Water damage file recovery - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I'm a pretty avid Motrolla user but as far as Sony goes I'm batting in the blind.
So i did some searching around amd couldnt find much. The GF's phone got water damage (was at beach taking pics of crabs i tide pools) well the other day the USB flap came off. I was able to fix it though. The phone does have comfirmed water damage (after searching finally found where the water damage pads were) and the USB one is red. Now we went to t-mobile. Lucky the guy was a iPhome guy and didnt know where the tabs were so we played dumb and said we were just takings pics then it wouldnt rotate and stopped working. The symptons from what i heard are same exact as if a system update failed. Press power button you get one vib and then 3 more. Plugging into power or pc gets a red light followed by 3 vibs then light goes off and repeats.
Now we already have a new on on the way under warranty but shes never backed up her phone (she came from a iPhone and didnt listen to me about backing her phone up regulary like i do). Now my question is there a way to force it to fastboot or something so i can at least see if i can pull her photos off the phone?
If not no big deal. Shes learned her lesson. If we can then great and thank you.

No SD Card. This morning it was weird. I was able to boot it up. Worked fine but she had to leave for a 3 day trip for work and i had to leave for work. I was at least able to make sure all her contacts were saved to the SIM card (Don't know why they weren't being backed up to GMail. Again i'm a motorolla user and the contacts/people settings are different. It was set to sync the contacts but i know in my phone there is a setting to make the contacts either Phone or Gmail contacts and couldn't find that but either way they are saved.
Now i couldn't charge it or connect it to the PC at all. So i was able to use ES File Explorer and browse to my PC Share and start coping over her pictures and i got like 800 Megs of 9 Gigs and thats it. Came home and same issues. Try to power it on. One Viberate then 3. Plug in power. You get red light on, 3 vibs, red light off repeat. Gonna try to let it set again. maybe take a blow driver or compressed air to it.

When I had problem like you, 3 times blinking red flash.
Problem was that battery is completely depleted, and it needs to be charged (in my case 1 hour) before my phone gave any sign of life. Try to let it on charger.

the one time i got it to turn on it was over 80% charged. I read about leaving it plugged in regardless of what it does, but yesterday when i had it on all day i had it plugged it (well not sure how long it was on but it was plugged in for almost 12 hours) when it was on and i plugged it in it gave no indication of it being charged.

So decided to crack this sucker open. This is what I saw.
As you can see there is some pretty bad corrosion. I tried to clean it up the best i could but still no go. Just tossed it back together and consider it a lost cause.

Ugh, that looks really bad.

Did you insert the sim card properly? Did you force it on its way in?
It is posiboe that you bent the pins that read the sim card, and caused a short circuit. That's you worst case scenario, though.
Try to connect the phone into flashmode, holding volume down and then plug the USB in while still holding volume down. Does the PC recognizes it? If so l, there is hope, you can try and restore the firmware from there using Sony Update Service.
Umm, i was trying to connect to pc like that, hold volume down and connect, nothing happens. Only when i connect cable to pc or to other energy sources, its red light shining about 5-8seconds, and its gone. When i put it in to wall source(i dont know how its called) it starts to tick sometimes, i mean red shine, nothing, red shine nothing, and all hour, and sometimes red light 5-8secs and its dead. Well i dissamblied my phone now, i dont see any burst parts, everythings looks okay, what should i do? Maybie try to check with power checking screwdriver where power is "walking around" ?
the battery is depleted. you need a wall charger with minimum 2 Amperes output
I would try the same,very good hint

The corosion can take many months after the phone taking water. Anyway next time just start by that point, and buy a new phone if your phone has take water.
Thank you for help dudes, i got luck that i pay for phone insurance, i got new working phone for free. Thank you for trying to help, another z is dead, because of water. NOTE : Dont believe of any waterproofs phones, because i just had it , and it died after 2months of using
People the phone is water RESISTANT. Nobody said you should go diving with it, dunk it in a glass of beer, or spray it with a hose. It's meant to withstand emergenices like spills and quick drops in water.

You should put that on your signature. You cannot be more correct. People goes nuts with the phone, "I will take my phone to some snorkeling", "I'ma bring mah phone to the river rapids", "I'm going to take underwater pictures", etc, etc, etc.

i just made a post regarding this earlier tonight = / and the car mode is now happening to me now. I called htc support like 5 hours ago and they were absolutely no help at all. "reboot your phone into safe mode" did that "is the problem still occurring?" why yes it is still not charging when on... then they say it must be a hardware problem and to use my warranty and thanked me for my patience and please continue using htc.
I dont know why they have tech support that does not know how to support a recent common occurring problem. I don't even mind the warranty phone as much but i just took a ton of photos and videos the last month and i cant even back them up to my computer now.

Hey after reading through that other thread i did what they said about turning off the developer options and fast boot and it seems to be charging when plugged into the wall but it still will not connect to the computer. Also seems like the car mode is not turning on any more and after resetting it a few times earlier the apps do not open in landscape. So the only issue that remains is the usb connection to the computer although the whole situation is still ridiculous and i do not know how htc wants to pass it off as a hardware issue = / if you find a solution please let me know.

After I restart my phone by pressing volume down key and power key with charger plugged in, it starts to charge and also charge when connected to pc but pc wont detect it. No USB drive no syn manager. (note- I dont not enter bootloader by restarting. just leave power and volume down key immediately after screen is off, else u will get in Bootloader.)
I cant even root.
Any way I think i will sell this phone if no problem occurs.
Regards,
Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"
Yeah idk now my phone seems to be working fine but yesterday I list sound for like 10 hours so I just called my carrier and they are sending me a new one. Hope you manage to get a decent amount of cash for your phone man

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.
I had the device on service when they updated firmware, run what ever tests they run and tried to charge it. All tests passed and I got it back. Everything seemed ok but day two the phone refused to charge again. Back to the store again where they also tried to charge but (luckily enough) got the same result as I.
It seems like if the battery is totally drained, the device starts charging after some while. Before it starts charging as it should, the red light goes on and off for some time.
I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC One. It does not change until it's fully empty and turned off. Then it does change. The orange LED blinks 5 times and after that it start blinking very slowly.
I sended my phone on repair. True a webportal Im able to see any progression. I noticed they also uploaded a photo, see attachment.
It clearly seems to be missing a small element on the motherboard. (near the arrow). What I find weird thought, is that it seems to be the head of the phone and not the bottom near the USB port.
They also had some trouble opening the device as you can see between the two white stickers on the bottom of the phone. I'll keep you posted on any progression...

It didn`t always start charging. Sometimes I have had to plug the connector in 10 or 20 times before anything happened. Otherwise it did not start charging until the battery was completely drained.
Everytime it does not charge, the little icon in the left corner tells me that I should connect a supported device.
I sent a question to HTC support about the problem and got the recommendation to send it to a repair center (where it already is) and they actually gave an answer on my question if HTC are aware about the problems. The answer was "We know about it and work on a solution".
Interesting if that actually is true and not just a too quick answer from someone that wanted to close the case at the a technical support.
Has anybody else asked the question?
Any one having charging and USB problem with HTC One had ever charged his/her phone by any other charger (not the charger u get in box) even for once ? I did that all the time !!!
Yeah, I always used a Samsung charger with mine and it works a treat, I just sent mine back to my network provider and they sent it off for repair, obviously, they put it down as a hardware issue and replaced the damaged device with a refurbished device which I don't care about because of rather have one that works than not

[Q] Xperia T Bricked

I got a secondhand Xperia T a couple of months ago. The phone was originally bought in 2012 in Ireland. The phone is now unlocked to any network.
Friday two weeks ago the phone stoped working. What happened was, the battery was on around 15%. By the time i got round to charging it it had gone flat. After plugging it into the wall charger for around half hour the solid red light was on indicating charging but the phone wouldnt turn on. I left it for a while but it was still the same. I notcied that when i pressed the unlock button the screen would slightly light up but no picture. the phone could recieve texts and calls but i couldnt see anything. I took it to my nearest phone specialist. He tried re installing the software but had no luck. He said it was bricked. I then gave it to my uncle who is usually nifty with these sorts of things. He also came back and said it was bricked. I then did some reading of my own and came across the advise to re install soft ware through pc companion. I did that and it said it was successful but the phone was still the same.
Last night i was following the repair thread on here (cant find link right now)
The problem i had was i didnt know witch stock ftf file i need to download or where to download from.
Can someone give me a link to an irish stock ftf and give me a quick run throuhg of how to fix
P.s. This is whats happening with the phone now:
When plugged into the wall charger I get a green light, that goes out after a few seconds then the changes to red and proceeds to charg normally.
Phone still vibrates, and receives calls.
When the on button and + or - vol are pressed it vibrates like its supposed to but then nothing happens
If it still receives calls and you've already used PCC to repair the software and it said successful then its clearly not bricked... I'd suggest start looking for a replacement screen.

I've had that happen to a laptop a few years ago. Came out of the wintery -10°C outside into the balmy 25°C of a friends home, 2 minutes later I took the laptop iut of the frozen bag and the temp shock was enough to crack the screen.
So yes, it's possible, but with shrinking screen size the probability of this decreases.
I don't know where you're from, but (winter) weather can be an electronics killer. Especially when the device is heating up rapidly after being brought out of the cold into a warm house or car. Rapid temp shifts can lead to cables moving out of their connectors, solder joints cracking and air moisture can condensate and move into delicate electronics
i live in ireland, it is probally 5'c at night in my house where the phone was and it wouldnt be much warmer in the car and then in work, so i dont see that being the problem, especially since it has been colder and had no effect on the phone

Well no its not common, but neither are bricked phones that receive calls, SMS and successfully take a software repair
I stand by what I said but if you want to try flashtool take any stock rom you like just follow the guide. They all have all languages so I'd go for generic CE1 if you want unbranded and CE2 if you want Skyfall theme these are new 4.3 ones. You could even apply a older 4.1 and let it update from that if your region is even out yet.
alright ill try that later then, whats the difference between branded and unbranded.?
also can you link a stock rom for me

[Q] Xperia Z won't turn on. Sudden Death?

Two days ago, my Xperia Z was on 1% battery, so I put it on charge. A few hours later, I go back to my phone, which had now turned off. I couldn't turn it back on, and I've also tried all the reset/hard reset ways. I left it on charge a bit longer (which all in all turned out to be 11 hours), still no success of turning it on. I took the charger out, then put it back in, which resulted in the red indicator light to come on (not flashing) for a minute, then switch off. But I still couldn't turn it on.
The battery is non-removable, which kind of sucks.
I've had my phone for about a year now.
I've read about this Sudden Death thing happening to the Xperia Z phones after the new software update, I don't know how true that is.
Apparently Sony has released a software update which MIGHT fix Sudden Death, but the thing is, because my phone is dead, PC Companion (updates your phone) won't detect my phone for update! So how can that even be possible?
Put a rubber band across it so that power and vol up are permanently pressed. Charge it that way for several hours and try again booting it
Look in the other thread about the same...seems like it has more importance than yours.. Hopefully you will get it working
My advice is just to leave it in the charger for some time... And hopefully it will work at some point

It didn't work, unfortunately.
I eventually sent my Xperia Z to Sony for repair. I have received an email saying that their engineers could not repair it, and have sent out a like for like exchange handset which I should receive in a few days.
that happen to me today, brought it in and there is a reset button right next to the sim card...very tiny, hard to see, use a pin and push it in...should reset afterwards...mine did ...hope that helps
Flash it
Hard reboot your phone and then flash a firmware using Flashtool if required. I have run into issues like this with my Xperia Z few times.

[Q] Help Please - HTC One Water Damage Urgent

Hi Guys,
I know this was a bit of a stupid thing to do but the other day I accidently dropped my phone in to a small amount of water, enough to submerge my HTC One. It was in the water for a second as i pulled it straight out. It seemed to be working Ok still though. It was going a little crazy like when i opened Whatsapp and opened a conversation it would open the persons profile or toggle attachment options and it kept opening the AccuWeather page when i was trying to scroll apps. My speakers and sound was also very faint for a while as well.
I plugged it into my tablet via the USB port the LED light came on and it charged. In the night i woke up and the phone was off, so i hit the power button it came on as normal but was still going a little crazy, so i left it on charge and went to sleep. The following morning i woke up it was still on but still toggling things, i had to keep turning the screen off and then on again to be able to write a message or make a call before it started to toggle other things, but the speakers had gone back to normal and the phone seemed to be sorting itself out. Then while in the middle of a call the battery died and now i cant charge it. It has been on charge and in a bowl of rice all night and it still wont come on, theres now LED light, the computer has stopped recognising it, it said at first an unknown device was plugged into the USB port now it doesnt recognise anythings plugged in.
I really need this phone to come on soon I use it for everything, work, travelling, holding documents etc i really don't want to have to send it away where it will all get wiped, some of the stuff I haven't had a chance to back up yet. Any advice would be gratefully received, if you get it to work I am happy to reward in some way.
Many thanks,
Hollie
It's probably totally fried. The rice trick works best if you turn it off and do it straight away. If you left it too long the water has probably had time to seep through. Sorry I think it has to go in for repair

Not necessarily fried! Take out any takeoutable parts.
Put alll parts in a warm dry place (airing cupboard) and LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A DAY OR TWO.
Many phones have been saved this way.
