Today I went to a shop in town, I saw two person who do noise because that their phone (Xperia x8) does not charge, and second time it came to warranty, so it's something hardware.

maybe turning off ur x8 and charge will help.

THANKS

Soft Brick?

I was flashing my Xperia T with flash tool and there was an error. Now I can't turn on my phone. The red led is blinking while trying to power it on. Vol up + power on also doesn't work (red led blinkinking). When connecting to pc flashtool stops on "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode". What can I do?

First try to charge it for a few hours to see if it comes back, then you can try to repair via PC Companion or flash again

Already tried that and it's the same.

Yur battery is empty. You need to recharge. So open phone take battery out and charge it external. When battery is full just flash normal.
That is the reason why you should only flash if battery > 50%

He has a T so the battery is not removable....(Not without difficulty anyway)
Just leave it plugged in for several hours, or even better overnight. That should do it, and if it does not, then try and remove the battery

Now the red led is switching on/off every few minutes while on charger.

Just leave it it will boot soon

I have opened the back cover, disconnected the battery and after few minutes i have put the phone on charging. Red light appeard but after a while it went off again so i have measured the voltage. It's going from around 3.08V (red led off) to about 3.25V (red led on) and after that point red led is off, the battery is discharging and the process starts again. What can I do?

when did you do this?
Did you follow the advice above? In all cases I have heard of this leaving the phone on charge for 24 hours has fixed it. Plug it in, leave it alone, come back tomorrow and try to turn it on. (Maybe even hole power and volume up together untill it vibrates 3 times and then turn on)

Yes, I was charging it more than 24h and it was the same. I think I need to charge the battery external.

give it a go, and if you have the battery off you may even try and change it.

Thats what i told you. You cannot leave it charging. Chargemon is a software which can only start idf ROM is ok.
Just takr out battery and buy a cheap chinese external charger. I know R has builtin battery but it is no problem at all.
You REALLY have to charge it with external charger or another Phone with working software

i'm not sure (one of my friend said its the cable issue),,.. i tried this,, let it drain until 0% , then recharge normally with charger , i got it work for sometime,,, then it happen again when i connect to the PC..

Drain your battery until it shutdown and charge your phone fully without turning on your device and goto CWM,advanced and wipe battery stat and rebbot your phone continue charging to 100%.
Or
Use universal charger for charge your battery
Or
It may be the problem from the current custom ROM so undo back to fresh eclair 2.1 or try other ROM
Or
Maybe the problem of the cable try another cable
Or
Buy a new battery
THERES SOO MUCH WAYS TO TROUBLESHOOTING!

i made restore to my last well worked rom, also nothing changed
i have to mention that the usb cable i used last time i felt electricity at it's end, so i can guess that there may be a problem with the charging socket ..

To me it seems like it is a sudden death problem.... You should send it to sony for repair.

Does the LED blinks bright red? If so, it could be either battery problem or hard brick...
For battery problem, charging the phone while turned off for a few hours should fix it. But then you said you had charged it for almost a day. Most likely a hard brick..... Sony would just charge you hundreds of $$ for swapping the motherboard...

Is it possible that the phone has been hard brick even it wasnt rooted at all? Yeah i try to bring it to sony center they say that it is a software problem. if its a software problem maybe they will just flash the stock rom on it. I am trying to fix it but no luck....

It may be possible, because Xperia V's battery problem is really widespread. The voltage control inside the battery can be easily fried after prolonged overheating (yes I learnt it the hard way) and XV is very prone to overheating.
My XV's battery died after a night of continuos overheating caused by normal charging... then the phone would suddenly turn off without any warning. The problem gets worse each day and only disappears when I bought a new battery.
I would suggest trying a new battery pack and see if it fixes... because if you do bring it to Sony, they would charge you insane amount of $$ if it's no longer covered by warranty

Don't worry mate, as long as you have warranty they won't charge you. If it will cost you anything they will give you a cost estimate

Sudden Death?

I left my phone overnight with low battery, the next morning, the phone can't be turned on with only red led charging, very similar to Xperia Z's sudden death.
First day, I was able to charge it and power it up to the CM boot animation.
Then I wasn't able to charge it, however can enter fastboot mode, but not flash mode.
The first night, somehow I can charge it and I left it charged over night.
Second day, out of nowhere, I can enter flashmode for once, but cannot flash any .ftf because some errors with loader.sin. After I unplugged my phone, I can't enter flashmode back again.
And now, whenever I plugged in my phone to wall charger/laptop usb, my phone red led is blinking for about 3s and then off for about 30s. Can't enter flashmode/fastboot whatever...
Is this the sudden death like other xperia z? But I've left my phone battery went to 0% several times before and I never had this problem until now....
Someone please share your thoughts and help me in this.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

I think your phone is totally bricked.

I'd hate to believe that it's hard bricked...
I was still able to enter flashmode, even though only once in many tries..

Try flashing a stock/custom kernel IMG through fastboot, charge it up, see what happens. If necessary, flash a whole ROM - try the AOSP Lollipop yuga port we have, it's meant to be flashed via fastboot.

I flashed my previous working nightly kernel via fastboot before, and the device still failed to bootup.
I didn't flash ROM because the device can't even bootup (ought to be kernel fault or some other unknown problems)

Hmm. Try replacing the battery, maybe? Highly unlikely to work, but I got nothing else. I brick my phone on an almost weekly basis, and I've never come across a problem like yours. ?

I think so too. may be battery has past its life. or could be kernel issue. If you able to flash stock kernel or any other then are you not able to power on keeping the phone connected to charger instead of powering up on battery?

Currently I kept plugging in my phone, hoping for that just one time that it might be connected in flash mode, then I can flash a stock kernel+ROM to try out.
On another note, from what I see, it might not be battery issue because I can't boot up the phone on charger without battery. I'm supposed to be able to do that right?

See if your battery's shape is changed or not i.e it is curved.
Normally battery is flat and you cannot spin it on a smooth flat surface. This is a good sign and your battery is in good condition
But if you battery is spinning then it is little bit curved so chemicals inside are not able to create reaction need to power the battery. It won't even last 10 mins even After 3 hrs of charging.
What I think is, your battery is damaged, when you go into fastboot or flashmode your battery dies!
Typical condition in humid climate!
Just another suggestion

Yes, the battery is curved. I can't really remember how it was, but I remember it was slightly curved a while ago.
Now I am having problem to find the spare battery to test it out.

Battery sides should be flat if you keep on a table or a flat surface. If you try to spin the battery and it spins then there is a swollen bulge in the middle which suggests that battery has gone bad. The chemicals inside are leaking. You must change the battery before it explodes while charging and totally damage phone circuit and might do some harm to you to.
I removed the battery and tried to power up the phone while connected to wall charger but I couldnt which means ZR cant be powered up without battery.
Check online for original battery or replacements available. :good:

Thanks for confirming that ZR can't be powered up without battery, makes me more confident that it is battery issue.
Will look for battery replacement and come back here with results.
Thanks.

Dear All,
Thank you for all the thoughts, suggestions and solutions.
I managed to find a replacement battery for my ZR and it can be powered up again. Hence all my described issues are due to bad battery.
However my ZR now experiences weird issues after back from grave, like WiFi downlink shoots to max for unknown reasons and random reboots (especially on WiFi, random reboots even happens while charging power off). Prime suspects are: 1. I didn't charge my new battery up to 8 hours before use; 2. I kinda broke my kernel or ROM in my previous attempt to revive my phone.
I'm going to reflash my kernel and ROM, and charge my phone overnight. Will let you guys know if everything is fine.
Thank you so much.

I think its a ROM/Kernel issue coz you won't need to charge a Li-ion battery for long time before first use..it should be done for Nickel Cadmium batteries and not for li-ion..so that might not be the issue

I reflashed my kernel/ROM but still getting random auto shutdown.
Now I can't even boot into my ROM, because the first thing I see before my homescreen is "Powering Down".
Trying to flash the latest nightly.
Any known cause for auto shutdown?
