Hey Everyone,
I am stuck right now and I am not sure where to go from here. I am not going to go into the story on why it happened, I'll just tell you guys what happened to makes things easy.
I rooted my phone without unlocking the bootloader using this method:
[ROOT] Xperia Z for LOCKED, UNLOCKED bootloaders! [Exploit by: goroh_kun & huhka_com]
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
Using ROM Toolbox Pro I attempted to change the background colour of the status bar.
Phone was restarted by the app.
Problem begins:
Phone won't start.
It will boot with the Sony logo, followed by the XPERIA logo... followed by it shutting down.. and it will keep repeating this until I force shutdown the phone (Power + Volume Up).
I can connect it to the computer via Fastboot Toolbox using the Fastboot tool. I have no idea where to go from here. I tried to reflash a generic .ftf rom, but I am just stuck at the part where it's telling me to unplug USB and reconnect it while holding back button (Volume Up for Xperia Z?), but it does not register it.
Any advice or solution would be a great help as I've tried searching around and could not find anything for hours now..
Thank you everyone in advance and I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much for the prompt response. Good to hear from someone after being in the dark for hours searching.
That was the first thing I've tried doing, but the update service requires the phone to be in an on state to begin with. Will revisit that option again in case I missed on something,

to phone off, hold down power button + volume up after a few seconds it will vibrate once , keep holding down the button combo until it vibrates 3 times, now release , the phone will now be off, use Sony Update Service as gm007 suggested

Yeah.. I see that it's different..
I'm now stuck at the "Connecting your phone" holding the volume down key bit, it'll detect a device, installs the drivers for the first time (SEMC Flash Device), but nothing happens. This is what happens.
*Holds Volume Down* & Plug in USB
SEMC Flash Device can be seen connected under Device Manager>USB controllers
*silence*
SEMC Flash Device disconnects and phone reboots into the previous state (Sony + XPERIA logo, restart)

All I did was switch off your phone, Keep hold of volume down and plug your usb into the phone. Your phone LED will briefly flash Red then Green

Mine is not flashing any colour. I will hear the USB connect tone, and that's it. Nothing happens. No LED flashing, no moving of the update software. This will then be followed by a USB disconnect tone after a while and back to the loop again, Red LED>Sony Logo>Red LED off>XPERIA logo>phone switched off for a brief moment only to loop.
Maybe restart the pc and change the usb port that you are using.

that sounds like you have the phone plugged into USB ? you are supposed to start Sony update without phone plugged in...and only plug it into usb when the sony update prgram tells you to, then you are only to plug just the USB cable into computer, make sure phone is completely off , wait 30 secs , hold down the volume key then plug USB cable into phone,

Looks like it's my desktop thing. Restarted the thing 3-4 times and swapped to almost every USB port at the back.
It's being detected by my laptop. Will update everyone on the progress. Looking good so far. Thanks for the support so far, really appreciate it.
Edit: Download complete. Installing software in the phone. Looks like it might be going well. Stupid desktop, I thought it was an issue with the phone all along. >.<
Edit 2: Running fine now. I see the colourful smoke animation. Cheers. Now if only I can buy the three of you coffee. Cheers

You are a little vague on the details, but it sounds like your phone is probably in "fastboot-mode", meaning (on the Xperia Z) a black screen and no notification light nor anything else. It will stay in this mode until told to leave it by a computer or holding Power and volume up for like 10 seconds or something. The reason, in that case, that it didn't appear in flashtool could be that you have no fastboot drivers installed on your computer.
Issuing the command "fastboot continue" from a properly setup command prompt will cause it to boot up. Or, as mentioned above, hold power and vol up...

Thanks, i already pressing and holding the power on and volume up button a few times, but sadly nothing happend..i think u might b right, there might b something wrong with the flash driver i installed in my laptop before. i will try to use my friend's laptop (he did a few flash and succeed).
i want to ask something, could the battery dried out even after a couple of hours in this flashboot mode condition?is it possible?
Thanks

...I'm gonna go out on a limb to say its hard brick man, try to send it in.
When you plug the phone into the computer does it read? if not then theres nothing else you can do.
I'm curious, what did you try to do in flashtool to get to this point?
No, its not connected,nothing happend, not even a usb connected sound..yeah, i"m thinking to send it today..

does the computer detect the phone in fast boot or not [vol- + pwr] if yes download the update service from sony website and maybe it wil work .
It's a long shot, but plug it in to power then try a hard reset (hold power and volume up) for 10 seconds. The phone should vibrate 3 times.
I have a vague recollection of my phone doing something similar and it wouldn't do anything until I gave it external power.

I tried to enter the bootloader nothing happens. When I turn on the USB cable to the computer or charger is flashing a green light on the speaker next to the sensors.
hi all,
so i woke up today, took note of something via small notes app on the phone.
went back to sleep with the phone on the charger.
i wake up, try to turn the screen on (LED light indicated full charge with green light), & the screen does not turn on! i figure my hand was blocking the light sensor so i make certain my hand isnt in the way, & try again, still not response. next thing i do is hold the power button & volume rocker up but all this does is turn the phone completely off(no more green led)!
since then i have been trying, & trying to do the reset of vol up + power with no results.
im afraid the phone is dead, & i have to purchase a new one, but im hoping that there is a last resort tactic i may use to revive the phone.
thanks in advance.
:good:
may someone be kind enough to help?
or to point me to proper thread.
ive searched & only results lead to solution which involves pc companion which ive tried but it is not recognizing my phone.
thanks

nope, no response from the phone @ all.
this is so odd that the phone would just literally 'die' out of no where?

Okay,
Have Googled up a bit.
Keep the phone connected to charger to 5-6 hours and then try starting the phone
This method has worked for some users, see whether it works for you :fingers-crossed:
Pc/seus
Hi,have you tried Pccompanion or seus?Ok,now i see that you tried pc companion,but try seus!
Edit:
Ok try this,open Pc companion,now iniciate the support zone,if is not installed it will install.
Now once is installed click on software update of the phone,and it will say that no device was found,so now click on repair my phone.
Hope that works.
hi guys,
UPDATE !!!
although very odd, & puzzling(im not complaining!!) the phone came back to life on its own.
i had just finished watching television with the family, when i take the phone out of my pocket & just out of hope push the power button when all the sudden i felt a faint(but lovely) vibration!! a few secs later the logo screens showed, & the phone booted up as normal.
needless to say i am certainly happy the phone is working.
MOST IMPORTANTLY id like to thank those that took the time from their lives to reply to my call for help. It is HUGELY appreciated!
thanks again. :good::good::highfive::highfive::good::good:

I recently bricked my HTC One. It was stuck in a boot loop, so I flashed CWM onto it and then sideloaded the insert coin rom. After going through the installation my phone turned off. When I went to turn it on again the whole device was unresponsive, no lights, I cant get into the bootloader or recovery mode. Is there any way to fix this on my own?

well keep phone plugged to the wall charger a while then try to hold power until the phone boot or power + vol down. Do this under a bright light to activate the light sensor
if you can't make it boot there is not much we can do

Well it looks as if I'm pretty SOL for now. I will keep the phone charging for the next few days and will try to boot under a bright light. If none of that works I'll just have to get a new phone
