Xperia Z keeps rebooting on 'Sony' - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I have the same problem, my device get a red light at the top right corner, and it vibrates.
What should I do, if flashing the phone is not working?

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.

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts
you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

yes my friend i don't no why LED red flashes and I see no soltion for hard brick Xperia Z1 I contacted a few friends they told me that you would expect when the integration in the Box JITAG to repair the boot
connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 or 15 seconds > let it charge for 3 hours > after 3 hours > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds
p.s u can write in black to red is for attention...

[Q] Don't know what to do with C6603.. HElP!

Hello Guys..
I need your help... Problem with my Xperia z C6603.
phone able to:
Vibrate 1 and 3x when power and + button used.
With led notification.
Problems:
can't turn on my phone
when charging Until sony logo only then turn off
when turn on sony logo and red notification then turn on
I Tried:
Flashing many times already-still the same problem
Emma- Still the same
SUS-Cant use...notify until July 1 etc.
PC companion-unable to update error
S1tool- error 01000000
What should i do, what is the problem?
Need help please..followed all flashing instructions in xda and other forums
Try Uninstalling PC Companion and make sure all PC Companion files are deleted in your computer. Download the latest version and reinstall it. Also is your phone unlocked? And if so did you use a program called S1tool? If so uninstall that program and make sure all of S1tools files are deleted.
Now try successfully fixing your phone through PC Companion.
Done that Already.
Still no progress...when pressing the Switch Button 3x red light blinking, when charging it Sony logo comes out then Turn Off.
T_T
How did it happen?
Have you unlocked bootloader?
If not and you have TA partition backup, you can give a try to unlock your bootloader via fastboot and then flash any custom ROM

i don't realy know, i think locked because i just do what i written.

Flashed X Performance to XZ's. Won't boot, and cannot flash it again.

I was flashed X Perf. to XZs and won't work. flash mode too cannot work, only blinking green light, like a boot into flashmode and connect to pc, over and over. and nothing. pc don't see any device, like i did not booted into flashmode.
fastboot working, unlocked after bootloader, can flash, but wont flash custom rom, says size too large, before is flash properly already file.
i can erase all, can format all, twrp won't work properly. but can flash custom rom. when i flash rom, device gonna reboot over and over. and won't boot on.
i think maybe problem is in root memory of the phone, where is basic informations for next systems and data's. maybe if can someone backup all of that data's, and share, we can ressurrect our x per. who have same problem...
i don't know. if sombody knows how to ressurrect anwer there, or any help.
thanks for all

i was flash, stock xz's rom, to x performance, and thats it
any solution ???
And u have bricked phone
1. I honestly wana flash XZ rom on XZs to try! since both are very similar devices!
2. wrong kernel means! device is STUCK on black screen! / sony makes beasts, / not easily to hard brick
3. PRESS POWER + VOLUME UP keys together and hold for 15+ secons untill xzs JERKS thrice! , release both button atonce,
4. now device is FORCE SHUTDOWN out from any bad flashing!
5. try connecting it in to flashmode now! , it should work! ,
6. if you ever able to boot in XZ or X, (android 6.01) build, try extracting drmkeys from xzs , you will be doing something WONDER !!!
7. if everything fails, the rubber band trick works! , tie across (horizontally) the xzs in a way that volume downkey is always pressed by rubber band. keep it overnight. the battery will drainout to zero and device will sleep. then connect to wallcharger, charge it overnight untill u see red blinking led and finally red led then NO led. at this point try connecting your device in flash mode
NEVER BOOT AGAIN! once you are out from this kernel! whenever device shuts down, immediatel connect it in flashmode

I can tell you a nice news, you're done with SONY. I think u can only revert ur phone if u change mother board, or maybe in test mode, i was not tried, im sold my bricked phone...
If u don't do it anything, collect money and buy some other brand... I moved on S8+. Big difference bettwen SONY, and Samsung is not great eithter, they appeared in circles under touch glass, but does not bother... "Difference is big"
P.S. Never try to flash/convert phone of different model number, to another. Advice, if buying new phone, look for international version.. no Japan, or China, or Korea models. Only Inter... Like (f8131, 8132[dual-sim], SM-G955F/FD... etc) and u will ged always newest firmware, and community, if u dont have latest, than flash... (flash other region which have latest already), but now u will not brick phone. Good luck
you are 100 percent right.
by the way i flashed many sony phone converting it to international but this x performance gave me a headache now. i took it to the software repairer and according to him the boot loader file is missing and cannot be found on internet so far. so the set is bricked right now and left it like it to the repairer shop and expecting may be any solution. but i guess nothing going to change any thing
will check how much i m getting if i sell it like in this condition
