I've Made a BooBoo :( - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was so excited to buy a Z5 quite cheap from online store (GumTree Australia). Received it and went to turn it on, it was locked to someone's account (not the last owner I assumed). No biggee I thought, so I did a bit of research to find out how to factory reset wipe my phone and find the Sony app 'EMMA'. Booted my phone into that app and it showed that this phone was locked and I couldn't do anything other than visit a couple links it suggested to update my phone or contact Sony to unlock my bootloader. I did all that it suggested waiting on Sony to no reply.
3 months later, I decided to give this phone another go and came looking at XDA. Impatiently wanting to unlock, I found a flashtool on XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/firmware-32-3-0-372-certified-android-7-t3537948 and decided to wing it with this image https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_14958424411279&key=f0a7f91912ae2b52e0700f73990eb321&libId=j36hx1cx01000n4o000DAnhl9jzwv&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fz5-premium%2Fgeneral%2Ffirmware-32-3-0-372-certified-android-7-t3537948&v=1&out=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fdrive%2Ffolders%2F0B9es25_rAF5bbnhPZ2pLQjQyd2M%3Fusp%3Dsharing&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fz5-premium&title=Firmware%20Android%20N%207.0%2032.3.A.2.33%20link%20.ftf%E2%80%A6%20%7C%20Sony%20Xperia%20Z5%20Premium&txt=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fdrive%2Ffolde...2M%3Fusp%3Dsharing.
Long story short, my impatience and winging it after following onscreen instructions from the tool has now made the phone unbootable. Screen turns on but it's all black. I plug my phone in to the computer and it is recognised by EMMA and Windows. But I can't do the recovery boot with volume down.
I just want to put it back to how it was with a simple wipe. Is there a way I can get it back to just "normal" please.
My excitement has now left me with anxiety issues lol. Please help....

Use flashtool and go to XperiFirm and download the full ROM by browsing to the correct phone model and country (Use somewhere like Custom Indonesia, Custom UK, Custom Germany, etc.)
Then simply click flash button, choose the ROM, make some checkbox such that it flashes absolutely everything, and then follow on-screen instruction to do a full flash. Volume Up and Power force turns your phone off, and then plug the USB and press the instructed volume button right away to enter into flash mode, and then things will work on its own.
I would just use XperiFirm to download the ROM image. But do make sure you're downloading the ROM for the correct phone model.

Life saver!! Thank you so much. I've got the phone working now and I understand how XperiFirm works.... sort of.
I'm now stuck on FRP lock where I have to enter the last email used to sync the device. I've tried the instructions from this thread and watched the video and mine doesn't do what is shown on the video to get into the settings to switch users.

I'm gonna keep reading and see if there's another way around. But if anyone is reading this, please feel free to guide me.
Thanking you DarkSilent again.

UPDATE
Found this video and it helped me to bypass FRP.
Thank you once again. I'm very happy now.

[Q] phone wont connect to seus or pc companion

my verizon xperia is not recognized by either pc companion or seus. I am trying to do a hard reset due to the fact the lockscreen doesnt work. I have read that I can press and hold the back and search keys on front while powering on to factory reset the phone, however that does not seem to be the case. Can anyone give me some suggestions if the two button factory reset does work and that maybe I am just doing it wrong. And any suggestions as to how to get my phone to connect with seus so I can reset if teh 2 button trick is indeed not an option. Thank you to all in advance.
Doesnt anyone have an idea? I follow seus instructions. Power off wait 30 seconds, then plug in the usb cord to the pc, then press and hold the back button then inserting the usb cable into the phone... and then I wait for it to connect which it doesnt.
have you tried removing the battery wait a bit and put it back and then try again. I had something similar happen when I first got mine.
yes.... I waited beyond the 30 seconds it suggests. I eve waited about 2 hours once. Still nothing......I really want to get this device working.....it does power up. Everything seems like its supposed to work but it isn't. Thank you for helping me... I really really appreciate it.
hey, if youre comfortable, we can unlock the bootloader on it. if we do that, then you can just use fastboot and the files you can get off of my State of Development thread to return you back to stock. You could also root it. If that interests you, send me a pm with your ESN and Ill get you an unlock code.
Or do you still wanna try to figure out the **** fest that is SEUS?
I would love to unlock the bootloader. I have always had motorola android phones so even though i have never unlocked the bootloader I would love to.
Where would I find the ESN #? I am not able to get past the lock screen....so all I can do it make emergency calls
I have PM'd you my phones info. Thank you for your assistance
What is preventing you from passing the lock screen exactly? Programming?
the phone says that the pattern lock attempts has been exceeded... and the only way to unlock is to enter either a gmail info or answer the question. Neither of which I know.
Ahh! phew i thought it was more serious than that. Were you able to have the phone activated on your Verizon account okay? The esn wasnt blacklisted or anything?
And the funny thing is, even if you HAD got seus working, it would not have fixed that problem. SUES doesnt wipe the device as far as I know.
the *#06# in the emergency dialer doesnt show anything?
also the MEID is under the battery.
I have not activated the phone as I cant really use it in its current state. I did check with Verizon and the phone can be activated no problems.
I do have the MEID #, is it safe to list it here?
Also, the phone does not take the #* code, says its not an emergency number
K, i have successfully unlocked my bootloader on my phone..... I am trying to make sense of what to do next
YAY!!!!!. I unplugged and rebooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader and now my phone is back... I can sign into google now
you should use this command and reflash the stock system
fastboot flash system system.sin -w
this will erase usersettings and reinstall the stock rom.
make sure you have the rom downloaded.
edit- Never mind.

Thats great! totally forgot that actually unlocking the bootloader performs a factory reset. So awesome! Go get you some root!
now that I have it restored, the screens touch sensitivity is all over, it keeps thinking I am trying to load up voice commands. I would like to flash a rooted ROM, and from what I have read on kernals for the r800x theres nothing worth flashing just yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to flash a rooted stock rom?
Also, I am still not able to enter Flash mode with the whole back button while inserting usb cable. the light is still blue.... any suggestions?
You shouls be holding the search key.

i will try the search button instead. Also I flashed a kernal and now the phone is super slow. How do I flash the stock ROM and stock kernal. I am doing some reading but I am still lost. seems like I get routed to xperia arc pages...... can anyone give me some guidance. sorry to be a pain, but I am excited to learn

Hey, everything you need to know is in the many pages (and the initial post which is constantly updated) on my State of Development thread. Read through there and you will see that everyone else is also having problems with the kernels and roms making the phone unresponsively slow. The first post also has links for stock files that you might need.
Basically if you get your phone into fastboot mode (turn off, hold search key, plug in USB line, solid blue light turns on) you can do two commands to get you back to stock, and then follow the rooting instructions that I have on the R800x Rooting thread. Its linked in the state of development thread. Second item, i believe, below the link to Bin4rys.
The two commands would be "fastboot flash system system.sin" and "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin". the first command might not be necessary even, just the kernel one might fix you.

Xperia Play R800at stuck in boot loop (never rooted)

Hi,
This is my brother's phone, and he tells me he went to use it the other day and the phone was off. When he turned it on it would show the "Sony Ericsson" screen, then the AT&T logo and back to the Sony screen, and the loop continues. The only way to make it stop is to remove the battery.
His phone is stock and has never been rooted or unlocked. I tried flashtools but can't use it because the phone has a locked boot loader. I tried to unlock it through the Sony mobile site, but can't because it asks to go to the menu of the phone which I cannot do for obvious reasons to verify if it is unlockable. I tried to do so anyway, but the instructions say that you press the "search" key while connecting it to the computer and a BLUE LED would turn on, this phone turns on Orange. At this point I am stuck and don't have a clue what can be done now.
What I really want is to just get the phone working, it doesn't matter if it goes back to stock or if it will have a custom firmware, just to get it working again.
I appreciate if someone points me to the right direction on what I can do to restore the phone. Any tutorials or instructions related to this specific issue. I have found multiple threads similar to this but all involved previously rooted/unlocked phones. Also, I mostly use Linux so any instructions for Linux users would be great.
Thanks
You don't. Need to unlock it top use flash tool. Download an ftf for the phone. And choose flash mode in flash tool. Then choose the ftf you want to flash. And it will tell you to unplug the phone and plug it back in while holding the back button. A green led should turn on then it should flash the data and reboot and it will be back to stock
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
As above, Flashtool doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. A link to the stock R800at firmwire here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Thanks! This worked perfectly, I mistakenly downloaded what Sony calls "Flashtool" on the Sony mobile site (named "Emma" when installed).
Any idea what could have happened to the phone in the first place to render it unbootable?
Again thanks for your help!
Could be the cache/dalvik partitions messing up. Usually when I get the same problem I just pop into recovery and clear these, but that does require root.
Quite strange for it to happen on a stock, non-rooted device though. Is the device working now?

[Q] Phone probably bricked !

So, I had my full cautious guts. I backed up everything needed and so. I decided I could have some fun customizing my phone and getting a "Custom Rom".
So, I got a TWRP recovery, made a Nandroid backup. Then flashed RR 5.5.6 (After wiping Data/System/Dalvik/Cache), then flashed GAPPS. IT WAS ALL OKAY, until I pressed "reboot". BOOM Phone dies.
Well, if disconnected from PC cable, it only vibrates once when I keep holding power button. But it doesn't even blink LED or show anything up.
If connected to PC cable, it begins "automatically" to blink RED 3 TIMES, then it turns into blue "assuming it's charging" and stays like that, but nothing happens after that. If I keep pressing the power button alone nothing happens, but if I press it with UP volume key "down does nothing", 2 things happen. One: The PC detects a reconnecting of the phone, Two: the same procedure happens again "RED 3 TIMES then Blue". NOTHING SHOWS UP AT ALL.
NOTE: My recovery was installed from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647480
Help please
Also please tell me if this a SOFT or HARD brick? So I can know where to search for help.
UPDATE: Now sometimes my phone instead of blinking 3 times red then blue just gives all LED colors then doesn't do anything.

To get it to power off you hold the volume up and power button until it vibrates three times. It must be off before you can flash boot any recovery.
Download and install Sony PC companion, start the support zone, start Phone/Tablet software update, click on repair my tablet. Follow the instructions. It will ask you to have the phone off then put the USB jack in while holding the volume down. Follow the instruction exactly.
I'm sure that if the lights are flashing then the phone is ok, it just needs the boot sector repairing.
The other way to repair it is with the flashtool, and this is the way forward if you want to get it ready for a custom rom, but there is a lot of reading to do
Did you check that your phone can be unlocked,?
It doesn't sound like you unlocked it, and RR rom is CM based so it was always going to end in tears until you'd unlocked the bootloader.
XperienceD has compiled a great thread on how to here
I nearly made the same mistake. If you come from a Samasung or similar where all you have to do is root the phone and flash, the Sony can be a bit fiddly, there's a whole other process to go through.
Don't panic, it will work again, and don't flame Nuts recovery thread because you didn't read up on how to do it right.

First of all, thank you a lot of comforting me.
I actually read your comment and currently following the PC companion method. About "turning it off" it only worked (gave vibrations) when the phone was connected to PC through cable, otherwise nothing happens. Yes it did give me 3 quick vibrations. I am waiting now for the firmware to be downloaded, let's hope it work.
Yes, sir. I did NOT unlock my bootloader, I was afraid to lose my DRM keys even after backing them up. But it seems I have lost them anyways, lol.
I will give a look about that thread you gave me the link to. Once again thanks for comforting me. I will let you know what happens.
Cheers.

I tried this, and it's not working at all. It shows the "prepare" screen, then I hold the voldown button and connect it, then a window flashes "appears and then disappears for 1 second" as if it's attempting to reconnect. "Check attachments".
SONY PC COMPANION still eats my connection though, the update progress bar has a lot of bugs.
Help ?

My HTC M8 Stuck at ONE Logo once restarted. No Recovery, No DWNLD mode available.

I've seen already this thread suggested by XDA thread locator.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/verizon-htc-one-m8-stuck-htc-logo-t3163088
But I'd try to explain as simple as possible the whole situation which happened hours ago.
Don't know what happened but my mothers phone went off and restarted with htc one logo on it and nothing else later.
Power button itself doesnt work and is not responding.
Configuration PWR + VOL UP gives me restart but no recovery mode, giving me sound effect of restarting phone and ONE logo on it without any other reaction whatsoever.
PWR + VOL DWN zero reaction
PWR + VOL UP & DOWN pressed together restarting the phone and then gives me HTC ONE LOGO and nothing else.
when Phone is plugged in to the computer and I'm forcing the phone to restart it shows me new Device on the computer as a CD Driver every time.
So I think there is still hope to get this guy back to life.
It's running on custom rom but unknown version because it was purchased as a refurb from ebay 2 years ago and it was running just fine utill this very day.
I'm absolutely noob with flashing twrping etc so please ELI5 if possible, any type of help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hey, I had this same problem a couple of days ago. Here's what I did to get the phone into fastboot, from where you can install a recovery, factory reset etc.
1. Hold the power button + vol up button for about 10-20 seconds. This should shut down the phone.
2. Hold the power button + vol down button to restart the phone back into fastboot.
If you can get into fastboot, there are plenty of guides which can help you flash a twrp image. If you want me to give you some instructions on that just reply and let me know. Good luck!
Note that this phone doesn't have download mode (as some other Android devices do); nor is there a button combo to go directly to recovery. But you can almost certainly still get to bootloader, and from there boot recovery. In the current condition, you can get to bootloader by:
1) Hold Power+ vol up (as you have been) to restart the phone.
2) Once the screen goes dark (signaling it is about to reboot) let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down
3) Don't let go of vol down until the bootloader screen appears.
4) If the above sequence fails, its virtually always because the user just didn't get the timing right (either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early). Just repeat steps 1-3 until you get to bootloader.
Once in bootloader, try to reflash the ROM, or restore a TWRP backup (if you have one). Spontaneously stuck on HTC logo screen is often a result of the OS/ROM becoming corrupt or otherwise damaged, and flashing/restoring the ROM will often fix it.
Thanks @redpoint73 I've managed to get to the preinstalled recovery.
Sadly reflashing/factory reset failed few times due corrupted files.
I'm ok with the fact that I lost the data on the phone since most of it was stored on the cloud.
Now I need ROM to flash on the phone thru recovery but I don't know which one would you reccomend.
It's my mom's phone so basically reliabilty and robustness over flashing lights and numerous unnecessary functions.
Version of android doesn't really matter.
Thanks again for help so far.
Can I put the rom I'm about to flash on external SD Card or I have to transfer it thru computer to the phone?
TWRP might be extra helpful or the recovery it's functions are just fine?

I'd need to know more about the phone in order to give any suggestions.
With the phone connected to computer, boot into fastboot mode, and (assuming you have fastboot setup on your computer) do the command: fastboot getvar all
Then post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, what version TWRP (if that is the recovery installed)?

You have what is called the "stock recovery" or official HTC recovery.
You can't flash anything but OTA updates, or other official (HTC) signed zips with this. You need a "custom" recovery like TWRP in order to flash things like custom ROMs. So I'm curious what you meant before when you posted:

What exactly were you trying to "reflash", what were the exact steps, and the results (specific error messages, etc.).
I did the factory reset but it didn't help still stucking at ONE logo like posted initially. So this is basically the situation right now. I was able to get to recovery but nothing else.

Okay, so you're confusing the terms. Factory reset doesn't flash/reflash anything (flash meaning to install some firmware or software to the device). The only thing that factory reset does is wipe user data.
At this point, I'd suggest the best/easiest course of action in the current conditions (stock recovery, locked bootloader) would be to run the RUU intended for your device. Your device is the AT&T version, so the RUU can be found at the bottom of the page (and instructions on how to install): http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
RUU is a complete factory image. You download to a PC (PC required, won't work on Mac or Linux) connect the phone (booted into bootloader-fastboot mode) then just run the RUU, and it will do the rest.
I'm confidant this will get the phone up and running. Your mom may not like all the AT&T branding and apps, if it wasn't there before, and AT&T is not her carrier (one of the main reasons for these devices to have custom ROM - to remove carrier branding). But we can cross that bridge (if need be), after we get the phone working.
Installed Software, downloaded RUU from website provided, turned phone into fastboot before installing RUU.
Something started happening with the phone during installation but installation itself cant be finished, it's an endless process of update, phone is already plugged 3rd hour or so to the computer but the update status remain the same.
Should I try different approach?

It just gets stuck sometimes. Just kill the process, and start the RUU again. It will probably work fine on the next try. It's a bit scary, as it says not to stop the process or disconnect the phone while it's running. But if it gets stuck like this, there isn't anything else you can do.
Good News, it's working. But it's bloated to the bones. How I can get rid of the carrier unnecessary software?
I was to afraid to kill the process during update to avoid scenario of bricking my phone completely.
But It's working!

Xperia z1 compact bootloop.

Hi Guys.
I replaced a screen of a D5503. Knew the pattern to unlock the phone (friends) but messed up and thought it does not matter if it resets to factory settings after 7 attempts.. But Bootloop. Country choice appears shortly and screen goes to grey. Repair with companion gives no change. Sometimes it is possible to select country and go one screen further and then it goes grey again. Is this bootloop ?
searched web and forum for similar problems and decided finally it must be bootloop?
Of course i did not make a back up.. phone is coupled to google account of friend , so if I can get the screen to normalize and not disappear that would also be an option.
i downloaded Flashtool Emma. Most links are dead. For neccesary files, unlocking etc.
I have a sony unlock code.
(locked bootloader)
The firmware is (1279-1792) 14.6A.1.236-R2D
Can anybody direct me to the right link to follow ?
Or commands are not downloadable anymore, or I don't know what tft file to use etc.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction ? Please?
Help is appreciated. I flashed and rooted a Z1 mini once before. years back.
If you can flash stock firmware with sony compagnon with sucess 100%, it means that it's not a firmware problem.
Are you sure new screen is good? Did you replace touchscreen and LCD or only one of them?
did you test with old screen to check if system boot is ok?
I replaced both in one. Screen with digitizer asssembly. And initially the phone booted fine to lockscreen with pattern. So screen is working fine.
I messed up trying 7 times the pattern upon which the phone by itsself booted to factory settings. Since then the phone is stuck. I tried repair with companion but that made no difference.
But the adb commands to unlock bootloader don't seem to be downloadable anymore. Not even from the link provided from the sony site. from which I optained the unlock key.

well, it should be volume up and power button. But that only gets me to fastboot. No lights blincking at the supposed ledlight at all.
So the screen freezes at language choice page. that only appears shortly. sometimes just long enough to make a choice and then the screen goes grey. The only option to communicate seems to be fastboot. Since the pc recognices the phone as being in fastboot.
So how to proceed ?

Tnx. back when this was still somewhat a current model I knew what version it contained and with patience I rooted and flashed a X1c. Got a Flashtool download now branded Emma. . Looks weird in my eyes. But the .net page gives a virus error in the torrentfiles still being used in those days. Hence my loss. ? Emma version did give detailed info about the phone and the firmware and that bootloader is locked. Then can get unlock key from sony site, but adb files I can't get. And when I finallly can get them I am asked for admistrator password,. My stupid attempt to make an offline non google account pc, the other way around. And while only a few days ago I forgot that password hahaha. Dont't ask. strangers in tha house Gonna see if I have the old files still on the old brick (pc) and see if I can manage from there. -) tnx for answering and patience. I have a few bricks. maybe first create a dualboot. and be sure.
I'll report back if I get that old fart to life again thanks to your input.
Thanks again and enjoy and have fun
