So, I wanted to root my phone and unlock my bootloader. After unlocking bootloader I checked phone and everything was ok. I flashed twrp and boot.img then flashed supersu via twrp. After that, phone waited on sony logo like 20minutes so I turned it off and wiped. After doing that it was still on the xperia logo. I flashed kernel again and it started rebooting after sony logo. Now, I can use fastboot and flashmode. But flashtool gives me errors. First it said I need to enable usb debugging and now it says "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.". I tried on another computer but I still get the same error. I can lock the bootloader btw. Should I try and try recovering via xperia companion?
I locked the bootloader and restored using pc companion. Everything is fine again. Never gonna try rooting this device again.
Hey there, could you please tell me how you relocked your Xperia XA Ultra?
Could really need some advise with putting back my password. Would you mind explaining how you did it?

Hey Guys, I hope you are having a good day. Mine is not a good one.
I wanted my experia st15i phone to be back on stock again so I can root it. I am running a .62 firmware. I have read on doomlords thread that .62 firmware cannot be rooted, so I decided to flash it back to the stock phone .368.
I followed all the step on the flashing on the phone.
-downloaded the flashtool for experia latest version. Followed the steps
- installed the necessary drivers -adb, flashtool drivers.
- then I followed the steps to flash the phone
This error came up (see Attachment) after that I haven't been able to turn on my phone since then. Even If I tried again, still comes up the same error.
BIG PROBLEM! My phone now cannot be turned on, it keeps getting back to flash mode whenever I connect it to the computer.
Please help!
I am sorry but I only follow steps throughtout the flashing method, I don't know if I had to unlock my bootloader before I flash it, or root it.
Please help, I am currently researching now If I can turn back my phone again.
flash to stock rom.. .42 firmware is good if you want to keep root..i saw the image from that are you flashing any kernel..?beacause you are in fastboot mode..but to flash ftf file you have to be in flashmode
Error with the flashtool, phone stop working
No, I am not flashing any kernels. I was in flash mode. I was never in fastboot mode.
Ok thanks for the heads up, I'll use .42 instead.
But still currently having this problem. I can't do anything because I can't turn on the phone. If I turn it on, the logo doesn't come up and the blinking light is on GREEN, so that means I am still in flashmode (even without the connection to the computer). If I connect the phone when the flashtool is there, its says on the log that it's on flashmode.
The Big Problem is, How can I turn it on back to normal mode. releasing the flash mode. If that really is the problem, when the error came up.
Second Question. Do you have to unlock the bootloader to perform the root or flashtool. I already have installed the adb drivers.
first there is no need of unlock bootloader to flash ftf file..just download ftf file then put in firmware folder..then open flashtool... click on flash and then click on flashmod then just select your ftf file and press ok..switch off your mobile..then press volume down button and coonect your mobile to pc using usb cable..flashtool will flash that firmware...
Thanks...
But, I have already followed all those steps you said. then that error comes up (refer to the thumbnail above). After that I haven't been able to turn on the phone.
When I try to turn on the phone, the logo screen won't show and the light that blinks above the phone is green. Meaning its kinda stuck on flashmode.
I am so scared right now, if I can't fix it.

No problem dude, just happy to help
Hi
I unlocked my daughter's Ray with wotanserver and it worked fine but I think she might have done an OTA update as she got a message to say the the sim was unrecognised and she needed a reset, which she did and then brought the dead phone to me.
It does not boot at all and does not show up on the PC
BUT
It does get to the Sony logo when I plug in the charger or try to fastboot to PC. (Goes into fastboot with Flashtool but led goes red and is not recognise when I try to use ADB command line to use bootloader unlock with fastboot.)
Flashtool, S1tool and SUS all recognise it.
I have reflashed it with both Flashtool and SUS and tried repair with sitool and wotan.
I have tried different methods on the forum but nothing works even though it doesn't seem completely bricked.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
If its truly ota brick try

Thanks - it was worth a try!
Still no change except the loader has changed from r4A069 to R4A069.
Does this mean the bootloader is now definitely locked and I need to unlock it to get the phone to boot?

Yup ur BL now is locked
sent from my st15i using xda-app
I though I should say that the power button does nothing at all, the phone only boots to Sony logo when connected to PC or the charger is plugged in.
Is it possible the boot loader is corrupted?
Since trying the OTA unbrick, apart from the bootloader being locked, I cannot connect in fastboot.
Having read around it could be that the Trim Area is corrupted but the fixes I have found do not work. When I try to flash a loader (x10 but meant to work on all xperias) I get an error from flashtool saying there is an error reading the loader,sin header..
Any ideas at all would really help.
Could anyone help if I try one step at a time?
First, I want to unlock the bootloader to see if that helps with the bootloop problem.
I cannot enter fastboot anymore to use flashtool or command prompt unlock.
When I connect to flashtool in fastboot, I get the message that the phone is connected without USB debugging and then the LED changes to red (charging) and the device disconnects.
Any ideas please?
Hello, Please help!!!
I was trying to unlock my bootloader on my Xperia X10 with qsd8250_semc cmd. and Flashtool. after unlocking, my phone refused to boot up. It doesn't even show the usuall sony ericsson splash screen. When trying to flash back to stock firmware with flashtool, flashtool recognizes the phone when connected in flashmode, but then trying to flash, flashtools shows "Error flashing. Aborted" when it gets to 'Flashing Loader'. Please I need help. What do I do?

Thanks for your reply. I tried using PC Companion to revert to stock rom. but it seems Sony PC companion only detects my phone in kind of an offline mode 'cuz it doesn't show my phone name after connecting in flash mode and then when I click 'Start' on the 'Update Software' module it just shows a blank screen with only 'Back' at the left corner. am I missing something? Please can anyone help me with a step by step procedure on how to go about it

I copy and pasted this from another post of mine
Depending on what version of Flashtool you use! Get this one - flashtool-0.9.10.1-windows
Install flashtool and driver's from flashtool folder.
Connect and make sure your phone is recognised
Click the padlock symble to root your phone. If anyone else is doing this, as you said your already rooted
If you want to install recovery you can! click on the white cross on black background symble second from the right.
If your Bootloader is not unlocked click plugins you can unlock bootloader from there. Check if its Possible for your phone!
If it is already unlocked you wont get the menu from plugins.
Remember google is your friend find that version of flashtool - S1 tool
And use S1 tool to check if you can unlock your bootloader someone may know another tool
Goodluck

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.
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.

Read this tread. It worked for me! Good luck!
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 ?

Try using official flash tool Emma from Sony.

Also Xperia companion will install all needed drivers and could also recover device.

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 ?
