T2 Ultra not booting after installing Lollipop.

My T2 Ultra Dual was the finest phone I've seen until I received a message to update to Lollipop.
I did, and now it is not even booting.
I tried hard resetting but nothing happens.
Does anyone know how to format it ?

Great news.

Yesterday I was about to throw my T2 Ultra Dual in the trash, but I tried a last attempt to save it.

And it worked !!!

So I apologized for my harsh words, but still I don't change the meaning of what I said:  these mistakes explain the reason why Sony is just a secondary player on the phone world.

I'm sure Sony lost thousands of consumers because of this very same problem that I faced, and because they are not required to know to fix it.

Anyways, I came here because I still believe in Sony and hope to help other custumers to fix this problem on updating to Lollipop, and thus abandon Sony.

What I did is to follow the instructions on XperiaBlog:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashto...

These instructions are very accurate but you have to pay very attention, otherwise you'll lose your phone.

Note that will be needed a Desktop or notebook to update this way.

PS @uliwooly if you could forward this message to Sony's directors, I think will contribute positively.

Connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 2 to 3 hours > then repair it with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Right now the phone's state keeps changing from this screen to off state. Seems like the phone is booting indefinately.

Should I wait 3 hours?

I can see them now, just charge your phone for a while and start the update process all over
