[Q] Xperia Z wont enter flash mode and wont start [HELP URGENT]

i was installing eXistence rom v3.5.0 and while installation was about to finish as my battery was low the phone went off and since then wont turn on.
when i charge it the red LED turns on and when i remove from charging the led stays on for a bit and then goes off ..
and phone wont go into flash mode .
please help urgent :crying:
are you able to get into fastboot/bootloader mode (+ Volume key and connect usb), if so try this http://www.blinkenlights.ch/ccms/android/yuga-l.html do not install gapps yet, make sure you can charge your battery first.
Do a fresh installation with flash tool using ftf file. u have soft bricked the phone. but you are able to enter into flashmode.
hope this works!!
Edit: if you see a led light on the phone then i think you can enter into flash mode. if you are on windows 8 there may be driver issues of flashmode. what happens when you try to connect in flashmode??

Hard Bricked Xperia TL?

Ok so im dealing with a possible Hard Bricked Xperia TL, unlocked sim (not sure about bootloader)
well it started out as so.
one night the phone was supposed to be charging but it was not. The charger was extremely hot and sometimes the phone would be as well. The battery went 100% dead and from what i heard is that i should NEVER let it get that way.
so then i tried to charge the phone but all that would happen was that the red power led would flash and go away. and if i press the power button it would flash 2 times and not boot. no matter what happened i could not the phone to charge. then i tried to do the "rubberband trick" Placing the rubberband over the bower button and trying to let it charge while plugged into the wall with another charger. and it would stay on a steady red light for a bout 10 or so minutes and then stop.( rumor is that it wont charge that way without a sim card in the slot but i dont know about that, Plus the customer didn't leave the sims card.
anyway so i assumed that the phone needed to be reflashed with flashtool so i downloaded the correct FTF and attempted to flash the phone. I was able to get to both flash mode and fastboot mode at the time. But whenever i started flashing the rom after about 10 minutes allmost at the end of the process while it was flashing the system partition it would report a error
ERROR - Read error :31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

i tried many times to do this.
about 2 times i got the sony logo to flash for 1 second then back to not responding...
now after trying some more its even more unresponsive. I cant even get to any modes. no flashmode or fastboot.
and when i plug in the charger the power led flashes once and does nothing else even if i hold any or all buttons while plugging in the charger.
and when i plug it in to my computer the computer makes the noise that a usb device is plugged in.
in device manager the phone pops up as
"QHSUSB_DLOAD" with a triangle prompting that The drivers for this device are not installed.
anything i can do?
EDIT: QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers are installed and read by S1 tool but another error occurs.
Anyone?

Help brick bootloop (flashmode only 20''??)

Hello, yesterday I tried to flash this ROM: C6603_10.7.A.0.222_Customized MEA.ftt. I succeeded, although I relized I didn't wipe...so I (fool of me) flashed again, and here is when the trouble came.
Flash failed and since then I got the SONY screen and then a message saying: "the software update failed. make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again" and then shut off itself. If I try to charge to the electricity socket it is when the loop comes in...this time no error screen, just sony and turns off and on sony screen offs, etc...
I thought of flashing again, but the problem here is when the device won't stand in flashmode more than 15-20 seconds and then the red light led turns off (as if the device had been disconnected) and therefore flashing is impossible (it starts correctly but when the red light turns off a error message "31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning" appears, as if I unplugged the phone...)
I also tried to restore with pc companion but the problem of the short flashmode still goes on. What can I do????why the device turns off (or it seems that) after connecting to the pc??
Curiously, I can get to fastboot mode (when connected to the pc, if I push UP button led light turn blue and keep it until I unplug, contrarily to what happens with the flahsmode)
The model is unlocked bootloader, but it is not rooted and I could not install recovery, so wiping through it is dismissed...
Is it possible to flash from fastboot (since in flashmode is impossible?)
I also tried a hard reset by pushing + and - buttons while starting, and 3 vibres happen and it tuns off but the problem still continue...
PLEASE HELPPPPPP

Hard bricked xperia z1 - please help

Hi Guys,
I really need your help unbrick my Xperia Z1 C902.
Here's what happened:
I tried to flash a custom rom that wasn't compatible VIA AROMA ( I had MiUi 7 custom rom ) and it is now dead. It won't boot. No sign of life. No Vibration when pressed vol up+Power . Hard reset ( via sim slot ) has no affect on the Phone. No recogniztion to USB on laptop ( tried other USB cables as well ).
I have left the phone be charged overnight assuming the flash took a toll on the battery ( it was about 30% when I flashed the phone )and in the morning there was a red LED. Assuming the battery had enougfh power I tried to turn it on, connect to Laptop, Fast boot mode, flash mode but with no luck.
Day2:
Left the phone connected to the stock charger for about 20 hours or so.
No LED lights. No vibrations. No sign of detection on the laptop.
Sony Companion will not detect my phone via fastmode as well.
This phone is out of warranty so I was hoping you can help save some bucks before I take it to the Sony centre.
I looked through XDA all day but nothing has helped me bring my phone back to life.
EDIT:
I have downloaded India Stcok ROM via Xperifirm and tried to flash it but the flashtool does not detect the phone. Fastboot and Flashmode both does not detect the phone. Strange thing is, when I plug the phone to laptop holding the Vol down button, a red LED blinks for few seconds but the fastboot does not work ( as my phone has bootloader unlocked )
ADB does not work - No devices connected.
If there is anyway I can flash or install TWRP recovery ( or any for that matter ), I have the old working MiUI rom in the external SD card.
I will owe you a beer or two and a dinner if you 're able to bring my phone back to life. Please I am desperate.

Hi.
You have flashing led that means there is some hope first press and hold hard reset button for 15-20 seconds under sim cover then realizes it. Now plug in charger and dont touch the phone before 4-5 hours. Let it charge even though red led comes on.
After that disconnect your phone and don't turn it on wait for 5 minutes.
Also do check if the flash tool drivers are properly installed (window 8 and newer needs you to disable driver signature enforcement) use flashtool version 0.9.19.0, dont know why but this version works best for me.
Flash *.108 firmware (available in xda) also do always check hash after downloading.
Now try to flash the firmware as normally we do and hope for the best. This method worked fine for me many times.
Good luck..! [emoji111]
The flashing Red LED is bringing back some really bad memories of my own Hard brick. Try what kathanpatel suggests first - holding the reset button down.
Are your symptoms identical to this?:

There is a link to a post with instructions on recovering from the hard brick. Good luck.

The red button in a sim slot won't have any effect unless your phone is connected to the charger (not computer). Connect the charger, press and hold the red button for about 10 seconds until there is vibration. Then immediately push and hold the power button for a few seconds.
