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.

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 ...

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).

Returning to stock
Hey guys,
I've flashed [ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1][AOKP-MR1][PananoidAndroid 3.15] PAC v22.1.1 - Update: 0508 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208249&page=65. It's working, but I'd like to try another ROM, specifically Xperia Z Revolution™ from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903. This requires to install stock 10.1.A.1.434 firstly So I downloaded C6603_10.1.A.1.434_Generic DE, NL, world. Flashing with Flashtools 0.9.10.1 always stucks at 0%.
BL unlocked. Does anyone have any idea how to get stock 434 in the phone? Originally there were older one 10.1.A.1.340, if it's somehow important to know...
So my phone will not longer boot. It started like this: all of a sudden it wouldn't work properly when in a phone call, I could hear the other person but they wouldn't hear me. So I just turned off my phone and when I tried to turn it back on the triangle icon wth wrench and screwdriver appeared as seen in the image below (I had around 40% battery). I left it like that for almost an hour and since it wouldn't turn back on I did the power+volume up but it would load back on to the triangle. Then I removed the micro sd and power+volume up and it loaded the sony logo, then the xperia logo, then this sony colored waves/smoke started and the 3rd time this "wave" crossed the screen, it just froze and began a never ending loop of sony+xperia+waves+restart... over and over again :S It stopped only after long pressing power button + volume up. I tried pluggin it on my pc and starting the Sony PC companion but doesnt recognizes the phone. I read in another post that they fixed this issue by connecting the phone to the PC and launching sony's pc updater. But I don't know what's this "sony pc updater" thing, if they mean PC companion Ive tried it out and doesnt work for me.
Thx in advance for any help! (btw, my xperia z is with the latest update installed)

Possible Solution :
Install the STOCK ftf file of Xperia Z into Your Phone Using Flashmode.
What You will need is
1. Flashtool
2. Ftf file for Xperia Z (Download the ftf from your device thread)
Flash The ROM ftf file.
You should be running the phone by the time you finish.
I fixed it!!

As dwarkesh2492 said (thx a lot by the way), all I did was download a stock rom (I found the italian unbranded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293794) and flashed it with flashtool beta 6 ( tutorial on how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614). At first it wouldn't start flashing but I tried several times plugging and unplugging my phone while holding volume down and it finally flashed It was the 1st time I ever flashed a ROM or anything so I'm sure anyone can do it.
I hope it helped.

What method exactly worked for you?
I'm having the same triangle screen, I interrupted it by pressing vol up + down + power, and after that it just showed the Sony logo. The battery died and when I try to charge it now, the only sign of life is the red LED and "SONY". I won't go into flashmode (yet) so flashtool is not an option. I'll try to charge it whole night (am in the Netherlands) and try flashtool again tomorrow.
Btw. I am on RomAUR which is nearly stock .253 and this means I have root too. Locked BL. The problem appeared after rebooting the phone because I suddenly didn't mount the external SD.
Any help appreciated, thanks!!

But I learned about how to turn off the phone thanks to other of your posts (thanks again!) and that saved my life

So after reading this should we NOT try to do a reset using Sony Update Service.app?
T.I.A.
Hi!
My XZ is dead. There is just Red Light and black screen. When i reset it with on with Power + Volume Up it shows up flashing the red light twice and then no more LED light. Only when i switch it to the USB Charger it gets again permanent in red light.
It seems it can connect with Flashtool when i reset with Power+Volume Up, but ends with "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.". Tried to flash C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic DE
With Sony Update Service i cant get any connection to the phone.
Phone is rooted and Bootloader is unlocked. (6603)
//Update:
Ok, i fixed by myself. This Thread from AhmedZadjali http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-unbricked-sony-xperia-z-c6603-t2615460 helped me a lot.
I only Hold Power + Volume Up till device vibrates three times so its shutdown. After that i used EMMA from Sony Mobile, installed programm and drivers under Win 8.1 After that plug in device with original sony usb cable. Important: Use a USB slot direct of your pc or laptop. Connectiong With a USB Hub it dont work. Flashing the Firmware wit EMMA and restart after the sucessful process. Starting with 2 % Charge in Stock FW - charging now and i am happy that my device is revived and unbricked

Yes. I broke the charger connector thing in the phone. I had it repaired and it was working. I honestly think the place that repaired it messed with the phone to get more money out of me.
They fixed it and when I took it, once it ran out of battery it started to do the same thing again. I cant figure out what it is.

VOL UP (Blue LED) is fastboot. This is working . Thats a good thing.
1. Turn the Handy off
2. Press and hold VOL+UP
3. Connect the cable
4. Wait till the LED is blue and take your fingers from the phone
The display will indicates nothing in this mode.. It's normal.
Now you can Download TWRP Recovery for C6603.
Have you got an open bootloader.
which rom you wanted to install? stock? custom?
1. Download the boot-twrp-v2.img from (please take the right version for your phone):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...t/recovery-stable-twrp-2-4-3-0-touch-t21821122. Make your PC available for adb+fastboot:
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
&
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal-ADB-and-Fastboot_62500183.html3. Go in folder with "fastboot.exe"
4. Press "Shift+Mouse-Right-Click"
5. "open command windows here"
6. C:\Flashtool\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot boot-twrp-v2.img
Go in Recovery and wipe/factory reset (or flash a new rom, ...)

VOL UP (Blue LED) is fastboot. This is working . Thats a good thing.
1. Turn the Handy off
2. Press and hold VOL+UP
3. Connect the cable
4. Wait till the LED is blue and take your fingers from the phone
The display will indicates nothing in this mode.. It's normal.
Now you can Download TWRP Recovery for C6603.
Have you got an open bootloader.
which rom you wanted to install? stock? custom?
1. Download the boot-twrp-v2.img from (please take the right version for your phone):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...t/recovery-stable-twrp-2-4-3-0-touch-t21821122. Make your PC available for adb+fastboot:
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
&
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal-ADB-and-Fastboot_62500183.html3. Go in folder with "fastboot.exe"
4. Press "Shift+Mouse-Right-Click"
5. "open command windows here"
6. C:\Flashtool\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot boot-twrp-v2.img
Go in Recovery and wipe/factory reset (or flash a new rom, ...)
Should work. Good Luck.

your solution is not going to help because its a hardware problem and pc companion wont help since the phone wont even boot up
in a similar (or worse) problem :
was just using the phone when it hangs .. Instead being smart and patient, I tried to hard-reset it .. the screen goes dark, my android wear disconnect .. but then I literally got nothing ..
tried to put it to the cradle, connect the USB to computer, no lights, nothing
fastboot mode : volume up + connect USB, no lights, nothing
hold power button : no lights, nothing ..
the phone feels cold, so the procs seems to be sleeping ...
any ideas ?

believe me hard reset didnt do that. Either your battery died and now you need a new battery or you phone died and now you need a new phone
hey everyone,
I recently got a warranty replacement of my xperia z3 compact. It came with the latest 5.1.1. I downgraded to .77 (kitkat) through flashtool, rooted, installed the latest dual recovery. In TWRP, I restored one of my old TWRP backups, which was a .28 (lollipop 5.0 I believe). When I press reboot after restoring, the phone won't turn on anymore. No LED or anything. When I plug it into the charger, the LED blinks red. When I hold down the power button while charging, the LED light became solid red.
Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone. What else can I do? Did I corrupt the bootloader? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
happened to me, just flash any stock firmware with flashtool (it doesnt need to be recognised) and do not plug in until it tells you to.
then follow the instructions and wipe everything
hope it helps

I tried flashing with flashtool, but when I plug the phone in when asked to, flashtool does not recognize the phone being plugged in.
Do you know why this happened? Did I do anything (downgrade firmware, flash wrong firmware) that caused this to happen?
I cant tell what did it, because flashing any rom will brick mine to this state, and what do you mean by not recognised? Does it say preparing files for flashing? does it give the 'press volume down and power button' pop up?

yes, after it's done preparing files for flashing, a popup appears which tells me to plug in the phone while holding the volume down button. When I plug in the phone, nothing happens. The flashing process doesn't start

Do you be sure to hold the power and volume down button before and during the time you plug it in, until the pop up disappears?
Had something similar, but flashtool magically fixed it

I know it's a late reply, but my Z3c is rooted and running marshmellow. My phone would do the same thing, I thought it was bricked. After monkeying and monkeying it finally came back. The problem was I let the battery drain all the way to 0, and even while plugged in for a bit it didn't do anything. I think it liked it when I would plug it into my laptop instead of the power outlet. From then on, I haven't had the problem because I try to avoid the battery going completely dead.
Although the last time I did by accident, it did come back after plugging it in. My suggestion? Try plugging and charging it in your laptop and then turn on.
