Flash Light stays on until reboot

[fbxperia]

Hello
My flash light does not go off after I turn it on from quick settings or after it is used by camera.
I have tried a number of things including factory reset but unfortunately without luck.
Can anybody help please?

Did you use the inbuilt option from camera or a 3rd party app?

Inbuilt option

So you turn on the flash and if you exit the camera it stays on?

Exactly and the same happens when I turn flash from quick settings

Try to add the flashligt tog shortcut and stop The Light with that

That was one of the first things I tried but it does not shut off the flash

Check if the same occurs in safe mode:

Just tried your suggestion and I thank you for your help but the same occurs even in safe mode.
Booted the z2 in safe mode
Swiped down + quick settings + toggle flash light
Flash on
Toggle flash again
Flash still on
Opened camera + turned off flashlight
Flashlight still on

I hope I can fix this issue

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).
