Z3C Bootloop - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I successfully flashed the debload zip from here, then i tried to restore some apps i need and went for a reboot as required.
Now im stuck into a bootloop and cant get access to the recovery.
I tried to press vol up or vol down several times after the led started glow green (in all tutorials it says it has to be violet?!)
How can i fix this now?

When led turns green and phone vibrate then press and hold vol up or down till recovery starts. If not i think u have to flash tft and do the whole root, recovery process

BRICKED after dual recovery 1.7 installer?

Hi Guys,
I was on 1.434 and rooted my device with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v29.
everything worked like charm.
rebooted twice and checked that SU was there.
the next step was CWM for locked bootloaders.
downloaded the newest package lockeddualrecovery1.7.installer and followed the on screen instructions.
After finishing my device rebooted.
After the reboot I have purple/pink LED on and SONY logo on the screen. phone vibrates for half a sec every 10-15 seconds.
none of power / power +vol up / power + vol down combo works.
Can;t even shutdown the device.
The phone is in that state for 15 minutes already and doesnt seem to get any better.
Any ideas?

Well you my friend have a soft brick, Restore with flashtool and you will be up and running in 30mins max
edit: also if your BL is locked you will get this everytime you wipe cache when installing new rom,
When you flashed Dual recovery something went a little bit wrong
Maddhouse, thanks for your answer.
flashtool doesnt recognize the device.
I was able to reset it by holding vol up + power
after the reset it gets to the sony screen and vibrates.

You need to go into flash tool and get a FTF ready to flash then when phone shuts down to reboot plug it in as FLASHMODE,

[Q] Bricked...

Hello,
I have a rooted One with PA on it. Tried to update to the last version of PA and the phone kept restarting (entered the ROM, and restarted after 30sec of so). Flashed gapps, boot.img, wiped cache still the same. After this i flashed [Kernel](002) One-M7 (UV/Intelliplug/dfsync/FauxSound/s2w/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) even though i did not knew what I was doing and now, the phone is stuck at Quietly Brilliant....I cannot do anything to it, and pressing POW+VOL DOWN does nothing...Is there anything else I can do?
Sigh...just sigh

On the quietly brilliant screen keep the power button pressed ... the buttons light will start to flash, that is normal, keep the power button pressed till screen goes off and immediately press and hold the vol down button ... this should bring you back to Bootloader, flash another proper ROM and Kernel from recovery now

Help with TWRP Recovery Issue

Hopefully you all don't sigh or roll your eyes at my questions, I came from iOS 2 weeks ago and the Android learning curve is pretty damn steep!
Many guides I read says to enter recovery mode by turning the phone off, then holding volume down and power buttons until the screen flashes and you should enter right into recovery, especially guides to flash a rom. I installed TWRP last week and the way I enter it is hit restart with phone powered on and as the phone begins to restart hold volume down only, then I enter it.
When I hold power and volume down when the phone is shut off, I get the HTC boot image as the phone is rebooting and then a message saying something along the lines of the phone will reboot and it counts down 3,2,1 then the phone reboots a second time and not into recovery. Plus my wallpaper gets removed. I rebooted but the wallpaper was still removed.
Two questions; Is this some sort of faulty installation of my recovery? Which way should I boot into recovery when about to wipe and flash a rom? Thanks a million!
twrp quicker reboot...

way i do it is i unlock the screen hold power down to get the power options screen then i select reboot i wait for the screen to go blank then i hold the power and volume down it will load into bootloader then i just hit whatever boot loader has the recovery on it (twrp 2.5... had a problem wouldnt do system boot just take me back to recovery so i had to do to bootloader then restart from there) then you will hit recovery i would do a factory wipe but dont have it delete anything else just do a normal factory wipe and maybe delete cache and your problem should be fixed unless there is an issue with your rom you are using then if it bugs you that much find a different one.
another not when the system reboots i think you can just hit volume down dont have to hold power also but im so aggrivated with my current issue i just hold power also to make sure it goes thew.

*Update*
Ok so after trying again to enter bootloader from power off holding volume down and power button, the same thing happened where I got the 3 second countdown but I continued to hold the buttons and I correctly entered into bootloader. So my question then stands, when flashing a new rom does it matter which method I use? (Reboot, volume down or Power on, volume down/power)
Thanks

Formated everything from cwm, now phone won't boot to download mode

Hey guys dunno what I was thinking but I formated pretty much everything that there is to format from cwm and now I can't even get to boot in download mode.
I try vol- power and home and I get that prompt to press vol+ if I want to go to download mode, but whenever I do press vol+ the phone just restarts, tries to boot but I guess there's nothing to boot to so I just get stuck with the Sammy logo with the red exclamation mark.
Is there anything that can be done with it or is it trash?
Edit:nevermind, kept the battery out for 5 minutes and then it went into download mode. Delete the thread

Bricked Phone, will not boot

Hi guys,
I was wondering what if anything I can do to unbrick the phone. Currently when turning the phone on, the notification led flashes green once, the zuk logo flashes briefly on the screen and then it powers off.
Connecting to pc with volume buttons down in any combination does the same thing. The phone screen stays black and a solid blue notification led comes up with no change.
QFIL cannot detect the phone, neither can adb or fastboot.
The bricking happened while attempting to install a custom rom. I had unlocked bootloader and accessed root on the stock system, and wanted to try out a different rom.
Thanks in advance, I just got the phone yesterday and I'm really hoping it's not permanently bricked.
Hi bobtheball,
You should be able to select recovery mode at he beginning of the boot (push volume down when you have the very first menu, and then select recovery).
I assume you've installed TWRP to flash the rom, so once you're on TWRP, you can push a new rom and try to flash again.
What ROM did you try to install?

Hi, what my original message meant to say is that I've tried every recommended procedure that I've seen. Pushing volume down while booting does nothing. The screen does not turn on and all I get is a blue notification led. Because of this I can't access the bootloader menu to boot into recovery.

Hi, your phone act as if it had not enough battery to even present the menu. Try charging the phone for half hour before trying vol-down+power button combination.
