Hello and good day.
i hope i can find here some help.

SHORT FACTS AT THE END OF THE POST

my phone went to bootloop after i applyed a backup i made with titanium backup.
sadly, i also restored all system files and my phone went to bootloop when i restarted.

xperia v lt25i with fastboot installed and the bootloader is unlocked.
so as much as i know connecting it to the pc pressing the volume button down the green light goes on and it should be the fastboot mode.
pressing the volume button up and the light goes blue should be the bootloader.

the problem is the phone only stays for 2 secounds in this mode and then going into the battery load mode.
this leaves not much time to install the device drivers on the PC (windows vista)
i managed to install the fastboot driver and now the phone stays +30 secounds in fastboot mode and switches then into the battery mode.

if i try to install the bootloader drivers for the device, he tryes but aborts the install saying "wrong parameter".
during the install he switches from the bootloader into the battery mode.

i installed the android sdk, flashtool(sony mobile flasher), universal adb driver, sony update service,sony pc companion.

sony updateservice says the OS is modified and refuses to update.
the sony pc companion repair function only seems to work with a started phone.
also i somehow manage to get the update/repair function started but it suddenly closes when it downloads/prepares the operation.

connected with active bootloop to the pc he finds the LT25i and wants to install the drivers "sony sa0106 ADB driver interface" but aborts with the reason "wrong parameter"
I had this too before i puted my phone into bootloop.
seems normal coz sony pc companion needs to install the drivers on its own.

when i go into the fastboot mode and open the sony mobile flasher, select in the fastboot toolbox to check the current device status he isnt doing anything.

in the android sdk using the fasstboot tool over the console he shows nothing when giving the "fastboot devices" command.
with "fastboot update" or "fastboot continue" he says "waiting for device" but gets stuck in it.

please if you have any advice what i can do or try or even a solution on my problem let me know.
i would be very happy to solve this problem.

-----
iam a total noob when it comes to programing but 4 days ago i succesfully repaired the phone with a broken touch-lcd screen.
so if a possible solution requires a hardware mod-hack i have good experiance with even soldering smd components with a solder-needle.

LONG SHORT :
bootloop
Bootloader driver doesnt install on the PC.
Fastboot seems to give no response to commands.(in the windows device manager the device is installed as "SEMC flash device")


EDIT:Still trying to get the driver for the flashmode installed with the error "wrong parameter".
may seems to be a windows problem, maybe caused by old driver garbage but i have no solutuion.

How do i get the phone operational again?


Thank you for your time.

First download Flashtool it has required drivers installed. To use Sony Update Service and PC Companion you need to relock bootloader. Forget about hardware hack

i deleted some drivers and reinstalled flashtool and the flashtool driverpack.
the s1bootloader or fastboot is now listed in the devicemanager as SEMC flashdevice.
flashtool recognizes the phone in flashmode but gets disconnected after +-40 secounds and then reconnects.
strangely....he now is performing the flash operation.
reading and writing data to the phone or at least trying to do the operation.
the phone is now connected without battery and is off.
no lights on and the screen is dark.
i will wait for the operation to complet.
is this normal??
is it flashing now? or can i abort the operation?

I'm not sure what you have done but this is the correct procedure:
- First of all copy downloaded ftf file to folder c:\Program Files (x86)\Flashtool\firmwares\
- Start flashtool without phone connected to PC.
- Click on thunder icon.
- Choose Flashmode in given list.
- In next window (Firmware selector) choose ftf file you copied to firmware folder, tick to wipe all given options (APPSLOG, CACHE, DATA) and tick 'No final verification.
- Click on Flash and wait for files to be prepared.
- When dialog box appear connect your phone (powered off) to USB cable holding volume down.
- Green led with appear for moment and then it will go off.
- Wait for the process to be finished.

yes yes :)

he goes into flashmode and so on but after +- 40 secounds he automaticly exits the flashmode the sony sign appears on the screen and the green lamp goes off then starting again in flashmode.

so he periodicaly disconnects the phone and reconnects.
it doesnt matter if i touch the phone or not, so it isnt a broken cable problem.

Sony update service says the device contains modified data for which no update is available.

is there a tool with which i can read the phone operations?
during the flash operation when the phone is off it suddenly switches back on, as i said showing the sony logo on the screen.



interessting after the last try to flash he now stays in the flashmode and now for over 5 mins.
i tried again but he stoped showing this :

You probably broke something from system files.

One more question, is your bootloader unlocked?

EDIT:
Ok, I red the first post again, it is unlocked, you have to relock it first for SUS and PCC to work.

-.- SUS isnt working.....it aborts after 3 mins and my phone is broken again -.-




i have no compleat idea how i fixed it in the first place.

i deinstalled the drivers via device manager and reinstalled them, used the latest flashtool version and tried a few different ftf files.
it seems important to use the ones which are for your region, the newest 4.1 android version and the 4.3 version are around 700mb big.
the one that worked is a older 4.1 version and only 500mb big.
the 500mb version worked for me although even with locked bootloader the over the air update funktion didnt worked.
i think it has something to do with the windows version and the usb port you are using to flash.
iam using windows vista which is a quite bit buggy installation.
the usb ports seem to have usb 1 drivers installed, sometimes randomly i get a bluescreen so its not really a system you want to use for flashing.

maybe my system has a problem with the system RAM causing bluescreens.
i think it would answer why i get a "block verification failed" error when flashing via flashtool one of the 700mb big ftf´s.

so if possible try to use a different PC.
i read somewhere on the net , if flashing aborts you should reinstall your PC and try again.

i had a previous error where the PC refused to install the appropriate drivers required to flash my phone.
driver install aborted with the error "wrong parameter" which seems to is caused by "driver refuse", old driver data which interfere.
i have no idea how i fixed this, went to bed and the next day it just worked.

make sure you have nothing running in the background that could interfere.
Comodo internet security and virus scanner may interfere.
also always start flashtool in admin mode, dont connect to a USB-hub.

just try and try again.
enable the debug log in flashtool and read at what point he aborts.

i will try now to repair mine again -.-
again rebooting all the time....thanks SUS^^





Thank you for your help guys :)

-.- SUS isnt working.....it aborts after 3 mins and my phone is broken again -.-




i have no compleat idea how i fixed it in the first place.

i deinstalled the drivers via device manager and reinstalled them, used the latest flashtool version and tried a few different ftf files.
it seems important to use the ones which are for your region, the newest 4.1 android version and the 4.3 version are around 700mb big.
the one that worked is a older 4.1 version and only 500mb big.
the 500mb version worked for me although even with locked bootloader the over the air update funktion didnt worked.
i think it has something to do with the windows version and the usb port you are using to flash.
iam using windows vista which is a quite bit buggy installation.
the usb ports seem to have usb 1 drivers installed, sometimes randomly i get a bluescreen so its not really a system you want to use for flashing.

maybe my system has a problem with the system RAM causing bluescreens.
i think it would answer why i get a "block verification failed" error when flashing via flashtool one of the 700mb big ftf´s.

so if possible try to use a different PC.
i read somewhere on the net , if flashing aborts you should reinstall your PC and try again.

i had a previous error where the PC refused to install the appropriate drivers required to flash my phone.
driver install aborted with the error "wrong parameter" which seems to is caused by "driver refuse", old driver data which interfere.

flashtool brings its own drivers it needs.
in the flashtool folder is one called drivers, you can install them from there.

the new 4.3 ftf just aborted and even the 4.1 ftf which worked before.
so i think its trail and error and pray that it works the next time^^
-.- and again .....
