than (if you have the same problem like YawningCat), because you never unlocked the bootloader, send your device back. I think you still have your warranty, right?
YawningCat:
try to relock your Bootloader via Flashtool, go into Sony Update Service and it should detect your device normally, otherwise it just says no to your device because the Bootloader is unlocked.

Hey gang this may sound like I'm being rude and I don't have a FIX for this but if you have a laptop, it's best to try and do stuff like this on your laptop. Even if you have a desktop PC on a UPS, sometimes the UPS won't last long enough to complete the operation in the event of a power outage.
I always run these on my laptop.
yeah ive realized after this mistake i should probably flash with my sisters laptop.. phone was plugged in for a while and it was blinking red > solid red> nothing > blinking red.. so dont know whats up with phone
although ive never messed with bootloader the thing is im not with the provider that sells this phone, i bought it off someone on a BST site and unlocked it for my own provider. ill have to see if i can still warranty it.

From my experience... this phone just won't die... believe it or not.... tried one the craziest attempt to kill my friend's phone... (He want his phone to be dead in order to replace with Z1)
I just can't kill it....
I pulled out the USB cable when it was almost finish flashing... then I got the red LED..
Next I fired up Flashtool and chose flashing and load up the FTF and connect the phone when instructed by holding vol down and connect USB cable... surprise... surprise.... the phone is detected and start flashing...
With locked bootloader it is virtually impossible to kill this phone...

Press the red button near the SIM tray until you feel vibration.

1. Plug in your wall charger for about an hour.
Please don't connect the phone yet to PC.
2. Open Flashtool, select flash (the lightning logo).
3. Load up your XZU FTF and continue.
4. Wait until it shows the connection instruction.
5. Now by holding down the "Vol Down" and connect the USB.
Hope this helps if not your last option will be service center...
Good Luck.

Hello I Want To Ask U If I Flash Stock.ftf 4.3 From PAC ROM My IMEI Lost Right Is That Caused My Xperia Dont Want To Boot?
Please If Someone Know About It Please Reply As ASAP
Has it still got recovery? If so then you will need to flash a stock boot.img.
I guess you have an unlocked bootloader if so then the dual recovery one by ChilliChan for 4.3 will be ideal
Very interested to know a solution to this, here is my story,
I have 2 Z Ultras, 1 working fine with Root, UL-Bootloader, CyanMod, TWRM, and CWM.
The other.... well here's it's story.
I rooted the phone on 4.2, and went to OTA update to 4.3 last night. When I woke, My phone showed the dead android with the red exclamation.
No problem right? I used Sony PCC and attempted to recover, it said that your phone might be damaged and aborted the recovery process.
After that, my phone won't respond to me anymore, flashmode don't show any LED nor screen, Fastboot don't show any LED or screen, even the RED reset button doesn't cause my phone to vibrate. Plugging it in a wall socket gives no response.
Any ideas? Only rooted, Bootloaded is Locked, no recovery.
The only thing I had before I OTA update was root. I repeat, no recovery, bootloader is locked, no LED response, RED button doesn't work.

@YawningCat I think we need some more details - it is possible to get the phone re-working from a flashing red led.
"Device connected with USB debugging off" suggests that the device is partly powered on
these are the steps I would try, exactly as they are below:
1/ download (if you haven't got already) a generic, or one from your area, copy of .290 - I think I have seen you say that this is what you were trying to flash? if you have not already tried to flash .290 try .532 first as then you will not have imei issues.
2/ make sure all drivers for flashtool are installed - adb, s1, fastboot, etc
3/ start flashtool and select flash (lightning bolt)
4/ select flash mode
5/ select the ftf from step 1
6/ wait for flashtool to tell you to connect the phone
7/connect the usb cable to the PC
8/ press the red reset button until the phone vibrates
9/ connect the usb plug to the phone while holding the volume down key
10/ hope like hell it flashes

Hello!
I read for hours now, bot no luck
I flashed my x10a with flashtool with generic rom.
After flash, as the flashtool says, just turned off and on the phone.
But nothing happened(green led blink one and do a sort vibration, thats all..)
no logo, no sound nothing happens.
I tried to reflash again, but windows says: Cannot recognize the device
In the control panel device manager show "unknown device".
Because of this , cannot reflash with the tool, because it's waiting for the recognized device too..
when i press the back and connect the cable, the green lighting for a minute , and turns of..
Yes, i have the correct drivers(as you can see i flashed before).
Help me guyz, please, if U can
Does it go into flashmode?
Did you try flashing it regardless of unknown device in windows?

Try flashing back to stock non root. It may suck but at least you'll have a starting point. It'll read. Ust make sure you have newest flashtool. Just had the same problem with my x10. Its still havin troubles tho.

Try removing battery, insert usb cable, insert battery while holding back button. I spent 8 hours last night just trying to get back to stock. Your phone is semi bricked. Its a pain in the ass but it eventually works.

Hey go back to stock 1st then try rooting later,
1) launch pc companion
2) select support zone
3) now select phone software update
4) then click on repair phone
Now software will download the stock ROM along with stock kernel..
When the software asks you to connect in flash mode, do the following
1) turn off the phone
2) Remove battery
3) Connect the USB cable to phone as well as to the laptop
4) Place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from the left)
5) Green light should glow and the stock ROM and kernel should be flashed automatically..
When it's done you should have a stock unrooted X10, if you want then flash custom Rom after rooting it, be sure to unlock the boot loader if u want to flash custom kernel... Good luck

what do you mean by flashtool cant be done?
try this:
1) open flashtool
2) press the flash button and select any stock ftf firmware
3) now after pop up comes to connect phone in flashmode---- remove battery, connect the phone via usb, and lastly pressing back button insert battery simultaneously.
Now the flashing should start hopefully.
if this doesnt work please post the error you get in flashtool
i have the same problem with my phone only mine is x10i i reflashed 2.3.3. ftf ..like 7..8 times ..and still not working..btw smth the flashtool give me some error ..and other times works and says that the phone was flashed ..but phone still only 1 virbate and 1 blink green light now i am kinda bumped because i repair it once ...and now has the same problem

Now the phone working perfectly and going to my friend's service for fix the usb port problem.
Hi guys,
My phone just died this weekend and I'm not sure what the issue is. Bought it in April of this year so it's still under warranty.
Specs:
Non-GPe Xperia Z Ultra that's been running a GPe 4.4.2 rom since day 2 or 3. Never had any issues with it. It's seen water a couple of times but the flaps were always closed (and they usually are since I use a magnetic charger). Water damage indicator is bright white. Haven't done any updates or anything in a very long time, it just died Saturday mid-day.
What happens:
I hold power, it vibrates once, then 3 times quickly and nothing happens (powers off I assume). If I connect the charger to it (magnetic or USB) the light turns red briefly, vibrates 3 times, 2-3 second pause, then light turns red again and the loop starts. Nothing on screen in either case.
Edit: When I connect it to a PC, it goes vibe - red - green - vibe x 3 and then from the top.
What I've tried:
Power + vol up/vol down/both for a number of seconds.
Red button behind flap.
Bag of rice for a number of hours because who knows???
So I can send it back to Sony, but my worry is they'll somehow bring it back from the dead and realize the bootloader is unlocked and it's not running the official FW. Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated!
Try to repair your phone with SEUS software or try to reflash ftf file with a Flashtool. I had a similiar problem and that was the way I fixed it.

Just added this to my initial post: when I connect it to a PC, it goes vibe - red - green - vibe x 3 and then from the top. Sorry if this is a noob question but will SEUS work if I'm running a non-Sony rom? And you mean reflash the rom I'm currently on with flashtool?

That is good. It means that your phone is not dead and it is in flashmode. Download for example the latest SONY .108 FTF Rom from the general section, and try to flash it with flashtool. There isn't a GPe ROM which you could flash that way.
If you'll have any problems with flashing, you can always try to relock the bootloader and then repair it via SEUS. I did it when I had the same problem when I was on a GPe ROM.

Mine did something like this once while on a car charger (didn't seem to charge over night). would flash a red LED a couple of times then die. I left it on charge (wall charger/usb port) for the next night and it turned on the next day
Did you connect the charger the correct way on the last charge? Could be the voltage control chip?
You could try flashing a ftf, hold in the red reset button while connected to a PC while holding the vol down key. LED should flash blue then off. You will want a charged battery for this.
The best way to charge I thing will be a wall charger and hold the red reset button in for 5 -10 sec
I hope you get it working again

Flashtool connects briefly but the phone still keeps rebooting (vibe x 3 shortly after connection is established) so I certainly don't have enough time to flash anything

Do you connect it right after flashtool starts? Try to launch flashtool, select ftf file, wait for it to prepare, and then connect your phone when prompted to do so.

Try to connect it to USB while holding +up volume. Check if the blue led will light up. If yes, you should be able to relock manually via fastboot.

And what about flashmode drivers? Maybe try to reinstall them. It won't hurt us in that situation.
If you are on Win8 you should disable driver signature verification before installation.

True... I am just running out of ideas.
I bricked my phone, and I can't do anything with it. when I try to turn off the phone with power+vol up or when I try to turn it on then nothing happens. When I connect it to pc via usb cable then just the pc recognizes that I plugged in an usb device but it says it's unknown. I can't get into flashmode. I have my bootloader locked. My phone is a Xperia Z2.
now when I connect it to pc via usb cable it writes:
15/058/2015 12:58:31 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
15/058/2015 12:58:31 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

That is not bricked... Learn how to use Flashtool, this is just a normal message that the phone is connected.
What is a bricked phone?
A bricked phone does NOT vibrate or show anything on a screen (useless as a brick). If you can boot up, then your phone is soft-bricked.
Boot into fastboot mode
Turn off your phone, hold the "up" button and start the phone. Do that until you see "Device connected in Fastboot mode". Now you can flash a kernel. And you should really work on your post quality. You haven't even told us which phone you have.

I know how to use flashtool, and by your definitions, my device is bricked, and I have told you that my device is a Xperia Z2
First step: Make sure your phone is REALLY turned off, I mean completely. A blank screen doesn't mean it is off. Open the USB/ micro SIM flap and carefully press the little red button until it vibrates 3 times. That will do.

Then repair it by Flashtool or PC Companion. If you use Flahstool please select all the 3 wipes, and No final verification and Reset customizations for a clean install and less chance of a bootloop.

I had a very bad experience with an SP (C5303), almost brand new and phone was like a hard brick...turns out it was on a zombie state eating the battery; so when I found out the phone was unresponsive the battery was completely dead so Flashtool couldn't connect. Then I proceed to let the phone charging overnight and then it turned on like nothing never happened.

I bricked my phone, and I can't do anything with it. when I try to turn off the phone with power+vol up or when I try to turn it on then nothing happens. When I connect it to pc via usb cable then just the pc recognizes that I plugged in an usb device but it says it's unknown. I can't get into flashmode. I have my bootloader locked. My phone is a Xperia Z2.

There is one important information missing, what did you do that bricked your phone? Unless you really messed up your bootloader or TA partition you should be able to recover with flashtool. Most of the times flashtool fails it's a problem on your pc...check if correct drivers are installed, remove android emulators if you have any (andy, bluestacks) as they conflit with flashtool sometimes.
Very Best solution for this is when you connect your Phone to PC and start PC Companion, there is option repair Phone. It's download the correct version and instal on the Phone then all Working fine even when you have bricked Phone.
I do that more than once and It's working

use your pc comapanion.. select repair my phone than select your model phone.. it work.. i have try it on my z2:fingers-crossed:
Ok, hi guys... yesterday I misinterpreted some instructions before flashing Rajeev's PureX v4.1 rom... was on Niaboc79's ExistenZ Y v2.6.0... so went on, wiped and factory resetted... then, instead of formatting system/data, I formatted data AND system so obviously now it gets stuck at the Sony logo when booting because it has nothing to boot up and the only way to shut it off is with the small red button on the left side until it vibrates, resets then shuts off...
I then told myself I could simply flash a .FTF back from FlashTool, but alas, not this time... ok, I'm on D6503 Z2 with locked bootloader which is not unlockable... and now, when my phone's off and FlashTool asks to connect phone in flash mode the phone doesn't act as it normally would. when plugging usb cable, instead of the original green led, it quickly shows red, then green then nothing and on flashtool we can now see an error which is shown in the screenshot below.
Drivers are installed and I guess the problem now has to do with the bogus leds as they are the same just trying to connect in flash mode out of FlashTool... I Googled and read a lot about it yesterday on XDA and the only potential answer I could find was telling to flash a .ftf whrough FlashTool which was my first bet anyway but now, I really can't think of anything and would please appreciate your assistance about that... I hate to say this but I must admit what I'm requesting now is some help to get me through my own f*** up, please...
Might be a corrupt .ftf , try downloading another one or build your own with xperifirm+flashtool.
You can also try repairing with sony pc companion app...
Thanks for the quick answer... In fact I tested with 4 different ftfs I know are working... and as I said the problem is with the inability of phone to enter flash mode and its wrong leds when connecting to flash mode; not a software issue... I also tried with PCCompanion but it fails at detecting the phone since it freezes at the Sony logo and doesn't boot anything...
EDIT it also doesn't charge when I plug usb or ac. Instead it quickly toggles leds red, green, none one time and stays off... same way as when I try connecting it to flashmode holding vol-...
I've flashed many sony phones that don't boot / bootloop with flashtool and they always come to life again unless there's hardware problems
You phone is beeing detected in flashtool as beeing in flashmode so it's entering the correct mode. As a last resort i would try flashing on another pc/os , i still think it's pc related... are you using any android emulator on the pc? bluestacks / andy or that kind of stuff?
They cause loader.sin errors too... had that happen once on my work computer, uninstalled bluestacks and flashed fine afterwards.
Sorry i can't think of anything else right now...
I don't have another pc, but I reinstalled a pc backup so it is as when I originally set it up... reinstalled flashtool, reinstalled drivers and launched FlashTool to flash a .FTF. It just did the same as before flashes red, flashes green then nothing but the same errot message in FlashTool... but I noticed one thing, everytime I just plug phone to pc, Flashtool states it's in Flash mode as it is not. it was simply plugged in... and I don't use such as BlueStacks... and anyway the phone's leds react wrongly first then the asked action, flashing, cannot be applied hence the error message in FlashTool... thanx for your help...
I'm really used to flashing stuff and I know my mistake now was to format the system partition. From that time, it became impossible to flash any .ftf and the only info, signal I've got is the led quickly displaying red then green led intead of just green then starting to flash, when cable is plugged in, holding VOL-...
Damn formatting the system partition should not hard-brick your phone bro i've done exactly the same mistake on my also unlockable BL Z2 a long time ago, wiped everything and rebooted the phone without flashing the rom xD phone would only show sony logo (can't remember led status) but it flashed normally and came back to life. maybe you got really really unlucky and your bootloader got messed up somehow :| You already did everything i would have done without success, i'm also out of ideas... but xda is full of great minds, maybe someone else can help you better.
You are absolutely right... I had done the same mistake on my xperia T, a while back, and a simple flash from flashtool had taken care of it... I don'T even come to ask for help, usually... when I mess things up, I have always succeeded in bringing the thing back to life... until now...
thanx a lot for your help.
EDIT: Oh, even worse now... when flashtool is done preparing the FTF to be flashed and asks to plug in phone holding VOL-, I tried just plugging the phone WITHOUT holding any button and it did the exact same error I screenshotted earlier, with same red/green/none scheme... So computer really sonsiders phone to be in flashmode from the moment it's plugged in...
No problem, wish i could help more. It does seem like your phone is stuck on fastboot or flashmode. If you just power on the phone and connect it to pc (no flashtool running) does your pc device manager detect your phone? what device does it detect? If you connect in fastboot mode (vol up + plugin usb cable) what do you see in the device manager? Maybe try completely discharging your phone, leave it powered on for a day or so until the battery dies completely, maybe it'll "reset" to normal mode? Just throwing some ideas now, at least we're keeping the thread alive, maybe someone more expert will look at it too
Why you guys quoting every post? Makes it tedious scrolling on mobile.
@rubiicon59 old habits lol xD i edited my posts and removed the quotes, since no one else is participating in the thread they aren't really needed...

first, sorry for the late answer... ok,,, when I only plug usb cable into phone, it is not detected... However, I can boot into fastboot and then it's detected in device manager as in the screenshot below... But, it does flash red just before turning blue for fastboot... just the same quick red flash as when I plug USB in...

Just a quick tip- don't use the red button, it is only for emergency and it is annoying to open the flap everytime. Instead, use the Power + Volup and hold for a few seconds.
WOW! reallly can'T say why it didn't work first time, but I tried reinserting sd card and retake it out, started one last time to flash a .ftf and it worked.... Great, now back on my backup... everything working as it should now....
thanx to @BlAckXpeRia for the reminder tip... Red button should only be used when everything else failed to shut the phone down...
and of course, thanks to @ptmaniac for your help all along these stressful last 2 days... THANKS!!!
oh yeah, SOLVED
Nice!! i really really like this phone, i would be very sad if it died on me like that, good to hear you got your phone back
M having same issue without any SD card, what should I do ? :'(

Download this

install the drivers and try flashmode again.
Do you perhaps know if your bootloader is unlocked?
If so try to get into fastboot mode ( volume up ) and flash a custom kernel like androplus that has recovery.
Then flash a stock pre-rooted zip.

Hi dude.
Try to press and hold power and volume up buttons together for a 10 seconds until your phone vibrate 3 times,maybe help.
Ofcourse,your battery must me charged even 10 %.

already tried...didnt vibrate..also tried red small button near sim card slot..nothing happens too...the only thing that happen is what i mention on the question when connecting to charger...actually..i tried almost everything that i get from internet..but..maybe someone know something..other way..to get my phone back to life..so i asked here..just maybe there are solution...thanx anyway
If your screen turn on even for a second when you connect to the charger there must be a solution.
The bad thing should be if screen not responding at all and that would mean that motherboard is dead.

looks like you phone freezed.
Try to use hard reset button, because "Device Connected with USB Debugging off" means your phone is turned on.
Press and hold hard reset button (near SIM Slot, small red button) for a moment to 3 buzzes. Then leave this button. Try to turn on. If it won't boot, do the same procedure and your phone will be turned off. Connect your phone in flashmode, FlashTool should recognize it.
Hope it helps, got similar problem, it has fixed it
