I think I was holding down the power while it was locked. it didnt reboot bus is now instead stuck with a black backlit display panel. home and return is on permanently and the charge light is also lit, despite not being plugged in.
holding down te power button for any length of time just makes the home and return flash for a minute and then back to solid.
no combination of power and volume up/down makes any difference. just flashing home and return lights.
HELP
do I just have to wait for the battery to run out?
Wait I'm a bit confused ...what current state is your phone in? Is it booted up if it is just adb that *****

it was booted up. now it's just a dark screen with backlight, home and return buttons and charge light lit
plugging in USB and runningg adb reboot just says device not found
actually- when I plug it into USB it appears as in device manager for a few seconds
adb reboot during that period gives 'device offline' rather than device not found...
I accidently removed my OS, and now I cannot boot into my bootloader.
I've tried charging the phone with it's OEM charger, and it stays stuck on the white battery charging screen until it dies again. I've tried doing it via my PC, and it charges, but I cannot do anything but boot onto the Motorola "Powered by Android" where it freezes, until I hold power and volume down, where it black screens, and restarts again. This happened after clearing my data and failing to flash an OS. After rebooting my phone, this happened. My bootloader is unlocked, but the phone isn't rooted. I've got a ROM that works, but adb is useless as my phone doesn't show up.
If you have twrp recovery Press & hold Power key& volumes up/down hold them all together.. Keep holding pressing about 10 sec or until you see little dim red light it's going to be left side upper speaker...once you see it don't let go of buttons for 8 seconds OK this is critical let go of the buttons & hold them again about 5 seconds,
TWRP recovery should show up.. If not repeat steps again. TWRP will show up.
I relocked bootloader, updated to .253, then unlocked bootloader. Right after that, I installed a rootable kernel, booted into TWRP, installed DRM restore, SuperSU 2.74, and the new Nexus launcher. It booted fine, and I set up everything to what I had before. I then decided to restart to access TWRP to reflash the Nexus launcher as it didn't show up. After the phone shut down, it began blinking red light. I tried to force shut it down, but it didn't do anything. I tried to get to fastboot and flashmode, but the blinking red light was prevalent. However, the Sony logo showed up if I mash down on volume down and power. So I doubt that my phone is dead and only accessible through QHSUSB_DLOAD. But it's pissing me off.
Any help? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and it was 40%.
Entire situation of physical input:
1) Plug in USB=Red LED
2) Power+Vol Up=Force shut down with 3 vibrations after turned on by Power+Vol Down
3) Power+Vol Down=Turns on to Sony and Xperia screen, then shuts down
4) Power=Vibrates once, turns off
I have the same issue, Could you fix it?
I'm a bit stuck with a weird case; I have a rooted Z3C(locked bootloader) which I achieved by following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
It's been working fine for 1,5 year, when suddenly a week ago after the battery was low and shut the phone down, it got stuck in a bootloop while it was charging (already over 40%).
Couldn't get it to boot into recovery mode(nor it was detected by flashtool), until after a few days I was able to acces TWRP, made a backup(still got that, as well of a backup from the TA partition from 1,5 year ago). And then wiped the phone with TWRP as well. After another attempt to boot (which didnt work) it was able to get into the clockworkmod recovery(it's a surprise how that got on there), and chose "restore". There was a blue light and the screen went black. And it did so for over 5 minutes which made me(and a "techie") think it had probably crashed, so we forced shut it off(power button + VOL up, vibrate 3 times).
Since then I'm pretty much stuck with the situation from earlier but instead of being in a bootloop, it is now stuck on the kernel logo "Sony xperia". I can't make it boot in any kind of mode, I can only force shut down by power button + Vol up. It When trying to boot by using power button + vol UP it doesn't do anything; when using power button + down, it directly gets stuck at kernel logo.
At all attempts to boot there is no LED apprearing, LED only goes on for about 5 seconds when plugged into laptop or charger, and last the phone is not detectable by flashtool(or xperia companion).
Currently following this thread and waiting for the battery to drain: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
But I wonder if that will do the fix...
In the meantime I'd like to know if there is anyone who might have some tips of what I can try?

Can you enter flash mode or fastboot?
nope, I can't enter either of them.. Unless there is a way to acces flashmode or fastboot mode without using the button combinations?
I've never stayed in your situation. Try turn off, wait the flashtools send the messenger with instructions to plug the phone, press vol. down button and plug in usb.
personally, i don't like end the whole battery in Sony's 2013>2015, because my fist sony, a M2A, after shutdown by low power, never turns on again... only tree reed lights - uhh, sony with jealous of xbox -, i change the battery and the bricks continued. Not healthy to sony hardware do this, i mean.

But if the last option, do that.
What you are discribing to do with flashtool, I already tried, it doesn't recognise the phone. I even tried "tricks" of different buttons and tempo's bu tthat doesn't help making flashtool recognise the device.
Also I was not able to make the phone completely decharge itself. This morning, after it drained the battery all night long by letting it stuck on the Sony logo, it came up with the battery empty logo when pressing power button. It is not possible for me to drain the battery even more, except if I keep pressing the power button every minute to activate the battery logo...
I tried the instructions from the link you pasted, to get it into fastboot with adb, didn't work, at the first command it already said it couldnt find the device:
C:\adb>adb reboot fastboot
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
So, when You have powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer does led on red than green and off?
And fastboot when phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb) doesn't work too yes?
@yaroszek, no when "powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer" the LED goed red for a few seconds and then goes off(no green at all), and the screen will show the Sony logo.
when trying to fastboot with "phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb)" exactly the same happens...
My phone suddenly restarted and stuck on Android One logo and not booting further. I've turned the phone off and started after few seconds and it was still stuck on Android one logo. Then I've tried to get into recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Power but it was not working. Also it's not responding to the charger. No battery sign and nothing. It does not respond to power button many times. I've also tried to get into fastboot mode (Vol down + Power) and even it was not working. Please help!
It's not rooted and didn't try to flash/install custom ROM.

Take phone to discharge batttery and automatically turn off. Plug in to charger for few minutes and press and hold volume up,volume down and power for 2/3 minutes. He should be turn off and then you can go in to recovery.
Suffering the same problem.
I'm having the same problem. Exactly what you said. I didn't root my device or even attempt to do anything. I bought Nokia because they were purely stock and delivered some quality mobile phones. I've got only this phone as my daily driver. So tell me if you have got the issue fixed and how much did it cost and how long it took. It's been stuck with that 'android one' logo and a small message that reads 'Download mode' on top. I've tried everything. And what I'm worried about is, my phone's out of warranty and I'm a student. I hope you got it fixed for some reasonable cost. Please reply to me ASAP.
