Did you insert the sim card properly? Did you force it on its way in?
It is posiboe that you bent the pins that read the sim card, and caused a short circuit. That's you worst case scenario, though.
Try to connect the phone into flashmode, holding volume down and then plug the USB in while still holding volume down. Does the PC recognizes it? If so l, there is hope, you can try and restore the firmware from there using Sony Update Service.

Umm, i was trying to connect to pc like that, hold volume down and connect, nothing happens. Only when i connect cable to pc or to other energy sources, its red light shining about 5-8seconds, and its gone. When i put it in to wall source(i dont know how its called) it starts to tick sometimes, i mean red shine, nothing, red shine nothing, and all hour, and sometimes red light 5-8secs and its dead. Well i dissamblied my phone now, i dont see any burst parts, everythings looks okay, what should i do? Maybie try to check with power checking screwdriver where power is "walking around" ?

the battery is depleted. you need a wall charger with minimum 2 Amperes output

I would try the same,very good hint

The corosion can take many months after the phone taking water. Anyway next time just start by that point, and buy a new phone if your phone has take water.

Thank you for help dudes, i got luck that i pay for phone insurance, i got new working phone for free. Thank you for trying to help, another z is dead, because of water. NOTE : Dont believe of any waterproofs phones, because i just had it , and it died after 2months of using

People the phone is water RESISTANT. Nobody said you should go diving with it, dunk it in a glass of beer, or spray it with a hose. It's meant to withstand emergenices like spills and quick drops in water.

You should put that on your signature. You cannot be more correct. People goes nuts with the phone, "I will take my phone to some snorkeling", "I'ma bring mah phone to the river rapids", "I'm going to take underwater pictures", etc, etc, etc.

Sounds like a death battery to me...
Try charging for one hour.., Then try to turn it on..
I don't think it does mathers if your phone is locked...,
Let me know the result
it charged my battery over 2h. nothing ....i can not turn on my breeze. the first minute i got a red charging light. like everything is ok.
i got no connection with my xp pc and active sync. the device manager can not detect the breeze. so i can not install any other boot program
any other ideas?
thanks
I had the same problem, it was hardware related though.
There are two little metal contacts that ground the battery cover, well one of them slipped though a little and was shorting pins on the motherboard. So fortunately nothing blew and it just was not turned on.
So obviously there is some form of protection from shorts that it will not power on.
Anyway check if it will turn on if only the motherboard, LCD and battery is plugged, without housing or anything else. Be sure that the back of the battery does not get into contact with the MB if you are going to try.
Good luck, hope you get it fixed..

Water Damage: Broken USB Port and Wifi (updated)

I was caught with my Captivate in Hurricane Irene and it ended up swimming in the ocean >_>; All water indicators are completely red.
Anyway, after washing it out and letting it dry for a couple of days, I tried to turn it on a few times while lightly tapping it against a table. At first, it automatically went into download mode, but eventually I got into CWM and finally booted it normally and all of my data and apps were still there (SIM card or reader is dead though). I wanted to backup my data, but the USB port only seemed to charge the phone and Windows won't detect it. I decided to turn on Bluetooth to attempt a file transfer that way, but I got stuck in some menu (the 4 Android buttons don't work) so I turned off the phone.
I turned the phone on again and now the screen no longer works. I can tell it boots up, feel the lockscreen vibration and everything, but the screen is black (save for one line of white pixels at the very top). I don't think I can get to recovery mode anymore because the phone now turns on automatically when I insert the battery.
So, clinging onto any last hope: with a broken screen, the 4 Android buttons not working and the USB port not working, but Bluetooth enabled on a rooted phone, is there any possibility of recovering data (mainly pictures) from the internal memory? I'm pretty sure the touch layer of the screen still works even if I can't see anything, and I *CAN* get to the network settings through a widget on my homescreen. I am also willing to open up the phone if there is a possibility of cleaning the inside more thoroughly or rewiring the USB section of the board.
Edit: Everything is working now aside from the USB port and the Wifi.

ocean water is salty and its violent killer for the PCB(board inside the phone)
why didnt u put this question after u dropped it in the water...
it killed half of ur board and its killing more...
any phone or electronic equipment goes in the water...so what to do next to save it from total loss
take it out..take out the battery...and if u r a techie then open it and clean teh board and dry it with hair drier....leave it for a day or 2///dry it again..and then put everything back...and most probably it shd work..
if its ocean water...the do the same procedure..but cleanin the pcb with ligh spirit..or if u dont hav that..even normal water would do..atleast it will remove all the salt....
then same procedure of dryin...
though in ur case now....ur phone is almost in coma..coz it was still alive after comin back from the sea ride.and it didnt get any proper medical attention ..i must say that u r damn lucky or captivate is too tough taht it still was on...
anyways...ur problem of not gettin ur usb recognizing..or gettin into the download mode after puttin the batt...it was all because there were still salt and water accumulation inside...
just take ur phoen apart..and clean the pcb gently with light spirit..mind it light spirit...coz hard spirit can burn ur pcb...
if u dont hav spirit then u can use after shave cologne ..it will work as a light spirit....
and then clean the usb connector pins of phone using needle...
though i m really worried..that salt inside must hav started decomposing the iron..and while cleaning some part...some small chips or some parts wont just come out...
well just try..if u r still lucky...!! who knows....coz there is nothing left to loose anymore..

I didn't post a question because I'm in the middle of nowhere with no electricity and rarely a dialup connection to use. After I took it out of the water, I immediately removed the battery, microSD card and SIM card and wrapped everything in a towel (I wasn't anywhere near a house or clean water to treat the phone immediately). 45 minutes later, I was able to completely rinse out the phone with clean water (it was completely covered and full of sand), dry it off with a paper towel and leave it in a bag of dry rice for 24 hours. When the phone was still acting up like I described above, I put it next to one of the warm vents on my laptop for a few minutes, then left it in rice for another 24 hours.
Now the phone works almost perfectly: I can make and receive calls and texts, the earpiece and speaker work, the screen is back to normal, all my apps and data are still there, the 4 Android buttons work, etc. But the USB port still doesn't work (which I figured would happen, since it was the first thing to fail on a previous Captivate and I'm pretty sure it damages from oxidation easily) and the Wifi no longer turns on. I'm looking for a better solution to backing up all of my data, as I don't have a large enough microSD card to fit most of the files on my internal memory.
Buy a bigger sd. 16 gig card on amazon is about $25. That should cover your internal sd.

I guess that's the only feasible solution? When I get back to New York, I'll look into repairing/replacing the USB port and wifi radio.
u r lucky..that ur phone is still workin...
and u will get ur data back once u get the external sd..
and u can still try cleanin the usb pin of phone using thin pin....that might work and ur phone will be recognized by computer..

Water damage. Need help. What`s your opinion?

One month ago,i dropped my Htc one mini 2 in a pot of water. I should say that i rapidly took it out (3-4 sec.)
The screen remained on for just 10 seconds, then the phone became completely dead. I have used rice, silica gel and i managed to turn it on,but the phone was rebooting every 5 minutes. At least no other part was damaged, while it was on i could connect it to WiFi, listen to music to speakers,play games... I`ve sent it warranty, they told me that they can repair it after i pay ~150 euros.
After i received it, i wasn`t able to turn it on at all. The led was blinking and all i could get was the logo with the red battery. (photo in thread). I succeeded to turn it on by pressing the power button+volume up 2 minutes.
Battery shows 0%, 0 mAh, 3,37V.
Is it a dead battery?What should i do? Before warranty the battery was completely fine.
I live in Romania, and here there are only 2 authorized services. Except that, i trust no one.
Please, if u know some solutions that may help, answer this post.
Thank you for patience and help.
PS: I want to highlight the lack of water resistance of this phone...

you should contact the service that done the repair and explain that the phone its not working.
Thank you for response I sent a mail to the service, but they didn`t answer.
I managed to fix the charging problem . I opened the device properly, i disconnected the connectors from the motherboard, i cleaned them and then when i reconnected it all worked. Phone charges to 100%.
BUT, i get random restarts. They are absolutely unexplainable . It`s really annoying.
Finally, if i fix the restart problem the phone is brand new.
It may be a software or a power problem !? (after restart the battery history gets deleted)
I guess it isn`t a hardware problem as long as the phone does not restart at all while it`s in RECOVERY or FASTBOOT.
If u have any ideas, everythink would help. I`ll come again if i fixed something. (i try to clean cache and data and factory reset)

it could still be hardware. Fastboot or recovery does not use all the hardware.
try to run Diagnotics

Xperia ZR cant get into flashmode or turn on

Hey there.
I have an Xperia ZR that is unable to get into flashmode to reflash and it cant turn on.
Sometimes when plugging it into a charger or computer theres a red led lighting on but it just stays like that no matter how long you leave it. Unable to turn on and cant get it into flashmode. Tried with a rubber band to keep holding volume down while have it plugged in with flashtool ready for an entire day with no result.
Have also had the battery out for an entire night but nothing has worked. Is it just broken completely or is there some way to get it to do something again?

Hmm... Sounds like you tried pretty much everything. How about some background info? How did it get this way? Is the bootloader unlocked? Probably not relevant, but you never know.
My best guess would be that there's a loose contact with the USB connector or something, but that doesn't explain why the display doesn't come on when the red light comes on (are you running a custom ROM?). In any case, by this point, the service center is probably your best bet, if you're under warranty that is; if not, you can try taking it to a 3rd party repair shop (that's how I got my screen replaced after my warranty ran out), or maybe disassemble it yourself to see if there's anything you can jam back into place. Don't know what else you can do.
Good luck.
P.S. What about fastboot?

I dont really know anything about it, its a friends phone that bought it used. Theres 100% no warrenty on it and if anything needs to be replaced i can do that but its just determining where the issue is.
Fastboot doesnt seem to do anything either. Also the battery does get hot after leaving it in the charger for ages so i dont think there is a lose connection there? But im not sure.
If theres an issue with the screen it should still boot and such.
I thought it might be an issue with the power and volume buttons but then it should still turn on when charging id assume, or partially turn on, until the battery charging screen at least.
Wait i just tried to plug it in again.
Now flashtool gives me this
07/022/2015 13:22:00 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
07/022/2015 13:22:00 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
however if i unplug it and replug it it doesnt detect it before i pull out the battery and put it in again. Holding either volume up or down doesnt do anything still, gives same message and doesnt go into fastboot or flashmode

That's... Interesting. And Flashtool just stays like that until you unplug it? It doesn't lose the connection (device disconnected) or anything like that? If it does lose it, it could be a battery issue...

... OK, I don't know what kind of black magic was used on that phone to screw it up like this, but it sounds like something's off in the battery circuit (just guessing). I'm not sure that's even fixable, but it couldn't hurt to try a mobile repair shop. Who sold you something this broken, anyway? eBay?

i dont know who they bought it from but yea seems like something with either the usb connector circuit and maybe buttons. The battery voltage is okay. Reading 3.5V and specified 3.7V on the battery so that should be eliminated as a problem

Nah, I didn't mean the battery itself, I meant (as you said) the connector circuit between the port, the battery, and the motherboard. You can try opening it up, see if there's anything you can do, but apart from a repair shop, I don't see what else can be done to save it. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.
Good luck. ?

Any other suggestions maybe? Hopefully?
Upon further investigation, it appears that some of the back screws and the plasic in the edges behind the rear cover, is damaged. It appears as though someone has opened the phone previously and been unable to make it function again afterwards and then sold it online to get rid of it.
So ill open it up and check the insides of it, then give an update if there are more issues!

Xperia Z confusing problems, please Help me.

Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).
I read about 5 Million forums and got in contact with flashing my device. First i tried it with the Companion (no success), later with flashtool (no success).
All i have to say is that, i dont even now if my screen is working, i easily come in fastboot/flashmode and i'm definitly at the end of my possibilities. I need someone's help, and if you say my phone is completely damaged, then please say, so i can stop working on this matter and sell it!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the long read.

Are you sure ? Because i followed a video and it was very easy.. but somehow you could be right. I will check another video and going to do it again. Thanks for your advice.

Maybe motherboard got damaged or check the connections
I checked again my inner phone and, okay im new in fixing phones, but it seems to me that nothing got damaged, everything looks fine, the flex bands don't look different as they are shown in the videos. The connections are 100 % connected. But i have to admit: New battery -> not working, check connections -> all are stable , PC companion repair -> nothing. After all i think i destroyed something but i cant figure out what. On Monday i'll go to a repair shop and let them check what's the issue. If somebody has another idea, please let me know, i will try to repair it then.

Hey thanks for answering! As i mentioned in my starting post, my PC detects my phone without any problem. I also used PC Companion to repair my phone. So i dont think it's a software matter. Also Flashtool detects my phone, i could even install a new software.
But i gave my phone today to a repair shop, they'll analyse the problem... for 20€.
I'll tell you what exactly is damaged in a few days if somenone has the same problem like me.
I destroyed the Display Connector. Sold my phone for around 40 euro. -.-
