I will describe what programs showing because i have polish version and maybe you can't understand them:
When i'm trying to connect to pc companion when pc recognise phone i'm geting message PC companion could not connect with device disconnect device and try again
When trying do sof/hard reset nothing happens
When trying to pull in fastboot or flash mode pc recognise phone always the same in conrtol panel ZEUS FLASH device pc also recognise in thisa mode without battery and without pushing any buttons but i'm not geting any led Green or blue only when i'm conecting charger or usb cable WITHOUT battery it blinks red ones
When i'm trying to flash with flashtool or original update service when program is on screen asking me to connect the device i plug usb pc recognising the phone (usb connected device sound) but program doesn't start to flash or even recognise
i have also setool when i'm trying to flash by setool when program is waiting for device connecting bar is moving on down side of window when i connect the phone it is stoping like it tries to connect but nothing happens....
i was thinking to try this but i have cheked battery voltage and it is 3,88 so i thing it is fully charged:
Here are the steps I took successfully revise my phone from soft brick.
Let the phone charge (long long time = 4+ hrs) on wall charger.
Red light on (constantly - not flashing) - charge until red light off (again very long time =16+ hrs)
Unplug from wall
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode
While hold volumn down and plug in USB
Red light will be back on, after a few seconds - flash will run.
Unplug USB then power on - phone will boot and die (it's okay don't worry)
Charge the phone again - after a while (or let it charge full), you can now turn on the phone.
That is all ... Back and running.
GOOD Luck.
Timing = could be different from phone to phone - depends on battery of the phone before it dead.
please do you have any idea? for me it hangs in some kind of boot mode and i don't know how to kick it fromthis and reflash if any screens can help please tell me i will do them

I forgot to add when i'm doing test point to unlock for example ARC it is also recognised as ZEUS Flash so i thing it stays in some king of boot mode but there is no information in the net how to kick it out or even do jtag because i can doit also but i think it is not supported yet

You have an xperia T, then how can you connect the phone to the PC WITHOUT a battery? It is not removable in the Xperia T!
Have you flashed anything to the device before this happened?
EDIT
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode

Which firmware is .111? I dont beleive there has ever been a .111 firmware for the T? Can you give me the post you found that in and the download link, thanks

i disassemble the back cover it's very simple the battery connector is on the flex cable i know what i'm talking if you want i can send pics i'am using flashifile LT30p_7.0.A.1.303_CH the most important think that no program is detecting the phone only pc recognising the phone

OK,
Yes thats true but it sounds similar to a problem I have come across before. But this happened when someone flashed the S1 update on the TX instead of the T.
Have you unistalled evrything android/sdk/adb related from your computer and started again.
Also, you can try another machine.
Are you on win8? That has issues with drivers from Sony.

Yes, it sounds like your friend has done something silly to the phone. Untill we know exactly what he did, and what he tried to flash we are just guessing...

I dont know where testpoint is on xperia T as we have never been down that road here.
Has he tried to use EMMA to flash something? That is meant only for unlocked bootloaders, maybe he has messed up with that, but I am onl guessing here and i cant really see why that would do anything to the boot...
Maybe he tried to flash it, dropped it, broke it, and thinks a software hack can help him....

Try using flashtool to flash the original firmware.
Check if holding the vol - works.
If it does. Then you dont have to worry. Your device will be fine.

Try googling for the .ftf file for your Xperia Z. Then you can flash the firmware with flashtool & I think.u should do it before your battery is gone...
Cause after flashing ftf it takes almost 3-4 minutes to boot.

Sure~
i was following the step that found in XDA

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154310
the files you can download inside.BUT something you should be aware~
1.this two file (Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img and Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img)
should put it in the same of adb.exe file (c:\xxx\sdk\platform-tools\)
2.IF you don't know how to connect devices in fastboot mode in step 6 (following by the website i gave)
you should wait after flashing CF-Auto-root and reboot about once , plugin your usb and press VOLUME UP key TOGETHER
in that time ,you should see a blue led light on your devices.
I'd try that just disconnect and hard power off ,and plugin usb normally ,you will be fail to enter fastboot mode.
So my solution of solving boot loop after flashing CF-auto-root ,is PRESS and HOLD VOLUME UP key WHILE plugin your usb.
i did a big and long time reseach that teaching how to root xperia z ,all haven't point out that the method of entering fastboot mode
maybe they use another way to enter anyway my devices is running normal now and rooted
Hope these can help you :laugh: and
sorry of my bad english~

Thanks. I will try again later.
Anyway, I am running on Windows 8 and I'm not sure if it could be one of the issues I've faced.
I installed both the Flashtool abd Fastboot drivers and it was ok except for the Google driver which it said was not installed.
I checked the Adroid SDK by running the SDK pgm and it tells me I have Google Drivers (version 7) already installed.
So it should be ok, rite??

Tried but still cant detect my phone......it just stays at BLUE LED (volume up) and PC still cant detect phone.
When I pressed volume down, there is no light.
When I press the power button, it starts to boot-loop
Btw, which drivers are you using and where did you guys get your drivers from?
I am downloaded the Android SDK drivers with Google USB drivers Rev 7.

My sony xperia z will not power on anymore. If i connect it to a charger, it shows the sony logo and keeps restarting. When i connect it to my computer not much happens. SUS can detect it and i tried updating it, it downloads and installs and tells me to restart my phone but still nothing happens and the same thing as before happens when i connect it with a charger.Sony PC Companion app does not detect the phone.
So i tried flashing with xperia flasher and i downloaded a 4.3 stock rom, flashed it but then at the end it says usb debugging mode must be enabled but i do not think its enabled, nor can i check since my phone does not power on.
Please Help!!!

sorry meant FlashTool. i did flash and it completed it successfully but when i tried powering on, nothing happend. so i connected to charger and the sony logo loop restart happen again. it said at the end of flashing that usb debugging must be enabled so i think that may be the problem why it did not work.
I have tried hard reset. It vibrates once, pauses and then vibrates 3 times and then nothing.

I know, but I wasn't sure if you tried it with the repair method. If you just plug your phone in to the pc, it won't recognize it. But when you use the repair method, pcc tells you to power off the phone, and bring it into flashmode

When I open up pcc and select "Support Zone" - "phone / tablet software update" - "repair phone" it'll ask what phone you have, then you select it, it will download the firmware and ask you to power off the phone and plug it in while holding vol up

nvm, found out how to do it. Completed it but it still does not work.
Is it cause i need at least 50% battery? If so, is there any way of doing so? because if i connect to wall charger it does the sony logo restart loop and when i connect to pc it goes in mtp mode.

I don't think it's because of your battery level..... I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that....
I think you have to send it to sony for repair. As long as you haven't modified anything on your phone they should repair it
Edit: Before you send it to sony, try their chat, sometimes they can help

Your bootloader is unlocked? And have you tried flashing ftf using flashtool?

If you dont know bootloader unlock, its most probably its locked. Grab an ftf and flash with flashtool. Usually update service works.

I have done that before so that means it should be unlocked.
Now what do i do?

[Q] Did I just hard-brick my Xperia T?

Hello.
I was installing different boot.img by Flashify app. Then I was asked to restart my phone, pressed the button and... nothing.
My phone doesn't turn on, LED doesn't blink while connected to adapter, phone is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
I'm 99% sure my phone is hardbricked, but I'm not going to lose it. If there are any possible solutions to recovery it, I'll risk to keep my phone alive (or dead).
Thanks for any response

If it is hard bricked then open the phone disconnect the battery and reconnect it..then use flashtool to flash a kernel with recovery and flash another rom..you should then be good to go!

@PeterGeorgiou already tried it, gives nothing.

Try to press and hold volume up and power simultaneously and connect to pc. I managed to recover my XV that way.
If it doesnt work, take battery out and in and retry.
Good luck!!

Still nothing :/
Second question: is there any chance that if I send it for a guarantee, sony experts won't find that my phone was modificated?

All you have to do is put the phone in fastboot mode and use Flashtool to flash a stock kernel or the kernel for your ROM if you're on a Custom ROM, which is the first thing a repair shop will do if you tell them what you did and/or if they really are "experts". You should google how to put your phone in fastboot mode since I've already heard about several people saying they've ruined their phone when in fact they just have no idea how to put it into fastboot/flash mode properly.
If they manage to boot up the phone they will see that you've at the very least rooted your phone and installed apps that require root, so you might want to consider that.

If I was able to put my phone in fastboot mode, I wouldn't make this thread. Main reason of creating this topic is that I can't access my phone in any way including many combinations of keys, disconnecting battery etc.

I know, I'm just saying because, just as you, I've seen other people make threads because they say they can't do this and that, and then it turns out they just don't know what they are doing. You wouldn't be the first person who couldn't get into fastboot mode, when in fact, didn't know how to get into fastboot mode, which is why I reminded you, because if a Sony Service Center does in fact boot up your phone and see you have rooted, that might most likely void your warranty and you'd have to pay; so it's best if you really figure out if you actually know how to get into fastboot/flash mode.

It's a boot.img from Omni ROM dated on 09.23.2014. Rom I've installed is WhiteNeo's NeoWave based on CM11.

NeoWave is based on Omnirom... not CM11.
Boot.img had to be installed by Flashtool or manually in bootloader mode.
The only way is to connect to PC pressing volume UP.
Power+volumeUP is a good way to reset a wrong kernel.
No sign from your phone? No blue light?
Have you tried to change usb cable? To change PC?
If there's no red light when you connect the recharger, it's a bad sign though

Sorry, my bad.
Haven't switched USB cable (I've got only one), but I'm sure it works because I've checked it on my secondary phone.
Tried to do it on PC and also on my laptop, both don't work.
And a really bad thing is that when I connect my phone to recharger there's no red light.

Perhaps you need to find a way to recharge your battery because it's to low for anything to happen?
Someone should inform the Flashify developer that his app bricks our phones.. Perhaps he can add some kind of device check to prevent this in future.

There are some chargers like that on the market.
The question is if you want to invest the money and give it a try.

Or just buy a new battery, which has always a little charge before installation.
A wrong kernel doesn't allow to recharge and the battery may discharge quickly, that's true, but the fact that after rebooting there was no sign is a very bad thing.
Maybe the battery was suddenly fried... who knows.. Yeah, give it a try.

I don't think so because this happened to me long ago when I tried to unlock bootloader.But I did something to the driver to work adb properly and it worked.And now I forgot that method and couldn't find in google also.So I'm really in big trouble.I just don't know why when I want to flash the stock rom and flashtool show in popup to power off the phone and press vol down button and connect to computer using usb cable but vol button don't work or not give any signal to computer.So I can't flash the rom.

Go to sony official site and download drivers.. ZR drivers dont exist but you can use drivers for Z, install those on your computer and use the fastboot method again and you should be fine.. Your phone is only soft bricked.. Hard brick is when there are absolutely no life in the phone at all.. Use a boot.img you know will work and no need to flash stock ROM once you're in recovery.. Unless you want to of course.. Custom ROM will boot your phone just fine
Also take your battery out and re-insert to make sure your phone is properly off.. Flashtool should also work after that

ZR driver exist in Sony developer website and I installed the driver but I don't know why my computer not recognizing my phone.My phone can turn into fastboot mode(blue light on when pressing vol up and connecting cable to pc) but when I type command "adb devices" the listed device is empty I mean no adb fastboot device found.I'm just asking the drivers are not working beacuse of windos 10?Actually when after I use custom rom I couldn't connect my phone to pc.So any driver can fix this problem?I searched really hard on google but couldn't find any proper sloutions.

Windows 10 is a pain to install drivers into.. But use fastboot in flashtool instead of flasmode.. Should recognize your phone and flash the boot image from there

I know you are trying to help me but I tried everything and nothing is working.I installed driver from flashtool but still no clue why pc not recognizing my phone.My phone is like a live junk.My phone soft bricked many times and I could recover my phone with flashtool so I know what to do but this problem is way more confusing.I just need to know what is causing this issue.

You've managed to install the drivers inc the lagan drivers in flashtool and connected your phone in fastboot mode with flashtool running and flashtool still don't recognize your phone? I've done that loads of times even with no drivers installed and flashtool has been able to recognize the device in fastboot.. If that's the case, then I'm sorry I'm not able to help any further as flashtool has always been my failsafe when things have gone wrong.. Adb and fastboot are usually no help for me in Windows 10..

Flashtool is the best tool to recover soft bricked phone I know but this problem is way more complicated.

My problem was created because local charger damaged my phone battery.So I couldn't turn on my device like yours.I replaced the battery and charger from Sony Center and now my phone is good as new.So Try to use other good battery(small or similer size that suites to your phone's battery pin)and see if your phone turns on without any issue.Then you can target the problem.
