softbricked z3c - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi!
first off all thank you all for contributing to this forum, you guys really rule!
i have a problem....
as the title say i softbricked my z3 compact trying to flash MM on it.
i forgot to click the "allow unknown sources" on the phone before he procedure
i know, i`m stupid. my bad
but now when i tried to flash even stock kitkat on it the flashtool errors in one moment sayin "for flashtool unknown sources has to be enabled"
going thru the forum i saw a thread about the usb debugging mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778437
he fixed it with using an older version of flashtool, but when i install an older version it asks to connect by pressing the back button not the volume down to enable flashing mode...
so i have 2 questions...
is there a way to flash without having the unknown sources on?
i installed the adb all-in-one but not successful to implement the command using the terminal
how to enable flashmode by using an older version when i dont have a back button? (its not arc s )

1. You don't need unknown sources enabled to flash
2. To flash hold down the volume down button while plugging your phone into the computer

Do you have the the Sony drivers installed?
Did you install the ADB drivers (run the exe in the drivers folder within Flashtool folder). If you have Windows 10 this last step is difficult, you have to restart the machine in safe mode and disable driver signature checking.
You must have your phone turned off completely before you start (power button and volume up till you get three vibrations), leave it unplugged from the PC
Start flashtool and select which ftf you want to use, Exclude TA, press build. wait for the invitation from flashtool to plug your phone in. Then hold the volume down as you insert the usb plug, you can let go as soon as it starts doing something
There is a guide to the flashtool here, beware it's a powerful tool capable of bricking your phone

you don't need to turn on unknown sources. pull out the battery, put it in, don't turn on the phone, in flashtool click on flash-> choose the file you want to flash, pc will tell you that you need to hold back button and conect the phone. do it

-If u want, unlocked bootloader and flash alfs kernel v5. don forget to flash update file in cwm
Thanks but I can´t connect phone in SEUS. When it show me how to connect it I do it. But then my device manager shows that i connect Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change for USB Mass Storage Device and there is error that device can´t turn on

There may be a simple solution,as you said it stops booting after flashing GDX.did you try a full wipe after flashing the rom?did you flashed it with CWM or xRec?
It stops before GDX and I flashed it with xRecovery. Still nothing, i still have only SE logo.....
You must install GingerDX with CWM Recovery. Only v013 and older can be installed with xRecovery
But how if I can´t instal CWM now?
You must reinstall stock firmware with FlashTool, SEUS or PC Companion first

I know, I already tried it. Flashtool want Unknown sources and Debugging on, but I can´t turn it on because I can´t turn on phone. SEUS can´t find my phone, in Device manager X8 looks like Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change to USB Mass Storage Device. And there is error because the device can´t be turned on. I tried it also through PCC. I tried repair it. But it can´t download software and I don´t know why.
FlashTool don't need Unknown sources and USB debugging to be turned on. It is only info what you need to do after flashing when phone boots up.
Do you have flash drivers installed?
Try to turn off your antivirus if you have it installed.
Can you try reinstall it on another computer?
I posted log from Flashtool here before.Here it is once again.....

XPERIA X8 boot problem

I installed ICS on my XPERIA X8 and it freezes at boot. And I cannot go to recovery mode, where is my backup. I know I need to use FlashTool but I don't know how to use it, because it says:

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.

Thank you! You saved my phone's life!
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?

I've tried ICS for stock kernel, but it isn't boot! But i want to try it!
Dude... just flash a stock SE rom via Flashtool and its done
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium
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.
EDIT: Update your FlashTool Version!!!! http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

do you have unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

enable usb debugging, and try again.
if it didnt work out, use another computer.
pretty much sure that your bootloader is not unlocked.
"First of all I had GingerDX. Then I open recovery selected system/ and etc. all format, also full wipe. Then my phone turning on and only show Sony Ericsson. "
it gets stuck at sony logo because you formatted the system.. there is no rom to boot

X8 flashing problems
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Now you will be able to comfortably restart your phone and you can install custom roms from here!!!!!
Don't forget to say THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another kernel was installed with no errors. Why CM not install, but JB install?

[SOLVED] Z3 Compact Bricked after flashing a wrong firmware

Hi guys, I'm currently having problems with my z3c. All happened by accidentally flashing the wrong firmware. After all the wrong flashing now my phone won't turn on nor it will go to "flashmode" using the sidekey method. Only way to get in the phone is by doing "Fastboot" method! Is there anyway i can fix this brick by flashing a stock firmware using fastboot method?
Thanks!
Have you tried holding power, volume up and volume down all together then release all except volume down and connect to the PC (that is ready to flash with flashmode)? Which rom did you try to flash? Normaly you should also be able to enter flashmode.
How do you try to enter flashmode?:
"Power off the Xperia phone and then press and hold Volume Down button while creating the connection between the phone and the computer."
fastboot is only ment for AOSP roms like cyanogenmod other sonys opensource stuff which all require a unlocked bootloader.

Yeah man, i tried everything. Up down and power. I flashed the incorrect firmware for my Z3C, then after the reboot it didn't turn on. it's weird i can't even get into flashmode using the down key and power. Whenever i try the power button it gives 3 vibrates then doesn't turn on at all. Is it fully hard bricked or will i be able to fix this?
Wait, I solved the flashmode. I can access the flashmode now. But theres a problem, I can't flash a firmware using flashtools because my USB-debugging is off and i cannot access my phone to turn it on. Is there anyway i can flash a firmware without usb-debugging? I got all the working adb drivers & etc.... just my debugging is off
Have you tried downgrading/flashing to stock fw 23. 0.A.293 (Device D5803) and then you can root from there.

I can't flash anything, because of USB Debugging off, Flashtool will only allow you to flash if your Debugging is on, and i can't turn on my usb debugging as my phone is bricked.
I need help to find a way to flash the stock firmware!

OK my bad....its just, this tut doesnt say anything about needing usb debugging active on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 and when I got my Z3C I had to downgrade in order to root and definitely didnt active usb debugging for that.

Those are the steps i'm exactly doing, but it gives me an error saying "You must turn on USB Debugging" etc...
What version of flashtools did you use if it didn't ask you for debugging?

Cant remember if I have upgraded but my present verison is 0.9.18.5 dated 2015-02-14 which is around the time I got my phone....but can see in the tut they are using 0.9.10.2 if that helps.
And if you look at #5 in tut it says: INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
0.9.10.2beta6 I've installed that version, i hope it works but doubt it.

I'm trying to flash 23.4.A.0.546 lollipop but with latest flashboot version needs debugging on so I've downloaded and installed 0.9.10.2beta6 but when I try to flash the rom it says "please connect device in flashmode", If I disconnect the phone and then connect it again it will say "device disconnected" and then "device connected in flashmode" but nothing happens... Did you do anything in particular to bypass debugging mode needed problem?

It is possible your device is powered on but the screen is not working (I remember this from the Z1 root procees that required flashing a wrong firmware).
Try to force power down your phone first (press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds) without the usb cable and reenter flashmode by holding volume down while inserting the usb cable.

Did you install the drivers from flashtool ? For windows 8-10 you have to boot with disable driver verification or something similar. You can find a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rs-windows-t2638680/post50100353#post50100353

Can't get XZ1 Compact into flashboot mode.

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?
"26/011/2017 13:11:56 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

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.

What didn't work? According to the Flashtool change log support for the XZ1 compact was added in version 0.9.24.3.
