[Q] Xperia Ray Boot-Loop(Tried Everything) Help - General Questions and Answers

Hello Friends, (The topic could be added with "USB device not recognized" as well.)
I have rooted the Optimax v1.1 Rom months ago on my Xperia Ray. I cannot ask these at the Optimax thread because I dont have any posts up to now. Yesterday I wanted to change my rom but before doing the procedures, I erased all the data both in phone root and sd card by settings section on phone. Then my phone didn't worked again. There is a boot-loop problem. I have been searching for 7 hours and did every possible ways that people talked and still couldn't solve the problem. First and very important problem is that when I plug the phone in flashmode or fastmode windows gives an error of "USB device not recognized". I removed all the sony stuff and flashtool and pda.net drivers. I also removed all the staff which includes "Xperia" at regedit. Then I tried the steps at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805 for so many times. However it still doesnt recognize therefore I cannot flash the boot-loop problem solver. The only way that boot-loop doesnt occur is when I plug the phone to computer and turn it on with normal way. I cannot use application menu since there isnt any launcher application is installed also there isnt any keyboard application. Therefore I cannot do anything about this. I wrote a long paragraph to explain my problem because I have a midterm two days later which means I can't explain the issue to people by one by. I hope you can help me.

After a sleep break, with a refreshed brain, I tried the hard brick solution steps with another computer and lastly I solved the issue.

I'm glad it worked for you.
I was in a similar situation (well, not as bad, I had all my data on sd) but that method in the post didn't work for me as SEUS kept telling me I already had the last version.
I manage to fix it by flashing a Stock ROM in ftf file format with Flashtool.
I'm just mentioning for others in the similar situation so they know there is an alternative.
Thanks.

[Q] Totally bricked XPERIA X10 Mini Pro (U20)

Hi there.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason de device stopped syncing my Gapps data. OEM 2.1 ROM. I did a backup and reset the device to factory defaults. Even if battery went to 100% and the USB cable were connected, the phone did not finished the process and now I have a non turning on mini pro. Mac does not feel it, neither Windoze or Linux with dmesg. PC Companion won´t see it neither. Neither FlashTool. I tried to flash it with the original ftf but the phone do not turn on and of course FlashTool won't see it. Tried pressing home and on/off but nothing. I searched like a dork for "bricked xperia x10 mini pro" but there´s a lot of crowd calling a semi-bricked, bricked. Which is not, because a semi-bricked can be repaired with SEUS or even FlashTool.
I know is a whole different animal, but once I bricked a Nokia and with some trickery the device came to life.
Guys, you`re my only hope. I really like this phone for texting and everything.
Thank you for reading. Best regards.

What do you mean?
When PC Campanion says "hold back key and connect phone to USB" then It detects the device.
I have bricked SE Xperia X10 mini pro, same simptoms phone doesn't react to anything it's absolutely silent, no image, no text.
And yes I tried SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool (with ggsetup) and Omnius. Nothing hepled.
May be a battery is down but I can't check it as well.

Same here. The phone doesn't react to "off" button, No LEDs, no display, no sound, won't get recognized by Flashtool when USB plugged in with "back" held, a total, real brick, dark and dead and invisible to all software.
The battery was full - it was full when the phone got bricked by installing a kernel for ICS.

I have the same problem please help:crying:

When you put the tick called "preloader" in Flashtools - then the phone is dead... now only jtag method may can help you(in some phone service)

I remember that one morning I found my Xperia Arc S with stock GB 2.3.4 rom like dead although it was fine when I plugged the charger in before I slept. In the morning I couldn't turn it on, removing and replacing battery did nothing. No light when I charged it. It was really looking like it was forever dead. After a few days, in despair, I tried every reset method I could find about Xperia phones, except the one that finally worked:
I holded the back or menu button (I forgot which one) then plugged in the USB cordon to the computer. I got a green or blue light! I learned later that it was Fastboot mode or Flash mode. Then I unplugged the device, and it started like if nothing happened. I only had this problem once again. Since I rooted it and installed a custom rom, I never had this issue again.
If you didn't try this yet, that is worth trying

[Q] Numerous Issues Z3V

I have the Xperia Z3V. Model D6708, firmware version 23.0.E.1.44. I have recently tried rooting my device (as per the steps found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/xperia-z3v-general/guide-sony-xperia-z3v-t3100402). I have run into numerous issues with this, as well as an unrelated issue.
As far as the rooting process, I have gotten flashtool and the ftf file downloaded and setup. I have successfully sent my phone into flash mode. Where I run into issues is as soon as I choose the firmware version to flash (located in the .flashtool/firmwares/Downloads directory) it will prepare the files for flashing, but as soon as it starts it errors out and tells me I need drivers for my phone.
So I go to get the drivers, I download them directly from here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z3-driver/ . They don't work when installed manually through Windows device manager, I Google the issue and see that I should just use the PC companion. I get that all downloaded and setup, and a new issue arises. Initially my phone doesn't get detected in MTP, MSC, or debug mode so I mess with it a bit and have it auto detect. Finally it detects my device and starts attempting to get drivers, but on the last step it says PC companion needs to update, even though it already had, and is the latest version from Sony's website. Eventually it gets to a point where it goes through attempting to install my drivers but at the end, a new issue; "Sorry, the phone/tablet does not work with PC Companion.".
So what the hell am I supposed to do? Even Sony apparently doesn't know what to do with my phone. I have tried everything I can reasonably imagine. Reboots, factory resets, different modes of reboots. I cannot for the life of my get anything to work with this blasted phone.
To add to this frustration (and the whole reason for me trying this in the first place) is the phone has been doing the sleep of death recently. I have only had this phone for a little over a month and it has gone into the SOD 4 separate times. I have not dropped it, I have not water tested it, and I have not altered the software (since it appears to be f**** impossible anyways).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I really wanted to love this phone, but it has been a complete nightmare so far. Not aided by the fact of course that it's through Verizon so I'm sure their special brand of f*** you is tossed in here.

[Completed] How to unbrick Xperia S lt26i [not a noob]

I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)

Help - after flashing with Flashtool phone is showing errors and restarting

Hello,
I have Xperia Z3 D6603 with android 6.0.1 and wanted to root it, I've looked up the topic and found good guide on XDA.
I've just started to follow instructions in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056.
So I used Flashtool and used FW linked in the guide. After succesful flash my phone got in some loop of errors and it's restarting continuously - the video below shows the process.
https://youtu.be/_Pi58MvK4_o
I tried to flash it with other FW (second linked in the guide), it looked like success but phone behaves the same - same errors.
Any suggestions what should I do to fix it? Or which tool use to try? Is there sth I'm doing wrong with the Flashtool, some special option I should use?
Thanks for every help!

Before anything else goes wrong you should try Sony PC Companion.
Get the phone back to a stable state before you root. You might end up sending it under warranty if you still have it.
Use flashtool to flash the ftf for your country / wherever the phone is from. Then even if you still get the same behavior you can use PC Companion which will auto detect and download the correct firmware for the device and flash it. The only reason to flash the ftf for your country is so that PC Companion downloads this also. That way if you do take it for repairs you won't get asked why it's changed (they can check)
That guide works though so you probably did nothing wrong. Either a software error occurred along the way (try reinstalling all the flashtool drivers with signature verification turned off in windows) or you uncovered a hardware fault that Sony needs to fix.
Welcome to Xperia Rooting

Are you sure you selected the options to wipe data and cache in flash tool?
If you don't do this, you can often end in bootloop.

Thank you guys, I'm fresh in this topic so I got pretty confused when sth went wrong.
I've already used Xperia companion, it worked properly, now I'll make second attempt with downgrading and rooting.
Many thanks once again!
