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.

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.

Way to debrand Xperia L c2105

Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if it's possible to debrand my xperia and install an original Sony firmware just changing my costumization number in the build.prop file and connect the phone to PC companion and make a repair installation.
Everything with bootloader locked and phone rooted.
Finally using this guide step one and two http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-download-firmware-customization-t2355982
Is it possible? Can anyone confirm that? Or twill there be some problems?
Thanks a lot!!

i dont know if repair via pcc can solve this kind of problem, but i can say the simplier way to do that is flashing fw ftf via flashtool without any build.prop editing because after this youll get fresh fw without any bugs but you can try the way you mentioned here, it cant harm your phone.
repair is not 100% solution

You can use SUS to 'update' your firmware, however it's more easy and simple by just flashing an FTF file which can be found here

Thank you!
I'm from Italy but I don't find an italian FTF file there. Where can I download it? Or which file should I use?
PS what is SUS?

You can/should use the worldwide FTF file mentioned in the reply above.
I'm from the Netherlands myself and most of West-Europe should simply use the worldwide file.
EDIT
About SUS, it stands for Sony Update Service, it's just like PC Companion but only the updating & repair of Xperia devices. It has no programs to transer files etc.

I have two last question:
From the guide I see I have to put my phone in Flash mode. Is it possible without unlocking my bootloader?
I have my phone rooted. If I flash a firmware with FTF will I lost my root?

1. You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash FTF files
2. Yes, you'll need to root your phone again

I've flashed EuropeCE firmware via flashtool and Vodafone branding disapeared from my phone, along with a bunch of bloatware.

Z3 D6603 wifi no open

Hi
I have Z3 D6603 was working fine
I downloaded 5.1.1 MEA and create FTF and flash with flash tool
now wifi and Bluetooth not open at all
i tried downgrade to 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 but still same
any solution for that
best regards

Same here. Locked bootloader, stock FTF that was updated to 5.1.1 via OTA. WiFi is wonky since then. I tried flashing different FTF's, including 5.1.1, 5.0.1 and 4.4.4, but WiFi is still quite wonky.

I also tried recovering using the PC Companion, thought it might have some extra magic compared to Flashtool - but no, WiFi is still extremely wonky: it is restarting itself every few seconds.

XPERIA Z3v Unrooting Issues

So I recently rooted my XPERIA Z3v device, and I have decided to unroot it (don't bother trying to convince me to keep the root, I am far beyond your rhetorical questions) and I rooted with the mobile version of kingoapp.com root. When I attempt to unroot my device, neither the computer software nor the app itself are unable to unroot the device. Honestly, I regret ever rooting, and being the rookie I am, I just want to unroot my device so I can go about normal life.
Can someone please help me? I am on the edge of **** right now.

Flash a stock FTF using flashtool or force a software repair using PCCompanion

Can you provide links for FTF and such? Sorry for the pestering, it's late at night and I just want to go to bed.
PC Companion refuses to acknowledge that the Z3v exists, Sony lacks support for it.

http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can download the FTF using flashtool as well.
I am pretty sure PCCompanion provides support for the Z3v

Trust me, the XPERIA Z3v lacks any support from Sony. It is basically the basterd child of the Sony smartphone division. Pc Companion won't work for this, I have tried many times.
As for the FTF, I don't see any D6708 model firmwares there, is my feeble newbie mind missing something?
On another note again, I will be willing to keep the root access, it's just that I attempt to replace the Kinguser SU app, and superSU can't seem to update it's binary to do so. Any help there?

what firmware version are you looking for? LL or LP
Original KK firmware here: http://firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/262-z3-v
I can't find the LP leaked firmware. I believe you can download it using xperifirm and create the ftf using the flash tool.

I am looking for firmware 23.0.E.1.44. I found a supposed compatible firmware on Sony's website, but the boot unlocking and flashing seems to be a bit out of my range when it comes to understanding. (Kitkat 4.4.4)

can't unlock the bootloader on the z3v so don't worry about that. You'll have to use the flashtool to flash the KK firmware I linked above then take the OTA to .44

D6653 won't allow update to 6.0.1

Im in japan. my phone doesn't show ota for marshmallow, only for Sony bloatware. and pc companion on Mac says yes there is an update available... But then after about ten seconds the dialog box is replaced saying that I am running latest version available (though i have 5).
Same results when I tried VPN.
My phone is unlocked as originally purchased. I have a data sim.
Does it refuse because I have only 500mb on internal? There is no error message-it just changes its mind.
Any ideas? Just wait?

There is actually a mac version of Flashtool, but maybe not xpirifirm so you might have to find a pre-made FTF.
I guess you don't have root?
Update manually with Flashtool? Lots of guides available. Might not even have to make your own FTF file, but I recommend doing so if you can as then you know what is in it.
Essentially this is the same as using Sony software to do it, but you have more manual options. Download the files with xpirifirm, decrypt them with flashtool (not as complicated as it sounds), then it will make an ftf file for you which is the bit that contains all the system for the phone / update, then follow instructions to flash it onto the phone.
I'll look for a decent guide link.
My top tip is to make sure the TA partition stuff is excluded when you select what components to add to the ftf file to be safe, but flashtool should exclude this by default. And to make sure you download the software for your exact device so double check it when you choose
It really isn't as overwhelming as it may seem when you first look at it.
How to make the ftf: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
How to flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697277
(Just ignore the parts telling you to download anything in the flashing guide as you got it from the "how to make" and obviously just replace that phone and firmware with your own)

Thanks. I have rooted and flashed a couple other phones but not Sony. I guess I would do that if it came down to it, but it shouldn't be necessary. With the z3 don't see the payoff for the risk. I can live with the bloatware.
More to the point this update should just work! Why isn't it?
If I use PC companion doesn't that get the update straight from Sony regardless of carrier? (I have no carrier, just a 3 month data sim)

If I helped hit thanks
Something along the way is causing the problem. Tried reinstalling PC companion?
I say manual flash because that eliminates the variable that it's your phone causing the problem and also gets you updated as you wanted soooooo two birds with one stone
If you can't so it by PC I hope the phone eventually sorts itself out

Did you use xperia companion? If you used that, then there might be no update available yet for your phone, because xperia companion have a bug that shows an update is available, but there really is no update available.

Yes I'm using xperia companion. I guess I'm experiencing that bug you mention.
How can I establish if an update is available when I have no carrier? If I have no carrier then is it still dependant on the country I'm in? I know others have received the update for d6653 in other countries.
