So here is the situation.
I want to get back to stock by repairing via SEUS, also to preparing for 4.3 update.
So i Relock bootloader and repair it via SEUS. But my phone only have 16% battery. I still turn it off and plug in SEUS. After more than 1 hours of downloading Firmware, it started to flash.
After starting for a bit, it shows an error and tell me that flashing failed. try charging the phone to 100% and then try again.
So I try connecting the phone to the charger. The LED shows red, but after like 1 minute, it turn to green and then the screen shows SONY. A few seconds later the phone turned off and LED shows red again. It just keep doing these proccesses again and again.
I try pulling the battery out and repair via SEUS but same error shows up.
Try to flash via Flashtool,show error 31: I dont remember, ill add this info later.
What should I do now ( I saved so long to be able to afford this phone!
Charge the battery 100 % full, which means 12 h our longer. Not that it's my idea, it has been said numerous times.
I learned never doing anything on the phone with less than 20 % charge, not even removing or adding an .apk or clearing dalvic, flashing a ROM no less than 80 %.

Please Help - Xperia V won't boot up, even in flashmode
I am having the same issues as well, but with my Xperia V. It doesn't come up at all. It only shows the green LED when I try to fastboot or flash mode. Please help me to resolve. I can't stand the wait for waranty to resolve. How can I still flash custom ROM?

Yes. I learnt that. It shows the blue led when I press and hold the volume up button. I don't seem to see any signs that it is in fastboot mode. I can't even root it. Though i've been able to flash stock ROM.

Custom ROM: FXP312
I have zero percent battery.
when i plug in the charger, red led shows up for 5 minutes.
afterwards, the phone boots up comes to home screen and shuts down because of low battery(0%).
this keeps on repeating.
how to fix this?

so which method worked for you?

Yes that lack of off line charging for some custom ROMS almost made me send my phone in to repair. This was made worse by the fact that the build of CM I was on didn't allow you to boot into recovery (you could only reboot into recovery)
What I did.
Take the back cover of and have a pen ready so that you can use the hard power off function.
Prep your computer with flashtool open, drivers installed etc. – so that you can flash doom kernel as quickly as possible (you may only have 20 or so seconds).
1. Charge your dead phone, but AS SOON as begins to power up use your pen to power it down until it vibrates three times,
2. At this point you’ll hopefully have enough charge to enter fastboot mode, if not repeat stage 1. you may have to repeat stage 1. three or four times. If yes, flash doom kernel – do it quickly.
3. Go back to stage 1. But instead of powering off, see if you can boot in to CWM recovery, because the SP can be charged in CWM – if you can get into CWM all is good.
thanks both of you !
now im able to get into cwm but theres no led light indicating its charging.
hope its charging.
ill update you in 20 minutes
If you can get into CWM see if you can flash the offline charging fix appropriate to the ROM you're using (just to be sure).
so i got my battery up again!
but i have another question now.
after i installed doomlord kernel i had to reinstall fxp323.
else it was bootlooping.
now the doomlord kernel is gone.
how do i keep both?
Doom lords kernel is only for stock ROMs, I don't think cm kernels allow you to charge in cwm which is why I recommended it. Just flash the offline charging fix and you'll never have this problem again.

Hi,
Recently my Sony Xperia Z device is showing some issues. One of them (to start with) is that the battery is dropping really hard from for example 40 percent to 13 percent. The strange thing is that it also goes up from (for example) 43 percent to 50 percent. These issues started when my phone got really warm from lying in the sun for a short period. It also doesn't charge properly when it is on the charger.
Now the real problem is that yesterday my phone got out of battery and it wont start up anymore. When I try to start up by holding the power button I don't get any response from it. When I put it on the charger it keeps restarting/rebooting on the 'Sony' logo. The device keeps doing this without doing anything else.
I've tried to flash the device with the Sony Update Service, without any luck.
I am really out of ideas and I'm hoping that you guys could help me.
Greetings,
Kay.

Maybe get your battery replaced, it's not expensive to do so and it improves the battery life as well since the used batteries get worse overtime.

You can pull individual SINs out of the FTF and flash them via fastboot mode.

If you can't boot normally, can't get into recovery, and can't get into fastboot, you have no option for soft recovery. You'll have to replace the motherboard. I'm not really convinced you've hard bricked the device, but without having the device in my hands, I can't tell you what to try.
Research more on how other people have recovered from soft bricks and make sure you are doing everything correctly.

When the red light turns on, only for a few minutes, your device isn't realy dead. Try to charge for a few hours with the wallplug. If you have a magnetic charging cable, use this.

It's definitely a good sign.
You said it does this when you connect to your laptop. What happens when you connect it to just the OEM wall charger? The laptop will try to communicate with the phone, which may cause it stop stop charging after a few minutes or boot into fastboot, which will waste power.
You can try using flashtool to go into fastboot mode, maybe you can flash that you. I do not know if fastboot automatically turns off after 2-3 minutes (could explain what you are seeing), but before trying to flash anything be extremely certain that the phone is reasonably well charged.
Open Flashtool
Download your preferred FTF using XperiaFirm (via Flashtool)
Flash the stock FTF on your phone and sdo a full wipe (tick all checkboxes at the upper left side)
Warning! This will erase data!
Note: In order for you to flash a FTF using Flashtool, it will prompt you to press VOL DOWN while the phone is off so this answers your question:
... if there is any way to completely clean my system and other partions without turning the phone on or booting into recovery mode and flash a completely clean ftf ...

Most probably a software problem. If it's not holding enough charge it will not boot at some time. By boot loops do yo mean trying to boot and then reboot or not booting at all after some time and just flashing red led? Explain what is the exact behavior of the phone. Flash .207 firmware with flashtool and check if the problem still persist.

this is how the problem goes:
Full charge: 100% working, if i take the phone under charge i can do quiete anything and i got no problems.
-after some hours (charge close 70%): the phone starts act slow, and some apps crash until the phone restart itself. this reboot never work until i put under charge, so this is the boot loop that i was talking about.
So: charge 70%--->restart---->bootloop---->charge reach green light--->work normally
you suggest me an original firmware to flahs ?
Flash the latest stock rom 4.3 AU .207 with flashtool maybe this could solve your problem

It's not my first time to flashing roms. But this time i think phone dead. Here is the story: I installed cm12 and wipe system flash cm 14 adn finally today i flashed cm13 and i loved it. But when i opened file explorer i see internal storage is 2gb(before flashing it is 10gb). When i opened TWRP 3.0.2 i see another legacy sd partition. I think if i will format this partition i can get 10gb internal storage back. And i formatted legacy sd using twrp. But when i push reboot system now phone turned off and never go back. no any red or green light. I'm sure phone have min 50% charge and battery new(not battery problem). I tried remove battery but it is not work. When connect it to pc see this on bottom right corner ''QHSUSB_DLOAD'' and no driver found and no any light on phone. What can i do now? Flash tool and Emma dont recognize device.

Hi! i have de same problem right know... i format de lagacy sd and now is bricked like your phone.
Did you solve IT?
Hi. Generally when the phone doesn't respond, you had to consider it hard bricked, and there's no solution that you can apply without putting the hands on the Hardware. My advice is to try let it charging for 24+ hours and see if something happens. For example if the led turns on, probably you are in soft brick and you can bring it back to life. There's a tread here in XDA explaining the importance of charging cycles for the late 2012 Sony devices.
In my case I couldn't flash nothing on xperia T until I haven't let it charging for 25 hours straight. Then I was able to bring it back to life.
Hope you can do the same. In any case, good luck.
I might be reckoning wrong, but I believe I've recovered my T several times using stock firmware in such case.. Then go again with CM or whatever.

after+ 12hr of charging i see blinked red every 2 mint .... what can ido for this ??plz help sorry for bad english
Sorry for the late reply. Its a good sign, so now you know your phone its not hard bricked. There's hope!!! Let it charge for other 12+ hours and you should see the blinking red led becoming continuous. Then you could try flashing a kernel and a custom recovery, if it works you can try flashing a ROM. Alternatively you can try to flash a stock ROM via flashtool.
Anyway now you know the phone it's alive, keep trying and you will able to bring it back to life.
Many thanks for you pro.... but usb not recognized or appear like "Qualcomm driver ..any advice ....any way I could leave it in charger and try again....Thanks for ur reply...
Maybe you can try, if you didn't already, to install the latest Sony flashtool, browse the installation folder, search for drivers and use the installation tool to reinstall the blue board 3 drivers (if you are using win 10 you may need to disable the driver signature to install the drivers properly).
I got the same problem with my Xpetia T, here I will report the steps I followed:
1. The phone didn't respond to any command, even to hard reset (pressing power button and volume + for 10s until you don't feel 3 vibrations, not recommended to do that, but I was a little frustrated).
2. I let it charging for a bit then I tried to flash a stock ftf file ( Installing the drivers just how I explained at the beginning) via flashtool. I managed to put the phone in flash mode but the procedure failed when the program started to flash the system file.
3. So I let it charge for 25h: in the first 5h no led showed up, then blinking red led, then continuous red led and finally continuous green led.
4. After that I retried to flash a stock ROM via flash tool but the procedure failed again when it was flashing the file system.
5. So I made a desperate try: I flashed all partitions but system via flash tool, then I extracted the system partition opening the ftf file with a zip manager and I used the fastboot functionality in flashtool to flash the system partition.
6. After I did that, I didn't see any improvement and I decided to put the phone in charge again and..... The kernel battery charging symbol appeared!!!
7. I let the phone charge over night then I booted it up! He booted in provisory mode and I managed to turn on USB debug and I gave permissions to my PC.
8. Then I installed TWRP via adb and so Linage 14.1 custom ROM.
The only problem I found it's my battery is practically dead, so I will try to replace it by my self in near future (this phone as known battery issues)
This is the method I followed, I don't know if is equally good for your case but I Hope this steps somehow help you.
