how came that "you updated that by pc companion" yet you do not have flashmode ?
anyway, i can't help you more, sorry.
I connected phone to PC (when that was turn on) and pc companion known that and said you can update your phone .so i agreed that and after download required file my phone restarted and i think for moment had go to flashmod (just o think because the LED was blue) and my phone updated .
at the first when i flash file whit s1tool at the end s1tool wrote "skip simlock.ta" i think it's for that .and now i just flash that whit test point and emergency mod but still same problem .
however thank you for your help.(your are good man)
...

add:
and now i restore my TA backup (as you told me) and everything is good simcard work ,fastboot and flashmod work .
again i want to say thank you Mr laser and if you allowed me i want to create new topic in xperia V topic and say it to other people like me, because they wanted it.can i make it ? do you help them?(if they have original TA backup)

to be honest, i'm not understand anything ;)

to fix phone with problem like yours , you need

1. restore security units
2. reflash phone fully ( APP + FSP firmware parts )
3. poweron phone, root phone, restore full trim area backup.

i'm think this is what you had done in the end.

it is not problem to make security units backup from dumped trim area, so if somebody else have such problem, it can be fixed.

ps.
please share DLOAD picture for lt25 phone.

Thank you!!

First i want to thank all of you to share your knowledge with me (us)
i removed the Backcover and flashed the emergency Backup provided in this thread. After the succesfull flashing i got the Xperia Z1 to show the Sony Logo, after some seconds the phone goes bak to black and show the brand logo again. Have anybody a solution for that? I have a TA Backup on my PC.

Thank you so much...

My Phone works again!

Status before:

I flashed a CM ROM over my LB Device. After this the Screen always was black and nothing works. Power ON without any function, no status LED.. When Pulling Power + Volume Buttons the phone vibrates a single time and go off again.

I open the cover with a credit card, removed the battery and bridge the testpoint to GND. After that i flashed the Phone like the first step with the C6603 file. After that the Phone shows the SONY LOGO and stay in a bootloop. I tryed to flash many times the ftf file but i don`t work with flashtool
Version: 0.9.14.0 it always stop the firmware flashing at 25 % without any error.

after few trys i found that the Version 0.9.18.3 is available so i download this version of the flashing tool.

I found the C6603 FLT File FD5503_14.4.A.0.108_GenericDE on a mega upload server and download this.
after that i used the new Version 0.9.18.3 of the flashtool and flashed the new flt file on the phone.
After that the Sony Z1 boots without any issues to the Stock ROM. I used Newroot and Root the Phone again. After that i restore my TA Backup and everything works fine. :victory::laugh::fingers-crossed::highfive::):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

So i have a xperia z ultra that was given to me . I sent it to sony and they call back saying that i need to replace the mainboard as the software is modified(i trying to act dumb). I gave up on repairing it as i can buy a new phone for the price given. The phone was rooted to GPE so i was wondering if this method will work? I am kinda new to this so hope someone can guide me. Thanks

S1Tool for MSM8274

I tried flashing a custom rom (pacman) over stock rom, and bricked my phone.
Its a Z1, C6902, but with MSM8274 chipset. I used your latest S1Tool and get this message

will use Sahara protocol ...
REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"

PROCESSING ...
SERIAL NUMBER : DD90FF01
HARDWARE ID : 04000100E1207B00
PRODUCT DETECTED: "MSM8274 OEM1 fused"
HASH :49109A8016C239CD8F76540FE4D5138C87B2297E49C6B30EC31852330BDDB177
HARDWARE ID 04000100E1207B00 NOT SUPPORTED

Is there any chance you'll enhance this tool for this chipset support please ?
I'm sure many of us are in same boat .....
Any other way to recover ?
Symptoms are same Red LED lights up after 2-3 minutes, on connecting usb cable, and stays ON all time. Device manager reports unknown device normally, but upon testpoint grounding, SEMC flash is reflected.
Please help, much appreciated !!
Regards

Stuck on PROCESSING: tz_S1_Boot_MSM8974

Hello there,

I have a C6806 Xperia Z Ultra, and one day, all applications on the phone started force closing. I turned the phone off and turned it back on, but now, it blinks red three times. I cannot get into fastboot or flash mode. I tried using this method to unbrick the phone, but I am stuck at "PROCESSING: tz_S1_Boot..." with "MINOR ERROR 0017". I am trying to flash the APP file inside the c6806.7z file. Full log is below. Any suggestions?

    THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR HARD BRICKED DEVICES.
    HARD BRICK MEANS NO FLASHMODE AND NO FASTBOOT.
    IN ORDER TO PROCEED DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR DEVICE IS REQUIRED.
    IF YOU HAVE WARRANTY,STOP READING THIS, GO THE SONY SERVICE AND PLAY STUPID.
    AS AFTER OPENING YOUR DEVICE, YOUR WARRANTY IS 100% VOID.
    I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
    YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.


    Let's get started.
    1. Download tools.7z from attachments and pack for your device.
    2. Install ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe
    3. Open the back cover of your device.
    4. Find the test point (See attachments).
    5. Disconnect a battery, connect a usb cable. LED RED will start to blink.
    6. Using the paper clip connect your test point with the GND. I used the metal shield in the middle of the motherboard.
    7. Open the device manager, you should see SEMC Flash Device. If no, you did something wrong.
    8. Disconnect your phone from computer.
    9, Repeat the step 5.
    10.Run the s1tool and select S1 MSM8974 EMERGENCY for the phone type.
    11. Press the flash button, and choice the APP file for your device.
    12. Press testpoint ready and repeat the step 6.
    13. Remove the testpoint and press READY, when program will ask you to do so.
    14. If flash was successful, you may disconnect your phone from usb, connect your battery and try to boot.You may have to charge your battery.
    15. Now you can flash your device normally using software.


    P.S.
    I was not be able to flash on windows 8 64bit, but I flashed without problems on XP.

    I would like to thank:

    the_laser for making the software.


    myevilface from support.setool.net for finding testpoint for c69xx.

    and my poor Z Ultra which I sacrificed trying to find the test point :(
    Actually I finished him when I wanted to fix audio jack.
    Was to happy that my device is fixed and damaged the screen connector :D

    UPDATE:
    Tool for converting TA.img to TA_unbrick.SYN_FILE_SET



    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If I helped you to save money, you can buy me a beer or two, which is cheaper than a new motherboard. :)

    @bejibx:

    i'm assuming that your problem is because you wrote foreign trim area into your phone.
    if your phone have damaged trim area ( format/rewrite trim area partition ) - phone is brick.

    but if not, then using View attachment s1tool.zip

    Maybe stupid question : Do you think with this testpoint mode there is a way of unlocking Bootlader although it is not permitted by the provider?

    Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

    There is option to unlock boot, and it asks to do the testpoint trick, but I did not test it,as mine bootloader is unlocked and screen is dead now. :)

    So who else thinks this thread should be featued on the portal?
    Ive already submitted via the news tip button and pmed @SammiSaysHello since she writes alot of xperia articles.
