Xperia ZL nothing works

Xperia ZL C6503

It started out as shutting off randomly, sometimes i got a chance to insert my pin and then shut off again..

Other times it just loaded the Sony + Xperia logo and shut off.

Now when i try to turn it on it just shows the Sony logo and turns off instantly.

When i connect it to a PC it doesn't even show the Sony logo when i try to boot but every minute it connects/disconnects in flash mode.

And if i connect it to a wall charger it gets stuck in an infinite bootloop with a red LED and doesn't start charging.

I've tried fixing via Sony PC Companion which didn't work and also tried flashing with a C6503_10.5.1.A.0.292_Customized_NCB.ftf (whatever that is) which didn't work either..

Not sure what i should do.. The instructions aren't very clear and i'm not familiar with all these terms.

Thought I had solidified my phone into a brick, but thanks again to this guide it was still soft :) I guess I didn't have the right adb drivers since updating to windows 10. Was trying everything, downloaded adb again from another post, and flashtool finally took.

Thanks again for these guides. Now I can finally sell this thing.

Hello, my phone still stuck at sony logo and then turn off and so and so. After flashing through flashtool still the same. Can someone help me please..

EDIT: Tried using Sony PCC too, but still the same.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
What model are we talking about here?

Did you try to remove SIM and SDCard already?

Are you sure you are flashing the correct ROM? Do you flash everything (and wiping everything) when using flashtool?
[Xperia Z General] styropian:
This xperia zl phone is not mine phone, I would like to revive the phone. I did try to update few different FTF firmwares using FlashTool and sony pc companion.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 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 go access download mode and by pressing volume up I can access as well fastmode (blue solid light) .When the phone is plug to charger it will show xperia logo for 2sec and infinity bootloops .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 .

I m wondering if its possible the battery could be bad or hardware or software issue.The phone was not modify just happen to be dead.

Any help, idea how to revive the phone very much appreciate.
[Xperia Z General] Ohhdayumm:
I had this problem a few days ago just let it charge and bootloop eventually it will boot up and you will be able to flash stock firmware
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Hmm... first of all... just to be on the safe side, please update Flashtool to the latest version (0.9.19.10) and try once more. Please report back once you tried and let me know if it still fails or that it actually worked fine that attempt.

So i flash stock firmware lolipop using flashtool. After the flash is finish and power my divece. Only sony logo appear and after that black screen only. How to solve this
[Xperia Z General] stukka2006:
I have the same problem...

I have installed the XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-release.combined from my PC...

everythig worked fine, I did a back-up on the SD card.

after that I copied on another sd card the cm-13.0-20160507-unofficial-uga.zip, the z.5.1.1 ramdisk replacer for cm13.0, open gapps arm 6.0 nano and the xz.zip...

I started again recovery from the PC, I think that was the mistake, and tried to install everything in one move...

I think there was not enough space on the ram for all this...

the phone bootes until the xperia logo and then freezes.

I tried a lot of thigs with no success.

thxs in advance for your help!

I recovered my XZ , thks to nevenx!
[Xperia Z General] akisg:
Just happened to me, after normal using RR latest build 5.8.2 on my Xperia Z, after a reboot, i only got xperia logo and then bootloop. I was able to access only fastboot. I thought battery died, although it was 50% charged at the time of reboot,because it looked like it couldn't charge. So i ordered a new one and in the meanwhile i opened the back cover just to be ready to replace the battery. Then i tried to disconnect the battery, put charger in and while charging reconnected the battery. Phone came back to life and now its charging (waiting to charge at least 50% before i try to boot, battery was completely drained), so maybe that's the case with you. Battery can die even though it looks like its not fully drained.

Bootstall

Hi, I'd never heard of a bootstall but that's what I had. Followed the instructions (I would never found a ROM that old) and it works perfectly again. Thank you all.
[Xperia Z General] Yotis_Thess:
Flashmode

Problem with Xperia Z after a serious mistake i made. I had Android 5.1.1 and TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery.

The wrong was that i flashed within Recovery newer TWRP version, 3.1.0.0 img file. It gave me only one option to be flashed into BOOT section, and i made the mistake to accept that, but i sould not proceed because did not gave me option to flash on FOTA .After that phone fall to Bootstall. The flash mode stop work, led blink red and green once. Fastboot mode works and i flash many Kernels. I try to flash many other versions of Android 5.1.1 but no one worked. I flash Android KitKat 4.4.2 and the phone worked with errors. I flash Resurrection Remix N v.5.8.3 and phone works perfectly! but the problem remain. Does any one know how can i make flash mode (Power key + Volume down) work again? Boot loader is unlocked. Thank you.

- always ends with COMMAND FAILED ERROR with command line

- seems to be unlocked using flashtool BLU function but doesn't unlock it for real

I don't know what to do more. It seems like the kernel partition is corrupted and cannot be written.

I tried a lot of flashtool versions, FTF files, kernel / boot images, as well as PC companion, EMMA, SUS, ...

I cannot charge my phone correctly since it reboots every 30 seconds

Any help / advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello guys, my ZL C6503 is dead, I have tried everything and did not worked. It was working fine one day and was dead in the other, I think maybe some water got inside, I already used the hair dryer and did't work either.

When I try to turn it on it vibrate once, rests for about 2 seconds and then vibrates 3 times repeatedly. I does the same thing connected to the power cable. Cannot connect to the pc for fastboot, it just keep on with the vibration.

Dou you guys think that replacing the battery will work?

Any help at all will be much appreciated. Thank you.
[Xperia Z General] Django_Boy:
It came back to life on its own guys
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
In any FTF you can dig up for your device on XDA.

i just bought the xperia z which had .350 firmware which i rooted & installed recovery & flashed purexaudio...& then changed the recovery to dual recovery....then i decided to restore a backup i made before installing the mod....but after restoring & wipind dalvik cache...my phone doesnt boot it goes till the bootanimation & just stays there...no reboots nothing just stuck on the animation....so i tried to flash a global 350 ftf but flashtool wasnt detecting the firmware....so i am trying sony update center....is that safe? would it brick my device? also sus is an independent application am i right? or is it part of pc companion? this is what i am using

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

if someone knows of an ftf that has worked for them...could you please post the link of that ftf?? any help would be appreciated thank you
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Just use SUS to restore your phone. That will work just fine.

after i downgrade to 434, my xperia z cant boot up, some sort like a boot loop, nfc is upgrading, then over and over again, is there anyway to recover that?

Downgrade with wiping data.
[Xperia Z General] Jambu95:
by using SUS?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
You cannot by sus,only with flashtool.

I've updated the ZL reset operation. Including a picture to guide you to the right switch :)

Bricked my phone again :)

It starts boot and shuts off.

Can't connect via flashmode (voldown key) and using the tutorial (power+volup and when the screen goes black, voldown).

When i keep power and volup it show a red led and vibrates once. No screen going black. If i keep it pressed it vibrate 3 times...

I could get it in fastboot mode but the cmd dont find the phone :/
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Dude, :eek:

How the hell did you brick it like that? :p

So, did you fix it in the end? Could you power off the phone? Because your phone did vibrate normally but the screen didn't turn off...

Maybe time to relock and flash stock to return it for repairs :p
[Xperia Z General] Faelz:
hahah.

I was installing Pac Rom.

I flashed kernel via fastboot and booted into recovery, there TWRP cant "see" the files for some time. After lots of reboots with power+volup it recodnized my internal memory...

So i installed the zip with PAC rom and reboot. After that the phone shut off and only powered up after i pressed power+volup for 15 sec...

I charged it to 100%, restarted the PC and leave the phone off for 30 minutes, then i tried to flash stock via flashmode and it flashed (thank god)

i think i noticed: Now, when connected via flashmode, the green led dont stays on. It pop's up red, then flash 1 time green and shuts off....

Now i'm scared of bricking it again, no more Kernels for now :x
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Oh, about the LED, it does that for me too, don't worry too much about that... But I'm glad you got it working again :)
[Xperia Z General] Faelz:
thanks man! i was freaking out kkkkkkkkkk
[Xperia Z General] Aka91:
i dont know what i did!

i had cm10.1 FXP!

then i thought of reverting back to stock!

so i opened flashtool and prepare for bootloader relock!

everything was done but then!

i tried to flash a ftf stock but it could not do that!

then i thought that maybe i should remain on cm only

so i unlocked my bootloader again and when i tried to root the phone using doomlords method i was stuck!

:(((

now my phone just vibrates and red led blinks

it can still get into fastboot(blue led)

please help me...i dont know a thing!

i just want to go to stock or have my phone working!

pleaseee!

someone!!!!
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Grab the stock FTF you wanted to use, open it with winzip/winrar/7zip and extract the kernel.sin. Try flashing that using the fastboot option in FlashTool.

IF it will show a SONY logo then, try to get in to FLASHMODE and flash the entire FTF.
[Xperia Z General] Aka91:
hey ui somehow managed to get to CM10.1 again!

now am really fed up of reboots and stuff!

and thinking of going to stock!

so should i just use the SUS or PC Companion or flashtool?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
When you have an unlocked bootloader you can go back to stock only with flashtool or emma.

bricked xperia zl (C6502)

my xperia zl it maybe soft or hard brick, i dont know..

- after press the power button,the phone is vibrate and showing the sony logo just in 1-2 second..

- when i plug in the usb cable to my xperia is automatically connected in "flash mode" even i dont press any button.. :eek:

i dont have make TA backup before unlock bootloader..

-flashed offcial kernel = failed (flashtool)

-flashed custom kernel = failed(flashtool)

-flashed using SUS = failed (im locked my phone back)

please help !! :mad:
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
If you use the reset switch and keep it pressed for a while (15 seconds max) does your phone vibrate 3 times?

If your phone automatically connects in flashmode your system partition is gone (i mean, unreadable).

Try flashing the system partition of any customization only.

Alternatively, try re-unlocking the bootloader and flashing DooMKernel (fastboot!) and try to create a nandroid backup. Then flash an entire FTF excluding the kernel.

Good luck :(
