After searching around I couldn't find anything related so here's my problem.
After succesfully unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia Z it continues to work fine.
It prompted the initial startup screen (enter language, account info ect.)
I turned my device off and on... this is where the problem starts..
This is what i get
Sony brand logo>
Xperia brand logo>
5 repeated cloud animation of xperia logo and at the last one it stalls, Phone reboot and back to 0.
This goes on repeatedly until a hard poweroff or complete discharge ( I suppose)
So I know im kinda screwed, is relocking the bootloader any option? Contacting Sony atm for some sort of software replacement/flash anything..
Cheers, Geert
Try the safe mode,keep pressing vol down with power until the phone boot completely.
If the phone boot to safe mode than do a factory reset.

Welcome to XDA
you should go to the recovery thread in my signature. Read the first 2 posts.
Hope you recover your phone.
Hi everyone !
I have the same problem as GeertNool. My Xperia is stuck in the same loop. I have tried everything.
- Flashboot : stuck at 0% when i try to flash
- Pc Companion and SEUS = dead ends
- Safe mode : cant make it work
I read the recovery thread. It seems that the Kernel is malfunctioning but i dont understand what should be my next move. Am i supposed to let the phone reboot endlessly untill eventually the battery dies ?
Thanks a lot for your precious answers.

Yes.
When the battery dies the phone should reset itself.
After the loops end plug into a charger, not pc for now.
You should get a red led indicating low battery level charging is working.
After the red led you may get Sony boot screen or bootloops.
If you get Sony and then the charging battery icon, then charge to over 50%. Then use pc companion or flashtool to restore.
If you get bootloops then read my 2nd post from the recovery thread in my signature for bootloop tricks.
Please let me know if it works. I am looking to add the Xperia Z to my recovery guide.
If there are any questions about my guide please ask in that thread.
Thanks

Try this: hold power and VolUp for about 15 seconds. The device should vibrate 3 times in a row. It should now be off. Don't plug it in anywhere.

i will try to flash it using flashtool. thanks for your help mate
had the same problem and i managed to fix it just showing sony sign by installing the sony update programme on the sony update website
all you do is put phone into flashboot mode.
on mine i had to hold up and power button untill it vibrates 3 times then press down volume button to get it into flashboot mode
takes a few atempts but it worked.
takes around 20 mins to download then install another 10.
i couldnt get flashtool to flash firmware as my phone is locked on 3 mobile firmware locked bootloader
i hope this helps you
update:
schaggo method works. i can breath now. thanks to @gm007
This worked great for unbricking mine !!
P.S. don't waste time for Sony's Emma flash, they do not send login credentials in real time, site says they do manual user validation ...

I have the same issue here, the phone suddenly dead. Charge it using AC adaptor and wall socket and the red led flashs for about 2 hours, the orange LED never turns on. Try your advice and got this:
1) Vol up + Power not work (no vibration, nothing)
2) Flash with flashtool 0.9.10.2 beta6 with no lucky, indicated "device disconnected" after animation gone.
3) regress to flashtool 0.9.10.1, device connected and then stuck at "flashing data.....", the progress bar stay at 0% and then nothing.
P.S. bootloader is still locked but phone is ROOTED so I'm affraid it's out of warranty. Just got the phone as a birthday gift from my wife yesterday! She'd kill me if she knows that.
Update:
1) Power + Vol Up works now. The sequence does matter, I found I have to press the Power button first and then Vol Up, it dosen't work vise versa.
2) flashing still doesn't work for me. And I noticed that the LED turn green and then turn off immediately. I'm not sure if that is the cause. I'm sure when in fastboot mode (connect to USB port when pressing Vol Up), the LED turn blue and stay blue. Is my flash mode corrupted?? That's really bad!

Try sony update service or remove flashtool and install again and use another firmware(maybe the first one is corrupted).

Hey guys! My Z has been awesome these past few months and w the recent 4.2.2 update, its been PERFECT. I finally rooted it last week and installed CWM for locked BLs. However I haven't been able to boot to recovery so I downloaded an app called Quick Boot (Reboot ). The thing is, when I selected "boot to recovery", my screen went black and now I can't start my phone!
The LED also does not light when plugged in, and I've tried every possible button combination with no results.
Please help! Thanks!
Try holding power and volume up. You should feel a vibration and the phone should restart.

Your phone doesn't need to be booted to use flashtool. Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, you could try doing a repair with SUS - http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/
As for that app, I doubt it has bricked your phone. Any app that has a 'reboot to recovery' option will not work on our device as we do not have a recovery partition. There is a fix for this in the original development section that allows 'reboot to recovery' to function properly.

This is very strange. When you held power and volume up, how long did you wait? You have to hold them for around 15 seconds IIRC.

What the hell, I'll try help. If you're in windows 8 you need to install the fastboot drivers booting without driver signing, what os are you on? if you need more help reply or check my profile for my skype user.
Try to push pwr + vol down to enter into flasboot.
You should also try pwr + vol up until the phone vibrates 3 times. That's a hard reboot.

fastboot is vol up + usb while device powered off. FLASH mode is vol down. What exactly do you get from the device? Any feedback at all? Backlight? Vibration?

have you unlocked the bootloader?
If not then repair with pccompanion.
If you have flash a stock kernel first then flash with a stock ftf in flashtool.

My PC won't recognize it, and it won't stay in flashmode long enough to flash a stock kernel.
Now it's looping the Sony startup screen..
The bootloader is locked.
Then that's your problem,
You cannot flash cm on a locked bootloader.
Charge the phone for 24 hours then use pccompanion with the correct drivers to repair it

I tried using Flashtool to flash the stock ftf, but it doesn't stay in flashmode long enough for it to flash it completely. Please help, I need this phone!

Hey,
Were you able to solve this issue. I have the same issue and I was trying to load pacman ROM on to my phone. The phone vibrates sometimes when pressing the power button. On long press of power + vol up, it does 3 vibrations and thats all. I tried "Emma" (the Sony flashtool) and it recognized my phone. But, the ATT model of xperia TL's bootloader cannot be unlocked and hence was not able to use the flashtool. the PC companion too detects the phone, but when i try to repair, it starts the process but says there is not update for the model. Is there any other manual way in which this issue can be resolved. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Use sony update service

Or use the original XDA version of Flash tool from the first post in the dev section to flash a stock ftf

Actually, the problem could be the same as for the Xperia T.. the cm 10.2 boot.img are corrupt.. I had the problem yesterday and needed to flash a boot.img from 11. november out of a nightly to get the 10.2 RC1 working.. You should try with fastboot. On an Xperia T you should force a shutdown with power button and volume up button pressed until it vibrates 3 times, and the boot into fastboot. I got it working but was not convinced with 10.2 RC1 cm.. I had the same bug as in an 10.1.3 stable : freezes when tilting the screen in graphical apps..

Really appriciate for your helping comments....
but.
how do i suppose to do that, where no power no led and no response from FlashTools....?
please give some instruction Step by Step
I already have CM11 (4.4) kitkat with Gapps.
but how to give the kernel for cm11 4.4?
thnks...mate
Hey, first to answer your question, the CM 11 kernel is inside the ROM .zip called "boot.img". So just to understand you, you have had eXistenZ Ultra 1.3.7 (which is in case no ROM but a kind of update) and then you Installed mahdi ROM over it, right? And now your phone is like dropped into a pool. If so the chance to reanimate your phone is unfortunately very low. I heard about a USB-JIG and J-TAG which can help but don't know if that works.
Nevertheless, I hope I could help a little bit and good luck

type fast boot flashboot boot.img (kernal file inside cm 11 zip file)
cmd windows will say waiting for the phone.
now connect the usb while pressing volume down and hold the power button for two to three seconds.
ther is nothing to hard brick the device.wht ur problem is u have wrong kernal for the rom to boot.(cm11 rom and it has doom kernal, becouse boot.img file from cm11 has not push to the phone correctly when flashing the cm rom.
make sure ur battery is not empty.

@shojeep, first, calm down! Most of Sony's devices only brick when you try to do something with TA partition...
If you tried to flash a wrong kernel it will only softbrick.
first, breathe a little, keep calm and in hope is gonna work.
Now, with all the calm of the world,try the following: hold the glory hole poweroff button for 10 seconds (located on the back cover of the phone)
next, you will connect usb cable on phone (DONT CONNECT THE OTHER SIDE ON PC, JUST USB ON PHONE)
then, you have to hold just the vol+ button by 10 seconds, and NOW you connect the usb on PC. Phone should be detected by Windows 7.
now you open flashtool, and see if the phone is being detected by FlashTool.
if yes, hold power button until phone vibrates. Now you connect the phone on the pc holding vol- button to enter on flashmode
flash this: 2.254 kernel , and later flash the full ftf 2.254 to the phone.
hope it works.
