My phone is not restarting. I am using a Samsung Vibrant T959.
I really love the phone since it a gift from my sister and I hope i can fix it. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 firmware, but last month I installed ICS on my phone after which I started receiving me errors.I guess the ICS version i installed was not very stable. Usually restarting the phone would fix the problems and I would be good to go. However last evening when I got the error I restarted the phone 2 times but I would still receive the errors. The 3rd time I restarted it, the phone got stuck on the animation screen and did not boot.
I tried the recovery mode and it worked fine.
I took a backup of my data using the USB debugging mode of the phone.
Since I was irritated with this version of ICS i tried to root my phone using Odin.
Odin failed. The phone was stuck on the downloading screen for some time so i disconnected the phone from my computer and now the phone will not start.
It does not boot, it does not go the recovery mode nor the download mode. when I press the power button or the three buttons (volumn and power) together the screen shows a mobile phone a computer and a disconnect between the three (Phone ! PC sign).
I do not know how to fix it. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Closing this thread so that your duplicate can progress.
Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

I did try this but can't find a reliable download.
The link posted in XDA forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934) takes me to MegaUpload and for some reason the download always stalls at 44% (I've tried 3 times).
Just soft brick!!!
Just search for ftf and flashtool anywhere in internet

You're on the wrong forum mate, for the z2 go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2
Please don't try to flash any .ftf file you downloaded from the xperia z forum, as this would hard brick your phone. Search for it in the link I posted.
Good luck

I'm very pleased to say that this worked. Thanks!
Now, I think I might just persevere with the stock ROM for now and enjoy my new phone.
Thanks again to everyone who helped.

Hello XDA family
So, i'll start from the beginning of my issues with my xperia Z2, allmost two weeks of reasearch but nothing. I bought this phone preused and with broken digitizer, fixed everything and turned it on, booted up and everything was fine. Phone offered update wich i did and it was the beginning of my troubles. Boot loop was first thing, and few other things wich lead me into buying new genuine battery. I literally spent a day to get out of boot loop by disconnecting the battery, tried to reset and all sorts of thing and still don't know which of those many things actually worked but i got it booted up finally.
So yesterday i took it out of the box again and thought to update it to latest 5.1.1 Lollipop via wifi because i can't get phone into flashmode, so while installing update (android logo with blue loading line) my phone turned off. I turned it on again and same thing, android logo with blue loading line half done and turned off, and again and again. Finally disconnected the battery, connected usb cable to the wall charger, connected battery and red light poped on, so i let phone to charge, after few hours i turned my phone ON and voila, somehow i got latest android installed.. go figure.
When i bought this phone the rear camera didn't work, i saw the icons but didn't take any picture. Did cache clear and other tricks i found from google but nothing works, im not sure but i guess this issue came when last owner updated it from kitkat to lollipop.
So heres my biggest problem, to downgrade z2 to kitkat i need to flash it, but i can't..
When phone is on my pc will recognize it.
When power + VolDown, green led pops on (flashmode) and after few secons i get usb device not recognized. (Tryied some tricks that i found from google, no succsess)
When power + VolUp, blue led pops on (fastboot mode) and flashtool is actually connecting with the phone like it's suppose to be.
Im using Flashtool Version 0.9.19.8 and all necessary drivers are installed, included sony ones. I also Tried different usb ports and different pc, same thing.

Hi guys. So I have been going through xda and Google for hours and hours trying solutions, to no avail. I almost never post on forums for help because I can usually find the solution. Not this time. This is my last resort next to throwing my phone out a window or praying for death's sweet release.
The facts: I have a rooted Xperia Z3v. I tried to upgrade TWRP in order to follow some directions on upgrading to Nougat. I flashed TWRP from 2.8.X.X to 3.X.X.X. I rebooted and it never made it to the Sony logo. Now, if I plug the phone in to either a wall socket or PC it vibrates, endlessly at three second intervals, each time with red LED. If I try to enter flash mode, then its the same but with a brief green led after the red. I can enter fastboot (the only way to stop it vibrating while plugged in) and my PC sees it, including Flashtool, but since my bootloader is locked permanently, I can't really do much with it.
When plugged into the wall-charger, I noticed that the charger's LED changes from "Active" to "Inactive" with every vibration. I'm pretty sure I'm in a reboot loop. The screen is totally dead and there's no logo, but every three seconds it kills it self and comes back.
I have tried everything I could think of.
What I have:
I have the stock firmware ready to go
I have TWRP backups on SD card and PC
I have Flashtool
I think my drivers are good, but not 100% sure
I can fastboot
I'm at my wit's end and losing hope.
Please, I'm open to any suggestions at all.
Helloooo,
I have a big problem, cant get my phone running again.
The sad thing is, I just got it 4 hours ago
So heres what I have done to my Phone:
I rooted it with Kingo-Root and then installed a app where TWRP was listed, there also was CWM and stuff and I thought I have to flash my phone there with TWRP to install a new ROM and stuff and I clicked there on flash.
Then it asked me if I want to restart in, I cant remember recovery and/or download mode, I clicked yes and from there the trouble began.
When it starts the Coolpad Logo appears, then it say "Download and install the package?", to confirm volume up, to abort volume down. If I press abort, it just goes off, the restart may leads to the battery charging screen ( usb cable is always connected!!), if I press volume up, it says "Information - Do not disconnect data cable", but it says it for forever, nothing happens.
If data cable isnt connected, it shows Logo and then goes off, doesnt do anything.
I wish I would have never done that, Im too stupid for stuff like that.
Can someone help me out?
Hopefully
Hi are you able to enter in TWRP recovery in orden to try to flash him back to stock rom ?
Sadly no
I read some stuff on the internet, and tried it:
I installed andoid studio on my PC, with all that drivers, connected the Phone to my PC and looked it up in the device manager.
Before it was just recognized as "Other devices - Android" without any information, now I had the Hardware ID and put that into the setup text of Google drivers and installed them.
My PC somekind recognizes the phone. (but not like normally)
Maybe i can get the Stock Rom to phone that way somehow?
Edit: its called adb interface in device manager
Now I tried to set up the stock-rom via YGDP, and well, it kinda worked.
Im now out of this mode.
If I start the phone it makes its starting sound and it response to "key"-presses by vibrating, but, no screen, its just pitch black.
Its not listed in device-manager anymore.
Any suggestions?
bad support.

That is probably because you flash incompatible firmware which does not recognize display of your device .
Search on the internet for another genuine rom and repeat flashing process .
I had alsmost same issue when I flashed Blu Studio D572i with rom of D572a as I remember , was black screan completely but buttons are working (showing light) .
