[Q] Xperia Z possible brick

After searching around I couldn't find anything related so here's my problem.
After succesfully unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia Z it continues to work fine.
It prompted the initial startup screen (enter language, account info ect.)
I turned my device off and on... this is where the problem starts..
This is what i get
Sony brand logo>
Xperia brand logo>
5 repeated cloud animation of xperia logo and at the last one it stalls, Phone reboot and back to 0.
This goes on repeatedly until a hard poweroff or complete discharge ( I suppose)
So I know im kinda screwed, is relocking the bootloader any option? Contacting Sony atm for some sort of software replacement/flash anything..
Cheers, Geert

Try the safe mode,keep pressing vol down with power until the phone boot completely.
If the phone boot to safe mode than do a factory reset.

Welcome to XDA
you should go to the recovery thread in my signature. Read the first 2 posts.
Hope you recover your phone.

Hi everyone !
I have the same problem as GeertNool. My Xperia is stuck in the same loop. I have tried everything.
- Flashboot : stuck at 0% when i try to flash
- Pc Companion and SEUS = dead ends
- Safe mode : cant make it work
I read the recovery thread. It seems that the Kernel is malfunctioning but i dont understand what should be my next move. Am i supposed to let the phone reboot endlessly untill eventually the battery dies ?
Thanks a lot for your precious answers.

Yes.
When the battery dies the phone should reset itself.
After the loops end plug into a charger, not pc for now.
You should get a red led indicating low battery level charging is working.
After the red led you may get Sony boot screen or bootloops.
If you get Sony and then the charging battery icon, then charge to over 50%. Then use pc companion or flashtool to restore.
If you get bootloops then read my 2nd post from the recovery thread in my signature for bootloop tricks.
Please let me know if it works. I am looking to add the Xperia Z to my recovery guide.
If there are any questions about my guide please ask in that thread.
Thanks

Try this: hold power and VolUp for about 15 seconds. The device should vibrate 3 times in a row. It should now be off. Don't plug it in anywhere.
Download the correct flashtool beta for xperia z http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907

i will try to flash it using flashtool. thanks for your help mate

had the same problem and i managed to fix it just showing sony sign by installing the sony update programme on the sony update website
all you do is put phone into flashboot mode.
on mine i had to hold up and power button untill it vibrates 3 times then press down volume button to get it into flashboot mode
takes a few atempts but it worked.
takes around 20 mins to download then install another 10.
i couldnt get flashtool to flash firmware as my phone is locked on 3 mobile firmware locked bootloader
i hope this helps you

update:
schaggo method works. i can breath now. thanks to @gm007

This worked great for unbricking mine !!
P.S. don't waste time for Sony's Emma flash, they do not send login credentials in real time, site says they do manual user validation ...

I have the same issue here, the phone suddenly dead. Charge it using AC adaptor and wall socket and the red led flashs for about 2 hours, the orange LED never turns on. Try your advice and got this:
1) Vol up + Power not work (no vibration, nothing)
2) Flash with flashtool 0.9.10.2 beta6 with no lucky, indicated "device disconnected" after animation gone.
3) regress to flashtool 0.9.10.1, device connected and then stuck at "flashing data.....", the progress bar stay at 0% and then nothing.
P.S. bootloader is still locked but phone is ROOTED so I'm affraid it's out of warranty. Just got the phone as a birthday gift from my wife yesterday! She'd kill me if she knows that.
Update:
1) Power + Vol Up works now. The sequence does matter, I found I have to press the Power button first and then Vol Up, it dosen't work vise versa.
2) flashing still doesn't work for me. And I noticed that the LED turn green and then turn off immediately. I'm not sure if that is the cause. I'm sure when in fastboot mode (connect to USB port when pressing Vol Up), the LED turn blue and stay blue. Is my flash mode corrupted?? That's really bad!

Try sony update service or remove flashtool and install again and use another firmware(maybe the first one is corrupted).

Returning to stock
Hey guys,
I've flashed [ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1][AOKP-MR1][PananoidAndroid 3.15] PAC v22.1.1 - Update: 0508 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249&page=65. It's working, but I'd like to try another ROM, specifically Xperia Z Revolution™ from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903. This requires to install stock 10.1.A.1.434 firstly So I downloaded C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Generic DE, NL, world. Flashing with Flashtools 0.9.10.1 always stucks at 0%.
BL unlocked. Does anyone have any idea how to get stock 434 in the phone? Originally there were older one 10.1.A.1.340, if it's somehow important to know...

Accidently Flashed Doom kernel I Bricked my Sony Xperia TL LT30at

I accidentally flashed the doom kernel that I forgot to delete off of my phone when trying to flash something else now my phone won't turn on. When I try to power it on it just vibrates and when I try to boot into recovery it just vibrates 3 times. Every now and then I can get the led to light up when it's being charged and I'm holding the power button. But still doesn't power on fully.

Try to flash stock ftf or another kernel via flashtool.

Actually, if all you flashed was a wrong kernel, then you don't need to reflash a whole ftf with flashtool, given your bootloader is unlocked. Only flash the correct kernel in fastboot mode:
Unplug und plug in the USB-cable. Hold Vol+ and the ON-button at the same time for a couple seconds until you feel a single vibration. Let go of the ON-button but keep the Vol+ pressed. You should be in fastboot mode again indicated by the blue LED.
If that works, you can reflash the original kernel.elf or boot.img with fastboot in order to get the phone working again. That way you won't loose any data.

i've just done the same thing

did you fix it?

Hold Vol+ and connect the usb cable that is the right way of Fastboot mode. The Flashtool mode is HOLD Vol- and connect the cable.

Lt30at bootloader isn't unlockable. So I think you should flash stock kernel only.

I didn't think it would even flash to brick because the boot loader wouldn't allow it to even write there, so is it even booting into recovery or flashmode?

Really appriciate for your helping comments....
but.
how do i suppose to do that, where no power no led and no response from FlashTools....?
please give some instruction Step by Step
I already have CM11 (4.4) kitkat with Gapps.
but how to give the kernel for cm11 4.4?
thnks...mate

Hey, first to answer your question, the CM 11 kernel is inside the ROM .zip called "boot.img". So just to understand you, you have had eXistenZ Ultra 1.3.7 (which is in case no ROM but a kind of update) and then you Installed mahdi ROM over it, right? And now your phone is like dropped into a pool. If so the chance to reanimate your phone is unfortunately very low. I heard about a USB-JIG and J-TAG which can help but don't know if that works.
Nevertheless, I hope I could help a little bit and good luck

@shojeep, first, calm down! Most of Sony's devices only brick when you try to do something with TA partition...
If you tried to flash a wrong kernel it will only softbrick.
first, breathe a little, keep calm and in hope is gonna work.
Now, with all the calm of the world,try the following: hold the glory hole poweroff button for 10 seconds (located on the back cover of the phone)
next, you will connect usb cable on phone (DONT CONNECT THE OTHER SIDE ON PC, JUST USB ON PHONE)
then, you have to hold just the vol+ button by 10 seconds, and NOW you connect the usb on PC. Phone should be detected by Windows 7.
now you open flashtool, and see if the phone is being detected by FlashTool.
if yes, hold power button until phone vibrates. Now you connect the phone on the pc holding vol- button to enter on flashmode
flash this: 2.254 kernel , and later flash the full ftf 2.254 to the phone.
hope it works.

I think what should be focused on first is getting juice back in that battery. Plug it in to the charger and let it sit for a few hours (like, at least 8 hours). It may boot loop but maybe it will still get some juice? (not sure about this..). Then you can try again to get into Flashmode. (Are you experienced in flashing stock FTF's with flashtool?)

no... i let it charge for a little and tried the volume up plus power buttom it vibrated but boot it back to sony screen.

Go to the original post in this thread and click the Edit Post button. Then near the Save button should be a "Go Advanced" button. You can edit the thread title in there. Glad to hear it worked out for you.

It's hard bricked. NEVER try to flash a recovery from your phone.
I had to learn that to, I hardbricked my beloved Xperia T that way...

Same thing I want to ask him. If he is able to do that then he flash through flashtool

@psycho-punk I don't think i can get into fastboot mode
I hold the volume up button and then plug it in to the computer
However the computer couldn't detect my phone
There is no blue LED too
I don't even know whether the phone is now ON or OFF
It's just black screen no matter what buttons i press
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hold volume up,down and power key together
There will be one vibration after that there will be three continuous vibrations.
try using flash tool after that by putting your phone in flash mode

Thank You, i did what you said, but there was no vibrations
Last night when i plug my phone to the charger, there is no red LED light (the phone's battery level is about 80%)
today after i hold the power buttons+ volume up + volume down, the red LED light flashed for a few times
i think it's telling me the battery is fully consumed(?)
so i plugged my phone to the charger again
and there's red light!!!
what can i tell from this?

I'm pretty sure this won't work as the boot partition got damaged during his try of flashing a recovery directly from the phone.
