Can you enter flash mode? Does the phone turn on at all? Did you follow the warnings before unlocking your bootloader? Have a look at this and see if your phones bootloader can be unlocked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924
Wow, bricking became more day by day...

Your phone maybe be hardbricked. Have you got a webcam? I could try fix it from where i live. I think your battery died. This could in turn hardbricked your phone. Have you unlocked the bootloader before or was this your first time?

I really do think its harbricked! I have 2 questions for you. Does your computer recognize your phone when you connect it to your computer? This is taken from nelikp: Check Manufactoring date/code (behind batery)
11W29 above U better stay away and stop dreamming (i got 4 times hard bricked on 11W38)
11W28 below U can proceed and again I am not Responsible if it BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!
Check to see if your bootloader can be unlocked?

Nope when your phones hardbricked its completely dead, all they can do is change the motherboard. So basically they cant even turn it on to check to se if its rooted etc. There are many people on here that have used the charging exuse to get SE to fix their hardbricked X8.

NO you can restore a hardbricked phone not by replacing the motherboard well you could but you dont have to. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujH_IpsskLg. There is guys that will do this for a fee. It wont cost that much not as much as replacing a motherboard lol!

You obviously jumped straight into unlocking your bootloader without reading any of the warnings. Your bootloader cant be unlocked! Thats why you have hardbricked your phone. Goodluck with unbricking your phone. I would be able to do it for you but the postage will cost too much. I have seen guys that will give you free postage to them. They will do it for about 20dollars. If you need the link i will look for it?

Lol so your telling people to purchase a Riff box and attempt to restore it when they can just send it to SE and they'll replace the motherboard under warranty?
Even if SE do find out the bootloaders unlocked then all they do is send it back to you, so what's the worst that can happen from sending it to SE.

You have to wait about a month or 2 to find out that you have voided your warranty and they send it back to you. LOL! So your saying send it to them hoping they don't notice which they will and waste a month. Stupid! I am suggesting to pay some guy to unbrick your phone OR ya if you want do it yourself

Do you know how it would probably cost without warranty?
And what are the odds of finding out that i tried to unlock the bootloader and lose my warranty?

It will cost about 20 dollars. I wouldn't pay any more than that. They will see it straight away that you have tried to unlock your bootloader. Your warranty is voided at the moment. There are ways around this smash your phone to bits LOL! They will give you a new one. Honestly just pay someone to unbrick your phone

Hello All,
My OB is bricked, i was flashing it with smartflash tool and installing official lg optimus gb image, but suddenly it was bricked. Now it is not starting, not even in download mode, no signal of power.
Any ideas?
It caused bcoz of loose cable connection.
While flashing any ROM, cable should have intact connectivity..

Probably a hard brick, bring it to a lg service center. Tell them you tried to update your phone and all of a sudden the update stopped and now it doesnt react anymore.

ok, but is there any other way?
In case of hard rest, as N00BY0815 said, only way is to take the phone to LG service center, but you have to take precaution regarding:
Take out the memory card and keep at ur home, in case you rooted the phone, otherwise they will know that U rooted the phone and reject the warranty.
i dont think rooting is against warranty everywhere does your pc recognises it when you plug it in while holding p
volume+ ?

He already said, it doesnt even turn on in download mode, so there is no chance to revive it. LG will not know, if it was rooted or not, since noone can turn it on and check it. So just do what i told you above and everything should be good again

This is software error not hardware error. They can't charge you buying new free software.
If its hardware error, in this case, then the problem is not caused by the root and they can't reject warrenty (at least in Europe, I'm pretty sure in most places they'll get away with it.)
EDIT
@Nooby
If they can't access it through new bootloader they have to use JTAG equipement and then you can read and write to flash memory.

I have not much knowledge like xonar and N00BY0815,
Maybe they used JTAG or something ..bcoz at first they try to know whether it is rooted and non-rooted to get reject the phone here.
At that time, I contacted the most senior developers here in XDA, they also suggested that there is nothing to do if the phone is not turning on, & take it to service center...(the case is of LG P500)
That's strange. When I hard bricked mine, they kept my phone 3 weeks to finally say that it was the motherboard which died (I flashed a P990 rom by mistakes, it was for a friend but I forgot it in my sdcard).

11 days ago i installed cm10 nightly 11-14-12 after using the rom about 4 days, suddenly while charging my phone turn off and didn't turn on again. It can't enter sw upgrade. When i send it to the lg service center they said that it was a motherboard problem and need to replace it. It cause P9,000 (about $214). What the F**K! The brand new Optimus black here cause around P13,000 ($309). My warranty is already expired so i decided not to replace the motherboard and wait for the release of nexus 4 here in my country.
That time i'm using blackberry charger 5v output. Do you guys think that the hardbricked has also something related to the charger?
Hi everyone, I purchased my Xperia TX 2 months ago in Singapore and now I return to my home country- Vietnam. My phone was working good till last week.
I was surfing via 3G on my phone and i remember it was 3% battery left and then BANGGG...My phone turned black and i though it was out of battery.
Then I charged it on wall socket as usual and saw the red notification light as usual but it disappeared after a while. I couldnt turn it on anymore. I charged it for 4 hours and the screen kept the same.
I have tried to press "power +up/down volume" keys and its still frozen. Only the red light vibrates and nothing more.
I DIDNT unlock the boot loader, water, or drop it. I use my phone for daily uses and usually connect with the Sony Companion so I make sure again its not rooted yet.
Finally, I bring it on the customer service and they said its because of my fault to unplugged it when flashing ROM bla bla bla. i though Its because they have not seen any problem like this before since Xperia TX has not been released in Vietnam yet and they could not turn the phone on or connect it to PC. So, I left it there this morning and wait for the result.:crying:
Does anyone have the same problem with me? Is it the hardware or software problem? Is it the Sleep of Death (SOD) mentioned in some thread here? PLEASE show me how to fix it!
Have you tried taking out the battery, wait awhile and put it back again and plug the phone for charging again?
But since it's already in the service center, no need to worry, they can repair whatever the problem is.

you should have tried the backup and restore app of Sony bro, copy the backup to your PC and then restore it later after your phone got back from service center
anyways, next time try that app, it saves a lot of time
and about service center, they are quite very good in service quality

Yesterday i tried removing the battery and it was no use. I am mad because i just lightly used the product for less than 2 weeks, took good care of it, and wont be able to return it because I am in another country. So that is 539 USD wasted.
Hey, anything could solve this problem?
As many threads about this (Or a similar problem) suggest you just need to leave you rphone on charge for at least 24 hours. Use a wll charger not a USB.
Do not touch the phone in this time, just wait. If after this it does not charge, it appears your battery is FUBAR'd
Hey, device more than 24 hours when there is no change, still red light. I had some battery nothing helps. Help please what can be done? Thank you.

Do you know someone else with a phone that yu could borrow their battery to see?
I take it you have checked whether the charger works and tried other chargers?
Another trick I have heard of in the old X10 forum is to cut the end of your charger lead and directly put red wire onto positive end of battery and black wire onto the negative end and charge the battery that way. But do this at your own risk. I have no way of knowing if this will work on the TX and it may even make the battery worse....but for a last chance it may be worth a go.
Edit
Also, its not yet been 24 hours since my post saying leave it plugged in for 24 hours...so maybe following instructions to the letter is something to go with in the future...
Hey, thanks for the experience to help and sorry for publication in both forums. I just gave up. I tried another battery I have another battery ... Did not work I think just the CPU burned or something? Sony is waiting for a reply on the matter. Unfortunately I did not buy the device in my country is not out here so I'm not sure I'd have a warranty. Thanks again

Got the same problem. No one can resolve this, and Sony refusing to repair a month old phone if you bought it not in your country. What a shame.
Bought new phone instead of bricked one.
Hi guys,
i am here for a long long time and you all have helped me solving many many problems i have had with HTC HD Mini, LG Optimus Black P970, Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 an now Sony Xperia Z C6603. Thanks for all your hard work!
But now i have a strange problem that i never have had before.
Until 02.08.2013 all was working fine. Installed nothing from there on. No Apps, no ROM etc....
My phone only starts when plugged to charger. USB or wall. If not plugged in it stops booting mostly at Sony-Logo.
Sometimes it starts up to the XPERIA-Logo and sometimes i can see the coloured lines moving from left to right.
Then suddenly the screen tuns off an thats it.
I tried to update with SEUS (.244). Locked back the bootloader before. - same problem.
Reinstalled a ROMAur .244 with its kernel- same problem
Installed ExistenZ V4 (.423) - same Problem
flashed DoomKernel v09 with flashtool - same problem
flashed original kernel with flashtool (.423) - same problem
Updated with PC Companion (.244) - same problem
flashed DoomKernel v09 with flashtool - same problem
flashed original kernel (.244) - same problem
I flashed original ROM (.423 with flashtool - same problem
flashed only kernel (.423) with flashtool - same problem
When i start the phone after clean installation with charger battery stats tells me my battery is charged with 55%.
After second start it tells me the battery is loaded to 91%.
Third start tells me its loaded to 41%.
Then, fourth start, charged to 55% and so on.......
I sent it to SONY W-Support in May. Problem was overheating with "Sudden-Death". They changed the mainboard with new IMEI.
Now, three month later, the described Problem.
Yesterday i sent it to W-Support (ww.w-support.co.) again.
I am interested in your opinion anyway.
What could have caused this problem. Which software or hardware problem could this be?
I found no explanation on google or your page.
I will tell you what the support team has done when my phone is back....if someone is interested and has same problem in future....
Best regards,

Normally i use the original one.
But sometimes i use the one from my Samsung I9100. 1000mA maximum.
Its safer to load slowly...
Back again...
Today I got information about the repair status of my XZ.
They changed the battery.
Don`t know why and for now I don`t know if this was the last problem.
The repair center sent it back to me tonight.
I will see when I have the phone back an first of all I will root it
Maybe tomorrow or at Saturday.
I will report if any other problem occurs.
If someone will got same issues like me he now will know that its his battery....
Finally, someone who has experienced the same problem as I am going through right now.
The only difference is that I have a Xperia ZL C6503.
The symptoms are exactly the same in every way. I actually already ordered a new battery off eBay, I already have the phone dismantled up to, and including, the battery (very simple procedure).
The only question I have in addition to what has been said already is, if the tech who replaced the battery mentioned any precautions you should have from this point on?
Have you had any similar issue since you got it back?
Thanks a million,
:good:

No similar issue but phone got black and does not load or start in any way. I took original package and bill, went to the store where i bought it an gave it back. Now i am awaiting my money back.
I am now on HTC ONE X +....
Dont want to get the same phone with maybe same problems again.
Talked to SONY and gave them the advice not to produce mobile phones any more because they are destoying their good work done in digital cameras, TVs, radios etc.
I am really disappointet about this phone.
The design is top but thats not all you have to do....
Thanks to all that helped me and all members of this part of the forum.
Ill never leave
Just to let everybody know that my Xperia ZL is back.
Got my new battery today, installed it and "it's alive". I did quite a bit of research while I was waiting for the battery and seems any mobile phone can have this problem if you don't use the appropriate charger.
Needless to say, I'm going to be alto more careful how I charge my phone from now on.
Thanks

After so long I got Xperia Z. Not even after a month of purchase I am having same problem as mentioned. I use the geniune charger. :crying:
It looks like my phone is dead. I had it checked on repair store and they tried to reprogram and sort of downgrade the OS but unfortunately they weren't able to. Same thing happened. The second repair store said that the back panel has to be opened to check the internal of the phone but I didn't agree to do that.
I'm still trying to charge it today when I got home but still the same no LED light while charging. This is very frustrating as I spent a lot money to have this phone and didn't last for 2 months. Very disappointed. I will never, ever buy from an OL shop again. The warranty is void when I upgraded the OS as per the retailer so no replacement happened. Now I don't have enough money to buy a new one. Have to save up again and will take a couple of months to buy one.
Disappointment.

My mistake is I bought mine from an OL shop here in the Philippines, not from a Sony or Xperia store. I still love Sony, I still want a Z1 but to be honest right now I'm not that 100% sure if I'm gonna buy another one. Though there's no other option out there for me outside Sony aside from Apple (I guess).

Thanks for that. I will post there. Hope they could somehow help me on this.
You guys experimenting with different firmwares, and if you brick your phones you blame it on Sony ? I don´t know if is something like that there for Qualcomm chips but I liked on my Tegra devices that I could restore even a hard bricked device with Nvflash...

Looks like your boot partition has been wiped. That's where kernel is stored. Without kernel, your device won't boot, neither recognize any plugged in cable (USB to computer either Charger).
They're two ways to solve this.
Claim your warranty to change your motherboard.
Find someone who know to revive dead Xperia Z1.
Hope this help.
good luck bro

That is not true. Without a kernel you should still be able to boot into fastboot mode (bootloader) or into flashmode and be able to reflash your device.

JTAG the phone should work but it requires a pro and since it's a new phone I highly doubt that there's any one out there who can do that you might have to wait also you will lose warranty permanently since it requires them opening your phone and soldering. Or send to Sony and pay whatever price they ask for to get it fixed.

Just so you know my phone isn't rooted or anything. I didn't do anything with it aside from updating it to JB 4.3 via Sony Update Service. That's all. That's why I'm so disappointed on why this happened to me wherein I'm not doing anything in it. It's perfectly usable before this happened.

Man than I am sorry fot that, but in your case I would probably send it back to Sony repair center for a warranty repair. I don´t know how it is in your country but I think in every normal country is the manufacturer responsible for the warranty and not the seller, so you even don´t need to contact the company from where you bought your phone, just send it back to the nearest sony repair center and they will repair your device. And if its needed, then don´t say that the phone died after update, just say them that the phone died by itself from nothing...

Yeah man, that's what I will actually today. I'll go to the nearest Sony Service Centre and have it check. Yep I'd say that I haven't upgraded it yet to 4.3. Service fee would be fine since it's not from a Sony store. As long as it will be revived it's fine with me. That is actually my last hope.
Don't blame Sony for that.
First off all - Mercedes sometimes have faulty cars, of course Sony has too but blame whole system for that won't get you nowhere.
If you had flashed custom kernels or ROMs this things could happen...
For all others - if you aren't sure what are you doing don't try to unlock bootloader or root your device...
Wait for a few weeks/months and we'll have better solution...
All devs here warned you - 4.3 on Z1 is new and every ROM and kernel or root method is in test phase...
It's ridiculous to blame Sony for flashing custom stuff and brake you device...
If you haven't then there's no reason not to use your waranty rights...
No matter where did you bought your device you have to have waranty!

No flashing of files or rooting or whatever happened. Updated to 4.3 via SUS. That's all. That's why like I said I'm kinda upset as I didn't do anything other than upgrading the OS to 4.3 via SUS then this sudden death happened.

I know, I was referring to all others who had.
But what's wrong with your waranty then?
If you updated via official Sony apps and programs?

As per the man I talked to when I went into the store the warranty is voided when I updated my OS to 4.3. I can only use the service warranty if I don't do ANY modification of OS or whatever on the phone even if it's from PCC or SUS. Stupid policy.
