So my phone will not longer boot. It started like this: all of a sudden it wouldn't work properly when in a phone call, I could hear the other person but they wouldn't hear me. So I just turned off my phone and when I tried to turn it back on the triangle icon wth wrench and screwdriver appeared as seen in the image below (I had around 40% battery). I left it like that for almost an hour and since it wouldn't turn back on I did the power+volume up but it would load back on to the triangle. Then I removed the micro sd and power+volume up and it loaded the sony logo, then the xperia logo, then this sony colored waves/smoke started and the 3rd time this "wave" crossed the screen, it just froze and began a never ending loop of sony+xperia+waves+restart... over and over again :S It stopped only after long pressing power button + volume up. I tried pluggin it on my pc and starting the Sony PC companion but doesnt recognizes the phone. I read in another post that they fixed this issue by connecting the phone to the PC and launching sony's pc updater. But I don't know what's this "sony pc updater" thing, if they mean PC companion Ive tried it out and doesnt work for me.
Thx in advance for any help! (btw, my xperia z is with the latest update installed)

Possible Solution :
Install the STOCK ftf file of Xperia Z into Your Phone Using Flashmode.
What You will need is
1. Flashtool
2. Ftf file for Xperia Z (Download the ftf from your device thread)
Flash The ROM ftf file.
You should be running the phone by the time you finish.
I fixed it!!

As dwarkesh2492 said (thx a lot by the way), all I did was download a stock rom (I found the italian unbranded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293794) and flashed it with flashtool beta 6 ( tutorial on how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614). At first it wouldn't start flashing but I tried several times plugging and unplugging my phone while holding volume down and it finally flashed It was the 1st time I ever flashed a ROM or anything so I'm sure anyone can do it.
I hope it helped.

I had this yesterday, try the power button for about 15 seconds or the above method of power and volume up
If you see the screen in the attached image, then just wait for it to finish working, which the bar at the bottom shows it's doing.
hey guys! thanks alot its working... Im really apreciate your help,, see here Im still newbie

What method exactly worked for you?
I'm having the same triangle screen, I interrupted it by pressing vol up + down + power, and after that it just showed the Sony logo. The battery died and when I try to charge it now, the only sign of life is the red LED and "SONY". I won't go into flashmode (yet) so flashtool is not an option. I'll try to charge it whole night (am in the Netherlands) and try flashtool again tomorrow.
Btw. I am on RomAUR which is nearly stock .253 and this means I have root too. Locked BL. The problem appeared after rebooting the phone because I suddenly didn't mount the external SD.
Any help appreciated, thanks!!

SONY Update Service Is no longer available
But I learned about how to turn off the phone thanks to other of your posts (thanks again!) and that saved my life
My ZU will not boot up either
So after reading this should we NOT try to do a reset using Sony Update Service.app?

Hi,
I have an Xperia T that has the sleep of death.
All I get from it is a flashing red led when the power button is held in.
I have tried flashing with xperia flash tool, and downloaded a stock Xperia rom.
I can get into flashmode and the phone shows a Green led. Flashtool can flash the kernel, but fails because USB debugging and accept 3rd party is not enabled. USB debugging OFF. I cannot turn this on, as I cant boot the phone!
Also, have tried sony update service, it detects the phone fine. but fails with the software installation.
Can someone help?
many thanks xda
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on what to do next. I've got an 6903 Xperia Z1 (LB, not rooted, 4.4.2) that seems to be stuck in fastboot or flashmode, with no screen showing and only a red light (some of the time). I've read up everything I can on the boards and have charged it for 18 hours (twice) but to no avail.
Here's what happened:
I used a Chinese car charger that I probably put on upside down (which might mean it shorted the battery).
This put it in a reboot loop that went Sony --> Xperia --> blackness --> Sony etc
I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (no exclusions) which put it in a Sony --> Sony reboot loop.
I then flashed C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Generic_Global-1277-2880_R5C which didn't make any difference.
I flashed C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT] (excluding kernel, baseband - I don't know why) and this put it into black screen only mode (with some steady red LED sometimes).
I charged it for 18 hours.
From here I couldn't get it into flashmode or fastboot mode UNLESS I short the battery with the same charger.
Once I shorted the battery again I managed to get it into flashmode (permanently, I think) and do a "repair" on the Sony Bridge for Mac up to the latest android. It went fine, apparently, but unplugging it didn't allow it to be turned off or turned on again. It seems like now when it's plugged in it's always in flashmode (or I can put it in fastboot mode). I can flash whatever I want, it seems, but to no avail.
I have since flashed both the above FTFs.
Any suggestions for what to do next?
Thank you!
Press and hold both the power button and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times.
Then do a repair again.
Then throw that Chinese charger in the bin
then flash a 534 ftf, install dual recovery then flash the rom of your choice.

Thanks Greg - I've spent the last day trying to get my phone to respond again... no vibrations, no turning on or off. Just the red LED. Hmmm.
Leave it on charge for 24 goes and try again
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So I have usual problem with my Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 it turned of with 70%> battery. So I flashed new rom from xda thread, in order to flash it I instaled costum recovery from one site (my bootloader cant be unlocked).
So my phone turned off and I did probably mistake by entering recovery with low battery and deleting data,dalvik and cache. I tried powering phone up by holding power button + volume up and clicking red button next to sim card slot. When I plug phone in wall charger or computer led doesnt glow red or screen dont turn on. What have I done ?!?!? Can you help me please?
So I left my phone on the charger whole night, when I woke up it was stuck on Sony logo. I have android 4.4.4 on my computer downloaded so I flashed it via flashtool. Problem solved.
I have Xperia xz 3 Japan version. I tried to flash stock update but I mistakenly flashed wrong file for global xz3. The phone rebooted and Sony logo came on but restarted twice and not it can turn on again. Just red light turn on and off when charger is connected and when I try to turn it on too, the green light blinks and phone vibrate but won't turn on. Fastboot mode too won't stay on because green light turns of after few seconds. PC can't recognize the phone. Please help me. I have tried using all keys to try to turn it back on but no luck. Help guys
Hi there,
How did you actually managed to flash it, with bootloader locked or inloced, which tool?
