Completely bricked Xperia Z

I was just playing around trying to move apps onto my new micro sd card. I rebooted several times. But suddenly when I rebooted one more time, the screen turned black. It was supposed to reboot into recovery (CWM). So I tried to turn it on again. Nothing happened. I also tried to press power button + vol up. Nothing happened. No light when charging either. I really really really need some help

Does your phone vibrate when you press power + vol up? Can you get it into flashmode?
If your pc recognizes the phone as qhsusb_dload or something like qloader it's hard bricked and there's nothing left you can do..

Nothing happens, its not vibrating, its not charging, and nothing happens when I plug it into my computer. I am a little bit experienced, so I know what to do if I atleast could get it into flashmode

Does the led flash red if you hold down power and vol up while you plug it into your pc?

No flashing LED, no vibrating, nothing.

I'm afraid to say this but it seems your phone is hard bricked... Try to do a rubber band across it so that the power button and vol up buttons get pressed all the time and plug it into your wallcharger. If that doesn't help bring it to your local sony service centre and let them repair it although they will very likely charge of a service fee.
Good luck mate!

Thank you, I will try that. It is really weird, the last thing I did was pressing the restart in recovery button.

I bricked my phone while trying to unlock bootloader (didnt wait for the command prompt to complete the process) and later my pc was recognizing it as qhsusb_dload. But my volume buttons were working and I used the Sony update service to restore it.

You should leave it for charging for a while and then check, maybe the battery is dead.

It is very possible, frequent restarts eat away alot of battery, and you never know maybe it was on while you saw a black screen thinking it was off.

I'm just saying, I've put my phone into the charger trying to charge it and turn it on. The LED won't turn on when I put my phone into the charger. I also tried the hard reboot keys power + vol up.

Then its probably very hard bricked. You should take it to Sony and let them figure it out.

Did you also try the rubber band method? Putting a rubber band across the phone so that power and vol up buttons are pressed while it is on the charger for several hours?

If you see a flashing blue light, when it is not plugged in, it's because the bootload was entered improperly and is in safe mode. The only way you can fix it, is to do a system wipe via Sony Companion and reinstall stock ROM. It's an Xperias way of bootlooping into a safe mode when it's locked.

Too bad Sony doesn't implement an ADB OTI. Otherwise you could flash ROMs even with factory lock and never brick it.

i am experiencing the same problem right now. hadn't touched the tablet in a couple weeks, i seem to remember turning it off because it was really low on battery and the charger wasn't near. now it is just a black rectangle.. LED never responds, charging doesn't do anything, doesn't show up on ADB or flashtool.
seems like it is some problem with the firmware or hardware since all the android devices i've owned have always charged (with the LED on) regardless of the condition of the software (hell my one x that busted open and the screen doesn't work still charges and hooks up to the computer)
i would love to get this fixed because sony tech support pretty much bent me over today.

Did you try external battery terminal dismount?

HTC One Wont Boot

Last night I plugged my phone in when it was at 9%. Woke up this morning and it was dead.
Steps Taken:
1. Tried 6 other chargers (including a tablet charger)
No luck​2. Held down Power+Volume Down
Boot menu loaded. Tried to "Reboot". No luck.​Went into Boot again, tried charging it and it said "Fastboot AC" Left it at this for almost 45 minutes and tried booting but thing.​3. Plugged into a computer and nothing.
4. Tried the Light + Sensor + Power/Volume trick.
5. Computer recognizes it as (Android 1.0)
Cannot plug it into a desktop with Sync Manager due to at work ATM​6. Tried holding power.
7. Tried power + Volume Up
I'm very stuck at this point.
I have no LED's, no home button lighting up. Phone isnt getting warm on a charger like usuall. Need some help please.
PS I read multiple threads on not powering on and did all the tricks I can. From what I've read they all could get nothing out of the phone where as I had something in the begining.
Phone is stock. It was rooted, but I have it back to stock now.

Alright new update.
Plugged the phone into the computer. Installed HTC Sync Manager. Held down Power + Volulme down. The computer beeps as if new device connected. I hit the power button again and the phone disconnects from the computer. Could this be a fault display or bad board?

does the device manager on windows show:
QHSUSB-DLOAD mode ????
Qualcomm Highpeed USB Download Mode
if yes... it's pretty much a bricked device... if you're on stock... just return it..
even if it was rooted they won't be able to boot it up either... and so they won't see if it was rooted..

I once heard about a guy that had a similar problem like you...
he said that he charged his phone for ~10 Minutes and then pressed the power button for more than 90 seconds... this resetted his charging mode (or something similar) and his phone worked again... I'll link you the thread if I find it again...
try this once

Tried this. HTC Also told me to try something new.. Charge the phone for 15 minutes. Hold down the Power+Volume UP+Volume DOWN for 2 minutes (Or untill the screen lights up). This will reset the battery memory.
This did not work...

xperia z not turning on...SUDDEN DEATH???!

hi all,
so i woke up today, took note of something via small notes app on the phone.
went back to sleep with the phone on the charger.
i wake up, try to turn the screen on (LED light indicated full charge with green light), & the screen does not turn on! i figure my hand was blocking the light sensor so i make certain my hand isnt in the way, & try again, still not response. next thing i do is hold the power button & volume rocker up but all this does is turn the phone completely off(no more green led)!
since then i have been trying, & trying to do the reset of vol up + power with no results.
im afraid the phone is dead, & i have to purchase a new one, but im hoping that there is a last resort tactic i may use to revive the phone.
thanks in advance.
:good:

may someone be kind enough to help?
or to point me to proper thread.
ive searched & only results lead to solution which involves pc companion which ive tried but it is not recognizing my phone.
thanks

Okay,
Have Googled up a bit.
Keep the phone connected to charger to 5-6 hours and then try starting the phone
This method has worked for some users, see whether it works for you :fingers-crossed:

Pc/seus

Now once is installed click on software update of the phone,and it will say that no device was found,so now click on repair my phone.
Hope that works.

hi guys,
UPDATE !!!
although very odd, & puzzling(im not complaining!!) the phone came back to life on its own.
i had just finished watching television with the family, when i take the phone out of my pocket & just out of hope push the power button when all the sudden i felt a faint(but lovely) vibration!! a few secs later the logo screens showed, & the phone booted up as normal.
needless to say i am certainly happy the phone is working.
MOST IMPORTANTLY id like to thank those that took the time from their lives to reply to my call for help. It is HUGELY appreciated!
thanks again. :good::good::highfive::highfive::good::good:

[Q]Phone is dead or ...? need help to decide.

A friend brought me the phone. When charging from the adapter to the phone logo LG. The buttons do not respond. When I connect the phone to the PC, it does not see it 3 times on 3 reboots and gives the msg "After removing and reattaching battery, press power key to reboot and keep using phone". These manipulations do not give any result. If you pull out the battery and connect the phone to any key (VOL-) button to a PC the starts vibrating motor at different speeds.
Question. Phone died or bootloader or something else, there are options to do something at the home or just service center.

You have to plug it powered off with volume - button pressed. If it is still unrecognized than try another computer, helps for me.

i tried 3 pc. phone only vibrates with different speed. ((

any ideas???

give us some details ...what rom you use kernel etc

Try to flash kdz via that tutorial:

Important: You will wipe all data.
Note: If you can't get sw upgrade screen, you just geting some green stripes or similar try without removing battery,that was in my case, just left battery inside phone trough all process.

My 5 cents are on that your volume - button is stuck (or the phone thinks it is) being held, hence you enter "lg service mode" when you plug it into computer.It would also explain the reboots with vibrations.
Make sure that it isn't the case, other than that I think you should take it to a service center

Don't you have to remove the battery, hold the power button, then plug in the USB cable while still holding it (release after S/W comes up) in order to make the phone boot into S/W mode? In the video you just plug the USB in and put battery back in a bit after.
I suggest you try different methods of booting into S/W and also try different flashing methods to re-flash the stock firmware.Should these fail, you should get it to a LG service center.
Also is that a crack on your micro sd reader or is it just a scratch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYic7b6dwS0#t=10 ?
Did your phone receive any damage physically? Can you tell me what exactly happened to it?

Try to connect your phone to PC while pressing on vol. Up
And wait for blue light
If you see blue light ....
You have a chance
Note: be sure that your drivers installed on PC
