Hi,
I wanted to change my rom to newest version of CarbonROM (7.x.x). I downloaded new rom, copied this onto my sd card, then I rebooted my phone to recovery where I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik. Later I flashed new rom from .zip file, everything went fine, so I rebooted my device and then I realized that it's not starting anymore. I was holding power button but there was only short vibration signal and anything more, when I connect my xperia z3 (d6603) to charger, only red light is blinking, when I'm trying to start device while it's connected to charger, red light is not blinking but it shines continously till I release power button. When I'm holding power and volume up there are only three short vibrations and that's all, they are repeating till I release buttons (this only happens when xperia is connected to charger or computer in other situation there is no response for power and volume up). Flashtool says that I have to install drivers, but they're already installed, device manager shows my phone as uknown device. But when I'm connecting my phone to computer, there is this specific sound from windows and flashtool shows that 'Device disconnected', when I'm disconnecting it. Is there any hope for my phone? Can I try anything more?

Similar issue here, I have a d6603 and after using GiefRoot & NUT's DualRecovery I succesfully entered TWRP and attempted to install CarbonROM (latest: device-z3 on the official website)

Now my phone won't boot until I re-flash an older version of stock... any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Followed this guide: xda's Z3 forum: guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
2. boot into recovery, turn off zip verification
3. install CarbonMOD's zipfile

What'd I miss? :S
