Phone stuck at boot (not seems to be in any loop tho)

Hi, I've followed your guide, my device is the F3111, with the 33.2.A.3.81 software.

Before I've flashed the boot.img and recovery.img from your rootpack, I've unfortunately booted it normally (I didn't knew the encryption was made at this point), I don't remember quite well, but I think it was stuck in a boot loop.

Then I've rebooted it in fastboot mode, successfully flashed the boot.img and recovery.img.

When restarting, I've got stuck in a bootloop (Sony logo, then black screen, then Sony logo again, etc...).

Then I've booted in TWRP (I didn't knew what to do, so I did ****ty things). I've activated the MTP, then I've transfered the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip" to my internal memory (I've transfered the 33.2.A.3.81 firmware .ftf file too), and then (don't ask me why) I've installed it, and rebooted.

And now my phone is stuck at the black "SONY" logo with white background, not blinking, not responding to any keypress.

(EDIT: like, the screen is not even going off, it's been on for an hour and a half now)

(NEW EDIT: I found a way to shut it down, by pressing volume up key + power key)

My computer detects a device when I plug the phone in (but it does not show up in the file manager).

Any idea of what to do?

EDIT: In the device manager, the device showing when I plug in my phone is "Sony so0116".
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Adzetko:
Ok, so, I've managed to re-flash the firmware, I had an error in Flashtool: "ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.", but I continued with fastboot, flashing boot and recovery (again successfully), and now my phone is in a boot loop! Yay! I've launched TWRP but I don't want to mess things up again.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
OK, you can wipe /data in TWRP or flash "userdata" with Flashtool.

I will try to explain the problem: if you have unencrypted the internal memory when following the guide and after you flashed and booted on a stock boot.img the partition is encrypted again, the process can take hours to be done (Xperia screen), the partition is not empty like on first boot "out of the box" that's why it takes a long time. If you break the process by forcing shutdown the partition will be corrupted and the phone will be stuck on init (Sony logo) because "usedata" partition is not mounted.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Adzetko:
So I've wiped the data with TWRP, but my phone is still stuck in a boot loop.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Have you reflashed SuperSu? If I remember you must flash it just after the modified boot because of "dm-verity" security or it will not boot.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Adzetko:
You mean, flash it with TWRP? I've done it, and still in a boot loop. (also, while installing the SuperSU zip, the TWRP log said two errors: "Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)", and same with data.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
When you tried to flash again with Flashtool you checked boxes like on the screenshot (attachment) ?

In Flashtool I have the same error on Windows 10, the pop-up asking for the device appears 1 sec (phone not plugged) and just after I have the same error like you. To have it working I have to plug the phone (flashmode) just before the pop-up appear or I use Windows 7.

If you can successfully flash: just after, boot the phone with all stock, skip the setup wizard, power off, flash modified boot and recovery, boot TWRP, wipe data, flash SuperSU and reboot.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Attachment :)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Adzetko:
Unfortunately the error on Flashtool is the same, yes I'm under Windows 10, but I don't have the problem with the pop-up staying for only 1 second. Here's the log of my Flashtool session: http://pastebin.com/n724rffm

And so I can't boot normally just after the Flashtool flashing. I think the problem comes from the Flashtool flashing.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Did you tried to flash an older firmware or download again? I think it's probably because of Flashtool too, but that's strange the number of people who have problems with it on XA and Ultra :confused:

You can open a dedicated thread to see if others users can help you. Sorry I can't do more for you.

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Lol I think you are joking... Or you never read the official thread for Drm fix before and others related to unlocking BL on Sony devices.

Answer is very simple, your real Drm keys are lost forever with no way to recover them, never.

i think i did install driver correctly

but running fastboot doesnt work, nothing happen, always <waiting for device>

does it need to enable debug and oem?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You think bad, from Wikipedia:

Hardware not working properly

There are many reasons why hardware may not work properly. If Windows recognizes a problem with a device, it is denoted by a black exclamation point (!) on a yellow triangle in the lower right-hand corner of the device's icon.

Full page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] caosugai:
yeah finally find out my prob

so after install so0116 driver, i need to use it to recognise device for adb (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/help-findiing-installin-s1boot-fastboot-t2218143)

root work well now :good::good:

and this is tut I found to custom stock rom, you may try this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYxMRlBrR8)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
I used this rootpack in my XA Ultra (install modified boot and TWRP and SU).This works well but now I would like to flash the stock boot and stock recovery to restore the TA partition. I saved earlier TA partition.

In the modified kernel TA is not restored. Anyone help me find a stock boot.img and fotakernel.img for my Sony Xperia XA Ultra Dual, please.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
As I know you can't backup your TA partition on locked bootloader, your DRM keys are lost forever. You can use the workaround in the guide to "emulate" them. Please read carefully before playing with your phone ;)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] anunknwon:
I cant unlock bootloader. I fixed fastboot driver (driver from developer.sonymobile.com), boot to fastboot mode. but I have message FAILED <remote: command not allowed> whenever I used oem, wipe, flash... only one command work is fastboot devices. anyone have any idea about this ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
No sir, it is not. I backuped TA partition on locked bootloader many times (I have 12 backups,1 in windows and 11 in Linux). When I do restore TA all goes well at the command prompt. But something is wrong, and when I check the status of DRM in the service menu bootloader is unlocked and the DRM keys are not installed. It may be different reasons, may be need to restore the TA on stock kernel, may be I do not correct. I wanted to try different methods and stock kernel including. Sorry for offtop.

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Verify in the hidden "service menu" if your bootloader can be unlocked and don't forget to enable "OEM unlock" in "developer settings".
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
If you can provide us the process to backup TA on locked bootloader you are not off topic. If you backed them after unlock you are fully off topic :) As I know you are the first user who can backup TA on locked bootloader on the XA.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] anunknwon:
Mean root Status: Bootloader unlock allowed? It's says No :( so I can't do anything?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
Yes, I did a backup of the TA on the locked bootloader using Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup . First I do a backup in linux then in windows - creating OK. Then I wanted to restore the TA but failed. In the terminal TA recovery is OK, but in service menu - generic error. I have tried to do in the windows and linux in a terminal emulator on the device under root. Now I want to understand the reason why is not restored TA on my XA and it restored on other devices. On other devices, a different way to TA: /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/TA but on XA: /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/TA (see screens) but I do not think that this is an obstacle. So I want to stock kernel to do experiments.

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Very good news (for the dump)! I can't help you, as said before, for me you are the first user who dumped TA on XA.

EDIT: V2 of the TA backup tool officially supports XA and Ultra!

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
Thanks for good news! I too have news. I restored a backup TA. But I did a backup even the first version of the exploit and the path to recovery different from other devices . The second version has not yet tried to use. Now we can safely rooting devices and then restore phone to factory condition any time.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] AnreJl:
can you tell, how you restored ta, i did a backup with first version too, and i used your guide,

but the same result
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] garikay:
It's simple. The first check on the device so the path to the file TA :

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/ta

This can be done Root explorer. Then copy your backupTA to root folder of device. Then turn off the phone and load the device in the recovery mode and connect to PC. Run command promt from folder ADB and promt:

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/name your copy of backupTA.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/ta

If everything is copied normally it will be like on the screenshot. After that, you need to click on the menu recovery turn off the phone, You can not be loaded into the system !!! You can not do it !!! Start FlashTool and click on the flashing icon, choose your firmware. Do not have to choose different items, especially MiscTA. You can only select items wipe. Then click Flash and when prompted, connect your turn off device. After flashing Disconnect your phone from cable and turn it on. The first boot is long. Make the first phone setup and when making your entry into the myXperia , if you are logged on with an account - I congratulate you. How to check in the service menu, you probably know. Now my friend is doing TWRP able to restore BackupTA. It will be enough just to copy the backupTA file to the phone directory. FlashTool I used 0.9.22.3

[IMG="TA"]http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/5508/GUU5PQ.png[/IMG]

Good luck!

Excuse me! Not someone else's backup restores! This will kill your phone! TA provides information on the serial number of the phone that is not the same as yours, even information when you upgrade or do a factory reset.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershotwalkman:
I'm in 33.2.A.3.81 customized US firmware F3113. I've followed the steps. But after installing SuperSU in TWRP, when I press Reboot System, a Sony logo comes up, and the phone returned to TWRP. Bootloader is unlocked.

Although TWRP says supersu installation was successful, there is a message "failure, aborting" right after the line patching .init.*.rc, fstabs, dm-verity

Anyone can kindly highlight the possible reason?

Also, I am planning to repack kernel using rootkernel (I worked this before on Xperia Z5 and Z5 compact). However, I couldn't find kernel.sin in ftf...
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Read the guide again I think you missed something.

If you need "kernel.sin" you can find it here: C:\Users\YOURSESSION\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads\YOURFIRMWARE

The file is "boot_S1*****.sin"

I need this file too from XA/Ultra dual sim and from XA single sim (3 files) to update all boot.img with last kernel built from sources (for root users). If anyone can send them to me in PM I will update soon, all kernels are ready :)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershotwalkman:
I ve successfully rooted. It seems that the latest firmware can't be rooted. So I used this step :

1. Flash store front firmware

2. Root following the steps.

3. Update to latest firmware. In Flash tool, I excluded boot.img and fotakernel.sin

4. Boot into recovery and flash super su.

The first time it wasn't rooted. So I repeat step 4 second time and finally root was successful.

Now, I want to restore TA key which I have backed up before I unlock the bootloader in order to have full drm functionalities.

I used rootkernel to make DK.ftf key, and I flash the key using flash tool. Flash tool has no error. But when I check security status in the service test menu using *#*#7378423#*#*, it seems that the key is not restored because unknown error is displayed.

May I know how can I restore DRM functions?

I will search for the kernel and update you.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] cybershotwalkman:
Alright, I successfully restored DRM functions using the drm zip from http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672.

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] kalel29:
Hi,well,my question is this:

I've flashed my Xperia X with the .277 firmware in order to root,so i picked up a generic one,to be more specific i have this on my phone right now: F5121_Customized GEL_1302-6571_34.0.A.1.277_R5A

i did'nt noticed it,but now the signal shows LTE,when i had the previous firm it showed 4G,also when i make a phone call the signal changes to H+ or 3G.

So which one is the best? i've searched but i'm still confused,and,yes my operator supports 4G and LTE aswell.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] Wingartz85:
The same

4G and LTE are the same thing, it depends on software, iphones use 4G, samsung uses 4G, my Z3 with Telcel rom used 4G then i flashed to a generic US and LTE was showing.

It is normal that in a call you drop from 4G/LTE to 3G/H/H+
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] kalel29:
thanks,so you are on telcel too?? lol, i've never noticed that it changed from 4g to 3g when i had the previous firmware,only with this "new" one,i just wanna get rid of that horrendous telcel logo at the bootanimation. There has to be a difference,maybe a slightly one? better reception on LTE maybe?

well thanks for the response.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] Wingartz85:
Nope none nein nada, there is no difference in reception, and me too i'm trying to find a rom without the telcel boot animation, and the claro apps,
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] kalel29:
Use the generic one,that firmware its free from the claro apps,also i have to say one thing,i made some tests,in the exact same place,and yes,LTE and 4G are the same,but on 4G i've managed to get 30 mbps on download and 7 mbps on upload. Also i went to the service menu and changed the network to 4G only,and made a phone call,signal does not drop to 3G,but the call can't be connected. That is because over here,whe dont have VoLTE,only VoIP,thats why the signal drops to an inferior network,4G and LTE only works for data.
