It already happened to me, you just have to flash again your phone with your computer and it work (for me). :)

Greg is trying to help you mate.
And he's right, there's a time difference and you have to wait for guys to see your thread...

Check do you have latest flashtool
Check do you have correct drivers
Check is your ftf corrupted (download a new one)
, hard restart your device (vol up+power).

Open flashtool and hit start, wait till flashtool prepares fw and ask you to connect device.

Then connect device.

If that won't work, try to download another ftf file...
Maybe you have corrupted ftf and that's causing a problem...

thanks to everyone here who is trying to help me out . but guys, i'm having no flashmode no fast boot mod..i know how to flash a ftf..but this one is different! there is nothing except of a red blinking led.. its hard braked! it will not show anything when i connect to pc. no Power+vol up works. it connect just when you connect the testpiont to GND and some stuff to get connected in emergency mode...

Uff...

Are you sure you restored right/yours TS backup?
I have a friend who restored Z1 TA backup to Z2, this things happen so who knows...

It's really odd if you restored your backup on stock fw and something like that happened..

Now I realized you wrote "I had flashtool problems..."
I thought you have problems in flashtool now, that's why I said try with another ftf or another flashtool version...

If you got that, and you did, while you were flashing ftf....I believe you are, unfortunately, right, this is hard brick.

BTW - which firmware you tried to flash?

you need to be on a stock kernel if you relock the bootloader.

You should have flashed a stock FTF immediately after relocking and before restarting.

The solution is to flash a stock FTF

and you have not done this yet
What is emergency mode?


If there is no response then stick it on charge for 24 hours, do not touch it then try flashing a stock FTF again

please charge it for 24 hours without touching it, then try again

coming back to this thread. Wondered if all was well - ended well or still stuck ?
I tried to install magisk using bridge approach
and ended up with something that will get to just bluelight ( flashboot ?) mode . I am downloading a stock T-Mob FTF. J-FYI this is an operator locked boot loader. I dunno - is it poss to permanently unlock it and install Cust ROM ? I want to :
-- Recover my data from the dead prev . install
--Have a ROM ( stock or custom ) with Magisk installed.

My plan :
-- Flashtool install 4.4 FTF
-- _______________ <----- Need help here. How do I get magisk working ?

Note that AFAIK for locked bootloader , /system is RO
