[Q] Z1 wont boot, 3 short vibrations

I have Z1 with latest stock firmware.
Yesterday My phone suddenly went off (could be went to empty battery) and won't start.
If I plug it to changer - screen lights up, shows SONY logo, then charging indicator and screen goes black after like 15s.
Clicking Power button forces phone to vibrate 3 times briefly, with led off. After a few seconds - led goes red, sony logo shows up, charging indicator.
I cant do anything else, without changer I cant even get these 3 vibrates.
----
In the past a few times I was unable to start the phone with some chargers, if batter have been emptied, looked like they were too week to provide required current (on of them was 0.7A), but changing chargers usually helped to boot the phone. This time - it doesn't :/
Any ideas?

Can you get into flash mode?

Seems like semi brick
Read the gides they are tons of them

Leave it on a mains charger for 24 hours then try again. If that doesn't boot it, then flash a stock FTF or force a software repair on PCComapnion

I'll try to do software repair on PCComapnion. Looks like a good tutorialtalk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Ion/Detailed-Software-Repair-Instructions-using-Pc-Companion-Windows/td-p/249946?
Does this 3 short vibrates has some special meaning?
----
I just noticed some fog under camera lenses, I have no idea how it got here :/
I've read that back cover is glued to the phone. Is it possible that this glue layer got faulty and let water in because phone was overheating? E.g. playing some games was cousing it to get really hot.

No.
But I don't know if my phone is off, or just screen is blank. But after pushing off button (the red one next to SIM), holding volume down and plugging to PC - nothing happens.
Sometimes windows tells me that malfunctioned USB device was connected :/

Download flashtool by Androxyde. Search an good ftf and download it into the firmware folder from flashtool. Your phone must be powered off now. Open flashtool and click the lightning icon. Select flashmode and load the firmware. Wait till a new window appears and then press volume down. Hold it and plug in the micro usb cable from your pc to your phone. Flashtool now flashes the firmware and your phone is probably working fine again! Did you have any backups? I often backup my phone to prevent data loss in this kind of situations! Hope this works for you!

Yes, it shutting Down. To be sure just keep pushing Volume UP + Power Button and when you will feel 3 vibration then you can be sure the phone is completely off. Hold Volume down and plug into PC, you phone should be recognize in Flashmode.

I took it to warranty service, apparently they had to replace main board :|
As far as they told me, they tried to reinstall software, but it failed.
Now I have Andorid 4.4 (was this already officially released for Z1 wordwide?)

My z1 totalled itself overnight... left on charge overnight and took it off charge and... nothing.. totally dead.. tried everything. . All of the button combinations even the red reset button but nothing. . No lights showing no vibration. . Have had to take it in to Vodafone for a repair.. I really am disappointed with this fone... I wont get it back until at least 6th May!.... wish I had waited for the m8 instead of getting this pile of junk...

Z1 vibrates three times and turns off! TRY THIS!
My friend, it happened with me and in my case I am sure it was caused by water even with the covers closed properly the water goes where it shoud not go. After my phone died I put It to charge and the sony logo appeared and started to charge normaly but when i tried to turn it on the phone would vibrate 3 times and start all over again on the charging screen.
The only solution was to use a hair dryer, First step: take your sim card and memory card out of the device sou the air can circulate better. Now use the hair dryer in the hot mode, becareful not to damage getting it too close to the phone but know that it should get hot enough to vaporize the water inside so it has to get a high temperature.
Move the hair dryer heating all sides of the phone and inside where you opened the covers. I had to do it for a long time to make it work again. the phone is working fine now, just as it was before.
Dont believe sony about been waterproof, it can become an expensive nightmare, only use in water if you really need, many people are having problem even with covers well closed and if you still do it, make sure you don´t press the power or volume buttons under water.
I hope it works for you!!

Yes! Exactly, at least about the not-really-water-proof part... Happened to my gf's Z1. We left the phone in rice for a whole 24 hours and that did it for us... A little less agressive than the dryer, but same cause/result.
EDIT: grammar

Xperia z water damage

Somehow water got inside my xperia z
I reflashed stock after it connected to my pc in flash mode cos it wont turn on my device
Now my phone switches on in safe mode, there is mist in on the camera so the picture comes foggy, some defect in the volume buttons
Will this resolve itself by soaking it in rice ,some drying up efforts or should i take it to a service centre?
Update ;
Now when i connect to pc. it gives me red led and 3 vibrations

Got resolved by itself. I put in rice for a few hours

[Q] Power Button isn't working correctly anymore

Hello,
after the touchscreen of my Sony Xperia Z broke down, i decided to repair it by myself with an old Sony Xperia Z, which was damaged by water. So I took the battery and mainboard of the phone with the broken touchscreen and put it in the phone with the water damage. All worked fine, and the phone is working, except for the power button. If I press the button only for a moment, the phone goes to sleep, but the screen pops up again a few seconds after. Sometimes also the shutting down menu pops up.
So my question is if there is a way to repair that by myself (maybe I damaged a cable), or if I should go to a repair shop?
Thanks for answers.
P.S. Sorry for my english, I am a non native speaker.

Could it be that I damaged the Flux cables which are under the battery pack, when I tried to put the battery out?

Z3 Compact won't turn on

Hi, hope someone can help:
I was using my Z3 compact and the volume went down by itself, it then turned its self off. When I went to turn it back on I get 3 buzzes and nothing. After a while it is totally unresponsive to any of the suggestions on here e.g. hold power and volume etc. If I plug it in to charge, I get the red light and I go through the start procedure and it flashes up with Sony, goes into the charge screen but then the 3 buzzes again. I did manage to get it woking once for about 5 minutes but the volume turned down again and I kept getting the volume slider across screen until it shut down again.
Thanks

So? We don't have Z3 Compact.

Hello superstretch35,
Have you ever submerged the phone in water? I've heard about a plenty of users that's been having said symptons after their phone was damaged by water getting inside of the phone.

Asus Rog Phone 2 Dead Fix

Arkadaşlar, telefonun kronik sorununa çözüm buldum, şarj sırasında kapanıyor, 90 fps veya 120 fps'de ekran kararıyor, site sırasında kapanıyor. Türkiye'de yaşıyorum. anakartta bulunur. Pm8150 ic yongasını değiştirmek sorunu çözer. Garantisi olmayan arkadaşlar için mükemmel bir fırsat. telefonu çöp olmaktan kurtarın. ve gereksiz masraf veya yazılım çözümleri aramayın. Ben artık denemedim. tek çözüm bu.

I have my phone completely dead, while playing Pes mobile in the middle of the match, sounds beep (around 10 seconds) screen stuck, then phone completely black out, cant turn it on back, tried everything like vol-up + vol-down button and power button but its nothing , its so painful
does this pm8150 chip will help me bro?

man, I do not understand exactly what you said. When playing games, if it freezes, the screen turns off, or if it turns black and turns on again, the problem is the pm8150ic integrated circuit that controls the power voltage. When you change it, the problem disappears. and very cheap.

Friends, I found the solution to the chronic problem of the phone, turning off during charging, screen blackening during 90 fps or 120 fps, turning off during site. I live in turkey. located on the motherboard. Replacing the pm8150 ic chip solves the problem. An excellent opportunity for friends with no guarantee. save the phone from being trash. and don't look for unnecessary expense or software solutions. I haven't tried anymore. that's the only solution. Anyone can solve the problem with living in turkey also found Fixit Technology Kadikoy. Enjoy it.

Sir.. what kind pm8150 ic chip.. i found 3 kind.. pm8150.. pm8150a.. pm8150b.. etc..
My rog phone 2 always shutdown it self.. thanks

I highly Suggest to go back to your stock Firmware and after installing firmware do a factory install and hold your feelings for few days and use your mobile without root. Test if problem persist.. then go for Hardware repair.

Pm8150b

PM8150B-102A
After replacing this IC , you need to add thermal paste
so the main problem why this ic can be damaged is caused by excessive heat.
I tried to replace this IC without adding thermal paste and the age of this ic is only 1 month more
but after i changed and added thermal paste rog phone 2 no problem until now (6 months).
I hope my experience helps.

while i was charging Phone suddenly shuts off no power not charging.
When i tried to do a hard reset and connect the charging its just giving me blinking red light.
How to fix this?
