So I got a Xperia E3 dead here. When I turn it on the LED turns red and it gets stuck at Sony Xperia logo and to turn it off I have to use hard reset button. Then I tried to repair through PC Companion but when it asks to plug the phone holding volume down (flashmode) the only thing that happens is the led turning green, but PC Companion won't recognize it, therefore I can't repair the phone through PC Companion. Then I tried entering fastboot mode holding volume up. It kinda works, the blue led is there, the computer recognizes the phone, and it's there on "fastboot devices". But any command I try like "fastboot erase userdata" or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" doesn't work, it gives an error saying "command not allowed". I gooled it and it seems I need to unlock bootloader to use those commands. So I downloaded Flashtool, but to unlock bootloader I need to enter Flashmode and... flashmode is not working.
I can't boot the phone, I can't enter flashmode and even though fastboot seems to work, the screen is completely black (I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be).
I've been googling this all morning and nothing works, what should I do?

Have you checked that PC does not recognize anything in flash mode? Try to check if Device Management (devmgmt.msc) make a reload when you plug your phone with Vol Down.
If not you can try to unlock the bootloader from the official site, but you can not check if Unlock is allowed so be careful. You can check your IMEI on the back of your phone, on the battery tape.
PC doesn't recognize anything in flashmode.
I tried this from the official site but there's a problem, the IMEI on battery tape is a bit illegible. So I tried a few combinations and got some unlock keys, all of them gave this error in fastboot "FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)"

What you did so you can't turn it on? It couldn't be from nothing.
The phone isn't mine. My friend said the phone was asking to update but he didn't update. Next day he wakes up and the phone is dead. He's not an advanced user so he never messed around with it.

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
My phone is stuck at the boot logo, and won't fully boot. The boot with the volume down button pressed doesn't work, or even the volume up thing, in order to enter fastboot I need to let it boot up to the logo then run the
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
command. when i try the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
command, it boots to the oneplus logo, then reboots normally, and I am back to where I was. I cannot flash a new image, because my bootloader is locked, and in order to unlock it, the phone needs to boot up. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader without a full boot? Can I flash without an unlocked bootloader? Is it bricked? please, any feedback would be appreciated.

So you can't boot into fastboot with the power + volume up button combo after shutting the phone down (hold power)? No you can't unlock bootloader without successfully booting into fastboot. No you can't flash without unlocking the bootloader.

i can only turn the phone on in the normal mode. does this mean it's bricked? do I have to send it in?

I would think it's bricked, it's virtually impossible to brick this device. So it'll turn on when the power button is pressed, but it won't actually boot, right? Nothing at all happens when using the fastboot button combo? A little background info would be good, what lead to this situation?

The button combos do nothing, not even boot the device normally.
So, what happened is this: I was trying to root my phone, I plugged it into a windows 8.1 machine, and I was following a tutorial by C4Etech. It was working fine, until I unlocked the bootloader, after the it was unlocked, my machine could no longer recognize my device. I uninstalled and reinstalled countless drivers multiple times in an attempt make my machine recognize my device, rebooted my phone, my computer., the adb server, and anyhting else I could. Nothing worked. Angry and frustrated, I plugged it into my Linux Mint machine, and it recognized perfectly! because I am a noob, and have never done anything like this before, I began to panic when I saw that my phone wouldn't reboot like they did in the tutorials right after they unlocked the bootloader, so I skipped that part, and continued with the flashing. after flashing, my phone would no longer boot, so I thought I messed up with the unlocking portion because my phone wouldn't reboot after the "fastboot oem unlock" ( because I am a noob, I thought that the unlock was temporary, and that my many reboots of the phone managed to undo it.). thinking the unlock was the culprit to my broken phone, and thought adb must be glitched since it doesn't reboot after "fastboot oem unlock" like it did in the tutorials, like a genius, i typed in "fastboot oem lock" rebooted into fastmode, then typed in "fastboot oem unlock". I was filled with joy when I saw my phone reboot like it did in the tutorials, but my joy began to fade, as the phone was still booting after several minutes. And thats when I died inside, and began posting on many online forums, because google couldn't find anything that matched my situation.
the button combos stopped working after the flash.

Have you seen this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
Might be worth a try.
I was with my z3 in twrp and clicked on " Restart Bootloader". After that my screen went black and i cant use it anymore. I tried all methods of getting my Z3 restarted to boot again. Even if I plug my device to a charger my LED isnt lighting up. The only thing that i found out is: If I press long time at VOL- while pluged in USB cable on PC it dected a "Unknown Device". If i check the the Hardware ID of the device in that "mode" it says "device descriptor failure".
My restart methods:
- Pressed Power + VOL-
- Pressed the OFF button in Simtray
- Charged it a while to check if its "Sudden Death"
Can someone give me help ? Any solutions for that ?
If you haven't already, try to install the fastboot drivers for your device (just search for fastboot z3) and se if the PC detects it if you plug it in whilst holding vol+/vol-.
If so you can probably either try to restart it with a fastboot command (needs adb installed on your pc) or reflash stock (data gets wiped I think) with Flashtool.
Are you on unmodified stock or rooted?
try the rubber band method put four or maybe five rubberbands on the power button and the vol up button tightly for about 5-7 min after that remove the ruberband and then power on the device .This method worked for me when I wiped my system and rebooted I also had the same issue as you did .
I use this forums a lot for info but in this case i can't find any leads of whee to go with this, so wondering if someone can chip in some ideas?
I flashed a ROM via flashtool but wasn't happy with it, so i thought i'd just go back to stock and so used flash tool AKA emma to flash one of the options given there.
First attempt to flash it said "flash failed" or something like that and had the "flashing failed, connect to computer" note in the phone when booting it. (I'm sort of making up the terms, not that much into the tech ). Anyway, i tried flashing the same FW again and this time it went through really quick being 'completed' in a few seconds.
Now when i try to boot it gets stuck in the 'Sony' logo. Can go into Fastboot but no Flash Mode (nothing happens using the vol down key), and USB debugging seems to be off now as well.
Emma only works in Flashmode so can't do anything with that. Flashtool doesn't offer anything useful in Fastboot and Xperia Companion recognises the phone when in Fastboot but asks that i unlock the screen and enter MTP...
Any help of where i can go with this?
Thanks
P.s. While keeping buttons pressed randomly it went once into flash mode, but trying to flash a ROM with flashtool it got stuck at "reding device data" and i haven't been able to enter the mode again. Is there an alternative key press combination that i stumbled on by chance? I think i just kept vol up and power held for a while and let go at a random number of phone vibrations
Just tried: Flashed twrp via fastboot and then rebooted into recovery. Same thing. It still opens to Sony splash screen and stays there
Ok, i'm kind of talking to myself here, but mild success and something that might help someone.
Managed to get back in flash mode. Don't know if it's a fluke, unique to this phone, or how it's actually meant to work, but the sequence is:
From the freezed up splash screen, and the USB connected, press and keep pressed power+vol up (hard restart/shutdown)
You get a single vibration, if you let go here it restarts. Keep pressing
You get a triple vibration, if you let go here it shuts down. Keep pressing
You get a single vibration, if you let go here it starts in fastboot. Keep pressing
You get a second single vibration, if you let go here it starts in flash mode.
Possibly a fluke but don't want to have to try again!
Anyway, i managed to flash the last working firmware and it's all good, yet this is the unwanted one. So issue is i still need to downgrade the phone to 7.1.1
Please help me! My pnone is stucked in the warning message "your phone's bootloader has unlocked andd can'be trusted" and try to boot but notworking at all. the logo appears for a second and phone try to boot again and again. I tryed all button combinations but noyhing work. tryed to connect to pc but not recognized at all, adb not detect the device, just the warning page is visible on phone and nothing else.
Re-flash phone's Stock ROM.
I can't connect to pc, I can't reboot the phone, can't enter in erecovery or fastboot or adb, only that message page can see and can not do anything. I thin i'm need some program to recognize my phone. no idea.
