HELP OTA update bricked my phone! - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

I bought my XZ1 Compact 5hrs ago and got notified of an update. I put it to install and after installing the phone restarted itself, however I got error message "your device has failed verification and will not work. Your device will be powered off after 5 seconds." And it dies. Same message and power off everytime I try to power it on.
Please HELP!

Try Software Repair with Sony PC Companion program

It's not bricked, as it's turning on and you're getting a message.
As above, start PC Companion, although now it's called 'Xperia companion', follow instruction on repair..

HELP: Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

HI, I need help fixing my Z3 Compact (D5803).
-My phone had Android 4.4.4, had Root and had firmware 23.4.A.1.200 I believe. (some pre-rooted firmware)
-I flashed that firmware onto my phone a long time ago and its been running great ever since.
-Today I decided to try more flashing, I rushed it and accidentally flashed firmware for the Z3, not Z3 Compact, plus I forgot to turn on USB Debugging!!!!
-It pretty much failed flashing, tried to turn on my phone and I get the update failed screen.
-I researched it, looked into repairing it through PC Companion, but decided to try flashing again and still not seeing that I had the wrong firmware.
-It seemed to have flashed some of the way but had errors and stopped flashing, I tried turning on my phone but now I get nothing.
-No LED, no vibration, no Charge LED, no Update failed screen, no Sony logo, no nothing.
-The only thing I get is when I plug USB into my PC then into phone, it takes 10 seconds, then I get sound on PC and a notification saying (Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) but still no LED light on my phone or vibration.
-I tried uninstalling the driver, I tried different button reset ideas, even tried the little yellow button next to the SIM card.
-I tried repairing it with PC Companion but it cant do that because it wont recognize it or respond to the (hold vol down then plug in USB).
-Didnt bother try fixing it with flash tool because I knew I'd have the same results as I did with PC Companion ^^^^^^^^
-I read some people say that the USB error can be a Hardware issue but I dont think it is because my phone worked fine before all this. (Unless the USB cable fried my phone some how???? lol
-I did make a backup before I did the flashing which I put on my micro SD card, and I had that out when I tried flashing so it should be safe
I think thats it. If theres any thing else that comes to mind that might help I'll add it in when I can.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Force install drivers using the "Have disk" option through the device manager control panel.
If the firmware that controls the USB interface and bootloader are corrupted, it's possible that it's hard bricked and needs to be recovered using JTAG.
I've had bricked phones due to hardware failures that caused the same error.

Thanks for the reply.
My phone wont show up on the pc anymore. wont show unknown device in device manager neither.
When I first plug it in the LED shows red for a little then goes away, so I think the battery is dead, i charged it but still nothing shows up on the pc.
I would like to try and recover it using JTAG. I know how to open up the phone and all, but I dont know how to JTAG.
Could you give me some video tutorials or step by step instruction on how to do it for my phone? Also what JTAG hardware and software do I need?
thanks :]

Bootloop - Your Device is Corrupt

Yesterday I flash SEA firmwear to Xperia 1 ii via Flasher which result to constant boot loop with error message "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot"
I have attempted to repair the phone via Xperia Companion, however the repair stopped midway due to not enough battery. Due to constant reboot, I doubt my phone is even charging.
I have also attempted to repair via flashtool by flash the software again, however error message show when it begin "warn unit 1002 does not exist"
Any suggestion on how can either charging my phone or other method to resolve this issue?
Connect the phone to the computer while holding down the volume up or down to enter adb or fastboot and this will let you charge your xperia
Thanks
Managed to charged my phone and restore via Xperia companion. Funny thing is my software is still HK rather than SEA...
