Xperia Z unresponsive - possible bricked

ok so I got my phone (xperia z)
rooted with easy rooting toolkit
Installed cwm recovery
Stupidly tried to flash a gnexus rom
did nothing still on stock
So i found the yuga cyanogen 10.1
tried to flash that
Wiped Data, Cache
Loaded
But it did nothing, and then when I tried to turn it on it vibrated but was otherwise unresponsive
When plugged into mains, flashing orange LED
When USBed, orange light, quickly changes to green light then off
ABSOLUTELY ZERO RESPONSE
tried everything suggested on here, I really have, wouldnt be wasting your time otherwise, but i'm really scared
On PC companion it just connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects continually with no device type recognition just 'phone connected'
PLEASE HELP
and also my mother is going to absolutely destroy me if i dont fix this. I was bugging her for ages for this phone, and now ive broken it :'(

If you keep the volume UP button pressed and connect the USB. (Do not press power)
Does it enter fastboot mode?
Kind regards, Stefan.

Download and flash a generic FTF file from your region, using flashtool.
Check the topic: [NOOBS GUIDE] Create your own stock firmware FTF & Flashtool flashing guide[+ pics]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188129
Check the part: Stage 4 = Flashing FTF.
That is after downloading a generic FTF file from your region, and installing the correct fastboot drivers.
This post belongs in Xperia Z General instead of Xperia Z Android Development, and should be stickied.
Very useful information by xl VipeR lx.
Kind regards, Stefan.

AW: Xperia Z unresponsive - possible bricked
Overkill. Either run a "repair" operation on PC Companion or reflash your phone with SUS, Sony Update Service. No point in flashing a FTF which doesn't originally belong to the phone.

@OP I'm guessing you haven't unlocked the bootloader which is probably why flashing CM bricked your phone. Relax... Xperias are very hard to brick, as schaggo said just repair with SUS and you should be fine. In future if you have any doubts just drop me a PM

Sounds to me like the reason you couldn't get CM to work is because you didn't actually flash the kernel like you are supposed to the first time. I assume this because all you say is you got cm10 and flashed it and it didn't work.
You are supposed to (for the first time flashing CM10):
1) download the .zip
2) extract boot.img from the zip
3) flash that boot.img in fastboot (put it in your fastboot folder, open cmd and use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot reboot"
4) boot into recovery
5) now flash the .zip of cm10 as per normal.
6) enjoy the cyan goodness
My issue I am facing now is returning to my original stock firmware. Restoring the backup doesn't work, nor does getting the boot.img out of the backup folder and fastboot flash that. Well it all flashes and restore, but it won't boot. It's easy enough to get back to cm from there though:silly:

Problem (droid 4 is bricked atm) trying to get fastboot to pickup on computer

so im pretty into flashing and using XDA for getting my roms and my information for flashing and everything.
so bottom line is that i tried to root my droid 4, it no longer boots up anymore past the motorola sign. does not reach droid screen anymore
i tried downloading the newest drivers and got the newest version of RSD lite to help me combat the issue
now i CAN get the phone into APfastboot flash mode
BUT
i cannot get the computer to pick it up
everytime i plug it into the computer, no matter what combo i try it , i can not get the computer to pick up the USB device at all
anyone know how i can combat this issue ? computer won't pick up the droid 4 in fastboot mode

Download and Install Drivers (Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation...)
Motorola Drivers for Windows http://goo.gl/mIsi4h
It’s a good idea to reboot pc after installing drivers
if AP fastboot says battery low
it will not flash
Booting from AP fastboot to charging mode
If the Device will only boot to AP Fastboot and it says Battery Low
Connect the phone/Device ato a Wall Charger (not PC)
-In AP Fastboot Mode hold Volume down& power buttons at the same time for +10 seconds
- When screen goes black...release power button
-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ to boot to Boot Menu.
- In Boot Menu scroll down with volume down to BP Tools, press volume up to select
- Device should boot to Charging Mode with battery icon
- Once battery is charged, try flashing in AP Fastboot again
This will only work if battery charging Firmware is still preset and not corrupted
If Motorola Device will not boot to Charging Mode, a Fastboot cable will be needed.

Looks like the CM recovery.. You have a chance of making CM work if you put whatever it is you are trying to flash into your internal storage and not to sdcard..
Please give some more info on what you are trying to do?

Z3 compact destroyed after root/unroor trial?!

Hi guys,
I need your help!
I have had a rooted Z3compact and i wanted it to unroot. But I did a mistake and now it looks like that the phone is dead.
What I did:
1. I wanted to unroot my phone. So I restarted it to enter the recovery menu. (pushing power button and loudspeaker buttons). Because of the fact that I rooted my phone the TWRP Menu appeared.
2. I entered the "Wipe-Menu" and selected all:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I dont want to select system, but I already pushed the button
I thought I can anyway at least enter the TWRP, but no!
When I now start the phone just the Sony Logo appears and that's all.
I already tried:
a. PC Companion -> Phone not detecting
b. Flash Tool -> Detects the phone but shows " This phone is locked"
-> This why the question to all of you. Is there a possibility to fix this?
THANK YOU!!!

Try using Emma
https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/

Hello as I wrote before I already tried "Emma or Flashtool" and unfortunately It appears "This phone is locked"
So I don't know what eslse I can do because I am not an expert.
I would appriciate if someone have some other ideas or hinds.
Thanks

Well, there is actually 2 completely unrelated tools that is both using the name flashtool.
In this case the unofficial Flashtool is what you should try as it can work on a phone with a locked bootloader as well.
So download this and try to flash a stock rom (make sure you select one that is compatible with your mode [l/B])
Flashtool can automatically grab the firmware and download it for you.
Please let me know if this works for you
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php

So what you did is,since you have a locked bootloader,the recovery is actually located in the system partition,so then when you wiped it you removed recovery as well.
As @-Zteam- said try using the unofficial Flashtool and you should be good.

Hi Zteam thank you for this tip.
I installed the tool.
I connected the phone (I just connected the USB cable) and the tool shows "Device connected in flash mode".
When I do nothing after a while the phone starts (Sony Logo on display) and the tool shows "Device disconnected".
Can you give me a short instruction which steps I have to do?!
This would be perfect.
Thanks alot!

You want to select the ftf file you're going to flash, and then choose flash. It takes a while to become ready, perhaps its unpacking the file to be flashed (don't know why but it takes a fair bit of time). The phone will reboot during this wait as you've experienced. You can hold down the power button and the volume up button together for a number of seconds to power it off, unplug the cable, then replug it in flashmode again, or from memory you can just wait until the file is ready to be flashed, then plug the phone in flashmode in which case it isn't going to reboot because its powered off and disconnected.
One of those things will work, either not plugging it in until it tells you it needs to, after choosing to flash the ftf, or by forcing it off and back on in flashmode using the power button and volume button.

Hi,
the phone works again! Thanks to all!
For all who have the same problem

I really can recommend this tool. It is very easy to handle.
