I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)
So the thing is, I decided to buy this phone from another person a few days ago while it was still working but it had this one problem where the owner told me about how the phone can't be shutdown unless the battery runs out of power. Any time you shut it down, it simply reboots instead. I thought it was most likely a problem I could fix after flashing, so I decided to buy it.
Using Flashtool I was able to see that if timed pressing the buttons and plugging it into my computer right before the reboot started, I could boot into flashmode. This phone came in the 4.4 KK firmware and the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB build, so I flashed an older kernel and rooted it using Towelroot before reflashing the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB kernal. After rooting (and testing if root apps can shut it down which didn't work either), with a locked bootloader I installed the XZDualRecovery using the method here because I was finding it so hard to unlock the bootloader and Flashtool wouldn't do it either. It automatically booted into TWRP recovery menu but when I tried to flash a ROM (existenz Ultimate 3.5 to be precise), it simply made the screen go black for a second and took me back to the recovery menu. So figuring it was a bad download, I downloaded a smaller ROM but when I rebooted I accidentally went into PhilZ Touch menu instead. Deciding to do the usual wipe before flashing, here's where I messed up like an idiot. I saw an option along the lines of "Wipe CLEAN for flashing ROM" or something and trusted it so much despite it saying it's gonna wipe the system partition clean as well (I still don't know why I accepted even when warned of that).
So basically now I have a system that boots the SONY splashscreen and then goes black with the back light still on unless the battery runs out. I can't shut it down no matter how long I hold the power button and if I restart, it boots back to the same thing. I have no recovery menu now thanks to my genius idea of wiping the system, and the only thing I can enter is flashmode. So when I try to flash an FTF firmware (I tried every firmware I could get) back into the phone with Flashtool, it would simply say "preparing for flashing" for about a minute before it says "device disconnected" because the phone decides to exit flash mode and boot normally. I have a locked bootloader (with bootloader unlocking allowed), so I can't flash recovery menus. When I try booting by holding the VolumeUp key and plugging it in, it enters flash mode only with the red LED on and I still get the same results on Flashtool.
Was wondering if there were any ways around this that I might have missed before deciding to open the phone and change the hardware? And if it comes to that, what would I need to change (have always been a software guy when it comes to phones)? Any tips and advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: Have a bricked c6603 from wiping the system, that can't shutdown and keeps rebooting and refuses to be flashed.
If you have time before the phone reboots, hold Volume UP and the power key for 15 seconds. The phone will vibrate once at 10 seconds. Keep holding the keys until you feel 3 vibrations. This will hard power down the phone.

^I've tried this and it simply boots back up again.
Hmm. That should definitely shut the device down, not restart it.
Sounds like there could possibly be an issue with your power button. I've heard of issues with the power button after water damage. Have you checked the water ingress indicators under the flaps? If any are red, it points to earlier damage from water.

Seems like you're right, I just checked it and it indeed has a faded red color on it. Do you think if I take the phone apart it the power button could be fixed or should I swap something else inside this from another Xperia?

I experienced this problem
Pls hold down volume When u connect your phone to pc via flashtool,
It will connect in flash mode
After that , just flash 0.230 kernel via flash mode ( kernel not rom )
Then disconnect your phone
Turn it off ( hold power button and volume up till it vibrates 3 times )
Then before it turn on again , hold down the volume down and connect it to pc via usb and this time flash 0.283 Rom ( not kernel )
This worked for me
Hi!
I just update to lollipop 23.1.A.0.726 using pc suite, now i want to have root access but i can get in to recovery, the led indicator never turns on, the phone works with no problems so the led indicator, what should i do?
cheers!
Recovery mode/Hard reset option
I have same problem. I don't have custom recovery but what Im trying to do is hard reset.
I am waiting for the LED to appear before pressing volume UP. After several attempts I gave up waiting for the LED and pressed (many times) the up button soon as I feel the vibration after pressing power on.
no luck. I don't get the option to do hard reset
Any ideas? How do I do a hard reset?
well after search all over the forum i end up with 2 solutions
1-the first was to flash the kernel using this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/tutorial-how-to-boot-to-recovery-lp-690-t3069984
but in a very stupid way i could not do it ( i was using wrong dir ), but im not shure if this method would work.
2- the one i use, i just downgrade fw to 23.0.A.2.93
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
after getting recovery i flash 23.1.A.0.726 Lollipop 5.02, Odexed, Pre-Rooted 2.46, XDualRecovery 2.8.14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...03-lollipop-5-02-odexed-pre-rooted-2-t3090505
and done!
I backup all because I erase all
Hello all,
I've "inherited" my brother's Xperia SP. I've rooted it before, so now that I "own" it I've decided to flash a custom rom on it. When I flashed the rom and gapps, tried to restart, now it won't boot. I flashed using TWRP. Not bootloader is not unlocked, and neither can it be unlocked.
It doesn't even want to charge, I plug it in, but it is not reacting at all.
When I press the off button at the back, and the press the power button, I get a soft quick vibrate and then nothing happens. I go press and hold on the off button again, and try power + vol down. I get the middle notification light to flash green quick and then disappears. Nothing happens.
Help? I followed and read up instructions to install the ROM. I was on the 4.3 stock before flashing.
How I flashed: went to TWRP, factory reset, wipe system, install rom, install gapps, restart. Did I screw up somewhere? I feel like I might have, but I didn't think it would get bricked when I have a locked bootloader. Any insight to what might have happened, at least? Thanks.

I don't remember the thread, but the file name is this one: Slim-huashan-5.1.1.beta.0.12-UNOFFICIAL-20151119-1622.zip
Now that I go through the stuff, I see what you mean that witha locked bootloader I can only flash a limited selection of roms... What bugs me is that the phone isn't even starting up. Not charging. PC can't see it either.
When I turn on, just a soft vibrate and then nothing. I press the off button at the back, and then press and hold vol down + power, the middle green led flashes once, and then nothing. If I connect to charger and hold the off button, it vibrates three times and then nothing. I try again, it vibrates two times. I don't get it. :S
I feel like I screwed up big time. (won't be the first time) but I'm curious is this is really dead or is there something I can still do about it.
It's a softbrick. You need to find an official firmware for your SP and flash it flashtool. You can look on the forum for guides for this.

It seems you have soft bricked your phone by flashing that ROM.
For installing official firmware, this video tutorial can help you.

Hello my name is Bob and this is my first thread, unfortunately its me asking for help so not really a great start.
Getting to the point however, i installed a 3rd party app which allowed me to change the font of my Sony Xperia Z1 after i did this and it reboot my phone it got stuck in a bootloop.
When i power up my phone i get the following occurences Sony Xperia start screen followed by POWERD BY android and it reboots the phone repeating the process.
My phone is ROOTED, my bootloader is LOCKED, i do not have RECOVERY.
C6903, stock rom
Things i can do with the phone;
Plug it in my laptop and have it show %charged
Plug it in my charger and have it show %charged
Go into fastboot*bluelight* by pressing the volume up button and plugging it into my laptop
Shut it down by pressing the power button + volume up
Go into bootloop by pressing the power button
Edit1: I do not care about wiping all date if necessary or possible!
Edit2: Flashtool, usb debugging off
Edit3: Currently using Sony PC Companion to force re-flash stock
Edit4: Finishing using Sony PC Companion software update, updated to version; 14.6.A.1.236-R2D, currently booting up phone*purple start screen*
Edit5: Phone is working, lost root
Any help would be much appreciated!
Well my opinion always when you root your phone install Recovery
Very important for something like this
*.Font Changer app don't work on Xperia Device (maybe because of Sony company)
If you wanna still want to change fonts there is thread about zip fonts to flash it on your device (it's working great)
And if you got bootloop again just flash rom Through flashtool no need to be USB Debugging on ( just enter flashMod and flash Rom)
And it's good to hear you solved the problem
