[Q] Z5 bricked for ever? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi team, how are u doing?
Happy new year for everyone, and I hope everybody gets very well in this year.
So I've came to try as last chance to recover my old Z5. This phone I gave to my mom and she uses every day and she loves
But a few weeks ago she tells me the phone start appear some glitches in camera, the battery discharge too fast...
My father goes to a phone center and change the battery and after that the phone don't turn it on anymore, just blinked 3 red lights and shut off.
I tooked the phone and trye to recover as I mentioned the phone was old version of some custom ROM from this forum and with all my old old knowledge hehe I've tryed to recover through TWRP but nothing happens.
So I came back to this forum and start read all the information again and how we can resolve this.
I already did:
1-wipe entire cellphone (wipe data, system, cache, kernel)
2-flahs old stock roms, and lastest stocked roms
3-I've BL locked again to try to use the Xperia Companion repair.
All this I've already did and nothing turn it back. The difference until now I could look is: "now the phone starts with xperia logo and after that android logo start loading and boot again blinking 3 red lights.
I can easy enter into flash mode and fastboot mode.
What I'm trying to do:
BLU unlocked again (I can't flashtool shows me an error "cant find loading.sin .. bla bla bla")
I've downloaded the EMMA Tool (it's the same of flashtool but created by SONY I guess - but I can't use because my BL it's locked and I don't know how to unlocked again.
I dont know if its the battery, because the phone appear to start turn on again, I think it's a software brick .. but I really don't know what I need to do.
Somebody can help me?
OH (unfortunally we have in this forum old tutorials and some of them are off already ... so it's being very hard to get more info to do this.)
I hope some kindless soul could help me in this revival
Wish you best!

Anyone?

n9006 bricked and MMC deleted

Hello guys,
I'm here for the first time and I would like to hear your opinions on what to do with my N9006 mt6589 which has been bricked. I'll explain what happened. While I was using my phone normally it started to have a strange behaviour, error notifications popped up, couldn't write messages and then suddenly it shut down. Tried to charge it, and still couldn't turn it on. As my battery was weak I changed it and thought that problem will be solved. When I inserted new battery, my phone was still dead. No LED when chargin, no light when pressing Power button, nothing, completely dead. I knew that it was hard bricked. As I'm not a newbie in android world, I managed to install drivers and to make it discoverable by PC as MediaTek Preloader...Only thing that I knew about this clone is model SM-N9006 which is appearing while turning it on (on sticker under battery I have N9002, however I searched for N9006 ROMs to flash on). I don't know any other info about this phone as I recieved it as gift few months ago and I didn't modified anything on it. Don't have back-up. After trying to flash about 20 ROMs I found one which worked for me. But, my problem does not stop here. My phone turned on but stayed awake for few seconds than suddenly shut down again. I entered in Factory Mode which has all chinese words and managed to delete eMMC!!! Oh yes, I made that terrible mistake. Now I'm unable to turn it on again. In CWM eMMC is not mounting, as well as data, system and cache. MTK Droid Tool discovered my phone and I got informations that you can see in attached picture INFO.jpg.
After that I realized that my phone model is A202_mula_64 which I think stands for N9006 MAX. However I didn't succeded in unbricking my phone because no ROM works as I deleted MMC. With this iBaby888 ROM installed on phone now when I check Info in Factory Mode I recieve info that you can see in attached picture PB180003.jpg
Can anyone tell me what to do now? Which ROM to flash and how to repartition MMC and sd-ext??? Do you think that MTK Droid Tool is reliable and discovers right info? If yes, then I have n9006 Max = A202_mula_64.
Sorry for such a long post but I need your help urgently.
PS. Forgot to mention that my phone is dual sim and I can access CWM.
Your help is highly appreciated!!! Best!
Any ideas on what to do guys??

Atrix stuck on M logo

Please help, ive read almost every post about this but none seems to work for me, i was on LEGORom, and today i decided to go back to 4.0.4, the susprise was when i got stuck on the M logo(the one with the waves) its moves three times and then i just see the M logo and nothing more, im able to get into fastboot, and conect to Rsdlite, i have flashed multiple times and the problem still there, also i did a factory reset via the stock recovery and the same issue, also i did the other method to flash the tom, and also to flash only the system and nothing seemed to work out.
Please i need some help.
Something that i notice watching the how to flash via rsd lite video on youtube is that my phone doesnt show up anything in the "device properities" part, is blank but that does not stop the flashing.
Thats everything that i did today, i hope someone can help me
edit1: on my pc it shows on devices properities all N/A but still the M logo stuck
Did you wipe everything before flashing?

Yep. I work in telephone repair service and i know red led mean dead motherboard.

I hope Sony will fix it and in case they don´t the insurance should do it,

Possibly hardbricked moto G XT1033 Indian model.Please help.

Hello!
I recently flashed my Moto G with the unofficial LineageOS 16 rom by allstargaurav. Kudos to him for his work.
I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP, flashed the rom, flashed Gapps,Magisk and started using it normally.
One night, after using it with the battery at 30%, I left it as it was and did not charge it.
The next day, I saw that it was not booting up at all. I plugged it in and the white led light started and did not go off.
The light was constantly on. I searched on google to no avail.
Nothing works and I have pressed the power button and power+volume down for more than 5 minutes.
I cant get to the fastboot menu or the TWRP, the phone doesnt power on at all so I cant do anything or get a logcat.
Please help!!!!
I also got the watchdogs boot animation. That is all I have modified.
Please tell me what is wrong and how to rectify it.
Please help quickly.
I am at wit's end and helpless. I should also mention that this was my first time flashing a rom on any device, but I followed the instructions very carefully.Before this the phone was on stock Lollipop rom, stock recovery and locked bootloader.
Thanking anyone who helps or even replies in advance.

Being unsure what the problem is, I also followed FabioSan's guide on unbricking the phone, but I got stuck on the part where we go to the device manager console as my PC would not recognise the phone no matter what I did.
Also, the warranty has expired long ago as the phone was bought in 2014 and it was only a 1year warranty.
Therefore, I am considering giving the phone to the moto support centre. I will also try replacing the battery as it may be a battery problem considering my symptom of the white light does not fit any hardbricked phone's symptoms. Will notify if it works.
Till then, please help and suggest what the problem might be.

Z3 Bootloop

Hello there. I own a Z3 model D6603. It is unlocked bootloader and Before it had got the bootloop i had Lineage OS 16 custom rom installed on it (Android 9). I was watching some videos on chrome and then the phone heated a little and then restarted. I thouhgt it was maybe some sort of instability but then it started just bootlooping.
Current Status right now is :
Once connected to pc goes to flash mode.
I can get it to fastboot.
When connected to charger just goes into endless bootloop where only SONY logo appears and then quickly restarts
In attempt to fix it I flashed stock FTF using multiple versions of Flashtool which was fruitless. I also Tried with EMMA but nothing helped still. And then after looking I think it might be damaged TA and I've seen so many say that if that's the case then the phone is bricked forever unless you have had a backup from a previous working state which I actually do. The problem is that I don't know how to flash this TA back since the phone doesn't boot to restore it through ADB. I saw that S1tool works with older devices and doesn't work with Z3 models so I wonder if there is a way to fix this. Thank you for your time.
PS : My power button doesn't work I used to use fastboot to boot it when necessary
Issues of that kind may be a hint for a dead battery, this should be ruled out first. Note: In that case your phone might not boot even if connected to a charger!
After that is ruled out, one should try to install LineageOS 16 or later following the official installation routine from scratch.
