So, I have an Xperia XA2 Model H3123. It's been acting kind of slow lately and for whatever reason, wouldn't let me update to the newest firmware through the Android OS. I HAD to update through Flashing it. Which was fine. The instructions were pretty simple. So, I download the Sony Mobile Flasher and select the new update. I put it into Download Mode and attempt to flash. It tells me there's No Script for it and can't flash it. Turns out, the Flasher only has a .fsc file for Android 8 and not 9. After failing to find a script for it, I idiotically rename the 501 fsc script to 502 (the android 9 version) and it all works fine. Then after I boot up the phone, I get the Sony logo and it flashes the repair icon (Triangle with wrench and screwdriver) then it shuts off.
I hold the Vol. Down button to try to get it into download mode, nothing. Try turning it on normally, nothing. So, I'm at a loss. I really love this phone and I'd love to get it back up. Please tell me there's a way.

I recently updated my lg G3 ( Google patch update named Aug-18-2015 etc) and it started to malfunction with resets, crashing and eventually got it stuck in boot loop. Then it booted into a green screen that said "demigod crash handler/tz crash" thrice. Instead of a hard reset I decided to using the lg mobile support tool to fix it. During the upgrade recovery my phone went into download mode/firmware update. I could see the progress bar moving and then get stuck and my mobile would switch off. Took out the battery, disconnected and reconnected the phone and tried the process all over again but in vain. I repeated this at least 8 times and eventually gave up. Now my phone is basically useless and only boots into firmware update. Hard reset doesn't work either. Can somebody please help me fix this?
Android version : 5.0

I have tried everything available online but nothing works. Im so frustrated atm. :/
Could you enter recovery. Connect your phone into your computer in firewall update and after go on adb and fastboot commends and type adb reboot-recovery
Im not that experienced but have been playing around trying to learn about roms etc. I used the flashify app to flash a rom but accidentally used the wrong rom. I grabbed the one for the v500 model instad of vk810. Needless to say it messed up. When the tablet boots it stays on the boot image for several minutes then it will attemp to update apps but gets stuck there. I have tried many fixes. The LG mobile tool doesnt work. I try to update recovery. It downloads the update but wont install. I cant force the tablet into recovery with button pushes. I have been able to put the tablet into twrp 2.7.8.1 recovery with droid explorer. From there I have tried to flash about 3 different roms that all say they should work for the vk810 but i get errors with all of them and they fail. Im not sure if there is any hope to get the tablet working again but hope someone can help.
First, I don't think you can use Flashify to flash a whole ROM at all. Definitely not recommended, even if it's is supposed to be capable of doing that. I haven't tested flashing ROMs with it so no idea if it can work or not.
Can you put it in Download mode? If so, install the Verizon LG drivers, reboot the PC and try LG Flash Tool 2014 with the 11A KDZ, you can get the KDZ from the link in my signature. It's easiest to root and put TWRP back on that old stock ROM.
FYI it would have to be in Download mode for the mobile tool to work - just in case you didn't know or didn't have it in Download mode. LG Flash Tool 2014 does the same thing as the mobile tool except the mobile tool re-downloads the newest KDZ every time you try it unless you hack it. It's much easier just downloading the KDZ separately and keeping it on file for times like this to flash with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Just remember, if you use LG Flash Tool 2014, ignore any error it throws at you. Just drag the dialog boxes out of your way, don't press any buttons in error dialogs. 99% of the time, if you just ignore them within 10-20 minutes it'll have successfully flashed your VK810 anyway.
Also, once you install the drivers and reboot, put your original USB cable that came with the VK810 into a USB 2.0 port on the PC, with the tablet completely off, hold the Up Volume button in, connect the tablet end of the USB cable and keep the Up Volume button pressed for another second or two, and you should see a very dim "Download Mode" graphic in the center of the screen. It's very hard to see. The first time you connect the tablet in Download mode to a different USB 2.0 port or Windows installation, it can take up to 10 minutes to actually load the driver you previously installed. Look in Device Manager under the Modem section to see when the driver is fully loaded by looking for the LG device entry there.
Question: I assume you mean TWRP v2.8.7.1, but I was just wondering where you found 2.8.7.1? I've only found 2.8.7.0, not that it's a big deal.
Long story short, my phone came from China and did not have Google Apps installed. I tried to root it with some youtube method and the boot.img file got changed, not knowing what to do next I gave it to repair shop.
They somehow managed to restore the stock rom and gave me the stock rom.zip file as well but the IMEI was removed, so after trying a few methods I realized my phone doesn't get detected in META Mode but somehow gets detected if it's turned off and connected directly. I thought should install the stock firmware again by myself.
I first tried it with Download mode only, it loaded a few files but gave some error like IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCHED. After that it got stuck on boot screen.
So instead of the download option in SP tool I chose Format All + Download.
The thing is my phone does not get detected in META Mode so I thought it wouldn't change anything but now the phone doesn't turn on. The screen is blank, nothing happens with phone is connected to charger.
If I connect the phone to PC, it detects a Preloader Port Android (COM 7) on device manager for a few seconds then goes off, then keeps going on and off like it's trying to boot but doesn't boot.
Please help. This phone can't be sent back to china because the warranty is possibly void as this phone has been used about 6 months and also been tried for rooting.
It still gets connected via SP Tool but gives the same error after loading a few files. Image Attached.

Any help in this regard would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
I had the same initial issue, so I did the "Format All + Download" on the SP Tool with a ROM I downloaded and it flashed successfully and everything works fine now, it even auto updated to the Android 7.0 and the latest security patches (05/08/18).
I cannot remember from where I got the ROM I used but I can upload it for you, if you want/need it.
The only issue is that I lost my IMEI. When I find a way to fix it I will let you know.

I followed that and I successfully restored my lost IMEI, everything works fine now.
Hope it helps.

Sadly I cannot help you since I no longer have that phone available, sorry.
Hello, first of all I want to apologise if this problem was already discussed, I tried searching in threads and also using the old friend google, but found nothing related.
So, yesterday, I managed to flash the a.o.s.c.p cypher OS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/g4-cypheros-t3680102), Oreo version, and after I tried rooting with Magisk I've got bootloop issues with the rom. After this, I reinstalled the zip file and it managed to go back to the OS, but every installed app would crash when tried to open. Because I did not find my backups (not too organised, I know) I tried flashing through LG UP the "LGH815 EU Nougat 7.0 BySezerSimsek.tot" file I had downloaded on my laptop, unfortunatelly, after 10~ seconds, the download mode just restarted and since then (though, it was doing this before I tried to flash with LG Up, but I thought that after I start flashing it will not reboot...), everytime I try to boot my device either normal or to recovery mode, it goes automatically to download mode, where it stays for 10 seconds and then reboots (So I'm not able anymore to use LG UP).
Also, tried LGMobile Support tool, but because I cannot keep the phone in download mode more than 10 seconds, it fails to do anything, it finished to download a firmware for it, but was unable to flash it.
Is there any chance I can "revive" it? the battery was about 50% when I started the first try with download mode, so now, it should be around 20-30% I guess.
In Download Mode, in the box, it says:
633A B49
Modified
P.S.1: After reading some more threads, I found that some people were stuck at 9% while flashing with lg up, but for me, as I said before, the download mode just keeps restarting no matter what I do with it ( even if I just leave it not connected to the pc)
P.S.2: After some more flashing with LGUP tries, I came to conclusion that the download mode restarts after ~17 seconds, and now, in the rectangle it says:
633A B56
Modified
P.S.3: I have been trying to flash "Europe H81520D_00_0115.kdz" and sometimes, if I get the timings right, I can get up to 25% (it restarts at 9%, ~19% and then 24-25%, so, it doesn't always give error after restarting and reconnecting to LG UP). I used the .dll extracted from .kdz file.
Hello, i have the exact same problem as yours with the same custom rom.
My phone stays around 20 seconds in download mode, i can launch LG UP to flash H81520i but 20 seconds is just not enough to flash the LG G4 firmware AFAIK.
I did see that there are some ways to launch the Qualcomm emergency mode but we'll need to disassemble the phone to short two pins to force it to boot in this mode.
I finally found the solution ! Follow this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-proper-h815-unbrick-qfil-files-t3709212 You'll need to disassemble the phone in order to do this tutorial, after you've done the emmc flash you will need to reflash a rom with LGUP.

Thank you for the reply.
I already fix my G4, but unfortunatelly I do not have like a detailed fix because: I went to a "Phone repair shop" and I left my phone there for one day. As I said, before I was not able to boot into recovery, the phone was restarting in download mode after ~17 seconds, and I had no idea about the battery percentage.
The next day I took back the phone and the guy there told me that there was not much he could do, but when I got home, the moment I tried to boot it, it went to recovery mode (twrp) where I tried to install a ROM (I forgot which one, but it was a .zip) and it failed to mount /cache. After that, I tried booting into download mode where it stayed for as long time as I needed without restarting. I was trying to flash 20D version (failed at 25% everytime) until I found this thread where the advice was to use the 20P version. After that it just worked fine.
So, I have no idea what did the guy from the "repair shop", I don't now if it was just related to my battery "running out of juice" or maybe he used any other "magic" box with tools for android smartphones (I've got back my phone with ~60% battery).
Also, before I went to the repair shop, I tried a method I found on xda, unfortunately I could not find the link right now, where I had to format a micro sd card and kind of "flash" (it's not actually flashing) a file to the SD card, put it inside the phone and just boot into Download mode (I'm not sure if it affected somehow the state of my phone)
Hi there,
I've tried to flash my phone.
At first I've flashed the China Version Miui Beta 12.5 and it runs.
Then I've tried to flash MiuiPlus and when it starts to boot into the Rom, there comes the MiuiPlus and it didn't boot completely.
Then I've tried to flash an other Europe Miui 12.5 and after flash I did a start into the system from TWRP.
It shut down and then I saw half a second, the Display shows a little light, then it turns of.
This happens also when I wants tot start into Recovery and when I plug it on.
When I wants to start it into Fastboot Mode, there is just have a second the Fastboot Symbol, then it turns off.
Can somebody help me?
Is this a brick?
Thks. for every try to help me
Do you unlock your phone?
In case of brick, you will need to flash in QCOM mode, but that is limited to only a few service center, officially. But thanks to recent discovery, it isn't necessary. Here is how you bypass the security measures and flash your device via SPFT. If you are on latest windows 10, you will need to install the microsoft store version of python instead, and then install the necessary libraries manually.
