Hey guys,
Havent been here in a long time... Well let me start from the beggining, i hope it wont be too long. I unlocked and rooted a phone a while ago (i think its irellevant), and had been using it since the without messing with anything but usual root stuff(lucky patcher, busybox, auto clicker and such). Today, i dropped it and after that it shut off, coudnt turn it on... I think it had a live vertically once that i was trying to boot it today, but it was sunlight so i am not sure.... When i try to turn it on it vibrates once. When i connect it to the charger it doesn't charge or light up the led. The screen is black all the time so no signs there. When i hold vol up+power it vibrates once and when i hold it for more time it vibrates three times, as it should but nothing comes up. But when i connect the charger, and hold vol up + power it vibrates and lights up red led. Then it stays on even when i disconnect the phone from charger.
I connected the phone to Sony Emma, and flashed KitKat build 10.5.1.A.0.292 but once again after it flashed nothing happened.
And i have also opened the phone back and checked the connections to the board, and they all seem to be fine ...
Should i bury it or is there something else i can do?
Anyone has any ideas ? i somehow managed to get to fastboot and flash mode and tried to flash recovery, custom rom, stock rom (with flashtool)... Nothing seems to work ...

As a preface I'm not rooted and can't unlock bootloader. Completely stock phone.
I decided to try and flash the new JB update via flashtool, but something went wrong: the phone didn't stay in flashmode: I could get into flashmode but a couple of seconds later the LED turned itself off and flashtool froze. I managed to get the phone working after that, I backed up all my stuff to my memory card just in case and tried again. The flash process got a little further but again, it froze, with an error message on the computer saying the usual "flashtool has stopped working". So I tried to turn the phone on, no response. It just vibrates once and the LED flashed green. I then turned to PC Companion in the hope that I could repair back to stock. Similar problem with the flashmode, it just stops after a few seconds. I tried rebooting it with vol up and power button, as well as hard power off. It vibrated 3 times, as it should. But it still doesn't turn on. I've now attached it to the charger but the LED just alternates between green and off every 15 seconds ish. Can anybody advise please?
EDIT: Resolved the problem by simply repeatedly trying to flash stock, eventually realised that connecting the phone without even pressing the vol down resulted in it entering flashmode... odd, but my phone lives once more!
Hi everyone! I've been having some issues with my SP. Long ago, I think it was in March, I updated my phone with AU Generic 4.3 Jelly Bean. It was new at the time and official update for UK had not been released. So, I updated the phone with Flashtool. Until then I've kept receiving updates and last week a new update has been released, I think It was .206 update and the notification told me to connect my phone on the PC, apparently it could only be updated by PC Companion. Anyways, it has started downloading the update, but my phone wasn't connected yet. When it told me to connect it, I did it, and somehow I couldn't update and my phone restarted. And then, while I was trying to figure out what was going on the phone screen caught my eye and it shut itself off. Since then I couldn't be able to turn it on. I tried all the button combinations, including the yellow reset button. No response from the phone. I tried charging it, connecting it on my pc, nothing.. I checked the topics on the internet, I charged it for a long time, 3 days or so.. When I woke up in the morning, red light was lit. I checked it in 4-5 minutes it was turned off. Another five minutes it was on again, then it was of and on and on.. I unplugged it and tried the power button. Red light started to blink. I tried volume + and power button it blinked, volume - and power button blinked again. I tried to plug it on the pc nothing happened. I used hair bungee on the volume - button and tried to use flashmode on flashtool. I waited an hour nothing happened. I took the hair bungee off and tried to connect it without pressing any buttons, I received a notifications sound from windows, it was connected for 2 seconds then disconnected again. So, basically I tried everything but couldn't get any solution. I can't flash it. Anyone knows a solution?

Keep yellow button pushed and somehow manage to keep volume down button pushed and connect your phone to PC
Hey there,
So today I was using my Xperia Z aaaand bam, phone "died".
Battery was at that time 70%, phone was a little bit hot, but in scale of 1 to 10 it was like 6. I had not problems previously with it (besides broken screen that got replaced 3 weeks ago). I was playing a game then suddenly it got closed and my screen got shifted. Like Animation of horizontal menu stucked while going to vertical. I pressed power button many times, I've keept holding it for a short time, long time... nothing. Phone did not respond at all. After 10 minutes it went black. No idea if it went "sleep" or so since power button do not work again.
I tried to reset it with Power + Volume down, Power + Volume up and again, nothing.
I've tried factory reset with Sony Companion but no luck either. Phone is NOT detected by that program.
However, when I plug the phone to PC I hear sound that some device has been found. Phone is presented now as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. I've heard that not a good sign...
When I plug it to PC or Charger nothing happens so I have no idea if phone is getting charged or not.
What even more confusing, when I press power button - nothing, phone is COLD. But when I press Power + Volume down after a while it starts to get warm, after a long time of repeating this really warm.
Any ideas what could I do?
Thanks!

You phone has locked or unlocked bootloader? If unlocked, give a try to enter Fastboot mode and flash any custom ROM

Can you phone enter flashmode ? Does any LED indicator shows up when holding Volume +/- whilst connecting cable in PC (USB)?
2 years ago I was trying to download an app that my Sony Xperia LT30at wouldn't allow me to download. I somehow ended up in the build.prop file changing something, I don't remember what, and when I rebooted, the phone was ina bootloop. I did some research and found out I could fix it with ADB. Well that didn't go well as my phone wouldn't boot into recovery. This phone only has volume+, volume-, both, power, and a dedicated camera button. I have tried resetting the battery by holding volume up and power until the phone vibrates once, doing the same until it vibrates 3 times, which is supposed to do something else, using the normal method of volume down and power to put it in recovery mode, and pretty much every other button combination possible. As for the bootloop, I turn on the phone, and the phones led indicator turns green and the device connects to my computer, then the led goes away, the phone disconnects from the computer, and i see the SONY logo, then after about 5 seconds the phone boots off, and then the whole cycle starts again.
So to recap, the phone is in a bootloop, and also won't boot to recovery, both after editing build.prop (from what i remember.), the phone won't connect to adb, even though usb debugging WAS enabled before this all happened. This phone has been worked on by me for 2 years now, off and on, and I just cannot get it to work.
Oh! And the phone should be on android Jelly Bean, if that helps any!
Thanks!

Hi,
This morning I woke up, my phone was locked on the screensaver, nothing was happening at all. So I har shut it down by keeping the power button pressed.
Since then, I can't turn it on anymore and it does basically nothing. I tried a hard reboot with power button and volume down (and tried also with volume up or both at the same time).
I also tried to plug it in the charger or in the computer but nothing happen at all.
I don't understand, it was working perfectly fine, I have no idea about what to do.
Thanks for any help.
Does it load the miui logo or it doesn't even light up at all?
If it doesn't turn on at all, then that has got to be a hardware issue and you gotta go for repair, if it does load the miui logo, then I can try and help you
