when you connect your phone in flashmode green light should stay on (press & hold vol down then plug usb in)
it should show
"device connected in flashmode"
IF you want fastboot mode
when you connect your phone in fastboot mode blue light should stay on (press & hold vol up then plug usb in)
NOTE-it should actually do bootloops....not sure why red light

Sometimes flash tool, while flashing tells me to turn on usb debugging (although its already on). So what do I do? Wait. After ten minutes(approx), device disconnects automatically and then flashtool requests me to connect in flash mode. So I disconect my usb cable and connect it again in flash mode and voila! flash begins. Worked for me, hope it works for u too..

yes thats a common mistake
on flashmode connect phone in flashmode only when asked (or like you said ...you will have to do twice)
on fastboot mode your phone has to be connected in fastboot before selecting the fastboot mode

I'm having very similar trouble, i flashed FXP CM10 a little while ago until the phone stopped receiving a signal (which has happened a few times using CM10), unfortunately the battery died before i got home to flash it again. 3 days and 7 hours later and the battery still hasn't charged, i've managed to boot into android very quickly while it's connected to a wall charger but i get nothing at all if i try and connect in flashmode or fastboot.
Is the battery dead? Is there something i'm probably missing? I figured this might go to someway with hoping the OP.
[Edit: Good news! I've plugged into USB and i can get to the battery bar with the power symbol, maybe i can get to flashmode after all!]
[Edit 2:] Noticing the phone had just enough power to get to the battery/power symbol screen, held down the volume button for about a minute till it went through that cycle and managed to get it into flashmode, installed stock and plugged it into the wall. 5 mins later i hit the power button and it's working again! Hooray!

use jim34 cm10 with hsr0 kernel....FXP IS CRAP for daily use

don't connect your phone to the pc until flashtool asks you to. I get that thing sometimes when I reflash a rom or kernel

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?

Bricked Xperia z3v Won't go into download mode.

Hi XDA. I did something very stupid to my Xperia z3v. I rooted my phone and went to install a custom rom. But didn't unlock boot loader which lead to my phone being bricked. I have been researching for a while trying to repair my phone. Stuck using an iPhone.
When phone is plugged into a power source the red led flashes while the phone vibrates.
When phone is plugged into a power source and volume up is held a constant blue led is on
When phone is plugged into a power source and volume down is held phone led flashes red then green while vibrating with each red flash of the led.
Please help. Every thing I'm reading says I have to get green to stay on for download mode to us flashtool.

[help] Z3 Completely dead (no vibration / no led / no charging / no flash mode)

Hello everybody!
I recently wanted to use a custom rom..
So I Flashed the stock firmware the .291 build. after that I wanted to flash twrp recovery.
So I downgraded the kernel to ,575 then flashed the recovery file, and from the recovery I flashed the Existenz rom (.291 based).
Then I rebooted the device,, Unfortunately I got a boot loop on SONY logo.
So I reflashed the stock firmware (.291) throw flashtool. but flash didn't complete,,, and I got boot loop again.
after that I DON'T KNOW why I flashed the .575 kernel.. Flash completed,, phone turned off
then it's COMPLETELY DEAD.. no signs of life
I tried every power- volume combinations, but I got no vibrations nor leds. and the charging sign doesn't appear when connecting the device to a power supply.
I only hear the connection sound when I connect the device to the computer and press volume down + power button for 10 secs, but it shows nothing on computer!
Any help would be appreciated

Your best bet if it shows no sign of life is to charge for a few hours to make sure it has enough battery.
Hopefully the red light comes on at some point. Either way try leaving it plugged in for a few hours.
Then you can try flashing again.
Ensure all the drivers are properly installed for flashtool.
Ensure you have the correct ftf for your device!
Start flash mode for a full .291 ftf and plug the phone in while holding down the volume down button as normal.
Try this repeatedly until you get a connection.
Alternatively you can wrap a very tight rubber band around the volume down key and connect it while flashtool is in flashmode.
If you're lucky a connection will be made and flashtool will have time to flash the firmware.
Persistence is key here. Many times a brick can be saved but it can take a long time.
Good luck and I hope it works

keep it on charge overnight.flash again when led turns on

Not able to get into EDL or Fastboot

Hi Everyone,
Recently I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp after upgrading to OOS 13 after that I have not able to access any storage(including OTG) so I had changed the format of disk. Now its stuck is bootloader and show qualcomm icon when starting and just keep on trying to boot(stuck at logo not a loop or anything). I am not able to get into the EDL mode or fastboot for that matter any suggestions
Video is uploaded to show the icon it continues to normal oneplus logo boot and stays there

can you hold vol - and power with it unplugged until the screen goes black, then fast as lightning hold both volumes and plug it in? I used to have this device and I'm trying to remember what I did to get out of that.

I had always waited till the phone got discharged and then tried again EDL used to work when I had the flashboot but now it not a possibility it resumes into the unlocked bootloader alert (sometimes press power to pause or continue to boot) and then logo not matter which combo of the buttons I tried

If nothing works you can always take the back off and unplug the battery.

Doesn't discharging the phone will also do the same or are you suggesting me to go into edl by removing battery cover and plugging in like the old mediatek recovery method

Have you tried unplugging the device, using volume up and power to fully shut off the device, then wait a second, and switch to volume up and down, while plugging in? Important to keep it unplugged until going into EDL.

It's already fully shutoff when I discharge it to recover from the boot animation. The keys combo don't work at only power button work to continue or pause boot
