Sony Xperia Z3 stuck on bootloop, one day just randomly turned off and got stuck in a bootloop after I tried turning it on. Can't get into safe mode, tried fixing it with PCC software repair, no success. Also tried to flash a stock rom using FlashTool but it didn't work I'm guessing due to the Unknown Sources and Debugging not being checked in my phones settings. What else can I try?
First download the official stock firmware for your phone and keep.
While your phone is turned off. Keep volume down pressed and connect via USB while Flashtool is open on PC. Blue led will look light up.
You should now see that the phone is connected in flashmode. It will be displayed in flashtool.
Once it gets detected select the firmware you downloaded and flash it.
If you don't want to lose your data then before flashing unselect Wipe Data.

I tried than man, it didn't work
It should be able to go into flash mode anyhow. If it doesn't then it means it's a hardware issue.

I just downloaded and installed it and now my phone just resets back and again, i can't seem to turn it on. Tried installing the patch a few times, tried wiping catche, still the same bug, i reboot, the phone loads, suddenly there s a vib, screen goes black, then to android opo logo and to android logo, then it does the same thing again, constantly. I have no other patch to install (recently wiped them all because of lack of space, such thing has never happened to me before, but i should have left at least one =(( and i can't copy it to disc from my computer because i have no access while it's off on in recovery. I'm in deep **** now, that was like the worst moment ever for my phone to break down. Please HELP.
Did you took backup of yout last ROM ? .. If yes then flash it in recovery. If NO then use USBOTG .. Download 12.1 rom and copy it to pendrive from computer and connect to Phone and flash rom by selecting USB-OTG

cant i try flashing 6.0 gaps via fastboot mode? if yes what is the command
Can you boot into recovery mode if you press the power and vol down button at the same time? If you can you'll be able to see your phone through your computer.
Urgent help reqd
randomly my nexus 5 restarted
google came on screen and now only those four animated circles are showing up and the phone doesnt go further
went in bootloader but cant wipe cache, cant format, or anything else from there.
usb debuggng must be off as far as i remember
trying to flash through sdk manager. have downloaded image. but stops at "waiting for device" in cmd and it doesnt go any further than that. even tried doing it manually through cmd.
when the phone is connected it is showing the drivers but it isnt installng and can see the yellow exclamation.
manually downloaded the drivers and tried installing manually but shows drivers are up to date.
uninstalled driver and reinstalled but same issue. it is connected to usb 2.0.
now how do i get it to work?
I have tried all the options i could search for on this forum but none of them solved my issue.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
How do i check that?
Ok got it
It is locked
How do i unlock?
I checked some unlocking bootloader threads but they all require usb debugging to be on.
My phone is not starting at all so i cannot do that
How do i go about it now
Tried nexus root toolkit. It isnt detecting the device.
Unlocking will wipe you device.
Google themselves have a guide on how to flash, not sure why you are using toolkits.
Also, you will wipe your device, if you haven't already. Make sure you have the right drivers, make sure you get the device to come up under "fastboot devices"
Already tried all methods mentioned by google or xda.
If you read my initial post my phone is not getting detected as well but shows installing drivers when connected but the installation fails.
Manually install the correct drivers.
Tried that but i get the error that you already have latest drivers. But its not detecting the phone
Try removing the drivers and reinstalling
Also, try different USB ports and cables.
Did all of that a number of times. Still no luck
Other phones are getting connected and detected just fine.

Hi all, i have a similar problem
this morning my n5 boots into "optimizing apps", but stops when reach around 15/20 apps and reboot (3 or 4 times)...
Now, only keeps in android animation like useruser12.
I can see my data in TWRP, battery 95%...
I wipe cache/dalvik... nothing
I reflash the kernel (ElementalX 6.17), still nothing
Any ideas?
PS: latest news. After make a backup, I made a factory reset and restore a system-boot-cache partition from old backup. Now the phone boots but i hate lose all my data xD. I want try to solve my problem using my "corrupted" backup for avoid losing data. If that fails, I can always restore this functional backup. Any ideas again?
Used the nexus root toolkit.managed to unlock bootloader but immediately the device reboots and goes into the bootloop again.
Tried the flash stock + unroot function as well which detected my factory image and everything went smooth till it came back to unlocking the bootloader and rebooting the device after that and again went into the bootloop
Though i have installed the drivers, on reboot windows 7 automatically starts installing the mtp usb device driver but fails. Manually downloaded the drivers and installed as well.
Still its not worked and whatever i do it comes back and get stuck at the bootloop.
Any expert can give a solution? Thanks
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock when the phone is rebooted? If it does, the memory chip is defective.
Phone doesnt reboot completely.goes into a loop after the google logo and doesnt go further.
If i switch off the phone midway here without it booting up and then restart the bootloader then its locked again.
But what i read was that the process of complete reboot needs to finish and i need to turn on usb debugging. So is it because of that the bootloader locks again?
Anyways, this what im facing

Lucky that you could do a factory reset. I wasnt even able to do that from the bootloader.

Sorry, i did it via TWRP.
If the bootloader relocks itself upon reboot, it's the memory chip that is damaged.
Let me start off by saying that i don't want to root the phone, rooting the phone was never my intention, but it had to be done in order to recover some lost messages i urgently needed.
Okay so I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Dual, it was working fine until I had to restore some messages I accidently deleted on Whatsapp, using a program called "Dr.fone", it said i had to root my phone first in order to do it, and when the process is done, it is going to unroot it, So I gave it permission, it restarted my device during the process more than 20 times, and then it said "Failed to root the device", since then my WiFi got ****ed up and keeps closing by itself, my rear camera video mode doesn't work, any camera program such as Retrica works but is lagging terribly to the point where it's not even usable, and my mobile keeps freezing then restarting by itself as the red LED light flashes a few times, I've tried doing a factory reset, flashing a firmware using Emma (but lets be honest i had no idea what i'm doing), doing a repair using Sony Companion, but nothing has worked, so, how do I get rid of any damage that this ****ing program has done to my mobile?
Please keep in mind that once my WiFi turns itself off, there's no way i can turn it on again, unless i restart my mobile which works sometimes, other times it just remains off.
Flash it using flashtool, I will send you latest flashtool and rom, but tommorow not now.

Is your device Sony Xperia Z5 E6633?
If so, I happen to have uploaded the latest firmware for this device for someone else who bricked his phone.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-5Lr_Sntl5ekxMcmFHMFVSdjg
You can flash it using flashtool. You can google it.
Only flash this file if your device is Xperia Z5 E6633 though!
Yes, it's E6633.
Thanks alot for your help, by flashing the firmware you've given me, i've fixed the reboot and the camera problem, But the WiFi problem is still there, any idea what's causing it?
Again, Thanks alot <3.

I am using stock firmware. Didn't unlock my phone or root it. Sometimes I also have this problem. And some others too. It might be a software issue.
I've had a problem with my phone since flashing Lineage and Gapps in TWRP, something went wrong, it's acting like I have a corrupted version of Lineage with only the basic functions, Gapps is not installed and I've lost root.
The phone is an Xperia Z5, prior to flashing Lineage zip I had successfully rooted the phone, i flashed Lineage and then Gapps, an error appeared saying Gapps had not installed (possibly because it was the wrong version). After that the phone went into a bootloop (Sony logo, battery icon, then restart with red light in the corner). I was able to turn the phone on by holding down the power button for 5 seconds and lineage started up as normal with just the basic apps, I have been using the phone for the last month like this unable to find an answer on the forum. If I was able to connect the phone to PC i could use flashtool to flash the stock rom and start from scratch, but it only charges even though i have usb set to MTP in developer options, it's not detected by PC no matter how many cables I try. Also, it will not install apps from the Play website, it downloads and says app is installed but app isn't shown in list of apps. Can't get into TWRP because it says device is not rooted. When I switch phone off it restarts again and goes into bootloop, have to hold down power button to start it up. I wondered if anyone was familiar with these strange symptoms and knew if there was any way out? My phones stuck in limbo until I can find a way of doing a hard reset but without being able to get into TWRP or connect phone to PC I'm stuck.
I'm having problems after upgrading my device to Oreo using Flashtool. Every time the phone boots it shows a message "Factory Startup Service. Please wait for power off button." It always shows so I can't use the phone. Is there any way to fix that? It is pretty annoying.
Thanks
Try fix firmware via sony pc companion or flash firmware via flashtool
Startup flag service
Nacho, have you fixed it? I'm having the same problem. Other than force stopping from settings/apps, I can't stop it permanently.
same problem.... i back to marshmellow...... i never can fix that in oreo!
