Recovering all data from Xperia Z2 stuck in reboot loop

Hi there.

I updated my phone the other day and it ended up doing reboots with an error message regarding the update process. Before I hand it in for service, I wanted to make a copy of all the contents of the device..

So far, it looks like using some recovery kernel image and ramdisk is the right way to go, using "fastboot boot". What's a good image to use?

It's important that nothing is changed on the phone so I for example void the warranty.

Thanks,

Morten

I'm Not Even Sure What This Is SONY XPERIA Z2 TABLET -VERIZON- POSSIBLE BRICK?

Hey guys, please forgive me for any bad etiquette or lack of information (any information I can provide is available upon request if I leave anything out). I am new to forums in general and especially to XDA, which seems like a good place to get help.

I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet from Craigslist under the assumption it was a fully unlocked tablet not associated to a carrier. Turns out it was a Verizon Z2 tablet. I dislike Verizon with a firey passion and without getting into too many details, I'm fairly certain they won't help me because a) this tablet wasn't purchased through them as a customer and b) Verizon and I have bad history (unauthorized account modification, shady charges, etc.)

So I thought I'd do my best to make the tablet mine since the asshole who sold it to me has ceased all contact and I don't know how to get a hold of him anymore. No receipt and a data-less tablet.

Anyway, I successfully rooted the tablet and began installing apps that I installed for my G4 when I rooted it (SuperSU, Adaway, Greenify, etc.)

Things were going well but I realised I wanted anything that had to do with Verizon removed from the tablet so I was going to flash Cyanogenmod onto it with a guide I found online. Now rooting and installing custom recoveries was familiar territory and I did these flawlessly. It had TWRP and I made a backup of the system -no Nandroid, sadly-and I began the flashing process. The process said it completed without issue and I went to reboot my device. Enter my current situation:

The device, when I attempted to turn it on, all it did was vibrate constantly until I let go of the power button. Attempting to enter recovery mode (green LED, power + vol down) it showed me, instead of TWRP, a very basic recovery mode with basic options. "Continue booting up", "enter safe mode", "system recovery", and "power down". I tried entering safe mode and it just shut back down, I tried doing a system recovery and it shut down. The only time I ever see the "SONY" logo is if I'm entering this mode. I can enter what I assume is "fastboot mode" (power + vol up and plugging the device into a PC). Nothing on the screen but the LED is blue. I am trying to find guides to restore it if I can and it all looks promising but the only things I know how to really do are root and install custom recovery. I know there are PC tools I can use to send commands to it while it's in fastboot, or send commands in general I just don't know where to begin.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I know it was from Verizon, which sucks, and I know the problem most likely occurred with the attempted flashing of Cyanogenmod. I think I read somewhere I might have done something regarding mismatching kernal numbers. I couldn't find a way to unlock the bootloader so I assume that had something to do with it too.

If someone could give me a guide to restore it to at least its stock ROM where I can begin rooting and installing a custom recovery again, that would be great. Even better would be just flashing a ROM on there that doesn't need Verizon or being able to take it to a stage where it's unlocked and the only evidence it was ever with a carrier is the Verizon logo on the back. I'd really hate to think I wasted money on this and now I'm at a dead end because of a mistake I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my mom on her birthday which is coming up soon. So if anyone knows anything, or has a guide where we can at least get the thing bootable again and I'll just try and deal with a rooted locked device, that would be great.

Thanks for considerations,

Xperia Made for Bond Spectre Edition

I started a thread by mistake in The Z5 Premium section for the Spectre Edition in September thinking that would be the Bond phone. I am a Bond fan and collector and have used the previous Bond phones. K800 from Casino Royale, C902 from Quantum of Solace and the Xperia T from Skyfall. Each had lots of Bond content including videos, ringtone, notification tone, wallpapers, themes and boot animations. The Xperia Z5 for Spectre seems to have minimal content with the best extra being the previously leaked theme. The device comes with a key chain in a Spectre box. One static wallpaper and one theme are available through Xperia Lounge. A few widely available videos and the Made for Bond advert are also available. Looks like a fairly weak effort to provide the specialized content as promised and falls well short of the previous Bond extras on the devices mentioned above.

For those of you that have the Spectre Edition, is this all that is available?

Face Unlock in Xperia C5 Ultra, Where is it?

Hi to all,

My device could only have this problem but when I enable the Smart Lock in the trusted agents to gain access to the Face Unlock feature of Android Lollipop, the Face Unlock option is not there.

Here is a screenshot of my smart lock list of features:

Where is the face unlock?

HELP! Bricked Sony Xperia M

Hi

So, I was trying to install CyanogenMod using this guide: (oh darnit, I'm a new user, so I can't post links. Google Install_CM_for_nicki and the first link will likely be the CyanogenMod Wiki page I followed.)

However, as you've probably guessed, this didn't work quite how it should have...

Probably because I forgot to root. I straight out, didn't root my phone. I unlocked the bootloader like it says in the CyanogenMod Wiki, etc etc, and I believe that I did everything correct in terms of Fastboot, etc, but I forgot to root, which means when I try to install the OS from the .zip on the SD Card, it fails. I can't remember the error, but it's something bad, I can remember that.

I wiped it, which worked, but now I can't install anything :eek:

Does anyone have any other ideas? I can provide more details if needed.

Thanks,
Tom.

Xperia SP update problem on XenonHD

Hi. I am having slight problem with my Xperia SP. I have XenonHD version 9-17-2015 and when I check for updates, on the bottom message appears that says "Cannot check for updates. Make sure your device is supported by XenonHD". Any idea why it happens?

I have seen those strange dots on two Xperia Z5 displays already; normal or not?

Greetings, fellow Android users.

This is my first time on this site. The thread title might confuse you, so allow me to elaborate: I have bought two Sony Xperia Z5 phones from Amazon and upon removing the pre-applied screen protectors, I saw those odd-looking dots all over the displays (see picture)

I have no idea what those are, 'cause this is actually my first Sony smartphone, so forgive my lack of knowledge if that is actually a common thing, but the fact remains that I never before saw anything like that before. I admit that this is irritating me beyond measure, since I pay close to attention to my phones always.

On the picture, you can see a light which is on the left side, but that is from my flashlight so you guys can see the dots more clearly; they are all over the screens and no, they are not pixel errors, for they can be seen even while the two phones are off.

Before I ask for a third Z5 phone, I'd like to seek your help to ensure if that was just bad luck or not. Also, the dots cannot be wiped clean. Sadly.

Sony Xperia Z5's Camera, Disappointment!

Past experiences with shooters in Sony devices weren't that bad, and hence I was looking forward to Sony Z5 mainly because of Sony's reputation of their cameras. However, people, I sure am disappointed. Maybe because the hopes were too high, but Sony Z5's camera isn't that good. Specially as compared the Nexus 6P. Huawei has done it instead of Sony. Major let down!
