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.

Hello guys,
I just rooted my Xperia Z and flashed this ROM on to my Xperia Z: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262905
After flashed I clicked reboot system now on CWM. However, the phone didn't restart. After a minute, I turned it on myself but the screen would not come on, it was totally blank. I connected it to the charger (it's in charging now) and a RED LED keeps flashing.
What should I do? Please help .
Also, like a dimwit I didn't backup my phone so please give me methods to back it up in it's current state just in case any methods you guys recommend delete the data on my phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
raheem

Well done.
hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
I am indeed sorry to post it on Z forums but I had no other option as I was getting no support on this in ZL forums.. can anyone help pls?

Try rerooting, failing that flash your backup or start from scratch.

Hi I humbly ask for your help for my xperia V, Its my first time to use android and my current phones are iPhone and Blackberry and never had issues like this.
My xperia V phone is not rooted and has the updated firmware of 9.1.1A something. Hongkong Phone, Has the updated firmware from the box, so everytime I restore/factory reset, no need for updates.
My problem is my phone keeps crashing and restart like crazy 2-3 days ago. I downloaded an app named 'Root External 2 Internal SD' without even realizing my phone is not rooted because its my first time. And after that maybe the crashes started, everytime I restart, restore, my phone is just the same nothing changes. Restart after 1-5 mins and sometimes now crash when I am navigating around. In airplane mode, the phone works great and its not dying or anything, also I can use the phone as an mp3 player, camera, wifi, all good.
I just want an opinion from an expert I will post videos too, if needed.
My questions:
1. Did this app 'Root External 2 Internal SD' killed my phone because it was not rooted?
2. Do I need to root the phone to a fresh new ROM ?
3. If I dont need to root the phone(Warranty is not an issue) How do I restore it fresh from its stock Rom/Old ROM I feel I damaged it because of that application?
Any suggestion will help, please help me!!

There was no error in reset and factory reset because when it finishes up until the menu then it will start crashing. Does battery affect the ROM? Battery is in discharge. Airplane works like a charm. For now I use it like an Ipod touch. Wifi works, gps, all of the other stuff works except on Phone mode.
Im new I cant post screenshots

I have the same problem on Xperia T. I found that it stops reseting with baseband version last digits 57 and just loses the connection. On every other version of baseband it resets or falls in SoD.
I have the same problem in my XV..it works like a charm when it is in Airplane mode.
pls help
