switch off phone remove battery re insert battery then go in flashmode in flash tool select your xperia stock.ftf file ( Stock firmware ) then connect your device holding Volume down button until it recognises ur device

If the phone vibrates and shows 3 Green or Red LEDs it is hard bricked and sent it in to Sony for Repair

Sometimes that happens me but only remove the battery connect to pc ,insert the battery and the flash starts

HELP! Xperia C Stuck on Sony Logo
Hello guys, can you help me fix my Sony Xperia C 2305 stuck in Sony Logo.
I'd already tried the Sony Companion but in the middle of installation it stopped.
What should i do?? Please! Thank you!

Sony Xperia C Unbrick
Hi... I came across this problem recently while installing CWM using MobileUncle Tools without changing the Boot-version. If your Boot-version is not supported, then you need to first convert it to the suitable Boot-version. There is a seperate Xperia C XDA thread on install CWM on both the Boot-versions. Now in your case, you have flashed a wrong recovery which has bricked your device.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to un-brick your Xperia C. This worked for me. Hope it works for you too...
1. Firstly, remove the back-cover of your Xperia C and remove any sim or memory card, if connected.
2. Now, search for a small hole with "RESET" written below it.
3. Use a pen to press it. Hold it there for a minute. Then leave it and put the back cover back.
4. Charge your device for about 10 minutes.
5. If you do not follow the above steps, you won't be able to repair your device through PC Companion.(The update stops showing "Download error or error 1200). This is because your device still has MobileUncle Tools and unsupported Recovery image installed in it which does not allow the stock Recovery to be installed. When you reset by following the above method, only the stock apps are left in the device, deleting every other app.
6. Now download and install the latest Sony PC Companion from the official site, to your PC.
7. Open the PCC and click start in support zone. Let PCC download and install the required files.
8. In the next menu, select the software update option. Instead of clicking on install, select "Repair" device which is highlighted in blue.
9. Follow the steps until PCC starts to prepare your PC for software update.
10. In the device selection menu, select Sony Xperia C C2305 and click next.
11. When the next menu appears, disconnect any USB or multimedia drives attached to the PC. Now, first connect your original Sony USB cabel to the PC. Then, turn off your device(If the device is not turning off i.e. switching on after connecting the USB cable, read the instructions given at the end). Wait for five second. Press and hold volume down button of your device and connect the USB cable to your device. A green led appears on your device if the device is connected properly.
Note: If a continous red led appears instead of green, do not worry. Keep the device connected to PC intact for about 5 to 10 minutes. It will turn green. This is because, bricked devices take some time to be recognised.
12. Now the update process starts. If all the above steps are performed correctly, then surely the Device Software Update process completes without any errors or stopping in between.
13. Then click finish in the last menu after Device Software Update Completes.
14.Disconnect Xperia C from PC and press the Power button.
15. Xperia C boots up. Do not worry if your screen isn't the way it should be(e.g. whitish at the edges and the Sony Wave logo lagging). As this is the first boot-up after software update it takes sometime to recover to it's earlier charm. After about a minute or two, your device will be perfectly all right.
Note: The first boot-up takes some time(about 5 to 7 minutes).
16. So, this is it. You will have your Sony Xperia C perfectly working if you follow the above steps cautiously.
Hint for step no. 11: Follow this only if your device turns on after connecting the USB cable:
1. First, let the USB cable be connected the PC.
2. Force switch off your device by pressing Power + volume up buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds when it is stuck at Sony logo.
3. When the device turns off, immediately leave the two buttons and press and hold volume down button and connect the USB cable to the device, before the device turns on.
4. Now your device would be properly connected and the green led appears.
Hope this helps you. If you have any other queries regarding the same, please do inform.

It's so easy to fix it.:thumbup:
You've entered in something called "bootloop".
Now how we can fix an xperia device from bootloop.
What do we need:
1,A computer with flashtool installed on.
2,A good USB cable (because we don't want the dvice to disconnect in the middle of the flashing process ).
3,download c2305 stock firmware .ftf (stock rom.ftf).(from the link below)
Now follow these steps and they will bring your phone to the safe:
1,turn off your device and keep it off and don't forget to charge it well before this process.
2,Replace the stock firmware.ftf to firmware folder in the flashtool folder in the place you installed in (usually in c:\\flashtool\firmwares)
3,Now open flashtool and click the flash icon then select flashmode then OK.
4,Now select your firmware from the list and if you don't want to lose your data just uncheck the box of wipe data in the top right corner.
5,click on "flash" and wait because it's preparing.
6,Then after this it will show you a window request to press the back bottom (the volume down bottom)
And connect your device, do it and Keep pressing until the window disappear.
7,Now the tool is flashing your phone DON'T touch the cable until it's finished.
8,when it's finished wait for 10 sec and unplug your device.
9,Now wait for about one min if it doesn't turn on automatically turn on it will about 3min to boot wait and don't worry.
Congratulations your phone is well know.
Notes:
1.If the tool doesn't see the connected device, there's a folder named "drivers" open and open the. Exe
And install your device's driver.
2, because I'm new user they don't allow me to give a link so just give me your email and I'll send the link to you.
(the stock firmware.ftf link i mean)

It's not detected when Flashtool requests to connect the phone or not at all
If it's not detected when Flashtool requests to connect the phone try to connect it before the flashing proccess.
And don't forget to connect it in flashmode by holding the vol- key and connect it to Pc

Phone still not detected in Fastboot mode
I have installed all the drivers and tried. But my phone is not entering Fastboot mode or showing up in device manager. My phone is not turning on after flashing recovery using Mobile Uncle tools. The red light glows when usb plugged in.

[Q] Xperia C bricked and nothing works

I tried installing Z2 rom on my xperia C. After installation while i reboot it. Now it is not starting up. Nothing is happening in it. When i connect charger RED light showed up. When connected with PC it shows only red light. Windows buzz a connect tone and then disconnect tone. Means it connects and disconnected. It is not going even in flash mode so that i can flash it with new rom. I already tried WMSHUA tool to flash but it fails to connect the phone. It installs the drivers and then no response.
I tried everything as given on the other posts but nothing works.
It happens because I had installed wrong ROM. It wasn't for xperia c.
Somebody help me out. :crying: :crying:

No, don't mess with the system if there isn't much support or development for it. I regret buying the C3 now because of the horrible camera quality and the fact that the lack of activity is clear. But, it's still a fast phone with good battery management so rooting won't help much.

Hi.. Have you got this problem solved? Cause i got the same now.. Please any help..

For me, I've encountered almost the same thing too when flashing my XperiaZ, here's how I fixed it:
Pre-1. To make sure your phone has enough battery left, when holding down the "VolUp" button, connect your phone to a charger. This charges your phone in fastboot mode. It will be slow.
1. In flashtool, open up flashmode, let it load the files (since its a system only flash, you don't need to tick anything) until it prompts you to connect your phone. If the phone is in a boot loop, hold down "Power + VolUp +VolDown" at the same time until it vibrates the hell out of it.
2. When the phone is switched off, hold down the "VolDown" button then quickly connect your phone to your computer. A green light should flash and the phone starts flashing.
3. If this doesn't work, tick the "Wipe Userdata" column so that it can wipe throughly.
Cheers!

Yes I used this flashtool. Does not exclude TA misc. It does not turn on the green led. When I try to simultaneously push it down and connect to the pc it just lacks red LED. Sorry for the writing I'm using google translate.

Flashtool asked you to use fsc file, I hope that you answered yes because you forget to exclude TA partitions and your phone is probably dead and you need to replace the motherboard. If the led doesn't turn green you can't repair it.
