You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

I do not have SD card i use only phone storage and when i plug it in pc it appears but no pictures or videos. Is there any other way to backup? by sony companion for example?

It is not recommended to backup so much data via PC companion.Use MTP connection mode,it should show up internal memory.

I changed the usb connection option on my Xperia z1 to MTP but when i blug in the usb cable the option icon disappears and comes up the usual phone storage again.

I backed up my photos and videos using Sony pc companion i repaired my phone and still vibration and front camera do not work like i have to send the phone back but unfortunately i have no warranty i guess i'll have to use it without vibration and front camera (it is probably broken).

Now i have another question please i want to know how to install apps dirrectly to SD card and move installed apps there. Android 4.4.4

You cannot move apps to SD,it is a restriction from google.

My internal storge is full while my SD card is eighty percent free inclouding that i moved all photos and videos there. is it possible that i install an app in my internal storage then move the android/obb/'folder' to SD card/android/obb/'folder' will that work? I also heared that if you root your android 4.4.4 you'll be able to move installed apps to SD card??

Only by rooting you will be able to do that.For rooting,look on XDA devs forum.
