I'm having the weirdest problem.
My Xperia Z wont boot up, it will only boot when i have USB in my PC and connected to the Xperia Z.
When I disconnect the USB the phone shuts down in about 3-15 seconds.
I tried to reflash the stock tft via Flashtool.
I tried to reflash via SUS
I tried to reflash/repair via PC Companion.
At the moment stock firmware is installed but the problem is still there.
I tried to Google but I cant find anyone with the same problem.
Please help!
What's your battery like because to me is sound like a battery problem, USB is supplying power and a soon as you remove power it dies,
Boot phone up and do a service test on battery *#*#service#*#*
A maybe completely wrong
P. S. Have you had your phone near water what colour is the paper under your tabs (should be white not pink)

I have the exact same problem! have you found a solution yet? i'm thinking it's a hardware problem because of the fact that i have had this problem on different ROMs and even when i flashed it back to original firmware using sony's flastool.
The battery test under *#*#service#*#* says there's nothing wrong with it...
It's getting really frustrating actually... Phone is practically unuseable...
i think your phone does not turns off, im having the exact same problem, try put the screen to sleep every 30 minutes, if it last 30 minutes with the screen on, then your phone is having the same problem i have:
something like the volume up button "always pressed" so the power button doesnt react because its like detecting hard reset combination.
if the screen sleeps, you press the power button it does not come up, if you connect the usb, screen comes up. phone is not off.
if its like that, im glad i helped at least identify the problem (if you find a solution other than sending to sony (they'll charge me because my warranty is void) PLEASE TELL ME
EDIT: I FIXED IT!!

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

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?
what is "external battery terminal dismount"?
I have the Xperia T and I am trying to update to 4.3, I had tried to use flashtool, but the phone isn't recognised by the computer when I plug in the cable holding the down button. Now the update is finally here for me I tried using PCC but again having the same issue. I have tried two different computers and all the USB ports on them. I have also fully switched off the battery (holding down the power and up button keys for 10 seconds).
I am stumped as to what is wrong with the phone??
thanks
Can no one suggest anything I could try? I have a feeling its a hardware fault, but it seems like a strange one at that... I dont know if its related but the phone also sometimes doesn't wake from sleep, it seems to be awake but the screen is not on, which requires me to do a hard restart
I am really desperate! thanks

turn of your phone. open flashtool. do not connect the phone to pc. select the firmware and click on flash,. after a few seconds it asks for the phone to connect. the hold the vol - button and plug in the usb. release the vol - button after the green light turns on. this may solve your issue

Interesting update (well not really), but I did some troubleshooting and stuff and found that when plugging my phone into the charger when it is switched off, it doesn't respond either (i.e. boot up). So I have a feeling that its the actual phone with a fault such as damaged pin in the usb port that relates to power when the phone is switched off?

I have the same problem.
When the phone is turned off it won't charge, either wiht the wall charger or with the USB cable connected to the computer.
I've sent an email to SONY but they told me so sent it to tech support.
It's not very easy to do it where I am so I'm looking for some other options.
I also noticed it when I was trying to update to 4.3.
PC Companion isn´t a solution since it asks to connect the phone to the PC while turned off pressing the volume down button, even to try the repair.
Can someone help?

Such a weird problem, but unplugging and reconnecting the battery solved all the issues I was having!

Have a look at the thread link above, very simple to solve just take off the back cover and disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes
So a couple days ago, my power button and volume button and even the camera button stopped working. I thought I'd bricked my phone! But once I got home, I put the charger in and the screen came on. I've been using Sony's "double tap to wake" option to use the phone.
BUT THEN, god damn battery runs out completely, I charged it and now because the power button isn't working, I can't turn the phone on.
Tried adb reboot, tried holding volume buttons, tried hard reset button under USB and microsd flap, nothing. Screen comes on when it's charging, the phone works perfectly (apart from buttons ofc)
Flashtool recognises the device when I plug it in, but I don't see any option to reboot the device since it's connected with debugging off.
Code:
01/035/2015 22:35:37 - INFO - Device disconnected
01/035/2015 22:35:56 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
01/035/2015 22:35:56 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
I haven't dropped the phone, it can't be water damage either since I'm paranoid and keep it away from water even though it's waterproof.
Help? Don't know whether to take it to Sony because I unlocked my bootloader :crying:

I'd have to boot the phone into flashmode and that requires power button and volume button...
Try to turn on Ultra stamina Mode and then turn that same mode Off.
Phone will reboot, after the reboot tell me how are your buttons.
I had the same problem this morning, never had it before. Then i thought, 99.9% of phone's problems are software related and solve themselves by a reboot or factory reset (i sell chinese smartphones for living..) and tried to reboot the phone. Power button for 8-10 secs did nothing (as expected, as buttons not working). Finally, i remembered that ultra stamina mode asks to reboot the phone. Did it and Voilá! phone is cool now
I'm still worried, but lets hope it doesnt happen again.

I think it can be some minimal adb envirtoment because USB debugging is present when Andorid is fully power up. But thats only my theory
I think your problem can be hardware related, so you should contact Sony/Your Operator for warranty repair. In my opinion unlocking bootloader does not void your warranty in this case , Sony only noticed about you may..so is worth to try .
Sony said:
Voiding the warranty
If you unlock the boot loader, you may void the warranty of your device and/or any warranty from your operator. See your device’s warranty statement for details. Additionally, due to the modified device software, Sony’s repair network will likely have to replace key components before it can properly test, repair and verify your device using our repair tools and software. Consequently, if Sony performs a warranty repair, Sony will likely charge you a significant service fee for the additional costs caused by your modification of the software.]

Yep I did spot that, but as a (broke) student I can't risk sending my phone for repair and then getting a big bill from Sony.
I will take it to a third-party repair shop in the near future.
I think they (Sony) should inform you before charging for repair and wait for agreement from your side. Call them and ask about it.
Best Regards.

you didn't backup your TA I guess?
btw I confirm they will need your approval before proceed with the repair out of warranty and charge you the costs, so I would try taking it to sony then if they want too much money just ask it back (you may be asked to pay just the shipping costs if they are going to send the phone somewhere for checks)

hi,
I am facing the same problem. I installed SDK and ran the command but I keep getting no device is found.
How did you get it to recognize the device?
Sir, you are a genius
Hi, so my Z1 had a dying, practically dead battery inside it (it was plugged in nearly 24/7 until I got a new battery) and I left it unplugged for an hour, not plugged in. When I got back to it as soon as I turned the screen on it died (not surprising because the battery was dead), however, when I went to plug it in and turn it back on it wouldn't turn on, and furthermore my portable charger wouldn't recognise it. When I got home I left it to charge from the mains for about 4 hours, with still no response. I've tried pressing power+volume rocker(every combo), holding down the red button and the power button with still no response. Not even a glimmer of the notification light. The only response I can get is plugging it in to my computer where it's recognised as a malfunctioning device. It's running Cyanogenmod 12.
Is my Z1 completely dead or can someone give me any pointers? Looking at other posts almost everyone has said just try some button combo and it's worked.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm leaving it on charge overnight and seeing if it's going to work in the morning/when I get home.
Are you able to enter fastboot mode or flash mode at all?
Try holding volume up or volume down while inserting the micro usb cable and see if you get any notification light response
No response.

Generally speaking, it may helps recover that disassemble and assemble the parts properly. BUT it surely will break waterproof function.
Did you test magnetic charging too? If not, give it a try to make sure.
In a sim card tray, there's a reset pin. Pressing it a while soft reset the phone forcefully.

I pressed the reset pin multiple times, all that I can think to do is take it apart. Will it work temporarily without glue so I can check if it's working?
