I rooted my sony z2 phone with king root and then replaced it with supersu apk
they told me to reboot my sony and after rebooting my phone turns on but it stays on the flashing colours for ages! They told me to try the pc companion repair thing but it wont even connect. its been on the colour thing for like an hour
and am willing to not lose my data
Any help please
download and install Flashtool for Xperia, go to the Drivers folder under C: Program files/Flashtool/drivers , then download Z2 5.0.2 FTF and connect your phone to flashtool, and flash it
However, you might have to lose your data, since the phone's internal memory IS wiped during this process.
If your data is on the external SD card, then you are perfectly safe, just make sure to remove it before flashing anything.

Can I format the SD card without it ruining my phone?
will this mean i loose root access or anything like that?
Will the phone itself index the SD card with folders that it needs?
--
asking since im unable to repair the phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0.
but am able to reinstall the firmware using seus.
well i just tried it out, formatting the card seems to work fine, looks like the phone itself creates the folders it needs when it needs it.
not sure how i can see if the phone is still rooted, since superuser and all that is removed from the sd card now.
---new---
so if anyone could tell me a way to see if the phone is rooted it would be much helpfull.
and could someone say how cellphone repaire shops see if the phone is rooted
try to install superuser.apk and a terminal and then type su in the terminal, if you get #, then your phone is still rooted. but i think it'll be rooted, but the only thing you're missing is the superuser app
okay.
I´m asking since im selling the phone, and the guy would like it unrooted.
so atm it´s as unrooted as possible ? since we got no recovery for it yet.
We do have recovery, just not custom recovery.
Use either PC Companion or SEUS, plug in the phone, select Update, it'll tell you that you have the latest version already, but there should be an option to force the update / repair, which should put you back to the default firmware without any mods

Okay, I cant get the PC companion to work, it gives an error when I try to repair (thats after it have prepared and downloaded the file, errors comes when it tries to install it) Seus works fine, reinstalled the firmware it.
Thanks a lot guys
---tried on a different pc and it worked :S
my cell phone is stuck at the SE logo.i was doing some "experiments" on xrecovery when i choose some option(dont remember i think it was format system). i cant connect it to SEUS or flash tool or pc companion.
note: when i connect it to the charger the cell turns on but it is stuck on the SE logo.when i connect it on the pc it doesnt do anything!! any ideas?????
You messed up big time. Why would you format the system without an image to replace it with?!?! The files for recovery are in the system as well and you totally erased everything. I don't know what you could do now if you can't get in flash mode. There is a warning about that option in the thread so why would you think it was a good "experiment" to format your system? I mean 'Format System' is pretty self explanatory. I think you are SOL, try and hit up Z and see what he says.

Did you use system wipe? If so your probably going to need to repair with Seus and start over. I don't remember a format system option but system wipe I do. I could be wrong though and I'm too lazy to reboot to xrecovery to check. I do believe you should be able to access flashmode even if you did wipe and leave it that way.

There is a 'format system' option. I believe its under advanced or one of the other submenus. A 'Full Wipe (factory reset)' you can restore. Formatting the system removes the system folder where recovery files are stored and formats everything. There is an explicit warning in the thread not to use that option.

OK I stand corrected. I do believe however that if the Sony Ericsson screen shows the bootloader is still active and you should be able to use flashtool to fix it.

take the battery out, and start the flasher, point to the firmware you want to flash
insert batery, hold <- (BACK) KEY ans plug the usb
should be flashing because your boot is ok
you should flash with an official rom 2.1 (my advise) because contains baseband and all files necessary to a good boot
reflash your BB firmware. Try to use the same one as you originally had or as close as possible. There are plenty of guides here on how to do it.
Hi have ran into the same issue a while ago.
I have been playing & swapping ROM on my HTC Desire for more than 6 months, so I decided to play my Xperia 10i.
The problem I had was I was changing Cyanogen to MIUI and I was in Xrecovery, doing full wipe, system format and I accidently do a reboot. And it as what stuck as SE Logo screen.
I am trying now to flash using FTF, and SEUS.
I will post it later when I have any progress.
UPDATES:
SEUS said that my phone software is up to date. However, I am doing a force update again. Looks good, the software is currently downloading.....
UPDATES:
Managed to salvage and unbrick my Xperia using SEUS back to 2.1.
Now redo the Busybox and Xrecovery again.

That process is quite quick, just use flashtool to install those files.
Next time make sure you read the flashing instructions clearly before flashing a custom rom to prevent troubles.
And DON'T use the format system function in xRecovery as you would screw everything up.

i experienced the same problem. I got flash tool and i used it to flash my x10i.
i unchecked the "wipe user data" option and then flashed with the generic firmware (because that is what i was using). i have all my old apps on it after the flash
My x10i is now back to normal..
can't identify my x10 with flash tool
hii there..i just bought my x10 and stupidly formatted system!! im trying to use flash tool..but how can it recognize my phone as it still stuck on SE logo?!!
pls....help
and how can i flash a ROM using it
Keep calm, you CAN fix it with PC Companion, just open PC Companion, click on firmware update (or something like that) its going to tell you that there isn't a phone connected then click on repair phone (or something like that, it appears like a blue hyperlink) and follow the instructions.
You need to have at least 50% battery before attempting this.
I have screwed my phone and fixed it twice xD
Next time make a Backup with xrecovery it will save you more than once :O

i have x10 mini pro and by mistake equid rom gingerxperia v8 from that time i turn on my mobile phone and it stucks where it says "sony ericsson"(welcome screen)I log on x-recovery but its corrupted and i use my cell phone.Thanks for listening hope you give me a solution.
Hmm. It could be that you need to reflash the phone. Thankfully this is fairly straightforward on our device. You just need Sony Ericsson Update Service, otherwise known as SEUS. Download it from the SE website, along with PC Companion if you don't already have the phone's drivers on your computer, run it...wait a few minutes...and your phone's been reset.
You will lose all your data on the phone, apart from anything on the SD card, but there's no way round that. I'm assuming you backed up before you tried the ROM..?
Gentlemen, I couldn't find a section for Xperia Pro, please excuse me if this is misplaced.
I rooted my MK16i from ICS 4.0. according to a guide here on XDA forum, with no problems (from 4.1.a.435 .. i think).*
Then I installed system tuner and backed up the bloatware and what I believed was obviously named as packages that support them. Things were working great and the phone gained some performance improvements.
UNTIL, I installed Viber and Skype, and niether were working. I thought I would fix it by restoring all the backed up services and apps. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, it became useless
THe phone keeps rebooting. I get to the XPERIA loading screen and then it restarts again
I tried to connect it to the PC to flash another ROM with the Flashtool, but it is not recognized. All I get is in the computer screen a removable disk drive, that is not accessible.
Note: I didnt update the firmware after I rooted.
Can anybody help?
have you worked with flashtool before ? because there hardly could be any wrong with flashtool. use the latest version with proper drivers.
and since you have rooted phone, have you unlocked your bootloader ? if yes, then flash any custom kernel, go to CWM, then place rom zip on sdcard and stright flash rom via CWM.
flashtool should work though. you can try on different computer.
If flashing a kernel or installing custom ROM sounds a bit out-of-reach, you can always go for the repair option in PC Companion. It worked for me when I had soft-bricked my Neo V (it wouldn't go past the SONY logo). However, be advised that this repair option will erase your phone's internal memory. Also, your phone will be brought on the latest stock ROM, so you will need to root your phone again.
Good Luck!!! :good:

I tried to do somethingn like this but sony companion itself cannot detect the phone either.
My question is, is there a brick that cannot be fixed? I took it to a shop today and still they cannot fix it.
Have you tried to use sony update service?
How are you connecting your phone to flashtool?
Can you show us log from flashtool?
New development:
Now I tried to flash the phone with flashtool 32bit rather than 64-bit and it detected the phone! I could even flash the only firmware in Aeonworld's post Here.
Now I can see the phone connected in my computer.
However, the phone still won't boot but when I power on it gives black screen and after a short while, the led on the side becomes green.
For some reason though, I cannot continue with the rooting steps in his guide.
So anyways, after the second reboot, not the first for some reason, the phone gets detected in PC Companion, and I installed the update and now it is working again :victory:
Thank you all for your support.

Good to hear that bro!!! R&D always makes a man better
Hello there,
I own an Xperia Z2 (D6503) and I wanted to upgrade it to 6.0.1. I had it rooted so to prevent from losing it I made a PRF and installed it with teamwin (like I have done with previous updates). Once installation finished I rebooted the device which started properly. The problem is that stuck in the starting "wave" thing for 2 hours (the waves were moving but nothing than this). Then I reset the device by the hidden Reset button and powered it up again. It did the same. After all the disappointment I tried to restore it using Flashtool but it says that the drivers of the device need to be installed (while they are already installed).
Please help me somehow. Thanks a lot.
repair with pc companion.
