Hey Guys, so i never usually post because i can usually solve my own problems, but i think this time i've out done myself.
So last night when installing CM12.1 using TWRP my xperia Z2 everything was looking rosy. Then when I tried to turn the phone on to boot the first time it gave me just a single little vibe but would not turn on.
I've tried ALL combinations of button resets - Nothing
I've tried to re-flash a stock image using flashboot - Nothing - it won't recognise flash or download mode when i plug it into my computer while holding down volume down
I've tried holding the volume up button while plugging it into my computer to try FASTBOOT mode - Nothing - the blue LED on the top comes on, but neither OSX or WIN7 recognises anything has been plugged into the computer and it doesn't register on ./fastboot devices
So have I actually properly ****ed my device? Or am i missing something?
Any help would be so massively appreciated. Like i said, i usually never ask.
Did you try another cable? Blue LED is good, so fastboot mode should work.
When it would be bricked, there would be no blue LED...
Did you look into device manager on WIN7? Any device like "S1boot" or "Sony ADB Interface" there?
Sony logo showing up, when turning the phone on?
Try "fastboot reboot or "fastboot reboot bootloader" even though "fastboot devices" doesn't show up as anything (weird). It should boot back to bootloader and register your device. This happened to me once.
I think it's "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and i think it won't work...
Try
Try holding the power button and volume up button in until it vibrates. Then you should be able to hold power button and volume button to get to download mode. This works on mine when all else fails, lol.
Hi guys,
I was following various guides on here to install the cyanogenmod 11.0 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639 and I have run into an issue.
I put the gapps zip and the ROM zip into the internal storage of the phone. I then typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" into cmd and that went OK. When that was done, I did "fastboot reboot." The phone then showed the Sony logo screen (although it is different from the one I am used to seeing - it shows XPERIA STE at the bottom, but I assume this is normal?), then this screen turned off and on again repeatedly. I then mashed the volume up key and eventually it entered into the CWM recovery. I then selected to install the ROM zip, it did some loading and installing and stuff, as expected. The same Sony XPERIA STE screen came on again, and keeps turning on and off. This time however, I cannot get into CWM recovery mode.
If I hold the power button and volume up, it vibrates once, then the screen comes on and off again. If I hold the power button and volume up, wait for the single vibration and keep holding, it vibrates three times and is then completely off. If i plug it into the computer, the screen comes on and off. If I plug it into the computer and hold the volume up, it enters fastboot mode without trouble.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Press the power button repeatedly to enter TWRP recovery. Then, wipe everything except sd card/internal storage. Then, install the rom as usual.
I tried to enter download mode through recovery mode since I couldn't find the proper key combination for the M31 online. But now it's stuck in a black screen with nothing but the words 'entering fastboot' on top. I can't restart it.
I've enabled developer options and OEM unlock but that's all I did.
Press the power button for a long time (A minute at most)
Thank you!

yo it isnt working pls help me out
Just documenting my (M315FXXU2ATJ9) solution (found through trial and error) in case this happens to somebody.
This is what worked for me:
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB
2. Hold down VOL_UP + VOL_DN + POWER for 10 seconds
Your M31 will turn off and the charging logo will appear.
You can now simply disconnect the USB cable and turn it on normally.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I had updated my M315F to official OneUI4.1, but I am having battery issues and the phone is bit laggy, so I decided to revert to OneUI3.1 using Odin tool, however on entering the recovery mode and getting into "Reboot to bootloader", device stucks at "Entering fastboot....", and its unresponsive as download mode doesn't start. The first time I did without unlocking the OEM, but even after unlocking the OEM and entering the bootloader, it says "Entering fastboot...., so again restarting phone and repeating the same process. Download mode doesn't start.
Is there anyway to reboot to download mode?
Thanks in advance
Help is much appreciated
Regards
Hi!
M4 Aqua, E2303
Brief history, what I did before:
- On a full stock OS, first, I unlocked bootloader with fastboot oem unlock, which went through nicely.
- After that, I followed this thread to install custom recovery (twrp). Went through nicely (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img).
- I was able to boot into recovery (twrp), and with the Install function, selecting Conceptify .zip it installed, rebooted.
- On the boot, the Conceptify gear logo was stuck spinning for a very long time. Then I just tried going into TWRP again to install Conceptify again, maybe for the second try it installs without the boot issue.
After this, I was no longer able to enter twrp recovery again. Okay, tried to flash the .img's again (boot and recovery), maybe I can at least get into TWRP recovery again, but no luck, despite both flash commands going through (both sending, writing were OKAY), without errors.
Current symptoms at this point:
- I still can get into fastboot (vol Up + usb plug in; LED red, then blue), and my PC can recognize the phone being in fastboot correctly, with serial number (in fastboot devices). It can still perform the flash/erase commands, but whenever I try fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot-bootloader, it doesn't reboot the phone. At this point, fastboot devices gives back a device in fastboot mode, but with a lot of question marks (?) instead of the serial number. On unplugging it, LED stays blue, like it is frozen or somthing. I kill the phone off with the power cutoff switch (next to microsd).
- holding just Power to turn on phone: Sony logo on the white background and is stuck. After a while I kill off with power cutoff.
- holding Power + vol Up, it vibrates once every 2 seconds or so. Nothing on screen, when I stop holding the buttons, stop vibrating. It however stays in a weird state, cause I can't get into fastboot for example (vol down + usb plug in; like I can do when it was powered off completely). I kill off with power cutoff.
- holding Power + vol Down: Sony logo on the white bkg, and stuck. After a while I kill off with power cutoff.
- tried the all-button hold: Power + vol Down + vol Up for 30 seconds, it was just vibrating every 2-seconds.
- flashmode with Flashtool: I downloaded a stock .ftf, loaded into FlashTool, but upon asking to connect the phone while holding vol Down, it can't detect it. The phone however lights red, then green on the LED light. Tried with both a new Flashtool (0.9.32.0, and a recommended older one as well: 0.9.18.6).
Is there something else I could try to get a working TWRP recovery again, and be able to boot into it?
Thanks for your help!
My M4 (E2312) have pretty much the same symptoms: can not boot anything and just stuck on SONY logo, Flashtool does not recognize phone in flashmode (Vol -), just fastboot. And using fastboot to flash system, boot, recovery shows finished processes but phone does nothing new. And phone does not response well to USB, only after a reset then it updates the status.
I have Pexo ROM v3, custom TWRP, SkyMelon 9 I think,Rooted SuperSU and Magisk( has conflicts so when I boot some pop up says X app has stopped working. When I install some more apps to use it was ok, then the pop ups show up more and more and then it decides to boot loop to the stage we are now.
I have tried install 0.9.33 and 0.9.23.1( somehow only 0.9.23.1 can install 3 drivers), Xperia Companion, Emma, ggsetup 3.2.0.1, Driver SONY so0104 (so0113 ADB interface- status show it cannot start),
So either it is the drivers on computer, the computer USB ports, the phone's software or hardware defects lead to software that caused it.

Yes, I also tried installing conceptify but it doesnt work. At this point its better if you stick with the stock rom, remove as much bloatware as possible and consider it a phone because almost none of the ROMs here work stability wise, or they maybe stable but some features like display brightness or speakers dont work. So I recommend you install stock rom via flashtool and then unlock the bootloader via flashtool again and install twrp again. Also if possible try reinstalling the drivers for the phone in flashtool. Hope this works mate.

Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately, I still can't make Flashtool recognize my M4 as booted in flashmode. Tried installing the drivers with \Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe , but choosing the "Flashmode drivers" option, it failed during the install (I guess cause there wasnt a connected device that supports it), tried both with phone being connected in flashmode (volDown + plug-inUSB), and phone disconnected as well.

Can you try it on a Linux PC I guess?
sm-t870 unlocked/rooted stuck in bootloop
cannot enter recovery or download mode, or even seem to shut the tablet completely off.
any combination of buttons turns the tablet on with the message "bootloader is unlocked press power key to continue"
so holding power+volUP, must be let go to press power which seems to interrupt the button combination
power+volDOWN seems to shut the tablet off for 5 seconds but it automatically turns back on.
having plugged into laptop seems to make no difference.
help!
Hi man, have you fixed this issue? I'm having the exact same problems as yours. I updated my Magisk it just went bootloop.
Thanks!
Plug into PC then Power+Volume Up got me into recovery mode
