[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagittaja:
Anyone have any ideas what I still could try? I'll be leaving in maybe 2½ hours to Seinäjoki and take this thing to the repair shop. When I still had my HTC Desire and it went bonkers I tried and tried and did lots of things to try and get it working again. It was usb bricked and so on. Anyway, in the end I had spent like two or three months trying various methods but couldn't get it working again so I took it to the repair shop where it was like a month. If I would have taken it right away there it would have only been a month without a working Desire, instead of three to four months without a working Desire. So that's the reason I'll be taking it to the repair shop now. So if anyone comes up with please please do tell and I'll give it a go.

Well picked up my Note yesterday from the repair.

Info on what was done is "circuit board and battery changed"

It was updated to latest XXLRI stock rom 4.0.4.

It was working quite fine for a while but I'm now getting some random reboot every once in a while. Installed only few apps, Andchat/Tapatalk/Netflix/Facebook Messenger/Ebay and uninstalled some of them and didn't see any change in the random reboots.

I'm now downloading the 2.3.6 version, XBKK4 from sammobile. And will do a factory reset then, hopefully would resolve these random reboots. Did some searching and many people having this problem were suggested to go to GB and then reset. (well of course GB if wiping anything)

Guys, where can I find the MD5 for the stock rom on sammobile? I'd like to check the MD5 before I push it to my phone using Odin.

Here's the MD5 I got from the zip I downloaded (N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_NEE.zip) if any kind soul could bother to cross reference

E: Nevermind, I'm just being dense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnt:
For MD5 check on stock ROM, I use Odin mobile. It always suggest to run MD5 check before flashing.

Phone booted just fine. I'm greeted with the Welcome message but couldn't access the setup wizard because of Google service framework and phone and so on force closing. Went to stock recovery, factory reset + wipe cache and rebooted. Now it's fine. Haven't had any random reboot, yet.

As far as this thread goes I see this is solved.

Congratulations ! Happy after hard experience.

No idea if it's related to your issue but I was having the same thing and it was driving me bonkers for a while but I found the culprit: my headphones (plugged into 3.5") we're a ghetto repair job (think gaffer tape :D ) where I'd joined the cord from one pair to another pair.

I don't know exactly what was happening but I'm assuming that everytime some wires touched from the volume control wires (which we're connected to anything on purpose) it somehow made the device shutdown. I don't know the exact ins and outs of how this might happen. But anyhow, I'm absolutely certain it was something to do with wires in the headphones because it's never happened since I got new headphones.

Just an idea, who knows.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrgman:
I've had my transformer for quite awhile now and never had any problems with it.

But after installing android 4.2 (stock) I got shutdowns, this didnt happen imedietly after installing 4.2 but after a while.

Now I've found out that the shutdown happens when the battery has 41% left, I've tested it 4 times so far and everytime it shutted down when it hitted the 41%

I only have to recharge the tablet a bit to get it working again.

I havn't been using my tablet different since 4.2 and I really don't see why this is happening, and the tablet works fines as long that it doesn't get to 41%

I've been looking for a selution for my problem but havn't found one yet, as a matter of fact I didn't find any topic about this problem.

My tablet is running 4.2 stock and is not rooted.

I hope someone can help me solve this because it's getting really annoying :s

Thx

Edit: the tablet now shuts down on 55% battery left instead of 41% , this is not looking well and i hope someone has an solution for it because it is really annoying >.<
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrgman:
solved

I managed to solve the problem!

For other people who have this problem: use your tablet until it shuts down, than put in the charger it will go on and when it is turn it off again, than charge for a minimum of 8 hours and your tablet is good to go!

Thread moved from Original Development to General. This is a very helpful guide (thank you) but unfortunately, it does not meet criteria to fall under development.
[Xperia Z General] electrash:
Or you can flash ftf file with flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
But only when you get flashtool to recognize the phone in flashmode, and that can also be achieved by this guide, although i did not test that yet.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Yeah, i didn't know where it was supposed to go for sure :)

Thanks for moving it to the right forum!
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
I have tried it using flashtool, it works almost the same, I will update the OP with a flashtool guide once I am comfortable enough to write the guide, need some experience with that to account for the caveats flashtool might throw...
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Redone the OP, added a new guide... now this OP covers just about all you can recover from. :fingers-crossed:

I'm the living proof, my Z is still alive and I have been using all of the methods described in the OP to get me out of trouble more then once :D
[Xperia Z General] kaefert:
Hi there. As I've learned from your post here, I'm probably experiencing a "Bootstall" after trying to install your lockeddualrecovery1.7.zip from your other thread, and I tried to recovery using the FLASHTOOL method described above, but it doesn't seem to help, but I'm not sure if its working the way its supposed to.

I select the flashmode flashing tft a stock rom, deselected wipe data, and after getting told to connected the device in flashmode. then the flashwindow disappears and only the main window is still there. after a minute my device reboots, but the Bootstall still happens the same way as before.. Here my flashtool log (using flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6-linux)

UPDATE: Okey, It seems my self created tft package just was crappy and didn't work. I downloaded the one from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209637 and this one worked.

The only difference that I find between that one and my self created package is, that I've also included the file "simlock.ta" (I just put all of them in that where downloaded by the pc companion software)

But the main message of my update here: I'm back and rolling, and I didn't even loose my data ;)
[Xperia Z General] Bioschnitzel:
I have a refuseboot problem.

I read your guide but have still a question.

Where i can find the stock-kernel image?

Edit: i used the second method and it works.
[Xperia Z General] MafiaManV:
should this work in case of hardbricking the device by backup/restore TA image with our DRM keys?

thanks

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]

sorry, i just read it works for that case :)

[MENTION=4115953]gm007[/MENTION]

i remember you hardbricking your XZ. Are you able to bring it to life with this.?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
A hard brick means you can not restore your phone. A soft brick like I had is recoverable.

EDIT:

gm007 did not get his hard-bricked phone back to life with this guide, the phone is truly dead.
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
We'll after being impatient and rushing to apply latest update to UK stock rom running in Australia, I had my first bootloop ever in 6 years of flashing (Sony logo starting then phone shutting down). Nothing I was doing helped. Thought it was going to be service centre bound.

Found this thread again and applied the fix in Op.

Now I'm running the latest original clean aussie Rom with no problems whatsoever.

Thanks so much mate.

Nothing helped my phone,no fastboot no flashmode,that's why i bought a new one.
[Xperia Z General] MrGhoost:
where i find the fastboot tool?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
easiest tool to use for fastboot is FLASHTOOL, it can also flash kernels using [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]'s fastboot toolbox.
[Xperia Z General] MrGhoost:
when i flash the kernel with flashtool:

FASTBOOT Output:

sending 'boot' (7550 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.474s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.477s

why?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Did you unlock your bootloader?

If not, you should flash your kernel using FLASHTOOL in flashmode from an FTF file.

[Xperia Z General] epunrated:
Help me please !!

To NUT & experienced users:

I am nearly hopeless with my sony Z. So i hope to get some useful advances.

- First, my Sony Z ran 2.67 stock rom (rooted and had recovery) and it worked so well.

- Then, i downloaded "eXistenZ v4.3.5 | Ultra Edition | 10.3.1.A.2.74 | FULL HONAMI" modded rom of niaboc79 and installed it in recovery.

(may be the thing i forgot that the rom of niaboc79 based on 2.74 - but i wondered how much it related to? ). After installed, i rebooted as usual, but the issue was happening. My phone turned off immediately after appearing the Sony logo, and this issue has been happening so many times.

- After that, I tried to flash 4.3 Commercial & Journalist through the latest version (of course with installed adb drivers). When it's done, my phone turned on and worked normally, but it continued to turn off when i was syncing my contact, mail. And the issue happened again and again.

Now, it just appear the sony logo and then turn off immediately, although i put it in charge almost half of day and then try to flash back to 2.67 or 4.3 commercial journalist or even 4.2 .433 generic UK rom. I don't know what to do now.

I haven't unlocked my bootloader till now. And i tried to save it by the way using SUS like u said above, but when i complete all steps, it just appear the sentence "no new update software is available to ur phone, ur phone have had the latest version...".

When i put my phone in charge, it still has a red light but the issue also happen, appearing the sony logo and then turn off ....

What i have to do with my phone now? any opportunities ? or ... ?

Hope to receive ur advances now, i am so serious.
[Xperia Z General] :
nothing happens only the sony logo that was hanging there, and also tried to press VOL DOWN it gives me a little RED LED BLINK anyways i'll stick with the STOCK 4.3 without ROOT or anything till the Devs find out a better way to do this without getting a new 700$ phone!
[Xperia Z General] epunrated:
the same to me ??

I think ur issue and mine are the same .. just hanging the sony logo and then reboot automatically (again & again) till it goes out of battery and give us a red light when u try to put it in charge, right ?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=5535634]epunrated[/MENTION]

There should be a repair option in that screen, offering you to flash the update anyway but with loss of all contents... try that, maybe you will get lucky :)
[Xperia Z General] kamalmawa:
isn't repairing with SUS same as flashing with flashtool with full wipe ? friend of mines phone suddenly started doing the same as above (loop on a Sony logo). He hasn't done any modifications to his phone such as root or unlock bootloader.. Asked him to flash a ROM with flashtool but still looping at Sony logo
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Both yes and no: yes, it basically is the same, no because it will download your phone's specific customization.
[Xperia Z General] siavo:
Still Stuck! need help please!

Hi!,

So i've very carefully went through the whole thread and finally decided to post because after trying all the methods i'm still stuck at on boot stall. (Sony logo)

I've used the flashtool to flash the latest FTF (C6903 14.2.A.0.290 Central Europe 1276-4314_R1B) But to no avail. I've also tried resetting it through SUS (complete system format) and its the same.

Here are the logs from Flashtool, If this helps.

Rebooting is fine it gives three vibrations and shuts down.

Bootloader is locked, i havent rooted the device. This is the first update i've tried.

Any help will be appreciated, i'm at my wits end trying to revive this phone but i just can't seem to understand where i'm going wrong. :(
[Xperia Z General] Faelz:
Is your phone a Z1? if no, your flashing a Z1 rom...

If yes, try flashing another version of the TFT...
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Thanks to a user on my 'Update to 14.2.A.0.290' thread for the Z1 I know the answer ;)

Make sure you have Flashtool 0.9.13 and used that to flash it: It is a must for the Z1.
[Xperia Z General] siavo:
Yes it is a z1, i forgot to mention that, and also using the latest version of fllashtool which you've mentioned. Anyway i will try to flash some other ftf and see if that works. But shouldn't the SUS factory reset fix it?
[Xperia Z General] siavo:
So i tried flashing another FTF this time C6903 / 14.1.G.1.534_1277-2880_R4A / Global LTE. It finally booted, but it was showing baseband version unknown, and after 3 minutes, it rebooted by itself and went back to the same bootloop. I took out the sim card and tried booting again, but stuck in a boot loop on the sony logo.

Any advice? :confused:
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Flash the baseband from .290 to get your baseband/IMEI back.
[Xperia Z General] siavo:
okay so here is the situation, i've tried other version of FTF but the only one that eventually boots is "14.1.G.1.534_1277-2880_R4A / Global LTE" and that too after a few starting bootloops usually 2 or 3, and then it boots into the system.

I did a quick search for .209 baseband you mentioned, and i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2481248

Tried to flash with the flashtool i excluded the kernel and bootbundle but so far still baseband unknown and it reboots after 2 minutes.

Could you tell me how i might get the baseband for .209 that will work, or am i doing something wrong here?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=5621293]siavo[/MENTION], flash back that 534 rom and then let SUS repair/update your phone... It probably is the only way to get it working again, though you might lose everything on your phone...
[Xperia Z General] siavo:
I've just finished trying that as well, after SUS factory reset andupdate it goes to a bootloop. At this point i know all the data is lost, which really doesn't matter, i just want the phone to be working again! So far no luck. I know it can be fixed, since .534 at least somewhat boots. so it isn't a dead phone, but i can't understand what to do now. even .534 starts after a couple of bootloops and restarts.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
This would be a good time to bring it back to the shop or a repair centre... Sorry dude :(
[Xperia Z General] FrostyD:
I've had the bootloop and the sony logo halt and I've had to play around with flashtool and SUS to get it working again but so far I've been able to continue on. There's been more than a few times where I really messed up and it took a lot of playing around with flashtool and PC Companion but sooner or later I saw the flash of flashtool and the PC Companion recognized and performed a clean install so I could continue on.

Now on 4.3 (569) rooted with LB. This guide's got me to the point where I think as long as it vibrates, I breathe a sigh.
[Xperia Z General] sigo2oo9:
Hey guys,

I think I've killed my Xperia Z, I tried to install the .569 update (flashable zip, rooted [NUT] edition) and afterwards it would boot ok, but then randomly reboot. I then tried to re-flash a stock rom using Flashtool and the same symptoms continued. Then I tried re-flashing omni rom which I was running before hand and it wouldnt even boot (would get to omni rom logo then reboot). Then I tried unlocking my bootloader and re-flashing omni rom + a few other things I cant remember now. I've since tried re-locking the bootloader as well.

Now all it does is boot the Sony logo for 1-2 seconds then reboot (literally flashes Sony on the screen, turns off, red LED, then Sony logo again and reboots)

I've tried flashtool, SUS and Sony PC Companion to flash new roms (flashtool) and repair alll appear to progress fine with no errors at all but upon reboot it just loops as above again.

fastboot still works also, have tried flashing different kernels etc again to no avail :(

Not sure where to go from here, have I killed it?

I fear the part in red is the state my phone is most likely in..

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=2033420]sigo2oo9[/MENTION], I'm afraid your device is officially ripe for the service center... Unless your battery has depleted and you need a charging dock to revive it, your problems might come from broken flash memory...

That what it currently does has nothing to do with the softbrick you get when relocking a bootloader on a custom kernel... Then it would not even show you the sony kernel logo...

Xperia pro can't turn on :(

Hi,

Sorry for asking here..I am not using xperia Z but xperia pro and find out this thread which is I think will help my problem.

Yesterday I tried to root my phone using Doomlord method, but it needs kernel .562 while mine was .587. I managed to flash it using flashtool, and after it's finished, I found my phone can't turn on. Only 3 buttons below the screen blinking,vibrate once, and nothing happened to the screen only blank. Can I some suggestion about getting on my xperia?because my xperia is in lockedbootloader and unrooted before it happened.

Thanks a lot...
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
You have a softbrick, you flashed a custom kernel on a locked bootloader.

Use any FTF and the Flashtool guide to flash the sony kernel only, you will probably get it working without breaking in to too much sweat ;)
[Xperia Z General] odnamra87:
Oke will try it, I think the kernel I flashed is the custom one not the original one :(

Will it be able to be flashed if I used the sony kernel?because the flashtool didn't even able to flash it. On computer screen, it stuck on 'how to flash sequence', the one that we need to push back button during flashing.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Take out your battery, disconnect your USB cable.

Put flashtool on that same point again, put back your battery but DO NOT POWER IT UP! Now hold the back button while reconnecting the USB cable. :good:
[Xperia Z General] odnamra87:
Finally made it..flash it with .587 firmware and normal again. Thanks a lot.:good::good:

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Hi Nut, seems that you're here as well :P

I actually bricked my device guys, currently what happens:

>Connect phone via USB to PC

>Phone connects ( with red LED blinking, at 1 blink per sec, slightly faster actually )

>Phone disconnects by itself, connects again, repeat but on Flashtool no indication that the phone is disconnected.

Holding VOL-D or UP does not give any effect (as per usual flashmode/fastboot triggering method).

And to whomever able to help me get my phone working again (without going to Sony), I'll donate some money to you, enough for 2 days' lunch. *however depends on the currency you're using*
[Xperia Z General] crazymister:
Sounds like your battery is depleted. Charge for a few hours using the original charger and cable.

After that try flashing a stock Sony kernel fitting for your firmware
[Xperia Z General] 8geek:
Done so. Connected phone with original charger AND original cable via USB port for entire night. Still not able to get it switched on.

Sometimes I even charge it for more than 12 hours. Still the same. :(
[Xperia Z General] crazymister:
I meant charge through mains. Your computers USB port won't charge fast enough, since USB only gives 500mah, which just isn't enough. (unless you use a special quick charge slot but i do doubt that)
