Xperia 1 Bootloop - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

Xperia 1 goes on boot loop after flashing the ROM.
What happened.
>Flashed Xperia 1 using new flasher.
>Device started and while setup went on boot loop with a message"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Your device will be powered off in 5 seconds."
I tried to repair using Xperia Companion but it won't stay to the Flashmode. It goes on loop with the message.
Used original cable and things.
But the device goes to fastboot mode if I press volume up during plugging.
Flashtool and new flasher cannot since the device won't go to flashmode while volume down and plugging.
What can I do further? Please help.

Does the phone turn on again after it automatically turns off?
What region did you flash btw?

It turns on and off automatically in two of the cases.
1. Connected to the PC.
2. Connected to the charger.
But stays in Fastboot mode connected to PC.

I was getting bootlops after flashing rom (locked bootloader, wanted to change region), using both newflasher and flashtool. In my case the problem was i had to wipe/format reset when flashing with flashtool, otherwise got a bootloop.
Once phone is booting, force a shutdown with volume + and power at the same time, then hold volume - and connect to pc, then use flashtool.

Yes, I tried that way but the problem is it won't stay in Flashmode. It shows that warning and goes to bootloop.
I still can see the light turns green while doing so but cannot hold.

Same with me, recover using pc companion and use good cable..
The problem i have because using bad cable

Thanks!
My phone doesn't stay in flashmode.
It only stay without loop and message in Fastboot mode.
Else would have flashed already!!

Yes my phone always said my phone not trusted..
I tried using newflashe always failed.
But after chae the cable and recovery from pc companion now its work

I agree, it might be PC problem (drivers) or cable definitelly. Try diferent cable and diferent pc, go to someone with PC and try with his cable

Thank you but the thing doesn't work.
I tried on Windows 7 PC ;
Installed Xperia Companion and Xperia one driver and yet again it booted into fastbootmode but not flashmode.
I used USB C-C cable, and then another sony phone cable but it didn't work.
I even tried a short cable of a battery bank.

Thats strange. Can you write in details what you have flashed and what you have skipped? Did you done something with your trim area?

Hi @munjeni
I unluckily flashed new device J8110. It was a new firmware for device named Sphinx or something similar which isn't released yet.
It was to be j9110 actually. I then flashed the firmware through new flasher. I flashed everything. Then device booted and during setup steps it rebooted. Then I knew the device was different.
I tried flashing J 9110 but then the device started showing the mesaage.

Why don't you reflash trought fastboot? Boot an recovery image with fastboot:
fastboot boot recovery.img
you will need to unlock bootloader to be able to do that. Trought recovery and adb to recovery you can do many things e.g. flash an custom rom... etc, just for idea.

I have thought of it but loosing drm keys was reason.

Doesn't matter anyway as you need access to the phone to toggle OEM unlock before unlocking bootloader

So..
What should I be doing?

But do you have choice? Did you tried?
fastboot erase userdata
Usedata sometimes cause boot loop and message on screen about corruption. Another thing which I curently thinking about, is your battery charged? Maybe empty battery don't allow you to get into flash mode.

I'm not sure. It was more than 50% when I did everything.
Not sure now.
Will it charge in fastboot mode?

I don't own device to be able to tell you. Seems you are not only one who have problem with flashmode, here https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/xperia-z3v-general/bricked-sony-z3v-access-fastboot-t3510214 . Did you tried to erase userdata trought fastboot? I'm believing you will need to unlock bootloader first because you have no choice with locked bootloader because everything you try going to give you "command not allowed". Unlock bootloader, install an recovery, trought recovery you can reflash broken things, e.g. reguest from somebody with same device to give you raw partitions dump (excluding trim area, system, data, cache) and use DD command to reflash it on your phone, remember do not touch trim area, its on first partition! Good luck!

That link is 3 years old....
Without access to the phone there will be no access to the OEM unlock. Without that I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked.
It's hard to properly brick a sony phone with flashmode. With previous ones a different PC with different cables etc has worked

[Q] CM9 problem Bricked phone (no response at all)

Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?

[Q] Dead after unlock.

Hi
I unlocked my daughter's Ray with wotanserver and it worked fine but I think she might have done an OTA update as she got a message to say the the sim was unrecognised and she needed a reset, which she did and then brought the dead phone to me.
It does not boot at all and does not show up on the PC
BUT
It does get to the Sony logo when I plug in the charger or try to fastboot to PC. (Goes into fastboot with Flashtool but led goes red and is not recognise when I try to use ADB command line to use bootloader unlock with fastboot.)
Flashtool, S1tool and SUS all recognise it.
I have reflashed it with both Flashtool and SUS and tried repair with sitool and wotan.
I have tried different methods on the forum but nothing works even though it doesn't seem completely bricked.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks - it was worth a try!
Still no change except the loader has changed from r4A069 to R4A069.
Does this mean the bootloader is now definitely locked and I need to unlock it to get the phone to boot?

Yup ur BL now is locked
sent from my st15i using xda-app
I though I should say that the power button does nothing at all, the phone only boots to Sony logo when connected to PC or the charger is plugged in.
Is it possible the boot loader is corrupted?
Since trying the OTA unbrick, apart from the bootloader being locked, I cannot connect in fastboot.
Having read around it could be that the Trim Area is corrupted but the fixes I have found do not work. When I try to flash a loader (x10 but meant to work on all xperias) I get an error from flashtool saying there is an error reading the loader,sin header..
Any ideas at all would really help.
Could anyone help if I try one step at a time?
First, I want to unlock the bootloader to see if that helps with the bootloop problem.
I cannot enter fastboot anymore to use flashtool or command prompt unlock.
When I connect to flashtool in fastboot, I get the message that the phone is connected without USB debugging and then the LED changes to red (charging) and the device disconnects.
Any ideas please?

Phone stuck on BootLoop with No Recovery/Usb Debug

My phone is stuck on bootloop. I have cyanogenmod 13 installed on my moto g 3rd gen(2015). I can't seem to get into my system recovery either, which is now twrp and it just shows the logo for twrp recovery. I also for some dumb reason disabled my usb debugging mode, so i can't flash my phone either. Help plzz

So, if you turn the phone off and then hold "power" and "volume down" untill it boots, nothing happens?

of course, it goes into bootloader but my PC can't recognize anything. So I can't flash anything. USB Debugging is disabled. If there was a way to force connect that would be great

You don't need USB debugging to use fastboot when your phone is booted into bootloader. What you need there is a fastboot tool and drivers. I'm using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
and if it doesn't install correct drivers for you, you can get them here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
first thing to do is check what fastboot returns after this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it shows your device ID you're good to go
I'd suggest downloading stock firmware first and flashing it before messing with custom recovery. Just remember Motorola often updates bootloader with new firmware so don't flash anything older than you had on your phone before.
Good luck
EDIT: you can also use RSD Lite to flash a new software, it basically automates fastbooting proccess, so theres no risk of misspelling or doing other stuff wrong
EDIT2: firmware is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
also, the OP (lost101) is a great, helpful guy who may give you some advice if you need
Thanks I'll give them a try

M4 (E2303) stuck at Sony Logo - bootloader is not unlockable - Have NO recovery

Hi - have been searching these forums for days now but cant find a solution.
I am OK at flashing etc but am stuck now. Phone is stuck at Sony logo and won't go any further.
Phone is an Xperia M4 (E2303) and the bootloader is locked - have tried unlocking it but get 'Failed - command not allowed' so i'm guessing it is not unlockable!
I can't get into recovery (nothing happens when i try) and cant get into FlashMode either. I plug usb into phone while holding the volume down key. I CAN get into Fastboot mode which seems to work fine and is recognized ok by PC - drivers all installed ok.
Is there a way of flashing an FTF using Fastboot rather than Flashmode? or even installing any recovery. I have 32 and 64-bit Flashtool installed, i have FTF files and i have EMMA.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful - many thanks - ian
With bootloader locker you won't be able to flash anything. I had the same problem.
Desperately, my friend thought it was a good idea to put the phone on the refrigerator for a while.
Surprisingly, in the next day, I turned it on and the cold phone booted normaly and then I was able to set OEM unlock authorization on developer settings and unlocked the bootloader with sony unlock key.
Then I tried to flash a twrp, but I'm stuck back on boot loop again, and fridge didn't help this time.
Power OFF phone, then hold together for at least 30 sec in this order "volume down" + "volume up" + "power button". Then release 3 buttons and try to power on phone with power button. This procedure will revert your phone back to default settings.

Hi there,
Same problem as OP here.
I am trying to revive my wife ex-phone, model 2303 which has been forgotten for two years at least.
Stock rom
No root
Bootloader locked
Stuck at Sony Logo when starting up the phone.
Can boot in FastBoot (blue light) and is detected by PC
Can boot in FlashMode (green light) but PC doesn't detect anything. Nothing appears in Peripherals.
Any advices ?
What can be done in FastBoot mode with a locked bootloader ?

Thank your for your advices.
But in Flashmode the phone does not even appear in computer peripherals manager.
In FastBoot, Sony Emma does not detect phone neither.

Have you tried using an older version of flashtool ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Which version of flashtool would you recommend ?
Would it change anything as the phone is not detected in device manager anyway ?

Ok, I guess that your device is actually in bootloop and don´t booting.
Tutorial that you followed has many steps and don´t need to do all this to just root device and it contains some files like lk.bin that you can´t be sure that should be for your device.
Some users use this file (lk.bin) of an unlocked device and think that flashng in other device then get unlock it but no need, your device can be unlock it just follow some commands in fastboot mode.
Now you can do the next;
Try to flash again your rom stock (I guess that you don´t have a backup), if for some reason your official tool doesn´t work then use only some images like boot, system and userdata with the scatter.txt to flash them through SP Flash Tool.
Here a link to TWRP https://youtu.be/6vj_BY6xJdA, you can root it with supersu v2.78 0r v2.82 and here some files that can be usefull too https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BwJgeCYTpnEHNlg2VUlieHFTYVU&export=download
Update steps that you are following to can assist. What extension has your rom and if it is recogniced for SP Flash Tool. I didn´t ask you if you can enter to fastboot mode and if you can then you can know if your bootloader is unlocked typing fastboot oem info
Most info that you give and some screenie will help to understand better
Unfortunatly, it can not enter to fastboot or recovery mode. Those files in replay didn't work and i dont have a backup. I try to flash recovery.img, system.img and preloader_shine_plus.bin . All done but it still black screen and does not boot. But now it connect to Pc without disconect .
I cant add link or images to my post.

Gmail didn´t warn myself about your post. Did you solve it?
You said that flashed recovery, system and preloader but how, through SPFlashTool?, if yes, are you sure that this tool recogniced your device?
You forgot to flash boot.img too.
Other way to try; flash only preloader.bin and then try flashing boot, system and userdata that are the three most important partitions to can boot.
Like last resort you can do a Format all + flash but only like last.

I´m not sure if you are connecting correctly your device at right time and form to can flash it properly. Every device has more or less a specific way to do it. My last alcatel it was connected just with device power off and after to tap on download, but in other device Blu Dash was connected pressing just vol_up and my last mt6757 Bluboo had to press both vol up and down at time to connect to pc and after to tap on download option. To have sure that is well done increase volume in your pc, you will hear a first sound that is cause pc is recognicing but then you have to hear a second sound that is when SPFlashTool is recognicing device and you will see a red line in down side of the tool window, release button inmediately and let tool to work.
This is a good rom for your device according the author is optimized https://droid1311.blogspot.com/2017/08/alcatel-fl02-aka-flash-plus-2-via.html and this is the link directly if you have troubles with pop-up-adds https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwAGh1drb91SeDZwV1VXbXpjQWM/view
Also you can try with other versions of SP Flash Tool, most stable maybe should be v5,1628 https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool leth me know how you go
If I understant, the status bar has to be red then I will release the mobile button and click download in SPFlashTool.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way with and without pressing any button but no luck . And when it work finishing with error.
SPFlashTool 5.1628:
I try all the way to get that mode but nothing works. So I try to click download button then conect the phone by random buttons and every time i get red color , yellow , green ,purple , yellow (for many times 100%)
then i get this error:

There is a part that is not variable in the way to use this tool, ever you have to tap on download before to connect device and is recommendable too connect cable usb to pc (not yet to device); from here is when the button that you have to press can vary but like I said you before in my last mt6757 (a very similar to yours) works pressing both vol at same time to connect terminal cable to device and now you will see a red line (could be violet-ish)
Try before just flashing only preloader file to recreate some partitions and then do other flash for the other files.
Of course you have to be sure that all drivers are installed correctly cause this tool needs to put your device in download mode (a special level) and also keep it in this state so find VCOM drivers for Alcatel and adb/fastboot installer and try to uninstalling some older drivers that you don´t use and many times we keep in our pcs and for a short data transmission can helo that all the rom move it in same folder where SPFlashTool is allocated.
After updating drivers and trying all the possibilities buttons the red line doesnt appear.

Ok, here there are somethings that we need to know
- First of all don´t forget to charge your battery, after many attempts could consume a lot.
- Your device is recogniced in fastboot mode? mtk has two variables ways to enter to, pressing both vol + pwr till an options menu appear, then you have to select, and the other method most known is vol down+ pwr to go diirectly
- In what android version are you, 6.0?
- What is the exact variant of your device, you can know maybe seeing in the box, this rom is for 5095K version 6.0 MM
- Did you try to flash just preloader, only this file?
If SPFlashTool don´t give signals of recognicing device is probably that your device is not now totally power off, try pressing pwr by 7 seconds, then try to flash again combining both vol with pwr button
Upload some screenshot about the process

Which option mode should appear? Screen is always black (off) all that i have on the phone is the LED.
I try more than 4 different drivers for Alcatel Flash Plus 2 (vcom & cdc) but no sound from SPFlash to prove that it recognise the phone. Sounds just release and keep relrease from Windows 10.

You need to try two different ways to flash files and restore your device.
First method: fastboot mode
You need to get device enter to fastboot in order to flash some files like system, boot and userdata, then there are two main methods to do it:
- Pressing pwr + vol down
- And I mentioned that sometimes work pressing both volume button + pwr and a menu have to appear to can select an option to enter to (fastboot mode), in some devices this method is not working but you have to try several times attempting to.
Second method: SPFlashTool
You have to ever press first of all Download box and connect terminal cable to pc and the buttons thhat you need to press at time to connec cable usb to your device may vary, sometimes vol down, sometimes both vol but never pwr button; if pc recognice then you have to release all buttone an let it pc continue the flash process.
If SPFlashTool recognice device first flash only preloader file and select now lk.bin too. Flash only these two files and after do again a new flash with the rest of the files, Why you need to do this? your partitions are corrupted and you need to restore them with these files in order to can flash all another files.
Before all of this charge your battery, if you have a cover removable then extract it some minutes and put it again.
Also I read that for this model it´s used this tool instead of SPFlash Tool https://androidmtk.com/download-sugar-mtk-sp-flash-tool (inside the zip you will find a password to start the tool) but I´m not sure what kind of rom it needs, you have to connect your device to begin the process, you will find in product models section in the tool this variant for your device "FL02"
Try first the other tool and then this and let me know how you go, mtk devices are almost unbrickeable so it´s just to find the appropriate way to return it to the life.
Hi again!
It was along time,I know . But I tried to know why I can’t return my phone back to life.
I have searched all possible websites for rom of this model and I have formatted my pc and installed win7 with all necessary drivers.
I can’t found any rom for it but now I can flash all the necessary files for boot they flashing and running smoothly but the mobile can’t boot up.
I try to use that app in your replay. It recognizes the device but stuck after that and keep looking for rom without any chance to download it.
I think I have a wrong rom files. I can’t find any other reason but this.
I will write again all information about my phone:
It is called Alcatel Flash Plus 2
I bought it from AliExpress and it came from Indonesia as I remember (not sure)

Yes, so many time
When device is booting, it stays in bootlogo or goes atleast to bootanimation?
I understand that you tried with Sugar tool with no lucky.
Did you try again through SP Flash tool? trying to flash in a first attempt only preloader file and in a second attempt the other files? (try with 2 or 3 versions and see the differences).
Is there some custom development, recovery, roms for your device?
I think that now you are flashing correct rom through fastboot but like you did before bad/wrong flashings your bootloader is refusing to boot to system. Flash through fastboot all the partitions that you can follow the syntax for every one of them by i.e. typing fastboot flash cache cache.img and so on one by one (some of them are unflashable through this method)

Unfortunately, nothing happens. The screen is black no bootlogo appears or anything that shows that device is booting. It is looking like nothing has happened.

Unfortunately no, all that I found are TWRP recovery Roms. I don’t know if I can use them with SPFLASH Tool.

I began lose hope that the mobile could work again. I live in Sweden and no technicians kan help me to fix this issue. I should do it by myself.
If you kan help me to do that step by step. Please write to me what I have to do from the beginning step by step until I reach the end. To be sure I'm doing it by the right way.
Thanks

I´ll tell you some ideas with no any specific order that you can try or see if works.
Really very strange that display stays in black, you told me that flashing files through fastboot is working but doesn´t appear not even bootlogo, connect to pc as it is and see how pc recognices in devices manager and my pc if appears like a determined drive d/e/f so it looks that some bad flashing burn your kernel and this case is similar to when a Samsung device need to use jtag method to revive, if in your country no-one knows about Alcatel devices this could be a similar case to what I´m saying then it could be a clue for a technician. I tell you this cause many time ago when I flashed by error a Samsung s4 and only this method revived my device.
Try this, flash your stock recovery only through SPFlash tool and flash after through Alcatel Download tool your stock rom cause some firmwares need to detect stock recovery first to can flash other partitions.
At this stage don´t you have stock recovery, no? so you can try to format data cause sometimes when bootloader is altered then avoid to boot and formatting data can solve this.
If this recovery twrp is for your device you can try flashing through SPFlash tool, you have to put recovery.img and scatter-txt in a same folder. then if succesfull format data, system, wipe cache and dalvik and maybe later try to port some custom rom would be a way to solve this.
To flash any partition through fastboot this is the syntax, just follow one by one any of the files that are in your rom folder so just follow these, if some of then can´t be flashed don´t worry then it´s not flashable:
fastboot flash boot bot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash lk lk.bin
and so on till the end
...But after try this if you didn´t get boot to recovery and obviously you can´t delete data nor system then delete first the next partitions trough fastboot typing:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
Try all this and let us see how it goes
I have flashed TWRP Rom but it is same , no luck.
On sugar tool I got this message after success flashing via SPFLASH tool.
I tried all possible buttons to connect device to PC on Fastboot mode but the PC cannot send data to my device.
To be in Fastboot mode , the device has to boot while pressing on (PWR & VOL+) but my device can’t boot.

I see that Sugar tool detects your device like rooted and refuses to flash anything, compare imei number which is in the box, I hope that it couldn´t be changed.
Don´t tell me simply no luck, what it says in SPFlash tool when you tried to flash TWRP and I guess that you put scatter-txt and twrp renamed recovery.img simply in the same folder. Just to be clear, to can flash with this tool your device it has to be off not needed fastboot for this. (provide some screenie)
Other combination of keys to enter to fastboot to flash some partitions when something is missing is, try these three ways:
- Pressing only vol down and at same time connecting to charger (connect first one terminal of cable to your device and then to the charger)
- Pressing the three buttons till a menu appears (you must to release inmediately all)
- Pressing vol up + pwr till a menu appears (you must to release pwr button inmediately) then choose fastboot
In the post 4 I provided a link from Google Drive, in this zip there are 8 items;
- From the item 2 use this version of SP Flash tool, put the four files in a folder and flash them
- In the item 3 you will find some scripts for fastboot, maybe they´re working better and also you have here a subfolder with twrp image.
- And if you get sucessfully install twrp in the item 7 there is a backup with some files to restore from this recovery.
Try one by one and update the info, I hope that your motherboard is not damaged.
