Hello @ all the team!
I have a Xperia Z Ultra (C6802) / Lollipop 5.1.1
It bootloop for 6 days now and does not give me access to Recovery Mode.
The bootloader also seems to be blocked.
I made a mistake:
> With Lucky Patcher I patched the "Google App" to have the Google Assistant
> I installed Xposed 3.1.1 and activated the Lucky Patcher module
Worse, I do not know why,
> I installed "Assistant Enabler" via Xposed
> After configuring it, I activated its module in Xposed and restarted the phone
AND THERE, VLAN !! Hard BOOTLOOP!
To try to correct the problem:
- I've immediately downloaded the latest firmware from my XZ Ultra (C6802) via Xperifirm (14.6.A.1.236), then
- I have flashed my firmware using Flashtool
Unfortunately, nothing does, it continues to bootloop.
Help me please, since last Friday that I galley from morning till late in the night!
Please!
In advance thank you @all those who will help me
Use fastboot mode to flash the custom recovery and then flash your desired custom rom
install flashtool,
vol down + plug in usb , you will enter fastboot ,
flash original sony rom ( pref 5.1.1 select form list )
and you can recover the phone again.

Tried everything to get into recovery mode available in Google but cant get into recovery mode in Xperia z2 d6503 plz help how to get into recovery mode my device is non rooted
The Xperia Z2, and many other Xperia devices, don't have a recovery mode.
In addition to the above post, no model in all Xperia phones with stock recovery menu, it can be installed later after Root device and only then will it be possible to enter the same installed recovery.
Greetings dear xda members,
i've got a sony m4 aqua e2303 from my friend, i cant get out of bootloop, it shows sony logo, then black screen, then sony logo and whole thing repeats forever. It is also getting very hot during this process. i CAN put it into fastboot and flashmode, but when i tried to unlock bootloader by official sony method, it says "remote: command not allowed", but about a week ago when it was working, i checked and it was "bootloader unlock allowed: yes". i know that i must enable oem unlock in dev settings, but i just cant get there since i have a bootloop. flashtool flashing doesnt help, tried 3 different tfts. fastboot works but i cant execute any command.
xperia companion repair doesnt work, "update failed"
any help would be gratly appreciated, thanks in advance
How to get Android 7.1.1 working on E2303 - Update: April 2018
Hi,
i have spent days to finally get my own Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 updated to Android 7.1.1 and it was a pain in the a**. (Android 7.1.1 is in early dev state for the Aqua M4, so e.g. there is no working camera and no working speaker/audio)
Now i write some tips in thread to help others because this thread is the first one the google search found when i looked for E2303 bootloop.
Most time i was stuck in the endless bootloop, too, after i tried to update the 7.1.1. android rom. (Today i have discovered this is because i tried updating from Sony's Android 5.0 stock rom (26.1.A.3.111) to Android 7.1.1, but i have to flash the Sony Android 6.0.1 stock rom first (26.3.A.0.131) prior updating to Android 7.1.1.
After i had the 6.0.1 stock rom installed, i never had the boot loop again. (Expert tip: Prior updating to 6.0.1 stock rom, the sony boot logo was white letters on a black screen, after flashing 6.0.1 stock rom, it's black sony letters on a white background.
Just to mention, the flash of the latest stock rom i have done with the software "Flashtool 0.9.24.4" in so called flashmode.
Expert tip: Always turn on "usb debugging" in developer options
The bootloader of the Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 is locked by default, but Sony have a special developer website where you can generate your personalized unlock code after entering your phone's IMEI number.
I tried unlocking the locked sony bootloader with "fastboot", but no luck (error message was something like command not allowed/unknown remote command). - I also tried unlocking the bootloader with Flashtool, but also no luck at first (some kind of oem error message)
But then i found a hint on some web forum, where was described that i have to create a new folder with my 10-character phone serial number and my personal bootloader unlock code (i get from sony's dev page) in a text file in the path C:\Users\<Your Username>\.flashTool\registeredDevices\<Serial number of your device>\ulcode.txt
So for example i created the folder "YT9114CNHN" under C:\Users\Thomas\.flashTool\registeredDevices\YT9114CNHN\ and there i generated a textfile which is called ulcode.txt and has only my personal unlock code from sony's developers page in it, lets say E8D20BE5BAC1E27C .
With that folder the bootloader unlock with flashtool was no problem at all, and i had an unlocked bootloader. (Just to mention: Do not copy my file paths, your needed file paths will differ)
I also managed to install TWRP in version 3.2.1-0 with "fastboot"-tool. Downloaded a twrp-recovery-image 3.2.1-0 for my Xperia M4 E2303 and flashed it with the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
After that i was able to boot directly to TWRP.
There are also some "keyboard shortcuts" you have to know when working with Sony M4 Aqua:
Fastboot-Mode:
Device has to be powered off. Then press and hold "Volume up" when attaching a usb cable to start fastboot mode. The LED should light up in a blue color. (Drivers for fastboot mode must be installed inside windows, there should be no question marks in device manager)
Flashmode: (whenever you think you have bricked your device you can flash stock rom with flashtool and it comes back to live again)
Device has to be powered off. Then press and hold "Volume down" when attaching a usb cable to start flashmode. The LED should light up in a green color. (Drivers for flashmode must be installed inside windows, , there should be no question marks in device manager)
Boot to recovery (After TWRP was installed)
Device has to be powered off and absolutely NO usb cable should be attached to the phone. Press and hold volume down while you press power button until display comes on. Do not press power any more, but still hold "volume down" until you see TWRP boot screen.
After that is is simple: Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Wipe everything (data, system, cache,) and install the latest 7.1.1 zip, in my case this was tulip-ota-eng.e2303-7.1.1-NOF26V-20170217.zip . After installing cleas dalvik & cache and reboot. - Now Android 7.1.1 should load, but it will take a while, long boot time...
Your integrated chip of your device has been damaged. It is called boot ic. Repair it and flash to latest stock rom. will solve your problem.

sir
1. you did not specify how did you try to update? OTA ? Xperia Companion?
2. and now where are you stuck ? bas Software Flash Error? black screen over White WARNING?
3. or your device is softbrick ?
4. Boot is locked or unlocked?
possible solutions
1. try repair via Xperia Companion , it will flash latest ROM (OREO( [ locked bootloader ONLY]
2. if bootloader is unlocked, you will have to flash your device via flashtool (www.flashtool.net) , click button Xperifirm, select your device from LEFT side and select your country and build on the rightside of the window and download the rom. Once done, close xperifirm and falshtool will AUTOCREATE bundle (FTF) for you. flasht it
MAKE SURE FLASHTOOL is LATEST, drivers are installed ( C\flashtool\drivers )
Hi,
I'm quite new to the world of custom roms and I would appreciate some help to get my z3 tablet working again. I wanted to install this ROM as my Z3 was still running on Lollipop with no update in sight.
I managed to unlock the bootloader following the instructions from Sony's homepage and I was able to flash TWRP using the version provided in the thread linked above. Unfortunately now I can neither boot into recovery nor do anything else with the tablet except start the fastboot mode (solid blue light after holding power up and connecting the power cable).
Is there any whay to start TWRP? Did I use the wrong image? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you for your help!
I used this solution to get out of the very same situation on my SGP611.
If your tablet is soft bricked, stuck at boot, restart display SONY and keep restarting you can do the bellow steps, but after that you will need to root and install TWRP again.
To turn off your tablet which is keep restarting, press and hold POWER and VOLUME UP until the tablet vibrates 3 times and turns off.
On your PC open Sony Xperia Companion, click Software repair, check My device cannot be detected or started, Next, chose Xperia phone or tablet, Next, check I know my Google credentials, wait until instruction are displayed how to connect to your PC.
Make sure your tablet is turned off, press and VOLUME DOWN while connecting the USB cable to PC, when the program starts the next step you can release the VOLUME DOWN.
Now wait and do not disconnect the tablet from PC.
Hi, I used Lightheadeds link and I managed to install the stock rom that way. I also tried luk71s solution but Xperia Companion did not work because my tablet has an unlocked bootloader.
Many thanks, I now have a working tablet again!!!

Since you already unlocked your bootloader it makes sense that you do not have an OEM unlock option. In developer settings you must enable USB debugging and reboot in bootloader mode to flash twrp. What happens if you send the command 'fastboot devices'?
Thanks for replying my Sos.I did not have the unlock oem optoon before unlocking the bootloader. When I write adb devices the computer sees it in normal mode but does see the tablet in fastboot mode.

I checked my tablet and it has no OEM unlock option either, so maybe it is simply not implemented. This means you should be able to unlock.
To see your tablet in fastboot mode you must install the correct drivers on your PC. For me the easiest way was to install Flashtool from www.flashtool.net. It has an option to install drivers and it is also useful if you want to go back to stock. You may also want to backup your TA partition if you consider returning back to a pristine state.

You may have to disable driver signature verification: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Also close Sony Companion and Flashtool if you run the fastboot commands.

If you are here, you already know that you have to unlock your Developper mode, Allow Debbuging mode, Allow mock locations, Go to de security option and allow Unkown sources.
1 Installed Kingroot 4.50 (Install it even if Google says it may be dangerous)
2 Ran Kingroot 4.50 IT IS NOT the latest but it worked for me on Android Lollipop. (I had tried the lastests versions of Kingroot, Kingoroot, and other it did not work on Marshmallow and it did not work for me)
It did not work the first time. SO i tried a second time as proposed and it then worked.
2 bis I rebooted verified with a root checker afterwards: Rooted Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
3 Then downloaded Root checker, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Official TWRP,SuperSU,Busy Box
4 Once rooted, I removed purify that came with Kingroot and other bloatwares and Installed the above apps. You don't have to do it but that is what I did.
As from here, you choose what you want to do. You are FREE to debloat and install what you want.
I will like to thank all the developpers on this site and thoses who a have showed my ways to find a solution. It is not always clear. But atleast they have tried.
So I am transmitting my experience for others.

yeah, stupid me.. my finger is faster than my brain
the tablet is not responding by pressing power button, so I can't start adb devices nor detected by my laptop
so, what should I do?
if it's hard brick, is there any way to flash using jtag?
Is recovery mode or bootloader working?

It works now,.. yeeeayy
recovery mode is still active, so I use Sony Mobile Flasher tool from the thread and flash the FTF again.. and now working back. Thanks @ze7zez for the hint.
Anyhow, I have second Z2 tablet when I connect to Sony Mobile Flasher, it hangs on "Reading device information". What I did so far:
- Install (all) complete driver from Flashtool-drivers
- try different USB cable
- try different USB ports
- when I try to flash with EMMA, it can't be detected
any thought? Thanks..
