Hi.
So I deleted gmail apk and put inverted gmail apk in system apps. Powered off the phone. Tried to power it back on, nothing happens.
Battery was almost full, about 95%. If I hold power button (tried for like 30secs) nothing happens. No LED, no vibrate, screen is black non-stop.
I also tried power& VOL-, power& VOL+, power & both volume... Nothing.
If I plug it into USB cable from PC, nothing. If I plug in the mains charger, nothing.
Tried holding VOL- (and later VOL+) and plug in USB cable from PC to get into download mode, nothing. Flashtool doesn't see the device.
What the HELL just happened? And what can I do?

JUST DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE SERVICE FROM SONY , CHOOSE YOUR DEVICE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION AND MAYBE IT WILL GET YOUR PHONE WORK .
UPDATE SERVICE LINK
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Tried Sony Update Service, also PC Companion and flashtool.. The phone appears to be completely dead, like the battery is empty or not even connected. I don't think it's possible that the battery is empty since it had 95% of power when I switched the phone off..
Now that I think about it, it might be possible, that I turned the phone off, didn't wait for it to vibrate and immediately tried to turn it back on.. Does this somehow put the phone in "hard off mode" or something? I mean I'm just guessing here, because I really have no idea what to do :crying:
Hold power button plus volume until u feel 3 vibrates either the phone will come back on or at least u should be able to connect it to the pc opinion.

if your computer does not recognize your phone or vice versa your phone is hard brick (reinstall sony driver just to be sure), no other way to revive it unless you can get into recovery.
I had the same problem this morning. Itwas on charge overnight from the GPO and this morning, Nothing.
I tried two things. One was the update as suggested here (which is happening as I speak) and the other was to hold the button and the lower volume switch. I was doing these concurrently, with it plugged into my laptop and something worked. THANKFULLY.
I only got the phone about three weeks ago and this is the second time something like this has happened. First time it was totally dead and I had it swapped one for one. Worst part was I had spent some time updating my phone list etc which was subsequently lost (making me think I was working on my phone memory not the sim....)
I've just updated my NFC firmware, whatever that is, and it has gone into sleep mode. But at least it's working.
My longwinded explanation preceeds a short question.
Is this a common occurence with the Xperia Z?
My wife has exactly the same model only exception being hers is white, mine black. She has had no probs. Knew I shoulda gone the white one.

you have to wait at least 30 sec until you switch it on .leave the phone on the charger atleast for 3 hours try to uninstall and reinstall sony drivers . and then try to flash a stock rom using a flash tool
OK, the phone has been charging overnight (no led indication, charger was cold, so was the phone, so I doubt it's even been charging) about 10 hours. Reinstalled drivers, PC Companion, Update service and flashtool.
I tried these 4 options with 3 different variables (for 12 total combinations) 30 seconds each.
1) No cables connected
2) Mains charger connected
3) USB cable from PC connected:
hold [PWR] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL-] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL+] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL-] + [VOL+] 30 secs
After that, I also tried connecting the phone to USB cable to PC, each time with only 1 open program. First with flastool, then PC Companion, then Update Service with 3 different variables (for a total of 9 combinations). 30 seconds each:
without pressing/holding any buttons
hold [VOL+] while connecting
hold [VOL-] while connecting
Also tried a different USB port and cable, but it's 100% not the PC/drivers/USB cable.
No matter what I tried, nothing happened. Screen on the phone is dead all the time, LED light is dead, no vibrations, no sounds, nothing. Also when trying the PC connected options, no sounds, indications of drivers installing/failing, no activity in my computer, NOTHING on PC.
Are there any more options to try? Or must I send the phone in for repair?
And once again, does anyone know if turning off the phone and NOT waiting for it to vibrate and immediatelly trying to turn it back ON, somehow causes this "dead phone"?
No more ideas? Am I the first one to have this issue?

Seems like you have tried every known possible way to revive it, I think its time you sent it to Sony to have it fixed... I doubt anyone else can help you from here... Good luck.

I'm afraid to send it because I rooted the phone and my country service centres are known to deny warranty repairs for pretty much any reason they can find.. Sometimes they even make up something.. That's why I was hoping I could somehow fix it.. But yeah, seems there is no way I can do it, so I will have to send it in. Will report what happened.
To be fair, if it wont show on computer or boot up, short of them fixing it then checking, there is no way for them to see it has been rooted?
Xperia Z
That should be correct, but thats exactly what im afraid of. Lets say the battery died for instance. They replace it boot up the phone see its rooted and send me a bill. I hope this wont happen, we shall see..

Pff, you think technicians are gonna bother opening superuser app to check for root?
I sure hope they wont. Phone has been picked up by delivery service today, that means it will arrive in repair centre by friday, and that means they will start looking at it next week maybe wednesday. Then before they figure out whats wrong, order parts and all, about 2-3 weeks and I can report what was wrong.
Got the phone back today. No idea what they did, no detailed description only "reset of program module SL4". Anyways, phone is working, I didn't have to pay anything, so all is good!:angel:

Hi everyone.
My SP doesn't want to turn on anymore for a unknown reason. When plugging it to the pc\charger the red led appears and then disappears. Non of the tips (power + vol. plus, power + vol. minus) doesn't work.
Please, help. If your suggestion will help, I'll pay you.

How did this happen?? Try this pull out the back panel and press the reset button with a pin and hold the power button and see what happens
Also you may try this install Sony PC companion This will install all the correct drivers for the phone then take usb cord Holding volume Down And Plug it to the phone. If all goes well the led at the bottom should glow green
I had a similar issue and after 4 days of trying all what i could find out in XDA for bricked Xperia phones my SP is back alive.
For me it happened during flashing (with Flashtool 0.9.11) the stock firmware .257 with to less battery power.
Short Info to my phone when it happened
Sony Xperia SP C5303
Kernel: Dooms v01 (i do not think that this was the problem!)
Bootloader: unlocked
Stock firmware from C5302 version .284
System: deodexed and rooted
When i say flashing i did it always with flashtool because PC Companion and SUS did not recognize my phone at all (with locked bootloader).
My SP was behaving as following.
- When i put the wall charger on the phone nothing happened no lights nothing same if plugged in to the computer.
- If i pressed the power button unconnected the LED flashed red 3 times all the time,
after a while nothing happened anymore (which gave me the indication that the battery is completely empty)
- If i pressed the power button continuous during charging (wall/computer) the red light turned on until i released the power button.
When pressing the Power button long enough during i was connected to the computer the green light turned on and i was in flash mode.
But only for maximum 2 min. This was enough to flash all firmware parts except the system.sin (at ~80 % phone disconnected).
And this was the problem my SP stayed dead.
Before someone asks, standard connecting while pressing the volume down for flash mode or volume up for fastboot mode didn't work.
Now i tryed all:
- Left the phone on the wall charger without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the computer without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the wall charger/computer while pressing the power button continuous (did it with a tape) -> nothing except that it went in flash mode and red light again all the time
Now my last try (i was reading this in an X10 thread):
I plugged the phone more than 7 hours to the computer while pressing the volume down button continuously (again taped).
Next morning it first looked like that this also did not work.
But as i disconnected the phone from the computer and plugged in again the red light stayed on.
Ok give it a try i thought and i put the phone to my wall charger for 1 hour or so also here the red light was glowing continuous now.
And yeah i could connect the phone to the computer in the normal way volume down than usb and i was in flash mode.
I was now able to flash the complete stock firmware. After again putting the phone to the wall charger for 1 hour the system was booting :victory: .
And now i saw the problem battery charge in status bar showed 1 % but the firmware start up check showed 55 % .
I remember that i did wipe the battery stats in recovery before all that happened.
No idea if this caused the problem.
However i could now charge my phone and it is still alive relocked and on stock.
Hope this helped and good luck.
To prevent other people from this bad situation i tried to remember exactly what caused the drain of the battery to 0%.
Battery was on 25% at start. (I know this was stupid, i was too impatient as dooms v16 and cwm for locked bootloaders were released :silly
1.I started with trying to update my mobile to stock with PC Companion and SUS,
without thinking about that this will not work with unlocked bootloader. -> first battery drain
2. Got stock FTF for .257 (c5303) and wanted to flash it which did not work got errors always.
My SP was connected flashmode on my notebook a long time while i was trying to fix that (reading XDA, driver config etc).
Several times tried to flash without success.
-> drain, drain and more battery drain not thinking about that i started with only 25%.
3. Gave up on my notebook and connected my phone to the Desktop PC (here the config was ok i knew that from flashing before on that computer).
Meanwhile i assume that my battery was already close to completely empty.
As the flash of the FTF (all parts) started my phone turned off and was "dead", i do not remember on which sin it turned off.
The whole time 1. 2. 3. i never booted i always stayed disconnected or in flashmode.
And than the mess began which i posted in my previous post.
So my SP is officially dead. Need to replace to motherboard.

You should keep pressing that button till your phone's screen goes black and vibrates 3 times if it doesn't do that then either the mobo is dead or the button is broken!
well... that's why I kinda hate sony why not do like most makes do (Like iphone, htc, samsung etc just long press the power button to reset the damn thing! It gets really annoying to keep pulling my case and back cover off and then putting a pencil in that tiny hole in public :/)

watch?v=daNue2RsUbY ( video of my phone with the fading logo )
had the same problem with mines ( i manage to record this fading logo part )
hours later after the record my phone won't even turn on and it only shows that red light popping up when i press the power button
i brought it to sony's service center here and they replaced the battery, that managed to fix it <3
For me pressing the back off button and volume + button force it to fastboot mode. From there just flash a kernel and it is fixed.
which kernel???
Hello all!
it is 3 days now.. i have read all the forum but all the things i have read did not solve my issue.
my phone just keeps on showing the red led light when i plug it to the wall charger and also into the computer usb.
i have tried the following with the following results:
1) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power for one vibration (with wall charger connected) and each time the phone vibrates, led switches of the then reswitches on red
2) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power (long hold 3 vibrations) and i get the same result as 1
3) tried to long press VOL- and Power as suggested on the sony forum for 8 seconds, leave it to charge for a few hours and then press VOL+ and Power but nothing changes.
When the phone is not attached to the wall and i try to start it i can hear it vibrate one but nothing else happens.
When i try to connect it to PC Companion to format it i just can't get the pc to recognize it.
Any help please?
I really need to resolve this as soon as i can because it is my main phone
Thanks
Keep your phone on the charger for at least 24 hours WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!
After that use flashtool to flash a new ftf
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
just tried a 28hour without interruption recharge.. i had the red led on all the time but the phone doesn't yet want to switch on.
i have tried removing the battery.. putting it in.. normal switching on.. just vibrates and nothing is seen on screen
also tried to volume up + power till it vibrates but nothing.
cannot connect to the pc btw.. it doesn't seem to see any new device attached
anyway
It can be battery or hardware problem so I would suggest you to take it to warranty service center.
Water damage...
Happens.
Dry your phone.
Inside.
How can you take the battery out???? You have a c6603 yeah??? Virtually impossible to take the the battery out!!! either take it to sony repair centre ,flash with flashtool,repair using either sus or pc companion!! Failing that,don't bother to try to mod ur phone because you obviously have no idea Mate!!
It's quite easy to take out your battery...
All you need is a hairdryer. aim it at the backglass for a while and it'll let loose without to much trouble. It can cost you your water proofness and definitely your warranty though. So I would never advice someone to do it.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ok since i was tired of not getting no where with all the suggestions i received i then moved towards another method..
i so opened the phone.. took off the battery.. solder wired it to an external power charger i have and charged both on my batteries to full.. (old battery and new one)
i then placed the battery in phone and:
when i power the device it vibrates and screen remains black with no red led
when i volume up + power the devices the stay stays black but the red led magically appears..
what can i do now? knowing that the battery is FULL and that the problem should not be that anymore
Remove battery again so your phone is definitely off, re-insert your battery (don't turn it on) and connect to your pc in fastboot mode. Flash stock kernel and try to boot. If that doesn't work shut your phone down again, and than just flash firmware using flashtool.

and when I tried turning it back on again, nothing happened. The boot loader is locked and neither the phone has ever been rooted. I've tried charging it for 24 hours nothing happened, I tried the hard reset (power + volume up button) nothing happened. I've also opened its back cover and took out its battery but still nothing happened. Please help. Can I enter the phone via sdk tool kit

You shouldn't have opened the phone.... this voids your warranty.... I hope you glued it back on correctly....
Try to put a rubberband across the device, so that the power button AND vol up are pressed permamently.
If this doesn't work and you can't see that it was opened send it to sony for repair

Hold volume Up while connecting the phone to your pc. When the led turns blue you may get a chance to do some work.

Okay I'll try that but I don't think that's going to work since it's not charging or doing anything. you know. The blue LED is not coming on either. And we dont have sony warranty here in Pakistan, so yeah. Lol! And even connecting the cable with the computer does not help recognize the device.

This post is just to show you my experience whit the xperia z sudden death and the only solution who worked for me.
A friend bought an xperia z, and he faced of sudden death, 4 month later. This appear when the phone shuts down whit 0% battery and the phone NEVER wake up, no led, nothing.
- I put the phone on charge 24h/24h ... nothing happen.
- I test all combination of hardware button and I've got a blister on my hand ... nothing happen.
He can't send back in warranty because i root and instal omni rom.
And i don't have 3zx box for perhaps wake up the phone.
My only way is open the phone... when the phone's open i unplug the battery and i wait one hour, after this i connect via usb the phone to my pc (whit the battery unplug!) and miracle the phone boot on bootloader whit the blue led. Then i disconnect the phone to pc, i plug the battery and i connect the phone via usb on my pc and ... the phone boot normally whit red led and stay in charge. He lost waterproof but the phone still alive(since 3 month) without any problem:victory:.
It's a shame, for me this seem's to be a badly planned obsolescence ...
It seems that my z1 has just given up on life.
I was checking my gmail and the phone switched off. It wouldn't switch on so I tried vol-up and power, it vibrated but did nothing.
Now absolutely nothing will make it show any signs of life, it seems to be completely dead which is weird. No LEDs or vibrations at all, so I guess I'll be returning it :crying:

I get 3 vibrations when holding the reset button next to the SIM tray, but nothing else.
Strange. Vol down and power would reset the phone?

I had the same issue your having with my rooted Samsung s4. I couldn't get anything. Bought secondary battery... Son took into verizon came on briefly. My programming USB cable rusted out, had to buy a new jib. That didn't work. I just persevered, I found life when I put in the battery and started hitting the power button repeatedly, 15-20 times
Finally it would turn on, used the jib got it into download mode and flashed the ROM with odin again. Still had some issues so I did a reset then re flashed again, re rooted and started loading programs.
Still not sure if it was/is the power button or system change I made with exposed or other such toolت.
Also now using button savior as a preventative measure. As an added bonus I have 3 batteries and a stand alone battery charger.
Please update your thread as status changes. Hope you get it working.

(knows just enuf to brick it)
Rooted S4 MDK I545 stock 4.2.2
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
my z1 2 hours ago had died, I solved by connecting it to flashtool with the volume down pressed. I have version .157
I would think faulty battery, had same issue with old s2
No idea what the problem could be, perhaps moisture got into the headphone jack or something and made its way into the phone.
As I said, when I help vol+ and power it would vibrate 3 times to indicate power off however it would show no signs of life when turning it on.
Flashtool wouldn't recognise it nor would PC Companion.
I sent it away to Sony to repair last week - it's currently still with the technician. I'll update the thread as the repair progresses to let you know the outcome! Hopefully it will be a manufacturing error and I won't have to pay for a repair.
I recognize this problem in a slightly different form.
When my battery is completely dead and I try to charge it and turn it on it won't. It gives me the same three vibrations. I let it charge on the fast charger the whole night. Nothing. (0% charge, light stays red all night long.)
Then I reset it (red dot next to SIMtray) (which does nothing, no vibrations) but it works if not connected to the charger (it only vibrates then)
After reset I try to charge it and it goes automatically on but when it goes on it stops charging after splash screen and turns off and stops charging.
Then it's just trial and error. Reset, no reset, manual turn on, turn off, reset with USB connected, without and eventually it charges and I can turn it on.
After that it works fine.
Hey guys,
I need your help!
My Sony Xperia SP (C5303) wont start. It crashed while I was using it. Display faded and afterwards I am not able to turn it on.
I searched a lot but havent found anything useful to my problem. I found these articles(well more, but those are the most comprehensive ones):
Article 1 on xda
Article 2 on sonymobile
I tried everything what was mentioned in those articles. Nothing helped. Honestly I am a bit rusty with toying with my phone. I have been in to it on collage, but last few years I settled with what I installed back then ( eXistenz Ultra 3.0.0 I guess or similar version)
When I am trying to charge it red light is on. After a while (15 mins or so) red light disappear. When the phone is at least a bit charged and I try to turn it on it flashes red three times (not every time).
When I plug it in the computer while having Flashtool open it goes like this:
22/055/2015 13:55:27 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
22/055/2015 13:55:27 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
22/055/2015 13:55:28 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/055/2015 13:55:32 - INFO - Selected null
22/055/2015 13:55:32 - INFO - Flash canceled
I guess that is all I know now about the problem.
Please help
PS: I tried the turn off button in the back ( even holding it for like a minute )
From the above info i can only make out that your device is unable to connect to flashtool. Use USB cable of good quality.
You also try reinstalling flashtool

I installed Flashtool v 0.9.18.5, used three different USB cables (including sony original) still the same log. I do not think problem is in this
Can I offer some more specific information? Honestly I do not how else describe my fatal problem
Seems that your battery is completely discharged or you have drivers problem
Here you are step by step:
1- Connect your phone to wall socket and let it charge for 1 or 2 hours
2- After that force shutdown by pressing back reset button till vibrate three times.. Do not turn on the phone
3- Uninstall flashtool and any xperia flashing tools or drivers
4- Download and install PC companion from here:
http://www-support-downloads.sonymo...nloads/PC Companion/Sony PC Companion_Web.exe
5- Open PC Companion program and connect your phone to PC via USB cable while pressing your phone Volume down key
(You should hear windows new hardware plugged sound and your phone led will light with green)
6- follow PCC wizard to repair your phone
Hey, thanks for advice, OsGhaly.
Sadly I already did this - charged my phone from wall socket - pressed the back reset button (hold it) - nothing..no vibrations, nothing
Update: I have this problem for 2 weeks ( using another phone meanwhile), now I tried just for sake to charge it again (I tried everything 14 days ago ) after like 30 minutes it actually kinda turned on - it booted into the screen with charging battery. I was like whooah So I tried to turn it on. During loading graphics got messy again and screen blurred off. An everything is as it was. Broken.
Seems to me it somehow restarted over that 14 days (battery drained ?) and thanks to the fact that battery was depleted it kinda turned on. I guess it was a mistake to try turn it on immediately. I should have tried to reinstall the phone in that battery charging screen I guess. ¨So maybe I should just wait few days to let the battery drain again a try this ? Do not know :-/
But again what u have described I tried 14 days ago, did not work sadly.

Why u want to wait? U can simple press and hold the reset button for 8 sec or so till it makes 3 vibrations consecutively. After that charge your phone for 1h and then without booting it flash stock ftf via flashtool
When you unplug the back of the phone you have a yellow power off.
Plug your usb, push the off and power + and release when blue led appeare.
If don't work push long time (1mn) the off and retry

Nothing.
Rom is eXistenz 3.0.0
here is the thread with that rom:

I am not actually sure which kernel it is, since in the info it says something else than in installation guide. So please check for yourself because I could give you a wrong information
Still no progress. Please help

eXistenZ uses stock kernel. I think you should try flashing your SP through some other PC.
Either your battery is damaged or USB socket problem
Nope, using another pc did not help. So I am still stuck with bricked phone. I would like to quote the article I linked in the first post because it exactly describes my problem. But in that article wasnt found a helpful solution either.
"...When I charge it, the red light on the bottom just comes and goes. Stays on for a few minutes, then goes off for a few minutes. I let it charge for almost 6 hours like this and nothing has happened. When I plug the phone into my PC you hear the USB connected sound, but right after you hear the disconnected sound, and nothing shows up in device manager. I tried the Vol+ and Power button combo and nothing happens. I tried holding the reset button on the back for 5-10 seconds and nothing happens. I get no vibrations at all. The phone is not detected in any program like SUS, Flashtool, or PC companion. Some times when I press the power button I get 2 red short flashes, I have no idea what this means as it's not consistent, and only happens every once in a while.... "
I have my phone in warranty but my display is cracked a bit and I not original software is installed on the device so I am not sure if warranty wasnt voided by those things. Please help.

Since u have not unlocked your bootloader you are still in warranty. Now only service center can repair ur phone. Dont tell them u have installed a custom rom or rooted ur device if u want to claim warranty.
