I have downloaded the file 6mb recovery.img file and through mobile uncle tools i was updating... all was going well it ask me r u sure to flash i pressed ok and my phone became dead ...Now it is not starting....!!!!Plzzz Help me ....!!!:crying:
[Sony Xperia C] n78 shadow:
It's so easy to fix it.:thumbup:

You've entered in something called "bootloop".

Now how we can fix an xperia device from bootloop.

What do we need:

1,A computer with flashtool installed on.

2,A good USB cable (because we don't want the dvice to disconnect in the middle of the flashing process ).

3,download c2305 stock firmware .ftf (stock rom.ftf).(from the link below)

Now follow these steps and they will bring your phone to the safe:

1,turn off your device and keep it off and don't forget to charge it well before this process.

2,Replace the stock firmware.ftf to firmware folder in the flashtool folder in the place you installed in (usually in c:\\flashtool\firmwares)

3,Now open flashtool and click the flash icon then select flashmode then OK.

4,Now select your firmware from the list and if you don't want to lose your data just uncheck the box of wipe data in the top right corner.

5,click on "flash" and wait because it's preparing.

6,Then after this it will show you a window request to press the back bottom (the volume down bottom)

And connect your device, do it and Keep pressing until the window disappear.

7,Now the tool is flashing your phone DON'T touch the cable until it's finished.

8,when it's finished wait for 10 sec and unplug your device.

9,Now wait for about one min if it doesn't turn on automatically turn on it will about 3min to boot wait and don't worry.

Congratulations your phone is well know.

Notes:

1.If the tool doesn't see the connected device, there's a folder named "drivers" open and open the. Exe

And install your device's driver.

2, because I'm new user they don't allow me to give a link so just give me your email and I'll send the link to you.

(the stock firmware.ftf link i mean)

[Sony Xperia C] rkumbhar:

[Sony Xperia C] n78 shadow:
Hi bro

You must install the flashmode, fastboot driver and your device driver in flashtool\drivers\Flashtool_drivers.exe

DON'T forget to install your device driver AND to hit thanks;)
[Sony Xperia C] rkumbhar:
i installed all the drivers but still sony xperia c not getting detected
[Sony Xperia C] n78 shadow:
It's not detected when Flashtool requests to connect the phone or not at all

If it's not detected when Flashtool requests to connect the phone try to connect it before the flashing proccess.

And don't forget to connect it in flashmode by holding the vol- key and connect it to Pc
[Sony Xperia C] ajithmemana:
Phone still not detected in Fastboot mode

I have installed all the drivers and tried. But my phone is not entering Fastboot mode or showing up in device manager. My phone is not turning on after flashing recovery using Mobile Uncle tools. The red light glows when usb plugged in.

The Virgin Mobile US version is in certification stage of Lollipop release as it shows on the software updates page. I have no idea how much longer that would take.

gsmarena.com said that the new UK Sense version is 6.5. Can anyone with the update verify?
[Desire 816 General] bigbear1308:
a5ul in Thailand still Sense 6
[Desire 816 General] doxeno:
Hey everyone. So I've been offered the lollipop update but I'm worried that the update will give me more problems than solutions. So I'm not updating it just yet. I have concerns about battery life getting worse, like how lollipop does to some other phones. So I'll be patiently waiting to see what you guys think, if you've tried it out already.

Also, the update is ~800MB which is kinda crazy. Guess I'll be deleting apps. :(

Anyways, please tell me how Lollipop is so far! Hope everything is smooth and fine. :D

Cheers.
[Desire 816 General] drummer1839:
Battery life is worse then on kk..
[Desire 816 General] aria_kh:
I confirm that the battery life is way worse than kk.

And the power saver notification (card) is so annoying.

I hope there'll be some fix for these.

By the way the lock screen is updatable on play store after the lollipop update.

Dual sim, Eu version here.
[Desire 816 General] robert_rcr:
I just started getting the "System update available" notification on my VM USA Desire 816 but I don't want to loose root. Has anyone updated while root? What where the results? Will apps that depend on root access work properly? I have way too many questions.
[Desire 816 General] kamildouglas31:
im tryin to root with the new update and its not working
[Desire 816 General] LiquidPlacidity:
Why don't you just do it the right way then root after?
[Desire 816 General] robert_rcr:
Because I should be studying for my CCNP exam and not playing with my phone....
[Desire 816 General] kamildouglas31:
i just tryed to unlock the bootloader again and it works now hells yea now to get all of my apps and **** from titanium backup
[Desire 816 General] LiquidPlacidity:
Then wait after and do it the right way. It'll be better that you know your phone isn't going to break and you'll have to mess with it even more to fix it..
[Desire 816 General] Tommydorns:
Just installed, so far I think it sucks. STILL can't use a different wallpaper for Lock Screen. Thought it was because of 4.4.2 but I was wrong. It is stupid how other HTC phones can do this but this phone can't. Stupid I have to use 3rd party lock screen to achieve this feature. World clock earth is gone also. So far I hate this update.
[Desire 816 General] kamildouglas31:
this update is good we now hav the new stock htc camara the one with the photo booth mode i didnt really tried it out yet but i hope it dont crash which im sure it wont oh and theres no clear allwhen u click on the recents apps button

So much mixed feedback. I keep hearing battery life is better but here people are saying it's worse. Some say it runs better than KitKat, some say worse, and some say they are even. Don't know who to believe
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mewmix:
So I softbricked as soon as I bought this device being too eager to have fun and not reading all the technical details, fast forward to now and I have a rooted XT126 running a GSM rom, TWRP works great for flashing but I didn't flash it directly to device. I know I can't go back to stock but in the mean time I have been troubleshooting the hell outta getting my boost APN settings to work, try the LTE fix found on forums, no luck, the MMS 8 app didn't help either. In the hidden dialer menu (test menu) I am able to attach briefly to boost but then the PRL settings change it back and drop the connection.

I know everyones bumming with their softbricked devices, but I think our persistence will get everything smoothed out in record time! I am very happy atleast to be able to boot my device and if you're in the same boat you can join me in my sprint(? or at&t) rom troubleshooting!!!!!

I just tried the CMDA kernel squid pumped out, gonna be troubleshooting my phone on this for the night.

Thanks guys!!!!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mewmix:
Quick update

Not that anyone has expressed concerns but, thanks to the wealth of knowledge here on the forums and our devices' sheer power, I have been able to connect to CDMA and 4g LTE networks with the device, albeit temporarily. *#*#4636#*#* and LTE Discovery(root app) have been my best friends so far.

Now I have been able to receive and send messages through hangouts temporarily through 4g and receive 1TX cdma signals, as well as attach and get authenticated through sprint's network as well. I reflashed the Moto G forums' Boost APN fix and it appears to have taken this time, along with the stock kernel again credits to squid's thread.
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Maybe it's too much to ask for DSEE-HX

But, seriously, sounds like sh*t on headphone mode

much worse than stock 4.4.4

and speaker is worse as well

edit:

It seems fixed after "walkman" is updated to "music"

Try update it and take a reboot :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.music&hl=en

"Music" update may not be available for you if u are not a beta tester

Then download it here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ONZFOkl3m7aDY1aUpCSVdDZVU/view

thanks [MENTION=4210661]ImAnurag[/MENTION] for sharing

hope it helps
[Xperia Z1 General] mikailmohammed:
Very soft speaker and i am yet to test the headphones. We need to wait on some mods like dreamingonmusic. To be honest the Z1 never had good sound quality anyway.
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Yeah never been good without mod, known to be worse than Xperia Z

Big drop as i used to use Dreamingonmusic

but 4.4.4 without mod seems still better than 5.0

I feel that sony just copy and paste 90% files from Z2 and Z3 690 so..... not well calibrated
[Xperia Z1 General] Zerousen:
Honestly, I find that music with headphones sounds great. I just make sure to turn on studio surround sound and adjust the equalizer based on what headphones I use.
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Just feel no detail :'(

Using EX650AP, u?
[Xperia Z1 General] LeParkour012:
It's funny how I made a post asking about the sound quality on the Q&A section. I guess no one visits the the Q&A section anymore
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
KKKK sorry bro
[Xperia Z1 General] LeParkour012:
No need for an apology. At least you got the attention of others for the same problem I'm wondering about.

Now isn't there anyway we can increase the loudness of the speaker? Maybe even the clarity too. Because the Audio mods for Kitkat are able to do that. I'm sure we can do the same on Lollipop
[Xperia Z1 General] XDAample:
So…

So what is your detail? You just complaint with your feeling too, aren't you?
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
My friend in the dreamingonmusic team is trying out to make mods soon, really looking forward for it

If no good mods are made I am probably going back to 4.4.4 just for the music.

I mean the resolution of the music.... pretty low that i cant hear the detail of the songs
[Xperia Z1 General] LeParkour012:
Yeah let's hope your friend will be able to do it. Because I am not going back to 4.4.4
[Xperia Z1 General] favinho:
I notice a better quality of sound in headphones louder and better bass, but in speaker it sucks!!! There are no option for XLoud and the sound is ?
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Is it? how can it be better headphones?

which headphone u using? did u use those default given headphones settings?
[Xperia Z1 General] favinho:
Yeah kind of, I have the default given and I tested in mi SBH20 and I notice a lil improvement in Bass and Loudness, what really sucks is in Speaker, I can't even hear my message notifications
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
count me in ! I have Sony MDR-XB950BT headphones and i listen a lot ! instantly noticed huge difference when updated... sound is too low and settings doesnt change much anymore... whats up with that sony ?!
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
I actually found the headphone volume is lowered too, maybe tends to be a bit more bass by its decrease of clearity. Yeah the speaker sucks and suffer feature loss x_x

Low volume isnt problem for me as i dont need high volume, just give me more clearity and resolution!!!!!!
[Xperia Z1 General] LeParkour012:
Here's a quote from me on the Q&A Section:

I'm guessing you guys are facing the same issues? The speakers are WAY too soft. The difference in volume from Max to 3/4 is just too big. Too quiet on 3/4 and just average on max.
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Yeah, only the last two steps are a bit louder

Sony is getting lazy to calibrate the Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] BlackSoulxxx:
Me too guys. Sound quality is bad, sony is getting lazy as f*ck for z1 because they want to sell their z2/z3...
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
seriously, not responsible to nerf our phone just becoz they want to sell the new one.

Maybe not hseehx but at least give us back what we used to have
[Xperia Z1 General] Mohammedkm:
Pathetic Sound Quality with speakers aswell as as earphones. Kitkat was much better.
[Xperia Z1 General] eraldopaes:
Terrible terrible...

I just boost a little change mixer_paths.xml but it sucks too

Install stock pre-rooted lollipop through recovery (odex) -> bootup -> update "walkman" to "music" through playstore (if u arent a "music" beta tester, download it in the first post) -> reboot -> done

u may need to screw around soundenhancement and check if shizs are working
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
Updated to music and now equalizer works but audio is still not what it used to be ! tried rebooting many times !
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
I assume u have recovery?? maybe flash the stock rom again, this shxt seems depends on luck....

Or if u dont even root then use flashtool....
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
Nope, not even root ! resetted the phone when i installed Lollipop... lost root and recovery etc :D waiting for some good one click root method :P
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
than I think you may wait for a loooooong time........it's better if you flash a pre-rooted rom, there are a ton in this forum..........

Maybe u reinstall facebook or re login?
[Xperia Z1 General] amey2606:
Yeah, but the thing is I'm getting massive battery drain because of the new Music beta 9.0.0.12b or something like that.

So i reverted to the previous version of Walkman.

So was asking if anybody noticed the difference in overall sound quality.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rustam132:
Reinstall facebook not shown like button(
[Xperia Z1 General] DorianX:
Did you debloated your ROM?
[Xperia Z1 General] Rustam132:
No stock rom only.even not root!
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
been tampering round with the Music Beta app and here is some conclusions:

-Clearaudio works ok

-Equalizator works but the difference is really really low and sometimes doesnt even change until reboot. (sometimes long after the change is done)

-Massive massive battery drain, about 2 hours listening on max volume and dropped from 100% to 15%... Went even over screens usage wich is always most using

-Volume is still verry low compared to Kitkat

-Still cannot change tags, or i can and it changes them on the app but not on the file itself. So when i copy my music away or update, ill lose them.

-clicking on widget when playing music takes me to home, not to the song currently playing. Not a bug but really annoying imo

-cannot Fast forward or Rewind with widgets slider anymore. used to be able by holding the widget

-Sometimes closes app even when listening, seems like when android makes room for RAM

-Sometimes audio goes really low and sounds really distorted, does not go back until reboot... seems like its just walkman since calls and notifications sound normal ! i dont listen music with any other apps but i try when it happens again !
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
For me, battery is very good these days even after i update the music.

Personally wouldnt fix music info with walkman, it never change the tag for real but just try to remember the tag inside the app itself (Maybe the most stupid thing of the app)

I'd fix all music tag before it get inside my phone :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ing005:
Already installed Music updated , loudness seems to be improved.

But it won't effect with PowerAmp, how can I do with that ?

Ps. Normally, are you guys enable MusicFX in PowerAmp ?
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
Disabling NuPlayer from Developer option back to old Awesomeplayer helped with my battery drain ! no difference on audio i think... seems i need to restart media app to it to take effect, cannot change it on fly ! tried googling them but no one seems to have clear idea what they do, some codecs improvements and mostly video and streaming stuff, what i do less than music... i listen music all the time ! NuPlayer is just new and buggy and Awesomeplayer is old but stable... keep looking !
[Xperia Z1 General] DorianX:
Is not disabled by default?
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
strangely its not, its experimental but still enabled by default.

Now, some WM5 questions. So what gives? So far I see a RAM Disk. What else? There's no SD backup in xplode's default ROM. No "caller ID" which T-Mobile used to ask me to install after each hard reset. Why would I cook the ROM if I can install things afterwards?
