Hello guys, i have sony xz1 g431, i bricked my phone when i try to install another rom of another device via twrp. Now my phone no light when connect to pc, no light when charging, flash tool doesnt recognize my phone. When i connect my phone to pc it only shows QUSB_BULK on my pc. I think it lost fastboot or something. I try hold down button, up button or both when connect to pc but still no light and nothing happen.
Please help me fix this problem or atleast some good suggestions to solve this problem. I will really happy for that. Thanks :crying:
Just have the phone powered off, hold just only the volume down button and while holding it, connect the phone to usb cable to your PC.
It should enter flash mode (green light), where you can flash stock firmware via newflasher (or possibly also via flashtool, but I do not use that).
If you have the phone off, hold volume up button while connecting to usb, it should enter fastboot (blue light), which also may be used for some recovery, if the phone has been unlocked (or for the unlock itself).
If any of those modes are available, the phone should be possible to recover.

i have tried it but there's no light. I think it's dead :crying:
@Karl Einstein, have you tried both ways as suggested above?
Maybe you can examine what usb device appear (if any) in each of the described modes (tried to enter flash mode, tried to enter fastboot mode, tried to just plug the phone to usb without holding any button from power off state).
What happens if you try to enter recovery mode (twrp) - having your phone powered off, without usb connection, holding volume down and power, should enter twrp if you had it flashed before.
Do you get any vibration when hold the power button and.volume.key.up?

Well...I think your phone is dead...I'm really sorry to say that, but in this case, that is the only reasonable explanation.
Yesterday I flashed the GSI image, then tried to flash to eXistenZ, it just stuck in the startup interface. However, it can still enter flash mode and fastboot mode, I have no choice but to use the newflasher to re-flash the firmware, it will return to normal.
In general, Sony devices are hard to change bricks, unless the phone is a Japanese carrier's custom phone (generally can not unlock the bootloader, and can only flash some firmware).
I have seen users who have flashed CE firmware for the docomo version and then can't enter flash mode and fastboot mode.Unlike your device,her phone is totally dead...It can't be charged, and there is no prompt to connect to the computer.
If you can buy a motherboard from eBay or somewhere else,you can disassemble your phone,then replace the old motherboard.
Hope these helps.
Thank you guys for all your support. Finally i decided to skip this problem and i will buy a new device

Just a side note , why flash existenz on a gsi rom... As it is made for stock Sony only or did I just misread something..
I had the same issue before on my lenovo p2 it lost fastboot and download mode but the PC detect it as qusb bulk then Qualcomm USB h9008 I searched all solutions but no good I think it needs some kind of box to push the modes or change the mother board. So I changed to Sony instead of repair it

Sad to ear that...
I had the same issue with my previous Htc10.
As it was still under warranty, I have had to contact HTC support and told them that and OTA bricked it.
They accepted the issue and replaced the motherboard.
I was BL unlocked, rooted and custom rom when it happened and no issue with support as they had no mean to prove it ?.
If still under warranty try to contact Sony support and tell them the same story... Ota bricks my phone ?

I've flashed eXistenZ before flash GSI in my phone. I thought GSI image would cover my origin ROM like eXistenZ, so after flash GSI image in,I flash eXistenZ again.

I have the same issue. My sony xperia xz1 G8342 got sudden dead. (Before dead, I remember I disabled "Developer Mode"). Now its not response by any mean except charging sign when i connect to Power source or PC. Xperia Flashtool shows "device connected with USB debugging disabled".
So, How Can I enter flash mode or fastboot mode? Is My phone recoverable? Please Help.
Thanks
Yesterday I was struggling with my XZ1 Compact and came across this thread that gave me some light to get my mobile phone back.
I guess it's way late for Karl now but just in case, I'm sharing my experience. I was working on my device to get LineageOS 18, as I'm a total newbie with roms I followed the different articles that were posted on Getdroidtips for this particular case: Unlocked bootloader, flashed TRWP and installled lineageos. But then I realized it would be good to have Google Play for restoring my files and apps, but when tried to reboot into recovery mode to get Gapps flashed, Black Screen Of Death started.
After that
with the phone plugged to the pc it wasn't recognized as a device (so adb or fasboot where useless)
the only thing the phone reacted to was to press and hold power + volume up (either for reset or power off)
but no matter what, next boot again BSoD
Tried the Xperia Companion but it prompted that repair was not possible as bootloader was unlocked.
Eventually found this life saver

From there, using fasboot I could reboot the device back with the LineageOS. I was still having issues with recovery boot but I'll post that on a different thread.
Thanks again to everyone for sharing thoughts and tips!

Hey,
I have a problem. My tablet is SGP312 has Cyanogenmod 11 (FXP247 - Android 4.4). It was bricked when I type in Terminal:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
Was turned off and will not turn on at all.
Power button = NOTHING
Power button + Vol(+) 3/10/25 secs = NOTHING
Power button + Vol(-) 3/10/25 secs = NOTHING
Power button + Voll(+) + USB = NOTHING
No LED light, It's literally a paperweight. I can't even put it into Flashmode.
Please help me!
Anyone can help me?

Are you sure u can't put it in to flash mode, because that's the first thing I would do
Try putting it into fast boot mode
Hold volume up button and keep holding it and connect it to the pc
If you see blue light on your tablet, it means it has successfully entered fast boot mode
Make sure all the drivers are installed
Or
Follow the following procedures
Install Sony Ericsson flash tool and install all the drivers
Hold volume down button and keep holding it and connect it to pc
Once you hear the connecting sound our Any notification on your pc saying that it is connected, go ahead and flash the ftf file

in my opinion, the drivers are not correctly installed
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-tablet-z-sgp311-sgp312-driver/
go to the website and download and load the drivers on your pc
its just weird that it says device connected with Usb debugging off when it is actually powered off
try charging your device, maybe the battery needs to be charged leave it there for atleast 30 mins then try the steps
let us know if you fixed it or not

I have a similar problem, I've flashed plenty of devices before, never briked a thing.
By unloking the bootloader the data partition of my brand new tablet Z went corrupted. I've tried to flash several firmware but none was succesfull (couldn't format data...), and finally it get totally bricked! no light, nothing... I was not even able to put it in flash mode (no light ever!).
I've tried after a while, I've read with some other Xperia devices, it would be possible to recover it after some time, by letting the battery die, then use some rubber trick to keep vol- pressed... you can find it in XDA forums what I'm talking about. However after a month my tablet was still dead. no light, no nothing!
I've sent it to warranty and the just said that "an alternative firmware was flashed" (voiding the warranty) "and has rendered the logic board unusable".... and they have to order a new unit!!
I feel so surprise that even the cheapest chinese tablet have an harware mode that allow to reflash and resuscitate it back to factory... even if the firmware is completely screwed, and a 600$ tablet for a simple bootloader unlock got totaly bricked.
I wonder if there is an "hardware" way to recover the tablet (I saw it's pretty easy to tear down the Xperia tablet Z), by directly accessing the NAND... or by accessing some PIN (well I know sony would have not leaked such information)
Hi guys,
I have mk16i(xperia pro), and installed latest lx cm11 build. Then, I tried dark's kernel. But I wanted to revert to the stock kernel.
Now at that point, i couldn't enter the fastboot or flash mode anymore. The OS running w/o any problem. But i'm stuck with the dark's kernel(which is very battery unfriendly,10 hour standby)
When i try to connect the phone to PC while pressing menu(or back button) the LED blinks for miliseconds and the phone continues switching on normally (enter OS).
I know it is my fault to install nonstock kernel but I really need help. If anyone experienced this issue, it will be great to hear the advice.
Thanks in advance
Try taking out the battery for a few seconds, reinserting it, pressing the button for fastboot mode (I don't know which one you have to use for the xperia pro) and then you connect it to your PC while keeping the button pressed. This should work

Thanks for the reply.
I tried it many times. But no chance... The LED blinks then the phone goes into OS.
I tried to reboot fastboot via adb commands. Again same result. Directly goes to OS.
Flashtool also stucks at "Device will soon enter fastboot mode" nothing happens. Phone stays on...
Is it hw fault? I will be very disappointed if so I replaced its digitizer recently by paying too much money.) It was expensive when i bought it also... I cant stand buying a new phone these times... pff too many issues...
Sounds weird. I have made the experience that it sometimes helps to take the battery out, then keep pressing multiply and long the power button. Wait ~10 minutes. Insert the battery and try again!
Hopefully it helps!
Otherwise could maybe be kernel related. Try to flash another one (with recovery).

We are not able to flash kernel thru recovery in XPeria devices i think.

i think you done it allready but better than have adead phone:
- re check if all drivers installed (android sdk with its google driveer, flashtool drivers)
put out battery , put in & hold volume down while plugging cabel in. (if led not stays blue, pull out abttery, put in & reconnect but hold other button like menu key) --> try all buttons
i cant imagine flashing darks kernel broke yr bootloader. theres sth wrong with your machine / setup / whatever.

Thanks for the answers. Yes unlocked bootloader.
Since the device doesn't boot into "flash" mode also, i am not able to flash ftf through flashtool or any firmware via SEUS.
I had managed to enter fastboot mode once!
Happened with USB3.0 port via "adb reboot-bootloader" command.
Still, I am not getting into fastboot again...
I will inform you, thanks guys.
EDIT: I did it once again thru adb in recovery and flashed a stock kernel. Let me see the battery drain is due to kernel or some hw damage.
I am sure hw is damaged...
Ultimately solved...
After i am able to enter fastboot mode via some funny method described above, i erased system partition and flashed kernel.sin of the official .587 ftf file of Sony Xperia Pro.
Now the device is able to enter flash mode and fastboot mode via normal ways...
Thanks guys...
EDIT: I dont understand how is it related to kernel? I thought that bootloader files are damaged which i cannot correct them.
There are many .sin files in the stock .ftf which i cannot flash any of them without flash mode.(i was able to enter fastboot mode only)

Guys please help. I am very confused now: When i connect the phone to charger(AC) when the phone is OFF, the phone tries to enter flash mode!?! Led blinks green then the phone continues to open and offline charging animation comes as usual.
Sometimes the phone connects the charger in flash mode! But doesnt connect to usb in flash mode or fastboot mode. I know it is a bit confusing but that is the situation.
Thanks...
my xperia device is stuck on the sony logo. wont pass that part. doesn't go into flashmode or fastboot, nothing. what can I do plz I need help. cant use flashmode on the pc as the computer never recognizes the phone bcuz it doesn't go into fastboot mode.
If your phone even starts, then fastboot and flashmode should work just fine. What's the last thing you did before it wouldn't boot?
1. Hold VOL UP while plugging it in the USB on your computer. The LED should get blue
2. Either use fastboot through command-line or use QuickIMG to boot a custom kernel with recovery.
3. Flash or restore a ROM

Do the following exactly as outlined.
1- with the phone DISCONNECTED from your pc or charger, hold the power and up buttons until it vibrates and turns off.
2- open the flashtool and select an ftf to flash, and wait for the message that asks you to connect the phone in flash mode.
3- the phone must still be off. Hold the down button and connect the phone to the usb port in the pc. The flashing will start.
I tried that it goes back to the sony logo.

How did you try to unroot? It's weird if you don't have working fastboot or flashmode, and without those, you're pretty much screwed. Those two should work even if you screw up big-time, like flashing a wrong kernel, but you must have done something weird if they stopped working?
And let me get this straight, you are pressing and HOLDING the volume buttons when you plug it to your computer, right? Make sure that the device is completely off by pressing and holding POWER + VOL UP. It'll vibrate a couple of times. Note that you're not supposed to be connected to the computer, since it'll then just boot again.
Then press and HOLD VOL UP for fastboot (blue LED), OR VOL DOWN for flashmode (green LED flashing shortly)
You probably already know these steps, but we have to make it absolutely certain that it's a hardware issue, and not an issue with the thing you do

I was going to flash the stock rom using flashtool right but everytime i tried to put the phone into fastboot mode it would go to the battery icon. At this point the phone was working fine. But no fastboot mode at all. Then i factory erased the phone through twrp. After that it doesnt boot up. Just sony logo no led lights. Even if i do vol up or down. Straight to the sony logo. Vol up plus power button, vibrates couple of times. I redo the process and it goes back to the sony logo.

The thing is that the screen shouldn't power on when you enter fastboot. The only thing that should go on is the blue LED. I don't use TWRP, and I don't know how it wipes stuff and if it only deletes user data, or if it formats the system. If it does the latter, then it literally wipes the system partition, making it empty, so if you ever format the system, you should flash a new ROM ASAP. A little late for that now though, but I'm still not convinced that fastboot isn't working.
ONE LAST TIME :laugh:
NOTE: The device should be disconnected from the computer.
1. Turn the device OFF by holding and pressing the POWER button and VOL UP. It should be disconnected from the computer by now. Got it? Nice.
2. Plug the USB-cable in the device first, since it's easier to plug it into the computer. Do not plug it into the computer yet. Only the Ultra.
3. Now HOLD VOL UP. Just hold it in.
4. Stick the USB cable, which is already inside your Ultra, to your computer WHILE still holding VOL UP.
5. The blue LED above the screen should light up now. The display should not power on or anything else. The blue LED is the only thing that should turn on.
Still nothing?

Check whether the drivers have been properly installed in ur PC. If u can't get into flashmode try another system to flash the ftf. Procedure hold volume down while connecting the usb to plug. U will see a green led blink.

Wooooohoooo phones alive jajaja. Thankssss. Though i got some more questions. First time i unlocked boatloader i was told to backup my TA files. what do i do with those now? I just flashed a stock c6806 unbranded rom. When i try to update the phone through settings it says it couldn't verify the update. i retried the process through sony companion app, and it says my phone is modded so it wont do anything.

The TA partition is where your DRM keys are. It's a good idea to backup those keys in case you want to revert to complete stock in the future, or when you need to send it in for repairs. Unlocking the bootloader will remove the keys, but since your device was - weirdly enough, already bootloader unlocked, I don't think you even had DRM keys to start with, which is again, very weird.
No biggie though. Gone is gone. The reason why PC Companion told you that it's been modified, is because you're rooted, and it knows it, so you'll have to unroot before you update. That's only if you're updating through official channels, but you have a second alternative; Flashtool. It allows you to flash stock Sony ROMs, or FTF-files.
But you're saying that you flashed a stock 6806 ROM now, and that's what? 5.0.2? Why don't you just download the .368-update (Android 5.1.1)? Then you'll be on the latest version.

The TA partition is where your DRM keys are. It's a good idea to backup those keys in case you want to revert to complete stock in the future, or when you need to send it in for repairs. Unlocking the bootloader will remove the keys, but since your device was - weirdly enough, already bootloader unlocked, I don't think you even had DRM keys to start with, which is again, very weird.
No biggie though. Gone is gone. The reason why PC Companion told you that it's been modified, is because you're rooted, and it knows it, so you'll have to unroot before you update.

I did unlock bootloader myself, TA file were backup. My phone is the 6806 model. The only ftf file i found on xda with a working link was for 4.2 jellybean. I just restored my TA files am going to reflash that stock rom and see what it says now.

have my xperia z ultra same error that file will solve i dont know if my sony has unlock bootloader,
I know that this thread is more of same, but I didn't found any answer that helps me.
The story is:
My Xperia 2363 M4 Aqua Dual recived a call and I lost it. Then when I took it and turn on the screen to see the caller, my device just restarted and went to the purple waves screen, but stuck there the system didn't start. Since this, the only thing that phone do is that, it never starts the android system.
I've tried everything that I read
So the things I've tried is:
Restart the phone by holding the power + vol up buttons
Turn off the phone by holding the power + vol up buttons until 3 vibes
Turn on the phone holdin the vol up + vol down buttons
Reinstall software by xperia companion but the software didn't start the process
reinstall software by flashtool but the device isn't found by the flashtool
connect the phone on pc holding vol up button
connect the phone on pc holding vol down button
connect the phone on pc holding vol up + vol down buttons
connect the phone holding all the buttons
the fastboot and bootloader modes don't enter and the pc says that usb device can't recognized by the windows.
I have no ideas of what i do
Can you help me?

Thanks for reply. No, didn't flash a blue screen, it just restarted like when we hold the power +vol up buttons
And it not keep restartin, the phone turns on and stays on the waves screen. don't start the system so as don't restart.
If you device is not being recognized by you PC, Try fastbooting the device using a linux (Mint, what i used for similiar issue), it will hopefully recognize your device and you would be able to flash it.

Unfortunately no. I couldn't fix this yet, it is because I' can't go fastboot mode on my device
have you any other suggestion?
no i have that problem by the way if you can fix the prob. then contact me pls
The other phone you tried was a Xperia?
And are you on Win8 or Win10 because if you are, you have to install the drivers in unsafe mode(Don't remember how it's really called).
Furthermore if you don't have anything important in the phone try flashing a new version of Android or the same but do a clean install I.E Wipe everything and leave like new by installing with Flashtool(unsafe mode too, because it needs drivers if you are on Win8>10 when installing)
The phone has been in the drawer for quite a long time (5+ Years)
I come to try flash root to it and it wont boot into fastboot. all that happens is a black screen and nothing else.
ADB reports it as being there till it reboots ( 'adb reboot bootloader' ) , when the phone reboots its a black screen and if i plug in a usb lead then i get the standard windows was unable to recognise this device. ( Attached is a device manager Grab of it )
I have tried to use Flashtool64 (latest version) it reboots to the same black screen. The only way then to get it back to a usable phone is to unplug the lead and press the power button till it vibrates.
I have spent 10+ hours reading and reading everywhere and nothing that has been suggested has been succesful.
This is my last hope ( I realise its a 10 year old phone) and am hoping someone can help me sort this out.
Many Thanks in advance
You wrote nothing about the version of adb and drivers you are using.

Tried that.i have spent a very long time on this. Starting to get to the point that the phone is poop. And needs to be binned
To confirm the functionality of the equipment.
Can you transfer files from/to phone in adb mode?
Yes, the device problem only happens when it reboots to bootloader for fastboot access. I think bootloader is corrupted . Can't flash new one without boitloader/fastboot access. Well that's my understanding
What about flashmode?
Flash mode:
1) Connect the USB cable to the computer (do not connect it to the phone yet)
2) Turn off the phone
3) When the phone turns off, plug the USB cable into the phone and hold the Volume Down button
4) The phone should boot into Flashmod mode!
Your Xperia Z Ultra should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green
Fastboot mode:
1) Connect the USB cable to your computer (don't connect it to the phone yet)
2) Turn off the phone
3) When the phone turns off, plug the USB cable into the phone and hold the Volume Up button
4) The phone should boot into fastboot mod!
Your Xperia Z Ultra should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Blue

Same. Even EMMA doesn't work. Which was a suggestion. Or flash prog (used old and new) all seem to reboot to bootloader/fastboot which has same error as stated.
The usb vol down with plugging in usb / power on doesn't work either.
neither does the vol up + power / usb
ammended to clarify
when powering up/vol down i get a short vibration, then it boots normally. pressing vol up + power gets black screen.
usb + vol Down does nothing, usb + Vol up also does nothing
I am thinking that the phone is not booting into a software that 'tells the USB what it is. Th OS boots fine tho and it sees the phone and can xfer to and from the phone
