Hi. I started the process of trying to root my Sony xperia Z2, which was running Android MM (6.01),but its all gon a bit pear shaped.
I have successfuly installed Flashtool on my laptop, and was downgrading to lollipop 5.1.1.
Flashtool went through the flashing process and seemed to finnish correctly.
However, upon re-starting the phone, it went through the process of updateing the opperating system, but when it had finnished and started up, it stated "andrdoid.process.acore has stopped". Pressing ok brought up "android.process.media has stopped". Pressing OK simply re-starts the phone and goes back to "andrdoid.process.acore has stopped"
Have tried to enter restor mode (vol down+power button) but it simply starts as normal.
Have tried flashing to a differant opperating system (5.0.1), and still the same (though it now goes through the Android is upgrading screen after every re-start.
How can I break this cycle? PC Companion is auto starting but not connecting to the phone either.
Thanks
Darren

Hello.
I got stuk on the firmware update screen after a factory reset that never rebooted (Maybe it's because I'm having a problem with the USB port. Anyway I tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369 for flashing stock jelly bean (I was already in there before the softbrick) and everything went perfect, it rebooted to android, powered back of and got a PASS message at the end, but after I unplugged the phone and powered ON I got the Firmware Update screen again.
Tried another time but I decided to stop the process once it reboot to android, the phone it worked fine as long as I keep it on, if I power it off I will get the damn Firmware Update screen again after I power it ON. Also if I try a factory reset it will reboot to that screen.
Thanks in advance.
Good morning, I bought yesterday this phone, version D6603.
When I started it android version was 4.4.4, so I tried the Sony update to see if any update was available, and it suddenly started the download; so I stopped it and turned off the phone (I just wanted to install a recent stock rom with flashtool with a data wipe, because the phone is a secondhand one). After a while I turned it on again, just to check the camera, and when I started it the screen went black and the phone has locked and turned off by itself! I cannot manage to boot it again, neither in normal nor in recovery mode (I tried volume down + power, volume up + power, both + power). I had to reset it several times with the physical button because every time it get stucked on boot!
So next step was to try to install a stock rom with flashtool (D6603_23.4.A.0.546_IT), using wipe apps_log and userdata; it worked with no errors but the phone was still stucked on boot (just after the welcome music).
I also tried to use PC Companion's "repair your phone" under Support Zone, but it didn't work as well.
At this point I don't know what else I can do, I tried everything I know! I always had Sony and it's the first time I got a stucked phone with no root and nothing else modified.. Any suggest??
Thank you very much
Hi guys, please please help me.
I watched the youtube tutorial (Sony Xperia Z3: How to Install Official CyanogenMod 12), i followed all the instructions and was going fine after backing up my
data to the SD card, but when it came to Installing the CM12, it said there was an error for "pullox" and i downloaded the Xperia Tablet Z LTE (Pullox) CM12 files and it
began to load (which i thought was a little weird as why woudlnt it read Z3 CM12 files...)
But then after installing GAPPS, it told me to Reboot System and i accidently clicked back, so i just clicked Restart System manually... (not sure if this makes a difference)
BUT NOW my Z3 is not turning on AT ALL I am seriously panicking as its not displaying anything, the only thing that happens when i try turn on the phone is it quick vibrates
and shows the little Red light in the corner for the vibrate and flashes for a second...then nothing.
I've seen to hold the POWER and Volume Up at the same time but still nothing...i've seen to charge it for 3 hours and try again but i'm seriously worried.
Please help me out, i've seen that I have to FLASH the device afterwards...I hope to g-d it will come on.
Is there anything else I can do, will Flashing help?
Thanks
The system is probably corrupted. Just Download another CM12 zip and flash it.

Also, you can try to:
(Shut off your phone if not already done, by pressing and holding down power+vol+ till it vibrates)
* get flashtool and your stock Rom from xperifirm
* hold down vol - and flash your stock using flashtool (obviously with wiping)
Hello,
This morning turning my phone on, everything worked, until the error messages like "com.snapchat.android process suddenly stopped" (I have received several of this) including one which bugged my phone: "the prossessus Xperia ™ 11 has stopped working" (the two "1" appeared like the™).
There I received messages that appeared and stood out immediately: I could not use my phone: I reboot. And here's the problem:
My phone is on and stays blocked on the first boot screen (Sony).
My phone is rooted since 8 months, and when it starts, it does not even reach the violet LED: so i'm unable to access the Recovery Mode.
When it charges it's the same: it remains stuck at the boot screen plus a red LED usual for chargings, and when I unplug the screen is still on with red LED indefinitely.
To turn it off (for not stay on all the time), I push with a pencil lead into the notch "off" (at the back of the phone on the left of the SD card)
The worst: When I try to connect my phone into fastboot mode or flashmode, the LED (blue or green) lights, but Flashtool doesn't recognize the device. When I unplug the device, the LED (blue or green) is still lighting. So I cannot flash (which I wanted to do) with Flashtool.
So I think it's a problem because the phone hangs at the beginning of the boot, maybe it's a bootloop, or a hardbrick (?).
This problem appeared like that, I think having done anything weird lately. The phone is one year and a half.
It's very difficult for me because I can not do anything that is in my possession and I greatly needed.
Anyone have a solution for this? Its very important.
Thank you so much !
PS : Very sorry for my english
Same problem i have facing more than 10-15 work stopped i try to install new rom but keel facing this problem but my phone enter in recovery mod but hangs on boot animation
hey there,, i m experiencing the same problem...flashtool doesnt detects my xperia too....but there is a fix for your phone..if u have not unlocked the bootloader then download sony pc companion and then try repairing your phone with it..**THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA...or if u want to use flashtool then check and install the drivers for your xperia...!!HOPE THIS WORKS....
hit th thx button if it worked..
My xperia p is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I tried honami moon walker and didnt like it. So restored it to my old back I took using CWM recovery backup.
I dont know if it got restored properly. I mean I was in honami moon walker and just restored the old backup which is jellybean os. Was it the way to do?
And then I tried to unlock the bootloader to try more roms like cyanogen. but the phone doesnt stay in fastboot mode or the violet light goes faster before I point to the customized interface file in my system. When I pointed, it told "windows was able to find the driver but unable to install it". Cannot find the file specified. I used an application quick boot(Reboot) to get into fastboot mode which was easy. But all in vain. In the process of getting into fastboot mode, I never got out. The screen will be blank.
Then I will try restarting by pressing the power and volume up buttons together and restoring to the old back up I took already.
Now whenever I restart my phone, it gets stuck with the sony logo and it keep restarting. Before trying the power plus volume up combination, it may stay in a blank screen with 2 pixel sized blinks on the two sides of the bottom screen.
So now I am afraid to restart my phone itself. Because it never restarts the phone but gets stuck with the sony logo and then I have to restore it to the old back up.
What should I do? I want to keep my phone rooted and unlock the bootloader and try new roms.
