Xperia Z5 not booting up/red blinking light after update = Bricked? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi gang,
My Xperia Z5 (E6603) would not boot up after the latest update. I'm guessing it must've died during the update.
I tried:
Reset (Pwr + Vol+/-) and OFF button in sim card tray. All reset attempt was done several times with and without the simcard tray.
I noticed the phone did not vibrate when I tried Pwr + vol+ or with the OFF button by itself. It only vibrate when the OFF and Pwr button were held down simultaneously.
To rule out it was battery, I let it charged for almost 2 days now without any success. I still get the slow blinking red light and no solid red or orange or green light indicating the device is fully charged. I also check the integrity of the battery at the stored and it is at 4.0 V, so I believe the battery is not the problem.
Unplugging battery method: Tried unplugging the battery and connect to the computer then plugged it back in with no luck.
Flashtool was not recognized after holding Vol- and connect to the computer.
I also tried different charger and usb
i read from many forum that the battery needs to die in order to reset the kernel. Should I just let the battery discharged? Or are there others ways that are more efficient?
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

maybe bootloader corrupt. bootloader in emmc. try bring your phone to phone services, JTAG flash may help.

What software can I use to fix the bootloader? I have an unlocked phone so my service provider will not take care of it.
Thank you!

Go to phone repair outlets in your city, not in Sony Service Center. usually they can fix hardware problem. I dont know what software are used. I only know with Jtag can repair bootloader via test point.

Does the bootloader need to be unlocked on the phone previously for the JTAG method to work?

not sure. locked or unlocked should work, because the files inject directly to emmc
by the way, have you try to change another battery?

ave you tried to boot the phone into download mode?
Have you tried the actual Sony Tool and the Recovery-Process?
With that i unbricked my Z5 from that symptons i think 2 or 3 times already after the flash went somehow wrong because it stopped midway.

The phone won't boot into download mode. It's not recognized by PC companion so I can't carry out the recovery process.

Another thing - on my Laptop i can't access fastboot mode because it restarts everytime (showing the blue led and then it reboots), therefore i have to attach the Z5 to the Dockingstation.
But it seems like it is completeley dead right?
just to be sure - press and hold vol up and then connect your usb-cable. If the LED stays blue - gg
Then you just have to install the fastboot driver in Test-Mode (reboot to f8 and deactivate the Enforced Driver Signature) and then you may be able to atleast flash or better first boot the phone with a new kernel. If the boot works and then crashes you have your first step to unbrick the phone.
fastboot boot "kernel-image"
Altough i don't have any idea which Kernel you should choose

I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.
I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.
this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN
thanks
thank, i like this forum
worth to try... (hope it won't happen to me :laugh: )
I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!! And to all those of you who are DESPERATE to fix their phone (I hope you read this thread), DON'T PANIC, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It took me 2 days of searching the web, and FINALLY I MADE IT!!! There are ALWAYS solutions to these kinds of problems!!!!

Z5 weird behavior : not charging, rebooting on its own and no way to turn it off

I've got a z5 dual e6683 not working properly for 6 months.
Some day, it just started not charging when the phone was on. I waited till battery died, then plugged it in wall charger and it got up to 100%. I managed to start the phone and then it was ok. I charged it a couple of time in 2 days, and then suddenly doesn't recognizes charge anymore... I also can't turn it off; when i turn off, it stops and restarts immediatly in bootloop. I managed to force it to stop by pressing power and both + and - volume but even then its not totally off, it still displays battery level...... Any ideas ?
Thanks
Wait for battery do die completely, then hold volume down and plug usb cable if it turns green then flashmode works and you can flash new firmware, maybe it will fix the issue

Thanks to anyone can give me just an indication:confuso:
This situation was created after an upgrade I believe with firmware no good

Thanks for the interest you are very kind
I've been trying to load it all night but nothing has changed.
From the calculations I did during the last flash within the update.app, these images were deleted: sha256rsa, crc, curver, verilist, efi, fastboot to try a recovery.
After this happened ..........................
I was programming with dc-unlocker
Thanks again for your help.

The biggest problem that the usb is not detected and can not attach it to the pc
I've already tried with usb 2.0 always dead
I've tried in power on all keystrokes and I've never heard sound recognition windows usb
On no , no fastboot we cannot do anything .just take it to care and they will fix it .
And dload option with the correct firmware in the sd card not work starting with 3 buttons method?
I'll make it pretty easier for you if it's your luck that shines your phone will revive
First do this
Plug in your us type c port of your charger on the phone while holding volume up button for like five seconds. Then leave it to charge for 5-10 minutes and the press power button simply . If it revives , good! If not, let's continue
Now if this didn't work and your have one very simple option of press the volume low key and power button while plugging in your usb type c , which is connected to a PC.
This will open your fastboot and rescue more - open hisuit on pc , hit recovery and it should do the magic
If this also doesn't work , try unlocking bootloader via the same process and flash a recovery and receive your phone.
If nothing of this works , welcome to the league of dead honor 8.

I'm sorry about your situation. I googled a bit to try to find a solution and what I found was this:

It seems like three persons in this thread had the same problem and two of them had tried returning the phone to a service center and got it repaired for free.
Maybe it is a fried motherboard and if that is the case they will never know that you tried flashing anything on the ROM.
All the best!

This is the correct firmware.
What do you want to do in EDL mode?

It's not booting, he doesn't want to get into edl. It's showing no reaction. But he could try pressing power button for 1min and look for vibration
To try to restore the phone yourself, you must use commands in fastboot or adb.

the power button for a minute didnt do anything either sadly. Im trying to get into edl so i can try and recover it with QPST, but even after opening the phone up and trying to get into edl through hardware, i was only able to get the red charging light to start showing whilst charging. Should I try to disconnect and reconnect the battery maybe?

Yep, can't hurt at this point.
You can try this:
Recharge the battery for at least 1 hour (even if you think it is already charged)
after connect it by usb and press the power button first,power button with volume -, button with volume +, and try to see if it appears on the pc and in what way.

Dead boot

Hello, please help. I have a big problem.
I just flashed custom ROM and the installation was successful. When I restarted the phone, it stopped at the "Samsung Galaxy" logo and did not complete and then restarted automatically in this case. I tried to enter twrp, but to no avail. I also tried Entering the download mode, but also it does not work
I hope that someone will help me, and is this how the phone was damaged, or is there hope to recover it?
Try holding power and volume down for over 20 seconds, after the phone reboot keep holding those keys and hope you get into download mode

Does Odin recognise the phone?

Unfortunately not, I even tried to enter it into download mode by pressing the volume up and down buttons and then connecting the USB, and it did not work, so I think it may need a board

Can you disassemble the phone and remove the battery and reconnect it again and try to put it into download mode?

Honestly, no, I haven't tried jaw before But I waited until the battery ran out and tried again to insert the download, but it didn't work either,,, I have a question I first formatted and then installed the ROM, then it succeeded, but after the word “installation was successful” there were words in red “failed mount system root” Then I flashed the rest of the ROM files, then I thought it was over, so I restarted, but it stopped at the "samsung galay - secured by Knox" logo. It does not continue and then restarts itself in this case and does not stop until the battery runs out and stops then I tried to enter the recovery but to no avail and also the same thing with the download mode,, summarizing all this does the phone need a motherboard, or that the matter can be solved?

It can be solved. It doesn't need a motherboard.
Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
