[ALL 2012 XPERIAS] {GUIDE} Recovering from SOFT-Brick

This is from the WIKI page "Brick (electronics)"​When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my MP3 player when I tried to modify its firmware."[1]
In one common sense of the term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device permanently unusable.
However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick".​DON'T WORRY, BE PATIENT, YOU CAN FIX YOUR PHONE.​
This is common 'cents' worth more than a million dollars

My two cents, always install CWM - Backup your ROM, before doing any modding to your phone.

​
For this guide I will define types of RESETS that happen when pressing both the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons.​
SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.
HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.*
*USE HARD RESET ONLY IF ALL OTHER TRICKS HAVE FAILED. RECOVERY FROM THIS DEEP LEVEL OF SOFT-BRICK WILL TAKE A LONG TIME​Both can be used at anytime on a working phone. Most bootloops will also allow resets​
First try to use SONY's PC Companion to REPAIR your phone.
However if your bootloader is unlocked this may not work​
>>TO GET FLASHTOOL CLICK HERE<<​If you need help with setting up & using FLASHTOOL >>CLICK HERE<<​
For most of the tricks you will need to have FLASHTOOL ready with a STOCK.ftf file waiting at a specific spot.
For help with finding your phones STOCK.ftf file click here
you will find instructions HERE on how to create your own STOCK firmware ftf file for your specific celluar carrier/region and model XPERIA. Each phone model has a different file for every android version. You will need a working phone to get your specific file, However you can use a GENERIC version that comes on international phones to recover from SOFT-brick
As the various 2012 XPERIA forums get organized, the moderators are trying to set up STOCK FIRMWARE ftf file download threads. As these threads come on line I will add them here. For now I will provide at least one file per phone for recovery.
MAKE SURE YOU USE A STOCK FIRMWARE FOR YOUR MODEL. Using the wrong models file will give you the very SOFT-brick your trying to fix. If your not sure then ask for help.​

Works perfect
Thank you !!!
easy to install - when you eventually remember to allow OEM Unlocks within Developer options (as well as USB debugging obviously)
:good:
I had a few hiccups, ie. it wouldn't wipe the system or data , but I simply converted them to FAT and then straight back to ext4 and it wiped them ready for Custom ROMS

Great! :highfive:
You're Welcome.

@ZonaRMR How to install this? Because using standard commands gives error. I mean, first "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". And second command gives error, something like "download for recovery partition is not allowed". OEM Unlock and Debugging turned on, of course.

Carliv Touch Recovery 5.7.1​
This is a CWM based recovery and I did put up some work to update it to lollipop (cm 12.1) and marshmallow (cm-13) after official cwm development stopped at kitkat. It works with LOLLIPOP and MARSHMALLOW kernels and it builds with cm 12.1 or aicp lp-5.1 (version 5.7) and with cm 13 or aicp mm-6.0 (version 6.6).
This is for those who want a lighter and simpler recovery or they just liked CWM before. It's not as good or complex as twrp, but it will do the job just fine.
For gui I ported PhilZ Recovery full touch module.
Features:
- EXT4 and F2FS if you need it.
- full touch menu ported by me from PhilZ touch Recovery. The old Napstar-xda touch module was good but it's quite old and to update that was too much work. Actually There is a version 4 with that touch module, all working, but the touch doesn't work with some input drivers and I had to give up on it for the new and improved version from PhilZ.
- all cwm functionalities are up and working (adb, sideload, backup, restore, install, mass storage...). There is no mtp and if your phone doesn't have an external sdcard you can't connect it to PC while is in recovery mode. But there is usb-otg support, of course if your phone was shipped with that.
- added new menu for backup and restore advanced, to use it for backing or restoring only a specific partition and I also ported from PhilZ the multizip flashing function.
- in Carliv menu there is now a new section for flashing boot and recovery images. It is a feature that I needed during many recovery builds testing. I wanted an easier way to flash other image without booting to android and using an app like RashR. You can browse your storage locations for any image and after choose you will have to select on wich partition should that be flashed. I added multiple confirmations check to avoid flashing on wrong partition. This feature works only with boot and recovery images. I won't add other partitions to this because for other things there are multiple backup restore functions.
- for MTK phones (if the flag is used in Boardconfig) there is a new menu to backup and restore some important partitions like uboot, nvram an secro because they are involved in restoring a lost IMEI, and also the logo partition which may often get broken by bad ported ROMs.
- besides these all my old specific menus (aroma, rainbow...) are still in place.
- added support for dencrypting and mounting data partition using the builtin minivold from cyanogenmod with vdc commands (the ideea came from this post of Lekensteyn). Tested and working well with text ar hex passwords, and maybe will work with pin too but I don't think it will work with pattern .
- there is no included root solution. I choose to do it this way because there is no universal root solution now and someone may end up messing things with a non-working root option. You can flash a zip installer from Chainfire's SuperSu or other solution that may work for your phone.​

After black screen you need to release all buttons and wait just 1 SECOND and immediately then press VOLUME UP + POWER + HOME at the same time. Then it will boot.

I really appreciate your work sir. I had almost lost the hope to get a custom recovery for my device . I request u to develope a custom rom as soon as possible for the xposed framework fails to work on the touchwiz (samsung ) ui Or the twrp would rather prove useless

Try to be sure you have correct STOCK before, so flash stock to A, flash stock to B(boh novmeber), then boot one of them, reboot to recovery, wipe data, boot to BL, fastboot update spark......zip and try again to add FP.
oh, you tried to register FP in 1080p or 1440p display settings?

You need to set 1440p.

Yeah, I checked everywhere shortly after making this post. I should learn to look before immediately asking silly questions. Thanks for the link!

For some reason when i try to install it will not boot into fastbootd? It goes into a bootlop. What would cause this. i have both slots flashed with stock.

Try different cables (suggest A to C) and ports (suggest USB 2.0).
Also make sure your Platform Tools are up-to-date.
