I can see that you've flashed only APPSW file. If you are sure that you've flashed all firmware parts in order:

 

1. APPSW,

 

2. FSP,

 

3. ELABEL.

 

then try to flash it with different firmware version, for example the latest one.

Once your boot is fixed during flash of APPSW file, you can flash your phone with any firmware version you want. Find any suitable firmware on the internet and flash it. In case of Xperia Z1 smartphone you must flash all 3 parts of firmware in order:

 

1. APPSW,

 

2. FSP,

 

3. ELABEL.

YEEEEEEEESSSSSS, I DID IT....

My Z1 back to life.... Thanks to you Jurij.

I follow every step from the tutorial.

I have find the FSP and Elabel by myself by using a ftf file  from which i succeed to get the FSP and Elabel files following your tutorial ( http://sony.yt/topic...55-smartphones).

Everything was right but nothing happens....Green light but no boot.... I flashed it at least ten times during 2 days....

Always green light but no boot...

When i noticed that my Z1 board was not connected correctly(maybe i have disconnected it when i was deassembling my phone.

I connected it correctly and BADABOUM...... Z1 is booting and functionning...

I'm very happy..... Thanks to you.

If flashing done ok and phone can't power on - it's hardware problem, not releated to this thread at all. What happened that your phone become dead?

Loader aid dead - hardware problem. However you can try to insert battery before pressing ready after connecting testpoint but i doubt it will help. Buy working Z1 with broken lcd and swap main board.

I have made an restore via TWRP ( system, data, kernel , all of it ) and my phone just died. I somehow found out that i may have my TA messed up, and also , I fount about testpoint, i have researched many forums and stuff, and after hard searching i found this tutorial wich completely makes sense.>>>>

http://sony.yt/topic...z1-c6903/page-3<<<

everythings works just fine..my pc recongnises the phone ( i can hear the sound ), s1 tool also recognises the phone in emergency mode but still, when i flash the file it get me this log, and it seems like nothing really happens.

first I tried with your z1 file and after I have downloaded a file for Z1 compact because as myself i'm using a z1 compact. but it was still the same result..everything worked fine until this point. I have to mention that i owned another Z1 compact and after trying to restore the SAME BACKUP with TWRP , the same thing happend, but i talked with sony and since i had warranty they paid my money back. and now with my 2nd phone this thing is happening again !!. i have to mention that i cannot flash anything, or use PC companion since i can't put my phone into fastboot or flashmode. if i connect the cable only the red led blinks. that s all the respone. until i made the testpoint thing. then i hear a sound of an connected device. please help, if u can. thanks alot  !

What's inside that file: amami_testpoint.SIN_FILE_SET ?

I don;t know how to check. i do not have a program that could read what's inside of it


It was a file downloaded from xda . it was a thread about the same problem but for xZ1c. and with the file downloaded from here, even though it was for XPeria z1 , the s1 tool gave me the same error


any ideas ?

Can you explain to me WHY do you flash unknown files into your phone and then crying that phone is dead? Never ever do that again. Check what is your phone model for example D5503 and flash proper firmware in S1 Emergency Mode in exact order:

 

1. APPSW,

 

2. FSP,

 

3. Elabel.

 

If you will be lucky, phone will be working again.

You are perfectly right, but i tried to find soo hard these files and no luck. a link or smth may be very helpful. google doesn;t help me much. besides i trust xda, and i read all the comments and its was ok..as far as i saw. i tried to make and extraction with flashtool to make APPSW and FSP but as far as i know the s1 tool doesnt recognize zip or rar files. i will try searching something and see what i can do. 


i found your tutorial about how to trasform FTF file to .sin_file_set...i flashed the files in the exact orders and this is what i get. the same error as before for all the 3 flashed files. :(

So the only thing you can do is to buy working D5503 with broken lcd and swap main board or sell your phone for replacement parts and but a new one :(

Your phone has damaged trim area. Do you have original backup of trim area from your phone in working state?

If you do not have trim area backup from working state - this phone is a brick. The only thing you can do - buy working phone with broken lcd and swap main board.
