hello guys i have my sony xperia c C2305
with Android system 4.2.2
buildnumber: 16.0.b.2.16
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO
cwm recovery installed
rooted via Framaroot
---------------------------------
i am going to tell story to understand what i am telling you
i accidentally removed the system ui application from my C2305 and the phone restarted automatically and i stuck at sony logo so i said here i am f*cked up here so i callad a friend and have like my phone but with different bootloader version so i rooted it installed cwm recovery and i backed up his rom and put it into my sd card then on my phone throw cwm i restored it and baaamm phone rebooted and working again but some bugs founded and my friend don't have them or in my corrupted rom weird
--------------------------------------
so i was have a battery problem in the old software buildnumber: 16.0.b.2.13 battery drain from 35% to 15% in minutes and drop 1% every 10 minutes
so i update my phone to fix these problems via sony combination on pc and successfully done!!
ps: after finishing nothing removed from the phone all my data and apps not removed
>>>>>>>>>>>
battery drain problem 35% to 15% fixed but still i have 1% every 10 minutes and i think the reason that problem still there because sony software updated buildnumber 16.0.b.2.13 into 16.0.b.2.16 without removing the old files
----------------------------------------
now it's time to go to the real work
the available fix are:
1. is factory reset
2. reflash sony official rom with buildnumber 16.0.b.2.16 (tft) file
3. do software fix throw sony combination
4. take it sony service center
----------------------------------------
i tried fix 1 multi times not working
in fix 2 we have problems i will tell you later
fix 3 is the backup plan
4. it is the most easy way but unfortunately no sony service center in Syria
------------------------------------
(fix 2 flashtool and bootloader)
we have too many problems here!!
so i downloaded the (tft) file and our problem is how to flash it into the phone
what i understand that i can't flash custom rom or any thing into phone without unlock the bootloader!!!
and i can't unlock bootloader because it's Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO!!
so i found a theard here how to unlock it and i have to call phone service provider and send phone to sony service center as i explained there is no center in Syria
-----------------------------------
the bottom line i am asking do i need to unlock bootloader to flash official sony rom via flashtool on pc???
and if yes i need how to unlock bootloader without sending him to service center
or a way to fix the batttery drop problem 1% every 10 minutes ps: airplane mod activated screen brightness is on lower level no apps running in background so please help me and if i something new i will keep the post updated any suggestions will be helpful

I am facing a very annoying problem: my x10 mini(unrooted) automatically gets restarts.
Some of the days it works fine. But once it gets restarts then it restarts atleast 3-4 times a day. I have tried to reinstall the android firmware but still the problem prevails. I keep the phone memory at 21-22MB level, is the problem because of this( But I want to tell you 1 thing that I bought the phone in november and in feb end my phone was not switching on ,then I went to SE service centre they reinstalled the firmware and the problem was solved. Since then I am facing the problem of rebooting, before that it worked fine. I used to keep the phone memory around 2mb in the initial days of purchasing and it worked fine even in 2mb so I guess low phone memory is not a problem. I rooted my phone in november but when service centre employee reinstalled the firmware then I lost rooting.i.e. Now my phone is unrooted). Can the problem be because of SIM card or SD Card(corrupt files which I am aware of) or it is because of some other reason?
I dont want to go to the service centre because I feel that they will just reinstall the firmware which I already have done. It would be great if you could tell me any solution. If not the solution then a user friendly and so technical language using app which show the log of my phone so that I can figure out what happens in the system. But I really want a solution. Please guys help! Hope you guys would bring all your experience into play and help me.

Well ..people will need some more specific info ..like are you on the latest SE update ? what programs did u install (seems u did install quite a few as ur phone memory is ~22 MB ). Anything you noticed when it reboots ? Like while doing some operation or running something in particular when this reboot happens ?
Why dont you do a fresh flashing of the latest update through SEUS (not PC companion) and then just stick to the stock ROM (without installing anything else) for 7-10 days and see how it behaves ?
You can always take a backup of ur essentials like SMS and contacts (if you are not syncing ur contacts with google ) before you flash using SEUS.
There are ways to check the logs (using logcat ) but not sure how much effective it might be as u might not be in a position to check logs everytime when your phone reboots.
Hope this helps. Really there was very less inputs available for giving any solution.
I am having the latest android firmware. I updated the android firmware by downloading a firmware file avaible on the sony's website, I don't know what it is called but I surely didn't used pc companion for updating. There is no specific app which I am using when it restarts.
I will give any necessary info which will help you to suggest a solution.

you cannot just download a firmware from SE site ..it can be done only by two ways one via PC companion and the other by SE Update service. (SEUS)
And yes , it would be better to reflash through SEUS . It does seem that you have installed lots of things ..better forget them now and just use the stock ROM from SE.
Hello,
I have a weird problem, I sold my X10 mini pro, but the customer has a weird force close of the phone app...
the rom version is 2.1.1.A.0.6 as it is the latest available with an italian KIT number.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
He already tried to reflash via Pc Companion, and hard reset via settings...
he is allready done hard reset and memory reset and what the phone doing now?
he says that sometimes the phone hangs, and it shows the phone FC, the only way to reboot is to take the battery out. But the rom is the original one
if the phone is stock... 3 things
1. the phone has problem in it electronic cirquits not firmware
2. he maybe try to unlock it or root it or other kernel /rom
3. dont put the battery out just press the menu button and on/off button together to reboot it
tell him to make a reset and let the phone as stock without programms to see... if the phone has stock apps with the latest stock firmware maybe is the (1.) if the phone is stable in stock mode tell him that is some programm make that hang... because i see that on my phone where i had it stock... install apps only from android market and see if it stable.... then continue easily and stable ... not 5 to 5 programms every time....

I don't think he rooted or installed anything, and the phone was working fine when I had it. It's so weird...
if the phone work fine when u had it and is stock and it did not fall down and brake any electronic parts tell him to reset it all everythings programms and start from begginng maybe is a programm... or else he is unlucky guy recycle or fix it to Sony Ericsson... after all i believe that is a programm problem and i say again ... if the truth is that the phone is stock...
IMHO full memory (on-board).
Remove some apps...

Hi all,
EDIT: IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF - MODS Please delete thread!
I have had my Sony Xperia Z Ultra for a while now and experienced many of the bugs read on this forum.
When I saw the .532 update for the HK version I immediately went on to flash it officially via the Update Service (mine is the HK version).
It updated fine without but I couldn't turn the screen off fully and the backlight stayed on continously draining the battery very rapidly.
So I decided to restore the device fully via the Official update service and this when the problem occured.
It started updating without problems but after a few seconds it just stopped and told me there was an error.
I tried it a few times to no avail and get similar result with the flashtool.
If anyone has any suggestions fire away.
Also, BL not unlocked, not root and neither custom recovery.
Many thanks
How u fixed the problem ?
Just interesting....

I turned my computer off and back on again and that made it work. Really randon
Phone info:
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i
Rooted
LOCKED Bootloader
Custom Firmware and Custom Rom: Gimlo
Xposed Framework Installed
Problem:
After my last reboot, phone is stuck at 'SONY' bootlogo. I am able to boot to CWM Recovery. On removing battery, phone would switch on automatically sometimes. But the main problem,, the phone doesn't go past the 'SONY' logo.
Edit: The phone charges(shows red led and the charging icon) on connecting to pc via usb.
'Might Be' Causes:
Everything had been working fine upto yesterday. Yesterday i was cleaning up my phone so..something might have happened yesterday. So all the things i did in chronological order(besides daily routine):
Uninstalled apps- Meme Generator Free, Township
Installed- Wakelock Detector and ran it once
Uninstalled Script- TweakDrypt(using Terminal Emulator)
enabled Xposed module for Greenify(free version)
Reboot!
And the phone has been like this since yesterday.
I haven't flashed any rom or anything..and i don't think it is a hard brick either..So will i have to use the flashtool to flash the stock firmware and rom?( I would like an alternative to preserve my data please!)
Solutions Tried:
→Google searches...only found suggestions regarding flashtool to flash the device stock
→At first, i went to CWM and took a nand backup of 'current state' of the phone. Then, I cleared cache and wiped dalvik cache. Rebooted, still it is stuck.
→Did a soft reset, "Power+volume up" until i get 1 vibration..and then released it..no effect.
→I make weekly nand backups of my phone..so i tried restoring last week's backup. Even then it is stuck! I don't understand why would that happen...
Please help...If i have missed out to mention any detail, please do tell and i will send it.

Good evening!
My significant other is the one who owns an Xperia Z2 and I just want to help her about what's happening to her phone.
The situation is that updating to Android 6.0 is not a good idea because ever since she updated her Z2, a persistent problem goes to show. Few days after updating to Android M, the phone lags every now and then and eventually ends up on a bootloop. Now on my part, I did a recovery through Sony Companion using a PC and then restored it to it's factory state. I thought we fixed the problem until few weeks passed and it happened again (lags-freeze-bootloop). I did the same process of restoring it every time it enters boot loop but the problem still arise.
I have little knowledge about how Sony Xperia phones work since it mainly relies on Sony Companion because usually Xperia phones have their bootloader locked unlike ASUS' and Samsung's phones.
I can't identify if this is a hardware or software issue because as for my observation, the problem just arise on Android 6.0
What could be the problem of her Z2 and what is the best possible solution to do?
Thanks in advance and God bless.

Use flashtool by androxyde to reflash the whole MM FW of your region and carrier. If it doesnt work, flash an older version of FW ( KK or LP ) to see if the problem still there.
Btw, is your phone rooted?

Thanks for the reply
Her Z2 isn't rooted, also there is no access to recovery mode since I can't enter recovery when I pressed the button combination.
Should I restore it with Sony Companion and then enable usb debugging so that I can enter recovery mode? If not, can you give me a heads up on what should I do? Thanks

Head over to flashtool and download an older android FW through it. And then flash it using flashtool.

Got the same problem with the latest stock version of my carrier, which I believe is 6.0. This problem also appears with Existenz ROM v5.1.0 which runs Android 6.0.1. Will try an older version of Android and test if the problem keeps appearing.
Thank you all,
