[Q] Help !! cannot put my Z into flash mode

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.

**HELP** Flashed TWRP Zip file. Phone reboots into black screen after boot logo.

Cannot get into recovery. Device seems to be bricked.
After Sony logo there is nothing else other than black screen. Please help me recover my device.
Don't Panic, this can easily be recovered. However the data that was inside I'm afraid is gone forever. Maybe it can be recovered maybe not, anyway I'm giving you some easy steps you can follow to recover your device.
1. Download Flashtool
2. Download the Firmware you want to load into the phone. (Search in the forum for .ftf ---make sure it is for Xperia Z --- files or you can download Xperifirm and make them on your own)
3. Once you have the .ftf file ready click on the Flash (Lightning) icon and select the firmware (.ftf) [Mode to flash is FLASHMODE]
4. When the phone is just one second from booting up (I know you are now in a cycle - loop but try as many times until you get it right), with the VOLUME DOWN button pressed connect it into the PC.
5. Wait for flash - About 10-15 min and you are done.
For any questions ask here. Good luck
I recovered my phone via Sony PC companion. Succesfuly managed to flash dual recovery again. Flashed ROM and Gappps.
This time Phone didnt start after reboot. There is not even a sony logo. No reboots at all and now it seems bricked ?
If anyone is reading please help me out.
I tried using Flashtools getting into Fastboot mode (Blue light flashing), but Flashtoool responded saying needs to installl drivers. I did that as well, but now the flashtools wont start at all.
I am trying via pc companion, Its stuck on a step where its asking me to remove my battery.. How do I recover ? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Can you get to the point where the phone lights up the GREEN LED (flash mode) ?
Also what version of windows are you using?

Hi, Flash mode is working for me. I have recovered couple of times using flashtools in flash mode. But fastboot mode is not working for me. It says drivers are missing though I have installed drivers..
I went through tthe threads and could find a workking method to unlock the bootloader. Sony has too many appps which I do not need, I want to get rid of them as it consumes a lot of batttery. Hence a custom Rom with basic stuffs arre the soolution.
If you can help me unlock my BL I'd be thankful
And one more question, does TWRP's Latest version only works for Unlocked BL ?

First, Try to do things in order!!!
You are very messy, first you needed to unbrick the device, now you want to unlock its BL and want to know if you can install TWRP!
Install a stock firmware, make sure you can unlock the phone (by checking in the settings menu)...
And post some info...
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Good for you, for anyone who needs to install fastboot driver on windows 10, when they cannot install they need to disable windows driver signature:

Also for some who is in the same situation please post your solution, it helps the community.

I would like to know if there are custom kernels available for battery saving ? I flashed Zomie kernel and it was repeatedly booting my device into multirom recovery.
Right now I am on mokee, can I use any custom kernel with it ? If yes what ? I couldnt find many custom kernels for the device and what about Roms ? Not many custom Roms as well, only found RR and Mokee. Slim LP does not have a working link and couldnt find other popular roms too for this device.
I never tried new kernels, only thing install Kernel Adiutor and underclock, also change the governor mode.
As for the rom I use the modified stock rom by @androidexpert35, it provides good balance between performance and battery life. For any Rom you should write in their dedicated post. Keep experimenting but do it in a reasonable way and don't try to ask for everything, search and read others. Good luck

xperia Z1 crashed screen,forgotten pattern, and USB debugging OFF !!, HELP please!!

hello,
It's worst scenario I could imagine, My sisters Xperia Z1 dropped on street floor and crashed almost 70% of the screen,
touch is working on the remain area, she left the device for a while, and now she need some contacts, sms, pics from it, she forgot the pattern, and forgot the google mail associated !!.
I tried many ways described in many sites to remove the pattern without removing stored data, but the way ends at USB debugging OFF on the device,
please any one can lead my to how to unlock it ?
and in worst case if we can reset the device totally , how to do that? and can we use some app to recover data?
any help would be so appreciated.
thanks

If she has recovery, you should be able to start recovery and from there you can connect the phone to computer and have access to internal card. If there is no recovery and bootloader is unlocked, fastboot TWRP and do the same. If bootloader is locked, and there is a google account prompt, I doubt you'd be able to get to data. But google the options...
Hello,
I'm Afraid there is no recovery available ,
as I check about fastboot TWRP recovery, it needs first the device to be rooted and "Enabled USB debugging " ; means need the device to be opened and rooted and Enabled USB debugging !.
any idea please ?
unlock bootloader using fastboot mode via flashtool, then fastboot flash twrp.
then boot into recovery and attach your device to pc.
links that might help are below
twrp recovery
how to unlock bootloader
how to flash with adb fastboot
If you don't have anything particulary worth saving on it, then just flash a fresh rom with flashtool.

ok, get this one:
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
it works like a charm. And it has firmware downloader built in.
after unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, you want to delete the file password.key in /data/system/ using this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
then it should be unlocked. good luck.

xaiomi mI5 loop,stuck.

hi friends, i need so much your help!.
I have xaiomi mi5, the operating system of the cellphone has been updated, and then the device has entered the loop.
He can not get up at all.
I've tried to do so far:
FAST BOOT - but even the computer can not read the device despite all the permissions I have approved for the computer.
MIPCSUIT - does not work well because the computer does not recognize the device.
Your help must be smart and good people!
I am also stuck with the same problem.
At least I can get fastboot.
I think if you OK to loose data then just go to recovery mode with Volume up + power button pressed together. And wipe all. This may solve the problem. But I don't want to loose data I am skipping this option.
If any one knows other way to unbrick without full wipe then please let us know.
Thanks
have you unlocked bootloader?
you can try run by fastboot twrp recovery mode.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
after few seconds phone boot to recovery, you can encrypt the phone and copy data.
twrp is here
My bootloader is locked I think.
I tried that command. Didn't boot to twrp.
Any other way.
Anyway Thanks for suggesting.

Hello,
I had similar issue.
To be able to start phone/miui you should remove sim card,
in my case it was connected to connecting to cell network that caused reboot.
Than it will be possible to update phone using WiFi.
For me issue was solved with V9.5.2.0.NAAMIFA update.

You can try
I tried version gemini global images v10.2.2.0. OAAMIXM 2019115 GLOBAL but failed then tried v8.11.22.20181122.000 8.0 GLOBAL but failed then 2 month later i tried with good battery and good on off and main important is version GEMINI GLOBAL IMAGES 6.11.10 _20161110 and version GEMINI GLOBAL IMAGES V7.2.4.0.MAAMIDC 20160129. AND GUESS WHAT SUCCESS. NEVER TRY WITHOUT BATTERY AND WITHOUT EDL POINT. EDL POINT FOR UNLOCKING BOOTLOCK AND DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FLASH FILES WITH GOOD INTERNET WITHOUT INTERUPPT SO FLASH SUCCESS. MY 2 MOTHERBOARD OF MI5 SAVED WITHOUT HARDWARE. HOW TO KNOW SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE....1ST CHECK CHARGING HAPPENING OR NOT IN SWITCH OFF AND CAN IT GO TO FASTBOOT MODE OR RECOVERY MODE. IF ALL THIS GOOD GO FOR FLASH IN SAME PROCESS. OTHERWISE HARDWARE AS STATED THAT RESISTOR ALSO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN BOOTING OR STUCK AT MI LOGO. MOISTURE IN PHONE UNDER IC REQUIRE HEAT WITH PASTE AT HARDWARE LEVEL.
