last night i upgraded my mda vario (wizard) with a new updated rom..while the phone where updating its seem to be stuck at 70% after that the menu that was showing from the update dissapeerd..i could only see my desktop and nothing els, zo i disconnected the device from the usb at 70% to try it again..so i rebooted the phone and thats where the ****s started to happen..because my phone wont turn on anymore it wont even show the bootloader, or the green or red light..it jus seems dead ..anyone got any idee how i can get it to turn on again...
thank you
Try to start the phone in bootloarer. Hold the camera button while turning on, hold camera button until you get the tri colored screen. Then flash T-mobil 2.26 or the Cingular rom. If the phone doesn't start that way pull the battery out for a while.
You can also hold in the reset button for 10 seconds and then hold the camera button, and press power
i tried all of that allready it jus wont start or go in bootloader screen,nothing happends at all ,.no lights nothin..it jus seems like its bricked..but before the flash of the new rom everything where jus fine..
sounds like a half way flash with dead battery. You may try your luck on a charged battery.

Try holding the power button for a long time (around 20 seconds) when Stuck on HTC Logo to force restart.
Or you can hold power and volume down to enter bootloader menu and factory reset (not recommended because I don't know if it will make it work again).

The cache probably got corrupted so your phone wouldn't boot.

Hey there,
So today I was using my Xperia Z aaaand bam, phone "died".
Battery was at that time 70%, phone was a little bit hot, but in scale of 1 to 10 it was like 6. I had not problems previously with it (besides broken screen that got replaced 3 weeks ago). I was playing a game then suddenly it got closed and my screen got shifted. Like Animation of horizontal menu stucked while going to vertical. I pressed power button many times, I've keept holding it for a short time, long time... nothing. Phone did not respond at all. After 10 minutes it went black. No idea if it went "sleep" or so since power button do not work again.
I tried to reset it with Power + Volume down, Power + Volume up and again, nothing.
I've tried factory reset with Sony Companion but no luck either. Phone is NOT detected by that program.
However, when I plug the phone to PC I hear sound that some device has been found. Phone is presented now as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. I've heard that not a good sign...
When I plug it to PC or Charger nothing happens so I have no idea if phone is getting charged or not.
What even more confusing, when I press power button - nothing, phone is COLD. But when I press Power + Volume down after a while it starts to get warm, after a long time of repeating this really warm.
Any ideas what could I do?
Thanks!

You phone has locked or unlocked bootloader? If unlocked, give a try to enter Fastboot mode and flash any custom ROM

Red LED = dead battery. If you can't get it to charge in fastboot mode (just leave it plugged in for a day or two), then you'll need to disassemble the phone to either replace the battery or force it to charge - the latter of which is only if you know what you're doing (Li-ons like to catch fire and explode). You should obviously fix the power button while you're in there.
There is nothing else to be said about it.
Thanx xasbo...i already figured that out my self and opened up my phone and disconnected the battery from the motherboard and kept it away for sometime and went on for the power button...i tried everything but power button seems okay..it's not a hardware issue...so i reconnected the battery and left it charge for the whole evening and voila it turned itself on with56% of battery... ..anyway thank you all for supporting me... you guys are awesome..:thumbup:

:good: good deal.
iirc, the power button is run through one of the flex cables, they can tear very easily and sometimes it is difficult to see. the replacement flex is cheap, just a few bucks, might be worth trying.
Okay...i'll try replacing the ribbon...thanx bro...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:u are awesome...

Sounds like a pretty normal bootloop. Make sure you're flashing the right FTF for your specific C690x device. Start with a completely stock FTF and work up from there.

Are you trying to flash from recovery or fastboot? If the former, try the latter.
Or you can just send it into Sony for repair.
Don't blame the phone, though - you're the one that broke it. :good:
Red LED doesn't automatically mean dead battery. Reading the whole thread, You said (before opening the phone) that it would turn on own it's own, and turn back off. Your phone is soft bricked. It kept trying to boot up but since it's on a boot loop it would power on, get stuck, power off, then powers on again - hence called a boot loop. Boot loops can drain the battery which is why pressing the PWR+VOL UP was advised so you can power off the phone completely. By powering it off, you can then charge the phone up to 100% so you can work out the boot loop that you are on. I have no knowledge about actual hardware stuff like that of opening the phone, so I cannot comment on the power button that is broke. But one thing I can say is, it's easy to revive a soft bricked phone that doesn't have a broken power button. So this comment is basically me threading all the symptoms you have mentioned and explain it in the best manner I can. I have experienced lots of boot loops myself and have managed to revive my nasty Z1 which is why I am a little familiar with it's symptoms. I do hope you get the power button fixed so reviving your phone would be easy.

The device turns off - like turns off completely or it still reboots as if you are still stuck in a boot loop?
I'm a bit stuck with a weird case; I have a rooted Z3C(locked bootloader) which I achieved by following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
It's been working fine for 1,5 year, when suddenly a week ago after the battery was low and shut the phone down, it got stuck in a bootloop while it was charging (already over 40%).
Couldn't get it to boot into recovery mode(nor it was detected by flashtool), until after a few days I was able to acces TWRP, made a backup(still got that, as well of a backup from the TA partition from 1,5 year ago). And then wiped the phone with TWRP as well. After another attempt to boot (which didnt work) it was able to get into the clockworkmod recovery(it's a surprise how that got on there), and chose "restore". There was a blue light and the screen went black. And it did so for over 5 minutes which made me(and a "techie") think it had probably crashed, so we forced shut it off(power button + VOL up, vibrate 3 times).
Since then I'm pretty much stuck with the situation from earlier but instead of being in a bootloop, it is now stuck on the kernel logo "Sony xperia". I can't make it boot in any kind of mode, I can only force shut down by power button + Vol up. It When trying to boot by using power button + vol UP it doesn't do anything; when using power button + down, it directly gets stuck at kernel logo.
At all attempts to boot there is no LED apprearing, LED only goes on for about 5 seconds when plugged into laptop or charger, and last the phone is not detectable by flashtool(or xperia companion).
Currently following this thread and waiting for the battery to drain: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
But I wonder if that will do the fix...
In the meantime I'd like to know if there is anyone who might have some tips of what I can try?

Can you enter flash mode or fastboot?
nope, I can't enter either of them.. Unless there is a way to acces flashmode or fastboot mode without using the button combinations?
I've never stayed in your situation. Try turn off, wait the flashtools send the messenger with instructions to plug the phone, press vol. down button and plug in usb.
personally, i don't like end the whole battery in Sony's 2013>2015, because my fist sony, a M2A, after shutdown by low power, never turns on again... only tree reed lights - uhh, sony with jealous of xbox -, i change the battery and the bricks continued. Not healthy to sony hardware do this, i mean.
https://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
But if the last option, do that.
What you are discribing to do with flashtool, I already tried, it doesn't recognise the phone. I even tried "tricks" of different buttons and tempo's bu tthat doesn't help making flashtool recognise the device.
Also I was not able to make the phone completely decharge itself. This morning, after it drained the battery all night long by letting it stuck on the Sony logo, it came up with the battery empty logo when pressing power button. It is not possible for me to drain the battery even more, except if I keep pressing the power button every minute to activate the battery logo...
I tried the instructions from the link you pasted, to get it into fastboot with adb, didn't work, at the first command it already said it couldnt find the device:
C:\adb>adb reboot fastboot
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
So, when You have powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer does led on red than green and off?
And fastboot when phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb) doesn't work too yes?
@yaroszek, no when "powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer" the LED goed red for a few seconds and then goes off(no green at all), and the screen will show the Sony logo.
when trying to fastboot with "phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb)" exactly the same happens...
