This time, a common reported problem is that different Xperia devices are not booting up and are stuck at the boot screen. This is a problem caused by users and can be fixed if the damage is not too big. This problem is often called as Soft brick or Hard brick.
Soft brick is a lot easier to fix than a hard brick. Most of the times, a hard bricked device cannot be fixed. Follow the solutions below to fix your Xperia device. It can be the Sony Xperia Z2, Z1, Z and even Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Most of the cases, the device can get bricked when the user tries to flash a custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader. The custom ROM kernel requires an unlocked bootloader. If the phone has a locked bootloader, the kernel will not work and the device will get stuck at the boot screen.
Also, before flashing a custom ROM, always wipe data, cache and make a factory reset so the installed applications will not corrupt on the new ROM.
If you can’t boot into Recovery, choose and download a stock FTF file for your device. Flash the stock FTF file, unlock the bootloader, install a new recovery and flash a new custom ROM.
