Hi, I have dropped my phone and the gold pins where the battery connects have broken and fallen out, also needs a new screen. I rang Sony Ericsson and they can fix it, but I have flashed it with custom ram....Is there anyway to remove this otherwise they wouldnt repair it.
Is it possible to power up the phone without a battery?
Cheers
i couldnt turn on phone without battery via usb cable,
im not sure about reverting to save warranty - but your problems are hardware.
sorry about that.

Don't go to a SE service centre then. Go to some random GSM repair shop, they won't care about your ROM.

My hd has suddenly gone dead. The battery light does not turn on even if plugged in. I have tried to reset while plugged in but nothing happens. Connecting to the pc also doesn't help. Also tried to put it into bootloader without success. This does not feel good. Any ideas what might be the problem?
might be the usb connection. could be loose or bad
Have you tried to remove the battery, and put it back in..had a littel problem like (during unlock) that would turn on, removed the battery for 10s and put it back in and it turn on.

You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately

The problem is that I have installed a custom rom...and no way of reverting to original...does this void my guarantee?
Came back ...for now

I tried this and it magically came back. The strange thing is that I had been taking the battery out and putting it back in many times ...but perhaps I had not left the battery out long enough.
The battery also seems full which is kind of strange since I had been using the phone all day without charging.
In any case, I will leave it charging over night and report back tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!

You'd better reflash a stock ROM and keep it for a while until you are reasonably sure that it was just a case and won't happen again.

Hi again,
I am also trying to use the same soft, but no luck... could you please, eventually by PM, tell me the steps that worked for you?
And it can be in Portuguese... ; )
Thanks,

Dead again
Well...it did happen again. This morning I found it dead again while plugged in. Unfortunately, I did not reflash it to stock rom. I can now only hope that I get a second chance to reflash before sending it off. Any other ideas are welcome.......

Looks like my hd has to take a trip to the factory.
Quick question: since I didn't manage to revert to initial rom does anyone know what the policy is on repairing an htc with custom rom?
That is indeed unfortunate...
What custom ROM have you installed? Have you checked in the thread if someone else had similar issues? And have you installed any particular program?
Also, you had no such issues while you were on the original ROM?
If you have this type of issues, trying to flash a stock ROM without being sure about the cause for the issues might be a little dangerous... There would be, I suppose, the risk that something might go wrong during the flashing process. And you would risk having a lovely brick...
Regards,
P.
I have installed Panosha's light version. No one else seems to be having this problem. Is there a chance that the battery is faulty? Can I have it repaired even though it has a custom rom installed?
Hi,
It might be a problem with the battery, but you could only try this possibility if you used other HD... by the way you have been using the wall charger or the usb cable attached to the PC?
Regarding the possiblity of having it repaired, under warranty, it could depend on the repairer itself. At the limit they could refuse to repair it under warranty, because a non-official ROM has been installed, and, specially, because a non-original HSPL is in place... but they could also overlook this, or do not notice it.
I would make sure it can not be "ressurected" and properly flashed before going to HTC service.

P.

If you do, then please tell us. That's exactly what I was wondering.

I have tried several times to resurrect it without success. On one ocassion I had the power light turn on for about 2 seconds then dead again. The only thing I have not tried is to try another battery. I will probably find one by tomorrow to test. Otherwise on Friday it will head to the repair shop...and fingers crossed. I will let you know what the repair policy seems to be here in Greece.

Your phone is not broken!
Duttys ROM does not have this problem. I have had the same with Panosha's ROM and with Touch of HD ROM. The screen goes black and only removing the battery brings it back.

I wish this were the case, but even after removing the battery I cannot get it to function. Even when plugged into an outlet the power light does not turn on, so it's clearly more than a blank screen.
uhmm i still have warranty on my x1 nd nothingz really wrong with it, except i dropped it the other day from a 3 story balcony and the rails to which the screen opens r bent, the phone is in perfect working condition thoe.. should i just buy a new housing nd replace it myself or should i try and get one from my warranty?
..also i can't get my gps to work with google maps fron nrgz new rom.. can somebody tell me the configurations of Com ports on their settings plz? thnx in advance guys..
from my understanding as long as you are using custom rom you will not able to warranty anything.
Reflash back to stock rom and claim on warranty, its not like the custom Rom caused the physical damage
yep, but never ever mention that 3 storey drop (or any other drop) or your warranty is void for sure
check NRGZ thread for rom specifics
gl
yea i'm going to revert to stock rom and spl obviously but i thought warranty doesn't cover physical damage, what should i say when they ask whats wrong with the phone, i don't want to f*ck up because they'll make me pay for the replacement xperia if damage on mine is caused by me. last time i just told them the phone doesn't wake up from standby mode sometimes when it is left on over night. should i just open the phone and fix the rail of the sxreen so that it opens and then just tell them same excuse? or will that make no difference..
any ideass guyss?? :S
F.M.L!!!!!
I don't know what i did to deserve this, lol
A week ago or so i dropped my xperia down the balcony and now i can't slide the keyboard out since the rails or w/e u wanna call it are bent. So i kept my cool knowing that i have warranty, today i go to plug my phone in my pc so i can restore it to stock rom and spl and then bull**** to rogers to get a new one, BUT something is wrong with the phone's usb, this has never happened before, i plugged it in and the phone turned off, i unplugged it then turned it back on and now the usb jack of the phone is not working... i've tried different cords, even when i plug it in the charger the phone wont charge. So i know i'm F.*.C.K.E.D, unless there is a way to restore stock spl through memory card.
IS THERE??????? if there is i can just put my memory card in my mp3 player then connect it with pc and put the required stuff on there, my xperia still has around 47 percent battery left i turned it off ofcourse untill i resolve this problem. What do u suggest i do??
:O
Should i just flash my rom back to stock and send it in like that.. i know they can check if the spl is stock from boot up screen but the thing is my volume button doesnt work either xD, i dropped it down elevator shaft and it hit exactly the volume down button and broke the button, now only up works. So they can't check through boot up screen and they can't connect the phone through usb.. should i flash stock rom asap then turn the phone back off and send it in with approximately 20 percent battery by then..
What do u guys think..
Well you could try to flash your phone through SD and see if it works, but I But usually get a warning when battery is below 50 percent... But I use pc method, so maybe it will work for you.
And if it doesn't, you said you're phones hardware is damaged, so it shouldn't matter what kind of ROM you have in there am I right? They just need to fix the hardware.... But I am a dutch law student, I don't know which country you are from and what kind of rules apply to you
/showthread.php?t=445662
that's where instructions are for flashing your ROM but NOT your SPL. if you just need to get back to normal ROM then you can do that... then, send your phone back...
Sorry to hear that
But i think that the warranty does not cover an accidental cases. Except if phone destroyed itself alone (which is impossible), i don't see how they can accept this under warranty and send new phone for free.
If its physically damaged because of your fault (which unfortunatley in this case it is) they wont repair it under warranty, warrantys dont even cover acts of god! so unless you got insurance you'll have to make do or pay them to repair it for your probbably??? maybe ask them if you can pay, no idea how much it will cost
there is no call to open a second duplicte thread to the one you already opened on the same issue!
pls refrain from such redundant actions in the future and also choose rule conform titles describing your immediate problem
Mod. edit: merged
as simple as the title says, where can i find a (spare part) usb port for the xperia z. because mine is not working, i was charging the phone and then there was a short circuit on it, so now my xperia charges but not recognized by the pc!
It should still be under warranty, get it replaced/repaired
I cant cuz i live in sudan and we dont have any kind of warranty here, i bought it from dubai

You may want to take it to a repair shop. Maybe they can fix it without replacing the part.

thanks a lot, but I Dont think they can repair it without replacing the part possible cuz the pins in the middle are kinda melted together, good thing that i have the first and last pins still work so i can charge it, and thanks god I have rooted it and installed a recovery before all of this happened.

Just take it back to service center, if your device still under warranty
=)
Seems like "bad" SoC

Hi everyone! I bricked my Xperia Z1, I tried flashing stock rom, pc companion, Emma tool nothing works. I sent it to Sony repair centre hoping they can flash it back for me but they claim that it is a hardware problem and I need to replace the mainboard which is so expensive I could afford a new phone with it. Any solution? Appreciate your help!
The phone is able to boot, but not able to charge. I can see the Sony logo, then it boot over and over again but it cannot charge.

My Nokia x2 also stopped charging and I took it to a trusted shop and he fixed it.
When I got home I disassembled it and checked what he's done, he soldered a wire from the microusb plug to a resistor. Everything is working now.
I guess the connection from the plug to the resistor was cut from inside the mainboard so he made an external connection.
