PLEASE HELP! Very concerned have hard bricked phone!

Hi Guys,
So the story is that I was updating my Xperia Z3 (details below) from TWRP 2.8.6 to 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga' using the instructions androidnewsbox.com/2016/02/08/how-to-install-and-update-to-twrp-3-0-0 and after flashing the new TWRP the phone can no longer enter recovery mode and I get no other booting/loading screens.
I had 100% battery when I started the process.
It does still do the little vibrate thing when I hold down the power button but nothing happens after that.
When I plug it into the PC the LED flashes red, then green then goes off.
Reading the instructions twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html I did use the 'install' function not the 'recovery' function. Is that likely to be the mistake I made? If so is there any way to recover?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Model: D6653
Previous TWRP: 2.8.6
Android version: 5.0.2
Software version: 23.1.A.0.726

Use flashtool to reflash a new system image (ftf). You're using stock so probably your kernel doesn't support FOTA-Kernel partition flashing.

Great to hear back from someone.
Unfortunately I don't think that I can just flash a new ftf using flashtool as I cant get into fastboot mode.
I have been working through the following online tutorial
engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
I have installed the USB drivers on my PC from here
androidmtk.com/download-sony-xperia-usb-driver
And i can get the ftf file from here (mine is 1288-6090)
xpericheck.com/device/D6653
Unfortunately I am unable to put the phone into fastboot mode by holding down the power and down buttons. Nothing happens.
The tutorial above also tells me "If phone not going to Fastboot mode than connect it to PC by USB. Hold Volume Up and Power button until you get company logo or backlight."
This also does nothing and I get no backlight or company logo.
FYI if it helps about a year ago I rooted my phone using a tutorial very similar to this
oneandroid.gs/root-xperia-z3/
I will keep working on the problem and post any updates as they come up.

First hard shut down your phone by using combo, after that, download the ftf for your phone (1288-6090 is the customization, what you need is an ftf that its compatible with your phone model, download flash tools, install the drivers that come with it, and using xperifirm (Included in flashtools) you download the firmware) After you have all settled up, proceed to flash your phone, select firmware and then it'll ask you to connect your phone in flash mode not fastboot mode, you can do that by pressing vol up + power (press them and while pressing them connect the usb to the pc). Then the flashing process will start. You can find many tutorials around here in xda. Do not use external tutorials, go find stuff here. It's way more reliable as many are made just for your phone.

Hi and thanks again.
This gives me plenty to learn about and go forward with thanks heaps.
I will give this process a go later today but I have a few questions if you dont mind.
hard shut down your phone by using combo

I am not familiar with any combo and without visual ques from the screen or LED I cant tell if it is off. I have a button that says 'off' near the sim card is that sufficient?

Do I need to continue to hold down the buttons during the flashing process?

I do feel a little out of my depth here and am a bit confused about what to even search for to find a tutorial on what you are suggesting. If you can point me to an example tutorial that would be fantastic.

Yes that one, If you press it enough (about 5-10 secs) the phone will shutdown and It wont try to restart. This is what you need first.

No, only when connecting the phone to start flashing the system software, you will see a green light in the notification led that will then shut off and flashing process will start.

This is a great almost-up-to-date guide http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
XperiFirm is included in flashtools now so you don't have to download it, but to get your firmware you have to do the same steps but opening xperifirm from inside flashtool.
You can download flashtool here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

Seems to be a success!
Thanks heaps for all your great assistance.

Did you get the Z3 D6653 going again?
Hi H3llcat,
Jumping through some hoops with the D6653 myself... did you get it to boot up? Not sure how far you went with it, if still an issue charge it back up and let's try a couple of things; I realize it'll just be sitting there all dumb and dark like, but do it anyway. So let us know.

OnePlus 6 won't start anymore...

Hi guys!
My OnePlus 6 phone went dead yesterday. I was using it normally and then it turned itself off and didn't come back anymore.
When I turn it on, it vibrates and the OnePlus logo appears for less than a second (just a flash) and then it goes off again. If I keep volume buttons pressed while powering on, the same thing happpens but with Fastboot logo. I can't get to fastboot mode. I can only get the phone detected in the Qualcomm mode (up key + power while USB connected) and I've already tried flashing the stock ROM with MSMDownloadTool (using the guide in this forum) and, although the process goes the way it should without any error, after completed the phone reboots and the problem remains the same.
I've tried a lot of things to revive it, since power cycles (as requested by OnePlus online support) 'til hardbrick procedures as I described above.
Is there anything else that I can do to fix my phone!?
Thanks!
Gilcio

when the debrick tool fails, you have a hardware failure. RMA is your friend.

Bootloop, I am noob

Hello i have bootloop problem, at least I think that is the problem. I used normally my phone when he shut down and entered fast boot with constant screen on with fast boot then I tried to restart device with long press power button and combination of volume down and power button which did nothing, but with power, volume down and volume up he tried to boot the system but entered in bootloop he even managed to boot it once but he put back him self in to bootloop fastboot screen.
in video redmi sing shows when i press combination of power volume up and down.
In video its what is happening
Download file IMG_9137.mp4
Download file IMG_9137.mp4
fastupload.co
I am sorry if there was questions before but i read a ton of articles and don't know which one to follow because I am noob, so please if you can explain me step by step what software do i need or whatever. Thanks in advance!
Any help will be appreciate it!
Its miui 12 no roms or anything
and ye I hope that I put question at least on right subforum

Simply flash new software with Xiaomi flash tool. Remember your bootloader should be unlocked if you want to flash "stock ROM"
However, if you're device's bootloader is not unlocked you have to use the test point method or EDL (Emergency Download).
Hope you're problem gets solved.
Good luck!

Hard brick without fastboot enabled

Hello guys.
I need your help. My phone bricked itself. I left it on charge for the night and faced a black screen issue next day. Bootloader is not unlocked, so I can't enter the fastboot mode. When I press and hold all three buttons I see Mi logo for some time and nothing after. When I connect it to PC via usb it connects after some time but almost instantly disconnects. During that short period of connected state I see usb serial device(COM7) in device manager which disappears then. Then 20-40 sec pause and the same connection and disconnection. Of cource, miflash doesn't see it at all when I try to flash it. I have no experience with disassembling so I cannot flash the phone using motherboard directly or try to enter fastboot by pulling out and in battery. Any thoughts what it can be and how to fix it? Appreciate any helpful info related. I saw a bunch of articles and cases but everything got stuck because of that frequent usb toggling. Not much you can do when you can't even connect

Excuse me, but, there are a lot of errors and misunderstanding in your post, so you should need to sort them out, to can advance on this.
Fastboot doesn't need to be enabled, fastboot is always there, you just need to press the right buttons to send it to this mode.
USB debugging enables the ADB connection, most probably, you don't need it to fix your device.
Although this said, keep in mind that your device must have the bootloader unlocked, in order to use fastboot to flash.
If this is not the case, then you should need to use a different mode, the EDL mode, also called QHUSB-9008.
You can try, firstly, by booting in stock recovery, formatting data, sometimes this may fix the bootloop issue.

Sorry, you are right. I am not good at firmware and all the related stuff. I've updated the post. I was confused about 'fastboot' and 'bootloader'. I meant bootloader was not unlocked. But about EDL - Redmi 6 has MediaTek SoC, but still it has something similar to EDL mode. Anyway, you showed me what I can try to do next. I will try to use preloader like here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...icked-redmi-note-9-merlin-hard-brick.4347025/
Thanks a lot!

Ok, I didn't check exactly the processor on Redmi 6, due to lack of time. Anyway, a MediaTek device is even easier to fix (in the paper). Qualcomm's devices have EDL (Emergency DownLoad) mode, and MTK has Download mode (apart from many more modes.)
You also, can follow this guide, with more visual insights https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...india-6s-using-spflash-tool-for-free.4222027/ of course replace carefully the files from the ones that are for your device.
And this tool also can be useful, to take a complete backup, after to try a thing https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
Be advised, that, in any case you have to make a complete format, in SPFT only use the Download option.
Just as a side note, even your bootloader is locked, you always can enter to fastboot mode, the case is that is almost useless, specially in this situation, because a Xiaomi locked device can't be flashed through fastboot.
And to enter to fastboot mode, it's not the three buttons, you have within the various options, as ADB and commands are not available, you can enter manually, either, pressing the volume minus + PWR at same time, or pressing the volume minus button, at same time you connect your device to your PC.

OnePlus 8T Dead (Solved)

When I used the Fastboot Enhance tool to flash the payload.bin file, after the flash process finished I try to reboot but unfortunately it was dead.
No Fastboot, no EDL, no recovery, 3 buttons not working, power with up/down not working, when i connect to PC no sound that the pc recognize the phone "OP 8T", when I plug it into charger no info showing, Just black screen.
So it's working now, I'll explain everything here so it might help.
My device is OnePlus 8T DDR5 version
first, I understand what happened to me, I think the tool didn't recognize ram type automatically so it was flash DDR4 on a DDR5 device, so it made a hard brick
at this point, the idea is to connect 2 test points, and you can force your phone to enter to EDL mode, and we can do it in two ways:
1. Rootk1t giude, thax bro Rootk1t
- Removing the back panel by heating it.
- Unplugging battery
- Then use the EDL points on the motherboard to force the device to boot EDL.
- The device immediately will be recognised with just one tap on "enum" now.
- Plugging the battery again and attaching the back panel and rebooting
2. By using deep EDL cable, but not any edl cable, it must be a moded cable so it can be worked with the new security ...... this link will explain
Hydra Tool Gift Xiaomi, Huawei, Redmi Qualcomm EDL Mode New V2 Cable!! - GSM-Forum
Hydra Tool Gift Xiaomi, Huawei, Redmi Qualcomm EDL Mode New V2 Cable!! Hydra Tool New Type-C EDL cable Schematic With this cable you can reboot your
forum.gsmhosting.com
- So i use Hydra EDL Cble V2 , you can buy it from aliexpress
- Be ready and open your MSM tool
- Press the cable button before connecting
- Connect the cable to your phone when you still pressing the button
- Then connect the USB to your PC
- It will automatically put your phone in EDL mode
- Now your phone will show in the MSM tool screen so you can revive it.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Special thanks to Rootk1t , semdoc

Seem like you flashed the wrong xml for the ram type. There is one for ddr4 and ddr5. If EDL is not working I'm afraid according to several post it's an unrecoverable brick...sorry mate!!!
However keep searching for a solution, you never know maybe a new method of recovery from this disaster may exist. I'll keep searching and if I find anything I'll post it here!
Also have you tried the 3 buttons connected from charger and disconnected? Usually for some reason my phone won't respond with the 3 buttons when connected to usb sometimes.
Also have you used the msm tool before?

Just one more thing, when you connect the phone to pc check your device manager to see if the PC reads the phone. If it does than its just a driver issue and reinstalling the qualcom driver for msm maybe needed.

I've found that sometimes I have to reinstall the Qualcomm drivers for EDL. So check that when you connect the phone to the PC in EDL mode there isn't an entry in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT)

I can't know which mode the phone is stuck on, because I have only a black screen, even the Power button with volume up / down not working,

I would open it up and remove the battery instead of waiting for days but that's also an option. It's not that hard to open, I opened mines to replace the usb port. I just held the back of the bottom corners of the phone over the stove until it was hot enough to soften the glue and used an old credit card and my thumb nail to open it. It maybe unrecoverable anyway so its worth a try.

I've had a totally black screen at times in Qualcomm Crashdump Mode. To get out of it you can use Power+Vol up and then, when the phone buzzes, use the key combination for bootloader or MSM.

Hello!
If waiting for battery to discharge will not help you, i suggest of:
- Removing the back panel by heating it.
- Unplugging battery
- Then using the EDL points on the motherboard to force the device to boot EDL.
-The device immediately will be recognised by just one tap on "enum" now.
- Plugging the battery again and attaching back panel and rebooting.
