Had a similar problem
Bricked my Xperia Z when I tried to install ClockWork Recovery on it.
Had to use the flash tool http://androxyde.github.com/
and then find the appropriate firmware for my T-mobile version
And I was able to bring my phone back to life.
My phone was so bad to the point when I hit the power button, a red light would flash

Bricked my Sony Xperia V (LT25i)

Please help, because I might have bricked my Xperia V!
I wanted to install CyanogenMod 10.2.0 Stable Verion on my phone for the first time. I've backed up my TA partition and started following the CyanogenMod tutorial to unlock the bootloader and install CM on my Xperia under Windows 7 x64. Everything went well: I put the phone into fast boot mode and flashed boot.img, went into ClockworkMod Recovery, wiped everything, mounted sdcard0 and wanted to push the zip image with adb, which didn't work. I might have messed up the driver when installing the flash tool driver from Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe because my phone was not recognized. Under Device Manager I had the yellow exclamation mark. I tried reinstalling drivers, reinstalled PC companion, but the phone wasn't recognized. I moved my phone to my other laptop which has Win7 32bit OS (I thought the drivers might work on the other system) but nothing changed. After installing drivers, my phone started doing weir things. I wasn't able to put it into fast boot mode. Sometimes the led was blue, but I got black screen, sometimes the CWM menu popped up, but exited after 2 seconds, but most of the time the led is red. If I leave the phone connected to the PC it goes into some kind of reboot cycle, as the Sony logo pops up for some seconds and then it goes away. I've tried to flash the stock firmware with Flashtool, but it always does the following:
21/031/2015 23:31:44 - INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode
21/031/2015 23:31:50 - INFO - Flash canceled

21/035/2015 23:35:42 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Can you please give me advise how to proceed? I didn't do anything with the phone while in CWM, just tried to get adb working on my other laptop, so I don't know whats wrong with it. PC companion is not even seeing the phone and now it's not showing up under Device Manager as well.

Issue resolved. Battery drained completely. CM is now installed, however my battery is acting weird since the CWM install. I'll keep testing.

can anyone help? thank you

Hi ZervZ,
First off, are you sure you have the proper usb drivers installed ?
also make sure to end any running adb connections by other software, ie: if you have bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator, make sure to close it completely and end the adb process using task manager (just to avoid any conflicts)
third, how do you boot in fastboot mode ?
it should be : completely turn off your device, connect the usb cable to the PC usb port (not the mobile yet), now press and keep holding the volume down key, while holding the volume down connect the micro usb to the device and continue holding the volume down key.
If this wasn't what you were doing, try it out and let me know what happend.

I'm surely a usb driver are properly installed. Every device but my phone work properly.
For flashtool drivers. Firstly, I've try installed only my device and flashmode+fastboot drivers = not working
then installed all driver that driver pack delivered = not working too. (both install with driver signing off, all green)
I'm not using or even installed any android emulator on my pc. only one program that I aware of conflict with flashtool is sony pc companion, which I'm not open it at all.
how I get in fastboot, same method as you provide but I used vol up, vol down for flashmode .(neither working with flashtool, even I've a blue led on, they still shown Ive connected in flashmode)
Now I'm try to uninstall a semc flash device driver and s1 service.
I think its a source of my problem, but problem is I can't. haha.
Might be need reinstall my windows
Edit: After I've restore my windows to the point before Ive install any drivers. Problem still persist, now its get worst, because pcc shown Ive connected sony device all the time .(same with flashtool.)

have you installed the drivers for ZR itself? when u installed Flashmode and fastboot drivers, u must have missed to tick the drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board which are for ZR. reinstall all 3 I mentioned above and see if it works,
Also what version of flashtool are ou using? I am using 9.13 for my ZR which is recommended by the dev for first Z series phones. u may want to consider that as well

Well, yes I installed Lagan board on my my 1st try. Its wasn't work.
Then I just installed all of them, still wont work. Or even no driver installed from driver package. (only flashtool and connect my phone) that wont work too.
Same problem, but it can connected on 1st try, if I try to flash anything they will error and stay connected in flashmode again (Until I uninstalled a driver & reboot my pc)
As I said, flashtool 0.9.18 since its a latest version, might try 0.9.13 :good:
And.. I cant repair my phone via pcc too. Since they need to get in flashmode :crying:

have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?
Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC

Flashtool 0.9.13 same problem persist, always shown connected in flashmode, even I doesnt connect my device
Might be a time to format my pc
Thank you guys :good:

read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,
May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device
check and remove everything using adb.
formatting pc is last option :good:

softbricked z3c

hi!
first off all thank you all for contributing to this forum, you guys really rule!
i have a problem....
as the title say i softbricked my z3 compact trying to flash MM on it.
i forgot to click the "allow unknown sources" on the phone before he procedure
i know, i`m stupid. my bad
but now when i tried to flash even stock kitkat on it the flashtool errors in one moment sayin "for flashtool unknown sources has to be enabled"
going thru the forum i saw a thread about the usb debugging mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778437
he fixed it with using an older version of flashtool, but when i install an older version it asks to connect by pressing the back button not the volume down to enable flashing mode...
so i have 2 questions...
is there a way to flash without having the unknown sources on?
i installed the adb all-in-one but not successful to implement the command using the terminal
how to enable flashmode by using an older version when i dont have a back button? (its not arc s )

1. You don't need unknown sources enabled to flash
2. To flash hold down the volume down button while plugging your phone into the computer

Do you have the the Sony drivers installed?
Did you install the ADB drivers (run the exe in the drivers folder within Flashtool folder). If you have Windows 10 this last step is difficult, you have to restart the machine in safe mode and disable driver signature checking.
You must have your phone turned off completely before you start (power button and volume up till you get three vibrations), leave it unplugged from the PC
Start flashtool and select which ftf you want to use, Exclude TA, press build. wait for the invitation from flashtool to plug your phone in. Then hold the volume down as you insert the usb plug, you can let go as soon as it starts doing something
There is a guide to the flashtool here, beware it's a powerful tool capable of bricking your phone

Help Flashtool disconnect after 60 seconds ' I am new to this '

I want to update my C6903 running Official Android 5.0.2 to Official Android 5.1.1 with Flashtool ( first time ever to use it )
I am not rooted and don't have a custom recovery.
I Installed the drivers on windows 10 I disabled "drivers signature check" and restarted the PC but when I connect the phone in flashmode it auto disconnects after 60 seconds every time :
02/014/2016 20:14:28 - INFO - Starting phone detection
02/014/2016 20:14:33 - INFO - Device disconnected

02/016/2016 20:16:10 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
02/016/2016 20:16:10 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
The reason why I want to update the phone is that I lose battery power at night "standby" I go to sleep and wake up to find that 40% had gone without WIFI or DATA or any application ( no battery saving apps too ) and I want to make it clear if it's a firmware problem or the battery need to be replaced.
Please help it's my first Sony phone comming from years of loyalty to Samsung . I did not use Flashtool before.

I think the Z1 is no longer supported in this forum.
waiting for your support =)
