[Q] Xperia E3 stuck on boot screen with sony logo

I know there are probably lots of threads about this, but I couldn't find one about E3 since it's a relatively new phone, but to point now
So I tried to update my Xperia E3 to it's latest firmware via the Sony pc companion(it was the only option) and during the update ,once it was downloaded it prompted to connect the phone through the USB cable, once done it began installing the update but when it was like at 80-85% it showed an error saying that internet connection isn't available and gave two options to either retry or cancel, now the internet was just working fine, I checked google, Youtube everything and it was working, but every time I hit retry it gave the same option ,so eventually I canceled the update,
Now the phone was switched off so I tried switching it on and it just froze at the sony boot logo screen, restarting with power button+volume up only restarts it to the same situation(stuck at logo screen), I did look up for a solution but couldn't find one that fit,
Of course I did switch it off using the off button at the back of phone(under the back cover), and I know about Sony Update service but that's no longer supported(it required the phone in off state), pc companion can't detect an off phone and when it does it starts phone to boot frozen screen and fails at detect step, another thing I found was a custom tool(possibly just SUS) that could flash a firmware in an off phone but however there is no firmware available for my version, since I live in India, so there's that , any help is appreciated,
A few things:
-The battery was at 91% when update started
-There was no root attempt etc made on phone, it was complete stock
-I did update the firmware once earlier but just from the phone it was a 2 mp update, no pc
-When I started this update there was already a 29 mb something update available without pc, and that's pretty much all, like I said any help is appreciated

Don't worry buddy, your phone doesn't die yet. Actually, PC Companion (PCC) has repair phone/tablet function.
Open PCC, click Start button in Support Zone, then continue to click Start button under Phone/Tablet Software Update and you will see "Repair your phone/tablet". Just follow its instruction. remember using the hard reset button under the back cover to turn off the device first and don't turn it on.
Anyway, what is your model? d22xx? i can't provide the firmware unless I know exactly the model.

It worked

Hello, my device is D2212 and I have similar problem.
I've rooted and unlocked bootloader using this method from XDA forum to root Xperia E3. However after unlocking bootloader and root my device my PC and my notebook doesn't recognize my device to transfer data or access data of cellphone. It keeps in charging mode.
Today it was really weird and lagging way too much so I tried to reset to factory setting. After that my device does not start android it keep stuck on blue screen right after display of Xperia and android.
I tried this method you suggested of PC Companion but it does not work since PC does not recognize my device anymore since rooting.
I need help here, please.
O just bought this device last week.
Thanks in advance.

You say hardbricked, you mean the phone doesnt boot right?
If you connect to pc, installs an driver named HSusb for qualcomm s1 emergency boot?
Normal it must do that.If not, press vol keys and put usb in.
Normaly you cant brick qualcomm emergency mode. If you get this driver installed, write me a pn. i can flash it back to normal recovery.

Xperia L Bricked, EMMC DL TOOL HELP

I was upgrading my Xperia TO 5.1 and was flashing recovery. TWRP was flashed but I was not able to flash any zip through it.
I tried unlocking bootloader but nothing happened. I tried this 3-4 times and suddenly my Phone gone blank.
Now the condition is neither LED or any kind of vibration is working. Phone is detected as Qualcomm Qloader 9008. I tried figuring out and found that bootloader is corrupt. Many person having Snapdragon Chipset have same problem. I found EMMC DL Tool which can repair this but in version 5.2.0.r I am getting invalid user error.
Then I tried Tool studio EMMC tool from ZTE but I am getting error while downloading the Hex file. Phone is detected but unfortunately I am not able to fix it.
Please go through screenshot.
Someone please help me to fix. Either using this emmc tool or anyother.
P.S. Went to SC they said to replace MB which will cost around 6500-7500. But I don't think to spend such money for repairing when I can but much better phone in that price segment.

I am not able to post image. Help me. I don't have 10 post count yet.

So, you cannot get into flashmode or fastboot? Power off your phone, hold volume up and plug it into your pc without hitting the power button. Do you get any blue led or quick led flash at all? I'm not sure about your device's condition but I can surely try getting you files from my phone.
Try installing flashtool and see if flashtool recognizes your phone at all.

Only red LED glows while I plug it in PC. Flashtool can not recognize. EMMC tool recognize but can't find/download the files.
I am pretty sure once I get the tool running it will bring back my phone alive.

Hmm, can QPST find your phone? I'm trying to get a QPST/QCN backup which could be helpful. However, fastboot, flashmode, recovery or device running, I get ports empty. Can anyone help me out here? I can try draining my battery so I have the little phase of the dull red led where the device won't power on until it's a little charged.

[Guide] Unbrick Your UNLOCKED Lenovo P2a42

Hey Friends,
You must have seen very good days with Lenovo P2 but when there comes a bad day when your phone stops responding to button holds and restarts. You may or may not have a clue what to do to get your phone working again just like before.
I got into this situation where only thing my phone was able to operate was a RED LED on connecting it to my laptop. Then I had to read tens of pages on XDA to find answers to all my questions. If you are in such a situation and your phone is UNLOCKED then you have come to the right place. Procedure is quite simple but remember, I am writing this guide to define complete process from blackout to complete update so follow this guide as per your needs.
I faced this situation of Total Blackout / Dead Phone (Almost) with only Red LED working and it can be very scary. So, here is the simplest procedure you can follow. I want to appreciate all those people who helped me in finding a way to boot my phone with each and everything working. Long story short, let's get this done.
Tools Required:
I am mentioning here all the Tools you will need. I will urge you to download and save these tools in case you want to unbrick your phone any time:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup for PC
2. Lenovo USB drivers v1.1.33
3. Qualcomm USB Drivers
4. Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) v2.0.1.9 for your PC in case you have corrupted your phone's IMEI and/ or Baseband
5. Blankflash.bat in case you want to recover from total blackout (Attached)
6. Stock MM S048 Firmware for Lenovo P2 in case phone doesn't boot
7. S048_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone boots through Stock MM S048 but SIM isn't detected and IMEI is missing. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
8. S251_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone is on latest firmware and doesn't detect SIM and has lost IMEI. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
9. QCN file for recovering baseband version and giving you most precious network signals. (Attached)
10. WinRAR or PeaZip for uncompressing files
I will recommend you to have a specific folder for keeping all these tools in a single place.
Procedure for Unbricking:
Before going with the procedure, make sure you have downloaded all the files you need, updated Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers etc. Here is the procedure:
1. If total blackout with red LED notification when connecting to PC: Unzip blankflash.zip to a folder in C drive. Now connect your P2 to PC through USB, press volume+, volume- and power button simultaneously and double click blankflash.bat. You might have no success in your first try. Just keep trying and it will load your phone to Fastboot. Restart your phone in TWRP if installed and install a working ROM for your phone after doing a wipe. If all is good and phone works OK then great but if you have lost IMEI and baseband then it is better to reinstate your phone through first MM stock ROM S048
2. Install S048 firmware through Minimal ADB and Fastboot - use flash instructions in .txt file.
3. Wait for startup of phone. Check if fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM work if all work then OK.
4. If fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM are not working then check IMEI through dialer. Dial *#06#. If IMEI is not available then install latest TWRP through Fastboot.
5. Start P2 in TWRP recovery and install S048_ModemTelephony.zip. Restart phone to see if WIFI and SIM work.
6. If SIM is detected but not giving signals and Baseband is shown as unknown then extract 000000_0.qcn file given in .7z and restore through QFIL and restart your phone into Fastboot.
7. Now, install stock recovery of S048 firmware through Fastboot and restart your phone.
8. Use your phone like you normally do and update your P2 till firmware S251 and see if everything works including calls. Update your phone through OTA.
9. After OTA installation, stock recovery may say that update failed. Just press Back, go into Wipe user data menu and Wipe Cache only. Restart your phone which will be updated to latest version and will ask you to update to a newer version. Allow it to download the next update.
10. After installation of S251 update, install latest TWRP through Fastboot and install most recent version of LOS 16 so that your vendor partition is stable and free from any bloated files. Now, use your phone just like you want to.
If you need further clarification then ask in this thread.

You should download S048 and use flashall.bat inside that archive to install it all. However, if you lose IMEI or baseband then you can use modem and qcn files given in this thread.

If red light blinks, your phone can be detected by your laptop. Check ports in device manager settings and you'll see a new port with Qualcomm 9800 series number. If that's there, try blankflash to start in fastboot. It might need some tries before startup. Be patient and keep trying till you are in fastboot.

Press Volume+, Volume- and Power simultaneously and double click flashblank.bat. It might take some tries to finally install the scripts and start phone in fastboot. It took me 20+ tries to finally detect my phone through blankflash. Please, read OP completely.

No. Keep USB connected. Try blankflash. If it doesn't detect phone or go ahead. Close command terminal, double click again and keep doing it till it processes the files. If it is stuck somewhere. Close terminal and try again.

Check if your USB cable is alright and appropriate drivers are installed. Otherwise reinstall drivers, restart your PC and try again.

I think you might have damaged some hardware. But anyway if you want to use blankflash, I have a method.
In lenovo p2 we have another mode called QDloader mode, in which we can use blankflash. For entering into this mode, it's little tricky but, can enter in one or two go.
So, here's how:
1. Switch off the mobile.
2. Press the volume up key,
3. While holding the volume up key, insert the usb cable and at the same time press the power button (this is the trick, we have to insert and hit at the same time).
And voila! :highfive: you will see black screen with only red notification led blinking.
we are into QDloader mode. Now use blankflash :good:
