[Q] HELP!! Z3Compact Dead - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys my z3c is dead coz of water damage.
The device simply doesn't boot/start anymore..
Tried
Holding the Power + Volume key
Pressing the yellow reset button beside the sim card slot
NO REACTION.
The LED notification keeps blinking continuously when connected via charger or laptop..
The Red LED notification just stays on without blinking when the device is connected partially to laptop.
Is the device bricked?? ( Soft / Hard)
How worse could the device be damaged?
Biggest concern; Is there ANY POSSIBLE way at all to recover the data present in the device's Internal Memory??? :crying:
The mobile is not rooted.. Not unlocked..

try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days to see if it comes back to life

What is the indication of that blinking LED??
Is there any hope of recovering the data without the device coming back to life???

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.

When you hear the three times vibration then you shutting down your phone and after that the phone is turned off completely, then leave it under wall charger via USB or Dock for minimum 4 hours, if it do not turn on then you have to flash a new Firmware OR Repair via PC Companion. Download Official Sony PC Companion and repair your phone. Other way is to use Flashtool and download the latest FTF from Mega Collection and flash it. Then it should turn on.
hi
i have the same problem with my z1 xperia
the pc companion wont see my phone to preform any kind of repair
any ideas
thanks
if nothing is happening just the LED red blinks even when you put the device in the charge, its hard bricked and will be fixed just with opening the phone and relive it with test point ...
maybe this thread will help you:

If it's brick, no prob, let's begin
Requirements:
The latest Flash Tools version, the latest FTF file of your phone, or any FTF file you want
Plug your phone to AC charger for about one or two minutes, and if you see red LED, now your phone is OK
1) If your phone has more than 50 percent charges, you can unplug it
2) If it has less 50 percent, let it charge for about an hour or more till it reaches 70 percent
So, no matter the first way or second, after you unplug it, now you can now connect your phone via USB and flash it
If you do everything correctly and if nothing goes wrong, after flashing, you can use your phone without any problem
If you couldn't do it, inform me to help you more
Look at the micro sd slot. Is there a red stripe? Or white?
If red, it's a water damage

It happened exactly the same with mine. I was on stock rom, and went to the swimming pool with it. But the stripe is white.
I cannot turn it on and only get the red light blinking when is plugged into the charger...

Try the hard brick fix (if you have warranty send to Sony instead). I doubt it'll do anything because it seems by your decription the hardware is damaged physically, but its worth a shot.

Drain your battery completely
By Pressing and holding volume up and power button for 15 second, no vibration dont worry just hold it for 15 seconds and forget your phone for 1-2 days
Get working charger and usb cable check it then connect charger to phone there should be red light
Leave your phone for 3-4 hours
Now disconnect your phone from charger
Again check usb cable and drivers in pc
Open flashtool and get stock ftf ready for flashing
Once the dialog box appears with phone's animation
press and hold just volume down button and connect your phone with pc and immediately Release volume down button as soon as dialogue box disappears
Then disconnect phone when instructed in flashtool and wait for 4-5 minutes
Now try to turn on the phone.
Main thing is to have patience
This should work as i have my phone in same hardbricked state twice and this brought life in my phone back..!
This fixed mine

I hope, your solution works for me too. I ordered a battery and waiting for delivering it. If it won't work, I'll write here to help someone like us who wants to order a new battery.
Edit:
After battery changing, the phone worked. I don't know why, but it had been locked and rebooted repeatedly. Then I resetted to the factory settings. After that, it has been started to run well.

Did you try to push and hold several seconds "turn off" button on the back side of the phone under back cover? This is hardware reset button
and if your phone is not bricked should vibrate 3 times and after that you can try to restart and flash some rom, maybe stock.

Is it completely dry and if it is then do you see sony logo or blue led notification?if sony logo shows up try flashing stock ftf via flash tool
And if blue notification then try to unblock volume up button i thing it is stuck so it puts your phone to fastboot mode when connected to pc hence blue led and when you try to turn on your phone without connecting to pc it hard reset your phone hence three vibration and phone shuts down...
Try unblocking volume up button by pressing hard volume up button many times then connecting to pc until there is no blue light turning on...and after unblocking the button try flashing stock ftf via flash tool...
Be careful not to press it too hard or you will damage your phone..!!
Get phone working again and get it replaced if under warranty to avoid future problems...

Try to connect your phone to PC while pressing on vol. Up
And wait for blue light
