Hi guys. So I have been going through xda and Google for hours and hours trying solutions, to no avail. I almost never post on forums for help because I can usually find the solution. Not this time. This is my last resort next to throwing my phone out a window or praying for death's sweet release.
The facts: I have a rooted Xperia Z3v. I tried to upgrade TWRP in order to follow some directions on upgrading to Nougat. I flashed TWRP from 2.8.X.X to 3.X.X.X. I rebooted and it never made it to the Sony logo. Now, if I plug the phone in to either a wall socket or PC it vibrates, endlessly at three second intervals, each time with red LED. If I try to enter flash mode, then its the same but with a brief green led after the red. I can enter fastboot (the only way to stop it vibrating while plugged in) and my PC sees it, including Flashtool, but since my bootloader is locked permanently, I can't really do much with it.
When plugged into the wall-charger, I noticed that the charger's LED changes from "Active" to "Inactive" with every vibration. I'm pretty sure I'm in a reboot loop. The screen is totally dead and there's no logo, but every three seconds it kills it self and comes back.
I have tried everything I could think of.
What I have:
I have the stock firmware ready to go
I have TWRP backups on SD card and PC
I have Flashtool
I think my drivers are good, but not 100% sure
I can fastboot
I'm at my wit's end and losing hope.
Please, I'm open to any suggestions at all.
There is a chance to save your phone 50% this trick might work for your phone sort of .
First i need some answers
1.If you go to flash mode the phone vibrates right is it detectable by your pc at that time.
2.did you Try hard reset not by the vol button press but the very sophisticated button under the sim tray.
3.https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/nougat-7-1-1-android-source-project-t3532346
try this I know this is not for your phone but you will be able to actually boot your phone or atleast take a rest for what the heck is going on with your phone
4.If none of the solutions work disscuss with me i am happy to help
Same thing here. Flashed wrong ROM via TWRP.
As a result, immediate loop (repetitive vibration, led blinking red) when connected via USB. No recovery access. Only fastboot access (blue led).
Locked bootloader.
Flashtool:
- tried flashing kernel.sin extracted from a stock ftf - no good (locked bootloader, unlocking requires flashboot which is not accessible).
- tried flashing system.sin extracted from a stock ftf - no good, flashtool says
INFO - Flashing selected system
and immediately after that
INFO - Please check the log before rebooting into system
So it clearly doesn't do anything. Any other approaches to try?

Flashmode does not work, it starts cycling immediately.

Can't flash anything, so can't try it.

I bought an M4 Aqua to keep me going for now as they're cheap. The E2306 is unrootable with 6.0.1 and I don't want to downgrade to Loli so no possibility to butt**** this one. If s300pmu1 and you figure it out, I'll do the same to mine.

I didnt get your comment brief it to me
Hello guys,
so two days ago just when I was heading into work my phone randomly started restarting itself again and again. I had it in my pocket, mobile data and wifi off and nothing really going on when this happened. I was on stock Cyanogen OS with 6.0.1, rooted and with Xposed, but nothing too crazy or experimental.
The phone would boot with a small vibration to the Oneplus logo with the "Powered by Android" writing, stay on that for about 17-18 seconds, then reboot again. No way of going to the recovery with the hardware keys, it would just reboot the same again and again. Since I couldn't really do much, not turn it off and no way of disconnecting the battery, I just had to watch it reboot helplessly until the battery was dead. At home with some hassle I could get it charged again, which basically consisted of charging it while it kept rebooting and cooling it while doing that since it would get really, really hot.
The only option that really works is is getting it into fastboot via the volume up + power button. But in fastboot nothing I did so far changed even the smalles thing about it's behaviour. I tried flashing a new recovery image, letting it boot into the recovery via fastboot (both stock recovery and TWRP), reflashing the complete OS via fastboot again (CM 13 ZNH2KAS3P0), completely wiping it via fastboot and flashing an older ROM (CM11S XNPH44S) but so far nothing has even changed a thing. It keeps booting to the Oneplus logo for about 17-18 seconds before rebooting. The only thing that has changed is with the CM11S ROM the fastboot logo of the android head is now bigger.
I checked the bootloader via fastboot, but it's still unlocked.
So yeah, I'm at my wits end and desperate for any help. At this point I fear it might be a hardware issue and I can trash it, but I'm ready to grasp for straws as I don't really have the money for a new device yet.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks guys!

how old is the device?
As far as I know my sister bought it around summer 2014 when it was released, I got it in late 2015

Lol,gave up that early?
It needs around 10 tries to get it correctly recognised.
Use XP system with the proper drivers given in the above thread.This tool doesn't work on adb/fastboot,it works on Usb Debugging Port,hence requires different drivers.

No, I didn't. I tried the USB Drivers I had already installed, the drivers that came in the package and the QPST Tool suggested in the thread on both my and my girlfriends laptop. But if it doesn't work on ADB/fastboot I probably can't use it anyway since my only two options are having the phone on the fastboot screen or having it constantly reboot....
At this point I'm just really, really frustrated and have sorta accepted it's very likely a hardware issue
I'm with the same problem. In my case, the tool does recognize and shows green after the end but when i try to boot, it only shows the boot logo.
I can enter in fastboot and trying the command "fastboot continue" the brightness goes up, but nothing else
already tried various tools, back to stock, qualcomm , and none worked, so can i throw it out of the window?
Edit: can't enter in recovery, and unlike the op, my phone doesn't reboot (at least i didn't notice it)
So I have a recent issue that I have not seemed to resolve. Today, under normal use, my pixel's screen went black and I have not been able to power it back on. I was using the pixel dust rom when the issue happened. I have booted into twrp and tried to factory reset but the screen even went black during the wipe. After that, I booted into the bootloader and attempted to flash google's factory image. The phone actually stays on during the bootloader session. It seemed that I was able to flash the factory rom but once I tried to reboot, the same thing happens. The boot animation will play but that's as far as it gets until the screen goes black once again.
If anyone has had this issue or if anyone has an idea on how to resolve this issue, please respond quickly.
Much Appreciated!
After the screen goes black, are you still able to communicate with the device over adb/fastboot? Have you tried reflashing the factory image (make sure the checksum is correct!)? If you put the phone in the refrigerator for a bit, will it last longer before going black (i.e., bad solder)?

So during fastboot, the screen actually doesn't go black. I am still able to remain communication and That is when I tried flashing the factory image. How do you make sure that the checksum is correct? I didn't receive any errors during the flash indicating that it didn't flash properly.
If you're using Windows, Hashtab is a good, free checksum program with a GUI.
Download
Info/Review
On Google's image download page, copy the SHA-256 listed, and compare it to what you have locally (which you used to flash onto your phone).
how to boot into twrp? almost the same issue to you, adb cant find my phone.

If adb cant detect your phone, it looks like the only way that you're going to boot into twrp is through the bootloader mode (if you had it previously installed). Holding down volume down and power will get you into bootloader and then using the volume buttons, you can cycle through the options until you find "recovery". Pressing the power button will select that option.

It looks like your freezer method works. Putting it in the freezer actually gets the phone to boot completely into google's factory image. its usuable for about a minute until the problem of freezing and turning off reoccurs. It feels like the phone warms up while running so maybe i have a hardware problem rather than software.
I seem to have the exact same problem with my pixel 32gb, my device was not rooted, nor did I had any custom recovery but the bootloader was unlocked. The issue happened one day while I was browsing the device went black right infront of me. It was not like I did a dirty flash/mod or something. I'm able to detect my pixel via fastboot, able to flash the factory image no problem, but does not boot up after successful completion of the flashing, it just goes black after "google" logo. Anyone found a solution yet??
thank you sir, I have twrp installed previously. but the screen doesnt turn on so I can't choose the recovery model. and try to hold the power button for a while the phone will become warm. no other response:crying:

Maybe try locking the bootloader? I might try to do that since you and i both are experiencing the same problem with an unlocked bootloader. But i can't see why that would impact anything.
its not the usual reboot loop, it gets not even that far, its stuck to the "this phone is jailbroken,hit power to pause" after that it just reboots,while empty.
i tried to switch it off, to ensure loading, but keeping the powerbutton 10sec pressed,is impossible,there is not enough time.
i tried to switch into the bootloader, and say switch off, well it goes back into the loop 2sec later,since it got a bit power, it tries its nonsense.
i tried differend loading methods, pc usb, usb pure (2.1mAh), and the oneplus speedloader adapter with the red cable.
what happend before, well it got empty, and switched off,the apps and such didnt change for about a year, it worked, and thats it.
the accu cell got changed about a year ago, by my insurance company, the old one balooned. so they changed it,meaning its not even a old cell.
trying fastload in bootloader,didnt help getting it charged,anything else just relooped.
iam open for suggestions.
thanks and regards

I think ur phone might be soft bricked or idk. But I'm pretty sure the problems didn't caused by the new battery.
Seems the phone didn't recognize the /system/ or something on twrp that says "There's no system installed" coz i've faced that (no system installed) before.
If u can manage boot into bootloader, try to fastboot a twrp.img and flash a stock firmware.
If u can't, or let's just say you really feel ur phone in fked up state, try to reflash everything with MSM Download Tool.
Here's some threads I found :
Soft Bricked?
I apologize as I've been out of flashing ROMs for over 4 years now. I unlocked my OP6 bootloader, added TWRP, the flashed Lineage 11. One of my apps wont play nice with root so I tried to go back to stock. I tried to use TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 to...

It is much better to state the status of your device briefly. Like are you on OOS or custom ROM, unlocked bootloader, with custom recovery installed, magisk installed, etc. Then tell the story on what you did or what happen before your phone got the issue you stated. Then maybe someone can help you in more specific way.
Like Azhar_Fahry recommended, I also recommend using MSM tool and revert back to original state like you first bought your device.
I was attempting to downgrade my moto g stylus 2021 from android 11 to 10. Something when wrong during my flash attempt and now I am stuck with a rapid bootloop where a motorolo logo will briefly flash on the screen and then go to back.
I can't seem to get back to fastboot although if I hold the down volume and power button the logo stops flashing and I just get a black screen.
Is there any possible path out of this I can try or did I hard brick my phone?
im having same thing downgrade issue i plug cord in just blink light no fastboot or recovery either.
So if you find a way let me know and ill do the same.

Same boat as you two. Used "fastboot set_active b" after flashing stock firmware and ignored the bootloader warning. Now im stuck hardbricked with no success blankflashing. Including info for EDL Mode and log from one of my blankflash attempts as well as the correct firehose programmer for this device.

Seems to be a few of us in the same situation. I downloaded Motorola's program for, supposedly, diagnosing and fixing their phones. I'm hesitant to use it because the only place I have Windows is a VM and I've found that the connection between the phone and the computer can get a little sketchy on reboots because the USB forwarding.

I have had no luck whatsoever. Originally I thought I was successful using a blankflash although it was not. I've pretty much given up on that device for now although if you have anything that may help, I have no problem being the guinea pig, lol.
