Hi all,
In an attempt to install FXP111 I discovered that the kernel didn't work in the worst way. Now I can't reboot into fastboot mode again to install another kernel.
Help me and thanks!
Turn it off, hold down VOLUME UP and connect USB cable.
If blue LED lights up, your phone is in fastboot mode.
Solved! Thx
I need help please!
I tried to downgrade my phone from using this guide:
thespicygadgematics.com/2012/06/downgrade-and-install-gingerbread-and.html
with the gb rom from here:
thespicygadgematics.com/2012/07/root-xperia-s-lt26i-without-unlock.html
I was on this part:
Enable fastboot mode by press and hold the volume down button and same time connect the phone to the PC via USB cable (differ from device to device)
I did it and it started flashing but suddenly it disconnected the phone and now it always displays the logo, goes back dark and so on!
What do I do now?? Please help me
First do the forced shutdown by holding power button + vol down. Then try to charge battery again, just plug it in, and try to flash again. If you can't get it to charge battery try flashing again hoping it will last long enough to finish the process.
Thanks for the reply! I did the voldown+power, then plug it into the computer and did a software reset with seus. Now everything is working again
Hello,
I recently flashed CM 11 to my One X +
Was all working fine until I noticed that my SIM contacts are gone. So I decided to change back to Android Revolution HD.
In my wisdom, I flashed the boot.img first and restarted. So now I'm stuck in a bootloop and I can't get out of it since the phone does not
go into fastboot anymore.
The three buttons (back, home and the weird thing on the right) just keep flashing red when I press power + volume down.
Just pressing power has the same effect btw. So I'm completely stuck and hoping for some help?
So you need to force a power off. The lights at the bottom will flash 3 or 4 times alerting you that you are forcing a power down of the device. This is NORMAL.
I recommend holding the power and volume down to try to get it out of the boot loop, and into the boot-loader. Hopefully before you flashed CWM 11 you made a Nandroid backup in your recovery, in which case you can restore it and everything should be A-ok as it will restore the boot.img and the rom along with your contacts and apps.
Otherwise you will need to reflash the Rom as usual. Eventually with a boot loop the device runs out of battery, and will power down on its own. At which point you can (usually) charge it enough to re-flash, via entering the bootloader by pressing power and volume down. Then you can just enter recovery, and flash the rom from there.
Did you load the ROM to the internal memory, if you need to re-flash I hope? If not, then you can push or sideload the ROM via adb.

Trying to access flash mode to flash a working firmware. Phone will only blink red/green for a half second before shutting off. Cannot access the phone via flash mode to flash using flashtool. When I connect the USB cable holding the Vol up button the light turns blue and remains blue until I unplug. Am I missing something here?
Volume up gets you into fastboot mode, with the blue light. That's what you are getting. Volume down while plugging is how you get to flash mode. There will be no light, but you should hear or see a notification on your PC when it is recognized, if you have drivers installed.
Also be sure that you first choose the firmware and wait for flashtool to prepare it for flashing and then connect the phone with vol down, otherwise it will not work.

I accidentally restore a backup (of my previous Z2 which was on my sd card through TWRP) on my Z2 on Exsistenz LP ROM yesterday. After that phone wont boot. Battery was .70% at the time of death. Red blinking led is seen when connected to usb cable. POWER + VOL UP doesn't give 3 vibes as intended, in fact nothing. Neither red hard reset button(Tried pressing it for >3mins). Cannot enter flash mode or fast boot modes .(tried to flash stock ROM through flash tool-failed). Only red blinking LED appears when usb cable connected.
Wierd to found when I press hard reset button while pressing POWER button it gives 3 vibes. But nothing changed.
Tried "pressing and holding all 3 buttons (power,vol+and vol-) all at the same time till it vibrates once then let go of the power button and vol+ but keep holding vol - while plugging in the usb cable this MiGHT boot your phone into flash mode" But didn't vibrate while holding all 3 buttons.
Its out of warranty period as well.
Please help me to recover to recover??? :crying:
use flashtool and flash stock ftf.
connect phone with usb cable when flashtool prompt to connect the phone

Something similar happened to me recently...wonder if this is a bug in a new release or something
This is what I did.
If you can't turn off phone, turn it off using the hard reset button http://sony-xperia.mobi/eng/sony-xperia-z2/231-how-to-do-a-hard-reset-and-reboot-a-sony-xperia-z2-physical-hard-reset-button-sony-xperia-z2.html
There's a really good guide on bricked z2 somewhere on xda but I can't find it anymore . What it said was useflashtools and flash and old ftf e.g. 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 and make sure to wipe apps_log and user_data in settings.

If you restored another XZ2 with LOCKED BOOTLOADER's backup you probably killed your phone.
Was your bootloader unlocked?
Restoring anothers TA partition kills your device because drm keys are uniq
