Help Me!!! Black Window in Galaxy Tab P7510

i´ve got my brand new galaxy tab P7510 and after two day and swiching it down, black screen appears. Cant get it to start and i tried to charge it and wait for several hour but nothing happens. When i connect it to the pc it ask me for atx drivers wich ive already installed, but now i dont know what to do.
First i know i have to wait for samfirware to release the firmware for my tab i suppose and then flash it win odin i guess.
Is this the correct way or should i send it inmeately to samsung´s support service.
The main problem for me is that i live abroad and it would be very difficult to send it to usa.
thank you.

Have u tried recovery mode? On the 7" you press and hold in vol-up while pressing and holding in power, release the buttons when you se Samsung logo...but maybe you don't se that at all? But if you can enter recovery try a factory reset, it will be wiped.
Are you sure its off? maybe it has hanged and stopped responding to input. Try to hold in power button several secounds to force power off.
btw you should post questions in q&a...
/qsec

why do people keep on posting at the wrong thread? we need moderators intervention here.

all of these done, no signal from the table, with power + volume nothing at all, and holding power does nothing, no logo appears, always blackscreened. Sorry to post in this forum but as i saw how to unbrick tutorial here i though it was the correct place. Beg administrator to move to correct one
thank you

If you have provided this info in the first post i wouldn't have bother to suggest things that you already have tried.
I guess there is no battery animation when you put the changer in?
If so i believe you have a genuine brick.
But it is a bit strange your pc reacts when you plug it in tho...
Did all this happen without you flashing anything thru odin or cwm?
You just turned it off and then i won't start anymore?
One thing i would try is to remove the battery and put it in again, but will for sure void any warranty.
Read this "coma brick" did you charge with ac for several hours?

Never tried to do anything with the tab. Just load apk and nothing more. I charged it for several hours with two different charges and Pluged into Pc. Nothing works. I suppose it is really broken but what its strange is that Pc recognizes it

i think the nearest Samsung service Center will solve this for you . i advice you to check with them
note : they will think that you flashed something , even though you didn't . but its ok if you still under the warranty , maybe it takes 3 weeks to 4 though

if you hold vol down and power, can you get into download mode? it's an android dude with a shovel. if you can do that, then search the forums for your specific hardware files, and use heimdall or odin to flash them.

No way it doesnt start anything only black window. No logo no shovel nothing at all. Tried all the combinations and the only thing I can do is connect it to the Pc and it ask me for apx drivers which I've already installed but nothing to do with it. Also the firmware at samfirmware won't be available till next week, then I'll try to reflash if it is possible. About the service here in Spain they don't want even touch it, told me to send it to USA cos they say they can't get usa firmware and they only take care of product bought in Spain it stinks. And I offered the guy to pay for it even out of warranty but they don't want to mess with it. There's another guy in other forum that has the same problem with same tab. But still find no solution. I should have bought a ****... iPad at least if it crashes can be recovered easily. If this is a software problem I would have to send it there several times which is very expensive

How long have you held the power button? I had a similar issue this morning on my p1010 and I just held the.power button for maybe a minute and it restarted. It takes a long time when holding the button.
I'm new to the tab so don't shoot me if this is something you already tried.

Can anyone one expert tell me if the solution on this post will work for me

I think you have a dead screen or lcd inverter, or dead back light. Definetely a warranty issue.
Take the tab out in bright sun and try the power buttons - maybe you can see the screen change?

Same Thing
I had the same thing happen.
No combination of buttons seems to bring life to the tablet. i'm going to download the driver now and see if I can get into adb to try to reset it.
I was watching a video, the video got really fuzzy, then the tablet froze up. I held down power to power it down and that is the last time it was on. Never flashed or rooted.

Follow every step but got stuck when it trying to flash and stop at 20% just like when I update using LG software. Order new battery hope fixing the problem. My first LG android phone can't return bought it on craigslist

Hopefully the battery will help...good news is if you can connect and start the flash each time it is not bricked...i have not seen this problem posted before so doubt it is hardware...does adb see it...if so i would try to wipe system and data and reflash...i would also pull sim and sd card before flash to see if that helps ?

Replace the battery with new and same problem, my phone doesn't even read my AT&T sim card.
Any button that I can do hard reset?

I had this same problem is your phone not turning on or just not downloading the update? I bricked my phone installing the update and it can be fixed but if you having problems with the connection during update you gotta keep trying it will go through. If it wont turn on at all there is a fix.

This is the problem:
1. I bought new phone on Craigslist running 2.2 and everything working.
2. Connect to PC and set up driver, software etc.. there is an update so I did.
3. Got stuck about 17-20% and message disconnect and re-reconnect etc.. and I did.
4. Ever since I can't t urn it on unless connect to a charger.
5. I will not read SIM card and kept saying reorganized when check on setting and mobile network.
I am stuck here cause tried so many time. Also, phone turn off with full battery charge but next morning when I turn on completely drained. I think software screw up some how during the initial upgrade. Just don't know how to fix it

OK try this take your battery out and plug it into your computer and hold the volume down key until you hear or see your computer recognize it. It should beep a couple times. Be sure to leave your phone off this whole time. Open up your LG support tool. Once it says your connected open the customer support tab. Click on "Recovery Phone." Enter your phones info and click the check button. It should take you through the steps from there. I had the same problem and had also bought it from craigslist. The good news is even if this doesn't fix it, your phone is less than a year old and can be sent to LG for a fix or they'll send you a refurbished phone. They will want a reciept but if you don't have it just tell them you tossed it. Same for the box if you don't have that. They will do it just start getting angry if they give you the run around. I was freaking out just like you LOL. I couldn't find anything on the web and the LG lady was just as stumped as me... I just happened to try this before I sent it in and it worked. Let me know if you have any luck.

As far as the update goes I eventually did get it to work. Just keep trying. I plugged it in to try again one time and it said my phone was already updated. I went and checked and sure enough it was. The visual change isn't dramatic your signal bars turn green and you get some more bloatware like a 3d game converter. The reason for this is the phone has a custom LG UI and will not adopt the gingerbread UI. Don't freak a lot of people insist its not GB but it is. There is a lot more to a OS than the user interface.

Warranty thru LG or at&t? You mind give a little more. I didn't even know LG has a warranty in US?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

The warranty is through LG at&t wont do anything for you cause they will know you got it off CL. You'll need your imei and your s/n from under your battery. I wouldn't tell them you got it off CL. The only way this wont work is if the previous owner registered the phone with lg which is unlikely since they didn't even have the GB update. Call 18002430000. Again do not tell them you got it from CL. The phone is under a year old and they will do it for you. If it has to be told that it isn't yours say you had a step brother or friend give it to you. They will want a reciept but you can tell them you tossed it all and your imei Ans s/n will be enough. Also tell them it happened using their support tool. Good luck.

I got panic and it's in local shop if they can repair it but will take it back and try. Thanks.. at least someone here tried to help me... the link flash back to stock ROM didn't work for down load so I can flash it. I even root and flash custom ROM still didn't work now I want to flash it back to stock... if you can just help me a little please

download mode: I got a little confused cause someone told me take battery out connect phone to PC and put battery back. Yours didn't mention anything about put battery back in

Yeah when I did mine it wouldn't turn on at all even when it was plugged in so I think i left my battery in and did it bc it wouldn't respond to anything. I would try to get it to recognize with the battery in but if it turns on after you do plug it in then it will need to be out. You can try to put the battery back in after the computer and the LG support tool recognizes your phone bc after it gets done it reboots. I'm not sure if the battery is needed for it to work but mine was in but you can try it multiple times with it in and out. I freaked out too I had just bought the phone off CL and plugged it in to update and it had the connection failure a couple of times and then poof nothing no vibration no boot screen nothing. The LG people tried getting me to do a hard reset and when that wouldn't work she told me I would have to send it in and that it was still under the manufacturers warranty. I was desperate to say the least so I tried all kinds of combinations. The key is to get your pc to recognize your phone while it is off. If you can do that with the battery in I would try it that way first. If you don't have the box you will need to copy down the phones info, (IMEI and S/N) which is under the battery, for the recovery phone part of the support tool. It worked for me so I hope you have some luck with it. Also I would consider waiting until the ghost call thing gets fixed before you go to gingerbread. If I had known I would have stayed with froyo until they fixed it.

Ok I tried everything and it doesn't work. I now need to flash back to stock rOM using recovery. I need the file Thrill Stock ROM zip file and the link on forum about flash back to stock no longer working

I had the same thing happen to me. U hold down "volume down" and power button, when the phone is off and that will put it into android dfu mode. Now select factory reset and Press menu button.

Volume down for recovery and so on. Volume up for download from tool.
If your doing the recovery method that TheDarkLestat setup then your gonna need to do the software setup and drivers step by step. Assuming you have done that. Remove the battery then plug the USB in and quickly hold down the pwr, and vol UP till it vibrates then let go. Start the loader and place the battery back in while its doing its thing . Then don't touch it till its done.
Only simply way I can think of to repair a soft bricked thrill. As long as it loads to recovery or download then our phone Is fixable. You might be able to politely ask TDL to remote in and provide a fix. He was doing that for a lot of us for a while. Though if your not gonna donate for his time then don't bother lol.

[Q] Screen not working after updating from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2

I updated my phone just recently and came across this major issue.
I used Sony's own tools for updating that leaves two options "Sony Companion" and "Sony Update Service".
Both giving the same results for my phone, even a full reinstall doesn't work.
When done updating you set your Xperia ZR back on as the software says.
It starts normally showing the Sony logo, Xperia logo and some Xperia animations.
When it gets to the lock screen and asks for your pin code to unlock your sim-card everything is fine.
Here it comes.
When setting your screen in standby and back on the touchscreen function is not working anymore.
Other buttons are working fine (power, volume, photo)
I talked to a Sony employee and he came to the conclusion that it's a Hardware defect, that sounds to me like a bad excuse.
The screen works the first time but not the second time it's turned on.
Looks to me like a software problem.
Are any others of you experiencing this problem with the Xperia ZR? Please, let me know below!
I don't have a solution yet or if you have a solution, let us/me know down here.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like the firmwarepart with drivers four the touchscreen didn't bite. If it's anything like the 4.2.1-4.2.2 in HTC that part needs to get through.
Is there any way of restarting the process through companion?
Skickat från min HTC One via Tapatalk 2

A temporarily solution is to touch the screen when pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Example: Touch with your left index finger on the screen and press power shortly as you normally do, then move your index finger over the screen.
But you have to do this every time you turn on the screen!

No, I haven't tried that yet, because I'm not familiar with flashtool.

It's easy.
1. Do a search for flashtool and download the exe file.
2. Install it. Install the latest drivers by going to the install drivers menu in the program.
3. Download the ftf file on the android development section.
4. Save it in the c drive folder for flashtool-->>firmware
5. Press the big flash (lightning symbol)
6. Chose flash mode
7. Your firmware should show up. Choose the C5503 firmware.
8. It will tell you to turn off your phone and while plugging in, keep the back button pressed. Since the zr doesn't have a back button, hold the volume down button.
9. It should do everything automatically. You'll be on a new os. Reboot and you're done.

I'll try that :fingers-crossed:
Did you also try the update to 4.2.2?
It's still bugging me that they released it and it didn't work. (for my Sony Xperia ZR at least)

Great it worked!
I took flashtool from androxyde.github.io and I also took the firmware from there.
For me the first 3 times flashing went wrong, but it's nothing to worry about just reconnect the USB while pressing volume-down button and retry.
So I am now back to android 4.1.2 and the screen is working fine without any problems.
Thanks djpeesh!

I have the same problem but I don't want to revert to 4.1.2 is there another workaround? This is really stupid SONY says that an app can cause this but there is pretty much nothing on my device. I did a hard reset and it didn't help. I'll try something else to see if I can avoid the downgrade. I think everything started when I activated debugging mode.

Same happens with mine.At times I am not able to accept phones calls by sliding. i have to press the power button several times to switch off and on the screen and then it functions again

I tried flashing 4.2.2 russian rom and it didn't work, tried 4.1.2 russian version, also didn't work. I'll try another ROM now and if it still doesn't work I'll go to where I bought it and I'm going to smash it in the sellers head (angry). I'm so disappointed in SONY.

I managed to make the screen work again but then it stopped like before. I suspect that there might be a SIM card problem is your sim a genuine micro SIM or is it like mine a chopped mini one?

I sended my Xperia ZR back to sony, because I talked to a SONY employee about this and his answer was to send it back for repairs. After all **** installations that didn't work. At the look of it the frimware for the screen is not inplemented in the new 4.2.2 update. If you could rip the 4.1.2 screen frimware off and migrate it with the 4.2.2 update that could work, but that is a bit to advanced for me.

[Q] Xperia Tl Bricked won't turn on QHSUSB driver?

Okay, how about this one?
My phone WAS stuck in one of these infamous boot loop/battery thingys, but I just removed the battery and charged it with an external RC Battery charger ($60, charges EVERY type of battery, everyone should have one). When I put it back in, everything was great. I then used Flashtool to unlock the bootloader without problem. Then I went to flash a stock ROM to the thing via flashtool and left it go. When I came back, flashtool had completed the operation without errors, and had last told me to reset the phone. The phone, however, wouldn't turn on or respond AT ALL to anything I did. So I took the battery out and charged it, thinking it must just have run out of power but upon putting the battery back in, the phone remained unresponsive.
No modes, no lights, nothing. The ONLY thing that happens is if I have the thing plugged into the PC and I hold the UP (maybe the DOWN, i don't remember) button, the PC detects and tries to find drivers for something called QHSUSB_DLOAD... qualcomm High Speed USB download drivers, maybe? I've looked around and somewhere someone said that for another Xperia (don't remember which one) THEY had read that you could get the phone into flashboot mode somehow once installing the drivers. They supposedly come with the "gordon's" USB tools or whatever the heck it's called, but I couldn't get xp to accept anything included with gordon's as a proper driver. Yes, I know I had to INSTALL gordons, since an exe sure isn't a driver.
I've also found that, at least for the Galaxy 2, once you're at a point where it's asking for QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers, there's nothing you can do short of JTAG repair. However, as my friend so succinctly put it, "That's not a galaxy, it's an xperia" so I'm still holding onto hope. Anybody have any ideas? Or where I could find a QHSUSB_DLOAD driver and what to do with it then? I AM planning on getting a jtagger soon, so maybe this'll be the reason I finally do.

1) you did not unlock your boot loader successfully using flash tool, that's impossible.
2) uninstall all Sony and any phone software/drivers from your PC
3) charge your phone for at least 24 hours without touching it.
4) install pccompanion to your PC
5) with the phone still turned off, press and hold the volume down button and attach usb cable, then whilst still holding the volume button press the power button until the phone vibrates.
6) the phone should go in to flash mode and you should be able to repair using flash tool, if it doesn't try the next steps.
7) install flash tool and run drivers.exe, choose flash mode, fastboot and tx drivers.
8) press and hold volume. Up and power button until phone vibrates and go back to step 5
9) after you have tried all this please let me know what happens

1) Are you sure of that? I mean, it even has a BUTTON for it... it just automates the flashboot thingy if I remember correctly... the thing is, when I was writing my post, I wasn't sure if I was confusing this phone with another I was working on right then... but, no I'm pretty certain I did it through flashboot. Maybe not. Anyway, it wouldn't have even let me flash if my bootloader was locked still, right?
2) Haha- I'm afraid that's not really possible, BUT I already have PC companion installed and it was working fine. (Can you unlock your bootloader through PC companion? Maybe THAT's what I did- I KNOW I didn't do it through the command prompt, though...)
3) Okay, I am actually trying this as we speak, though I did take the battery out and charged it fully already
4) PC Companion installed
5) asks for QHSUSB_DLOAD driver, never vibrates
6) I wish
7)done
8) does nothing
9) Okay, so I will allow that perhaps there are things going on that all the uninstalling and reinstalling would fix and so I will try it out on a clean computer here in a little bit, but I don't think I'm gonna have any luck. I'll let you know what happens...

1) I am certain you have not unlocked your bootloader via flash tool or by pccompanion.
2) step 3 said charge battery for 24 hours, so you have not done that yet.
3) the remaining steps need to be done after the charging, so please follow the instructions as I have said them
4) the way you keep confusing terms and mixing up words makes me think you have not really done your research before trying to flash your phone. Reading is a great thing, try post 2 of the all in one thread. (there is no such thing as flashboot, that's a weird mixture of two different things, flash mode and fast boot, you need to know the difference between them. Also you can flash roms with a locked bootloader, you need to understand the difference between rooting and unlocking)

greg,since 23rd February 2013 you can unlock BL via flashtool.You should know that...
Unified Bootloader unlock feature with the new BLU icon. No more unlock plugin.

AFAIK that is just for the devices it could unlock before (2012 and before), not the newer devices that it could never unlock such as ours.

1) http://news.softpedia.com/news/Sony...ts-Flash-Tool-for-Xperia-Devices-315706.shtml - no wait, that just says it's supported by flashtool. I'll keep looking. I could tell you real easy if my bootloader was unlocked or not, but the thing wont turn on Would flashtool have offered me the bootloader unlock button if it didn't support it for my device? It tells me how to get to flashmode erroneously (for MY model, not most) but I figured it just wanted me in flashmode so I put the phone in flashmode. Hell, maybe I never unlocked the bootloader and just tried flashing a stock rom... would flashtool have allowed me to try and flash a non-stock rom with an unlocked bootloader? Would THAT have bricked the phone? I'm gonna go see what the rom I flashed was called now....
2) yeah, as I said, I'm doing that right now. though I took the battery out and charged it, so I thought it might work... even still, it's not been on for 24 hours yet as I writing this, so waiting... is there something that being on the charger for 24hours does besides ensure the battery is charged? Calibration or something? I can assure you the battery is fully charged to peak capacity.
3) will do, though when it doesn't work, do you promise that we can try to talk about QHSUSB_DLOAD? I promise that when it DOES work, I'll happily thank you and admit that even though you haven't quite given me a reason WHY, leaving it plugged in for 24 hours did something more than charge the battery. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I really think there's a chance it could but as I said, I can assure you the battery is charged to peak capacity
4) so I call "flashmode" "flash boot" mode- I am quite well aware of the differences between flashmode and fastboot mode. Figured since the one said flash and the one said fast it was obvious. Man, I did my "research", I read the all-in-one thread, as well as others... I've done this to dozens of phones over the last 3 years and just recently an Xperia Play which acquainted me with many of the idiosyncrasies of the Xperia line, flashboot, pc companion, etc... so when, after 3 years I finally actually ASK a question, I start to get this particular brand of close- mindedness... the way you keep not even trying to actually answer my question makes me think you didn't necessarily read my post before offering up a standard "cookie cutter" recipe which you don't necessarily understand enough to see how it might not necessarily apply. My REAL question was about QHSUSB_DLOAD device requiring a driver since that's the ONLY RESPONSE I CAN GET AT ALL from a phone WITH A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. (you see, there I wanted to say QHSUSB_DLOAD driver, but that's not quite correct- QHSUSB_DLOAD.dll would be a possible name for the driver, but it's really a device called QHSUSB_DLOAD which does not have a driver. See how I'm taking pains to watch my words so as to not promote confusion.)
Cause you're RIGHT, really; using the proper terms IS important, but can you tell me that you SERIOUSLY didn't know what I meant when I said flashboot mode instead of flashmode? Or that you knew what I meant, but you thought that I didn't ? Did I ever confuse the two terms flashboot and fastboot? "there's no such thing as a flashboot"... what a silly-sounding thing to say... anyway, I never said there was- just that there was a flashboot mode. )Anyway, I do appreciate the help, just not the attitude, y'know?

The attitude was not meant (Nor I hope delivered, maybe its just a style of writing and trying to get to the point quick)
What charging for 24 hours does is to make sure there is some charge in the phone. I am no technical expert here, I am just very good at fault finding and knowing a trick or two that helps. The majority of people on here do not do their own fault finding before asking for help so before I dive in and help people I want to know that something simple has not been overlooked.
Charging for 24 hours has helped about 80% of the people on here who claim a hard/soft brick and they have tried ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING to fix it.
Anyway, as for the QHSUSB download, I have had that before and just a perseverance of starting again from scratch and charging worked. (That's why I asked you to wipe all sony/phone/adb etc software from your pc) However, I am sure you are aware that the majority of times this happens you are left with a hard brick. Google gives a lot of results on this about Samsung and HTC phones (All of which offer no solutions) but very little for xperia phones.
All I am trying to do is guide you through some fault finding techniques and then give you some advice on things that have worked for people in the past.
NB
It is sometimes hard for me to hold the hand of all the users I help. I get between 20-30 PM's a day (Some of which are quite bad mannered because I have not replied within a few hours with a message on how to help them, that does not put me in a good mood) and check the Q&A thread (And general thread for those that cannot post in the correct forum) on a very regular basis in order to help people, but the increase in people not reading and just flashing means I cannot dedicate the time to being a personal assistant to all, you may have see 4 new threads in the Q&A section in the last 24 hours, all made by different users with the same problem, all of which occurred because they were flash happy and tried CM roms without unlocking the bootloader....
EDIT
There is still no such thing as flashboot....its called flashmode
In the past some users have called these two modes different things, got them mixed up or even thought they were the same thing, that's why I wanted to know which one you meant.
Also, the flashtool you linked to in point 1 is the official flashtool for Sony that only works on unlocked bootloaders. The flashtool from the first post in the dev section is the original flashtool by Androxyde and Bin4ry (First developed for the x10) and is the one to use for flashing FTF's and the one you used from your original post.

i also have this problem.
my xperia TL won't response anything. Plug in to PC it searching for QHUSB_DLOAD driver.
now, phone still in my drawer for 4 month

Yeah, that's what I had gathered... I just got out of a bootloop by charging the battery with a programmable peak charger, so I KNOW its got a full charge.

See, right- that's what I always hear everybody say on forurms like this... cause it's TRUE. Most people asking a question generally barely know the proper question to ask and when the DO, they don't think to SEARCH for it. (Although I've always found the Xda forum search EXTREMELY lacking; I'd do a search for a term in the xda search and get nothing so I had to go to google and find the proper xda page through IT. It's much better of late, though)
However, it has been my experience that everything everybody always complains about; people asking before even searching themselves, people asking questions but not providing enough relevant information for the questions to be answered, etc... all these "rules of conduct" are based around the avoidance of WASTED TIME/EFFORT. Which I whole-heartedly agree with. I almost never ask about anything on the forums because it's almost ALWAYS faster to find the answer myself. It's usually out there.. so when I DO post a question, I will give a detailed account of my situation, how I got there and where I'm at... so, with all that everybody says about reading BEFORE you post questions why does it always seem like NO ONE EVER READS MY QUESTIONS before answering? For example, this time I was just like- "wow, dude didn't even read the background, gave me a cookie-cutter set of instructions and didn't even TRY to answer my actual question!"

For real? You've actually had that before and come out of it? Was it on an xperia device? That means there IS hope beyond JTAG service... galaxys don't have flashmode, know what I'm sayin? I'm thinking maybe if I get the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver qpst or (more likely) qxdm will communicate with the port and I can do something like getting it into flashmode or rebuilding it or just figuring out what happened.
Haven't had much luck finding the drivers, but I haven't really looked that hard yet...

Sure am. Yeah, what led me to post was when every time QHSUSB_DLOAD was even mentioned by galaxy owners, the immediate consensus was that this always means you're bricked and require JTAG repair service. As you say, not much regarding xperia, although the ONE thing I saw was someone who said that THEY heard something about getting the driver and being able to parlay that up into getting it back into flashmode or fastboot mode but that's about it. I'm gonna keep on it...

No doubt... it is sometimes hard for me to ask questions because most times I only end up having to bring the person supposed to be helping me up to speed simply to be able to ask the question and have the answer be (usually, but not ALWAYS) "you're guess is as good as mine". I don't mean you, just so you know; I'm speaking of "how it usually goes".

Yeah, I know; I posted that link thinking it said something other than what it did- like there's gonna be a news article about Sony adding support I edited the post and mentioned that and left the link instead of just deleting it. Dunno why.
All that the Sony flashtool can really do is return you back to stock, right? I think I read something like that...
So anyways, I tried it after charging 24hrs but there was no difference. Gonna look into this Qualcomm HSUSB Download driver- ANYONE know ANYTHING about it?

Yes, but it only happened the once, a fair few years ago before I really had heard of the problem. That's why I can not be quite sure how I fixed it, but it certainly was nothing more than perseverance of trying different things.

Sorry I could not have been more help. I will continue to dig around and ask others I know that might shed more light on this. I will post here again as when I have something you might appreciate. Good luck.

Ur phone is hardbricked

Xperia Z keeps shutting down on boot

Hi, before my xperia z used to keep shutting down before, I think it was because my phone was overheating but that was only when I was using apps like youtube and snapchat. Now it shuts down every time. When I turn it on it stays on the sony logo part for around 5 seconds and completely ****s down. I tried re flashing the ftf from flashtool and that still didnt fix it. I also tried using the repair my phone function on pc companion and it still didnt work. I dont know what I did wrong before, im not sure if it was because I unlocked my bootloader and saved my TA partition. Im not sure. But the phone was fine after I unlocked my bootloader. So I cant access the actual phone but I can put it on flashmode and fastboot. Someone help me please.

Ok quick update, I just turned the phone on when it was plugged in and it said 56% and charging and when I turned it on it said 5% and now its charging. It also got a bit hot. What do you reccomend I do now?

Also everytime I unplug it, it turns off

Hi if anytime you disconnect the USB cable the phone power off itself, there is a problem with the battery or with the circuit that manages the battery, it's a know problem and most of the times a battery change fix this issue..
The phone has never take water?
Previously when the phone auto restart itself, was warm?

Nope, Ive never put it in water, and yes it was warm. Everytime I tried to use it, it became warm. I ordered a new battery, hopefully it should fix the issue. I used to be able to use it when it was plugged in, now when it is plugged in it turns off after 5 seconds.
