I use Docomo SO02E version, rooted, and install firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 (not Japan firmware version),
It ran well.
But I just did a stupid thing.
I flashed Kernel and BaseBand from 10.3.1.A.2.67
Now my phone keeping said "process system is not responding ...", and keep rebooting.
I want use flashtool to flash new firmware. But it didn't recognize the phone, even when I hold VOL-down and plug USB.
Can somebody help me !!!!
Anf fastboot mode? Vol up and usb
thank you for your reply.
I can put it into fastboot mode.
but I don't know how to use fastboot mode.
(my phone is locked BL)
Sorta had the same thing happen to me. I just started the flash tool up and chose the Rom I wanted, then when it was waiting for me to plug in the phone I just held down volume. Button while it was rebooting and it took.
Had to try a few times but it worked.
I used to face the same problem. I solved it by entering fastboot mode and flash from there.
@bynoud
Do you need help or ist it working now?
Sorry for my late.
I still need help (I just backed from office)
I try many ways below:
1) plug USB before flashtool ask, then when it ask, press many time down-vol
2) plug USB before flashtool ask, then when it ask,
press up-vol+power to reboot, when screen go black quickly release power button and press down-vol
none of them work .... :crying:

Thank you for your information.
but I don't know how to flash ROM from fastboot mode (sorry for my noob)...
My phone is locked BL.
And when I tried to flash kernel.sin, it said error "command is not allowed..." (or something like that)
PS: I'm sorry for inconvenience it may cause.
It's seem I'm in very different time zone. So I can not read you guys reply quickly
Which kernel you tryed? You have to try a stock kernel. I will be in 2 hours home, maybe I can give a look to the flashtool again..
Where you live
I tried with kernel from D1.343 (original firmware of SO02E) and 10.3.1.A.0.244
both were failed.

Hey guys,
seams like there went something wrong when trying to install latest cynagen Mod to my Xperia T - Now it is blak screen, is not recognized by flashtools or fastboot (so i cannot flash anything else). The LED is also not doing anything at all. The only thing that "works" is if i keep the power button pressed longer for 10 sec, my phone vibrates and shows the Sony logo - nothing else.
What i did: I opened the bootloader (which seemed to work, bootet the device afterwards and everything was ok), then i followed this instruction to install cynagen mod: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mint
After Step 5 (Open a terminal on the PC and enter the following:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
While the device reboots, press the Volume rockers a few times to load recovery. )
the phone was dead. So i think there was something wrong with flashing the boot.img, but i see no way how to "undo" this, becuase of no tool will see my phone on the pc...
I really appreciate any help! Thanks, Simon

Maybe your battery is dead. Keep the power button pressed with a rubber band while it charges (wall charger) for a few hours. Then try to put it in fastboot mode and flash a kernel/boot.img with Flashtools, which is a lot simpler and less prone to typo errors than doing it yourself in a terminal/command line.
Also, you might rather look up tutorials here in XDA instead of on the CM site; they generally tend to be a lot easier to understand and even more practical.
If the phone displays the Sony logo then there's nothing wrong with the battery probably.
Use Flashtool to install a stock FTF is the first thing to do. CM requires an unlocked bootloader, I'm assuming you have a locked bootloader.

Last CM kernels are buggy.
Try with an older kernel, that you can pick from here (our device is MINT): http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/
Hello guys,
Today I am encountering a very weird issue. I was on CM12 nightly on my xperia z1 and I decided to check the official Sony firmware since I was curious. I downloaded the official update from Sony PC companion and flashed the files with flashboot. After the "android is upgrading" window with all the apps being updated the device suddenly reboots. I thought okay it might be normal but it is now stuck on that procedure. It attempts to boot goes through the logos and in the animation but restarts again.
I tried booting into recovery to wipe data cache etc. but turns out the device is unable to boot into recovery and instead it attempts to boot normally.
Afterwards I attempted going into fastboot and flashmode and the device just shows the charging screen. Not even the notification light reacts accordingly to the mode I am trying to boot into.
I also tried adb but it didn't find the device.
All help is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who has any idea on how to resolve this issue.
Use flashtool to reflash your system.

What's wrong with people these days? Did you even read what the OP posted? If you did (even if you just read the title) you were able to see that he is NOT able to boot into flash mode rendering flashtool useless in this case!

How come he can see boot logo but cant enter flashmode!? I think he did it the wrong way to enter flashmode.

flash mode and fastboot mode cant recognize the phone but still can boot in to sony logo?
it werd did you try it with another PC or USB cabble? and full charged z1 before try all method again, maybe problem is your phone out of battery.
try some some official repair as sony companion or Sony update service.
we cant do anything if both of flash mode and fastboot mode not work.
Hi, I have P10 VTRL09 .. A couple days ago i did relock bootloader and now i can not enter my phone.it stuck at Error mode.
I tried almost every method but it always comes back to error mode. I discharge the batterry and charge, if I am lucky, sometimes it will boot into the system but it will black out. I can not do anything except turn off, but while it was in this stage, i could connect to pc and get detected. pc try to install MTP driver but it also failed. I tried command in adb, it also failed (waiting for devices) ....
Issues :
1.boot loader locked
2.no recovery ( can not be load )
3.can not enter fastboot
4.can not force update
5.PC not detect
Question : Is there a way to make my phone go to fastboot ? so i can relock bootloader with adb and flash new firmware.
i appreciate all the help...please help me.
I have exactly the same issue. With identical error codes. Still trying to work out a solution.
on the Huawei website, the had a bootloader.img installer for older models but none for the p10/ p10 plus
Any advice would be appreciated
Let phone completely discharge even it power off automatically. Then put the phone on the charging it will boot up to system then go to settings >advanced settings>back up&reset> reset all settings
when it boot i cant see anything except black . i can only turn off or volume.
Connect with pc and press power and vol-
It should boot into fastboot. You got the error cause wrong or broken recovery.

3-what is your model number L09CxxxBxxx?
I have sam problem last 3 days and i cannot solwed

Hi, I was having the same problem. Mate 8 EMUI 8.
After looking everywhere and trying all the options available, I wasnt able to resolve.
Finally, I tried FunkyHuawei and got my system back through eRecovery.
Gave them the readings like version no. , build no...etc through fastboot. The required info is on their site. They then reverted with a link of the firmware which I flashed through their FuHunbrick tool. It force updates the entire full last version.
After flashing and booting, the system didnt boot but was able to go to eRecovery and restored my previous version.
If you or anyone else stuck at this error, they can try at their own risk as they dont guarantee anything.
Edit: you should and will be able to boot into fastboot once the battery is totally down and phone shuts off completely. Just press volume down button and insert usb. Try again and again if it doesnt work first time.
Thanks.

First sorry for my English
I have a similar issue:
Huawei P10 Lite
I managed to install TWRP, but when I did that I lost the OTA upgrades, then I tried to install the stock recovery and then the phone doesn't start. It just stay on the first screen (the one with the Huawei logo) and it gets hot as hell. The combination of keys doesn't work, the power key just reboot and gets back to the logo screen. I need your help guys, the phone is 3 month old. Thanks

Hi, let the phone battery dry out totally first. Totally. It should not vibrate at all when you press power button. Leave for a couple of hours more.
Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Hi. I did the battery part and the part of the pressing the vol - is and connecting to pc. It started but didn't got into fastboot or bootloader, just turned on normally and then I ran the adb command "adb reboot recovery" and I had to do the battery part again. I am afraid to run "adb reboot bootloader" because the risks of the draining out the battery. I mean my phone does not enter into recovery.
I have been blundering my way though the internet to get my ROG Phone 2 rooted. I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a modified boot image from magisk, I have the ADB connection set up through USB and it works fantastically. I honestly don't know how I got it work, it involved many different driver update attempts and then figuring out I hadn't put the phone into USB debugging, but now fastboot doesn't work.
ADB will list the device, but fastboot cannot see it. I have tried rebooting the phone into the bootloader, but there is no connection on either. Not sure why I thought that would work, but I tried. I really don't understand enough about fastboot to get any farther on my own.
I have the tencent version and I was pretty certain I have the CN android 9.0 on it, but I am no longer certain of that. I am running windows 10.
This is my build number: PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0622.1906.19-0
I honestly don't know, but does that WW mean my tencent phone is running the WW firmware?

Fun fact, I just got Fastboot access from my computer by using the side USB port and rebooting into the bootloader from ADB. Still not to sure about the version bit. I think I'm just going to give it whirl and brick my device, maybe.

1. You are running a WW rom, but that doesn't necessarily mean your fingerprint is matched. To update you need to have both WW rom and WW fingerprint. You can check if your fingerprint is CN or WW using device info hw from playstore under 'system'
2. In order to root you need to have a matching root boot img for your current rom ie root img for 1906.19, just checking that your know this?
3. Have you managed to get the phone recognised using the cmd 'fastboot devices'? Also are you using the side port?
4.when you say bootloader, have you definitely got the phone in fastboot mode - hold vol up and power button until you see the screen with some options. That screen is fastboot mode, you don't need to select any further options. Once in that mode, connect to pc, open adb and run the fastboot devices cmd. Once your device is recognised, report back here for further steps

Thanks for the reply! I did indeed get fastboot to work over USB. Fastboot devices reported back the serial number and everything. I did not know that the build need to match on both the boot and the rom, but that does make sense and I probably should have realized that before I went ahead and copied the rooted boot.img I had over. Then my phone couldn't boot up proper, and got stuck in fastboot. Then I went ahead and copied all of the contents of the same rom over and now it is literally just a black screen. Won't turn on any more. I think I super bricked it.
Sorry I didn't see your post earlier and I know I am not father into the deep end, but is there a way out from where I am.

Nope. The only response I can get out of it now is when I plug it into the fastboot port, the computer recognizes that something was plugged in. I don't even get a device on a device manager.

Try holding the power button for around 20 secs until it shuts down. Then try vol up and power together and see if you get back to fastboot. If that doesn't work try vol up vol down and power buttons all together. Then try again to put it in fastboot mode using vol up and power. Let us know what happens /if you can reach fastboot mode

Is there any sort of illumination to the black screen ie do you think the phone is on but the screen is black or do think the phone is completely off?
Holding power button for a while should switch it off after a while. Try holding for longer than 20 secs, then try booting into fastboot mode

Well, It's been untouched for a day now, and it still will not react to input. No response from long hold on the power button. I will try again in the morning. Is it possible that I somehow wrote into the BIOS of the phone? Android does use a BIOS, right?

Android itself does not have a BIOS, since Android is an OS and BIOS is more similar to firmware. But yes, the phone does have firmware, and it could be that the mismatch in firmware versions (from which you tried to flash), has caused the bootloader to "not know what to do now" when trying to start the phone up.
One thing which comes with all phones with a Qualcomm chipset is something called Qualcomm Crashdump Mode. You can try to see if you can get your phone in EDL (emergency download) mode and restore the correct firmware in that way:
https://www.the***********.com/rog-phone-2-unbrick-guide (URL gets censored for some reason; it should be "the custom droid" with no spaces)
Also, if you continue to have driver issues with connecting the phone to your PC, are you able to test another PC or even a Mac if you have access to one? I find Windows can be a giant pain for getting ADB and fastboot to work properly at times.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Ok, so here's where I am: I have left the phone unplugged for a long time now. Really had no effect. I just downloaded QPST and I can actually get my computer to see the phone. However, I am still not quite sure how to USE QPST and not make things worse. So this is my plan: I am going to look through the forums here for info on how to use QPST to get my phone working again. Not really sure what that will look like, but fastboot would be a good start. From there, it sounds like I have to get the original firmware back on it, and then go about the process of rooting once again.
Still leaves me with the issue that started me down the path of rooting this phone, but at least it will not longer be bricked.

You may not HAVE to flash complete firmware, it is quite likely that the boot.img is causing the problem as you flashed an incompatible version. Below you'll flash the correct version which HOPEFULLY will fix your phone, provided you can get into fastboot mode now.
Haven't read back through all the thread so i can't recall all the details of where you're at. As far as i can tell you're still running WW 16.0622.1906.19-0, correct? Can you get the device to now boot into fastboot mode? (from a powered off state, press and hold vol up and power at the same time. You should then be presented with some options, DON'T select any option. With that menu screen open is fastboot mode.
1. Download and install ADB Fastboot from here to C: drive of your pc/laptop.
2. With your phone in fastboot mode (as detailed above) connect it to pc/laptop using the side port of the phone.
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and double click the cmd-here.exe, this will open a cmd window.
4. Type 'fastboot devices' to check that it's recognised, there should be a serial/key shown after entering that cmd.
5. Provided the serial/key is shown in fastboot mode, download the following boot.img (which is for WW 1906.19) from here.
6. Copy that boot img to the same folder you have open for ADB (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
7. In the cmd window type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.
Now, that boot img is the STOCK boot img for your rom version. Don't worry about rooting for now (if i recall correctly, your phone won't boot to system), let's just try to get the phone booting first. Providing there are no errors when flashing the boot img, on the phone fastboot menu, scroll through and choose 'restart'.
Let me know if the device boots to system now... Good luck
I'll pm you my email address so you'll be able to get hold of me if you get stuck at any stage...
EDIT: was forgetting you tried so many times to get into fastboot mode, without success.

Dude, is your phone screen still black but switched on? When you tap the screen does it vibrate. I'm thinking you might already be in edl mode (which could be a good thing). Let us know
Check your pm's dude for further info. I can't post links to the site required so have sent via pm

Android itself does not have a BIOS, since Android is an OS and BIOS is more similar to firmware. But yes, the phone does have firmware, and it could be that the mismatch in firmware versions (from which you tried to flash), has caused the bootloader to "not know what to do now" when trying to start the phone up.
One thing which comes with all phones with a Qualcomm chipset is something called Qualcomm Crashdump Mode. You can try to see if you can get your phone in EDL (emergency download) mode and restore the correct firmware in that way:

Also, if you continue to have driver issues with connecting the phone to your PC, are you able to test another PC or even a Mac if you have access to one? I find Windows can be a giant pain for getting ADB and fastboot to work properly at times.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Just dropping you a quick note to say thanks for thanks! LOL. Yeah, your post earlier seems like the best place to go. Have used Miflash Tool a few times on Xiaomi devices, it's pretty good and straight forward. Should be a LOT easier than using QPST and having to change EMMC to UFS.
Can't remember where i saw it now, but i'm sure i read that if the phone screen is black (but switched on) and vibrates, then it's likely to be in EDL mode already. Which will hopefully be good news for @RichDoe252. Before that (having never been in that situation), i wasn't aware that an all black screen could mean EDL mode is active. Fingers crossed for Rich it'll all work out just fine.
@RichDoe252 If all goes successfully using the QPST file download (and using the Miflash Tool the guide mentions in the pm i sent you) and flashing, DON'T ROOT JUST YET!!!! LOL. Let us know how it goes and then we can look into, and point you in the right direction, for getting you rooted and up to date on latest A9 or A10 whichever you'd prefer
Well I must say Rich, I'm surprised you haven't been back here yet to give any updates on progress!! Sent you a couple of emails through pm... Man, if it was my fairly expensive phone that was in the poo pan, I'd be all over trying to fix it lol

First off, you are a freaking saint. I really do appreciate all the help you have been offering up, and I am sorry I have not been very quick with a response. As my phone currently stands, I get 0% response from anything I do to it. No vibrate, nothing. No indication it even is plugged in. I had it connected to my PC with QPST installed, and it was able to pick up that the phone was there, and then immediately tried to download something to it. Not sure what, not sure why, but that kinda typifiies my interaction with this whole process so far. If you haven't guessed, I'm kinda in over my head.
Back to the problem: QPST started some opperation to download something to it. Wouldn't let me do anything else, said the phone was in "download mode". Either way it stopped at 30% and didn't progress for 30 minutes, so I tried to unplug it and plug it back in. Same interaction. Unable to do anything to the phone, no reaction from the phone what so ever. This was, by the way, plugged into the fastboot side port.
I saw that you PM'ed me, and now I can't find the email notification or the PMs on the site. Forgive me for being unfortunately new at this. I will get back to you bud, and thank you again.
