[Q] Did i brick my Z2 ? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I had a rooted Z2 with an unlocked bootloader, running the Existenz ROM. I wanted to try something else, and i liked the Carbon ROM on here, so i tried to flash this. i'd picked the Sirius version, so everything was fine, and i checked everything (i think). Although the installer said "successfull", my phone won't reboot. The only thing it does is vibrate when i press the power button. Even when i try to charge it, the notification led won't light up..
What can i do to fix it, or has it become an expensive "throw-away" piece of glass ?

I am not able to flash any rom by seus or pcc.
After flashing any rom I have triagle with "!".
Sometimes, specially the first times, the process gets interrupted. Just try again until the bottom shows 100%!

If you could flash it correctly on other PC, maybe the issue is the USB port. Even if it works, I could only flash and do the testpoint method in my rear USBs, the front ones didn't work at all.

[Q] [HELP] [WTSR/SMPL] Bricked SGSII by removing Gmaps

Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?

[SEEK] Thread with complete explanations on custom rom protocol installation

Hello there, I won't lie, I ask for help, you answer me.
I don't understand enought your method, because it's not well described.
But.. Therefore...
I'm able to root my device.
I'm able to backup my ta partition or my drm keys.
I'm able to unlock my bootloader.
I'm able to restore my bootloader to lock it back.
i'm able to unbrick my phone when it couldn't boot via flashtool.
Click to expand...

But I'm unable to install a custom recovery and or even launch the stock on it there was one.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 (normal boot and no pink led).
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799388 via flashtool and my phone couldn't boot, even to the SONY logo, but it were vibrating when pushing on the power button.
Anyway, I flashed via flashtool the 14.4.A.0.108 back, now I'm still rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.

What can I do to install a custom recovery via the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
Or this operation is impossible and I have to downgrade ?
(I read about downgrade and I'm affraid to lose my IMEI)

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that there is a stock firmware development aka the custom ROMs can't just start "taking over from where the devs left off" like it happened with Samsung Devices that get stuck at v4.1.2 unless someone else does something about it.
I guess most things here just are not stable. I hope the stock works out for you. Did you get the rooting done? I found a video tutorial for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-android-4-4-4-ver-14-4-0-108-t2801587

Hello, of course I have done rooting, now I'm back in full stock, nk rooting, just pure sony beauty. And everything works better without root, or it doesn't matter, but the navigation and the use of the device is much smoother without lags

i had the same problem when i tried the first time.
Download flashtool and flash .402 ftf or similar. would recommend .402 though.
That helped me. It deleted everything on the phone except for the SD card, but a small price to pay for a quick fix.

First of all thank you very much for the reply!
By flashtool you mean the official flashtool of Sony or any other?
Because in the original application i'm getting error that i have to open my bootloader. But I can't because of the ADB issue.

The one i used is flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows. get it here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByK8JL7P6wDTMXRvcTdjMzVuNFk/edit
then visit http://www.flashtool.net/index.php for more info on how to proceed with install etc. also =)
also download ftf from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934 i recommend the .402 so you can use easyroot to root!
You should just be able to flash the corresponding kernel for your firmware via flashtool/adb to get it working again

If u have any official cm rom for ur device then flash it via Odin.
And if it doesn't work, try out loading the CSC and BL file with the PDA file. This might work.

mine did the exact same thing with that goofy lower half of the screen. It went away after a reboot and I stopped using the phone. Going to upgrade to 5.1.1 on the chance it's a software problem if it happens again.
I took it in guarantee service they said motherboard is dead need replace
The same here ...
This confirmed that the main board is damaged ??
I flashing an official rom and done correctly, but the restart stay in bootloop ...
