My xperia tipo smartphone won't boot up . I think this has to do with the build.prop file which is in the system directory. In an attempt to make my phone run Modern Combat 2, I downloaded a custom build.prop file from here and replaced it with the original one (I made a backup first in the sd card directory). Then I tried to reboot my phone, but now it won't boot . It only shows me the sony logo and stays there. Even after waiting an hour, still nothing. I've tried many ways to boot my xperia tipo in recovery mode, like holding down power button and Vol Up, or by pressing the screen repeatendly after the sony logo appears and MANY MORE, but no luck. I'M SO PISSED WITH MYSELF! Can anyone help?
You could maybe try to install the stock rom over it. Flashtool + *.tft rom.
Reflash using flash tool
Reflash firmware...
sounds like soft brick...
Sony phones do not have stock recovery, so unless you had installed cwm you don't have any recovery

WORKED!
Thanks a lot guys, I reflashed my firmware with flashtool and it worked
BTW, I aslo had a live chat with a SONY programmer and he told me that there was no fix
Well, now I got another problem!

Remove battery from the device for 10-15 mins... Than put it in and directly put it in flashboot mode... Dont try to turn it on... Than you'll be able to reflash...

THIS THREAD IS SO OLD! I WAS A NEWBIE AT ANDROID PHONES BACK THEN. NOW PRO
When you flash recovery with recoverx, you can't boot up into recovery when in stock kernel. So flash a kernel (i use vegeance) through flashtool, and when u boot up your phone, when the led light turns pink, press vol up/down a few times.
There you go!

If you have an xperia smartphone, you can go on "phone" and type *#*#7378423#*#*. A service menu will come up if you typed it right. Then go to "service info" > "customization" and then search for "bootloader unlock allowed". If that says yes, you can unlock it. If it says no or it doesn't exist, then you can't do it.

yes, you need to check it on the firmware version 18.0.C.1.13. I myself can not check, because I have a D2302
I tried to flash it the D2303 versions but for me the phone didn't boot afterwards. Has any one else tried it?
M2 owner rooted
so is the boot image not working and your mobile stuck i was going to try it but will wait for someone to say it works okay

Try this:
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Install original firmware through flashtool
3. Replace boot.img
It should work! After the vibration happens a second time, you need to press the "volume down"

No need to unlock the bootloader in advance
so bsically your phone needs to be

2. unlock bootloader

Hey there. I installed it but no good. When I rebooted I got. Nothing on the screen and only a flashing red led.
Sent from my D2303 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK! I finally got it running on Xperia M2 Dual D2302
My steps and issues:
1/
Initially I saved the first SUS update received from Sony which appeared to be and finally is 18.0.B.1.23 (android 4.3) despite the phone being already on that same firmware > did the ftf out of it.
When I launched SUS again 2 days later it wanted to download the new update, 18.3.B.0.31 (android 4.4.2, I believe), instead of using the previous one. So I downloaded it and created the ftf for later.
2/
I rooted using TowelRoot without any problem. sweeeet (>_<)
3/
Did the TA Backup and dry tested it. Fingers crossed...
4/
Went to unlock using normal Sony procedure but I wasn't receiving any email at work. Finally I ran it through Flashtool, which indeed takes you to Sony website. I had to choose Xperia M Dual as M2 is not available. Then the phone locked with a black screen. Hopefully Sony has added an off HW button to disconnect the battery (finally!). I started the phone which entered into a boot loop
Then in whatever order I tried:
- to flash the boot img given by NFound
- tried to relock, unlock via Flashtool
- let it boot loop for awhile
- and finally flashed the first ftf I did > SUCCESS! The phone started fine.
5/
from there I was able to pursue the tutorial by flashing NFound boot img. CWM available
6/
flash SuperUS-Update with CWM, here's ROOT!
7/
busybox... etc
GREAT!
NFound, your post #8 HAD the solution, I realized that just now
Thanks for your work and risk taken with this. This M2 Dual is not even for me but for a workmate, I must be insane or simply perfectionist...
Have you tried to update to 4.4.2 with the recently published update?
Thank you!!
Finally running on my D2302
Can we use this on the new update?

1)first of all extract cm11 (fxp or official doesn't matter) into any folder .. here you will see the boot.img file
2)okay open flashtool, click the flash button .. and select the fastboot mode
3)then switch off your phone and go into fastboot mode while holding the volume up button .. and connecting your phone with usb cable, you will see a blue notification light which means you're in the fastboot mode.
4)flashtool will detect your phone and will display the message "device connected in fastboot mode"
5)select "select kernel to flash"
6)browse to the boot.img file (it will not be visible first so select the *.img in scroll down menu)
7)open it and the cm recovery will be flashed, after that switch on your phone, press the volume up button two times to go into recovery
8)wipe data/wipe chache
9)install cm11 then install gapps and reboot !
press thanx if i helped

I installed CWM, but it's only be able for use recovery one or two times, because it's causes bootloop, and then you have to flash the stock kernel. When I have restored the stock kernel, I install philz recovery, but as I say before this is not working for me..

Hi All
My E6653 is no longer booting after freezing while running a custom rom. When I boot, it shows the Sony logo, then the light flashes red. It does not let me enter TWRP.
I have tried flashing original firmware using flashtool, repairing using xperia companion and the same issue happens.
I have tried flashing different custom kernels and TWRP versions. The only version of TWRP that works is TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AndroPlus but I cannot access the device through usb and adb does not work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I would be super grateful.
What have u done to make ur device freeze, and which kernel were u using before freezing?

Thanks for getting back to me. The phone froze while using the Plex app, and after I force rebooted, the boot issue happened.
I was running V2.3.3 of Xperia X ROM by _LLJY and the kernel that came with that custom rom.

Well the Rom's kernel which u were using does not include TWRP, just try one of these solutions :
1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.

Try this: Install Androplus kernel and Twrp Recovery which comes with him.
Find flashable prerooted firmware for your model than connect phone to pc to transfer it when you are in Twrp and than wipe cache,dalvik and data and try to flash prerooted zip.

Tried this also. kernel and recovery seem to install fine. But when I press VOL up or down, it does not go into twrp.
I managed to get into TWRP using the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-3-0-2-cm-aosp-roms-t3373008 with AndroPlus kernel. But, cannot access the phones storage through computer. TWRP shows failed to mount /usb-otg (invalid argument).
