[Q] How can i fully brick my o4x?

hi i would like to know how i can fully brick my o4x so i can send it back for a replacement.i have had this phone for less than 2 weeks and have had nothing but trouble with it.it keeps randomly rebooting sometimes up to 10 times a day i have tried everything to sort it out but to no avail.I know that if i send it back as it is if it does not reboot on them they will just send it back saying there is nothing wrong with it.any help would be greatly appreciated

Which version are you using with your mobile ( v10c , v10e , v10f , v10h ) ?

at the moment v10f but have also tried v10a and v10h

Doesn't work! I tried to brick mine in all possible ways I could imagine, and the far that I get was a screen with the LG symbol and under "error!!! Check morning call". I never lost the access to ARS...

Ask kholk, he seems to have done it.

if its under a month old, you can take it back to where you brought it for a new one, they cant refuse under a month

This is how i bricked mine abut didnt get a new one. only got it fixed : put it under my pillow before going to sleep. woke up the next morning to surf the internet, and the screen was black, and the phone was hot as fire sent it back to get it fixed, and it showed that the head card was replaced, so they didnt find out that it was rooted ether

I saw a blue screen

this morning when i unlocked my phone i saw blue screen for 0.1s before it turned to pattern unlock...it happened twice, never saw that before today...

No idea what causes it but I get it sometimes too. It happens on my phone once every 3 weeks or so..... it's strange.
Im on Perseus kernel.

thanks for replying. i am on stock kernal. is this relate to crt off animation?

To be honest I have absolutely no idea what it relates to. It happens so infrequently to me I haven't ever been bothered by it or tried to figure out what it was.

I get this as well, and I'm on completly stock and unrooted so I wouldn't worry about. I thought it was just because I used widget locker but obviously not.

Same here! This morning for the first time.
Completely stock phone, XELLA H3G. I bought it 2 months ago
Strange

It happened to me too for 3/4 times over last few months. My I9300 S3 is close to its 7th month. I can tell that thing had not happened until last few months. I have crt-off.

I used my i9305 for about 8 weeks and saw the blue (and sometimes green) screen sometimes for just a sec when i unlock the screen.
Unfortunately this handset died on monday afternoon. Hope this is only a bad coincidence.

Hi,
Don't worry about that....See a Blue screen can give a bad feeling (mainly to Windows user...)
But nothing to compare with BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) you can get when Windows crash

Completely dead. No boot, no download mode, no recovery. Had to bring it to my service provider, but they change it without any problems. Hope I will get the new one back today.

Other two times today...first yesterday.
Hoping this will not be a new strange issue causing SoSD or similar!
Atm no other strange problems
I'm on XELLA (H3G)
Handset bought on Dec 21

Can`t turn my Xeperia Z on

Hi,
i got my Xperia Z yesterday and already have a problem. Yesterday in the evening i listened to some audible content. I didn´t turn off the app, because it goes in sleep mode after finishing the downloaded part. I had stamina mode active. Today my phone doesn´t react. It is off the screen is dark. I can push the powerbutton how i want, the phone doesn´t react. I tried to recharge it, because i thought the battery was completly empty, but i don´t even have the led active which is normally active when you plug in your phone.
Does anybody have had the same issues? And can give me a hint what to do? Otherwise i will have to change the device tomorrow. It´s my first sony, so perhaps there is a trick with it i don´t know.

Take it back.

Hardware reset combination...similar to a battery pull for devices with user changeable batteries.

Can some1 check temps?
Might be a safe mode of sorts due to overheating?
Sounds like this is a common issue on the forums.

i don´t think its because of overheating. Today it was two times in sleepmode for a bit longer, and after both i had to restart it with the method mentioned above. I think it is a software failure. Maybe something with the staminamode. I will switch the staminamode off and wait if it happens again.

I imagine a small firmware update will fix this. Be sure to report it to Sony every single time it happens.

Yes, i will do that. Bsides this bug, i´m very satisfied with the experia z, even with the battery life.

You don't have choice if the phone freezes
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Ever since they introduced non-removable batteries with XS ( and I still have a bone to pick with Sony regarding that choice ), they introduced a hardwired phone reset/shut down combination that is accessed via volume up+power button, that apparently by the sound of this thread, still functions the same as it did with S.
I've had my Xperia S freeze in middle of something ( can't remember what ) after it went to standby mode, and the only way to fix it is either to wait for your battery to die, or to manually reset the phone via volume up+power button combo.
It's safe to perform as much as you'd like, it just resets the phone or shuts it down, depending on how long you keep it pressed. It saved my Xperia S from water damage on one occassion, although I guess I won't have that problem with Z.

The same thing happens with my nexus 4.. Its somewhat related to hardware I guess. Cos xperia z and nexus 4 are very simpilar in case of hardware. around 10% people are facing such problems on nexus 4. Its a hardware problem I guess..

Repair it with Sony Update Service.

Updated 4 days back
Build no 10.1.1.A.1.253
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app

Try a factory reset. But before that check if rebooting solves the problem. I had a display issue which was fixed by a reboot.

not telling you to update, "repair it"

Using different chargers is the cause.
Use the stock charger with stock cable.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

I have the same issue, and I don't use the stick charger, I imagine the problematic chargers aren't correctly grounded or have some EMI or ESD issues. I haven't tried the stock charger yet to see if it solves it.
Poor move on Sony's part though not making the phone able to handle a poor quality power source correctly.

before i used to charge using the car charger. at my cousins place i used a htc charger for 4-5 days.
from later on im using the stock charger itself..
did i restart .. no use..
same issue... i selected show touch from development options..
im able to see the responses.. this occurs only sometimes , may be every 7/10.
just a single touch and the whole line gets multi touched.
for ex- i try to type "hie" , i get something like "ghjuioert" some times even bigger messages.
no difference even after a rebot.
should try factory reset. (long process backup download etc ).
any other options ?..

im using the stock charger...
tell me how to repair it...

With pc companion or sony update service.

Hi dude !
I remember to have this problem on my Xperia Neo.
While charging the touchscreen was unresponsive like touching on one side was like touching on the other side, apps opening randomly, lots of bugs. But didn't happened always, only sometimes.
I never figured out what could be and I don't use it anymore.
Maybe you have a faulty unit

[URGENT] Xperia Z Bricked?

Last night I turned my phone off to save battery, as my Nexus 7 was using my charger. Bear in mind it was turned off at about 80-90% battery. Woke up this morning and wanted to check social networks etc. but it didn't turn on. No vibrations, no LED.
Locked bootloader
Latest Android 4.3 update (.569)
Not rooted.
Not sure whats happened but I really need my phone and it's an emergency.

Tried that and nothing happens. Took out SD card and SIM, still nothing. No vibrations no matter what I do, I'll be taking it back tomorrow.

I tried connecting it to my PC, nothing happens and flashmode/fastboot won't start. My Dad took it to my carrier while I was at school and he said they just turned it on with a special button combination which I'm un aware of. Phone works fine now.
