[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
So I got my Z1 yesterday, was on 4.4.2 stock unrooted. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's official website and fastboot, then I went on destroying the phone by flashing Philz touch recovery.img through fastboot.

And since then the phone has been bricked, I can only enter Fastboot through the blue led, while Flash mode doesn't show up any LED light and my PC sees the phone when on flashmode as n "S1 device with a parameter error".

I've tried all drivers, none worked, and the flashtool keeps suggesting I should update my drivers when connecting the phone on flash mode:

Is there any way I can recover from this through fastboot instead of the flashtool? I can still flash system.img and recovery.img through fastboot. I'd really appreciate any help right now.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Xperia phones do not have a recovery partition to flash recovery to via fastboot.

If you can enter fastboot, then flash a stock kernel.elf with flashtool (In fastboot mode).

Then you can use flashtool to relock your boot (I imagine you have not even taken a TA backup and you are new to xperia devices, your post suggests so)

then you should be able to use pccompanion to repair, or flashtool to flash a FTF

However, by flashing a recovery image you may have bricked the phone. try what I have said, if it does not work get back in touch. (Do you have access to jtag and setool?)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Can you link me to the files you suggested I try? There seems to be a truckload of them laying around the forum.

Also, yes, I am new to xperia phones. Didnt think they were this complicated to flash but I shouldnt have played with fastboot anyway. And no, sadly I dont have a jtag. Never needed one before.

Thanks for the help btw, I greatly appreciate this.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddhouse:
i dont think you have 100% installed the drivers, on windows 7 upwards you need to disable driver signature to allow any unsigned drivers to be installed
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Look in the mega collection thread in the general section for a 442 ftf file. The kernel.elf will be in it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Alright, but how do I extract it from the TFT file?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Global 1277-2880.ftf

Is this 4.4.2?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Ok here is an update; after messing with fastboot for so long and a couple of kernel flashes, I managed to boot the phone :D But now its stuck on the Sony logo.

A sign of hope though lies with the fact that I managed to enter recovery mode and found CWM hanging there. So now Im probably going to try ADB push a rom file to the SD and try to flash it through recovery instead.

[MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Sounds good. The reason forth hang at the sony logo will be that you have wiped the system partition. Flashing a rom based on the kernel you have will enable the phone to boot
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Would flashing a custom rom zip from the CWM recovery, fix the bootloop? Or could it also be a baseband/firmware issue too?

Im not really familiar with Sony's bootloader unlock process, does it allow kernel flash from recovery or only through fastboot ala Htc style?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuja1:
first flash original stock rom, than root your phone and install dualrecovery... and if u relock your bootloader unlock it again... don't try custom rom before this steps
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, as long as the .zip contains a kernel, or id based on the same kernel you have installed now

Yes, if you have an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Alright thanks, gonna give it a go once im home. And yes, I already unlocked the bootloader through Sony's website and fastboot before this happened.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
It already has the dual recovery on it but for some reason its stuck in a bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuja1:
do u have any rom on it or u just have bootloop? i u can't access to rom, u need with flashtool to flash stock rom, when u do that u loose your root and lose your dualrecovery... u need to root it again and install dualrecovery

second is

if u can access to rom instal ndr utility and reboot in clockwork mod recovery...

third option si to install via fastboot advanced doomloader kernel which has clockwork mod and has root... after that to flash custom rom but stock version of custom rom ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Any of you guys know of a Stock rooted 4.4.4 rom that comes with the stock kernel in a flashable zip? I have looked everywhere for one but I cant find any.

Already did, not really what Im looking for. I want the stock rom but only rooted and in a flashable zip, can't believe there aint any around.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I can think of at least 3 in the development section off the top of my head...

You can? Link me Greg..link me :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Look for any of the three roms by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

They are all stock based, only thing is root and recovery added.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
Do we have the 4.4.4 kernel on a flashable zip?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, but look in [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]s latest 108 thread and he has it on stripped FTF that you can flash using flashtool
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
I still have the good old problem of not having my PC recognize the phone while in Flash mode. EVERYTHING works fine when on fastboot or mass storage or even ADB. And hence why im looking for a stock 108 firmware rooted zip instead of flashing a good old ftf file.

It must be a driver issue but I used every one available and still end up with an error. Im running Win 7 64 bit btw.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Then just update via pccompanion to 4.4.4, root, install recovery and then the rom of your choice

If that's your only problem I suggest re installing flashtool and the flashmode drivers.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuja1:

download V05 and unzip it, after that with fastboot insert boot.img in your phone. than u will have kerenel with recovery which work great, after that u will have option to put any rom in your phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Thanks guys, really. I just finished flashing rooted 108 on my Z1 [emoji16] turns out the issue wasn't in the drivers but rather my freaking Kaspersky antivirus blocking the 'harmful' virus. That idiot wasted 10 hours of my last two days troubleshooting.

Oh well, glad it ended with a success i guess lol. Again, thank you everyone who helped or tried to in any way. You're the reason this forum is what it is today. Cheers!

hi

my xperia z1 won't boot

tried to boot it through fastboot and flashboot but nothing

all it does is flash red a few times through the earphone

i am not experienced in the flashing business

any help will be deeply appreciated

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Some details would help. What version were you on? What were you trying to do when you bricked it? Etc..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_assaf:
i did nothing to the phone , it was running fine till one day it decided not to work

in short it is stock non rooted phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Hmm sounds exactly like a Sony phone lol.

Anyway, I recommend trying to warranty it if you've such an option, otheewise try to flash a 108 stock FTF image through flashtoll but makes sure you've the right drivers before you plug in the phone and also disable your anti virus too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaeedFazlollahzadeh:
Plug in your phone to charger

If you see red light, let the phone plugged in for one or two minutes

If your phone has more than seventy percent charges, now you can flash it by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system

I faced two or three times bricked my phone, but this method helped me

The first time I had a minor heart attack! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_assaf:
the thing is my pc doesn't recognize the phone ((( i am new to flashing and rooting ) please recommend the tools and or the drivers necessary

i already tried "sony mobile flasher by androxyde

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

and i do not know how define the appropriate stock "version" for my mobile

and the warranty and the service is out of question because i live in such a dumb place called Libya "no official sony stores and support "
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaeedFazlollahzadeh:
Search English or your own language, download z1 roms

And aslo search Flash Tools and download the latest version from its site

Install it anywhere you want

Then go to installed directory, go to driver folder and double click the flash tools driver

Select Flash mode, Fastboot and your phone model and choose Next to to install the selected drivers

Be patient till it ends

Meanwhile, search how to flash by flash tools and you'll learn and I think the recognition problem also could be solved
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidjumani:
Do the custom roms in this section support the droid razr maxx xt912m too??? Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Yes. You might check out CM 11. It is pretty awesome. You can download the latest version for the xt912 here. But you appear to be in India. Sure you dont have the XT910?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidjumani:
I previously had the atrix2 but gave it to my dad. I'm planning on getting the droid razr maxx (from the us as the battery life is a lot better) and i would like to know if BMM and the other roms here are compatible with it like cm and sokp as well as jbx kernel and also if the droid razr maxx is gsm compatible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
XT 912 and XT 912m only differ in the battery, everything that works for the Droid Razr will work for Droid Razr Maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidjumani:
Sorry for asking again but bmm and the roms will work for the xt912MXX too (because once i get it i cant return the phone) ?? Especially bmm because i love to mess around with multiple roms

Does it also support gsm (on stock and custom roms) ??? Because some say it doesn't but others say it does on ics and above.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
Yes, everything works. The variants are not different regarding anything s/w related.

BMM, SS both works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidjumani:
So will it support gsm on the custom roms too???

And what about the droid razr maxx hd??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
For GSM you will need GSM fix. Search the general section.

Maxx HD is an entirely different phone. Its xt926.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoccerRef12:
The xt910 (GSM) and the xt912 (CDMA) use different versions of ROMs. Ensure you install a ROM for the correct version of Droid razr.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonLeeming:
Hi guys,

I accidentally installed TF700 recovery on my TF300 (yes I know, I'm a tool), so as you expect, with it being made for a higher resolution screen, it only shows a small portion of the recovery screen on my TF300, so I can't flash any other recovery images or ROMs as I can't access the slide to flash function on TWRP. To top it off, the fastboot USB logo does not show up, just the RCK, Android and wipe data options.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jason
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson23:
Can you boot into the system?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonLeeming:
Yeah sorry, forgot to say. There is no ROM installed, just that completely wrong recovery.

Jason
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson23:
Dang.

It's weird that you'd have an affected bootloader. Recovery flashing is only supposed to mess with the recovery partition. Have you tried connecting your tablet to different computers using different usb's? Perhaps then fastboot will appear. Have you tried fastboot devices from your computer? What does it print?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonLeeming:
I would try that, but I don't have any other computers and I only have the one USB cable.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonLeeming:
I haven't had a ROM installed on it for a while, and I haven't used it for a while. When I started messing with it yesterday I certainly remember the USB logo being there, but after installing that recovery it just isn't. All the correct drivers are installed, and the laptop seems to recognise the fastboot with no problems.

Jason
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson23:
Gotcha.

Well if it recognizes it, just try fastboot flashing a new recovery...

If you do fastboot devices, does it pop your device up?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:

Do not give up just yet , take it to service center ( does not have to be Samsung) it may be just a cold solder point ( loose contact) does not seem to be something terribly bad.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You only need a root shell to run those commands. You can do it while in recovery.

FYI, for the Sprint M8, the command you'll need for our Model ID is:

echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x37\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384

The rest of the commands you should take from the thread instructions. I just noticed there wasn't a section for the Sprint variant.

fastboot oem ? is just like fastboot getvar all - you run it from fastboot. But that was just for my own edification, so it isn't important. I was just wondering if there was an easier way to set MID, like if you were running the firewater HBOOT. But I digress (since you seem unwilling to post the output).
