Is it bricked? DId you try to 'repair' it through Sony PC Companion?

No option for repair
Every time pcc said! Turn on your phone and connect to pc
But no go
When it was connected to pc or charger! It whent in to bootloop
But anyway I told my self h... No
Open flashtool and downloaded the firm and flashed the latest and I'm back on
Thanks for replying

how did you manage to flash your Z3+?

Try flash other kernel like alfs or linuxDX,... to restore the recovery.
If it doesn't work, you can use WotanClient to find and flash stock ROM. Very easy to use

For my knowledge, this operation via PC COMPANION, can repair what kind of brick? Bad flashing or something like that which stop flashmode run?

Need Help.

My sony xperia z will not power on anymore. If i connect it to a charger, it shows the sony logo and keeps restarting. When i connect it to my computer not much happens. SUS can detect it and i tried updating it, it downloads and installs and tells me to restart my phone but still nothing happens and the same thing as before happens when i connect it with a charger.Sony PC Companion app does not detect the phone.
So i tried flashing with xperia flasher and i downloaded a 4.3 stock rom, flashed it but then at the end it says usb debugging mode must be enabled but i do not think its enabled, nor can i check since my phone does not power on.
Please Help!!!

Did you try to hard reset it? Try to press power and vol up.
What to you mean with xperia flasher? Download a .ftf file and use flashtool

sorry meant FlashTool. i did flash and it completed it successfully but when i tried powering on, nothing happend. so i connected to charger and the sony logo loop restart happen again. it said at the end of flashing that usb debugging must be enabled so i think that may be the problem why it did not work.
I have tried hard reset. It vibrates once, pauses and then vibrates 3 times and then nothing.

What if you open pcc, select repair phone and follow the steps on screen? (your phone has to be powered off)

I know, but I wasn't sure if you tried it with the repair method. If you just plug your phone in to the pc, it won't recognize it. But when you use the repair method, pcc tells you to power off the phone, and bring it into flashmode

When I open up pcc and select "Support Zone" - "phone / tablet software update" - "repair phone" it'll ask what phone you have, then you select it, it will download the firmware and ask you to power off the phone and plug it in while holding vol up

Sorry my bad. You were right.
However i don't think i had a repair option. It is currently downloading a firmware i think.
I'll keep you updated.
Thanks a lot.

nvm, found out how to do it. Completed it but it still does not work.
Is it cause i need at least 50% battery? If so, is there any way of doing so? because if i connect to wall charger it does the sony logo restart loop and when i connect to pc it goes in mtp mode.

I don't think it's because of your battery level..... I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that....
I think you have to send it to sony for repair. As long as you haven't modified anything on your phone they should repair it
Edit: Before you send it to sony, try their chat, sometimes they can help

If you dont know bootloader unlock, its most probably its locked. Grab an ftf and flash with flashtool. Usually update service works.

I have done that before so that means it should be unlocked.
Now what do i do?

The green light blinks for fewer then a second. And when windows trys to install the driver it fails. It says failed to install SOMC flash device. Fastboot ist working fine. I will try it tomorrow on another computer. I hope it works.
Sorry for my english its not my first language.

I saw one of the driver failed to installed, if it not related with flash mode driver then let it be...that driver you install from flashtool by androxyde?
If yes the driver should not be the problem anymore..
I use driver from flashtool too located at disk C/flashtool/driver...it install successfully without any problem..
May i know what's your phone condition before you start flashing? Is it working fine before?
One more..try using another usb port too..
