Hello!
I try to hard reset my sister phone today using this methods:
- Pc Companion
- Vol up + power button
I even try flashtool and emmy to help me remove this lock screen (my sister changed it and now she don't remember...)
I also can not unlock bootloader with FlashTool.
When I press vol up + power button phone vibrate like this
- 1 time
- 3 time
- 1 time
and it loops like that. one vibration, then three, then one again. What's wrong with my phone? It is possible that phone is locked "harder" becouse she try so many times and fail? Around 150.. USB debug mode is turned off
Of course she don't remember his gmail account details (isn't it obvious) I don't know how to help her, any ideas?
Now, the only solution you have in this scenario is by using the repair option of Sony PC Companion or you can also use flashtool to flash your firmware again.

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
I have a d6603 Z3 on 5.1.1. I attempted to use flashtool to downgrade my firmware as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
After allowing it to flash, the last lines were:
10/058/2015 23:58:25 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
10/058/2015 23:58:25 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
Once I did that, the phone would start and during the boot process it would freeze and restart. Connecting to my computer shows that the battery is at 50% no matter how long it's connected. I've tried holding the power button with volume up, or power with volume down, and doing those two while connecting to computer, and nothing. Pressing the yellow button and getting the vibrations don't help. Trying to use PC Companion Repair, but that's not getting anywhere because when I hold the volume button while connecting the device, it doesn't recognize the device. Sometimes the phone will vibrate once while holding volume down when I do that. Still nothing. I'm at my wits end here.
looks like software brick. If you havent unlocked the bootloader go to service center and get it done. but you will get latest 5.1.1.
dont tell them you used flashtool n all.
Hmm, I'll have to wait til support lines open up. I'll report back sometime in the morning/afternoon.
I've just contacted Sony. They want me to send the device in for repair. I didn't tell them what I was attempting to do, only that I was in a boot loop.

I was in the same case and resolved it that way :
Note : locked bootloader
* installed flashtool on my computer (debian 8) : http://www.flashtool.net
* downloaded stock firmware for my isp (orange, france) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061
* followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187952&postcount=2 to flash the ftf using flashtool
* got my phone erased and back to stock KK but no more boot loop, and no sending to sony for repair.
Hope this helps and will work for you.
If you use pc companion try going into fix phone and manually select the phone model your fixing and it should force a flash through. Your just going to have to charge it up a bit if possible.
Worked for my boot looping D6616 which I had never hooked up to pc companion before.
Best of luck

Hey, I have this ancient Xperia Ion that I haven't used for years and recently decided to turn it on coz I have a prepaid card from a different country. Cgarged it and turned it on, all worked well until I got to the screen lock part.. I have no idea what pin (the four digit number) I put back then. Tried plenty of combos but I just can't unlock it. Tried to hold volume down and power button to perform a data wipe but the phone starts normally with no options. For 0.01 seconds I see some text and then Sony log appears. Emma flashtool does not work since my phone 's bootloader is not unlocked. I tried to use the xperia companion but upon pressing volume down and then connecting I get an error message telling me to contact sony support.
Tried opening the xperia support page but the Xperia Ion phone has been removed and I don't have it listed on my personal sony page as I didn't bother to register it there...
Is there anything else I can do to wipe the data or anything whatever just to bypass the screen lock?
PS. I don't have an android manager set up, all I can do is call my phone and send a request that I can\t open since my phone is screen locked.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the vague explanation, n00b here.
PS2 I can't post in the xperia Ion subforum since I don't have the required posts to do so
1.Unlock with google account(Android 4.4 or below)
Put any wrong pattern until 5 times then there will be a messages "Forgot Pattern?" Click it and follow the instruction
2.Restore your data from lock screen using computer.
Download "Android Data Recovery" to your pc and run it,choose more tools then choose android screen removal and follow the step,after that,choose download mode,and follow the step.
Note:You have to debug your USB and choose "MTP" mode in advance.
3.Reset Phone to factory setting
Thats what i can help,Hope its helpful
1 is not available as I don't have a pattern, it's the four number pin code and there is no option "forgot pin"
I tried yesterday and it said it only supports a few Samsung phones.
Now I tried to debug the USB (I think it was selected on my phone.. Can't remember) which instantly caused a bad pool caller bsod.
3. I can't do because the hard key combo will do nothing.
Already flash recovery before?If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or you can press volume + button 5-6 times while booting,so you can wipe data to delete your password data
Note:Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
Or if the solution above still not working,you could try other ways :

The last way is to bring your phone to serviceperson...maybe they can help.
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

hi there,
thanks for your response,
my phone is no longer being recognized by my laptop - i have tried a bunch of things - it doesn't boot loop any more - if i turn it on ( well attempt to) it will just show a no battery picture - out of 20 times of trying to get it into fast boot mode it the green LED will flash for a second or so and then it will turn off again.
i have tried to leave my phone on charge for a whole weekend to see if it worked - but it still shows that it has no battery

You dont need put your phone in fastboot mode than flashmode.
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5
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 ?
I flashed a wrong recovery img... now the Xperia c2305 is not booting. It is only showing red light when i connect to computer.
I tried the PC companion method and wmshua flash tool. but it doesn't detect my phone.
How to repair this ??
How can i repair this using testpoint method or Meta mode method??
so your pc doesn't detect your phone?
when you plug your usb + press volume down at the same time green light should appear, what happen in your case?
same problem

I flashed a wrong recovery.img and that's it the phone wouldn't boot. If I connect to pc companion it just shows blinking orange light but is not detected. This is what I have found out
1. the phone is struck in a bootloop which drains all the battery -- Press the hard reset button at the back of the phone to break from this loop
2. Put the phone on charge for a while ( now it should at least show a steady orange led indicative of charging) as this is needed for software repair
3. Use software repair in sony pc companion for restoring stock android os. -- if the phone is not detected when you plug in while holding volume down key, then release the key once and again press and hold it while the usb is still connected (this worked for me)
4. once the phone is detected and repairing has started the process may fail in between and pc companion may say repair failed!(don't loose hope) -- disconnect from pc, press hard reset button again and repeat steps 3 & 4. ( the repairing process will resume and will be completed slowly)
Note: If your phone is struck at sony logo or is not fully switched off press and hold the power+volume up key together to first switch if off and then connect to pc companion
