1. you did not specify how did you try to update? OTA ? Xperia Companion?
2. and now where are you stuck ? bas Software Flash Error? black screen over White WARNING?
3. or your device is softbrick ?
4. Boot is locked or unlocked?
possible solutions
1. try repair via Xperia Companion , it will flash latest ROM (OREO( [ locked bootloader ONLY]
2. if bootloader is unlocked, you will have to flash your device via flashtool (www.flashtool.net) , click button Xperifirm, select your device from LEFT side and select your country and build on the rightside of the window and download the rom. Once done, close xperifirm and falshtool will AUTOCREATE bundle (FTF) for you. flasht it
MAKE SURE FLASHTOOL is LATEST, drivers are installed ( C\flashtool\drivers )

[Q] My ray died after upgrade please help!

Hi,
I was on rom ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545) then I accepted to upgrade via WiFi to new rom according to SE suggestion on the notification toggle, since then I can only turn the device into flashtool mode (green led) cant get into fastboot mode anymore, I tried to reflash the ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC with flash tool (I dont get any error during the process) but after flash I can't turn on the device!
any idea how to fix it?
Since your current kernel should be 4.0.2.A.0.58(or 42) ,you can try to install (use flashtool) ROM 4.0.2.A.0.58 (or 42).
Did you unlock you phone? Try to flash the relock file with the flashtool!

Did i Bricked my Xperia mini St15i - no Touch anymore

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

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!

[Q] Z2 stuck on boot logo, with no LED notification to enter into recovery

Hi all, i have a problem.
As the title explains I'm stuck on the boot logo, with no indication of the device going into recovery mode ( - volume pressed down several times). My phones bootloader is locked, i've tried using flashtool to install a compatible ftf but for this to happen the phone needs to be unlocked. My question is are there any alternative ways to unlock a bootloader while the phone is off or in the boot screen? Thanks in advance !
I dont think that you need unlocked bootloader for flashtool.
You just need working drivers and correct ftf file.

i'm using flash tool provided by Sony called "Emma" which requires an unlock. Could you recommend an alternative flash tool program that doesn't need this requirement? I have the drivers and ftf already waiting.

Xperia Z4 SGP771 wont turn on, wont boot, dead but with fastboot mode access

Hi guys, a friend asked me to repair her tablet Xperia Z4 SGP771, it does not boot at all.. It does have access to fastboot mode (blue light) and flash mode (green light).
This device had the bootloader unlocked and was rooted and, for some reason, she tried to factory reset it. It is dead since then...
I have no clue of which ROM version it had, or CDA, firmware.. location etc...
When I connected the device on PC (Win10) and try to verify connectivity via adb cmd the device list is empty, but when I tried to reboot into bootloader it was successful. (see pic1.jpg attached)
I tried to flash TWRP via fastboot but no success, see pic2.jpg, it says FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I verified connections via flashtool, it says: Device Status: FASTBOOT mode, see pic3.jpg, which seems to be working fine..
Now, I was thinking to download a generic FTF firmware using XperiFirm and then flash it via Flashtool, is there anything I should know before proceeding on this step? I will wait for any guide/light from you guys... thx in adv
Hi,
Flash any MM 6.01 firmware (32.2.A.5.11). No Nougat firmware.
Here is an old guide to flash a firmware but you can use it : http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
And upgrade FlashTool to 0.9.23.2

I tried that but it is failing in the middle of the process. See pic, any other idea?
get the LATEST version of flashtool
you also might try another FTF in case something is wrong with your download
check that the drivers for your operating system are properly installed an up to date (more on that in my [GUIDE])

How to install official xperia firmware in xperia x without root or bootloader unlock

Hi. I am using Xperia X with firmware 34.4.A.2.85(UAE generic). I need to upgrade it to Indian generic version and i downloaded the ftf file. Hence i downloaded flashtool for flashing it. I installed the fastboot and flashboot drivers successfully after plugging in my phone. But flashtool is saying that 0 devices are connected. Do I need to root my device or unlock bootloader for this?

Fastboot mode is NOT for flashing firmwares
connect your device in FLASHMODE
install
c:\flashtool\drivers (there is setup file, - disable digital rights management in windows10 and install all)
install xperia companion
make first test connection , one by one , first in fastboot mode, then flashmode
now try!
ps: use LATEST flashtool version
I booted into flash mode but flashtool says that device connected in flashmode but drivers are too old.
