During what process you got this ?
Have you unlocked the bootloader ?
Or Flashed something ?
If No then Install Sony Update Service ( SUS ) on your PC. I recommend Windows XP OS on PC for doing this process.
Choose your device in the Software and it will install firmware again in your device and your device will get refreshed completely.
Go Here --> http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/
If you have your bootloader unlocked.
Try flashing the stock firmware using Flashtool.
Here I give you the complete guide for this. Download the firmware .FTF and follow the installation guide.

here is screenshot,when xperia e c1504 is connected to my pc

So now Use SUS or Flash the stock firmware directly usinf the Flashtool.
LOL Trust me it will work. It will just refresh your whole system.
Whenever you are flashing your stock firmware it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked.
And next time research on the apps which effect hardware before installing them that whether they are compatible with your device or not.

Why? Why did you?
It does not work on E.
The exact same thing happened to me too when I installed Pimp My Beats (beats audio).
I fixed it through SUS.
But you can simply flash the stock FTF using Flashtool, they're available for download on xda. A simple search will lead you there.

[Q] [D2303/D2305] PC won't recognize my device after attempted root

Good day all I have a question regarding my new device which I attempted to root. I have searched these forums and can't find anyone with the same problem as mine. Running 4.4.4.
For reference, I was following this guide: http: //tinyurl.com/o6v3hqf
Everything was going swimmingly. I followed the steps in the guide exactly up to and including typing "fastboot reboot". Once I did this, my PC would no longer recognise the device that was plugged in. In addition, the Xperia M2 will not boot, the Sony logo will appear and then the screen will intermittently flash. I can boot it into recovery mode, just fine, but there is no file on my Xperia to boot from.
The next step in the guide says to install SuperSU from an SD card which I am confident I can achieve, but I am concerned that my PC won't be able to recognise my device if the root is successful (therefore I wouldn't be able to transfer over music etc).
Will my PC be able to recognise the device once the root is successful? Should there be additional steps I need to take?
Sorry if my questions seem Noob-ish this is my first smartphone.
Thank you for reading

.
Open the sim tray.
There will be a small hole. Jam a thin pen or a pin or paper click into it.
Wait a few seconds and make sure screen is off. Go into a dark room or somin. If it's not hold the pin in until it is.
Upon boot spam the down vol. as fast as you can.
It'll send you into CWM.
Then you should be able to follow into the rest.
Also using the UK and the International .ftf i was unable to root (i could but after it was bricked)
So i had to use the vietnam rom.
ALSO it was (here comes the hate m8)
You didn't read it properly and was partially your own fault. It clearly states it for 4.3.X running 18.0.A.1.30 – v01. By running a boot.img or kernel based on "completely wrong" generations you have bricked it your self.
I suggest you redo this but following this guide here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/tut-flashing-ftf-4-nbz-t2970145
Flash the vietnam .ftf also find out what model your phone is D2303 or D2305.
Wrong .ftf will waste a good 30mins of downloading and render your phone useless until further flashing a new rom or ftf.
Then flash the boot.img from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
The 2 posts explains it very well in the posts it selves. But don't be afraid to ask questions.
Hope I helped

Thank you for the advice. I agree I started following a guide without doing the necessary research. 100% my own fault. I will read the guide you posted and report back!
I can't find this Vietnam ftf anywhere.
My model is D2303. I have followed the above guide but flashed to Central Europe 4.4.2. I am still looking for a Vietnam .ftf file. I have found links for Malaysia and Russia, but no Vietnam yet.

I used the internal/journalists jb4.3 ftf top one in list on flashtool. Has the 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 updates waiting once booted up. I'm in UK and it works 4g n data just fine ,I Rooted 4.3 with towelroot apk (one çlick) then updated over the air twice each time checking root with root checker. Then force root with flashtool then installed SuperSU but don't update binarys in SuperSU till you have forced root and updated to 4.4.4 this was my first time ever rooting a phone too.
It helps to do your home work though i did two months reading up on here and the net it helped loads

[Falshtool] D6603 bootloop after manual updat

Hi,
I'have tried to manual update my D6603 Xperia Z3 to the latest firmware 23.1.A.1.232 (from 23.1.A.1.200) which is StageFright free.
I downloaded the FTF from XperiaFirm and than I flashed it using flashtool, no errors displayed. The phone now is in bootloop, stuck in boot animation.
My phone was unlocked and not rooted
Please, help

You didn't have to use flashtool. Use PC Companion. Sony's tool does the update for you.

Ok, I know, but my purpose was to change form Customized-ES to Custominzed-IT.
Once done that I would have downgraded my phone to Kitkat in order to root it.
Some minutes ago I managed to run 23.4.A.1.232 on my D6603 but I have some compatibility issues, preinstalled GAPPS don't run and the screen back illumination never turn off. I really don't know whats going on on that phone...
Now I'm using sony companion tool to repair the phone, if all goes right and I'm not going back to Customised-ES later I'll try to root it.
Basically all of this was a trial to understand if a was able to root it.

Phone stuck in bootloop after update to nougat

Hey everyone,
Yesterday I installed the new 32.3.A.0.376 update on my 100% Stock Z5 (E6653) via the xperia companion.
After the update it was stuck in a bootloop (crashes and restarts shortly after the android animation finishes)
Here is the full timeline:
Update via xperia companion -> bootlop
Remove SD Card and SIM -> bootlop
Repair via xperia companion -> bootloop
Second repair via xperia companion -> bootloop
Flash Nougat with the flashtool -> bootloop
Flash latest non-nougat firmware -> it boots!
This time I did the update to nougat via OTA -> bootloop
Flash different nougat firmare via flashtool -> bootloop
Back to marshmallow...
Factory reset & Install update via xperia companion on a different computer -> bootloop
Install marshmallow, factory reset & Install ota update -> bootloop
So basically i tried every possible combination of installing the update without unlocking the bootloader or other things that might void warranty. It just won't boot!
What do you guys think might be the cause for this? And what can i try to get nougat working on my device before sending it in for a repair? Thanks!

how about cables? have you tried using different usb cables? how about non sony cables? or any other authentic original cable! like samsung usb2 ?

Cables? Sounds more like voodoo too me I mean I did the whole thing without any cables attached, too (OTA).

sir
when you tried all these possible combinations of flashtool, MM, N, repairs via sony pc suite etc even on different computer,
my question is did you add trying different usb cable in all this process?
and when you say you have tried different version N, can you be specific what build you tried?

I flashed 32.3.A.0.376-R4D and 32.3.A.0.376-R5D (one is with provider customization, one without).
And I just tried it with a different cable on a different usb port. But I'm afraid it's still the same result.

sir if possible
1. kindly paste Flashtool log here ( of both machines )
2. what is the operating system of those two different pc's ? win 7 and/or win10
3. have you ever successfully flashed your xperia using those ssytems before? (considering driver issues)
4. flashtool 0.9.23.2 supports N (ONLY) any other version can't install it , so can u check what version of flashtool you used ( in both machines?)
thank you

To answer your questions:
1. I currently don't have one but I do not recall any errors appearing in the logs.
2. I'm using windows 10 and yes, drivers were installed correctly (by booting the system with signature checks disabled)
3. I did successfully flash marshmallow (32.2.A.5.11) multiple times after the failed nougat update.
4. My version of flashtools matches 0.9.23.2
I tried to update the the phone multiple time using official tools (OTA, xperia companion) before resorting to flashtool.
This, and the fact that flashtool works well otherwise, means the issue is with my device and/or the update itself and not with flashtool.
Is it possible to get some log files out of the device to see what's causing the crash?

after asking so many questions and reading all your answers ! i feel like saying i wish i could get hold of your device to see what actually got wrong in OTA flashing!
the reason why ask all these question is that it happend with my friends Z1 years ago when by simply updating to news OTA , device got stuck in bootloop! and the only thing he could do is unlock the bootloader and installed cynogenmod. at that time i could not find any possible reason why this has happend!
the ultimate solution for you could be unlocking boot loader OR wait until we get some sense on the internet about this issue! ( i will research more)
btw, I always flash my device on win7 64bit. if possilbe try flashing via win7 , just in case.
also i couldn't help thinking , it might have something to do with FSC script! even on the flashtool download page! they have mention how few devices get bricked if flashtool is used! but then you tried updating via xperia companion also!

Yeah, I already feared that this would be the only solution :crying:
Next week I'm gonna try to get a refund/replacement, so let's see how that goes first before I unlock the bootloader.
Thanks for your help though!

to be honest there is nothing wrong with your device! you had rooted 5.11 easily! this means the stock android .372 or .376 having N kernel is not working properly with your hardware!
if you are replacing your device then no need to unlock your bootloader! unless u want rooted phone!
REMEMBER to research all about DRM KEYS and TA backups before you even think about unlocking in your dream.

When you were making .ftf ,did you delete fwinfo and exclude .ta files ?
If not, that can lead to bootloop.

Hey guys, I just want to give you a quick update on the issue:
Last week I brought my phone to a local retailer, they sent it in and today I received a completely new device with Android 7.0 pre-installed!
So it seems like the issue was covered by warranty.
All in all I'm surprised how smooth everything went.
And thanks to everyone who tried to help me here!

Help me please! Sony Xperia XZ SO-01j

Hello XDA Dev community!
I'm new and I have heard good reviews about this site. I hope you could help me with my problem. I managed to buy an Xperia XZ So-01J model locked to NTT Docomo then got it unlocked thru a code. I need to flash it to a generic stock rom but I keep getting the partition.sin error and soft bricking my device in the process. If I tick partition.sin in the "exclude" category, a new error comes up again from the .sin files. Am I missing something here? I'm new to the whole Xperia game but I got a little knowledge about it epecially with Flashtool. I used to be a Samsung user and have never encountered something like this flashing roms using odin and a custom recovery.

Welcome dear.
Use 0.9.23.2 if possible. Put off the signature verification in window. Turn off antivirus. Dont plug any other device in usb port.
Installed drivers from driver folder of flashtool.

If it's f8331 then just install boot image from androplus through fastboot and then install recovery through fastboot and install custom rom.

Responses are still very much appreciated. I still have hope the SO-01J can be flashed with a generic ROM.

Hi!
I am also experiencing the same situation. Who can help me?

Who can help me?

:crying: I m haven the same condition with you. Who can help me? Asking for help.i used all the flashtool,but it still dont ok.

I have the same condition with you.I do it yesterday.you should use 0.9.23.2.Flashtool flash so 01j .ftf. Yesterday i went to japanese NTT'S Home net to download it.

Did you flash the international ROM? Or still use Docomo 6.0.1?

same problem here , i try to flash 41.3.A.2.24 AU on my Sony Xperia XZ SO-01J but it always appear error at all sin files start from partition.sin
anyone have solve this problem?

AFAIK you cannot flash that file to that device.

you can't flash other rom into this phone, it only accept docomo rom. the bootloader is locked and it's not unlockable (as far as I know unless docomo allows it or someone managed to find a way). so I did the next best thing, by removing some of the docomo apps through adb. I also removed some Sony apps like Xperia Tips and Whats New and a few others (facebook etc). battery life has been better since less things running in the background now, free RAM is around 1gb though I don't play games at all.
