Hello guys.
Hoping on your truly support. Have the problem, which cannot solve by myself.
Was trying to flash boot.img from CWM recovery 6.0.3.0 via fastboot. It flashes succesfully, but after rebooting the tablet it doesnt show any signs of life. Was trying EMMA for solving , Flashtool to change kernel, but when plug it through usb, it haven't launched and PC don't recognize any device connected. When i press Vol+ Vol- Power at the same time LED lights with white 3 times and that all.
Was using rooted Lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader.
Is there any possibility to reanimate it or its finished totally.
Regards.
Edit.
Many thnx 2 Alok Bajaj for his solution:
Here's what you can do..
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button for ten seconds until you see a white light flashing three times. While doing this somewhere around in 5 seconds you'll see white led flashing once, but keep on pressing those buttons till it flashes next three times.
After that your tablet will be turned Off.
You can put your device in flash mode and flash a new ROM from Xperia flash tool.
If you get the error "Unknown sources and USB debugging must me enable for flash mode, then your option can be to flash the ROM from fastboot.
Download a ROM (CyanogenMod or any with custom recovery).
Flash the boot.img via fastboot and reboot your device.
Once done you should see a led lit up while the device is booting (pink/magenta color in case of CyanogenMod).
Press the volume up/down button and you should be able to go to recovery mode.
From here you can recover your device easily
And before you do anything make sure you've charged your device well.
Good luck
Cheers mate!
hi,
thanks for the tutorial, I try it but*don`t see the second three blue blinks how long usually*takes to wait for them
Hi there! I think I have hardbricked my tablet (SGP321) too. The thing is, mine won't start, no matter what I press and do. If I press the power button it blinks white and if I press the UP button with it, it blinks three times. After that nothing happens. If I connect a USB to it, it just flickers first red and then green. And thats it.
I tried to flash [7.1] CyanogenMod 14 [POLLUX/POLLUX_WINDY][UNOFFICIAL] by CaHbKaUp and chose the Pollux Version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/rom-cyanogenmod-14-t3496758. I also flashed the recommended GApps.
I whiped the sd-card in recovery (twrp) first and then flashed the new rom and GApps.
I think I chose the wrong version, maybe? I flashed my tablet once and I thought I could do it again, the same way as before. Guess I was wrong.
If there is anything I can do to get this back to work, please respond!
with regards

Just ran into the same problem. So there are stil people looking
Didn't know about the bootloader.
Has Android 5.1.1 Stock rom,
rooted it
installed XZDualrecovery from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Then it showed up twrp and I flashed lineage-14.1-20170417-UNOFFICIAL-pollux.zip
ticked "reboot" and ??? nothing
So what are the steps now to get it running again?

Reflash device with Flashtool.
You can't flash custom ROMs with XZDR recovery.

i was using some jelly bean sony rom by divaksh (it had cwm touch) and i wanted to try the new cm10.2 rom by munjeni
i downloaded the cm10.2, put it on my external sd card through a usb micro-sd reader and then put the µsd back in the phone
i selected "reboot to recovery" from the phone's power menu (i had an xposed module for more power menu options)
then i noticed that the phone didn't reboot, but it had turned off completely
i held the power button and the phone vibrated but didn't power on
it powered on on the second try, i then went to the cwm recovery by tapping the volume down key
(i was going to make a backup of the current system, but i forgot it lol)
i flashed the cm10.2 zip (cm10.2_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.1.zip) without doing any wipes, because i wanted to get to the correct version of cwm recovery
(i would've properly done the wipes/formats from the cwm recovery that is in the cm10.2 kernel)
it finished flashing the zip and i rebooted my phone, but then it didn't power on anymore
now when i hold down the power button, the phone makes a short vibration but nothing else
.
if i plug the phone to a charger, the led lights up (red) for approximately a second and then turns off
if i hold down "volume-down" and the power button, the phone vibrates once and flashes the led (green)
i've tried going into flashmode and fastboot mode but the light doesn't stay on for long and sony mobile flasher doesn't even notice the phone even though the drivers are installed
the "hold down power button and vol-up"-thing also works but it doesn't seem to do anything else than vibrate
what should i do?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If yes then flahs

what?
Is it unlocked?
When I bricked my xperia p I flashed a custom kernel which allowed me to enter Cwm and then flashed the stock rom. I am new to this flashing thing so I recommend that you ask someone experienced what to do. I just shared my experience of recovering from a softbrick. Don't flash new things blindly but ask someone experienced before doing so.

Have you used flashtool to flash firmware before on that PC?
Have you installed flashtool and it's drivers (sola, flash & fastboot mode).?
Make sure the phobe is off, press power + volume up untill you feel 1 + 3 vibrations and see if it stay in flash mode longer.
Just Flash stock
i have nearly the same problem
my xperia u was running with 4.1 then i restored my ta backup its mine not for someone else then i pressed reboot instead of power off then my phone is dead no vibration no led except the one when i plug it to charger just one red led then nothing

how? the phone doesn't boot and flashtool doesn't recognize it
Same problem here, I think that Munjeni's post is bad written.
Ok, I fixed it, follow my instructions as they goes. You have to flash the .img kernel that CM10.2.zip comes from.
For flashing it, go as follows...
First try to install the following drivers, with Flashtool. The executable is in C:\\Flashtool\drivers
Run as adminsitrator and follow screen instructions, allow any driver install.
When it's ready, try to plug in the phone in fastboot mode (turn off, hold power and vol up and release power button, led has to turn blue/violet/pink, whatever, a color like that)
Run flashtool.
Flashtool will recognize the phone as the log says, if its not try to install drivers mannually.
If it's recognized then click the black lightning button and select fast boot mode.
At the right side click "Select kernel to flash" and browse the kernel that comes in the .zip. (in the file you've downloaded you have to extract a boot.ini because is the main kernel to make the ROM work, so you have to put somewhere else, I prefer desktop)
When selected, log writes all the procedure until it show an "OKAY[time]" message.
Finally click "Reboot device into system" in the center side and wait until boots.
It should be working now, I spent a lot of hours investigating, but finally I fixed, hope it works for you too!
If there's an error or some question, feel free to post.

That was "the long run" for windows-guys.
For Linux - no drivers needed anyways - just download fastboot from anywhere and look for kernel. Put them in a personal directory. Open and run in a terminal (some have to be login as su) "fastboot flash boot kernel.img" (or whatever kernel is called...), plug phone in usb, while press and hold power and volume-up buttons. Blue LED comes shining and terminal tell you the flashing.
Unplug or type "fastboot reboot" to re-start phone.
Sure, you also can use FlashTool, too. But for only flashing a kernel it is not needed. Only for flashing stockrom ftf. But this is another story.
i happens to me yesterday
Hi ! Dont worry u r not the first to face this problem i also face this problem yesterday.. my phone was on JB 4.1.2 i download custom ICS rom and install it through CWM Recovery mode, when my new custom Rom starts it stucks on Boot screen and then nothing happens i tried but my phone was in danger... i was worried then i install flash tool and downlaod ICS Rom for Flastool and install that after severals trys i was now ion ICS v4.0.4..

If I wrote for Windows 8 there will be more than that, believe me. Managing Android with Linux is a lot easier, from flashing to programming.
But, face it, Windows is the standard here.

First, sorry for my bad English!!
I was using Stock ROM 6.1.1.b.1.10 with Phantom Kernel and do a little change in apps, then suddenly stupid me want to update to Google Bean Z (u can find in Go Development) without recovery neither flash back to Stock. Now my phone's bricked. Every time I boot, it stucks at Phantom Logo but I can access to CWM, I try to flash back via Flashtool but when I connect and hold Power+ Volume -, my computer say Device not Recognized....and nothing happen :| i'm using window 8.1 and I just installed Flashtool 3 hrs ago(I've installed all the drivers), I don't know if this is Flashtool Problem or my phone problem, can anyone detect for me ?
Are you sure you've installed the drivers like this way?
http://www.technipages.com/windows-8-disable-driver-signing.html
In Flashtool drivers your Xperia Go, Flash mode, and Fastboot drivers must be checked.
yup I did that way and all the drivers checked, then I tried to delete USB HUB Driver but when Flashing, installing phone driver still Not Recognized....
USB 3 ports won't work, you must use USB 2 or change in BIOS xHCI to EHCI if you have this option.
Also I read someone said windows 8.1 has no solution yet.
So sad to hear that On the way back to win 7....
Xperia go hard bricked, not starting in flash mode nor fastboot
Sorry, i'm new here, i've downloaded roms and some other stuff here, but now i have a serious problem. I had this GoogleBeAnZP rom on my phone (i had root, unlocked bootloader and CWM) and it was fine!!! actually it was running smooth, but i wanted to try another rom, i tried to instal a JB custom rom that i saw over the internet, so i entered the recovery mode and installed this rom with aroma installer. it said that everything was installed, and that it was going to reboot, so i waited, and NOTHING HAPPEND!!! now, i try to enter flashmode to instal the rom from flashtool and i can't even enter flash mode. my cellphone is really dead, all it does is turn a red light when i connect it. once it turned on the green light like when it enters flash mode but not anymore. I've hold the down button before connecting it, like a hundred times, trying to reboot the phone pressing the up volume button and the power button at the same time but its dead. it keeps showing the red LED indicator but not starting. i've been reading hundreds of posts but no cellphone does what mine does. i tried SEUS, flashtool but both require flashmode and I simply can't enter!!
All i get is this red light from the LED but no response in my phone. the screen doesn't blink neither vibrates
HEEELLLLP!!!!!

Hey guys,
I've got the xperia z tablet (16gb wifi only)
and I had unlocked it, the other day I saw it finally got an OTA update, so I let it update.
apparently that was a bad idea?, I was stuck with the broken android symbol every time i attempted to start the tablet..
I tried the sony software, the recovery thing it has. That has only made things worse, now the tablet refuses to start whatsoever.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi
I had the same issues when I flashed the wrong ROM. Nothing worked no power light or anything.
Now I can't remember exactly what I did but I started to press buttons and I'm sure that holing the power button and the vol up for a while made it start again and it displayed an error and then went into flash mode .
As I said I'm not sure which buttons I pressed but I know that I held them in for a while
Try using Flashtool... Im pretty sure you can rcover it by flashing a FTF file.

get the stock ftf file and flash it using flashtools, I was in a bootloop and it worked
i know its an old post but i have to try
i m in a boot loop and i want to find the Fed file in order to do a fastboot....
Can someone give them??
I test my tablet SGP321 with many ROMs.. I end up going to boot loop... Crashes and stuff but I always recover from it.
The things I do before doing anything insane with my tablet
1. Take backup off apps/data
2. Always enable debugging and Unknown Sources
3. Keep the backup of the ROMs
4. Always have the xperia flashtool on my computer
Here's what you can do..
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button for ten seconds until you see a white light flashing three times. While doing this somewhere around in 5 seconds you'll see white led flashing once, but keep on pressing those buttons till it flashes next three times.
After that your tablet will be turned Off.
You can put your device in flash mode and flash a new ROM from Xperia flash tool.
If you get the error "Unknown sources and USB debugging must me enable for flash mode, then your option can be to flash the ROM from fastboot.
Download a ROM (CyanogenMod or any with custom recovery).
Flash the boot.img via fastboot and reboot your device.
Once done you should see a led lit up while the device is booting (pink/magenta color in case of CyanogenMod).
Press the volume up/down button and you should be able to go to recovery mode.
From here you can recover your device easily
And before you do anything make sure you've charged your device well.
Good luck
Hi,
I own a Xperia p, running honami moonwalker v8. Recently i decided to upgrade to CM11. I flashed the CM11 unofficial ROM from this website nightly 2 i think. I did a clean install (erase everything and clear cache) But when i pressed reboot (on cwm) i got a black screen. When you hold the power button it vibrates but screen doesnt turn on, the led goes red for about 2sec and goes off. i tried holding power button and volume up but same result, vibrates and nothing comes up. Even when I make it vibrate 3 times, no result. Im desperate guys please help me i will appreciate your help greatly. And if this means anything, when i installed zip from sd card, it just said installing, and after a few minutes, said install complete. Is this normal? since it didnt show anything in between. PLEASE HELP I WILL TRY DONATE TO WHOEVER FIXES MY PROBLEM.

1. Open flash tool (don't click anything)
2. Turn the phone off, power + volume up until you feel (1+) 3 vibreations.
3. Press the volume up key while connecting the USB cable, led should lit blue and connected in fastboot should be in the log.
4. Repeat 2, press volume down while connectiong the USB cable for flash mode, check flashtool log
If flash mode stays connected for about 45 seconds you can simply try to flash stock with flash tool.
If fastboot stays connected over 20 seconds you can flash custom stock based kernel and flash moonwalker again, or any other custom rom you have on the phone.
If none works, just leave it turned of, charging for one day then try again.
I've seen more than one report of people that recovered XP by disconnecting the battery, though it didn't work for others.
Hi everyone,
i bought a second hand Xperia Pro which came wih Lupus Kernel and Ultimate HD rom. Now I wanted to try the stock firmware for comparison but i can't flash it.
I've followed several guides and searched on the forum with no luck. what i've done is basically
- installed flashtool, latest version
- downloaded the stock firmware and put the .tft in the firmware folder
- open the driver installer from the driver folder in flashtool and selecting fastboot, flashmode and xperia pro drivers to install
- click on the flash icon, select the correct firmware, click flash
- when the window with the animation asks for it i press and hold the volume down button and attach the usb cable. I keep pressing the button and the lupus logo appears, then nothing happen and the window with the usb cable animation goes on
i've tried several times and also on different computers... and... to get thing worse, i've just bricked my xperia :s after several attempts, a menu apeared on the display (i have no idea why, i must have done something different from the previous attempts) i think it was called lupus cwm. One of the options was about wiping the phone... i've tried with that one, then he asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes... not very wise to choose yes or no when you don't know what you are talking aobut, i know
So basically if i try to turn the phone freezes on the lupus logo and i have to pull the battery out. And, no need to say it, nothing has changed when it comes to trying to flash it with flashtool
any help will be much appreciated, i really don't know what else i could try now...

You did all the steps to flash the stock firmware ftf like it should be done! Please try to take off the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert it and press and hold volume down while connecting the usb. A green led should light up and it should start flashing

thanks for your help. I've tried removing the battery but it's just the same. A blue led, not green, turns on for a couple of seconds on my xperia pro... i've recorded a short video so you can check that i'm doing everything properly...
OUCH i can't insert links :s youtube .com/ watch?v=_hIZMn9HrlA
so you think it's not a problem if i have bricked the phone wiping off the firmware? the flashing procedure should work the same?
MUAHHAHA got it!!! my phone is finally flashed! i was just pressing the wrong button :s even if all the guides specific for xperia pro were saying to pross the volume down button, i had to press the BACK button! and the led did turn on green indeed, as you were saying
just another question: what happened when that CWM menu asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes? does that mean i rooted the phone? and is it stil rooted or it's been overwritten by the original firmware i have just flashed?
thanks

If you have an unlocked bootloader, your phone normally should automatically be rooted when you flash a custom kernel as (nearly) all kernels for our devices include this feature. But as you have flashed the stock firmware now, all was overwritten and you have to flash another custom kernel to get cwm back
ok, thanks a lot
