I used TWRP to recover from a backup but at the end it said FAILED! I restarted the phone and the screen went blank and nothing happened. I couldn't get anything to work. If I plugged the phone into the charger the red light would flash. I booted the phone into fast boot and was able to flash using flashtools. I put 23.0.1.A.0.167. Customization : Customized US on it but when the phone turns on it plays the start up song and reboots. I guess it's stuck in a bootloop.
You re not bricked,
Just re flash using flashtool and download another firmware and wipe data in flahtool before proceeding with flashin the new .ftf
while flashing dont use your pc otherwise it will occur a bootloop. Happens to me every time if i use my pc while flashing.
make the wipes
just reflash the same ftf file but make sure you tick the wipes and press and hold the power button and vol up till phone vibrate 3 times before you conect it in download mode

So I may have screwed up my phone. I wanted to do a complete fresh install and wiped all the partitions in TWRP (except external and usb).
Then before I got a chance to flash the rom my phone died (didn't realise my battery was low I know my fault).
Now it wont boot past the sony logo and I cant shutdown the phone. holding power does nothing tried holding it for over 30 seconds still nothing.
The phone has been stuck at the sony logo for over an hour and is starting to get very very warm.
Does anyone know how I can shutdown the phone to prevent damaging the battery/cpu? Have I hard bricked the phone? I hope flash tool can detect the phone at the sony logo because I can't shutdown to even boot to flash mode
I Do not have access to a computer at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hold Power and Volume Up. That should shut the phone off. If that doesn't work, try the off switch next to the USB Port.
When you do get access to a computer, download SUS and do a software repair to restore your phone to stock (only for locked bootloader). Alternately, you can download a stock .ftf file for your Z2 and flash it via flashtool.
Your phone is not hard-bricked, it is soft bricked. Hard Bricked means that the phone turns into an expensive paperweight dummy handset.
Hope this helps

Force reset it like here: http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...product=xperia-z1#!Resetting-your-device.html
and do a factory reset. Go to recovery -> wipe data/ factory reset.
EDIT: or flash again your rom / kernel.

You are a life saver bro I been trying to figure out how to force off the phone for an hour tried every button combo except volume up for some reason (think I tried it but didnt work prolly wasn't actually pushing the button)
yeah I'm familiar with sus and flashtool so I should be good from here out just needed to figure out how to force the damn thing off. I been out of the sony game too long ive been with samsung since my x10 but now im back
Thanks again bro just happy its a soft brick.
So I am using this device, and the fist thing I did, was root via ODIN with CFoot and then, frlash the N900 ( hlte ) twrp recovery and flash a N5 port rom N900 thread, and all worked. Arfter a frew days of normal use, it bricked inm y pocked. Just turned ofrf and bootloop. Anything I flash via Odin back, keeps in bootloop ( even stock rom 5.0 fo Sprint ) which was there at the beginning. It doesn't boot into recovery ( it starts showing recovery booting, recovery is not seandroid enforcing , set warranty bit: recovery ) and it turns off.. and only Download mode is accesible, but only if battery is on and cable is in. Whit kind of bootloop is that? It's alive but it's not [email protected] What should I flash to make it work? I even flashed with PIT file, and no changes...
It starts booting 1 second and it turns off. If I flash CF root again, the boot text is changed, but it turns off again after 1 second. So it flashes things, but it doesn't boot!
1- Turn off your phone
2- remove battery, wait just 5 seconds and put it
3- Flash stock rom for sprint using odin
This must solve your pb,
Turn off phone. Boot into Download mode by holding down power, volume down and home button at the same time. Plug phone into your computer and start up odin. Load the stock image file into the pda slot. Check reboot when finished. Should fix you up.
Hello
Yesterday i have recieved the Pepsi (Koobee) P1S. it was full of bloatware so i decided to flash a modded rom. After i realized that this custom rom is only in english and chinese (Im German) i wanted to switch back to the original. But then i made the biggest mistake: I have flashed the false rom (CM for Mt6592 CPU but false Smartphone). After that i have flashed the right original rom again. but a strange Error appears: the Phone boot up normaly and then freeze and reboot by itself..over and over again. But not at the same step. Sometimes it freeze during the Bootanimation..sometimes it boot up completly and i can swipe through the Screens (for about 10 sec). When i push the standby button (Display went off) the Phone stays in this mode and dont freeze.
the i flashed TWRP and try to wipe the phone. Even in TWRP it freeze, but not during the wipes or in the Boot Mode slelect screen.
I Have a friend with the same phone. Is it possible to copy a complete backup (eMMC etc) to my phone? Or someone had a Idea what i can try next? I have flashed different roms (for this phone) so many times, but the error is still there.
Please help me.. It should be a present for my GF birthday today
SOLUTION
I downloaded the flashtool that flashes MTK Devices then searched google for Pepsi p1s needrom and downloaded the original firmware scatter file, turn off the P1S unplug it from USB,...Start the flashtool, and search the firmware will be second search bar select search and browse your computer for the firmware you downloaded from needrom, then you will see it load all the files.....there is a button bar that has an arrow open the arrow and select firmware update, then hit the green go button after you hit the green go button plug in your powered off PEPSI P1S ....it will give you a red bar on the flashtool at bottom first, then it will format your device properly, then install all the necissary files, its real quick about 3 minutes, after a box will pop up on the screen and say OK with a big check mark, at this point you can unplug your phone, power it up and wait about 3 minutes, everything will be normal again. So sorry I would post the links however I forgot my password and username that I was using for many years and forgot my recovery email as well.....so if you google it you can find the stuff, just hope I helped with the proper method of flashing......good luck, let me know how it goes.
Thanks but i know how to flash the firmware with SP Flash Tool. i have flashed the P1S with 3 different roms..but always the same error (freeze and reboot at different points)
Are you using download mode? Or firmware update? The reason I ask is download mode always gave me a bootloop, but when switched to firmware update mode it formats the device correctly and fixes the file structure, try firmware update mode.
Im using "Format All + Download"
Try using firmware update mode, let me know what happens.
same problem...freeze (at different points) ans reboot.
here you can see what happen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1oFkgUwtOo
try this! P1
power off
then hold power button + volume down
the boot mode will appear
select recovery
it will show you no command
then pres power button first and the press volume up
now you device is on recovery
then select
wipe data/factory reset.

I have noted one thing.
when I update supersu to play store and reboot it goes in bootloop.
so I recommend not to upgrade or even to make unroot just after removing apps with viruses
I was facing an issue with the phone being stuck in logo screen.I tried to wipe the user data and was unable to do so via recovery.So I flashed the phone with stock rom using Sp Flash tool.Still it once again remained stuck in logo screen.So I tried to format the phone and after that the phone is dead , It does not charge nor power up.I once again tried with format all and download and sp flash tool flashed it successfully and showed the okay screen.The flashing process is happening but the phone does not boot on pressing the power button.It is like totaly dead.Except the only thing that recognizes my phone is the flash tool.Even my laptop which runs on Ubuntu 16.04 does not show any kind of indication on connecting.Please give me a solution.I am very panicked.
How I encountered this problem:
1.Since I was stuck at the boot loop.I tried to wipe data entirely through recovery.There was mount error due to encryption.So my only chance was at flashing the phone.
2.I had 3 version of stock Rom for 3 different build(I didn't know my build no).I tried flashing them all but all the 3 flashed successfully but the result was
same.Stuck at bootloop.I found out this might be because I was unable to wipe the data from phone.
3.So I wiped the entire data using sp flash tool using the format flash except boot loader option.
4.After that I had 3 versions of stock Rom with me for different build no.And I think I flashed the one with
the build no which was not meant for my phone.
5.The flashing was successfull.But the phone was dead.
6.Then once again I reflashed other version during which once the flashing was interrupted.
7.Finally I flashed the correct Stock rom version for my build no.Because It was in the end I found out my build no.
8.The flashing was successfull except the phone is still dead.
Observations:
A.Memory Test:
1.ERROR:NAND FLASH NOT DETECTED.(This was present even before the phone became dead .ie when it was stuck at the boot loop after flashing the firmwares).
2.ERROR:UFS not detected.(This was present even before the phone became dead .ie when it was stuck at the boot loop).
Rest went well.The memory test in the end showed the okay message.
B.Format option:
Now the format option does not work.
When I try to format the phone once again using sp flashtool format whole flash except bootloader.It says ERROR : S_DL_READ_PT_FAIL (5073).
what went well?
I am able to download the preloader first and then seperately download rest of the components.
This I am able to do with and without the battery.
what didnt go well?
1.The phone is still dead.No reaction from the phone on pressing any button.
2.Phone LED does not blink or light up on connecting with or without battery to the wall charger or laptop.
3.The screen is black.
I have a question.
should I try the format whole flash option and not format whole flash except boot loader?
I did not try this since latest version doesnt have this.And there are many people who have encountered problems too with that option.
PLEASE HELP ME.THANK YOU.

Same problem here did you found any solution to this ?
Hello community,
I haven't posted here before, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong.
I have a problem with my Neffos X1 and after browsing the internet for hours nothing helped so far, so I hope some of you can help me out.
My phone is stuck in a bootloop since yesterday evening. I haven't done any updates or new installations recently, so it just happened out of the blue. It loads till the Neffos logo and then restarts over and over again.
Since I can't take the battery out, I tried letting it run out of energy and then restart, but as soon as I connect it to a power source the bootloop will start again.
I read a lot about getting it in recovery mode or to try and flash it, but no matter what combination of buttons I try, nothing is happening. The phone basically doesn't react to anything and just keeps restarting. The only thing I noticed is, that when pushing both volume keys the screen will just stay black (no restarting), but after letting go the bootloop will start again.
I tried flashing it via SP Flash Tools, but the phone also doesn't react to it.
Lots of troubleshooting guides also require, that I have rooted my phone in the past, unfortunatly I haven't. I also read about unlocking the bootloader, but since my phone isn't reacting to any buttons and my laptop also doesn't seem to recognize my phone (probably because it doesn't boot proberly), that doesn't seem like a solution either.
To summarize: I'm stuck in a bootloop with no recovery mode, no rooting, no unlocking bootloader, probably can only use my laptop to do anything remotely.
So, is there anything you can think of, that might help me get out of the bootloop? Or ideas of what I may did wrong when trying the other solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Same problem
I have the same problem, I have tried all kinds of soft reset and nothing is working I also opened the phone to check if anything was not connected properly, but everything seems fine except for that infinite loop. Please help!
