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.

Yes you can use flashtool even if usb debugging is off.

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).

Returning to stock
Hey guys,
I've flashed [ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1][AOKP-MR1][PananoidAndroid 3.15] PAC v22.1.1 - Update: 0508 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249&page=65. It's working, but I'd like to try another ROM, specifically Xperia Z Revolution™ from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903. This requires to install stock 10.1.A.1.434 firstly So I downloaded C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Generic DE, NL, world. Flashing with Flashtools 0.9.10.1 always stucks at 0%.
BL unlocked. Does anyone have any idea how to get stock 434 in the phone? Originally there were older one 10.1.A.1.340, if it's somehow important to know...
hi all,
i have an xperia z c6603 lcoked,
i successfuly installed cwm on it, after that i tried to install a custon rom on it,
i enter recovery, wipped data/cache and installed from zip the zip
it wrote installed successfuly, without poping up the aroma installer (maybe this is my first problem, maybe i broked the stock rom )
but now when i'm trying to turn on / enter recovery nothing happend, only a blinking red led even when i puted it on charge
how can i fix this problem
Hold volume up + power for 10 seconds, then release them. Now, hold volume up and plug it into a PC via USB. You could probably use Flashtool now to flash a FTF file of your region. That should fix it.
thanks for your answer,
i have the blue led but usb not detected as debugging mod, will this work ?
should i worry about the led blinking ? i was on flashing roms on my old S3 , sony is more complicated ...
thanks dude

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

@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.

You can try to leave your phone to charge whilst holding button's combination for the night (VOL+/VOL-/BOTH (i don't remember, somebody if know - please correct me)).
After that maybe your phone will be able even to enter the fastboot mode

Its on charge for more than 3 hours.
Your phone might be powered on but be unresponsive. Hold power and volume up for 15 seconds. The phone should vibrate once at about 10 seconds. Keep holding the keys for another 5 seconds and it should vibrate 3 times and power off.
You should then be able to connect in flashmode/fastboot and get your device booting.

This happened to me when I accidentally flashed a Xperia z1 ftf to my Xperia z all I had to do was get a full stock Xperia z ftf get Flash tools ready and when it says to plug phone in flash mode you press and hold all 3 buttons (power,vol+and vol-) all at the same time till it vibrates once then let go of the power button and vol+ but keep holding vol - while plugging in the usb cable this will boot your phone into flash mode
And remember to have all wipe options ticked in flashtools

Did you try the hard power off key combination that I suggested above? If the phone is powered on but unresponsive, then you cannot connect in flashmode. It needs to be powered off.
Out of interest, which kernel did you flash?

Did you try the hard power off key combination that I suggested above? If the phone is powered on but unresponsive, then you cannot connect in flashmode. It needs to be powered off.
Out of interest, which kernel did you flash?

Yeah tried those power buttons but no use.
I flashed hodor kernel and then eXistenZ Ultimate 3.0.0 .

Your phone might be powered on but be unresponsive. Hold power and volume up for 15 seconds. The phone should vibrate once at about 10 seconds. Keep holding the keys for another 5 seconds and it should vibrate 3 times and power off.
You should then be able to connect in flashmode/fastboot and get your device booting.

Much Thanks ! your method work for my dead Xperia Tablet Z .. May god bless you
Nothing is happening , phone vibrates on pressing vol up + power button while charging
What did you do before? Were you in a stock ROM or AOSP based? Did you try to install any mod before it happened? Did you try flashing a stock firmware using flashtool? We need more info to help.
My phone bricked while charging

Only blue notification light was blinking on my phone , no booting
I send my phone to the seller since it was an imported phone ,they opened my phone and I don't know what they did . They sent back the phone saying it is out of warranty and now no notification lights are blinking
The phone will only vibrate when pressing vol+ and power button combination while plugged in nothing else will happen

So you never used the phone, right? Try to charge it and flash the latest stock firmware (use flashtool).
not detected

My phone is not detected By Flash tool and not charging
Try flashing stock firmware using flashtool. While you connect phone to pc u should hold volume down and then power button (flashmode). Just go through YouTube for flashing stock firmwares for z1.
Tried those things
