Xperia z3 lollipop firmware not installing - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys recently my Xperia z3 updated to 5. 1. 1 lollipop and rebooted it said install applications for firmware then stopped at like 87/144 and eventually the battery drained out and the phone won't charge at all sent it to Sony and they said they can't fix it any one has any idea how I can do it my self
Appreciate any help possible fixing this phone paid alot of money and I'm disappointed Sony won't fix it

Try if you can get it into flashmode.
Hold the vol down and connect it to your PC while holding it.
It should start into flash mode (blue LED if I remember correctly) and in the PC's device manager a new device should pop up.
If it works you can easily reflash a official ftf with Flash Tool.

[Solved] Hard bricked my Xperia J...

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've tried to update my Xperia J to the new Jelly Bean firmware, but before that, I've done a full wipe and format system and cache through CWM. After that, I reboot my phone and it never goes after the Sony logo. I've tried to repair it with PC Companion, SUS and Flashtool, but everytime it starts to flash new Rom, the green led goes off and nothing is done.
Is there any solution for this, or should I go to the store and pray that it isn't to expensive to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Its not hard bricked.Its really normal for green light to go off while flashing ftf.Just wait for the flashtool to complete preparing files and then connect your phone in flash mode(green led) after the prompt appears.It will instantly start the flashing process (and yes, the green led goes off as soon as flashing starts so dont worry).
You may also experience a strange problem where the flashtool gets stuck at 0 percent. You can fix that by trying some older version of flashtool.
Good luck

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm really getting stucked at 0 percent at Flashtool. I canĀ“t even repair it with PC Companion, that's why I was afraid that is was an hard brick. I'm going to try with an older version of Flashtool as you've said.
Thanks again.
EDIT: I've tried with an older version of Flashtool and still no luck, always getting stucked at 0 percent. I read somewhere that my problem must be that my phone at this moment don't have any operating system and that probably I couldn't fix it at home. Is this true or is there something more I can do?
Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Well i used to get this problem with my flashtool.Installing an older version did the trick for me.You can try flashing from some other system

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
If you got unlocked bootloader then you can fastboot flash fxp kernel followed by the rom itself.This will atleast make your device functional again.

Unfortunately my bootloader is locked.
I will try again, but this time on my computer here at work.
EDIT: Still no luck in another computer. I guess I will need to go to Vodafone Store at the end of the day and see what they can do with my phone.
Good news!!
I've installed PC Companion here on my work computer and it repaired my phone. Probably there's some kind of problem with my computer at home. I'm already flashing Jelly Bean normally with flashtool.
Thanks a lot for your help balboarocky.

Really hard Brick sony xperia J
under clockwork mod (after using int for installing cyanogen) i want to erase some data because my Cyanogen install was bugged (i forgot to Md5 checksum, so the files was maybe corrupted),
but i was very tired.and it's more than possible than i erase boot or systeme,
since that NO Led, No fastboot or Flashmode connections,
Do you think my Xperia is dead from dead (tm) .
Edit : to make the phone react and avoid bootloop i have to remove the battery and use it like the "power button" to take my phone in Flashboot, reflash Cwm and my phone work again ....

Sony Xperia c2305 totally dead

Hi, I have Sony Xperia C2305 doesn't work after unsoccessful encryption and then the phone stuck in Sony logo, I tried every solutions to fix it but nothing happens and now the phone didn't work. When I connect the phone to pc after install the drivers or even connecting to charge the phone, the red light appears without any blinking especially when I press power button and down vol button nothing happens and the screen doesn't shows anything. What can I do?
Sorry for the language.
Hello friend it's most probably a hard brick. You can use xperia flash tool to flash stock rom of your device and your device will get unbricked. It's very easy to install stock rom of xperia c2305 and flash tool because bothare easily available on the internet. So best of luck

Xperia phone disconnecting from flash mode

Hello there. I want to repair software on my Xperia Z5 E6653 with Xperia Companion. But when it asks me to hold down key and connect the phone, nothing happens, and maybe after half of minute it disconnets from flash mode and boots normally. I bought a motherboard and I think it came with some custom firmware sh.... Just want to have official system. Also main back camera isn't working. Can someone help with that? I never encountered something like disconnecting from flash with my Z3, so I suppose some flash tool will be useless too. Can be used the opportunity of "normally working" system?
