Hey guys,
Unfortunately I have encountered a sudden death with my Xperia Z yesterday. I had:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Stock kernel
- Stock based rom
- Recovery for locked bootloader, because I was still testing it.
I wanted to try the whitebalance.apk from Xperia ZL rom to seeif it worked or to debug if it didn't.
Anone else had a sudden death or a similar problem like softbrick? Let me know and post as many details as possible.
I've tried everything so don't say:
- Try a hard reset
- Try fastboot
- Try Flashmode
- Try charging it for hours
EDIT: More details:
- C6603
- No LED
- Vo vibration
- Nothing after hours of charging.
Only thing I haven't tried is connecting in a dock, because I don't have one. Black97 told me he solved the issue by connecting to the dock.
Do you still have any led notifications(red,blue,green)?
Did you manage to use the white balance settings?could be the value set burns the screen??

would u pls tell ur xZ is; C6603 Or C6602?
and kernel
Off topic I know, but I bricked by Xperia U by removing the battery through a freeze. It wouldn't boot or charge. But I left in on charge for an hour, and it booted. As well as that, it had downgraded from V4 of a ROM I was running to V3.
On a brick that makes no sense, fix it in a way that makes no sense.

I added more details, I've really tried everything, I recovered several Xperia phones from soft brick, so I don't think any of these will help, but I'll connect it to usb and charger again during the weekend. I need to sent it back to the online store on monday.
EDIT: More details:
- Stock kernel
- Stock based rom, slightly modified stock rom
- Unlocked Bootloader

Any Feedback when connecting to PC?
Any Device recognized? I actually think you messed up your CPU/Mainbord somehow... ...or is it a memory/flash problem?
Hope you can solve it
Try recalling what you did before the sudden death, like installing the apk or modifying the framework.

Hello krabappel2548 !
- to understand that not really worth to unlock bootloader !
- XZ is so sensitive that he breaks so fast ?
I know you as a consummate professional ( I do not think it is because of you, rather I go on a platform quite sensitive to the Sony ...)
I bought it a few days ago and I'm going to do some custom rom and kernel for it - but now I remains to think about that ....
Good luck & hope that you resolve the situation :good:
( sure, I need to unlock bootloader first : )

Battery cover on the Z is unremovable.
My guess is he just had an unlucky device. I've read about one dead Xperia Z before on another forum so it's entirely possible. Doubt it's related to anything else.
Did you experience any extraordinary heat from the phone before it crashed?
Maybe try smelling for burns or something.
Recover your phone with SUS, i recovered my x10mini several times.

You can try a wipe data in recovery, if it works (power button +volume up + home when the phone is off)
Okay do what the guy above said,
1. Get into Recovery Mode(Volume up + Power Button)
2. Wipe data and cache
Please reply if anything happens.

Hello guys,
I just rooted my Xperia Z and flashed this ROM on to my Xperia Z: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262905
After flashed I clicked reboot system now on CWM. However, the phone didn't restart. After a minute, I turned it on myself but the screen would not come on, it was totally blank. I connected it to the charger (it's in charging now) and a RED LED keeps flashing.
What should I do? Please help .
Also, like a dimwit I didn't backup my phone so please give me methods to back it up in it's current state just in case any methods you guys recommend delete the data on my phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,

Hi I humbly ask for your help for my xperia V, Its my first time to use android and my current phones are iPhone and Blackberry and never had issues like this.
My xperia V phone is not rooted and has the updated firmware of 9.1.1A something. Hongkong Phone, Has the updated firmware from the box, so everytime I restore/factory reset, no need for updates.
My problem is my phone keeps crashing and restart like crazy 2-3 days ago. I downloaded an app named 'Root External 2 Internal SD' without even realizing my phone is not rooted because its my first time. And after that maybe the crashes started, everytime I restart, restore, my phone is just the same nothing changes. Restart after 1-5 mins and sometimes now crash when I am navigating around. In airplane mode, the phone works great and its not dying or anything, also I can use the phone as an mp3 player, camera, wifi, all good.
I just want an opinion from an expert I will post videos too, if needed.
My questions:
1. Did this app 'Root External 2 Internal SD' killed my phone because it was not rooted?
2. Do I need to root the phone to a fresh new ROM ?
3. If I dont need to root the phone(Warranty is not an issue) How do I restore it fresh from its stock Rom/Old ROM I feel I damaged it because of that application?
Any suggestion will help, please help me!!

There was no error in reset and factory reset because when it finishes up until the menu then it will start crashing. Does battery affect the ROM? Battery is in discharge. Airplane works like a charm. For now I use it like an Ipod touch. Wifi works, gps, all of the other stuff works except on Phone mode.
Im new I cant post screenshots

I have the same problem on Xperia T. I found that it stops reseting with baseband version last digits 57 and just loses the connection. On every other version of baseband it resets or falls in SoD.
I have the same problem in my XV..it works like a charm when it is in Airplane mode.

I recently got the XPERIA SP(C5303) and I've been wondering whether I should root it or not.
From the information I've gathered currently, I can see a lot of people are having issues.
My main question is..
Is it worth rooting?
What are the pro's and con's of rooting this specific device (Xperia Sp)?
For example, will rooting disable the offline charging features?
What other aspect of the phone will be unavailable if I root..?
I really want to root but these problems are holding me back.
Can anyone reassure me?
Thank you very much.:good:

Despite the issues some uses face I would say rooting has more in favour for than against.
Before rooting you can use flashtools to backup your ROM into a ftf file so you can use of you don't like it.

I didnt know of any offline charging problems but from my experience ROOTed >>unRooted in every aspect.
And its really easy too if you dont undate to .254 version, just connect cable and use doomlords kit.
I have rooted and unlocked bootloader and everything works fine so dont be afraid and ROOT! :good:

repair with SEUS or PC compagnon
I have rooted my SP about 10 times give or take
The last 3 days i kept changing and trying roms and flashing kernels(i relocked and unlocked my bootloader 2 times) (most used program in my PC was flashtool )
But thats just extreme so i slowed down. Overall as zolaisugly said rooting helps you and dont mind about the small bugs that can be repaired easily
Also to make your decision easier you can use these apps : Titanium Backup , Greenify , Light Flow (helped me a lot) , Folder Mount , Link 2 SD !!!!
It just worth it !!!!
so i have a xperia sp with stock rom.id like to know what all problems can be caused by rooting the phone.and after rooting the phone,will the LED light strip stop working?

No ofcourse not (; don't worry. Nothing will be disabled, and for the offline charging bug, just make your own ftf from a repair with SEUS and you'll flash a bug free kernel when done rooting .254

Mere rooting of the phone does NOT give problems.
Unfortunately, with the advent of 4.3, "mere' rooting is not possible unless you install pre-rooted "custom" roms.
A few roms are simply "re-engineered" stock to allow root and recoveries - these give the least problems.
Other roms are modified, and thus have more chances of problems.
I installed this "near stock" rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 and had no problem
Because I wanted more than stock, I am now on this (the longest I have been on one rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658043
If you have your own stock in hand, try the above roms. If you encounter problems, it is easy to re-flash your stock.
Your greatest challenge would be to downgrade to 4.1.2 to root before you can install these roms.
