BRICKED after dual recovery 1.7 installer?

Hi Guys,
I was on 1.434 and rooted my device with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v29.
everything worked like charm.
rebooted twice and checked that SU was there.
the next step was CWM for locked bootloaders.
downloaded the newest package lockeddualrecovery1.7.installer and followed the on screen instructions.
After finishing my device rebooted.
After the reboot I have purple/pink LED on and SONY logo on the screen. phone vibrates for half a sec every 10-15 seconds.
none of power / power +vol up / power + vol down combo works.
Can;t even shutdown the device.
The phone is in that state for 15 minutes already and doesnt seem to get any better.
Any ideas?

Well you my friend have a soft brick, Restore with flashtool and you will be up and running in 30mins max
edit: also if your BL is locked you will get this everytime you wipe cache when installing new rom,
When you flashed Dual recovery something went a little bit wrong

Maddhouse, thanks for your answer.
flashtool doesnt recognize the device.
I was able to reset it by holding vol up + power
after the reset it gets to the sony screen and vibrates.

You need to go into flash tool and get a FTF ready to flash then when phone shuts down to reboot plug it in as FLASHMODE,

Xperia Z bricked after restore with TWRP

Hey guys,
i had installed TWRP and flashed Excelsus 1.2.2 onto my phone.
Still on a locked bootloader.
When i went to restore my phone.
It restarted and is stuck on the SONY screen and the notification LED is red.
I've tried to connect it to flashtool, but it does not connect.
Tried the power + volume up button for 10 seconds [vibrates once + restarts]
Tried the power + volume up button for 15 seconds [vibrates thrice + restarts]
Tried the power + volume down button [nothing happens]
I can't shut down the phone.
and the Sony Update tool does not detect the phone.

Press power + volume buttons, let it to vibrate thrice and after vibrating thrice immediately release your hand from phone or maybe you could release it while in second vibration itself, this allows the mobile to switch off. Now you can go to flashtool, connect it in flash mode and flash stock firmware. I had this problem yday and I used this method to switch it off!

sorted it out.
I don't really know what i did though.
used Flashtool to flash the stock firmware onto the phone.
still didn't start.
Plugged in my phone a couple of times.
each time i did another driver would install.
i had already installed the Flashtool drivers.
after the last driver installed, the phone started up

Hi, I seem to be having the same problem, accidently flashed the wrong kernel on my xperia Z with stock jellybean 4.3 in hopes of rooting it but now it just gets stuck on sony logo. Could you direct me to the thread where you said you helped a guy with a similar problem? Can't seem to find it.. :good:
Thanx

[Q] Bricked device, please help

Hello,
I have a problem with my Xperia Z. I was trying to flash boot.img from the PAC-rom right after unlocking my bootloader. I rebooted after unlocking, powered off back to fastboot, but i forgot to turn on usb-debugging (for which i gave myself a lot of facepalms). Then i flashed the boot.img, rebooted in the hope of getting to TWRP-recovery, nut i had to give myself another facepalm. The device is on, at least, the backlight is on, but i have a black screen. Power button does nothing, held it for at least 30 secs but still nothing.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance

Hard power off by pressing Power and Volume up together until the phone vibrates three times.
Download a kernel with recovery, and flash it. Now you will have a kernel, with recovery, no rom, though. I think I never had the need to enable USB debugging. That's on OS level, fastboot is on bootloader level if I'm not mistaken.
Just in case, you enter recovery by pressing volume up after the purple light while phone is booting. After that, you can flash whatever from recovery.
IF you stil have troubles, flash stock using EMMA Flashtool and start over. Read the instructions carefully.

Press power + volume up for 15 seconds till you have 3 vibrations,this will shutdown your phone.
To access to recovery you have to press volume down several times while booting and when you see the led.
You can go back stock using flashtool.

xperia v won't power on

here's what happened. i was running cm10.2 before. i was trying to clear some files thru cwm. i rebooted the phone then after that it won't power on. i already charged it overnight but it still won't power on. i already try pressing all button combinations but nothing. i also tried to flash a fresh ftf file but it isn't detecting my phone. when i charge it the red led light would stay on for maybe 5 minutes. and then it'll be off for also around 5 minutes then it will turn on again. also when i hold the power button the red led light blinks twice. i hope someone can help me with this..

[Q] Bricked Xperia c6603 that can't shut down

So the thing is, I decided to buy this phone from another person a few days ago while it was still working but it had this one problem where the owner told me about how the phone can't be shutdown unless the battery runs out of power. Any time you shut it down, it simply reboots instead. I thought it was most likely a problem I could fix after flashing, so I decided to buy it.
Using Flashtool I was able to see that if timed pressing the buttons and plugging it into my computer right before the reboot started, I could boot into flashmode. This phone came in the 4.4 KK firmware and the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB build, so I flashed an older kernel and rooted it using Towelroot before reflashing the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB kernal. After rooting (and testing if root apps can shut it down which didn't work either), with a locked bootloader I installed the XZDualRecovery using the method here because I was finding it so hard to unlock the bootloader and Flashtool wouldn't do it either. It automatically booted into TWRP recovery menu but when I tried to flash a ROM (existenz Ultimate 3.5 to be precise), it simply made the screen go black for a second and took me back to the recovery menu. So figuring it was a bad download, I downloaded a smaller ROM but when I rebooted I accidentally went into PhilZ Touch menu instead. Deciding to do the usual wipe before flashing, here's where I messed up like an idiot. I saw an option along the lines of "Wipe CLEAN for flashing ROM" or something and trusted it so much despite it saying it's gonna wipe the system partition clean as well (I still don't know why I accepted even when warned of that).
So basically now I have a system that boots the SONY splashscreen and then goes black with the back light still on unless the battery runs out. I can't shut it down no matter how long I hold the power button and if I restart, it boots back to the same thing. I have no recovery menu now thanks to my genius idea of wiping the system, and the only thing I can enter is flashmode. So when I try to flash an FTF firmware (I tried every firmware I could get) back into the phone with Flashtool, it would simply say "preparing for flashing" for about a minute before it says "device disconnected" because the phone decides to exit flash mode and boot normally. I have a locked bootloader (with bootloader unlocking allowed), so I can't flash recovery menus. When I try booting by holding the VolumeUp key and plugging it in, it enters flash mode only with the red LED on and I still get the same results on Flashtool.
Was wondering if there were any ways around this that I might have missed before deciding to open the phone and change the hardware? And if it comes to that, what would I need to change (have always been a software guy when it comes to phones)? Any tips and advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: Have a bricked c6603 from wiping the system, that can't shutdown and keeps rebooting and refuses to be flashed.

If you have time before the phone reboots, hold Volume UP and the power key for 15 seconds. The phone will vibrate once at 10 seconds. Keep holding the keys until you feel 3 vibrations. This will hard power down the phone.

^I've tried this and it simply boots back up again.

Hmm. That should definitely shut the device down, not restart it.
Sounds like there could possibly be an issue with your power button. I've heard of issues with the power button after water damage. Have you checked the water ingress indicators under the flaps? If any are red, it points to earlier damage from water.

Seems like you're right, I just checked it and it indeed has a faded red color on it. Do you think if I take the phone apart it the power button could be fixed or should I swap something else inside this from another Xperia?

I experienced this problem
Pls hold down volume When u connect your phone to pc via flashtool,
It will connect in flash mode
After that , just flash 0.230 kernel via flash mode ( kernel not rom )
Then disconnect your phone
Turn it off ( hold power button and volume up till it vibrates 3 times )
Then before it turn on again , hold down the volume down and connect it to pc via usb and this time flash 0.283 Rom ( not kernel )
This worked for me
