4.3 to 5.1 and from C1905 to E6653. Now I want to change it again to Z5, 5.1 and E6653. I think it will work.
My question is HOW to change this? And maybe you have other solutions.
I had uplad a stock rom to my phone by flashtool. Flashtool said to unplug cable and turn on my phone. And now I see turning on animation again and again. I turned off and turned on my phone. And i have this same
If you are trying to use flashtool means you got an unlocked bootloader. I recomended google "xperia m ftf" and install again the original ftf via flashtool

Hi guys,
I rooted my device today actually. And did many customising. It was all good until half a hour ago.
I Uploaded my frameware-res.apk and SystemUI.apk to UOT Kitchen. Made Window animation Bounce. Download cooked file, copyed to system. Gave permission and moved to right folders (SystemUI.apk to system/app , framework-res.apk to system/framework) .. Than rebooted and it is still rebooting. It is just keep rebooting it self. I can see "Sony Ericsson" title and boot animation. After boot animation it reboot itself I tried to flash it but it says " Open your phone and Enable USB debugging" but i can't do it What can i do now ? Please someone help
Is there anyway to change files (files in root like framework-res.apk etc.) in Phone without opening it. Or maybe via PC with any program?
I also tried PC Companion it can see the phone connected, but when i try to Update (for restore option). It says Open your phone and connect it to PC.
Please guys someone help me
Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.
Search for SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and repair using that instead (don't need phone to be on for that to work).

Oh thank God !
When phone is not connected. In SE PC Companion's Support Zone, repair your phone button appeared. I clicked it and connected phone to PC in Flashmode. Than it flashed .42 Build Number Firmware. Oh. OMG im so relaxed right now. For a moment, i thought i lost my phone completely
Thank you so much so much for this bro
I wish you all the best.
Best regards.
and try to avoid framework, and any other system file
Yes, it is dangerous. But i don't care bro
This is why i rooted my phone. It feels so good, freedom.
I'm gonna be little more careful now
Thank you
Hey! I wanted to follow this Tutorial -> klick.
After i finished it, some of the Apps on my SD card didn't work anymore. I wanted to do a factory reset. The Problem is, i deleted some of the system apps, i even deleted the home.apk. I couldn't to anything without the home launcher, so i flashed a zip with launcher pro throu recovery. I downloaded root explorer and wanted to copy my backuped /system/app over to my phone, but i think this wasn't a good idea. The system crashed and just many many force closes came up. I closed everything, but the system still wanted to close, so i removed the battery...another bad idea. Now, if i want to turn on my Phone, the boot animation stops and the phone reboots and is doing the same.
I really hope anybody here can help me
It's called a bootloop, and from what you described caused it, it may be unfixable without flashing a fresh rom with flashtool.

Fine, but how can i do this? I've read that i habe to hold power when plugging it in while Flashtool is looking for an device, but the phone is just trying to boot normally
EDIT:
Ok, i have to push the back button... but if i want to Flash, i get this:
10/040/2012 06:40:20 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
10/040/2012 06:40:20 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
10/040/2012 06:40:20 - INFO - Then go to application settings
10/040/2012 06:40:20 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
but i cant do this.
Found a solution! I installed the newest Firmware again with SEUS and everything is working. Thanks, XDA!

Hi vikingator,
I see where you posted this same question in the Xperia J threads and that you actually have an Xperia J (not a Xperia Play). I'm not familiar with Xperia J, so please keep that in mind with the below info I'm going to share...
With that said, I believe you should be able to use Flashtool (the unofficial version by Bin4ry/Androxyde) to flash the stock firmware back to your phone and get it running again. I don't know which stock firmware/ftf file you need, so you will have to do some research to make sure you get the correct one.
Here are some links that might help you:

Good luck!
If its just the Sony Home app deleted you should be able to install another launcher like apex or go launcher from a pc on the play store and as long as the phone is switched on and the internet connection was enabled before it was deleted, it will install on the phone and boot into the launcher. I did this once when decluttering my XP and it sorted it out.
Hello guys,
I am new to Android. So pardon me if my question is silly or vague.
My Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is not switching on. When I press and hold power button it shows Boot screen, then splash screen then as soon as home screen comes, it shows message your device is shutting down.
What could be the issue? And how to solve it?
Apart from this, can I access my device when it is switched off? I want to take backup of images, videos and contact. So that if I restore from PC Companion software, I would be worry free that I have data backup
Thanks.
Sounds like a simple case of the battery being flat. Have you tried charging it overnight?

Battery is 39% charged. I've also tried by charging it for 2-3 hours. But despite having 39% battery it shuts down as soon as home screen displayed.
Sorry, forgot to mention this information earlier.

Is it in stock condition? Have you modded anything, (rooted, custom ROM, removed system apps, etc)?

How can you see battery level? You can access files through adb shell on PC, (terminal), and copy to PC to save them if you have to. If you bought it new, I would contact Sony and see what they'll do. Otherwise, I would save what you can through adb, and try messing with it from there.

When I switch it on it displays home screen for few seconds. On home screen I can see battery level.
Its been more than a year I've bought it. I've in fact contacted Sony service station, they says that it needs to be reset and doing so will wipe out data on internal memory.
I have not used ADB tool earlier. Will look at how to use it and copy data from internal memory from console.
For ADB, will it access internal memory when it is switched off? Because the phone switch on for few seconds only. Will ADB works and allow me to copy data in this circumstances?

I don't know all the technical details, but it might be your best chance at this point. You need to install adb package on your computer, and make sure drivers are installed for your phone. Then open a terminal, and CD to the directory where adb is. Plug your phone in, and wait for any message to finish, (about installing software, etc - if you're using Windows, and it says 'searching Windows update', click on 'skip windows update'). Once it's done, type 'adb devices' to see if it's recognized. If it is, type 'adb shell', and you should get a new command prompt showing that you have access to the phone's files. Just use terminal commands to navigate around and copy files you want. If you're not familiar with it, you'll have some learning to do to figure out how to do it all, but it's not too difficult.
1) We know it's a battery problem.
2) We know that you want to backup your data through ADB.
3) You got to go through all these steps and see what it turns out to be.
Hello
First to mention - Sony Xperia M5 phone is bootloader locked.
Battery changed 3 months ago.
Software - Stock.
Latest build: 0.9.25.0
Current build : Version 0.9.23.1 built on 11-01-2017 15:12:00
Have not yet updated Flashtool, due 0.9.23.1 was suggested for downgrade by some portugese forum and video tutorial i watched.
Update was announced and i had it always on auto update - i saw message on phone while it was charging (battery was 80% or so...
It did performed update, booted up - but charging liht went red. first at glance everything seemed OK and working, but when i started to download some taken pics from phone, there was no connection with comp. Ok , i did went for BT and uploaded pics to comp.
Later i started to investigate , bo matter i did , changing cables , chargers -- no go , still red light.
I tried repair thru Xperia Companion - installs software 30.2.A.2.1-R2E - New stup and all the stuff but no change.
Is it possible - update did crash something in charging cable module inside the phone - there is some kind of chip on that cable?
So im considering downgrade, S1 fastboot driver installed (blue light) , phone gets connected and flashmode driver (Green light) as well gets detected.
Bit of concern for me - due it can't detect phone in data mode (MTP or PTP) - is proceeding with flash "safe".
Flashtool is latest and 30.0.A.1.23_R1A software downloaded to comp.
Now next step would be creating FTF file.
Suggested by tutorials around - need remove (delete) file FWINFO.XML
Done.
Now looking in to update.xml file
There appears to be boot.zip file listed - which is not in extracted file folder , instead of it is folder boot
with serveral boot-related files.
Qestion is will the flashtool pick FCS file automatically and set right order or i have to apply it to folder where extracted files
are and include in ftf creation process?
Just plug your phone in and use the latest version of flashtool then use xperifirm to download the firmware for your exact device model and then it will give you instructions and it will ask if you want to use FSC script and click yes if you click no the flash will abort
