Ooops.
Leave the phone off, connect it in fastboot mode (I know you said it did not work, but that might just be the LED, please try it again) and then run this
Code:
fastboot devices
and tell me what it says

did you try what I said?

hello greg, hows the z1, hope you enjoy it
thanks for your many many support to all questions here, hope it wasnt that frustrated when people not tried out what you suggested :silly:
to sash89: you unlocked bootloader, and flashed an cm img kernel? that let me comes to another question. you flashed that kernel above a stock rom, or you flashed CM ROM also?

Hi
The Z1 is great, I recommend it.
Yes, it does help if people try things you suggest.

but where i must enter that code?in cmd?or where?

yes, open up a command window where you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC.
If you do not have them installed then download and install this
minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe - 2.12 MB

By definition a hard brick is not recoverable.
OK, try this.
Code:
adb devices
and tell me what that says.
Also, download and install flashtool from the first thread in the dev section. Open the driver folder from the installation path and run drivers.exe. Choose flashmode, fastboot and TX drivers.
Then run flashtool and attach the phone, disconnect and try attaching in flashmode, disconnect and try to attach in fastboot. Then copy and paste the output from flashtool here.
One final thing, try to attach again in flashmode but this time do this.
Press and hold volume up, attach USB cable, keep pressing volume up and now press the power button. Hold both buttons for 10 seconds or until the green LED comes on. Tell me what happens.

Your warrenty is void because you unlocked the bootloader.

oh one more thought from me. you sure your battery wasnt gone empty while you did flashing stuff?
happened to me one time, restored backup and battery gone empty while in the process. it looked dead too for some time, but wasnt.

and what is this meaning man?my battery was something like 18 percent when i flashed...so may the battery be broken?anyway when i put the phone into charge without battery red led flashes for one time...what this means?

when you put charger in, is it loading the battery the usual way like it did before you broke your handy?
also you not answered one of my previous posts, you flashed the CM kernel without flashing any CM rom. you on stock sony rom or on cm when mistake happens?

[Q] Doesn´t charge while power off (also no flashmode/fastboot)

Well I explain you my problem.
Since I installed last saturday the last 4.3 ROM thanks to Doomlord, I noticed my phone doesn´t charge while in power off, it just doesn´t respond to the cable charger, I tried with several cables, wall chargers, via PC,... with no result, also looking for a solution I also noticed it doesn´t also respond to comands with volume buttons so it can not boot to flashmode and fastboot using the normal way.
booting to flashmode or Flashmode is not an issue as I found a way of doing it actually a couple of them, I will explain them just in case somebody is in a similar problem than me...
Via software Using flashtool (flash/fastboot) the aplication can force the phone to boot in fastboot via adb, using PCcompanion, (flash/repair) when it checks the phone after downlodaing the firmware it forces the phone to reboot in flashmode (in my case it doesn´t it just powers off and gets stucked but just pressing the power button it does, once booted in flashmode you can open flashtool and flash the desired ROM)
Via Hardware As I said it doesn´t respond when I plug in the cable but with the cable connected to the computer and pressing volume UP/down and power until it vibrates it will boot to flashmode or fastboot.
Now lets go back to my main problem...
I have being doing several things in order to solve it with no luck...
1º flash .278 kernel with recovery thanks to sj8023ld
2º Downgrade to .145 Xperiment custom ROM
3º Downgrade to .141 oficial using flashtool (result bootloader allowed: no" when it was unlocked before)
4º Flash again .141 with flashtool (bootloader again unlocked)
5º relock bootloader and flash with PCcompanion (flash/repair)
6ºFlash .145 oficial using Flashtool
7º Unlock bootloader, Root (easyrooting toolkit Doomlord) and CWM V9 by davidmarco.
Now I am again in 4.3 leaked with root and .278 kernel
After doing all this I couldn´t find a solution, Do you know guys if I can do anything else?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance

No, sorry, when powered on it is recognized as normal and on power off it is not detected at all

I have problems in my stock fw with charging while powered off. Does not at all, quite the inconvenience. However if you hold the power button my charge light comes on until my phone has enough juice to power up (well it doesn't have enough juice ever, but I quickly put into airplane mode till it charges a but more...)

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!!!

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

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

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,

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

If there is no response then stick it on charge for 24 hours, do not touch it then try flashing a stock FTF again

Greg is trying to help you mate.
And he's right, there's a time difference and you have to wait for guys to see your thread...
Check do you have latest flashtool
Check do you have correct drivers
Check is your ftf corrupted (download a new one)
, hard restart your device (vol up+power).
Open flashtool and hit start, wait till flashtool prepares fw and ask you to connect device.
Then connect device.
If that won't work, try to download another ftf file...
Maybe you have corrupted ftf and that's causing a problem...

Uff...
Are you sure you restored right/yours TS backup?
I have a friend who restored Z1 TA backup to Z2, this things happen so who knows...
It's really odd if you restored your backup on stock fw and something like that happened..
Now I realized you wrote "I had flashtool problems..."
I thought you have problems in flashtool now, that's why I said try with another ftf or another flashtool version...
If you got that, and you did, while you were flashing ftf....I believe you are, unfortunately, right, this is hard brick.
BTW - which firmware you tried to flash?

you need to be on a stock kernel if you relock the bootloader.
You should have flashed a stock FTF immediately after relocking and before restarting.
The solution is to flash a stock FTF
and you have not done this yet

I tried to install magisk using bridge approach

--Have a ROM ( stock or custom ) with Magisk installed.
My plan :
-- Flashtool install 4.4 FTF
-- _______________ <----- Need help here. How do I get magisk working ?
Note that AFAIK for locked bootloader , /system is RO
