There is no hardbrick for xperia z , at least not in your situation.
Please try with an older firmware and keep in mind that for the phone to start the flash process you have less than a minute for the phone to be recognized by the pc before it restarts.
Good luck

So I was stupid enough to reinstall busybox and bricked my xrecovery and ROM (FroyoBread v23b) but the problem is i can't unbrick it. Tried PCC which just says "there is no new software yet", SEUS just freezes on phone check and FlashTool seems to do it's job but after flashing my phone is still stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I'm currently out of ideas so any help would be much appreciated.
hey
i bricked my phone yesterday, this is how i unbricked it:
PCC>support zone>and pick the first one.
when it says no phone is connected press ''repair phone''
and follow the instructions.
leave thanks if helped

Epic post.
Any chance of a second one?
Maybe a description of what you've done?
Sent from my brain via my Sony Tablet S & XDA HDP
Lol
Try entering fastboot mode and flashing an ftf?
Flashtool should still be able to detect phone ( hopefully) if you get to the sony logo, hard reset it first then follow procedure yada yada....
I know cause yesterday i taught i bricked my XT since i was blocked at the sony logo after not being able to flash a rom but previously formatting /system...
Theoretically at least...
Good luck

Flash another rom
ive got flash tool but think i need the new one as my phone wont flash any roms or kernal but i can get them in flashboot and fastboot mode.
hopfully i havnt bricked my phone it was much simple on the galaxy s 3 lol
somone help me get of the sony logo ive been trying for 5 hours to sort it out.
just waititng for an email so i can use the emma flash tool.
anyone in the same situation
If you don't share information forget any help.
"ive got flash tool but think i need the new one as my phone wont flash any roms or kernal but i can get them in flashboot and fastboot mode."
What? If you can enter in these modes, then you should be able to flash the stock rom. Why did you say "my phone wont flash..." Is it special phone?
The rest of your post, Galaxy S3 comparison, 5 hours in sony logo (of course, if you don't flash the stock rom you will be even more than 5 hours...)... is not providing anything for us to help you.
You can try to waste 5 minutes to write down everything you have done, everything you tried, with results... or you can cry during posts and posts because your phone is not working.
Good luck!
From what I understand, he is not sure what version of flashtool to use.
If so, the correct one would be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
- Enter fastboot mode (blue light) and flash a STOCK FTF using flashtool.
Kind regards, Stefan.

hi, I am having trouble booting my mothers' X8. She was using mini cm7 and it was starting to be very slow so I backed it up and flashed it again. flashing was completed successfully but when I tried to boot the phone, the Sony Ericsson text did not disappear. I left it running whole night but nothing happened. I can't even boot to xrecovery. What should I do now? Is there any way I can get the phone working again?
thanks a lot!

so I downloaded the stock kernel and flashtool, but the app won't recognize the device. it still shows that I should hold back button on my phone while plugging the cable. I was holding the button for about three minutes but nothing changed. what should I do?
edit: oh and the red LED is flashing.
edit2: nevermind, battery was drained. now I just need to find drivers for my x8

It's just soft brick so you should have flashtool and some ftf files for your device maybe stock firmware and baseband update so you can unbrick your soft bricked device for any time. Just enter the flash mode and flash it! That's it! Just some advice for you
PS. Don't say thanks. Click "Thanks"

hey guys,
I think my phone is bricked . I was trying to install a second rom with the help of Mithun's Rom Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425946) and when I tried to flash it it said no errors BUT when it shutdown the device didn't boot at all.
th thing that DON'T WORK is my display and my LED(it has to become purple before entering recovery), I already tried to connect the phone with flashtool doesn't see my device
the things THAT work are the LED(when I put in charger), hard reset with vibration(power + vol up 10sec) and hard shutdown with vibration(power + vol up 15sec)
please help me get any rom/recovery back
For the record I have a LTE version Xperia Z (C6603)

my communication with flashtool is restored(windows 8 driver reinstall resolved the communication) but I'm still unable to flash something.
Try SUS. You might lose everything but at least your phone will work.
Whoever said it can't rain all the time never went to England.

thx guys I have my phone working again. I used flashtool on an old xp machine and I managed to flash my pac rom again.
Hi there,
I'm still very new to this so I'm gonna try to describe this the best way that I can.
Basically I have a Xperia SP C5303 and I was getting frustrated of it being slow and keyboard failing to pop up - these are just a few of the issues I had with this phone. I had previously downloaded the 4.3 update for the phone. So basically I thought "let me try to update it to 4.4". So I google the update and put in on the SD card on the phone. So I enter recovery, and follow the instructions (wipe all user data) and then I go to install the "cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip" It then came up with an error saying it could not be installed. So i'm panicking here and did the mistake of restarting the phone. Now the phone is stuck on the Sony logo and I cannot get it into recovery no matter pressing the up and down volume button.
Can anyone please help me? I do not have a phone now and as a man I am not afraid to say it made me shed a tear or two a bit.... But anyways, if you can please help. Thank you you wonderful people.
Hello you managed to solve? or you still need help?

Hello my friend, I assume you´re on locked bootloader, right?
If it is so, you flashed the wrong Rom. Anyway, don´t panic - not a big problem.
When you have restarted your phone, you started it without any system. No wonder, that doesn´t work
Ok. let´s go:
First, you have to flash a new stock Rom. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Second step - root it and install a recovery. Got to the thread of our Guru Doomlor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
read the steps carefully, so you can´t make any mistake!
Step three - on locked bootloader you can only flash a Rom for LBL!!!
If you want a CM11 Rom I recommend bagyusz´CM11 Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
If you will follow all the steps you will have back an excellent CM11 Rom with much, much fun.
Goodl luck, reinipic.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, what do you mean with "tried all the steps"???
Did you flash a stock .ftf Rom with Flashtool?
It is nearly impossible to brick the XP.
Please give me more details, what you´ve done.

I've downloaded the .ftf file onto my laptop, but getting my phone to open the file is an issue because when i connect the SP onto the laptop, it switches on the phone but has been stuck on Sony logo for the past couple of hours. The Recovery_SP.zip and DooMLoRD are both not picking up the phone as plugged in on USB drivers.

ok. listen: give away the back cover of your phone - there ist down the RESET BUTTON! Press him for a few seconds, until the phone vibrates three times! Then ist is switched off.
Now you can start flashing
