Sony Xperia Z3 HARD BRICKED

Hi. My device is hardbricked. I see no lights while charging. Flashtool doesn't see my device.how can i fix this?
Edit:Easily fixed it.I plugged my device into the computer.I entered platform-tools and flashed boot.img.I saw "waiting for device" And i pressed volume up and power buttons. Suddenly boot flashed and i recovered my phone

You are very unlikely to have hard bricked it unless you have unlocked the boot and flashed something wrong.
If you did this please help us help you by telling us what you did just before this happened.
Also, just leave the phone on charge (Wall charger) for 24 hours and then see what happens.
In the mean time read this

solution for no LEDs no response no fastboot devices.
Take two rubberbands one to hold down the power button and one to hold down the volume up button on Xperia Z3 dual. I spent a lot of time figuring this out. Alter a few minutes the phone just booted up from the dead. It worked for me 3 times. Now if someone can tell me how to fix the fastboot remote command not allowed error I'll be happy.

Hello
I had the same problem with REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED till i managed to solve it.
1st thing you need to clean that ANDROID folder you made on C: drive.Install all from the begining including flashtool.Boot windows to install unsigned drivers.In the flash tool folder youll find the driver downloader,just enable usb debugging and choose Mass Storage not MTP .; You have 4 options usb debug on/off and usb connectivity MTP or Mas Storage ;with every version selected connect and disconnect from pc with flashtool running.
When you use Fastboot start the flashtool and close it if it cant kill ADB (that assuming you succeeded in installing drivers).
Good Luck

Try a different driver package from another download source and use another usb on your pc.
Maybe it works. If your device can enter flash mode it definitely can be recovered.

The green led indicates flash mode so the problem is probably on your PC not detecting it properly. Does it show up in the system manager of windows if you plug it in at all? (Like a new device/android with a yellow triangle)
You could also try to fastboot a recovery and flashing a ROM from there. Not sure if it works but that's what I would try.

i m not even able to fastboot a recovery ...tried twrp and cwm both of them...

Me too

in my phone after charging 24h, only the red LED blinks, this is not normal any suggestions?
--------------edit
ok another week and still nothing
maybe I'll describe the problem:
I wanted to upload clean soft 5.1.1 and flash it
after the phone turned off it's start in recovery i used zip with SU and the phone turned off with no respond i try too reset (vol- + vol+ + power) but no reaction
there were no three vib
so I found that you have to reset the button under the sd flip
after this treatment you already know the charging of 3 days and only the red LED blinks
So any suggestions??

I‘m having the same problem, I can’t open my Xperia Z3. I tried with holding on/off button, holding volume up and on/off button, holding volume down and on/off button. When I connect it to PC, nothings happen. No vibrates, no led on, no screen on. What should I do?

Like you I have a Xperia Z3 mines the 6633 variant.. Signs were showing it to be hard bricked, for example:
No led charge indication!
No power led!
No fastboot leds!
No USB detection sound when plugging into windows.
Literally a Z3 that was essentially a glass brick I bought off ebay for £6.50 GBP for spares/repair.
Since I had a bricked device, I had nothing to loose.
I applied heat to the rear glass with a hair drier & removed the panel, I removed the battery ribbon cable & plugged in via USB only to find the phone would show LEDs so put it on charge.
The Z3 now goes into flash mode, so then re-flashed a stock ROM from flashtool. I did a apps log & user data wipe, cust reset & fota reset.
To date I have no idea why the phone would not take a charge before or even detect via USB, though Id say give this method a go, you may be surprised!!
Good luck

Problems with my d6633 Z3 Dual

Hallo people,
I have a very big problem with my d6633. I installed tonight TWRP - so fas, so good. After installing TWRP asked me to root the device, I said YES. My bootloader was unlocked. Then I couldn't exit TWRP. After every reboot the device started into TWRP. Now I can not start the device. I tried with Power+ Volume+, reset button - nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

How much % did it have before you started the procedure?
Did you try holding down vol+ and then plugging it into USB?

Hello Jkay7,
Thanks for your support. My solution was to leave the device switched off over the night. Connected via original cable. Today in the morning my dyouzhengwen evice was detected via flash tool and as youzhengwen suggested I could flash the original ftf file.

Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633
I have tried just about every method seen. My problem with the flashtool or PC companion is that the phone is recognized by the computer but I can only start to turn the device on which I don't believe it actually boots. Broken display and new display does not power on.
Or it connects in fastboot by holding volume up when connecting. This shows a blue led.
But trying to connect in flash mode by holding power down just makes the led flash red then green continuously.
And for the pc companion it always says the connection was unsuccessful once the led turns green on the device.
I got the phone for only $40 in this condition. So I cannot say what entirely was wrong or what it's last working state was.
I bought a new screen and power flex cable. As well as a back plate and tempered glass protectors. I was going to wait until everything works perfect speakers and all before I sealed it tight with water proof adhesive stickers.
Even before I bought the new power flex the computer recognized it and the battery health and charge %. The battery was able to charge. But I couldn't turn the device on.
The computer confirmed that it had been at 29% after some time charging and then 100% after leaving it on charge.
Now with the new screen and power cable the phone still does nothing if not plugged it. The light was red at first, but then yellow, then after some time green when the battery fully charged. This was again even before the new parts.
I have to plug it in to try anything.
It goes red then starts to turn on and turns green.
But I hear no sound, get no vibrations, the computer only sees it as the phone and shows absolutely nothing on the removable disk. Just blank when I click on the drive volume. But it is seen as an Xperia D6633 phone or fastboot Android device.
I've tried the reset button, holding power and volume up, volume down, all three. Tried my factory cable. Different cables, different ports, uninstalling it from service manager and letting the flash tool recognize and install it.
I also tried the new display on the old power flex and the old display on the new power flex.
Nothing changed, no vibrations, no sounds, system never actually fully starts as far as I can tell, and cannot connect in flash mode only fast boot. And the flashable file is only seen in flash mode. Fastboot can only see the folder but it is ready to flash files as far as I can tell.

@xdathekilljoy
That's a lot of money you're putting into an (apparently) broken phone Brave!
Okay so what happens if you hold Vol+ while it's shut down and then connect it to USB, the LED turns blue, right?
So why does flashing it from there on not work?

Well it didn't seem that broken at first and both it and the display were only about 37 piece. Power flex was almost 10. Seemed like a rightful price.
Yes the led turns blue and it is in fastboot mode. The flash file seems to only be readable for flashing in flash mode "volume down". I can see the folder of the flash file in fastboot mode " volume up ", but not in a flashable format.
And when connecting " volume down " it fails a connection while the led just flashes green to red to green to red continually

Two updates
1. I thought I should mention that when I do plug the phone in to a charger or computer the top does get a bit warm or hot as well as the led turns on. Different color depending.
2. With much fiddling and trying if holding the volume down button for different lengths of time while connecting up a computer I finally got it to connect in flash mode and flashed a file...... No change.
At this point maybe I should try a new battery for the hell of it even though this one seems to be working.
Or there is a minute hardware damage somewhere. Maybe the power ic? Or s capacitor?

Hard Bricked T-Mobile Z3, Doesn't turn on at all

I have T-Mobile Z3 (D6616) that I rooted and flashed TWRP on with no issues. Today I tried to flash ZyxxOS on it. after wiping and installing I went to reboot. The phone only powered off and then no matter what I do will not power on. I've tried all the button combos, LED's don't flash, I used the little yellow button by the sim, nothing.
If there is anything I can add let me know and I'll try to help to the best of my abilities.
thanks, Nathan
EDIT: If anyone can help me to the point that the phone boots or is completely fixed, I'll buy you a 6 pack of beer (or soda if you're too young to drink)
EDIT2: I let the phone charge all night and now (still plugged in) the notification LED is glowing red

Try to boot into Fastboot mode by holding the volume up then plug in the usb into your phone, if it detects then use the sony tool to reflash your firmware and it should work. If fastboot doesnt detect then I don't know what else to say.

How long did you hold the reset button for? I had the same issue with a z2 tablet and I had to hold the button for at least 2 minutes.

So I left the phone on the (wall) charger all night and when I woke up the notification light was red. I hit volume down +power and the phone vibrated 3 times but nothing else happened. After that I tried connecting it to flash tool with a rubberband on the volume up botton. Flashtool's notification screen thing kept repeating "phone connected adb disabled" and then "device disconnected". I let it do that for about an hour before I took it off and put it back on the charger.
Should I still try and reset it by holding it for a few minutes? I read the softbrick thread linked above but i'm not sure what I should do or where my situation fits into that thread.
thanks, Nathan

Try this, open up flashtool and select your firmware, then click on the flash icon, after you clicked flash hold the volume down while connecting the usb cable and see if it the led changes from red to green/blue. Also what version of flashtool are you using? Maybe thats why its not detecting via the rubberband method. Also give this a go as well:
Recovery Mode:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP + Volume Down Key
then Press and hold Power key while pressing these keys
then press Camera key to enter Android System Recovery
Release all key when you see Android icon

If you plug in your charging cable and a red led is on that means it is powered off. So just try the button combination I have mentioned and hope it boots into stock recovery to try a factory reset.

Darn, not much you can do since USB Debugging is disabled. Also is PC companion running the same time as Flashtool? That can conflict with it. If they are both running make sure to close PC companion and give it another go. Three red blinks means the battery is drained completely, but you said you charged it overnight. hmmmmm.....
EDIT: Leave it charging using original cable + wall charger for 10-30 minutes, after that unplug from wall charger with cable still intact then hold volume up and plug to PC and hope you see the Flashmode LED.

Xperia Z5 E6683 dual - Boot looping

Hi all,
i have been attempting to root my Z5 dual, i have unlocked the bootloader no issues.
but when i got to the stage of trying to flash TWRP.img thats where i ran into issues, it flashed ok - but now my phone won't boot - it is just stuck on the white sony screen.
the only way to turn it off is to hard reset ( hold power button and the volume buttons until it vibrates 3 times ) - then it will power on if i hold down the volume key and press the power button - or plug it into a wall charger..
when it does turn on it gets to the sony screen - the LED goes white, then amber for a second or two then the LED turns off..
im not too sure what to do now guys - my laptop wont pick up my device any more so it seems as though i have soft bricked it. i have also tried the P.c companion thing also but it says i have modded software so it can't do it lol.
help me pls

Hi,
If you already have installed the z5 drivers on you laptop (i assume this is the case because pc companion is installed and detect your phone), guess you can try to flash a stock Rom of your contry using flastool, your laptop will normally detect your z5 cause you connect it thanks to a special manipulation (vol - + connexion while button is maintained) .
Try this if everything goes great, it will fix the bootloop issue.

I got the same prob and eveb worse (battery 0% and wasnt charging) i hard rest it ( vol up+ power) and left it for 10 seconds then i pluged into my laptop while holding vol down and suprisly my laptop detected my phone and i was saved ! But i was scared about the flashig procsess as my battery was 0% lol

You dont need put your phone in fastboot mode than flashmode.

flashmode not fastboot mode . make sure u install flashtool drivers and fastboot drivers and ur devices drivers as well. dont skip this just cause u think u did it. if you are on a windows pc windows 8 - windows 10 , you have to disable signature verification in order to install the drivers. if you dont know about that , tell me to explain . apart from that , what commmand did you use to flash twrp? fastboot flash boot twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery twrp.img? if you did the first , thats why it doesnt boot. and apart from that , can you at least enter the recovery ?

Xperia xz does not enter flashmode help :(

Hello, this is my first publication...
A few days ago I made the update of my terminal, from version 6.0.1 and I can not flash version 7 from flashtool, everything worked fine, after flashing the computer was up to version 7.1.1, after a few days observe Which at the time of downloading and connecting the computer started with constant restarts or bootloops, until you can turn it on, also the computer occasionally has problems with the speaker, plus flash failure does not turn on ...
All this happened after flashing it
I can not enter the flash mode, pressing the volume button -, the phone turns on the green light and turns off and on again and is not detected by the computer, I would greatly appreciate the help!
Please

Thank you for responding to my post.
- from the hard power off: VOL + and Off
I do it several times, and still nothing
- from the factory reset
It is restored by the sony configuration and neither does the equipment works normal except for the LED flash of the camera, and sometimes the problem of the mentioned speakers
In addition to proving in 3 different computers, with two different cables in addition, installing the drivers and everything, I do not know what else to do, when I connect the phone with fastboot is recognized, or through trasnferencia, there is no problem with that, only the flashmode .

I have the same problem with my XZ but found a workaround. When prompted to turn of your phone and plug it in flash mode reboot the phone instead. When the screen goes black hold the volume down, when the phone turns back on it will go into flash mode. Works for me every time.

Strange enough I reproduce this "flashing green-led" flashmode issue today, but it was the USB cable problem (type c -> type c).
The cable in question can access mtp mode and fastboot mode normally thou.
It is likely not the same issue like yours, but still very strange.

I have the same problem with my XZ but found a workaround. When prompted to turn of your phone and plug it in flash mode reboot the phone instead. When the screen goes black hold the volume down, when the phone turns back on it will go into flash mode. Works for me every time.

same problem can not enter flashmode but can enter fastbootmode....

I have the same problem.
I've found that my phone does not enter flash mode at the first Led flash, so plug the cable while hoding volume up (fastboot mode), if the led just flashing blue then I hold volume down to get into flash mode. else if it connected in fastboot mode then i just unplug it and do again.

Thanks for the tip! Works well with my Xperia XZ + Lenovo T460 + Aukey USB cable combo.
Had a headache with phone not entering the flash mode. Flashtool said it's connected in recovery mode, usb debugging off. Perhaps sth to do with trying to update the TWRP to the latest version (3.2.2) via the PlayStore app and turning the recovery non-functional. I wanted to update to the latest FW before reflashing TWRP in fastboot mode.
