z3 D6633 bricked

Good morning,, i bricked my z3 d6633 the led is red for 2 s and xperia appears but not charging i have access for led bue.and would flash recov*ery.because i have a backup. Excuse my english thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
I would flash a complete stock ftf file using flashtool.

A power & volume up combo button press until 3 vibrations will shut the phone off. Then volume down should get you a green led and ready when flashtool asks for it.

As long as you have backups just get it working again then go back to your favorite ROM.

I got my Xperia TX bricked and show the spanner and screwdriver icon at boot up and hangs.

I tried to use flashtool and it hangs at "Reading Device Information". How can I restore it or at least get the data in the phone flash back?

[Sony Cross-Device General] nageswarswain:
The latest flashtool is not working properly for some devices...I have also faced as you facing and the solution is download an older version of flashtool and that will work for sure.
[Sony Cross-Device General] g440i:
where I can find old version? And which version should I download?

I have tried 9.19.0 and 9.18.6 and can't find older.

Also, both version will check for new version in git?
[Sony Cross-Device General] nageswarswain:
Try 9.8.3 u can find it on flashtool.net

Hi all,

I was running the CM12 nightly here - http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=sirius&type=

I was sick of not having CWM recovery so I decided to try and install the CWM.img in the OP of this thread - http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/twrp-recovery-collection-t2999078

I downloaded cwm.img and put it into the correct folder, opened up fastboot and typed: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

Now my phone does not turn on and only vibrates.

Tried to plug in a cable and a flashing red light comes up

Can someone please explain what has happened and how to fix it?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Have you tried to hard reset it then flash a full ftf with flshmode using Flashtool?

The recovery thread you posted in is the best place for info on what went wrong. Unless there is a dedicated q&a thread for the recoveries.

Friends please help.

My Z2 currently it won't charge. What it happens is, phone is completely dead. I connect it to wall charge and red light appears. Several minutes later the red light goes off and I'm able to power on the device qith only 1% of battery!

I connect the wall charge again and it won't charge, even when phone is ON. It won't pass the 1% charge.

What can I do? I'm really a newbie regarding these kind of things :/

What is the CWM mishap? I've successfully flashed MIUI before and then I restored to stock, after that I tried to flash the newest MIUI release and I got into a bootloop. This has happened twice on two phones
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Popfan has changed phones so he may not answer. We had sd-card issues with CWM in its early versions. He was fixing things, see the CWM thread in DEVELOPMENT. As far a MIUI I think there were issues with the newest release, not sure though. You should also check the DEVELOPMENT thread for MIUI.

i boot in fastboot and installed kernal image

but then something went wrong and now its sutck at boot with vibration............whtat should i do now!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RpRAUC:
Im partially restored the phone.

Turn on the charging, the red light.

After 10 minutes, the light turns off.

After 4 hours charging lights on to red and not turned off the 17 hours.

If to connect my phone to PC, windows find Flash device. Flashtool sees the phone and says that USB debugging is disabled. But the green light is off and the smartphone is not flashing!

what do I do? I set it to charge, after a few hours it will turn red. I plug it in while holding the volume down button and wait for 15-20 minutes?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
While in bootloops and still plugged in to pc do a soft reset, 1 vibration, but then only let go of power button. Should get fastboot.

Try getting flashtool ready for tricks, as shown in the OP. Then try to flash. You can also do a soft reset then immediately press volume down and plug-in

Hi, I'm using xperia s, i decided to update my recovery to 2.8.7.0 (which I usually do) suddenly things go wrong because of the highlight text thingy which skipped the 1, instead of the recovery getting pushed to mmcblk0p11 it was pushed to mmcblk0p1, after that I've pushed the recovery to the right partition and decided to reboot my phone, guess what It didn't booted. My phones battery was around 4% when it happen. Is my phone soft-bricked or hard-bricked? is there a chance to revive my phone? I've connected my phone to my pc and charger still no response, tried lsusb command and flashtool, can't detect my phone, hope someone can help me :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] darknessmc:
You need a way to flash your backup of mmcblk01 if you backed it up or ta partition backup with box. This partition is important to boot your device and charge, fastboot, flashmod. It had all device information like modem, serials drm.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PaulDnoOb:
I don't have a backup of my mmcblk0p1, does that mean, I can't fix my phone, and my phone is still not responding to my charger or pc should I charge it longer

I think yes
[Sony Cross-Device General] PaulDnoOb:
Ok, I'll charge it overnight and report back.

I've tried a couple of ROMs but nothing seems to help. I can connect if to Flashtool in Flashmode and Fastboot mode.

I've tried to disconnect battery, charging it to 100% - nothing helped.

PC Companion is even uninstalled from my PC.

Do you have any other ideas what can I do to fix it?

I haven't tried installing custom ROM like CM yet. I'm not sure how to do it because CM is distributed as ZIP archive and Flashtool doesn't support it.

And make sure to be putting it in flash mode with Flash tool.

Did you instal drivers then?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dushandiaz:
Really Really thanks for your reply. :good::good::good: :o:o

I have installed the sony flashtool drivers.

but in it no drivers for xperia E4.

In windows 10 it shows the device as a mtp device.

I downloaded the sony E4 dual driver from the sony developer site. but how to install it?

I have tried everything possible ,ADB push and pull to restore the build .prop as well.

ADB devices command doesn't recognize the device.

but adb works on my old sony E1 device.tried it.

what should i do?

:crying::crying::(:(
[Sony Cross-Device General] farfetch:
What if I already restored my Z4 tablet in flashmode but EVERY fastboot command continue to result in "remote command not allowed"?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
MTP?? If it doesn't boot it's impossible.

And adb works indeed only with normally running

Fastboot only works if you have unlocked the bootloader. It has nothing to do with flash mode.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dushandiaz:
I haven't unlocked bootloader so no chance of fast boot.

MTP was some mediatek driver.

i gave to the service center for the phone to be repaired.

Apparently the sony pc companion and flashtool by androxyde i don't think work for mediatek devices like xperia C and E4 in case of bricking.

there is a tool called WMshua perfect flash for xperia C ( which can unbrick it ). I didn't try it because it was for android 4.2.2

and spflashtool for chinease mediatek devices.

Didn't try the other flashtool as i was scared to get the device hard bricked hence gave to the service centre.

thanks for the reply.

Everything was fine but one day accidentally flash via recovery the CM12 ROM.zip from nightly downloads from cyanogenmod download page and since then the phone is stuck in constant bootloop.

I tried to flash a stock rom with flashtool but the phone works well about 20 minutes and then restarted every so often . cm12 cm12 Kernel will be the problem ? is the kernel modify something like a partition boot or anything else?

Yesterday i leave the phone on the desk and inadvertently began to restart all the time to such an extent that much warmed and the battery has discharged completely. Now the battery is malfunctioning. I have the 4.14V output . i thought the battery was the problem for the constans reboots so...

I bought a new original battery and again I flashed with a jelly bean rom stock LT25i_9.2.A.2.5_1268-7821_R1J.ftf but the phone after about 20 minutes even restarts.

Any suggestions? T_T

the motherboard was damage?

do i have to flash only the stock kernel to stop the reboots ? help me please. t-t

i have access to fastboot and flashmode removing the battery because when i put the battery and trying to goes fastboot or flashmode it disconnect every time often.

Hi,

This xperia zl phone is not mine phone, I'm trying too help and I would like to revive the phone. I did try to update few different FTF firmwares using FlashTool and sony pc companion.This phone connects to pc without green light in downloading mode.All this tools looks like working ,only Flash tool at the end was giving me the warning that to be able to use flashTool require to unable Unknown sources option in settings that makes me wondering.

After updating the TFT firmware the phone reacts exactly same way as before updating a firmware :after pressing power no vibration only red light blinks 3 times.I'm able to access download mode without red light and by pressing volume up I can access as well fastmode (blue solid light it is working) .When the phone is plug in to the charger it will show xperia logo for 2sec and bootloop happens as long as the charger is plug in.When I press reset button located inside close to card slots and plug the charger the pfone vibrates once , space 2 sec and vibrates 3 times .

Now after reading this nice first post I'm getting a hope that maybe a really this phone need to drain battery completely then charge again without touching anything for long time.Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any help, idea how to revive this phone very much appreciate.

(UPDATE) I did drain battery ,unplug the battery connector for 5min, check the voltage (0) then I plug the wall charger.The first red solid light stays for 20-30 sec then sony logo bootloop again.I do not know, should I leave the phone to charge with this sony bootloop or the battery is not charging when the logo comes and go .Drain again and........... what my option?
