[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 ...

They never will. Read the instructions which come with EMMA. I have it working fine, officially, without any credentials.

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).

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.

[Q] T-Mobile Z1S brick

I rooted my z1s today, then i installed recovery then flashed the rom for our phone made by tactic, all was well but everytime i booted the phone it always said android is upgrading, then it went through all the apps, so i thought why don't i just wipe system cache data and dalvik, then install the rom again, big mistake at first it booted to the sony logo got stuck, i kept turning it off then on 3 times, then after that i just went into flash mode with the led turning blue, after that i turned it off to save battery because i didn't download the ftf and flashtool yet, so after all that is downloaded i try to go into that mode again by plugging it into my computer then volume up and power but then it shows a red led for a brief second then stays black screen, not on ithink. When plugged into my computer it shows usb device not recognized so the phone is still alive. so my question is, what can i do to save my phone? pleeease help :crying: and yes i kind of literally cried

You wiped the system and then wonder why there is no system?
Just repair your phone using pccompanion to get back to stock
Or
Flash a Z1S FTF using flashtool.
Then, spend some reading the threads and learning what to do before blindly flashing and wiping stuff.

Have you tried using them yet?
In your last post you say you have not even downloaded flashtool yet?
Download it, run driver.exe from the driver folder in the installation path. Choose flashmode, fastboot and Z1 drivers
then run flashtool and attach the phone with it turned on.
Detach the phone
Attach the phone again in flashmode.
Please post the log from flashtool here

My phone doesn't even shutoff, no vibrations etc, just the computer saying device not recognized, and the phone was unplugged while trying to turn it off
flash tool also says device disconnected? and i can't upload the log file

Press and hold the power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times. Then it is off.
Just copy and paste the window from flashtool here.

i tried that, doesn't work

Try it again, that should ALWAYS work, no matter what.
How long are you holding them both for?
Press and hold both of them at the same time

i pressed it for at least 5 seconds, and both

Press it for much longer. If you get to one minutes and it has not worked then we can worry
Also, after seeing your numerous posts all over the forum I see another issue

Blue LED means fastboot, for flashmode you need a green LED
Press volume down for flashmode and volume up for fastboot.
