Problem witg Z2 after software update

[gooni]

Same problem as many others before. Mobile is off and when I try to turn it on it says "the software update failed...". I know that the SUS does not exist anymore and that The Sony Companion will help but it say that I will loose all my data if I do so

Is there any chance not to loose data and get access to my mobile again?

Thanks for your help

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.

So,no chance to save the data in any way? 1300 Photos n all contacts lost?

Where are the photos stored? If they are on SD,it is great.
