After one night leave it alone, i tried again, no response at all ,however, when i plugged into adapter, the led light became red, then after a while, it began to blink in red.
Please help me, what should i do with this condition?

You should reinstall your firmware using Sony PC companion. Download it and it will give you instructions how to repair your phone. Make sure you have all the necessary drivers installed. this is official and simple method to repair your phone
Secondly , you can alternatively use FLASHTOOL.

my phone is still bricked. when using flashtool in flashmode, connected to the PC, it repeats the following message:
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
INFO - Device disconnected
Device connected with USB debugging off
For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
INFO - Device disconnected
and the led light is red on, then off, then on ....
if i try to connect it to the power adapter, the led light is red with fast blink. And I try to use another power adapter (iphone's ), the red light is on, continuously for about 20 minutes, then off, at this time ,if i try to reconnect to the power adapter, the led is still off. after try power button or vol+ button, then the led is back again , but with the same status.
is there anything I can do with my z3? I'm desperate...
thanks a lot !!

did you hold the Vol+ button when inserting the microusb? Also, the device must be completely off (power+vol+)

turn off your device.
Hold power+volume up button and then connect your device via a USB. If however, the device disconnects, you should keep holding the power button and do not leave it.
Lastly, upgrade your drivers from flashtool folder!
Good Luck

you mean inserting the microusb connected with power adapter using vol+button? I tried ,but the led light still fast blinking in red.
I thought maybe the fast blinking means the phone cannot charge in.

i hold the power button and vol+ button with rubber bang, connect to power adapter, however, no led light on!

Do this , Make sure you load all the files in flashtool and it is waiting for the device.
When it is waiting to flash, hold down power+volume key and connect it. Connecting before means, you will have to hold it for a long time
If it doesnot work, your drivers are outdated which as i suggested upgrade from flashtool folder

no;
when NOT connected: press power + vol+. After that you get two vibrations from the device, this means the device is off.
after that, hold ONLY vol+, and connect it to your PC, with Flashtool waiting for the device using flashmode.

the device will never vibrate, no response at all!

I went to customer service yesterday, they said my device is completely no response to any test and need to change the mainboard....how could a basically flash(just flash 5.0.1 with bootloader never unlocked) will result in such a disaster?! I cannot understand!!

Hard Bricked After TWRP Restore

I was restoring a TWRP restore, and it said completed and whatever, but now the phone won't boot or vibrate at all. I've tried plugging into computer, holding volume buttons, nothing works! The only thing that happens is the led turns red when is plugged into charger and power button is being held, otherwise it blinks red. How do I fix the bad restore?

Not currently rooted as I see no need (for my usage) on this phone.
Had a similar issue long back with an HTC One X, it first went in to a bootloop one day and then in CWM it showed internal storage as non mountable and finally ended up like yours where it would not turn on. Ended up being a bad NAND I am guessing as they had to replace the motherboard. I think you just had bad luck, just get it replaced.......
However in one last attempt try charging for like a day and try turning it on could even be a bad battery to be honest... though probably you still want to replace it
Option 1:
Plug your phone into your turned on computer with the USB cable and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge using the wall charger.
Option 2 (not likely to work):
Plug your phone into your wall socket with the USB cable and wall charger and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge through your turned on computer using the USB cable.
If neither of these work (as dumb as this may sound)turn off your phone and put your phone in the freezer for 15-30 minutes (This is done to discharge the battery, wont break your phone). When you've left it there for your chosen time, try option 1 again. If that doesn't work, turn the phone off again and put it back in the freezer for the same time and try option 2. If they don't work, i'm sorry I don't know how to help you.

Hi , you probably facing the 0volt
You can check by open your phn the battery statut using a tool named a voltmeter then if you see 0 you should do that
First way
Manualy charge with 4.9 volt your battery with any tool (by puting rod on the plot - and +, it's really easy if you need help I can teach you , you just need the tool . )
Charge it a bit but enought until you see the return power do not stop . Then put it on your phn and finish by charging with a wall charger your device
And be progressife for prevent any damage
Second solution
If you're a moldu regarding this previous explain you can also buy a new OEM battery with out warently it was your problem even if you check and see 0 volt caus you can also don't know how use the tool
Have a nice day

[SOLVED] Tried to install TWRP and bricked my phone

Hello everyone
Please help me
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 with Android 4.4.4
Firmware is D6633_23.0.F.1.74_CE
I tried to install TWRP on my phone using this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/root-stock-kernel-twrp-v01-test-28-09-t2889794?__utma=248941774.950623471.1412017766.1412017766.1412017766.1&__utmb=248941774.1.10.1412017766&__utmc=248941774&__utmx=-&__utmz=248941774.1412017766.1.1.utmcsr=l.facebook.com%7Cutmccn=(referral)%7Cutmcmd=referral%7Cutmcct=/lsr.php&__utmv=-&__utmk=228295838
Since the links in the thread are down it was hard for me to get the bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img file
But after an hour of googleing finally I got it from another Android forum https://mdforum.ru/showthread.php?t=16534
Then, as mentioned in the tutorial I went into bootloader / fastboot mode and entered following command
fastboot flash boot bootZ3dualmonxtest01.img
But it didn't work. Now my phone is bricked. It's powered off and I can't turn it on again
It doesn't respond to anything
Pressing Powerbutton - Nothing
Pressing Power + Volume Up/Down - Nothing
Hold Volume down and connect to PC - Nothing
Connect to 230V Adapter for charging - Nothing
ADB doesn't recognize the phone
Flashtool responds "Device disconnected"
So I can't flash back stock ROM
Please help me out. What went wrong? How can I fix it? Is it repairable or is my phone hard bricked?
Thank you for your answers

Edit:
After several hours of googleing and trying I found a solution that worked for me

My Z3 would not power up and no charge LED when cable plugged in. Finally found this solution on Sonymobile support website which fixed my phone!
To force the device to restart
Detach the SIM card slot cover.
Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") until the device has emitted three vibrations, and then release the OFF button. The device turns off automatically.
Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.
Turn on your Xperia™ device.
If a forced restart procedure as described above doesn't succeed in turning on your device, you should try another kind of forced restart - the 2-minute restart procedure.
To force a 2-minute restart
Detach the SIM card slot cover.
Using the tip of a pen or similar object, press and hold down the small OFF button (generally indicated by the text "OFF") for 120 seconds (ignoring any vibrations), and then release the OFF button.
Charge the device until a charging icon appears on the screen.
Turn on your Xperia™ device.
I had to hold the 'off' button for about 60 seconds before the phone vibrated and sprung into life - phew!

In my case there were no vibrations. I just held the button down for 120sec and it worked. Then I was able to flash back stock ROM

I just posted a bunch of my trial and error work at:
Post in thread 'Unable to enter EDL' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-enter-edl.4288003/post-86868743
So far my thought on the LED flashing on my phone is that it happens when there is a "power-up". So if the battery is dead or disconnected, I'll get a flash when it's plugged in. If the battery isn't dead and it's connected, I don't think it flashes, and I assume it has something to do with power already being provided.
The confusing thing to me is that if I hold the power button for about 10 seconds, while plugged in, with the battery disconnected, the LED will flash. Also, if I hold the volume-down button, it will flash about every 20 seconds. But it doesn't flash when doing either of those things while the battery is connected.
Does any of this apply to your phone?
