[Q] Bricked Xperia Z, help please?

I've looked through all the threads and nothing's worked for me yet, so this is my last resort.
I somehow messed up flashing CM 10 from the free xperia project and my phone would only get to recovery. I then tried to re-flash the advanced stock kernel which I had on there before, but then I lost recovery too. I could only get to fastboot and flashmode. I tried SUS but got nowhere because I have modified firmware on the device. I tried using flashtool to re-install stock firmware but it got stuck on flashing data, so I closed the window. I think this must have been a big mistake because now I can't even get into fastboot mode. I still get the device connected sound when I plug it into my computer. It then disconnects and reconnects a few times, before finally disconnecting.
What should I do?
Edit: I've suddenly managed to get into fastboot mode (blue LED), is this all that is needed?

He cannot because of unlocked bootloader.
Emma or flashtool is the options left.

Isn't SUS (Sony Updater Service) the repair tool? I couldn't use it because it wouldn't let me - I had modified firmware on the device and it detected that. Anyway, I actually managed to get it fixed. I was unfortunately using the wrong version of flashtool. I was using 0.9.10.1 whereas 0.9.10.2beta4 is needed for the Xperia Z. The earlier version would get stuck on flashing data. I then just flashed the stock firmware and it worked fine. What was really odd though was sometimes it would enter flash mode fine (pressing volume up while connecting USB) but other times it wouldn't. I think this might have been because it was getting low on charge.

Need Help.

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!!!

Did you try to hard reset it? Try to press power and vol up.
What to you mean with xperia flasher? Download a .ftf file and use flashtool

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

Sorry my bad. You were right.

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

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?

Help - I can't access my phone

I wanted to have a more secure phone so I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt it... wrong. I waited around 40 minutes for the device to fully encrypt then I went to decrypt my phone and it doesn't decrypt and instead just reboots and asks to be decrypted again. I have tried the sony update service, followed all the steps and when it tries to install the s1 bootloader it fails instantly.
I really need to access my phone >.<
Thank you,
Exiler18

You used flashtool aswell? It will fully reset and reflash your device but this will erase all data.

It literally just starts up like normal and then goes to decrypt your phone screen.

Okay this means it is not bricked but just stuck.
Turn off your phone and connect it into Flashmode (Plug in cable and hold power down untill you see a green led) to your computer.
If I'm right windows (I assume you are running windows) will start installing drivers. After that reboot computer and follow my tutorial again

Reflash stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=52630436 useing flashtools http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1943886.
After doing this if you want to put a custom recovery on the phone I would suggest you flash Dooms kernel from here in fastboot mode, you can get it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52653410.
If you then want to re-root the phone flash chainfire's update SU zip from recovery, this can be obtained here: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip, then download the SuperSU app from the google store.
Just a quick note, Dooms kernel only works on stock firmware.
Hopes this helps :fingers-crossed:

No. I have installed xperia tx drivers

Go to the falshtools folder, in there is a folder named drivers, install the exe, when it prompts you select all the drivers, really can't hurt you.
Open the flashtools application and click on the lighting icon and select fastboot mode, click on browse and direct it to where your downloaded firmware is the select flash, wait for it to prompt you to connect your phone, at this point hold down the vol down button and connect the USB, wait for all to flash then unplug the USB and boot your phone.
Sorry if you know how to do any of the above just making sure I cover all steps

Have you tried to repair it via pc companion? If you unlock your bootloader in that situation you will lose your drm keys. It's just soft bricked. How did you install cmw?

I forgot about the digital rights management, seeming all the music I buy gets converted to lossless you can see why it never crossed my mind.
Ok, if you still want to use flashtools, unlock the bootloader here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
If not open pc companion, click on how to connect my phone, a screen will pop up, click on repair phone, and follow the instructions.

I don't know if things are different with the T and V, but I've used Flashtools on my TX while having a locked bootloader... so I don't know how much truth there is to that statement; correct me if I'm wrong.

After flashing doomkernel you stuck in to the bootloop?
Reinstall flashtool and the drivers and try it again.
Just for your information: SUS and PCC method won't work because the unlocked bootloader. You can just use EMMA and flashtool to repair your XZ now.

You were replying to a post that concerned Flashtool failing to flash, so by logic I assumed that your question concerned that only.
Anyway, no need for the sarcasm with the rolleyes emoji. There was no malice in my post. I was simply passing on information that you may find useful in future.
