Failed Flashing

Leo4937 — Wed, 06 May 2015 15:54:58 GMT

Hello,

I used Flashtool to flash my Xperia Z1 to Android 5.0 at 5 percent an error caused the freezing of the program. now my phone just boots to the Sony logo (Sony and Xperia at the bottom, so the symbol changed). but than a black screen appears and it starts the same procedure again.
when i put it to the wallcharger the loading screen appears, flash and fastboot modes are working too. The bootloader is locked !

I would be so happy if someone can help me !

Thanks !

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
