yes, i try fastboot and dont conect
try to lock bootloader and repair it with xperia companion
NO! Don't block bootloader if you have gustom boot or recovery! This hard brick your phone! Try install TWRP and restore stock boot.img, and flash stock rom.
Did you try this ? Did flashtool help with flashing stock rom?

Hello Evrybody
i have a huge Problem with my ST15i
I had Rooted GB on it and evrything works fine till i decided to try a custom ROM
so i instal Recovery Tool and installed a Custom Rom for ST15 i
after installling and rebooting to the new rom, i noticed when i tried to open the screen lock bar that the touchscreen didnt react exactly - i had to slide at the other side of the display to unlock it!
So i decided to make the phone fresh with SEUS and ICS4.0! After SEUS update i restarted my phone and the whole touch display didnt work anymore!
only the hardbuttons - i cannot back to any Recovery tool , with out touch display i cant switch to uUSB Debug Mode!!
Is there hope to help my Phone!!
Thx in Advatage!!
Hi,
This means you installed custom rom and it didn't work? And then you connected your phone to pc and used seus while you were on custom rom? You did not flash original sony from back first and updated (or tried to update) while you were on custom rom?
Have you tried to use flashtool? I don't know if your touchscreen has bricked up completely, but you could flash gb firmware back, so you have a clean gb rom.
For this download sony flashtool from here and install it. You go to the drivers section of the flashtool folder on your computer and install them. Then you download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) rom from here and move it to the firmware folder of flashtool on your pc. Then you start flashtool and click on the flash. You select flashmode and then you select the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom and click ok.
Then you turn off your phone (make sure it is over 50% charged) and hold volume down key. Then you plugin the usb cable to pc and smartphone while holding volume down. It should flash the original gingerbread rom.
If the flash finished you can hope that the touchscreen workd, if not I don't know a solution.
BUT: I DONT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBILITY FOR THIS METHOD!!!
If it has worked you can be lucky, if not you are on non-rooted gingerbread rom and could bring your device to the service, but I'm not sure!
OR: First read this thread cause he has similar problem!
Best regards
Michael
i managed it already to install androis SDK on pc and ADB Drivers - via Fastboot i can reach the Device and Bootloader seems to be open, the blue led is wworking, windows accepts my phone as installed android ADB Device - and when i try with Flashtool, and some other different tools to flash new kernel - i always become the mesagge ithe device must be rooted even from fastboot when i use the (fastboot flash boot boot.img) command
I will try some other things , when this does not helps so i try with service
THX
But led is working anyway, it doesn't say, that the bootloader is unlocked. Maybe really flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware using flashtool and then try if touch works, otherwise bring device to service, but I don't know if they can notice your try to install a custom rom.
Hope it will work for you!

There are many ways to get your phone into working condition.
1. The first thing you should do is, try repairing your phone through PC companion.
2. If your fastboot mode is working and have unlocked bootloader, try flashing stock ftf ROM into your phone via flashtool.
3. Try flashing recoveries via fastboot and then clean reflashing ROM
Let me know if you have problem with above

pc companion can't find phone
flashtool (emma i found it on sony site) is not supporting xperia m
Is there any specific error, when you connect your phone to computer?
Try factory resetting phone through stock recovery. It might help you.
Hello guys, today it's a really bad day for me. My M4 is now totally bricked.
Here's why:
I installed CM 12.1 and I will get back to stock, but my phone not enter in flashmode. So I flashed a zip file of stock rom but it not booted. I want to get Flashmode back, and I find a flashable zip that restore flashmode in Sony Xperia M. I flashed it and... bye bye M4. Now the phone only enter in SOMC FLASH DEVICE, Flashtool not flash, but say:
Device connected with USB debugging OFF. For 2011 devices line be sure that you aren't in MTP mode.
Sometimes enter in Unkown device. I have all drivers and I'm using original cable with USB 2.0 port. Now I'm trying to restore with PCC.
I removed the battery connectors for a while, put them back, but nothing changed.
My battery is at 100%.
What should I do?
So flash mode does not work anymore? This may seem inappropriate to say now that your phone is dead but if you have technical experience you could make a guide to opening and repairing the M4 or at least take pictures. But if flash mode or fastboot works try to restore it first
Well... Sorry to hear that :/ but uh..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040
It uses a MSM8939 board same as ours. It's up to you if you want to attempt it but I'm suggesting not to.. Good luck anyway!
Thank you very much! Firstly I will try to send it to the shop where I buyd (sorry my english) and if they don't change the phone I will try this. Really thank you again!
EDIT: Ok, I am following the tutorial, but my M4 show only qhsusb_bulk with no driver. What I have to do?

probably you flashed custom kernel/rom with bootloader unlock=NO , you can try the S1 tool to restore your bootloader but you must have the original one.

you must have qhsusb_dload detected if yes then download this zip extract it and run s1tool, you must copy boot.sin and s1boot from your stock rom, the two files inside the zip are not for your C3, but you can try at your own risk.

Actually I had this problem with my Xperia s. I managed to remove everything but recovery. So here's what I did. Start Sony companion and go to the repair page. When it says plug in and hold down I think it's volume down key. Plug the phone in to the computer. Now it's a waiting game. But if you r lucky the red light should come on after like 10 min or so. If it does wait another ten just so the phone has some battery fueled up. Then plug it out and in again holding the volume key pushed. If this doesn't work just flash cm so you can get in to the phone. Lock the bootloader again and then try Sony companion with cm installed. Oh you don't have to hold volume key the first time
1. Flash boot and system images with TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/rom-6-0-1-xperia-m4-aqua-t3423264
2. Turn off your phone
3. If phone enter fastboot and flashmode go to step 1A, if not, go to step 1B
1A. Flash stock rom with selected "APPS_LOG" and "USERDATA"
1B. Go to recovery, and restore this backup: https://app.box.com/s/6okdn3wafe6mh3y4yhfe451nm0hwasah (if again not boot go to step 1C)
1C. Buy M4 Aqua with broken LCD or digitizer, swap mainboard.
ps. sorry for my English, i from Poland
Hi - have been searching these forums for days now but cant find a solution.
I am OK at flashing etc but am stuck now. Phone is stuck at Sony logo and won't go any further.
Phone is an Xperia M4 (E2303) and the bootloader is locked - have tried unlocking it but get 'Failed - command not allowed' so i'm guessing it is not unlockable!
I can't get into recovery (nothing happens when i try) and cant get into FlashMode either. I plug usb into phone while holding the volume down key. I CAN get into Fastboot mode which seems to work fine and is recognized ok by PC - drivers all installed ok.
Is there a way of flashing an FTF using Fastboot rather than Flashmode? or even installing any recovery. I have 32 and 64-bit Flashtool installed, i have FTF files and i have EMMA.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful - many thanks - ian
With bootloader locker you won't be able to flash anything. I had the same problem.
Desperately, my friend thought it was a good idea to put the phone on the refrigerator for a while.
Surprisingly, in the next day, I turned it on and the cold phone booted normaly and then I was able to set OEM unlock authorization on developer settings and unlocked the bootloader with sony unlock key.
Then I tried to flash a twrp, but I'm stuck back on boot loop again, and fridge didn't help this time.
Power OFF phone, then hold together for at least 30 sec in this order "volume down" + "volume up" + "power button". Then release 3 buttons and try to power on phone with power button. This procedure will revert your phone back to default settings.

Hi there,
Same problem as OP here.
I am trying to revive my wife ex-phone, model 2303 which has been forgotten for two years at least.
Stock rom
No root
Bootloader locked
Stuck at Sony Logo when starting up the phone.
Can boot in FastBoot (blue light) and is detected by PC
Can boot in FlashMode (green light) but PC doesn't detect anything. Nothing appears in Peripherals.
Any advices ?
What can be done in FastBoot mode with a locked bootloader ?

Also Xperia companion will install all needed drivers and could also recover device.
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/articles/00236877
Thank your for your advices.
But in Flashmode the phone does not even appear in computer peripherals manager.
In FastBoot, Sony Emma does not detect phone neither.

Have you tried using an older version of flashtool ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Which version of flashtool would you recommend ?
Would it change anything as the phone is not detected in device manager anyway ?
