boot loop
Hello,
since yesterday my M4 E2303 is stuck in a boot loop. It just displays Sony xperia on a black screen and reboots. I did already a factory reset using the PC-Companion, but without any success. Has anybody an idea what other options do I have to trouble shoot? I've never used customized firmware.

try this...press volume up and volume down and power on/off same time, for 30 seconds
Thank you, I tried it. It vibrates but everything else stays the same.
This happened to me too. My phone booted after I connected it to my computer and then booted while keeping power+vol up. After a while it got past the Xperia logo
Thank you,
while I did not get the result I'm hoping for, at least I got some reaction. The LED turned blue and I found now a new fastboot device. Hopefully I can use the fastboot connection to get more information.

I fixed my sony m4 Aqua by simply putting it in the freezer, you should try it, it is the processor that is overheating I also tried firmware and everything else but the phone worked fine for about another day

hello
I had same problem yesterday and today, for no reason heated a bit (maybe over 50 degrees ) and rebooted, but after some time didn't want to boot again, just waited to cool down and boot to success
my recommendation is that after booting Android install an CPU tuner (if you are rooted) and low max speed for big and little, it does not heat so much and performs quite well
my M4 heated over 70 Celsius degrees, quite uncomfortable to keep it in hand
helo
now my problems with overheating and reboots are even bigger, doesn't want to boot , reflashed with flashtool, without excluding and without wipe from recovery, and done a factory reset, problems not solved, no root for now, just custom recovery, disabled wi-fi and bluetooth, in location/scanning, and usage info, in about phone, still heats up and reboots , if I use the phone after 5 minutes reboots, cpu-z detects temps from 45 to 65 without running apps, battery is on 37 degrees, I have to cool it in cold water(hey its winter and -13 degrees outside) but still takes some time to reach under 30, in about 2 minutes reaches 27
tomorrow I will wipe everything from recovery and flash again with flashtool
but...
I dunno what to do if it doesn't work, I'm thinking to throw it to garbage, very disappointed by this phone
while I writhed above text, the phone was charging and rebooting and rebooting and rebooting .............
update
got mad and wiped everything, flashed Lollipop 26.1.A.3.111, didn't want to boot, flashed TWRP recovery, made factory reset from recovery, booted, still heats up from 56 to 62, and got 2 reboots
but... after some minutes after second reboot something happened, temp dropped under 50 degrees from 39 to 46, still warm but no reboots ( cross fingers to stay like that ) but Big cluster is staying to 960 MHz and doesn't want to drop lower only goes up from time to time, Little cluster works normal ( watching cpu-z for about half hour ) for now works, still a bit warm but not too hot
no root for now
on Marshmallow 26.3.A.1.33 temps jumped up and down too fast in one second from 55 to 59 and back to 58 and up to 61 and reboot without cpu or gpu usage , some times gone over 70, flashed an wiped and flashed Marshmallow and nothing
wiped and flashed Lollipop 26.1.A.3.111 and thought it will do same but it got back working "normal" I hope, dunno what to think
after Marshmallow update I rooted by flshing boot.img don't remember witch su version and by mistake I updated all apps in Playstore but managed to repair it by flashing another boot.img and doing an clean up from settings in su app, all apps managed to get right su rights, and a bunch of su checkers from Playstore detected that su is present in the right place sys bin xbin vendor bin etc but phone started to reboot and really heated up
hello......
my phone died............ so farewell Sony and M4Aqua, actually I don't know if it's Sony fault, Qualcom is to blame for crappy soc, it bootloops over and over again and heats up like hell
flashed all stock roms I found and nothing
I can't get into recovery
Bro, Flash stock rom with Flashtool, with selected "USER_DATA", and "APPS_LOG", and after flash wait 20-25 minutes to boot
Absolutely same thing with me. I flashed all stock roms that I found and still stuck in bootloop. The only one that boot normaly is CM13 but WiFi, bluetooth and camera not working at all.

Hello!
I have a strange problem with my phone it wont update to latset firmware without get in some kind of boot loop.
The phone was runing the lastest firmware 1232.5962.1314.0017 before the problems started, it all started when some systems apps like camera, settnings, messeging. etc, stop working. All that showed up when entering the apps was a black screen say something like "reconnecting" and then it jumped back to home screen.
So I restarted the phone but then went in som kind of reboot loop where it wouldent go past the nokia logo. I tried everything soft reset, hard reset. The last thing I tried was to reflash the phone, I tried diffrent ROMs and it finaly worked with the ROM 059Q5C6 RM-821 GLOBAL BLACK SWAP.
The phone is runing now and almost all functions work exept camera and automatic brightness (all that I discoverd so far).
Its currently running the 1231.5951.1249.1004 firmware.
But like I said now when I try the update the phone it goes to the same boot loop state.
What should i try next?
Is the thread in the right place?

Same thing happens to my phone!! Did not think that it could be the latest firmware (1308 for me) could have caused it since I don't think there are a lot of us affected by it and my phone has been running fine for months after the update! I've restored 5 times, by the time I thought to flash it, it wouldn't charge anymore.... I'd sent mine for repair now... Have you fixed yours?
I have Prestigio PAP 4500 with Clockwork mod recovery installed. I have installed custom 4.0.4 ROM on it and it worked well for about a year. Yesterday the device started to heat up in upper part(I think wireless module is stored there, as WiFi usage also heated that part). It also started to drain energy very fast - it already was 10% down few minutes after unplugging from overnight charging. I've though some process might be using 100% power so I tried rebooting. It got stuck in android loading screen for over an hour before I decided to remove battery.
I've tried to use clockwork menu to return to factory settings, wipe partitions. Didn't help. I've tried installing stock another rom(PAP 4500T DUO JB 4.2.2 by serg v4.1 Final port Lenovo, "сток"). It also got stuck in Android loading screen. After that I returned to stock rom and it is stuck on eReader Prestigio app ad, which Prestigio shows during loading.
When stuck on that screen upper part of the phone heats up a lot. The battery is not getting warm. I know that after changing rom it might take longer for device to boot, but I have waited for 1 hour or more each time. I've also tried booting without SD card and SIM card.
What else can I do to possibly make the device work? XDA Assist said it might be hardware issue, if so it would be nice if I could do something more to diagnose it.
Hello!
A few days ago, I used CM12 Unofficial with Android 5.0 and ArchiKernel, and it worked fine. While I was using it, the phone turns off and reboots. Showed the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" logo and rebooted, in a bootloop.
I flashed the rom back, wiped all, and nothing, the bootloop still happened. I flashed it with Odin, to Android 4.1.2. The phone works, but when I use it some minutes turns off and goes into a bootloop. When I run an Antutu Benchmark also turns off.
Researching and playing with kernels, adb, and roms, I discovered that turns off when the processor runs at over 1200MHz. This happens with every kernel, also stock.
What happens and how can I make it work normally again? Thanks

The problem was the battery. After changing the battery the phone worked fine again.
It's obviously a hardware fault, you can't fix it.
Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.

If you used the pre-rooted zip to maintain root while updating to the latest android, this will fix your rebooting problem. Follow this guide:

Hello,
As we know Marshmallow update arrived , I had no problem recieving MM update to my E2353. i updated the phone using sony companion and it updated normal, nothing occured , i didn't made any mistakes..nothing.
So after update it turned off and boot up like normally it do,
First boot up took long time , like 20-30 mins and phone heated for some extent.
I did normal stuff such as connecting wifi etc, after that i restarted and it took around 20-40 mins to turn on again...
after turning on battery life is very poor..also every sensor of the phone are not working, no auto rotation, nothing.. now every time i turn it on it take 20-40 mins, battery is awful, it feel like its dieing after the MM update
couldnt find anyone with this problem with official update at all.
NOTE : i did rooted this an year ago without any problems and unrooted it after doing so without any problems.
i recieved MM original update.
current build no - 26.3.A.0.131
i've reinstalled (resetted) using sony update service which redownload the MM . it had no effect
Thank u very much !
Try flashing the marshmallow rom from XperiaFirm, it's a pretty easy process, look it up on google

Did that, it's still the same... boot up takes long ass time still :/
factory reset
and if not working, try to shut down your phone for a minute and power on again
