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.

galaxy note completely dead!! help!!

hello everybody!! I have a GT-N7000 with stock rom and 3 days ago it has become completely dead! there was 50% in the battery, so after 10 minutes i came and found it turned off so i tried to turn it on and it turned on but it froze at the samsung logo screen and tried rebooting 3 times but it didn't work. and now its completely dead it acts like its water damaged but it isn't. So after all that I went to Montreal GSM for a fix but they diagnosed the problem to be water damage so I told them okay fix it, and when i came to get my phone back he told me that this wasn't the problem! so now i have my phone with me and dunno what to do with it!could it be the mother board?and if its the mother does anyone know how much does it cost to replace it in samsung service center in montreal? Thank you guys!!!
yeah and two more things I tried another battery but nothing worked
and there was a screen showing up during rebooting and something strange was written on it " some custom roms might fail the system" somthing like that. i'm not sure cuz it only showed up for 2 sec.
thank u again

Motherboard is pretty expensive. No download mode also? Make sure there is a charged battery. Remove the battery and reinsert it. Press volume down + home + power. Anything at all?

[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.

and is it common for screens to just brake out of no where, without hitting or dropping the phone.?

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

Xperia Z confusing problems, please Help me.

Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).
I read about 5 Million forums and got in contact with flashing my device. First i tried it with the Companion (no success), later with flashtool (no success).
All i have to say is that, i dont even now if my screen is working, i easily come in fastboot/flashmode and i'm definitly at the end of my possibilities. I need someone's help, and if you say my phone is completely damaged, then please say, so i can stop working on this matter and sell it!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the long read.

Maybe motherboard got damaged or check the connections

I checked again my inner phone and, okay im new in fixing phones, but it seems to me that nothing got damaged, everything looks fine, the flex bands don't look different as they are shown in the videos. The connections are 100 % connected. But i have to admit: New battery -> not working, check connections -> all are stable , PC companion repair -> nothing. After all i think i destroyed something but i cant figure out what. On Monday i'll go to a repair shop and let them check what's the issue. If somebody has another idea, please let me know, i will try to repair it then.

Hey thanks for answering! As i mentioned in my starting post, my PC detects my phone without any problem. I also used PC Companion to repair my phone. So i dont think it's a software matter. Also Flashtool detects my phone, i could even install a new software.
But i gave my phone today to a repair shop, they'll analyse the problem... for 20€.
I'll tell you what exactly is damaged in a few days if somenone has the same problem like me.

I destroyed the Display Connector. Sold my phone for around 40 euro. -.-

HELP! Mobile is keep turning off and then not turning on.

Hi,
First of all, Sorry for Bad English, Bear with me.
Long Story, Short!
It keeps happening!
It would turn off, won't reboot
Won't take charging
I will leave it for a while
If I leave it off after when I am tired trying to turn it on, a few hours later It will be WARM like it was being used, Then I would plugin again and THIS TIME IT WOULD TAKE CHARGE and EVEN REBOOT!!
After when I am using it for a while (10-12min) GOES BACK TO POINT 1
I ERASE EVERYTHING, FACTORY RESET IT, and This time.. IT would work for more than 10-12min,
I will install apps, login into the account, and then again... The same thing would start to happen! !
What Really Happen? Day ZERO!
I bought this Red Magic 3 phone 3 months ago and it was working super awesome and everything was great until last week after a 30-40 min gaming session on this phone, I went back to sleep and kept the phone on the table.
The next morning I noticed that the mobile is turned off, I thought Maybe battery drained so I plugged in to charge and continued with my morning routine.
After an hour I noticed that mobile is still not charging I tried plugging in and out multiple times and it didn't start charging, I checked the Data Cable on my MI MAX 2 (that also supports Type C) and Cable and Adapter were working fine.
I immediately realized that SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!
I saw some youtube video and I tried that Vol Key + Power Key thing and that Bios look alike menu opened up, I can see all the reboot, recovery boot, etc option but nothing worked.
So I picked the WIPE DATA option and It worked, Formatted the Phone and IT REBOOTED.
I figured maybe some software issue was causing it.
BUT SINCE THAT DAY it keeps happening!
It would turn off, won't reboot
Won't take charge when I plugin
I will leave it for a while
a few hours later It will be WARM like it was being used, Then I would plug in again and THIS TIME IT WOULD TAKE CHARGE and EVEN REBOOT!!
After when I am using it for a while (10-12min) GOES BACK TO POINT 1
Service Center
They are no help! They don't know what is wrong with it, Even they formatted it in front of me they did the Factory RESET it, I tried using it in Front of them for a while and the SAME THING HAPPENED!
then they installed some updates using some official package.
But still,
IT would work for more than 10-12min,
I will install apps, login in the account
suddenly... The same thing would start happening again!
Their Resolution is :
Motherboard issue and I will have to get the motherboard replaced.
This simply means EVEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT and CHANGING EVERYTHING is their SOLUTION!
and they said it won't be covered on the warranty! Because the warranty has been voided BECAUSE THERE IS A SMALL CHIP on the phone! -_- which happens to be 40-50 days old.
I know is their Excuse to get money from me! Now I don't know what to do with it.
For me it was my first expensive mobile. I never bought a mobile for more than 200$.

Same thing for me.

What's your battery health at, voltage, and how many ma draw when just sitting in that app.

I've learned my lesson with this company. A couple of extra capacitative buttons and a large battery are not a reason to buy a phone. The build quality is ok, the software abysmal (I still get random **** getting pressed when I unlock the phone), and support horrendous. Do yourself a favor, threaten to speak with the governing authority in your country regarding warranties. Tell them a small crack on the screen is not indicative of internal damage. Tell them you will post a youtube review of the company and phone if they do not abide by their warranty and fix your phone.
Once you fix your phone, sell it and cut your losses.

When will people learn YouTube won't do anything. You need subscribers to have any kind of weight. I'm at 2.4m lol.
I don't know the warranty laws in your country. I know here they have to prove that what you did was the cause. Nubia is really shady and not only scams but will flat out lie all the time. I seen people had bad battery's and they say they need a replacement board.
Just let me know what I asked and we can start going in a little deeper. Start off with the basics then move into some other stuff. Could be a simple easy fix.

Some off topic posts are removed. Please remember our rules and post constructive content. Thank you.

Any update?
I'm curious to see if this is a battery issue or something else

I got the Battery Replaced thinking it was the issue but right after the installation. I turned it on to use it and it didn't work... I am still facing the same issue.. Meaning Battery was fine.. there is something else that causing it to turn off like this..!
Still, it acts like in COMA, then it heats up, I will charge it, It will boot.. If I will try using it ..it will turn off and won't turn back on!
