Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?
Doesn't work either

2)why volume down?
5)seus nor pcc doesn't relock bootloader, plus if he unlocked it via official way, he won't be able to use pcc nor seus.
@OP: what happens when you try connecting in fastboot mode? No blue led? Hows your phone named in device manager?
@madfysh
I had the same problem with that CM9 kernel and I had unlocked bootloader & I recovered my phone using SUSE by the same process I wrote that's y I suggested him those steps

I will give this a try.
I think there might be a problem with the Trim Area though. I have been looking for a solution but it seems hard.

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?

There are many ways to get your phone into working condition.
1. The first thing you should do is, try repairing your phone through PC companion.
2. If your fastboot mode is working and have unlocked bootloader, try flashing stock ftf ROM into your phone via flashtool.
3. Try flashing recoveries via fastboot and then clean reflashing ROM
Let me know if you have problem with above
Regards,
hitman-xda
pc companion can't find phone
flashtool (emma i found it on sony site) is not supporting xperia m
Is there any specific error, when you connect your phone to computer?
Try factory resetting phone through stock recovery. It might help you.
Hello guys, today it's a really bad day for me. My M4 is now totally bricked.
Here's why:
I installed CM 12.1 and I will get back to stock, but my phone not enter in flashmode. So I flashed a zip file of stock rom but it not booted. I want to get Flashmode back, and I find a flashable zip that restore flashmode in Sony Xperia M. I flashed it and... bye bye M4. Now the phone only enter in SOMC FLASH DEVICE, Flashtool not flash, but say:
Device connected with USB debugging OFF. For 2011 devices line be sure that you aren't in MTP mode.
Sometimes enter in Unkown device. I have all drivers and I'm using original cable with USB 2.0 port. Now I'm trying to restore with PCC.
I removed the battery connectors for a while, put them back, but nothing changed.
My battery is at 100%.
What should I do?
So flash mode does not work anymore? This may seem inappropriate to say now that your phone is dead but if you have technical experience you could make a guide to opening and repairing the M4 or at least take pictures. But if flash mode or fastboot works try to restore it first
Well... Sorry to hear that :/ but uh..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040
It uses a MSM8939 board same as ours. It's up to you if you want to attempt it but I'm suggesting not to.. Good luck anyway!
Thank you very much! Firstly I will try to send it to the shop where I buyd (sorry my english) and if they don't change the phone I will try this. Really thank you again!
EDIT: Ok, I am following the tutorial, but my M4 show only qhsusb_bulk with no driver. What I have to do?

probably you flashed custom kernel/rom with bootloader unlock=NO , you can try the S1 tool to restore your bootloader but you must have the original one.

Thanx for reply,
My bootloader status is yes.
I think wrong kernel makes this problem,
By the way, how s1 bootloader restore.
Any tools?
And how get original bootloader.
Is loader.sin is helpful from ftf?
Thank u.
I'm waiting for your reply

you must have qhsusb_dload detected if yes then download this zip extract it and run s1tool, you must copy boot.sin and s1boot from your stock rom, the two files inside the zip are not for your C3, but you can try at your own risk.

Friend, Google Drive file need permission. I did leave request to the file owner. If u r the owner pls give permission to download access
Hi - have been searching these forums for days now but cant find a solution.
I am OK at flashing etc but am stuck now. Phone is stuck at Sony logo and won't go any further.
Phone is an Xperia M4 (E2303) and the bootloader is locked - have tried unlocking it but get 'Failed - command not allowed' so i'm guessing it is not unlockable!
I can't get into recovery (nothing happens when i try) and cant get into FlashMode either. I plug usb into phone while holding the volume down key. I CAN get into Fastboot mode which seems to work fine and is recognized ok by PC - drivers all installed ok.
Is there a way of flashing an FTF using Fastboot rather than Flashmode? or even installing any recovery. I have 32 and 64-bit Flashtool installed, i have FTF files and i have EMMA.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful - many thanks - ian
With bootloader locker you won't be able to flash anything. I had the same problem.
Desperately, my friend thought it was a good idea to put the phone on the refrigerator for a while.
Surprisingly, in the next day, I turned it on and the cold phone booted normaly and then I was able to set OEM unlock authorization on developer settings and unlocked the bootloader with sony unlock key.
Then I tried to flash a twrp, but I'm stuck back on boot loop again, and fridge didn't help this time.
Power OFF phone, then hold together for at least 30 sec in this order "volume down" + "volume up" + "power button". Then release 3 buttons and try to power on phone with power button. This procedure will revert your phone back to default settings.

Hi there,
Same problem as OP here.
I am trying to revive my wife ex-phone, model 2303 which has been forgotten for two years at least.
Stock rom
No root
Bootloader locked
Stuck at Sony Logo when starting up the phone.
Can boot in FastBoot (blue light) and is detected by PC
Can boot in FlashMode (green light) but PC doesn't detect anything. Nothing appears in Peripherals.
Any advices ?
What can be done in FastBoot mode with a locked bootloader ?

Also Xperia companion will install all needed drivers and could also recover device.
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/articles/00236877
Thank your for your advices.
But in Flashmode the phone does not even appear in computer peripherals manager.
In FastBoot, Sony Emma does not detect phone neither.

Have you tried using an older version of flashtool ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Which version of flashtool would you recommend ?
Would it change anything as the phone is not detected in device manager anyway ?
Hi there,
my mate gave me his Xperia Z2 asking if I could fix it. He said it's stuck in boot loop. I thought it'd be an easy fix but I am experiencing a problem that I think (I hope I'm wrong) is hardware related.
The phone is indeed stuck on the sony logo and won't go past it. It responds to power+volume up (buzzes 3 times). I can put it into fastboot mode (blue LED, flashtool recognizes the phone in fastboot mode). However, I can't put it into flashmode (LED goes green, but flashtool doesn't recognize it, Windows and Sony Companion doesn't either btw).
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it or is it indeed a hardware issue?
TIA guys
Cheers
Edit: All the drivers are installed, I have tried two different computers, previous flashings were no prob.

Is the bootloader Unlocked???
If yes then try flashing a kernel that has built-in recovery and clean flash a new rom
It may helps
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid the bootloader is still locked, tried to flash a kernel already, it won't let me so I assume it's locked.

Maybe you can unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel(try it at your own risk)
Okay, thanks, will do that. I would have liked to find a way without unlocking the bootloader (wanted so save keys first) but it seems that it's the only way since I can't make it into flash mode. Will give an update after!
Hi there.
Unfortunately I couldn't unlock the bl. I assume, USB debugging isn't enabled. Any ideas?

I think there is some gadgets out there that will force your phone to boot to flash mode(im not sure) or you can search "how to force Xperia phone to boot to flash mode" it may helps
If you cannot access fastboot or flash mode there is nothing you can do
Cool, will do, thanks.
Just to clarify: I can access fastboot mode fine, it's just flash mode that isn't recognized! Will post an update.

Ah, I see. Well, anyway, I tried to find a way to force the phone into flash mode but nothing worked. Very annoying but I think I'm gonna call it quits.
Thanks for your help anyway, appreciated!
It seems like a firmware issue than a hardware one.
It's either falshtool compatibility issues , a soft-bricked phone or both.
1 - Try using an older version of flashtool like 0.9.18.6 and see if flashmode works.
2 - If you know the current firmware version
you can just flash the stock,signed kernel via fastboot.

Are you sure you have the proper flashtool drivers installed? What's the Windows and Flashtool version? And have you connected any other Xperia device in flashmode mode to the same pc before?
I am saying that it is 90% a driver issue..
-Try disabling Driver signature on Windows 10 or 8 then reinstalling Flashmode AND Xperia Z2 drivers from the folder drivers in the main flashtool folder, then restart the pc..
- Try connecting a different USB cable
- Try connecting to a different USB port..
- And when you want to flash the firmware.. Select flash.. Select the firmware.. Check the wipe options (optional).. Press flash.. And after that when flashtool asks to connect the device in flashmode connect it.. Do not connected it BEFORE pressing flash..
Hope this will help you.. Have a good time..
Bye
