Rooted my new phone yesterday and all went well, made all my backups like a good chap.
Now I have a slight issue, when I connect my phone to the PC via a usb cable it does not see it.
Anyone got an idea what I have done wrong. :crying:
TIA

Is usb debugging switched on?

Yes, I'd thought of that hence my post as I'm stumped...
This happens on both my I9300 and i9305. Does it read it as a media device?
You could always try install/update kies and reinstall drivers.

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.

Have you got a old Xperia sitting around? Bring them to us!

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
- C6603
- No LED
- Vo vibration
- Nothing after hours of charging.

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.

U can remove the back cover by using tork screwdriver

Its beacause of oxidation in usb cable that has on it speaker and power button,33 euros to fix even with root,go fix when u have the money,and avoid water when it rains,and use wifi sharing apps so that usb doesnt brake again.USBcable in p970 is problematic i guess.
I have the same problem , i tried to flash CM10.1 from ICS and my phone bricked . When i try to flash stock rom with smart flash tool the phone is not recognized , when i'm in s/w upgrade mode. do you think is a hardware problem ?

I think my problem is because of drops. I dropped this phone like 100 times. Still good. But yeah. Power button dead. Cannot connect as mass storage. Or anything else. But i can charge.

Squeeze the phone hard beside the camera and see if the button works while doing this. Basically squeeze where the USB port is.

Hey guys.. Do any of you know where the USC Connection Mode resides in Settings ?? I've changed the connection mode from MTP to PTP when trying to use Helium and now I can't seem to find the connection mode page where I can change back to MTP.. Usually its under Xperia Connectivity>USB Connectivity, but it's just isn't there.. I have also used the search button in the Settings page but still could not find it..
I think you have messed up your systemui.apk file usually The notification bar shows the Type of Connection ...
But still now Visit Play Store and Install "SG USB MASS STORAGE ENABLER APP"
It will mount your device as MTP again!

I've tried your suggestion but the app requires root, which I don't have.. Any other suggestions ??
Messing up with the SystemUI.apk is one thing, but where on earth did Sony hid the USB Connection Mode page anyway ?? There must be a way to access it..
You must ask that to Sony Corporation too???
Having A Root Access is the only solution I have!!!
If Your Phone is in warranty approach the Sevice Centre!!!

I'm already on the latest .251 firmware.. I doubt any OTA are coming any time soon.. Thought of doing a phone repair via PC Companion but the problem is my PC doesn't seem to detect my phone.. I'll try rebooting both devices to see if it helps..
