[help] Z3 Completely dead (no vibration / no led / no charging / no flash mode) - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
I recently wanted to use a custom rom..
So I Flashed the stock firmware the .291 build. after that I wanted to flash twrp recovery.
So I downgraded the kernel to ,575 then flashed the recovery file, and from the recovery I flashed the Existenz rom (.291 based).
Then I rebooted the device,, Unfortunately I got a boot loop on SONY logo.
So I reflashed the stock firmware (.291) throw flashtool. but flash didn't complete,,, and I got boot loop again.
after that I DON'T KNOW why I flashed the .575 kernel.. Flash completed,, phone turned off
then it's COMPLETELY DEAD.. no signs of life
I tried every power- volume combinations, but I got no vibrations nor leds. and the charging sign doesn't appear when connecting the device to a power supply.
I only hear the connection sound when I connect the device to the computer and press volume down + power button for 10 secs, but it shows nothing on computer!
Any help would be appreciated

Your best bet if it shows no sign of life is to charge for a few hours to make sure it has enough battery.
Hopefully the red light comes on at some point. Either way try leaving it plugged in for a few hours.
Then you can try flashing again.
Ensure all the drivers are properly installed for flashtool.
Ensure you have the correct ftf for your device!
Start flash mode for a full .291 ftf and plug the phone in while holding down the volume down button as normal.
Try this repeatedly until you get a connection.
Alternatively you can wrap a very tight rubber band around the volume down key and connect it while flashtool is in flashmode.
If you're lucky a connection will be made and flashtool will have time to flash the firmware.
Persistence is key here. Many times a brick can be saved but it can take a long time.
Good luck and I hope it works

keep it on charge overnight.flash again when led turns on

when you connect your phone in flashmode green light should stay on (press & hold vol down then plug usb in)
it should show
"device connected in flashmode"
IF you want fastboot mode
when you connect your phone in fastboot mode blue light should stay on (press & hold vol up then plug usb in)
NOTE-it should actually do bootloops....not sure why red light

Sometimes flash tool, while flashing tells me to turn on usb debugging (although its already on). So what do I do? Wait. After ten minutes(approx), device disconnects automatically and then flashtool requests me to connect in flash mode. So I disconect my usb cable and connect it again in flash mode and voila! flash begins. Worked for me, hope it works for u too..

yes thats a common mistake
on flashmode connect phone in flashmode only when asked (or like you said ...you will have to do twice)
on fastboot mode your phone has to be connected in fastboot before selecting the fastboot mode
I'm having very similar trouble, i flashed FXP CM10 a little while ago until the phone stopped receiving a signal (which has happened a few times using CM10), unfortunately the battery died before i got home to flash it again. 3 days and 7 hours later and the battery still hasn't charged, i've managed to boot into android very quickly while it's connected to a wall charger but i get nothing at all if i try and connect in flashmode or fastboot.
Is the battery dead? Is there something i'm probably missing? I figured this might go to someway with hoping the OP.
[Edit: Good news! I've plugged into USB and i can get to the battery bar with the power symbol, maybe i can get to flashmode after all!]
[Edit 2:] Noticing the phone had just enough power to get to the battery/power symbol screen, held down the volume button for about a minute till it went through that cycle and managed to get it into flashmode, installed stock and plugged it into the wall. 5 mins later i hit the power button and it's working again! Hooray!

use jim34 cm10 with hsr0 kernel....FXP IS CRAP for daily use
don't connect your phone to the pc until flashtool asks you to. I get that thing sometimes when I reflash a rom or kernel

Sony Xperia Z3 HARD BRICKED

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

Problems with my d6633 Z3 Dual

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.
@xdathekilljoy
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?

Sony Z3 D6633 is dead , wiped system accidentally ,Led not Blinking, screen blackout

Hello There
I was trying to hard reset my Sony Z3 D6633 and I firstly wiped the Rom then after that I tried to install Stock Rom using "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" , unfortunately the power went of while it was flashing and now the phone doesn't even boot or show any thing on the screen , and the led doesn't even blink , I tried the following :
-pressing the volume down then connecting it to the flasher (No Response)
-pressing the yellow reset button in sim tray 10 times then connecting the charger (No Response)
-holding volume up and power together (No response)
I'm currently putting it in charger but it doesn't give any response , I think I deleted an important part in the system , is there's any software that could help me ,if someone could guide me I would be very grateful for him/her
Usually a normal flash with a flash tool shouldn't brick your device in a way that it can't enter stock recovery or download/flash mode.
Did you check the device manager when connecting with volume up/down?
You can try EMMA by Sony to flash full stock, but you need to follow a tutorial to set it up (there's a specific file you need to put in the install directory of the program to skip the devs login).
When connecting the charger does the red LED light up?
Resolved
Sorry for the long absence, after three days of posting this i was about to give up until I plugged my phone into the charger and the led turned on which was a good sign that now I know that the device is still working, after charging it for a couple of hours I connected it to the PC and used "Sony PC Companion" and followed it's steps, and the device was restored to it's original firmware.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Xperia Z3 Hard bricked?

I messed up an instruction on my Xperia Z3 (D6603) and ended up flashing the wrong boot.img file. I ended up getting it to flash again by using the stock Android 6.0 rom in one of the threads, but my phone wouldn't boot to system. Eventually, one of the FTF files I flashed on the phone ended up bricking it. I've tried unplugging and replugging the battery to flush out everything. I've tried the rubberband method, I've tried holding Vol-Up for fastboot and Vol-Down for flash mode and nothing happens. My phone just flashes a red LED briefly every second. Nothing is detected even when I'm pressing everything, the LED changes from flashing red to a solid red LED if I press and hold the power button but other than that, it's just in this bricked state. I'm probably screwed with what happened, otherwise is there a way to unbrick it or at the very least bring flashmode/fastboot back to reflash stock firmware again?
