You are flashing only appsw file. You must flash appsw, fsp and elabel, otherwise phone will not work.

Well Jurij,

Im just writing to say a massive thanks. Have finally managed to get my Xperia back working again, 2.5 years after I bricked it. Didnt think Id actually be successful but here we are.

I would recommend adding a few more steps to the OP regarding the flashing of the firmware, just my advice.  

Hey Jurij,

So Ive followed the tutorial and came out with this screen:

So the process looks like its success, and as you mentioned the bootloader should be functional. Just a note, that my C6903 was still stuck on the boot screen when I turned on and wouldnt load into flash mode.

Anyway, following your advice I went on xda and downloaded a generic Honami firmware ftf file: C6903_14.1.G.1.526_HK_1276-7948

I loaded this in the S1 Tool and flashed again to my C6903 and the following logs came out, which is identical to the original flash that I carried out and I am still stuck at the boot screen. Am I doing something incredibly silly thats easily rectified? I did manage to enter flash mode by disconnecting my battery, holding the volume down and then re-connecting the battery.

Apologies for any frustration caused. Im trying to glean any info from the thread before contacting you.

Ignore this post please

Now you must reflash your phone with all firmware parts in order:

 

1. APPSW,

 

2. FSP,

 

3. ELABEL.

 

Or you can use PC Companion to update firmware in your phone or any other flash tool.

Where do I download the files you mentioned above? I cant seem to find a link throughout this thread...

Hey Jurij,

Ive been following your steps and I cant get a SEMC Flash Drive in my device manager.

Could this be related to my OS (Win 10 64 bit) or an issue with the phone itself?

Using a C6903.

Also, when completing the above step is the battery connected or disconnected?
