I have a hard-bricked xperia SP and I have tried everything available on xda to get it into flashmode but no luck.
So, now I am thinking about removing the battery and then try to connect it in flash mode. This worked successfully on xperia E (detachable battery) but I haven't tried it on SP yet. I was hoping if anyone of you could try this and tell me whether SP is getting in flash-mode or flashboot ?

In order to stimulate the phone to "detach" the battery you'll require to press the "off" button at the back of the phone, under the cover; for about 20 seconds.
Are you sure everything? I don't have experience with hard bricks, but I do have a recommendation. Please refer here.
This is the third time I have bricked my device and this time it is different from the previous two times. My phone isn't responding to any hardware combinations, Only red leds. That's why I can't get into fastboot or flash mode.

Red led is due to phone not being charged. Charge the phone for few hours then flash the ftf file

I tried that but phone isn't charging because I have screwed my kernel. It just goes into loops of red led on and off after 10 to 15 minutes.

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?
Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Sorry,
Rooted
Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific
Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool
Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work
Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device
Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up
run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..
Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer
what computer do you have?
Windows 8?
Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?
seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers
Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening
Try another computer

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...
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.
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

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 whipe options ticked in flashtools
Hope I.helped
