[Q] xperia z bricked

[brianmullen8]

Hi, I flashed my phone with beanstalk 4.4 all looked ok but it lost imei and serial number.

I then did a restore to official 4.3 but it didn't restore the imei or serial.

I backed up the TA partition (i know it's too late now) I found where the serial number was located in a hex editor I changed only one of the digits to see if it changed on the phone, I sent the TA.img back to the phone and restarted.

Now it won't turn on. I loaded up flash tools and connected the phone, it goes into flashmode but drops back out after about 2 mins. It gets to the point where it tries to read the phone info but always stops with a header error.

Is there any way to flash the TA.img using flash tools or force flash the phone.

I have tried all combination of buttons to try get flashboot but nothing.

Thanks

If you pushed an edited TA image to your phone, then you have almost certainly hard bricked it.
The bootloader checks the signature of the TA and refuses to boot/enter flashmode or fastboot if it has been tampered with.
If this is what has happened, then there is no way to repair it.

Thanks for quick reply. I will put it on eBay for spares.

dont suppose you have a microsd card 16gb around do ya? seems like youd be a good candidate to test sdcard booting on this device

 

[brianmullen8]

Don't have one but can get one. Anything else I need?

im new to sony and gsm devices, is TA where your imei or personal info for your device is secured? if so then this isnt gunna work out well since if anyone dumps the bootloader files from mmcblk0 for you it would include their TA.img.

Yes, the DRM keys for the device, the IMEI and other device specific items are stored in the TA partition.
There's some discussion in the development section on it. I'll see if I can find it for you.

ah ok, well then that severely limits sdcard booting on this device. basically everyone would need to dump their own "backup" image in case crap goes wrong then :/. with samsung and lg they put the efs and other personal partitions further down so the first 150 or so MB's are just pure bootloaders.

I'm only an interested amateur, so a lot of the discussion goes over my head, but there's a lot of information that you may find useful/interesting in this thread from around page 21 onwards - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234627

thanks for teh link, it rearrims what I feared. so long as everyone dumps their own sdcard backup then they should be fine, but it makes using a universal one like samsung/lg impossible :/

 

[brianmullen8]

I do have a working ta.img if it's any good, I have no idea how to flash it back on the phone. The phone does go into flashmode but gets an error. I will get a log from flastool and post it here.

You can get it back with SAmanager or with the soft given by an XDA member but I don't remember who, I can upload it if you want

I just had a quick look at SA Manager. Unless I'm mistaken, it runs on the phone itself, therefore it won't help if the phone will not boot.

Oh yeah you're right, I forgot he cannot boot anymore. There should be a solution, I'll try to find out and come later

 

[kingvortex]

There is definitely nothing that can be done if the TA has been tampered with.
It was apparently possible to unbrick some older Sony devices, but the methods used do not work on our device.

Did you try to flash with SEUS ? I think you should try this may be it will solve your issue.. I'm not an expert but give it a try

 

[kingvortex]

Hard brick means hard brick.
The TA is part of the chain of trust. The first thing that happens when powering on the device in any mode is the bootloader checks signatures and stops boot if anything has been tampered with. The only way to fix this would be to push the correct TA image to the phone, but it's not possible to get the phone into a state where it's possible to do this.
I haven't been in this situation, but I will be very very surprised if SUS is able to repair his phone.

Yes, may be in the future someone will find a way to restore it, it would be nice, I hope so.

 

[shabbypenguin]

it may be possible, youd have to run some VERY specific commands. youd basically be writing the ta.img to the sdcard then skipping the amount of blocks the ta.img is and going from there for the rest of it. if that were to work and it would sdcard boot then it would boot the older ta.img you backed up and may boot long enough to get to flash mode then so you could then flash a full tft and be back to booting, or even just dd ta.img back on and restore the backup you do have.
