Hello.
My phone was in my pocket when I entered a beach. I realized it, I ran out of the beach, I took it out, but it had absorbed some water.
Stupidly, I tried to turn it on. It started with an unending vibration. For 3 tried, the same vibration occurred.
Then, it stopped.
I separated both the battery and the circuit board.
I tried turning it on once in a while. It didn't work.
So, I'm probably going to have to give the mobile to the Service Center.
But, will they find out if the mobile has it's bootloader locked/unlocked when the mobile is so screwed?
And, if so, how can I relock it?
Thank You.

I have no idea dude
but if your phone can turning on u can relock it with s1 tool..
u can check if the flash-modes working (turn off phone and press back button while plug in to PC )
hope can help your prob
Actually, if your phone couldn't be turned on, you don't need to worry about this because they can't check your phone if the phone's bootloader is unlocked.
And i'm sure that the phone will not turn on again
but there sure can find that it was damaged due to water and you are out of warranty then. they don't cover physical damages due to user's mistake.

Either way if you choose to repair it you will pay
Thank you.
I'll have to decide b/w paying for repair and buying a new mobile, the latter doesn't look good.

If you want my opinion, buy a new phone.
Xperia tipo:thumbup:
Price Slightly more than X8 but awesome!
:flipoff2: DEVILS NEVER CRY:flipoff2:
Tipo is actually good. Surprisingly it can run ICS smooth with only a 800 MHz processor.
It is a good alternative to X8 with almost the same price. And, it will depend on the support on xda !
Anyway, will decide.
Thanks a lot !
I've heard that if you keep you phone in a bowl of dry rice for a few days , the rice absorbs water and the phone gets fixed. Sounds silly , but you could give it a try. :silly:

I did give it a try.
I probably screwed it up more worse than I imagined !
Is microwaving a mobile phone a good idea?

But I think It was on when it fell in water or the water was inside when op tried to ON it & the motherboard must have been short circuited due to water..
It'll blast inside microwave
Never put metal in a microwave!

Yeah, I did try to turn it on too quick. The vibrating sound may be the reason for a short circuit.
Yup, music to the ears..or that's what passes for music these days!
Hey, i was taking some under water photos during my weekend trip. All my ports were closed before i put my mobile in the water. Suddenly my camera app stopped working & booted in to safe mode. I was sure it was less than 30mins & as soon as i came out of the water i noticed all my ports changed in to red color. After a few hours the phone stopped working & i tried to draining the water with rice method. It's been 48years still my phone is not turning on.
When i connect it to a pc/charger, it does turn on for few secs with the red led & turns off with 3vibrations.
Nothing works, except that. I guess it is hard bricked. Is there any solution to fix my phone or back my data?
Regards
Let the phone dry just in case there is still water in it, try it after the next day and see what happens.

Gonna do that now Luckily i have a spare xZ at the moment
Update: Got my mobile back from the service center. They told me there was a drop of water behind the power button, that caused the reboot & advised not to take under water photos. Also i had to pay for the service since it doesn't come under warranty.

You used your power button as a shutter while taking photo under water?

XZ Waterproofing
Hello bro's, Just do take note that the rubbers on the flaps degrades as used. If one uses the power flap and the earphone flap often, then the waterproofing will be less and less reliable.
Though i have used this quite a number of times under water before 1 meter, i used it while it's still a few months old, but i dare not use it after long use.
Power button, if you want it prolonged, use a software such as SCREEN OFF AND LOCK on play store. It will pro-long the button's maximum time before failure. (MTBF)

Glad I read this thread. I had a feeling that using buttons as a shutter wasn't a good idea whilst underwater. I think Sony need to reiterate this is water RESISTANT, not water proof.

That's a very good point to make, will add that to the OP of my resource thread. Might be worth trying to modify the ports with some tape to give a tighter seal, especially if you're one of these People who insist on doing what's recommended not to or push the boundaries of a devices required limits.
The most amount of water my Z has seen so far is a few splashes of rain and wouldn't dream of sticking it in a glass of water to show off or actually take it into a swimming pool or the sea just because the IP rating says I should in theory be able to.
It's hard to have sympathy for some People.
I think the only way is to bring it down to sony service centre

Quickly put your phone in a bag of rice. Wait at least 1x24 hours.
I've done this before, and only my back light is dead. Camera etc still works though. I hope yours will be OK.

What kind of help do you need?
It fell into water. There are many things that could have been damaged, if it isn't working then there isn't anything you can do.
Just get her a new 20$ dumb-phone.

Jup i was thinking it was lost forever but it really worked after that
The first thing you should avoid after such accident is avoiding charging your phone..
as it may harm your mother board
Actually last week mistakenly while washing my pant i forgot to remove the k3 note. It was in the washing machine for around half an hour. I took at the local service center to remove the water content. since last 5 days he tried to turn it ON, but its not turning ON.
The problem is,
-Developer mode is not activated,
-Debugging mode is not turned ON,
-Not rooted yet, No CWM.
-Its not charging when connected to charger.
-(IMP) Only when i connect it to PC, it once connects and again disconnects.
Could anyone please help me in this.....
It doesn't matter that if ur device is rooted or not or developer mode is on or not .. Just think How would it work anyway after it was in washing machine for half an hour ??? If customer care can't repair it then ur device is dead !!! There's no other way except buying new one and throwing this one in junkyard.. Even Sony/Motorola which make waterproof phones also say to their customers that there is certain limit for their phones been taken under water that's why there are IP certifications for parameters of depth and time !!! And k3 note is not even water proof so how can u expect that it shud work after been dropped in water ...

I posted in the grp because, the mobile is detecting by the PC, that means it has some life left. So i thought they may be some change of getting it ON.
