Device: Xperia U
Causes:Flashed a kernel that's not meant to be flashed via recovery (flashed a jellybean kernel that's supposedly handled by fastboot but rom is CM-ICS based) <- I know how stupid of me )
Issue: Does not boot, nor go into fastboot mode or flash mode <- no way of indicating since illumination strip does not light up
Other Info:
Has a cm-based rom
ILLUMINATION STRIP does not either light up green or blue whenever I go into flashmode or fastboot
Has the red led of death when I plug it in on a wall charger or pc (whenever I press and hold the power button red led blinks, not the illumination strip)
unlocked bootloader
Does not show charging animation when power button pressed, does not vibrate either, since it is a custom rom boot logo does not show up.
when using flashtool device not detected, using windows 8 installed drivers successfully by turning off the device driver signer(?)
after i flashed the wrong kernel i can still access flash mode, fastboot mode successfully but i overslept and just red led of death.
after 15-20mins of charging either via pc or wall charger the red led just diminshes.
Any insights you people could offer? what steps did I miss i read the thread about the stock rom. however i do not know what will i do to recover a phone with a custom rom(cm-ics) along with inapporpriate kernel.
If does not even show charging animation or even boot logo, when i tried the hard reset method (power+up.vol+down.vol then hold) it does not work. I attempted flashing the the firmware(ftf file for XPU) to no no avail it doesn't really go to flashboot or fastboot. No light by the illumination strip. Charged and Drained the battery several times.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
A friend gave me his Xperia St26a (Xperia J I believe) to fix it because its stuck in a screen with a warning logo, a blue arrow and a phone laying down but I can't boot the phone or get to bootloader or recovery using hardware keys, PC doesn't recognize the phone and it looks completely dead to me but i'd like to know if theres anything else I can do to fix this phone, I tried volume down+power and volume up+ power so many times and it doesn't do anything, it doesn't even show if its charging when i have it plugged on my PC.
My friend said either his WiFi went down or phone shutted down while updating and then all this started happening, is there anything I can do?
Thanks in advance
So my Z3 died yesterday trying to restor a nandroid backup. It wont go into flash mode, charge or turn on at all. When holding in the power button the red light shows and when charging it's blinking.

My phone did the same thing....I flashed something I wasn't supposed to and ended up soft brickng...
Ran through these steps and I'm all good now....you sure u can't go into flashboot.? To enter flashboot...
Hold the down key on the volume rocker
Attach USB that's already connected to the computer
Notification should turn dark blue
It indicates it is in flashboot...screen will not be on
Sent from my D6616 using XDA Free mobile app
Now I have exactly the same problem. Where you able to resolve it? There's also someone else with this problem:

I've had this problem when the file system becomes corrupted and can't get into recovery or anything. The method mentioned two posts above works. Hold the volume rocker pressed before plugging in the USB cord to the device. That causes it to boot into flashmode. With flashtool you can have it prep all the files for install even if the phone restarts during that process. When it comes back up it will start the install. That's what has worked for me. Good luck.
Hallo people,
I have a very big problem with my d6633. I installed tonight TWRP - so fas, so good. After installing TWRP asked me to root the device, I said YES. My bootloader was unlocked. Then I couldn't exit TWRP. After every reboot the device started into TWRP. Now I can not start the device. I tried with Power+ Volume+, reset button - nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

How much % did it have before you started the procedure?
Did you try holding down vol+ and then plugging it into USB?
Hello Jkay7,
Thanks for your support. My solution was to leave the device switched off over the night. Connected via original cable. Today in the morning my dyouzhengwen evice was detected via flash tool and as youzhengwen suggested I could flash the original ftf file.

Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633
I have tried just about every method seen. My problem with the flashtool or PC companion is that the phone is recognized by the computer but I can only start to turn the device on which I don't believe it actually boots. Broken display and new display does not power on.
Or it connects in fastboot by holding volume up when connecting. This shows a blue led.
But trying to connect in flash mode by holding power down just makes the led flash red then green continuously.
And for the pc companion it always says the connection was unsuccessful once the led turns green on the device.
I got the phone for only $40 in this condition. So I cannot say what entirely was wrong or what it's last working state was.
I bought a new screen and power flex cable. As well as a back plate and tempered glass protectors. I was going to wait until everything works perfect speakers and all before I sealed it tight with water proof adhesive stickers.
Even before I bought the new power flex the computer recognized it and the battery health and charge %. The battery was able to charge. But I couldn't turn the device on.
The computer confirmed that it had been at 29% after some time charging and then 100% after leaving it on charge.
Now with the new screen and power cable the phone still does nothing if not plugged it. The light was red at first, but then yellow, then after some time green when the battery fully charged. This was again even before the new parts.
I have to plug it in to try anything.
It goes red then starts to turn on and turns green.
But I hear no sound, get no vibrations, the computer only sees it as the phone and shows absolutely nothing on the removable disk. Just blank when I click on the drive volume. But it is seen as an Xperia D6633 phone or fastboot Android device.
I've tried the reset button, holding power and volume up, volume down, all three. Tried my factory cable. Different cables, different ports, uninstalling it from service manager and letting the flash tool recognize and install it.
I also tried the new display on the old power flex and the old display on the new power flex.
Nothing changed, no vibrations, no sounds, system never actually fully starts as far as I can tell, and cannot connect in flash mode only fast boot. And the flashable file is only seen in flash mode. Fastboot can only see the folder but it is ready to flash files as far as I can tell.

That's a lot of money you're putting into an (apparently) broken phone Brave!
Okay so what happens if you hold Vol+ while it's shut down and then connect it to USB, the LED turns blue, right?
So why does flashing it from there on not work?

Well it didn't seem that broken at first and both it and the display were only about 37 piece. Power flex was almost 10. Seemed like a rightful price.
Yes the led turns blue and it is in fastboot mode. The flash file seems to only be readable for flashing in flash mode "volume down". I can see the folder of the flash file in fastboot mode " volume up ", but not in a flashable format.
And when connecting " volume down " it fails a connection while the led just flashes green to red to green to red continually
Two updates
1. I thought I should mention that when I do plug the phone in to a charger or computer the top does get a bit warm or hot as well as the led turns on. Different color depending.
2. With much fiddling and trying if holding the volume down button for different lengths of time while connecting up a computer I finally got it to connect in flash mode and flashed a file...... No change.
At this point maybe I should try a new battery for the hell of it even though this one seems to be working.
Or there is a minute hardware damage somewhere. Maybe the power ic? Or s capacitor?
Hello,
I am currently using Xperia Z3 D6603 running on MM 6.0.1 .
I tried to install twrp recovery through adb and it showed that the result was ok.
But as soon as I turn on the phone there is no vibration or LED light up, it goes straight to Sony logo and then boots up.
I tried holding the volume down button while pressing the power button.
The result is a black screen. The black screen comes and goes away then come backs again.
USB Debugging was on while flashing recovery.
What can or should I do now????
