UEUpdateFailed UE_2005 on my Xperia XZ

[OzzTheBozz]

I tried to repair my smartphone with PC Companion and the update failed like expected. Happens nearly every time with sony smartphone. Now i'm not able to start my device and can't attempt an other repair cuz it's saying that the device is locked. But i cannot unlock it, cuz it won't start. Can i throw the smartphone in the trash? Or is there any way to fix it?Great how adding pictures works here! *facepalm*

I'm sorry to hear that, does the phone charge at all? if it does then let it charge for 1-2 hours, make sure to use a wall charger not a computer > then do not try to turn it on, open Xperia Companion > follow the repair steps and see if that does it

The phone was/is fully charged. But i have no access to the phone, it's saying "Its' locked!" I needed to click on "allow data transfer" on my phone to connect it with companion. But now i'm not able to do that, because it's not starting due to the failed repair.

if you repaired the phone with Xperia Companion, all your data its gone, if you only updated through Xperia Companion the data should be there, BUT, since it wasn't installed properly you will have to repeat the update/repair process, just keep the phone off and follow the steps 

Does the notification LED turn on (Green) whenever it's connected to 1 a wall charger 2 a computer?

The notification led is green.

ok, just run XC > follow the steps to repair the phone > Do NOT connect the phone until you are prompted to do so

Worked finally after 4 failed repair attempts. Connecting the phone after i was prompted to do so was the right hint.
