BootLoader has never been unlocked.
Phone has never been rooted.
It was on Career Stock firmware, last KitKat update.
The phone was at 70% Battery, then power off itself. I tried to power on but the Red LED was blinking, then tried to charge it but it did the same thing.
Finnaly I tried to connect to PC, i got sounds notifications that it plugs in and out, Like the phone was powering off and on.
Does anyone know if it's possible to acces internal storage , and if it's possible to repair the device?
Thanks a lot for answers.
You can flash the Firmware again with flashtool...
The Phone doesn't stay connected and can't boot. How can i flash firmware this way?

Prepare the files in flashtool then when the flash tool tells you to connect the phone hold volume up and connect the phone to pc . If the flashing is started then the phone will stay connected until the end of flashing . I had this problem .
Hi Guys,
I really need your help unbrick my Xperia Z1 C902.
Here's what happened:
I tried to flash a custom rom that wasn't compatible VIA AROMA ( I had MiUi 7 custom rom ) and it is now dead. It won't boot. No sign of life. No Vibration when pressed vol up+Power . Hard reset ( via sim slot ) has no affect on the Phone. No recogniztion to USB on laptop ( tried other USB cables as well ).
I have left the phone be charged overnight assuming the flash took a toll on the battery ( it was about 30% when I flashed the phone )and in the morning there was a red LED. Assuming the battery had enougfh power I tried to turn it on, connect to Laptop, Fast boot mode, flash mode but with no luck.
Day2:
Left the phone connected to the stock charger for about 20 hours or so.
No LED lights. No vibrations. No sign of detection on the laptop.
Sony Companion will not detect my phone via fastmode as well.
This phone is out of warranty so I was hoping you can help save some bucks before I take it to the Sony centre.
I looked through XDA all day but nothing has helped me bring my phone back to life.
EDIT:
I have downloaded India Stcok ROM via Xperifirm and tried to flash it but the flashtool does not detect the phone. Fastboot and Flashmode both does not detect the phone. Strange thing is, when I plug the phone to laptop holding the Vol down button, a red LED blinks for few seconds but the fastboot does not work ( as my phone has bootloader unlocked )
ADB does not work - No devices connected.
If there is anyway I can flash or install TWRP recovery ( or any for that matter ), I have the old working MiUI rom in the external SD card.
I will owe you a beer or two and a dinner if you 're able to bring my phone back to life. Please I am desperate.

Hi.
You have flashing led that means there is some hope first press and hold hard reset button for 15-20 seconds under sim cover then realizes it. Now plug in charger and dont touch the phone before 4-5 hours. Let it charge even though red led comes on.
After that disconnect your phone and don't turn it on wait for 5 minutes.
Also do check if the flash tool drivers are properly installed (window 8 and newer needs you to disable driver signature enforcement) use flashtool version 0.9.19.0, dont know why but this version works best for me.
Flash *.108 firmware (available in xda) also do always check hash after downloading.
Now try to flash the firmware as normally we do and hope for the best. This method worked fine for me many times.
Good luck..! [emoji111]
The flashing Red LED is bringing back some really bad memories of my own Hard brick. Try what kathanpatel suggests first - holding the reset button down.
Are your symptoms identical to this?:

There is a link to a post with instructions on recovering from the hard brick. Good luck.

The red button in a sim slot won't have any effect unless your phone is connected to the charger (not computer). Connect the charger, press and hold the red button for about 10 seconds until there is vibration. Then immediately push and hold the power button for a few seconds.

is there a solution??? ... i think it's usb c port setting or somthing like driver or what?
Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem and experience with my XZ2C with locked bootloader and latest PIE fw *. 163 (CE1, Czech Republic).
I also did not find anything, what could help. I wiped and reflashed phone (PIE, Oreo), it was useless and waste of time.
I also noticed, that I'm not able to start the phone when connected to PC, it starts directly in flash mode (same as POWER + vol Down). And there is no graphics in this mode also... I think, I had to select something in the 'menu' with blue (?) background to be able to flash ROM previously...
Another 'great' update from Sony?
I hope they will fix it in next (bootloader) update.
I noticed that 2 days ago, when I restart it outside. I did not notice that before, probably because if I restart it, I usually do it at PC desk or in my bed with phone on charger...
No XZ2 user with the same experience?

I don't have this problem, but I recommend to get in touch with the Sony support and give them the logs the need.
I hope your device hardware is not faulty.

yes that's my problem when plug it in pc entre recover mode whitout touching anything and wont reboot until plug charger maybe it's software like boort or kernel something like that????
Unfortunately, the update *.202 did not change anything, still the same behavior.
But I experienced even bigger issue, three days ago, I was unable to charge the phone. When I connected USB cable, phone notified me the same way as when the charging really started (sound and "circles" on the screen), but it keeps discharging.
And the charging did not even start when the phone was turned off. It showed battery with percentage and... nothing.
Only reflash with newflasher helped for two days and then it happened again today. Once on *.163 and once on *.202 . Today it was even stranger, I selected "Power off" with 35 % and 1 hour later the phone was hot ("turned off") and it showed 6% after connected to charger, no charging.
After reflash and reboot (Vol Up + Power), the battery percentage flashes in one second like 20%, 0%, 6%, 0% and then it started charging as usual...
I wrote to Sony support today, so I am curious about the reply.
@MartinX3 Do you have any useful contacts with Sony developers, who could help, assist me or I could help them with diagnostic? I can imagine that the reply from local Czech Sony support would be "send it to repair center", but I am not sure, it helps to avoid the problem in the future.

The first thing they would say is "do a full wipe and test it with the newest firmware"
I think it's a broken, corrupted battery, only replace it

If a fullwipe and maybe a reinstallation of the latest firmware doesn't help, then it's high likely broken hardware.
@MartinX3 Can I wipe the phone "more fully" than using newflasher with user*.sin file or Xperia Companion's Software Repair/Restore ?
I remember I had similar problem with my HTC HD2 and full wipe helped, but that included flashing the HSPL (BIOS?), Magldr (bootloader) and then ROM.
But I don't think the bootloader of XZ2(c) is updated with every new "security patch level" update, is it?
Btw, the support reply was kinda useless as expected.
"... I had to use Xperia Companion to make it operational again....bla bla... Could you provide me a contact to the authorized person or developers, who could assist me and I could provide logs, dmesg?"
Reply: "You can try XPERIA Companion ...bla bla.... If it doesn't help, you can send it to service center..." Just general copy and paste text. :-/
Good morning people,
Hope you are well!
I updated my Mi A2 via OTA to PIE, it was in Bootloop, I got MiFlash back to OREO (V9.6.16.0), and I tried to install PIE, now for Fastboot MiFlash , but my cell phone was again in Bootloop.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Or what happened to someone else?
Thanks for the help!
Claim warranty by far the most easy solution.
And yeah more people have this isseu.
had same problem... twice but solved very easy
just boot to recovery boot (volume down ad power)... connect power and left 10-15 minutes...
dont disconnect phone from power and press and hold power until reboot, release power button and voila, phone normally boot!!!!
i notice if you not wait long enough in recovery boot, phone remain in bootloop... just be patient and maybe helps... works for me twice...

But when I do this, it goes into Fastboot mode (power and volume minus).
Are you talking about going into recovery mode?

just enter in fastboot mode and do nothing... only connect to power charger
is weird because i had two times this problem.. once after android 9 upgrade week ago, and second time today after factory reset
every times i cant do anything to work... this with power charger was stupid idea but is worked.... just connect charger in fastboot mode, wait 10-15 minutes and restart phone with power button... both times this worked for me...
i remember few years ago similar problem with Nokia/MS windows phones batteries and similar steps helped...
After instal january update and restart, on the phone see Android One logo and nothing is happening. After 5 minutes it switches off.
I'll get to the bootloader, but I can not unlock the bootloader (neither unlock critical). Is anyone able to help?
Use official xiaomi "MI FLASH TOOL" on Windows and flash with full stock image named "fastboot rom"
(Download image here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/latest-android-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-a2/)
(You have to extract on Windows this tar.gz and tar also, and then flash with Xiaomi tool)
If you need help with this tool, read this "mi flash tool" tutorial:
