Hi evryone.
I was trying to install cyanogenmod on my phone, but after getting the root acess, when i tried to to install it, it said that there was some kind of problem because the nightly rom i had on my Sd wasnt the right one for my model.
I wanted to place the links for the cyanogenmod rom i downloaded and the tutorial i followed to install it, but since this is my first post, XDA doesnt allow me to place any outside links.
Now whenever i boot my phone it stops on the Sony experia screen and it doens do anything else. No other menus. Just the Sony screen. The only command it receives is the Power and Vol up to turn it down again.
Please, is there any solution? Is my phone 100% bricked? Is there anyway to connect it to the pc and place the Xperia original files/rom manually??
I sent an email to sony even tough i know my warranty is voided. I have had some other problems with their assistence so i dont expect much help.
I just cant afford another selfphone and my mother´ll be super mad if i tell her i bricked it.
Thank you.

This is becoming common
It is only a soft brick DO NOT WORRY - I have also done this, and seems most common with older versions of TWRP
Download flashtool and download a .ftf file from HERE (anyone will do they are all the same)
now open up flashtool and it will tell you to move files from *folder* to *.flashtool folder* also place the .ftf file in the new folder
now click the lightning symbol - flashmode
click the firmware you downloaded
and click flash
now on your device hold down the POWER + VOLUME buttons until the device vibrates 3 times (this will turn it off)
hold the VOLUME DOWN ( & nothing else - make sure the phone is off for this) while holding vol down, plug the phone into the computer. You should see the led turn red then green/blue
flashtool will now see the device in flashmode and flash the firmware (when the firmware has been read by flashtool)

I am now downloading the files. Thank you so much for your help.
I think it is important to mention that I have formatted the internal storage. and wiped the data and user cache. The error message saying it wasnt the right rom appeard after e formatted it. Is this still a soft brick? :/

Yep, from experience I don't think it is actually possible to hard brick the Z3C (I might be wrong)
If the device still reboots when the volume buttons are pressed, your phone is recoverable <--- Soft Brick
If the device is on a black screen and it won't reboot, the phone is not recoverable <--- Hard Brick

I think important and useful steps and tutorials like these should be gathered in a FAQ thread and be sticked. All frequent problems and solutions are all over the place and we need such tutorials an solutions in an easy accesible place.
I think I really hard-bricked my Z3C... flashed a recovery with TWRP, which got a custom theme with extra features (able to flash .img files) made by @z31s1g. Now my device won't reboot nor enter flash mode or fastboot mode - just red LED is blinking when connecting to USB, screen is black (no Sony logo or anything). When trying to boot it vibrates one time, but doesn't do anything...
Any chance to get it working again without sending it to Sony?
Edit:
Sony sent me a new phone, did not have to pay anything, as it seems they couldn't repair it and weren't even able to recognize that my TA was deleted... So got it as a warranty "repair".
What?!?! Ive been reading it all wrong, i can get a new phone for making a problem, as they dont care about their own faults
btw how did you brick it? just curious for developement

Same thing happened to me. I downloaded an older version of flashtool (0.9.18.6) because I couldn't get the newer versions to work and I flashed a stock kitkat rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706 (Specifically the "23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - USA (1289-7524)" version - make sure you get the right version for your model). With this process, you don't need to turn your phone on. Just make sure you know how to use flashtool correctly.
That's all I did. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Did it complain about not being able to find drivers for your device? That's what it says when I plug my Z3c in. And I've attempted to install drivers using the drivers tool in flashtool/drivers/.

I created an account to say that this method works. However, using flashtool (using windows 10) can create a small problem because on mine (at least at the start) the drivers would not load. The workout involves going to advanced startup and getting windows to boot without driver signing. I'm sure that you can download something that permanently disables it, also. Using that, I was able to install every driver without a problem. Just be sure to reboot normally or you might run into issues when flashing (I was unable to flash properly until I restarted).

Thanks! This worked! Any idea on how to avoid getting stuck in this loop while rooting the phone?
Hi Guys,
Unfortunately, I think I'm closer to the subject title: HardBricked
My compact Z3 is completely bricked ... due to severe, numerous & disorganized flash.
- No boot at all: backlight but no display.
- No more access to fastboot or TWRP recovery
- FlashTool and its flashmode seem to work: I manage to block / unblock the bootloader,
- But flashing does not work.
I'm under Gnu/Linux, but I'Ve tried with Win7 (drivers Ok) with the same result.
Here is FlashTool log:

Hi
Can someone suggest a way fwd, I have an z3c I was trying to press back into life with an OS new enough for messenger etc.
I was following the instructions from LinageOS 16, got thru unlocking and into fastboot, all going as described until it said sideload the package. When I did this the UI on the phone said the package was for z3c and that my phone was a ".".
Part of the linageos instructions were to wipe parts of memory and cache, which I think is why when I reboot the phone now, it just sticks on the logo, I cannot get back to the fastboot UI either.
Using the flashtool on my PC I can still connect and load the stock fw but it makes no difference.
I did backup a couple of sections, with TWRP, I thought to the sdcard, before I started, but I cannot see them on the card now, could they be hidden?
Or have I done the impossible and really bricked a z3c?

Hot to connect the phone?
With " Press and hold back button then plug in the usb cable"?
Now I can flash it but it isn't reboot just say device disconnected, then device connected in flash mode, then device disconnected, then flashing aborted
nearly the same problem here trying to unlock the bootloader on my E15i.
Would appreciate if anyone has a suggestion how to overcome this.Thanks
Try this

IF you have stock ROM for X8, you can flash with flash tool..
the first, hold volume down in your phone and plug usb kabel to computer..
see your phone have green light, its flash mode.. )
and then go to flash tool, and all its works..
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

What?! First of all - not volume down but BACK button.
In flashtool directory You will have drivers folder. Install those drivers. Then reboot Your PC. Copy Your firmware package into firmwares in flashtool directory (.ftf files). Than run flashtool, click on flash, choose the package, click ok, flashtool will aks You to connect Your phone in flash mode. Plug USB cable into PC. Plug in USB cable into phone and while doing this You must hold back button. And flashtool should recognize Your device and start flashing.

I'm trying GingerDX now, and I making an ''XPERIA X8 MEGAPACK''
Anyway, I do not know why this is:
When I first installed gingerDX i have installed many apps. And when I'll removed this backup, and I installed this rom again, the phone freezes at the boot screen.
(I know how to do it. I flashed the stock rom from my backup, and It is working. But I cannot make a backup from this rom
Because You should do a full wipe When You install ROM again there are some files from old one. And this may cause boot problem
Hi, I've tried this but it doesn't work. My phone just keeps rebooting itself after SE logo animation is done. What can i do?

Generally speaking, bootloops imply you are missing the x15 Baseband required for custom ROMs to work: Follow the mediafire link in B.Jay's profile and find the x15 Baseband corresponding to your X8 version (It's in the sticker under the battery)... Hope this helps.

as I said in the other thread, turn on usb debugging
if you cant do anything and powering on or connecting your phone to computer or charging it just makes the red led blink, it means its hard bricked. you may need to use test point
but if you dont have baseband and your device runs, try to flash a new modem(i dont know if its available for z1 or not)
and as i see you were trying to flash a much old ftf ... after 4.3 , flashing older than them will make the modem not work.so if you can get in to flash mode try to flash a newer frameware

Open Flash Tools, select FTF and wait till it says connect your phone. Now hold down volume and plug in USB to PC
If continued, be happy
If not, unplug fully, and then again hold down volume, and then a bit plug in, like image in the link below
Sorry for bad explanation

Next time do not be so fast and lazy to read instructions provided by developer of the thing you have flashed. Being fast and thinking wrong and fast sometimes produce fatal thing to the your phone. I am sure you will be no lazy next time and I am sure you will be very careful in operations with your next phone
Whats happening when you press and hold for about 5 secconds power + volumeup button? If you see vibration than you are not in hard brick! If there is no vibration but your phone flashing red all time than its hard brick! If not hard brick you can enter into fastboot mode: disconnect usb cable, press and hold power+volume up until you see vibration, than hold volume up button and in same time connect usb cable. After than you must see blue led! If no blue led than probably try to replace usb drivers by installing sony pc companion, reboot computer after that! Allso make sure comuter device manager detect your phone propertly! After that try again all steps. If this not help and you have red light all time than probably your phone is dead! Hope this help.
Hello,
my z1 broke the screen, i send to the store and got a new screen, but now, the phone dont turn on.
if the phone is not connected to the charger or usb, the phone wont do nothing.
i allready try

Sucess for us all! and have a good day all!
I think you're not flashing the correct file, and that's why you are getting that error message in Flashtool:
Go to this thread and download a C6943 14.3.A.0.757 firmware and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Honestly, I don't think it has anything to do with the software, since the phone doesn't even boot into OS. But you can always try flashing the firmware first. If it still doesn't work, you'll have to send it back to the store.

It must have been with your computer. I suggest to first try on another computer. If it fails, let us try the "dummy" fix first. Re-flash stock rom (preserving data) through Flashtool. Or have you tried that?

Thankyou for your suggesstion
I tried with couple of other computers and different USB cables. I'm sure the problem is with the Android 4.3 which is disabling the USB during boot process because I can charge the phone after poweroff. It fails to charge when powered ON.
IS there a way to enable USBdevices from Android by taking a terminal session(running commands). I found one thread to just put an entry in /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationData to enable USB. I tried this and Permission is denied due to lack of root.
Is there a way to take temporary root without bootloader unlock. Please help

Well let's us do the dummy fix first. That may restore the original functionality of your phone. Follow this guide here:
You'll need Flashtool and a proper drivers installation. Follow these steps
This should be easy to recover. The prerequisites are a stock ROM ftf and Flashtool
Install flashtool
Move the stock ftf into "firmwares" folder within Flashtool's install directory (default C:\Flashtool\firmwares)
Execute the drivers installer located within "drivers" folder inside Flashtool's install directory (default C:\Flashtool\drivers)
Tick "flashmode drivers", "fastboot drivers" and lastly scroll down a little bit, find "Common drivers for Viskan board" and tick that as well. Finish the installation
Open flashtool. Make sure you ran it as an administrator to avoid conflicts.
Hit the lightning icon
Choose flashmode
Choose the firmware you have downloaded
Under the WIPE section, untick DATA if you want to preserve data
Continue. This is ask you to connect your XSP in flashmode. To do so, make sure your phone is turned off completely, hold volume rocker down and connect it to your computer. Once the LED bar lights green, you may release the volume rocker.
Flashing process will run. It is important not to interrupt the process!
Once complete, remove the cable from your phone and turn it on. You have your phone back.

Before flashing my XSP, want to check it.
My phone runs 12.1.A.1.207_China version. Is it possible to downgrade to 12.1.A.1.205_INDIA ?
Please advice.

Just leave them by default. DRM keys are well baked into the TA partition.
By default the given partions are NOT excluded.
I'am afraid that TA partion will get over written if not excluded
Am I right ?

When the flashtool requests to plug the USB cable with vol down, I plugged the cable, GREEN light came. But Windows notification is "USB Device Not Recognised". Flashtool also not sensing the phone. :crying:
I cancelled it manually after there is no activity found in Flashtool for 7min.

Thanks for your suggesstions !!!
I installed USB Host controller from google play to check the USB....
It says...
S3C USB host driver not found !!!
USB root HUB itself not available.
Is this an hardware issue ?
When pressing volume up and plugging in the phone I get "26/025/2017 13:25:15 - INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode", but when doing volume down, all I get in the flashtool program is "26/011/2017 13:11:56 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
26/011/2017 13:11:56 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode", so I can't install any of the ftf files downloaded using flashtool. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try enabling USB debugging.
Settings > About phone > Tap multiple times on Build number until Developer options is enabled
Settings > Developer options > USB debugging > Toggle ON

1] Flashtool doesn't work with the XZ1c. So stop trying to use it.
- Use newflasher instead.
- Newflasher doesn't use FTF files. It uses the files directly as downloaded by XperiFirm
- READ the newflasher instructions.
2] To put the phone in bootloader mode, you have to:
- Turn it off.
- Hold Vol-
- Plug phone into computer.
- In that order.
3] All of this information is available by searching the XZ1c forums. So I suggest you do a lot more reading before trying to flash your phone, because otherwise you're guaranteed to break something.
Old thread is old but for everyone they have the same issues like me right now it is very important!
FLASHTOOL DOESN'T WORK AT ALL FOR XZ1 COMPACT!
Fun thing this post is the ONLY ONE they mention this AT ALL. To say "You have to do a lot more reading" is wrong because i never heard this before in this clear state. Mostly thje devs or vet are "recommend" one of both.
Like the also very important information that Device decryption IS ON BY DEFAULT NOW and it is written in the code by GOOGLE. So aside to compile your very own ROM there is no easy way to get around these pesky "No write permission for Apps" issues on the Phones SD Card.
