It glows red when the charger is plugged in. Holding down the volume up and power buttons makes no difference.it also cannot enter flashmode.This problem happen after i use this phone until the battery all was gone.

Never let the battery fully discharge again.Connect to wall socket,charge for 1 hour,force shut down your device by pressing the little button on the back of your device.Turn it on normally after.

Your phone seems to be bricked.

Download Perfect Flash tool by WMSHUA. Download an ftf file for the latest version.
Open the flash tool.
Now press the power and volume down button together and hold them till the red light blinks again. Then leave the power button while still holding the volume down button. Perfect flash will detect your device.
Now go to flash option and select the downloaded ftf file. Then click on flash.
The phone will start updating and it might be slow. Once it reaches 97%, From 97% to 98% will take bout 20 mins but don't unplug the device.
Once the flash finishes, remove the usb and turn on your device. The first boot will take time but now you have your phone back.

I recommend using this firmware:
