[Q] Pullable battery problem and CWM - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So I wanted to install CWM on my XZ and root it. But the problem i am staying in front of is that the phone hasn't got the pullable battery which means I am not able to pull off the battery if the phone goes into the bootloop. Is there any solution to get out off the bootloop? In any other way than the pulling off the battery was? Because I am used to it and I don't know any other way how to get to CWM then or just to get phone boot. Hope you get me.
Thanks, in advance.

Press volume up+ power till you hear 3 vibrations.
This is same as removing the batt and putting it back.

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

I was finally running Odin correctly and set my phone down and the battery dislodged. I went to put the battery back in and I can't even get the phone to turn on now.
Any help would be appreciated.
What happens when you plug the phone in to the power outlet. ..

Nothing. Just a black screen. Still just a black screen if I hold power and both volume buttons to try and enter recovery. Same with holding both volume buttons and trying to enter download mode.
I don't know much about these phones like some people here but my phone was bricked and i used the jig method it took me the download mode

Yep. I think a USB Jig is your best bet right now.

[Q] Can't turn on

Hi guys, so my Nexus One won't turn on. The power button is shagged and has been for a long time. But I've always managed to get around this.
Now I have just recently flashed the latest MIUI-US rom to my phone and the battery went flat today.
I can't get the phone to turn on due to faulty power button. I have tried the battery pull technique that I used successfully on CM7. I'm not sure at all whether it is to do with the rom or the kernal at all but the battery pull just won't work anymore! Help!
Try pulling the SIM and SD also...
If I do it like that, I won't be able to use my phone once it's on
Ok, I'll be more specific.
Try pulling and reinserting your SIM, SD and battery...
I've tried, but still no luck. I've bought a Galaxy S II now, so waiting for that to arrive. So glad to not have to worry about a stupid power button anymore

Phone will not power on.

I was scanning to see if it had recovery for my phone.As I was scrolling down their list, my finder sliped and selected recovery of different phone and installed it., my phone bleeped a few times with black screen.
I tried to switch on using power key, but it will not power.
I then took the battery out and used Vol down key + power to reboot into bootloader. Nothing happed, phone just bleeps few times. Still black screen.
Need urgen help please.
Pull battery for 15min and try again. If nothing happened go to service. Or try install the ruu for your country.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried hard reset after taking out the battery without any luck. I can not install the RUU as the phone is dead, black screen. Battery was fully charged. I did a bad flash by accident via rom manager.
Anyone out there with similar problem and found the solution, I do not need another expensive door stopper.

If you can go to bootloader or make factory reset (vol down + vol up + power) and something showing on the screen you can install ruu.
If you can charge the battery (led is shining) its mean you need only j-tag :d
If nothing with this. Its mean your memory is dead.
I had this issues on my friend phone. But there was no led and no vibration. Realy dead

The screen is black. So hard reset does not work. Total dead, the screen does not light. When you do factory reset, the phone make 5 or 7 beeps like when phone is vibrating, then it is dead, no response. I think I need to have J-Tag.

How are you sure that the battery is good and charged. Normally after one year if the usage is heavy, the chances of battery down happens. So make sure battery is good. Secondly you mentioned volume down button, how about vol up button ie recovery mode?

This happened to me as well last week. Tried everything but failed.
I did below steps and my phone is up & working
1) Remove the battery and keep it in a dry place for 4-6 hours (Very important step to make this work)
2) Place the battery back into computer and do not turn ON the phone
3) Plug the phone to wall charger and charge the phone for at least an Hour (I kept for 2 Hrs)
4) Remove the charger and gently press the power button for 15 secs
5) This should turn the phone back ON
Above steps helped for me. Let me know if this worked for you also :angel:

Ankush,
In your case I can think of only 2 things
1) If you have CWM installed then
press and hold "Volume UP Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get recovery screen
If yes then all is ok & you just need to flash a new ROM
2) If you do not have CWM then
press and hold "Volume Down Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get a custom screen
If yes then you can install custom ROM (or original ROM) using ODIN.
Let me know if anything helps you here

Israr

This step kinda weird.. Since I my note never get wet. I hope it will work.. I tried it later.. I dont have much budget to upgadet to Note 3 now. :crying:
Same kind of error
Over the night my phone closed. When I try to open it, on the screen apeared "Insert PIN to decrypt your ~something~ ". I never encrypted my phone so I tried to restart. I got stuck on the samsung logo. Then I removed the battery and put it back in and my device never started again. I have 2 batteries and none of them worked. I can charge the batteries independently and this is not the issue.

Have the same problem right now.. did you find a solution eventually?
Same happened to my device today. Had trouble with some apps before. Wanted to play back a two days old backup. But my phone never woke up again. Shut down forever. Never got to recovery. Had the latest cm11 nightly. Now its dead! RIP. My dear friend. We've gone a long way together. Never intended to replace you anytime soon. But I can't be without a Phone. Moving on to Galaxy S5 now. Hope it can fill the gapp.
Same here, completely dead after a reboot. I took it apart but I see no damage or signs of burn damage anywhere on the motherboard or other components. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and find out specifically what happened?
i am not sure, mayb the phone is design to last for only certain years, new apps launch make the phone in applicable for be running with latest apps and everything. Or mayb the phone is design with a timer to self destroy its chip or component after specific numbers of days being used??

I had this issue and sent back to Sony under warranty, had notice to say should be back in 24-72 hrs.
If you don't have option to send to Sony try phone store and get them to remove battery and flash stock again....or if feeling brave do your self

Glad you got it sorted.
How did you turn off as your original post said you couldn't, just in case it happens again to me when flashing mods.

i hold on the power button (sleep/wake button) and the off button at the back. i hold them at the same time. after feeling 3 vibrations, release the power button. the device should turn off now. when you feel one vibration. it doesn't turn off the phone. the phone will just boot up again.
isnt there a soft reset button on the back of the phone (you know the button you use a pen to press it).

Hi, I have the same issue and I try this solution but it didn't work for me.
Because I want to try the trinity vengeance rom and I'm scared that if I have a bootloop, I can't turn off my phone.
Sorry for my english ^^

Hi, your problem is solved?
Edit: I found the solution in the other topic in Q/A.
I hold the power button with volume up and the off button at the back.
I wait 3 vibrations and the phone turn off. Thanks to xda community

Thanks to your guides I have found out a full solution for this. I'm come from Trinity...'s rom and have bootloop too.
1. Keep the device connected with PC by USB cable
3. Open and prepare a firmware in Flashtool
4. Flashtool notifies to have your phone connected in flashmode --> It's time to go
5. Press and hold combination of Volume Down + Power + Reset
6. After 3 times vibrating with GREEN Led blinking, have your fingers relaxed and your SP's been in flash mode then :good:
7. Bear in mind that you should be careful for the next time playing with Rom and mods! :laugh:
