Hello,
I have a question about the flashmode mode : when my phone is off, I press Volume Down and plug the USB cable, the led pass from off to red, green and off.
I want to know if it must be green all the time and if there is something on screen.
Because some times I have difficulties to repair my phone with Sony Update Service.
Edit:
After some tests on Windows and Linux, if I plug my phone in flashmode, after 1 minute it reboot.
I had the same problems but then I did the following steps 1- download SONY PCC 2- Download the flash-tool windows ver. 3- Download the .ftf 4- Shut down the device 5- you have to open the flash tool then start to flash the .ftf 6- An image will appear that will tell you to plug the device 7- Start to press the lower volume button then plug it you will have 45sec before it reboots (to flash the ftf) . there will be a red then green lights for less than 2 sec then it will be dark (this is the flash mode for the Xperia z) the flash tool will detect it
Hit the thanks button if i helped you
Mine does the same (turns green on for a split second only) but works fine.
same
Same here: xperia Z3 Compact (D5833) in FLASH mode green LED flashes, then red LED and then LED is off.

I found these discussion http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/82744-xperia-t-bricked-after-updating-to-102/
The procedure is :
-Phisically disconnect the battery ( there are a lot of guides online)
-Now you're abe to have green or blue led plugging the phone in a pc with Flashtool running.
-Reinstall a stock rom using flashmode(green light , pushing the volume up button during the insert of usb)
-Reinstall the kernel ( Doomlord preferably), now don't unplug or push nothing
-This passage is confusional, i tried some times to reconnect the battery after the installation and to send the command from flashtool reboot system. The first times the sony logo appeared only for some second but after some installation and try , worked.
-put in charge for some hours
Hoping that it's usefull for someone

Hi!
My XZ is dead. There is just Red Light and black screen. When i reset it with on with Power + Volume Up it shows up flashing the red light twice and then no more LED light. Only when i switch it to the USB Charger it gets again permanent in red light.
It seems it can connect with Flashtool when i reset with Power+Volume Up, but ends with "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.". Tried to flash C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic DE
With Sony Update Service i cant get any connection to the phone.
Phone is rooted and Bootloader is unlocked. (6603)
//Update:
Ok, i fixed by myself. This Thread from AhmedZadjali http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-unbricked-sony-xperia-z-c6603-t2615460 helped me a lot.
I only Hold Power + Volume Up till device vibrates three times so its shutdown. After that i used EMMA from Sony Mobile, installed programm and drivers under Win 8.1 After that plug in device with original sony usb cable. Important: Use a USB slot direct of your pc or laptop. Connectiong With a USB Hub it dont work. Flashing the Firmware wit EMMA and restart after the sucessful process. Starting with 2 % Charge in Stock FW - charging now and i am happy that my device is revived and unbricked
I was formating sd card in recovery mode, and then I chose "reboot to system" option, for leaving recovery. The telephone turn off. And nothing more. The battery was about 80%.
The telephone don't react on anything. No power button (or holding power button+volumeUp). If I connect usb charger, it doesn't do anything. If I connect PC via USB, there is no new device in PC. No led blinking.
I tried charging for hole day and night, but nothing changed.
I opened the case (it is just on screw) and disconnect and reconnect the battery. But nothing changed.
So I disconnect the battery again and connect usb. The red LED now blinks every second. And when I'm holding the power button, it doesn't do anything. But it is still the same.. black screen, turned off, no computer connection..
Have you any idea, what can I do? What can I try? Thx

You shouldn't have rebooted into system after wiping it in the first place, because you have no system now. You might try flashing any custom rom's kernel (boot.img) if your device is unlocked. You do it using Flashtool. First copy the boot.img from the rom's zip and paste it somewhere, then select the lightning bolt icon in flashtool, select fastboot mode. Then connect your phone to pc while holding volume + button and keep holding it until blue led lights up. Then in flashtool on the right side choose to flash kernel and select the boot.img you copied from the rom before. After that you should be able to boot into recovery and install any custom rom. If you do not have any custom rom on your phone, you can only transfer it from pc to your microSd card using the sd card adapter and then put the sd card back in your phone.
If your bootloader is NOT unlocked, then you can only try connecting your phone to pc while holding the volume - button until green led lights up. If it doesn't light up, I believe your phone is hard bricked and you can't do anything much. If it does light up, you can download any firmware for your phone in .ftf format and flash it using the same method as described above, but instead of choosing fastboot mode, you have to choose flashmode and select the .ftf you downloaded.

This. I was in the same situation like you just few hours ago. I decided to install custom stock based rom and I rebooted after factory reset. My phone wasn't turning on or anything, just dead brick. I left it for few hours and then I saw that red led was blinking while I was trying to turn it on. So I plugged it into my PC and it was charging (first success). I used flashtool and after many, and I mean it, errors it managed to flash my stock rom.
Now I am stuck at installing CWM v7 but that is another story ; )
Flashtool does not recognize my device
I can't access Fastboot or Flashmode.
When I press the power button nothing happens.
When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the UP volume button the LED flashes red then turns blue. It stays blue.
When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the DOWN volume button the LED flashes red then green then the LED turns off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I get to step 6 nothing happens. it's like I can't get into Flashmode. It just repeats connect your device. No matter how many times I do it or how long I hold the button. It's not recognizing the device. PC companion doesnt recognize it either.

Yes. I broke the charger connector thing in the phone. I had it repaired and it was working. I honestly think the place that repaired it messed with the phone to get more money out of me.
They fixed it and when I took it, once it ran out of battery it started to do the same thing again. I cant figure out what it is.

it seems that they didnt fix your phone at all. I suggest you go to a more reliable store or even if there is one near you to a sony repair store

VOL UP (Blue LED) is fastboot. This is working . Thats a good thing.
1. Turn the Handy off
2. Press and hold VOL+UP
3. Connect the cable
4. Wait till the LED is blue and take your fingers from the phone
The display will indicates nothing in this mode.. It's normal.
Now you can Download TWRP Recovery for C6603.
Have you got an open bootloader.
which rom you wanted to install? stock? custom?
1. Download the boot-twrp-v2.img from (please take the right version for your phone):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...t/recovery-stable-twrp-2-4-3-0-touch-t21821122. Make your PC available for adb+fastboot:
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
&
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal-ADB-and-Fastboot_62500183.html3. Go in folder with "fastboot.exe"
4. Press "Shift+Mouse-Right-Click"
5. "open command windows here"
6. C:\Flashtool\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot boot-twrp-v2.img
Go in Recovery and wipe/factory reset (or flash a new rom, ...)
Should work. Good Luck.
you could try to recover your os via Sony PC Companion

your solution is not going to help because its a hardware problem and pc companion wont help since the phone wont even boot up
in a similar (or worse) problem :
was just using the phone when it hangs .. Instead being smart and patient, I tried to hard-reset it .. the screen goes dark, my android wear disconnect .. but then I literally got nothing ..
tried to put it to the cradle, connect the USB to computer, no lights, nothing
fastboot mode : volume up + connect USB, no lights, nothing
hold power button : no lights, nothing ..
the phone feels cold, so the procs seems to be sleeping ...
any ideas ?

believe me hard reset didnt do that. Either your battery died and now you need a new battery or you phone died and now you need a new phone
hello,
have a c5303 xperia sp and im trying to re-flash the stock rom using flashtool64. the phone doesnt power on but if i hold vol up/down then plug the phone into my pc via usb the respective fastboot/flash mode led colour lights up and it pops up on my computer to confirm it. when i try flash the stock rom, is gives me a error about system.sin, since then i am not able to get into flash/fastboot modes on my phone. as this has happened before (the phone not going into fastboot) im pretty sure i can get it to flash without system.sin then use fastboot to do it after.
the screen is completely blank, not even a backlight. when the usb is plugged in without a mode, it is red on the phones led, when i unplug it and try to turn it on, the red led flashes and nothing happens.
thanks in advance!
fixed it nvm
