Xperia E4 Dual bootloop - Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers

Hello, I've tried posting my problem elsewhere on xda without response so I'll give it a try in here. My phone shows the sony logo then reboots infinitely after rooting it and I searched everywhere for a solution but all I could do is get this message on flashtool:
06/056/2015 17:56:00 - INFO - Loader : S1_Root_2f8b - Version : MT6582_15 / Boot version : S1_Boot_MT6582_TC9SP_11 / Bootloader status : ROOTED
06/056/2015 17:56:00 - INFO - Transfer buffer size : 262144
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - You must have the according fsc script to flash this device.
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - Flashing finished.
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
It should be a driver problem but I have already installed adb drivers, specific drivers for e4 from sony website and flashtool, fastboot and jdm drivers from flashtool. I also tried switching usb ports and trying on other computers with the same results, and I'm 100% sure unknown sources and debug mode were checked last time the phone was in working condition.
I tried installing all drivers from flashtool's driver folder as well, still nothing. I dunno if it's relevant but the device is recognized as somc flash device in device manager. I'm using flashtool 0.9.19.0 as I read somewhere it works better for the e4 dual (even if it doesn't for me) and the latest version gives an IO exception error.
Any expert who can help me with the problem?
Edit: Bootloader is unlocked but the problem was the same before unlocking

Is there really no way of fixing my phone? Please help. . .

Anyone?

Can someone enlighten me? Now the battery is dead too... phone won't charge anymore.

too bad i didn't see this thread previously.
hello friend,
I too have the same problem now.
i tried to change the build .prop and ended in bootloop today.
i have a similar message
"16/028/2015 15:28:57 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
16/029/2015 15:29:08 - INFO - Device disconnected

I tried to change the usb debugging settings through adb ,it is not working.
the internal storage and sdcard are not mounting. :crying::crying:
I think we will have to get help from sony support and the thread Xperia E4 Development by LeonXperiaXC
Did you try out the sony pc companion ? it is supposed to work as my device has a locked boot loader . but it is not working either.

Yes I did that, device not supported, and that was even before I unlocked the bootloader.
I gave up fixing it some days ago, seeing that neither sony nor xda helped, and I can't afford a new one for now. Please let me know if you do manage to fix it, as I will check here from time to time, good luck to you.

As i couldn't fix the device,I gave the phone to the service center.they had fixed it .I will be getting the device on moday. :fingers-crossed:
By the way,i found some interesting fact why unbricking didn't work for our E4.
sony pc companion unbricked my previous device xperia E1,it is a snapdragon device.
I think mediatek devices can't be unbricked by sony pc companion and also flashtool by androxyde.
Xperia C cannot be unbricked by the both as well.it is a mtk 6589 device.
Xperia C has an unbrick method using a tool/software called WMshua perfect flash.
https://www.informationlord.com/ultimate-guide-to-fix-bricked-xperia-c/
I didn't try it because i was scared of hard bricking the device.
I think it might work.
plus for chinease mediatek devices there is another tool called spflashtool.
also learn to use the spflashtool .there is a begineers guide at mtkroms.com
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/02/how-...howComment=1447795342637#c6494565355265496004
give it a try.
If you have warranty definitely get it repaired by the service center.
or try the above methods if you have no choice.
I hope you will get your device working as soon as possible. :good::good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Good luck.

how to fix a bricked phone.

How do i rescue my bricked phone!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well the answer lies within this thread.
how do you brick a phone
well, there are many ways you can brick a phone.​1. you install the wrong software
2.you install a 'broken' rom
3. you install a recovery that isnt supported for our phone
4.or you were messing with your bootloader
etc etc... you get the point
how to rescue a bricked x8​1st: If you have done a soft brick then you can boot into xrecovery and restore your latest backup. easy
2:if restoring doesn'twork or you have a hard brick then you should either launch:SEUS (sony ericsson update service) or pc companion. click update and follow the steps.
3:if none of that works then you will have to send it off to se. if you dont get some kind of phone company to fix it then its as useless as a real brick lol or a replica of a phone.
3:you can use a flashtool to fix it as well. if you open flashtool you usally get a number of options such as unlock bootloader etc. there should be an option where you can restore it. (lol i think)
Cheers​i hope it helped. if it did then please do press the thanks button.

Soft Brick is the common brick we get.
Hard Brick is a brick you can only get with messing with the bootloader. There's no complete brick.
Say something about flashtool too.

On the W/X8 and X10 mini/Pro you can get into FLASH MODE by keeping the back button pressed while connecting the TURNED OFF phone by USB.
That being said, you have a NEO which doesn't work that way.
Your phone has "fastboot" - to get there ... turn off the phone, keep the bottom right key pressed and connect the USB cable to the PC.
What you have to do from there on out is either best asked in the RIGHT subforum or through Google research.

Hummm...?
I only replied to benga_mircea's post from today.
Or ... did I miss something? *notsure*
Thank you for your help, but I can't acces flash mode or fastboot mode again, lika I use to, after I connect the batery, push the back button, insert the usb, a few seconds and the "sony ericsson" screen pops up again and stays blocked. I think I've killed my phone
Well, for as long as you see the SONY ERICSSON boot logo - and I'm assuming from the way the X8 works here - the boot loader and kernel are intact; there's just a problem boot-strapping the system ROM (shot system, bad flash).
The real problem is that Fastboot isn't comparable to the Flash Mode of our phones ... it's very different.
In your stead I would try to find out how you can perform a "disaster restore" (like we do with our W/X8 through Flash Mode and Flashtool) by flashing back to stock.
Anyway ... just to repeat it ...
1. You need to TURN OFF your phone and DISCONNECT it from the computer/charger.
2. You insert the USB connector into JUST your phone.
3. You press the bottom/right button (also "Back"?) and keep it pressed while you connect the USB to the computer.
Once the phone connected to the computer as a (wild guess!) "Flash Device" or "Fastboot Device" you need the apropriate tool(s) and Stock ROM image - in case PC Companion refuses to repair your phone.

Thanks! I tried like 50 times, and nothing, the ennoing "sony ericsson" is booting (no sony ericsson logo as usualy, just the writing) I flashed 10 times in the past whith no problem. Now, even when I put it to charge ( wall charge) the phone is turning on showing that stupid "sony ericsson" writting, I cant shut it down from the on\off button. Before killling it, I've instales stock MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_GLOBAL ROM, then I upgraded to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global, then rooted with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, Installed CWM( wiped cache, updated SE tweaked v8.5 Rom) After the restart, the "se" writting started booting. I've pulled out the batery, and begined flashing it with flash tool(no green led).The flashing started and my little brother accidentaly pulled out the Usb cable; that's the whole story! I've tried like 100 times with wotan, flash tool and FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, no result, even if pc companion tells me "phone conected" and gives me further instructions whith the phone being dead, and the flash tool showing me to connect de device... Thank you for all the help, hope there is a solution. sorry for the long post and my bad english...

Whoa... that's what I call a "security vulnerability".
If the flash process got interrupted because your lil bro pulled the USB cable I'm somewhat certain the NAND is messed up pretty good - no wonder you're stuck at the SE boot logo.
If there's no way by which you can get the device back to normal (read: even the guys over in the Neo sub-board are out of ideas/help) I think your best shot would be to send it in to SE for repair if you still got warranty. SE should have other means to resurrect the device and slap it back into shape.
I'm sorry I can't really help you here with this - the Neo is different from the X8 and also different from the way my tablets work.
Thank's for the advice! My waranty is lost, i've unlocked the bootloader. Only if I could enter in flash mode!

Well, on my Samsung, which has Fastboot, I first enter Fastboot and from there I put the device into download mode for flashing (in theory you can compare "Download mode" to the "Flash mode" - in Flash mode the W/X8 awaits a ROM image to be flashed into the NAND, pretty much the same as "Download mode" works).
Since your Neo isn't completely dead (you just have a shot system due to the flash interruption) you only need to find a way how you can re-write the system.
I lack the time to research how the Neo works, but I think there should be a way to get the device going as you can even "resurrect" a W/X8 where you formatted the system partition (by mistake in CWM, for example). However, that's not as bad as interrupting the USB connection but about the same "ooops" to blank the system.
Flash mode not working, fastboot not workingI Tried a lot of programs (wotan, flash tool, fota unbrick tool, octopus, omnius for se, pc companion, se update. Non of them manages to connect to my phone. If only I could connect for 1 sec. I have a backup of TA, but I can flash it. Thanks anyway!

Changed motherboard now no boot logo

Hello,
I am so confused I changed out my xperia play motherboard out due to the lack of touch functionality on two different digitizers. The screen worked fine along with everything except usb data transfer and touch functionality. So I changed the motherboard and confirmed that all ribbons are in locked into place and now no boot logo/ android logo at boot up. The unit vibrates like normal on boot up but no picture on the lcd. The LCD ribbons are plugged in to the motherboard properly. I tired a replacement motherboard and the original with issues and the same situation on both now. Can someone please help. I know this is not a software issue since it was fine prior to switching the motherboards.

Well if its a new motherboard its most likely a software issue..... Where do you expect the motherboard to get the software from? try flashing a ftf file or something because it sounds like a software issue to me
How can I flash with out access to the android os?

The problem is that both motherboards are now doing the same issue, how can I flash if I cant even get my computer to recognize the usb plugged in. The unit charges via usb but wont do data transfer at all. Is there something I'm missing here on the flash that you are referring to. I have flashed both a G1 and a Thunderbolt so I have familiarity doing it but not on a phone that cant access the android os. That Sony software everyone says corrects software issues wont even see my xperia play.
Go to the xplay dev section and one of the pinned threads, flash tool has fast boot and flashing drivers. Dl flash tool and upon install there'll be a drivers-install.exe in the folder you installed it and run it.

It is not a new motherboard but one pulled from a working unit. Both motherboards (my original working one and the replacement) are having the same issue now, no boot logo at all just vibrate at startup. How is this a software issue when the android os has not been flashed nor deleted off my original working motherboard (the android os is not saved to sd). Is there something I'm missing, I'm so confused. I cant get into MSC mode since the andriod os does not boot, so I dont see how flashing will help.

Try to go into flash mode and flash ftf through Flashtool. You have guides in pinned topics. As far as I remember it was in development section.

If I'm right then your phone will work now with no issues just flash kernel for Android 2.3 from the same section using fastboot.

Sorry to necrobump this thread, but I am having a similar problem. I recently replaced the LCD Flex Cable, but now the screen won't display anything. It can turn on, but nothing is shown. I can't even connect the USB so I can at try to access Flashboot/Flashmode to reflash another baseband and kernel.
Can anyone please help? Anything is appreciated.

[Q] Sp flash tool Broom 2005 error

Hi fellas,
I'm trying to flash my mt6573 device because of some mistake i made and my phone is now in a bootloop. I am using Sp flash tool but it gives me the [BROM] Can not pass bootrom start command via usb cable. Does this mean i have to use another cable like serial to usb?. I have attached a screenshot so you can see the details
Thanks

No fastboot, NO flashmod
No solution for dead sony xperia xa
No solution once you bricked your sony xperia xa. The only one solution is to go for motherboard replaced.

The better thing is to explain how to do, you are here to make money or to help people?
I am here for both to earn money and also to help people. Because fixing dead xperia xa is little tricky task which can't be done by beginners it needs some technical knowledge and skills for which I can fix it with very less amount.
Note: This task can't even done by sony service centers they will only tell to replace your motherboard only but I can fix it.

OK, but no black magic in your solution, you used this box:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQMvd4QJWHU/U-1JDyIuYJI/AAAAAAAAAqY/Mmtip3uj51A/s1600/1.png
It supports our XA and Ultra since v1.0.5.0, you can find it for 130 US$, right?
A beginner can do it, you can find some guide and video on the web on how to use this box.
Anyway thank you for proposing a repair service.
You can't use any box to fix complete dead mobile as it was not detected by them (Except Jtag supported) . I didn't any box for do repair with it. My method is via flash-tool only. I had did some customization in ftf file and also had found correct drivers which make to detect dead xa and xa ulta in flashmode by flashtool so we can flash the ftf file.
I have customized ftf file which make the phone to boot up and enter into both modes flash and fast boot.

Currently I don't have any dead xperia xa phone as already I had fixed mine. If I get any sure will make video and post it here.

Very good! You solution is even better (and free). I hope that we will have a guide to help users with bricked device.
Just a question, if boxes can't detect the device with their "special features" and drivers and if normally we need Jtag, why a "simple" ftf firmware and drivers can works? Can you technically explain me how it works? I'm not saying that's a fake or something like this but I'm curious and it can help if we want to play with critical parts of the device like preloader or bootloader.
Let me get some dead xa so I can make video about fixing it and also about installing correct drivers to get it detected in flashmode by flashtool.
Currently I don't have any dead XA..

is this process works on sony xa ultra dual f3216 model...my xa ultra wont get fastboot,flashmode,only red light glow when connecting charger
anyone have a bricked device with red led light can try this method:
1) Run flash tool 0.9.23.2 and do flash firmware regular but don't plug phone to computer.
2) wait for a moment until you see "Wait for flashmode" then hold volume down ( - ) and plug phone to computer. Phone should go to flashmode in this step and process flash firmware.
I have tried 2 times on my device. Only red light at led when connect to charger or computer, on flashmode no fastboot mode, but i did unbricked my device use this method.
PS: You have to run flash tool and do flash firmware before plug phone to computer.

Hello, if your phone cannot be recognized by fastboot you need to turn on oem unlock from dev options and make sure you have the right drivers on your pc and firewall is off.
Try this drivers https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Zy8uoEfFKLbDlYS0lOYlJPd2s/view?usp=drivesdk
Or this

The fastboot method works flawlessly :good:

Just start your computer with 'Disabled driver signature reinforcement'. Then install adb. I guess, your computer is not taking ADB drivers due to it's signature.. So disable driver signature reinforcement and see if the fastboot method works.
Ps- It's just a "might work"- solution!!
