First of all I apologize and I had to use google translator
what happens is that yesterday was installing a generic firmware to my c5 ultra, then came a moment when I got an error like this:
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - INFO - Processing boot.sin
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - ERROR - Processing of boot.sin finished with errors.
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - INFO - Ending flash session
disconnect my phone and now will not start , press the volume + and power and nothing happens , try to get him into Flashmode with volume- and as usual nothing happened , only LED lights red , it all does nothing more, also my PC does not recognize ... I can do :crying:
I got the same error and got bricked my c5, also if you see the forum there are many pals having this issue.
Only solution we have is to send the phone to sony service

yup. there are 3 ways to solve the problem,
1st you have to send it to service.
2nd if your bootloader is locked, you can repair your phone via pc companion.
3rd you have to take off the back cover (which results warranty void,) and find the service test point, connect it to pc via testpoint opened and use s1tools to flash new boot.img.
my phone was the same as your but tried rom port. corrupted boot file. it acted same as yours. tried everything BUT if its bl was locked, i could be able to repair with pc companion but my bl was unlocked so there were 2 options for me, i dont know where tp is so i sent it to service. its been 18 working days and 12 working days to left to retrieve my phone
you can try pc companion or tp point but i warn you. if you cant find test point, your warranty will be void. you shouldnt risk it and give it to service. and you should act like i did. just role play like you dont understand about phone. i acted like that and they said it will be done for free

try s1tools if it doesnt recognize again, download wmshua and let it install driver, then try again. if it doesnt recognize again, send it to service

Hi, where did you get the s1 tools? I keep finding versions from 2011 , which are obviously not working.
i dont remember where i downloaded it. but it worked for me but i didnt know where the point is.
it is a problem of flashtool
when i was using old flashtool then device was ok
when i upgrade flashtool to latest 0.9.22 then after successful flashing device is not getting power up
due to warranty sony care changed motherboard of my device
again i flashed ftf and phone was dead
itso it is a problem of flashtool
dont use latest flashtool
use 0.9.18 version
best of luck

Check the Downgrade to GB section here:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0
Steps are easy to follow and hopefully will solve your issue. And for ftf files for firmwares other than those listed there, search here on XDA.
Thanks,
Rick
Hit Thanks if I helped in anyway

thats the thing, ive tried to flash a new firmware using flash tool but it doesnt do anything, I press volume down and plug in the usb cable the screen stays blank and the led goes green but nothing else happens.
Do you have your bootloader unlocked?
And how did you try to flash the new firmware after which the mishap happened?
In case your bootloader is not unlocked, use PC Companion to repair your cell phone.
Thank You,
Rick.

Flash tool will work with original firmwares released by Sony, even if your bootloader is locked.
Okay. So now you try to download the S(M)US, and try repairing the phone by it. And report back.
Good Day,

That is completely normal, it means your phone is in flashmode.
If Flashtool asks you to connect, then do it this way, so that green LED would light up. Flashtool starts the installation and does the work.
If it fails, post the error log here and we will see further.
my fone is the live with walkman wt19i.
ive tried update service, flashtool and still cant get it to work, its like its not recognising my fone, i have all the drivers installed so there shouldnt be a problem there, here is the log from flash tool, doesnt really say much though.

I bought the phone over the mexican equivalent of ebay, it came with 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware which is android 2.4.3, once i connected to wifi the phone prompted me with an OTA update to 4.0.2.A.0.62, i accepted it and when it finished the download and rebooted it never came on, i tried removing the battery, holding the button for a long time but nothing worked, after some reading i downloaded the SEUS tool, it detected the phone fine and downloaded a 230mb file which i assume was the latest FW, it said that the installation was sucessful and that i should turn on my phone, again it didn't turn on, it vibrates but the screen never comes on, after giving up on SEUS i read about flashtools, i downloaded the previous firmware that i had which was 4.0.2.A.0.58, the one that was working fine before the OTA, file name is
SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.tft
I start flashtools and select the firmware, phone is detected fine but the flashing gets stuck at
Processing system.sin
Checking Header
Flashing data
i left it running for 30 mins and it didn't move from there, the person that sold it to me says the phone is new and says that it is my fault that the phone doesn't work anymore because according to him he asked in an email not to update the phone or the warranty was void with him, i live in mexico so there's not a sony center i can go for help, i really want to fix the phone, was pretty excited about getting it and now it wont turn on
what can i do next?

Well there must be a problem with the phone already.
Or else why would the seller say "not to upgrade"?
Flashtool was the only option that i would have recommended.
But you say it didnt work.
Are you sure you put the phone in flash mode?

And by the way, it takes time for the phone to turn on after an update.
Leave it for a while and see if it opens or not.

Have you asked the person from whom you bought the phone whether the bootloader of the phone is locked or unlocked?
I ask this because the people with unlocked bootloader are advised not to accept ota updates as it will brick their devices.

You can't possibly update OTA with an unlocked bootloader it would get downloaded but it wont update.

6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone
If you had unlocked bootloader and did OTA(Over the Air) update, then you probably ended up with a dead phone, aka brick. Don't worry, it is not completely bricked, still can be saved!
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from this post below.
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Install stock firmware and kernel to your phone.
Remove USB cable from your phone and start your phone.
Try not to brick it again, less problems for you.

hi guys
my c5 ultra dead after flash with flashtool
it completly flash but it doesnt turned on and i cant flash it again
just show unknown device on device manager
how to unbreak my device??
help me please
Same problem here.
I was looking to use http://spflashtool.com/ but I miss "scatter-loading" file.
Can someone upload his "/proc/mtd" or "/proc/dumchar_info"?
even if you connect it to pc via fastboot nor flashmode and pc doesnt recognize it, boot.img probably damaged and service test point is needed... try charging your phone for 1 day and try agan. if wont turn up so your device is hard bricked.
mine got soft bricked and i couldnt able to flash ftf cause flashtool didnt recognize it, bootloader was unlocked so i couldnt relock. i gave it to service and role played like i dont know what happend there were an update i clicked on it and it wont turned on again or something like that. its been 2 weeks. prob. ill get it in 2 weeks.
I hard bricked my c5 dual using flashtool. I had to take it to sony service center, they didn't asked me many questions. I told them I was trying to update it using pc companion and it just went dead. They fixed the phone in 5 days and returned it. The funny thing is that I had unlocked its bootloader a long time ago so it should've been out of warranty, also, the IMEI numbers have changed and the drm keys and functions have been restored. Can't believe my luck..
good for you m8 today im gonna check if its arrived or not...
landal
i have the same problem can you help me i'm searching for scatter too , have you got your problem solved?
Any other solution to repair this than must bring to sevice center?

Hi. i did same problem after android 6. i searching for solution. i hope i will find. write at here soon
We all have the same problem. I dnt want to bring my c5 ultra to service center. My c5 ultra was in marshmallow os then I was to revert it to Lollipop. So I decided to flash a firmware thru flashtool. After flashing when I'm about to boot up my phone, it doesn't boot up and seems dead. When I connect it to outlet, only red led appears. And I dnt know now how to revive my phone.
Can anyone help us with this problem.

I used my C5 with E5563_29.1.B.0.87_1296-9001_R4A firmware for 3 month until yesterday.
I rooted, have recovery installed and everything was just fine.
But It died when flashing E5563_29.1.B.0.101_1296-9001_R4A.ftf.
I used Flashtool 0.9.21.0 x64 and used xperifirm to download firmware
I have been flashed Sony devices for yearss and I didn't noticed anything wrong.
Battery was fine, Flashtool didn't report any errors for all downloading and flashing procedure.
But my C5 just hardbricked.
No flashmode, No fastboot, Charging animation and red led working but that's all.
When connect to PC it is recoginzed as "USB Serial Device (COM4)"
I can't find any possible way to recover hardbricked C5.
It is frustrating.

I have removed and reconnected battery once So It can't be stuck on flashmode But I have no choice.
So I tried your way.
I have been charging my C5 just after I read your reply and it's charging until now but nothing happens.
It is clear that flashmode isn't the problem
i would like to get your dead phone...

No as this flashtool isn't official Sony software although it does download official Sony firmware. Sonys official software is called EMMA and only works on unlocked Bootloader devices
yes they are doing that. Mine is also dead wile upgrading using xperia companion

I can't find any possible way to recover hardbricked C5.
It is frustrating.

It clearly states on the flashtool download page and on here on the flashtool page/thread NOT to use flashtool to flash c4+c5 mediatek powered Xperia devices as this will result in a hard brick I.e. You now have a permanent paperweight no idea why it is only those two mediatek Xperias as the xa works fine with flashtool.
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs

I used my C5 with E5563_29.1.B.0.87_1296-9001_R4A firmware for 3 month until yesterday.
I rooted, have recovery installed and everything was just fine.
But It died when flashing E5563_29.1.B.0.101_1296-9001_R4A.ftf.
I used Flashtool 0.9.21.0 x64 and used xperifirm to download firmware
I have been flashed Sony devices for yearss and I didn't noticed anything wrong.
Battery was fine, Flashtool didn't report any errors for all downloading and flashing procedure.
But my C5 just hardbricked.
No flashmode, No fastboot, Charging animation and red led working but that's all.

Hey... I'm having the same trouble as you did .... It would be helpful for me to know . What did you do after that? Did you recovered your phone? Or just visited to the sony service center??? Please help me
My C5 Ultra is hard-bricked too. Is there any progress regarding recovering C5 Ultra?
Hello,
i just updated my z5c to android nougat(using flashtool).
A bit later it did'nt charge any more. I tried to reflash the ftf file,
but the flashing process stopped in the first 2 seconds. Now the phone
isn't recognized by the PC any more(in device manager I can see it, but the PC
does'nt recognize it as z5c. Device manager shows me error 10).
Bootloader is locked, do you think there is any way to fix it by myself?
Or should I send it to Sony? Problem is the backside is broken(happened a month earlier), so most
likely they'll say I have to pay it.

can it bootup completely and work properly?
wipe through recovery and try to reflash can be helpful
however if you are not comfortable with it take to official service center
:good:
