[SOLVED] Please Help, I might just have bricked my device - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may related to kernel problem. I think I used the wrong one.(Fast boot is accessible)
today i tried to install lollipop on my D6503 Z2 device running 17.xxxxxx (I cant remember and i cant turn my phone on now)
i downloaded the file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6503-23-1-0-690-bal-rooted-t3057150
however, i cant flash the zip file since i cannot get in to recovery mode. (when ever i try to reboot into recovery mode it just boot into normal stock rom) So i tried installing TWRP from the play store app "TWRP Manager" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en but it failed. I remember it said something like "the installation has failed. Either you have already install custom recovery or there might be some other problems. Do you want to reboot in recovery mode?" I clicked "yes" then it booted into stock rom again. After failing I went into TWRP website and manually download the latest version of TWRO 2.8.6.0 on this website http://dl.twrp.me/sirius/ and proceed to download flashtool form www.flashtool.net/ .
I conected my device and install dual boot recovery "Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer". I choose no. 3 first (which nothing happened) and then i choose no. 1. Its said successful. I tried to reboot again which didn't change anything.
Then I opened the flashtool i downloaded and get into fastboot mode( since flash mode cant flash the img file for me. or I just don't know how to do it). In fast boot option I clicked "reboot into fastboot mode via ADB" every went fine I got the blue light with black screen. Then I clicked "select Kernel to Flash" which is my TWRP recovery. After it is done, I tried to reboot back to stock however after the sony logo is shown the screen went dark and I couldn't do anything beside pressing volume up and power to force shut down. I rebooted and nothing changes.
In short
-I tried to install lollipop pre rooted on my Z2
-Couldn't instal. I can't reboot into recovery mode
-try to manually install TWRP by downloading from its website and flash in fastboot mode (i choose "select Kernel to Flash")
-Now I cannot boot my device back to stock. After the sony is shown, the screen went black. I need to forced shutdown.
-Just realized that my kernel version changed to 3.4.0cyanogenmod
-I probably flashed the wrong kernel
-I cannot get into recovery mode
-i did do a TWRP back up
Btw here is my log when trying to flash the TWRP

That surely will do the trick. I personally had the same problem years back, and having had my first Sony Xperia phone, I did manage to get over it. What I did practically is detailed in that link posted by @o0Matt0o , today I see someone with same problem and I can imagine the frustration, because I did too.
Good luck friend.

I've 'bricked' my phones many times. I know it frustrating. But Xperias are so easy to fix.
The best thing about a brick is you learn how to fix it.

Got proper fastboot drivers installed?
Try removing spaces from the filename, or just rename it to boot.img and then try again.
Try these, will try to think more.
how to know that proper fastboot driver is installed or not??
have tried renaming the file to "boot.img' but the same result

after connecting in fastboot mode my pc is saying in the taskbar "eject s1fastboot" so i think it's installed.
don't know what is wrong. really feeling frustrated
Did some research on Google, couldn't find solution to this, neither can I think anything more.
Phone is in fastboot mode(blue LED), bootloader is unlocked...I can't see the problem.
Anyone else, that would have ideas?

thanks for your try
anyone else??
looking at the log, the kernel that u try to flash had a space in its name isnt it?
Code:
boot_smultron_rc3_final (2).img
remove the space, eg just rename it as
Code:
boot.img
and try again.
fastboot and adb run in cmd. filename must not contain any space in it, mandatory.
i've tried with boot.img with flashtool. the output was same. how to install with cmd ???
ummm seems like u didnt understand what i'm trying to say :/
forget about it.
use this instead

You must reflash stock rom in flashmode. Just select the stock gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware and flash it. Do you know how to do that?
can i try other custom rom?

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Because if it's unlocked and you chose the right kernel and rom, maybe you forgot to do a factory reset or wipe cache?
it is unlocked 7 months ago, i tried some gb roms and this ics rom, but now only i had this type of problem, that why i little worried about.
May b just reflash the right kernel (kernel panic works fine with r6) then factory reset,wipe,dalvik cache and format system and flash the rom. I hope that should solve your problem. Otherwise you can always try stock kernel & rom suggested by mihahn
Try Pestanoid v3
Can you try this my ROM Pestanoid v3 ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905976
Just try another rom+kernel and remeber: You will have to do a factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik cache, but only format system if it's required in rom thread! Otherwise don't format it

Thanks for all, now it is solved with another rom and Mesa kernel. But now i am think to re-flash new rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269,

Stuck after SONY logo
I tried everything bt nothing is helpin me out to solve ths issue.
I flashed my cell again n again to stock ROM. bt, still my XMP is not able to boot or charge. I've repaired my cell through SUS, bt still same problem. what to do ?? I am on stock kernel n Stock ROM (ICS 4.1.B.0.587). My Bootloead is Locked.
Pls Reply ASAP.
First of all dont panic. you have NOT BRICKED ur phone.
Just flash any other kernel and any other ROM. your device should work fine...
Once I had the same problem.
The solution is flash your mobile with another kernel and wipe everything.
Use a custom rom.if nothing happen reunlock ur bootloder with testpoint method.

You can even flash on locked bootloader
So you download the stock firmware .ftf (for ics 4.1.B.0.587) for your device. (e.g. mini=st15=smultron, minipro=sk17=mango, active=st17=satsuma, livewithwalkman=wt19=coconut). Then you install flashtool and install all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool installation folder - drivers
Now you place the downloaded .ftf in flashtool - firmwares and delete all other files in there. Afterwards you launch flashtool
Now click on the flash - flashmode - select the .ftf - click okay - now turn off phone, take out battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert battery, hold volume down and while holding volume down simply connect phone via usb to your pc, the green led will light up and the flashing process starts. Now wait until it has finished, disconnect phone and boot it. Done :good:

[Q] X10 MP Unrootable? :(

Hey,
so.. I want to install a custom rom on my X10 mini pro. I have experience on doing this, because I already rooted many smartphones. But this one is just trolling me.
I used this tutorial (sorry, but it's german). Everything went well till Step 4.7.
I plug in the USB cable, let the flashtool get informations about the device, go to Plugins > Bootloader Unlock and run it.
Then I unplug the cable, start the device in flashmode and theeeen flashtool wants to start unlocking, but the device just shuts down for a moment (green light goes off) and then it reboots into flashmode again.
Here is the output from flashtool

I'd appreciate every kind of help!

Well, seems like I got it. I've installed a custom kernel (nAa 2.6) but now the device won't boot anymore
It stucks at the nAa-Bootscreen. What can I do now?

Can you tell me how? My pc doesn't detect the device if it's in the bootscreen. Do I have to go into the flashmode?
If yes, there's one little problem. I can't turn it off And if I pull out the battery and put it back in, then the device automatically starts into that bootscreen. ._______.
aaaaand.. I dont have any recovery installed O__o

Recovery is in the kernel, use that
Reboot is Home- and Powerbuttons together
If you use the JB-kernel It should boot into Recovery, if that doesn't happen flash the kernel again, that might do the trick. Otherwise you have to press the back-button repeatedly when the phone starts up.

Thanks alot. It helped. Now I am able to boot into recovery.
BUT! I can't install any rom!? I've tried LiteCM and PureSlim.
All I get is this message :
By the way - I installed this kernel now (U20_nAa-jb-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03)
I also tried to use the newest kernel (U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06), but I get the same result
And yes, I did a full wipe and formatted /system /cache and /data.
Now I am a bit helpless It's a JB Kernel and also JB Roms, so why won't they install? :'(
Edit : After trying and trying and trying I got the xperiabean installed.. Thanks again SmG <3

I think lightCM and PureSlim both look for kernel version 2.6.32.60. The Old JB kernel is 2.6.29.6 and the latest one (the 06) is 2.6.32.61. So you could edit the updater-script to reflect the correct version.

[Q] "InitialBootSetup" isnt responding

Hello all ...
i've had my XZU for approximately 2 months, left the phone on the table picked it to check it, and then the phone blacked out, i've reset it using power button/volume up, that didnt work out then i did the reset using the red button right next to the sim card that made it work but am receiving a black screen with the following massage "InitialBootSetup" isnt responding do you want to close it? "wait" and "ok" no matter which one i choose ... nothing happens still black screen, everything is still running in the background as i can still recieve whatsapp massages but i cant view them since the swipe top to bottom doesnt work, went to the sony world in my country (i bought my unit from another country) they told me its a defected unit
if its a defected unit, i dont mind sending it back to the original country to replace it, but i cant back it up! all of my data are on it and i cant access my device using the PC Companion nor the service update center,
PLEASE HELP!
Could you hot boot the v4 recovery boot image, using flash tool, to do a nandroid backup then pull the backup off using adt commands? or would that require a root and an UL bootloader?

I was hoping that someone with more experience and knew the commands would enlighten me and the OP, and say if it was even possible to do it without an unlocked bootloader
Still Suffering ...

Will the phone go into either flash mode or fastboot mode?
you will need to install flashtool and read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
1/ Try fastboot mode and use flashtool to hot boot a recovery kernel https://mega.co.nz/#!chQG0YTa!MR8D3A2FLM4KvOtXzqxHTHZrmUwSHBULDrJux8TpGEw)
- I don't know if this image will work... @hamdogg ?
- I don't know if this will work with a locked bootloader or not... Is your bootloader unlocked? Once in the recovery do a nandroid backup, possibly to an external sd card.
If that has worked I would then try the next step:
2/ If you can get into flash mode I would flash .532 ftf from this thread and start over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 - THIS WILL WIPE DATA
3/ If you got a nandroid backup from the first step and got a ftf flashed then use one of the nandroid tools to pull your user data out of the backup
I hope that some one with more experience will come along and tell you if any of that will work. #1 shouldn't wipe any data I don't think, but use at your own risk etc...

probably won't automatically boot using Fastboot, but yes that kernel would work. For a recovery boot.
I think keep it simple is the best option.
Power off your device off. Hold volume up and then Plug you're phone into you're pc.
Go to the Sony website, download the device drivers. (Google)
Download and open ' flashtool ' on your pc. Wait while more drivers are automatically downloaded via windows update.
Did that detect you're device? If not then you may need to return it.
Then also download flashtool divers. (google)
Then flash an FTF.
Done...
Read the threads on here so you become aware on how to work the software. Remember we can't do it for you, you have to research it yourself, and read yourself.
alrighty,
i've downloaded the files from the link, used the flashtool and got the following log:

I didn't know if the hotboot would work or not, but was worth a try, another option is to do a backup of your data via ADB. Have a read of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351. I don't know enough about ADB to say what commands to use, but you could do a full backup and a backup of just the user data (make sure to give them different names).
Once you have a backup of your data I would flash an FTF and start from fresh and restore one of the backups

Please Help. usb debugging disable and can not boot

Hi. My D6503 device shuted down suddenly and try to open you see writing up SONY down XPERIA on screen and does not go forward. i did this things:
1) i did hard reset. (volume down+power and volume up+power and push the red button until 3 times vibration)
2)i installed pc companion and used.
3) i used flashtool to flash orginal firmware to device but when it is flushing there is writing "reading device information" and does not go forward.
i think that every thing, every details is right that i did about this 3 solution. but it is not fixed.
i am not sure my device usb debuggin is enabled and is unlocked bootloader. i could not learn that because device does not open.
i have no idea how can fix that. i read a lot of things about that but i could not find. can you help me please? thanks
Please post log in flashtool when your plug in your device to pc

Did you use original cable from sony ?
Or maybe you have a bad cable ..
Or try to flash preroot frimware via twrp recovery then do factory reset
Sent from my D2105 using Tapatalk
i waited for 1-2 hours after the writing "reading device information" but nothings happen.
i also installed the Emma but when i try to connect Emma (turned of +volume down+usb plug in) i can not connect, nothings happen.
i installed drivers into drivers folder after flashtool was installed and when i attach the device (turn off, volume down) with usb to computer it was defined "SOMC Flash Device" below the device manager.
i used original cable but after your post i tried another cable unfortunately does not work. i searched how can i flash pre rooted firmware , i realized that you have to install twrp. but i can not find how is it install with flashtool. could you help me how can i install twrp with flashtool?

The lastest androplus kernel is v71, but that's okay .. Maybe that's error caused by your computer have two fastboot binary, one in flashtool, and one in other tool (example in minimal adb fastboot tool), if your machine have more than one fastboot, you can't use the fastboot to flash anything

i used another pc today and i just installed only flashtool not another program and i installed drivers into flashtool. i did eveything from the beginning and the same result i have. also flushing kernel. i guess usb debugging is disable so i can not do anything.
i can not lock bootloader because of usb debugging is disable. i can not flash the kernel because of bootloader locked.
if usb debugging is disable how can i recover?
