Hello,
I think I might be at the end of the road with my tablet. I've never rooted it or tampered with it in an way, however yesterday it locked up so I did the usual soft reset (hold power and vol+ for 10 seconds) I then turned it back on and the sony logo popped up, but there it just hung. If I press and hold the power button it switches off, a brief press on the power button brings it back on in the same state. So I go Googling, including looking at threads on this site, all seemed to advise to try to get the Android recovery menu up. on the Sony this is done by holding the power and vol+ and then releasing the power button (only) when the son logo appears (this process to be started when the tablet is off) so I did this, and no response at all. Worse than that, where it would turn on and instantly hang, it now doesn't turn on at all. Hooking it up to my PC I can see the device in device manager, but it tells me my usb device has malfunctioned.
At the moment, my thoughts are to open it up, to:
1. Check that the power/volume buttons aren't stuck in some way (preventing the boot command being given correctly)
2. Remove and resolder if necessary internal battery to force a power cycle.
3. Bin it and get something new (it is 2.5yrs old so no big loss i suppose)
Any ideas where to look or similar experiences?
Thanks

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
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
D2206. Got into a bootloop (the phone only shows the Sony and Xperia logo but ain't starting the system and just restarting forever doing it again and again). Can't get into Fastboot mode because volume buttons and power button isn't reacting at all. The only solution to force it to show some traces of life is plug him to PC or to a charging device but nothing happens except the charging lightning animation appears. And after connecting to PC, it seems like Flashtool recognize him, but nothing can be done because of the periodic 5-7 second interval disconnects.
Any solutions or tips?
You need to power off before connecting. Here's how.
I don't know if you figured this out or still need the help now, but I'm answering because it's the one thing here that I do know the answer to.
From your description, it sounds like you are trying to connect your phone to PC while the phone is still in boot loop. This will not work. You need to power it off first. Since your power and volume buttons won't respond during boot loop, you will need to use the hardware override that is provided.
Under the back panel of your phone, between the SIM2 and microSD slots, you will see a small punch-hole about 2 mm in diameter and labelled "OFF." Use a pen or precision screwdriver to gently press the off switch located inside this punch-hole for about 1 sec. Phone should switch off.
Wait about 15 sec before connecting to PC in Flash (Vol Up pressed down) or Fastboot (Vol Down pressed down) mode until the LED flashes the respective colour and then you can follow whatever instructions you are following.
Hi guys, i just upgraded my xz prmium to an oppo pro x3 find, my xz power drained, on startup i entered my passcode and it kept saying it was wrong...i managed to reset the phone with the sony companion app on windows and upon setting it up hit goolgle FRP, i only have 1 synced account with my xz, i log in and it simply refuses to accept thats my account, so im trying to remove this and i need to boot into android revocery, i press power on and volume up, the phone vibrates once, then 3 more times, then nothing.
