Hi Guys,
how the title says.. i stupidly flashed a Xperia S ROM (exactly Xperia SSpeed) on my Xperia P.
Now... well... nothing works. Black screen with red LED. Hard-reset turns that LED off and gives that hard-reset-vibrate.
Connecting in normal mode or fastboot mode wont work.
Somebody got an idea how to save my Xperia?
I tried to search for a thread, but nobody seems to be that stupid until now. And because <10 posts i had to post in general.
You should reflash stock fw by using flashtool
Good luck
You think flashtool will recognize my Xperia?
I dont think so, but I'll download it and give it a try. Thx for fast answering
EDIT2:
Awesome, i finally get in fastboot mode while making hard-resets and connecting to USB at the same time.
Now lets search for some stock euro/german FW
EDIT3:
Now i downloaded SEUS and it freezes at phone checking.. ok...
Still searching for a stock euro FW^^
Yes, it will . Why not ?
Your current rom doesn't influence to what flashtool does
Because until EDIT2, not even Windows recognize anything when plugging Xperia via USB in.
Currently I'm downloading SSpeed for Xperia P, takes some time with my connection. When download is finished I'll force closing SEUS, still checking phone.
EDIT:
Yeah, downloaded CWM Recovery, flashed it via fastboot and my Xperia bootet in its old FW. Dont know why, but it works and i think its time to edit the first post to [fixed] and try to get that phone rooted.
Thanks again for answering
Hmm...since the phone will be connected via flashmode to use flashtool but not via USB, so no problem if PC doesn't recognize it
Finally, make a nandroid backup via CWM, i'm sure you will never be worried about that any longer
This don't even worked before.
Thanks for the advice.
Now i found a rooted FW. Works perfekt exept a small fail by myself. It was a lang day for me:laugh:
I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

There's nothing strange: you are using a custom kernel and you have locked bootloader
It's impossible it could work
You need to flash official stock rom to boot up

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

I am also having the same problem
I have sony Xperia S.

Now I can't use memory stick that I used to use before with OTG cable. And now, if I am trying to enter flash mode by pressing volume down key, the led turn green for a while only about 10 sec while this was happening, my pc say that USB device not recognized. So, now I can't use flashtool or sony update service tool(SUS) as well.
Now I am using stock .96 rom with no error but I want to install CWM and also want to unlock boot loader again to test some custom roms.
Pls help me what I have to do and what should. I am now in Delhi.

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!
This is what I was using:

Hi,
I have a UK Sony Xperia Tab Z, WiFi only 32G, it was running 4.1.2 stock with root. After a very long wait of sitting on the fence because of the loss of Tab UI (now sorted with phab7), I finally plucked up the courage to update my Tab Z to the latest Jelly Bean 4.3, using my MAC I ran Sony Bridge, it detected my device and offered to do the update. The whole update downloaded ok but it failed to install with an error about the update engine.
My worse nightmare ...... I'm not that familiar with advanced Android OS issues so please forgive my ignorance. first I tried the update again - multiple times in fact using different USB ports but always the same error. So then I tried running the Sony Update Service under Windows, It found the device and downloaded the update again but again it failed to install the up date (I tried both install options - SW Update only / Data Reset and Update) - I followed the on screen instructions correctly but always the same problem, again I tried different ports.
Starting to panic now ....
Looking through these forums and others for help ....
I've tried holding down the PWR & VOL_UP button for 10 seconds, and letting go, I tried it and then released the PWR button after 10 secs but keep VOL_UP held down, but no matter what i do it wont start up. Some times the SONY logo appears then fades to black after a few seconds....
I really don't understand what could have gone wrong, the device was working fine and the battery was 100% charged. I've tried the button combos with it in and out of the dock and connected by USB but still same result.
I cant believe that something that should work WITHOUT-FAIL does not work, I've always been an IOS/MAC man and the Sony Tab Z has been my one and only Android Device, I like the device for its design and lightness but this sort of catastrophic failure has been the thing thats aways put me off Android, it just should not happen - sure IOS sometimes can get corrupted but you can just about always get out of the problem in DSM mode, is there such a mode with Android & Xperia TAB Z. Can anybody help ?
Update: If I now put the Tab in the Charging Cradle, it seems to be stuck in a loop, first the charge led is orange, then after a few seconds it turns red and the backlight switches on, the SONY logo appears for a few seconds then it looks like it resets, the backlight turns off and after a few seconds it repeats the sequence ... continuously ?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your advice.
I tried SUS again and this time it started to install but the progress bar stopped around 30% and i got the same message, so i tried again and it bombed out after around the same amount of time so i swapped the USB cable for the one it came with (normaly used to connect the changing cradle) and it worked......Phew was really starting to think the thing was bricked. I guess this proves that all USB cables are not equal ?, strange though as i've used the same cable for a long time now with loads of other devices (camera, kindle, SD reader, label printer ..etc) and have not had any issues but it worked soon as I changed the cable .... maybe Sony cable is better screened as it is a bit thicker than the other.
Everyday a School day ....
So now I have got 4.3 stock running what is best method to get root back ?

Thank you for the link but I dont understand why I need to reflash?
Is there not a direct way to gain root?
To get root on 4.2.2 I just had to run a script and reboot
Ive read throgh those instructions and it looks like I have to install unlocked bootloader and then flash modified firmware
I thought that if boot loader is unlocked some of the Sony features no longer work?
Is there no way to gain root on stock 4.3 with locked BL?

Hello everybody,
I have a big problem because my Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6802 doesn't work anymore and doesn't respond to touch anymore since i flashed a certain twrp-recovery to the recovery-partition with fastboot.
So that's why i'm forced to connect my wired mouse to it to be able to control it as far as that's possible. I tried to flash another twrp-recovery to it but fastboot doesn't work anymore and is broken, or so it seems. In any case it's impossible to use fastboot or adb for that matter because the phone wont boot into the bootloader-mode. So could someone please help me with this issue??!! Before i started to hack my phone it worked perfectly and the display responded normally to touch input. The only thing i can do with it at the moment is boot into twrp and the rom which is Lineage-os 18.1. But even when i'm booted into the rom the display still doesn't respond to touch anymore and i still have to use my connected wired mouse to use it.
I hope to hear from you soon about this!
Kind regards,
Laurens

It seems your Z ultra is soft bricked. All you have to do is download "Xperia Companion" software
and press "Software Repair", then check the option "My device cannot be detected or started...", then follow the steps provided.
As a result you will have your zultra with a fresh stock rom (Lollipop) from Sony.
Then, you can custom mod your phone again.
EDIT: don't forget to lock your bootloader before running xperia companion!

I only have one more question: since i can't get access to the bootloader (fastboot), how do i bypass the problem of having to re-lock the bootloader again with (needed) access to the bootloader and fastboot before continuing with Xperia Companion??
Try This:
- Download FlashTool (I'm using version 0.9.30 and it works on my Zultra)
- Extract it to a folder (eg c:\flashtool)
- Go to C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the drivers (FASTBOOT, FLASHMODE and everything with Zultra... )
- Run C:\Flashtool\FlashTool64.exe, and let it update througth github
- Press the BLU botton, follow the instructions on how to connect your phone, then select the model and press Relock
EDIT: The following approach is the flashmode, so you may not have a problem. Please report here if you finally succeed unbricking your phone...
Good luck

Could you please upload Flashtool 0.9.30 somewhere and post the downloadlink here in this thread? Because version 0.9.30 is nowhere to be found when i search for it with Google. Only version 0.9.34 is available from the official Flashtool-website, or can i use that one also?
Edit: well first i tried to run Xperia Companion while my phone was unlocked (just to confirm if it works or not) and it didn't gave me any errors, but now it does give me an error saying it can't continu because my phone is locked and i first have to unlock it again before continuing. Do you have any ideas on how to proceed now?
Ps: also my phone is now dead since i locked it again and doesn't respond to anything except it vibrates shortly after pushing the on-button but nothing appears on screen!
Ps1: It appears so that Xperia Companion probably means with "that my phone is locked" that i have a screenlock which i need to unlock first before proceeding.
And yet another thing happened namely: the program complaints about me not having a working internet-connection which doesn't make any sense since every other device in my house has a good working internet connection! I have included a picture of the error below so you can see what i mean.
Eventually it worked!! after successfully relocking the bootloader my phone was completely dead and only vibrated shortly after pressing the power-button and that was it. But since Flashtool reported that the relocking-procedure was successfully fullfilled, i then carried on with Xperia Companion but this time on my Macbook Air (because of the error i got on Windows, see screenshot).
Finally i managed to let it install the original sofware and this time it completely reanimated my phone again, and even my display returned back to normal again!!
So now i can finally begin all over with installing the latest Lineage version onto the phone, thanks to you!!
Ps: before i forget: i found eventually a Flashtool website which has the version you got (0.9.30) so i downloaded that and used it in the process!!
So i can't express enough how much i appreciate your help and can't thank you enough for all of this!!
Glad you could make it!
This is the standard procedure when things go wrong with custom flashing with any xperia device that becomes completely unresponsive.
Two things:
- version 0.9.30 is what I'm currently using. Most likely the newer versions are working as well.
- To unlock your bootloader again, you only have to press the BLU button in Flash Tool and then UNLOCK.
