Hi all, I'm new here and very much a novice when it comes to phones, operating systems etc so excuse me for the noob question and complete lack of knowledge...
My Xperia T developed a microphone fault whereby nobody could hear me when I called them (incredibly faint). I had the phone repaired at a local repair shop. Almost immediately upon receiving the phone back it developed a (What appears to be very common) battery fault, whereby it would reach 80% then shut down, restart, shut down, restart......
So, before returning it to the shop for further repairs I attempted a repair using the sony software. Half way through this repair the phone shut down!!! PC lost communication and I was left with a phone that simply displayed the 'Sony' start-up logo.
I have now returned to the shop and they have installed a new battery but are unable to get communication with the phone via the sony software (so basically they dont appear to be getting any further than me!). They are saying it is beyond repair - but I find that hard to believe? Surely it is just a software issue?
Can anyone advise what can be done? I am reluctant to write this phone off - surely it can be flashed with a new operating system or whatever needs to be done to what is essentially now a 'dumb' device?
This is the way to fix the software issue, ALL YOU DATA WILL BE LOST. And i'm not responsible for anything might happen to you device . DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Google xperia t .145 ftf file
Google flashtool for xperia
Download them
When you have installed flashtool, go to its folder, install drivers (tick the TX, flashmode and fastboot drivers boxs)
Open flashtool, click the lightning logo, select flashmode
Put the firmware file you've downloaded to the firmware folder in flashtool folder.
Connect the phone in flashmode, hold power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, now hold the vol down, plug your phone in the computer with flashtool running, you will now able to flash the firmware.
Good luck man.

Thankyou very much for your reply!! Thats what I need, a step by step muppets guide!
To be honest I couldn't care less about any data, I'm way past that stage - if I can just have the phone working again I would be a very happy man (I'm fairly desperate as you can probably tell, Im running my business from an ancient, failing HTC desire following weeks of the shop having the sony!). I can't really afford to write off a phone I paid good money for 6 months back so need to have a go myself.
I am collecting the phone today so will give that a go.....
So I had a go at the above - got the flash tool installed (Emma?) etc and managed to get the software to see the phone - unfortunately though I had neglected to mention the phone is locked to a particular network, which Emma politely informs me.
So, I have attempted to follow unlocking instructions as per the sony instructions (on their website):
But I am stuck. I was getting nothing when using the volume down button and connecting. To get the computer to see the phone I have to press and hold the power button, the red led starts blinking 3 times, repeatedly. This causes windows to recognise the phone when plugged in via usb, but I was not being asked for drivers (as per sony step 13). I found the device in device manager and uninstalled drivers in an attempt to force this. Now all that happens is the device appears in the list as 'S1 Boot Load' with a yellow exclamation mark. However I have then tried installing drivers manually from the location where I copied 'android_winusb' to, but this does not work.
To compound the issue I think the battery problem is causing the phone to cycle. when connected the green led lights up for a bit, but then goes off, then back on, then red.....repeatedly. The device only appears in device manager as 'S1 boot load' when green. This gives a very short window to try to do anything.
Wrong flashtool, download the one from the Dev section and flash a stock FTF

Oh right, first mistake then. The phone will still need unlocking first though I assume?

I've been dealing with a similar problem. When connected to a wall charger is your phone cycling from Green to Red and keeps doing that? Also have you installed Sony PC Companion maybe your phone will get recognized from the drivers in that install.
Same problem
Hi, I am currently having the same problem. I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing i'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!
Hi all. I'm a long time Samsung user, and been hanging around the forums for a reasonable amount of time but my wife recently got a Z3 compact and I'm clueless when it comes to them.
Basically I'm looking for a way to manually install a software update, as my phone SP hasn't yet released their version of the update out.
Anyone from the Samsung world - I'm essentially looking for the equivalent of DLing a rom from Samsung Firmwares and using Odin to install it.
Is this possible at all on the Z3 Compact? Any help would be great, as Telstra are terrible for updates.
Of course it´s possible only you need Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/index.php and TFT file(firmware for Z3 Compact) you can check the last release with XperiFirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 or you can check here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706

Cheers guys. Do I need an unlocked bootloader for this? Does that void the warranty? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Sorry for the noob questions, really have no idea how to do this stuff with Sony, just know my i9XX series Samsungs!
Grr I downloaded everything, but I can't get the device to boot into flash mode.
I've installed Sony PC Companion previously, and tried to download a fastboot driver (which is just an inf), then with the phone off, I hold down volume down and plug it in. I see SOMC Flash Device, but the second that I let go of vol down the device reboots into normal mode and I never get the green LED.
The fastboot driver I have is this: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
But when I download that, if I try to update either SOMC Flash Device OR Xperia Z3 Compact drivers with it, but say that the folder has no compatible software driver for my hardware...Any ideas? I can' t believe I'm having so many issues just getting this thing into download/flash mode!
EDIT: Just realised that I was trying to install the fastboot driver, instead of flashmode.
So what do I do to get the phone to stay in Flashmode?
EDIT2: So I've found the driver install in the flashtool director, and ran that, installed the drivers, but still I can't get a green LED...
I can get it into fastboot mode (and the blue LED stays on, PLUS Flashtool detects the phone. Can I flash from fastboot mode?

You don't need to unlock the BL, you only do that when you want to use a different kernel. If you're planning on using a different kernel, please back up your TA partition first (after you're rooted) after that you can unlock the BL.
Backing up your TA-partition makes sure you don't lose your DRM keys. (Losing your DRM keys will void warranty)
No idea about the fastboot driver, I think Flashtool also gives you the option to install the drivers, so I'd say install it through Flashtool.
This is driving me batty!
I can get the phone into fastboot mode, but to flash in fastboot mode, I'd have to flash the .sin files one at a time - which I don't want to do! But I jsut can't get fastboot to recognise the device in flashmode to flast the ftf file whole!!
Are you using Flashtool to install a new FW or something else?
Yeah, to install a new firmware...I ended up doing it in a very unorthodox way...
I noticed when I plugged the phone up holding vol down flashtool would detect the phone to start with, before it either turned off or restarted itself. So I tried to flash the ftf, and said I need to attach the phone in flash mode, so I tried unplugging it, and holding down and plugging it back in, and it started flashing. I had to hold down volume down for the duration of the flash though, as I was scared it was drop out of flash mode mid way through

Enable USB debugging. To do this, spam the build number, after dev options are on, go to them from settings and find USB debugging.
Hi all,
So I got this Sony Xperia SP C5303 from a friend of mine which is stuck on a boot loop (SONY logo => XPERIA logo => Orange logo, then screen dims and reboot )
I tried to flash it with FlashTool but nothing, I downloaded the ftf for it and I have installed all the drivers from the flashtool driver folder but nothing, I always get an error on Flasgtool indicating that I must install the drivers
As I said, the phone cannot be booted and I have never connected it to my computer so there were no previous drivers, so what should I do ? (I have Win 7 btw)

Don't know what you mean by all but the three necessary ones are fast boot, flash mode & viskan board drivers. Use the latest version of Flashtool, install those drivers, prepare the firmware and connect the phone pressing the volume down button.

I do have FlashTool the latest version (0.9.18.6) and what I meant by "all" is that when I run the "FlashTool drivers" that comes with the software, it gives me a checklist of the available drivers, I ticked every single one of those drivers, and they're all installed, but still, FlashTool shows an error that the driver must be installed !

You don't need to install all of them, just the three I mentioned. Could possibly be causing detection issues.
Go download USBDeview and see what you got installed. I'd advise you to remove everything Android and Xperia related and start from scratch to avoid conflicts. If you have installed things properly, you phone should show up as something like this in USBDeview -
Normal mode
Xperia SP - USB Composite Device
Fastboot mode
S1Boot - Fastboot Android ADB Interface or ADB Bootloader Interface or something similar.
Edit : Just as I finished posting, my SP wasn't getting detected in adb. Why? Because I had connected my brother's Xperia ZR and for some reason my phone doesn't like other phones being connection on my machine It was showing up as Linux storage unit or something. Reinstalled drivers via FlashTool and everything's good again. Drivers are finicky things man.

LOL, well I've got a little update
I flashed the phone first with Sony PC Companion, after it finished, I plugged out the phone and started it, it took some while to boot, the screen showed up but it wasn't responsive, after a couple of seconds, it dimmed and it rebooted and now it's back to the same old issue (SONY > XPERIA > Orange > Reboot).
Right afterwards, I flashed it using FlashTool (This time it worked perfectly, which is weird) but still nothing, after finishing the flash and plugging out the phone, it's stuck on the SONY, XPERIA and the colorful waves bootanimation ....
I've no idea what is wrong with this thing now

Well the fact that it's getting there means there isn't anything significantly wrong with it.
Have you tried rebooting it using the off button at the back? Sometimes it does that the first time booting into the ROM. Just press and hold the button for a few seconds with a pen or a toothpick to reboot the device.
You could also boot back into recovery and do a factory reset just to see if it helps the cause.
You can also try different firmware versions. Maybe 4.1.2 instead of 4.3.
BTW is the boot loader unlocked on the phone?

I did try the tiny yellow OFF button in the back several times through the flashing process and whatnot, but nothing .
I tried getting into recovery mode but it just won't it just keeps on doing the same bootloop as before
I dunno if trying a different firmware would help, I highly doubt it but I will try it as I got nothing to lose
I've no idea what that boot loader is but I DID try to unlock it using FlashTool's BLU and I got this in the log "07/029/2015 21:29:05 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked"

You need to press either the volume up or down button a few times when you're booting up to get to the recovery. If you have done it right then after the Sony splash screen you should go into the recovery.
Boot loaders need to be unlocked to be able to flash custom recoveries & ROMs but forget about unlocking the boot loader for now since you do not know what it is and without your phone working there's no way of knowing for sure of it can be done or not.
Like I said try doing a factory reset in the recovery or a different firmware to see if it helps.

Well, I just did some research and I found out that Sony phones do not have a stock recovery mode . . . So there's no recovery mode for me (I did try but nothing)
I'm going to try to unlock the boot loader using SDK and if nothing happens, I'll try to flash it with a different firmware

Oh damn I forgot you had flashed stock firmware...yeah Sony phones ship w/o a recovery. Even if it had one, it wouldn't be much use other than wiping cache & dalvik, factory reset and installing official signed updates. A big reason why people unlock their boot loaders to install a custom recovery.
Before you proceed try to understand as much as you can about what you are doing. Don't go in half cocked and create more problems for yourself. The main problem you face is that you don't have a working system so
a) you don't know whether you bootloader can be unlocked to begin with and
b) even if it can be, you can't take a TA backup to save your warranty cause your phone's not working. If you don't take the backup before the first time you unlock, your warranty's pretty much gone forever.
If you still wanna proceed, check out the link below. Another poster wanted to unlock recently so the thread below contains boot loader unlocking instructions. There are four I have listed. Read carefully before you proceed.

Greetings everyone.I happen to own a Sony Xperia Z1 which I bought around a month back ,carrier locked (Orange France).The stock carrier ROM was much of a wreck,so I decided to try Cyanogenmod ...but alas,turns out my " bootloader unlocking allowed:: no".So I started looking for stock based custom ROM,and flashed DstrikerZ1KaiROM_SP004 based on the latest official android 5xx.and before that I flashed this recovery Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined,everything was going fine until the people on the other side complained that they are unable to properly hear me in conversations,and the microphone sounds muffled.I googled about it and found that although there exists some tuts to adhere to this situation ,the newest firmware was the main culprit...So,tired of all these,at last I decided to flash a stock android 4.4.4 kitkat based rom TrinityVengeanceRaptorXHD_1.3.the ROM looked beautiful and promising in the screenshots.I downloaded it and flashed it.But before flashing I also did one thing I went to wipe>>advanced options in twrp and deleted everything dalvik cache,system,sd card...everything that could be ticked,I intended to do a clean install,after that I flashed the Trinity ROM,the aroma installer asked for necessary inputs and the installation proceeded without incident,then the phone asked to reboot.After reboot the phone wont start up any more.I pressed the power key,I could feel the device vibrating but the screen won't light up.Then I tried pressing the power button and volume down button,the screen lights up for a moment showing the spash screen "SONY >>>>>>>XPERIA" and then turns off.I tried connecting to Androxyde's Flashtool ,the phone is not detected as Sony Xperia Z1 c6903 but rather as a generic device in flash mode ,no button combination needed for this ,like it was the default state,connected through usb to the pc and flashtool detects it as a flashmode device,I also tried tapping the volume up key,and this time it gets connected as a fastboot generic device.I even downloaded the stock sony firmware 14.6.A.1.157 global but flashtool didnot read the ftf.Yeah I did install all the flashtool drivers after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement (win 10 64bit) and drivers installed without issue,but still the phone was not detected,I have minimal adb and fastboot installed,the device gets enlisted as a fastboot device to "fastboot getvar version",but not as a adb device,(I guess because altough USB DEBBUGGING was turned on initially,I deleted everything so it must have been disabled and the new kitkat rom which I installed didnot gave me the chance to boot and use the ROM,the phone never booted after the install.SO,BASICALLY I AM OUT OF OPTIONS AND SOUNDING SOS :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
thanks in advance for reading my long post,
may be you guys can resurrect my phone
really appreciate any help...
I had rooted my device using Kingo Root but root access was useless for me so I Unrooted my device using Kingo Root . It successfully Unrooted my device
then i tried manually deleting using file Explorer
(/system/xbin: daemonsu) & (/system/xbin: supolicy) but could not delete either and this all Started.
After rebooting my device it does not pass the Sony Xperia Logo Screen. it Keeps on looping the Sony Xperia logo.
The following steps I have tried but no success.
1. Removing battery for more than hr
2. Tried to boot in recovery mode(Power + volume down) but it does not get to recovery screen instead it goes to the Logo screen and keep looping.
3. connected to computer but due to looping computer does not detect my device.
4. I have downloaded Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde Flashtool Version 0.9.22.3
I tried connecting mobile using Fastboot mode it is detected by the program.
I tried connecting it using flashmode it is still detected but i dont know what to do with this program.
Is it possible to recover my phone, Any help will be appreciated
counting on you guyz :fingers-crossed:
I'm New to Root N other stuff but have some sound knowledge of using tools/Software.
sorry if I have posted in wrong place and for my bad english. :angel:
Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not I've just had the same problem (C6603) and phone is being restored using Sony Companion software (Google search). While running on pc, switch off phone and connect by USB whilst holding down just the volume down key. Need your Google account details - essential, otherwise risk bricking your phone, and it'll erase everything on the phone and give you latest unrooted Sony software for your phone. Good luck.
