[Q] Black screen ! Tried resetting

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?

Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Sorry,
Rooted
Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific

Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool

Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work

Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device

Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up

run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..

Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer

what computer do you have?
Windows 8?

Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?

seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers

Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening

Try another computer

[Q] Xperia Z Refuses to go into flashmode

Before posting that I'm idiot and I should have searched for the solution myself I want to say that there was no actual solution to my problem!
A month ago I decided to install CyanogenMod 10.2 because of more camera options so I backed up my TA partition, then unlocked my bootloader and installed CyanogenMod 10.2 that was perfect for me, but as official 4.3 is going to be released I decided to migrate to stock android and ran into a problem, I downloaded many FTF's for my C6602, downloaded new flashtool also all drivers are perfectly installed but when it came to loading phone into flashmode it refused to do so, I'm holding Volume down button and connecting USB into the main USB port on the PC, first I see red LED then suddenly it changes to GREEN for about half a sec and then turns off, as for Fastboot mode it works perfect I even tried flashing different kernel but it did not help, I also tried and successfully installed Android 4.4 KitKat OmniRom without problems but I still can't get into the flashmode, also I was unable to use EMMA because I did not receive confirmation e-mail. Please help... Thanks in advance.

I managed to reflash to stock .67 firmware with new flashtool but the led was not green during the installation it was off but it still got flashed, now when I reflashed my phone, I rooted it and restored my TA partition , so now I want repair it with SEUS but the problem still exists phone wont go into flashmode !!!!

Once green led goes of and screen is black, you ARE in flashmode
Make sure flashtool prepares files BEFORE pressing volume down and plugging usb cord in.
There is no persistent led or visible screen in flashmode.

Yea you were correct for some reason when I started updating phone with SEUS it just restarted and started update, so it seems that it really was in flash mode, but what's wrong with the led? It was always on once in flashmode ...

Forget SUES. Just flash a stock FTF for your region. Sony won't know the difference. There's plenty out there. Which one do you want?
Edit; In flashmode, Led stays on until flashing starts then it turns off while system is being flashed.. In the case of PC companion or SUS, it will take considerably longer while files are downloaded, but with flashtool, the files are already in place, so it goes off almost instantaneously

Thanks again, no I just wanted to get BE back Thanks to guy who invented TA partition backup : )

+1
That's a brilliant tool.
Just be sure to be on stock, rooted, with USB debugging on, and superuser accepting adb shell command while restoring:thumbup:

Just wanted to say I was a bit worried my xz was not in flashmode the first time I flashed un-branded firmware as the led did not stay lit..
When I used to flash my old Arc S the light would remain on until flashing finished...
Thanx for confirming this !!

Different Problem with Flashmode
Can someone please help me, When I unlocked my bootloader (Xperia Z) I didn't use flashtools. I used SE Bootloader Unlocking, this software worked well for my Tipo and S. What happened is that my bootloader got unlocked but my flashmode got corrupted. Fastboot works fine. But when I try to get into Flashmode, the green LED blinks for like a second and nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please Please help me? I can't update my Baseband to go to 4.3.
I wouldn't mind relocking my bootloader to go back to stock, but I need flashmode to this as well!

That's how it works on The Z. Nothing to worry about
Just let flashtool prepare the files , then plug in to pc holding volume down

[Q] Sony Z1 bricked?

Hello guyz
Sony Z1 C6903 - I was updating it via my Laptop to Lollipop.
Suddenly my Laptop turned off in the middle of the updating proccess.
Now the phone starts , Shows the Sony Logo and then a black screen nothing else.
I searched and found the Flashtools but im not sure how to try them out.
Does any one here faced a similar issue?

You phone is not bricked, if your phone turns on, vibrates or shows LED's this means your phone still works. However you have had a bad flash since your laptop switched off. Since you have got Flash Tools, you are going to have to reflash you phone. I am not sure if you had root as you didn't specify, but that what I have said so get you back on your feet, if you are going to root, make sure you get the 108 firmware to flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 - Go here and find the right ftf file for you phone.
Install FlashTools and put the ftf file in C:/users/user/firmwares
in FlashTools, click on the lightning symbol and then make sure Flash Mode is enable and click ok
Locate the flash file you downloaded and flash.

Please HELP!

Hello!
I have rooted my XP a long time ago with kingroot. switched to supersu after. No unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to change my font to a different one, which worked in the past. But now i am stuck in bootloop! (
I cannot use sony pc companion as the phone reboots all the time!
please help me as this is the only phone that i have!
I can hear the pc detecting the device but soon after the device reboots and it disconnects.

oh god, how many times I've heard this! please use the search button....!!!
anyway, last time I say this, when using flash tool, and you press the flash button, and it says waiting for phone, at the time (you have less than 1 sek actually, you have to try a couple of times to get it right) the phone is rebooting, right after the screen brightens up, hit the volume DOWN, led goes green, plug the usb in the pc (actually do this where you connect the micro usb first and the usb is really close to be plugged in but not in just yet, and when the time is right you push it all.)
I don't know if my explanation is understandable by you, if not check in youtube, there are a plenty of videos on how to put your xperia z in flash mode.
good luck

Thanks for your reply. I did manage to finally turn off the device and after i could repair it with pc companion. I have no recovery installed as i haven't unlocked my bootloader. So i couldn't use flasher as you said.
Now im on stock 5.1.1 rooted with kingroot + supersu script.

Anyway, good for you, you solved it by your own.
Flashtool actually (not the one provided by sony) can solve any problem, as long its not hardware related.

Bricked my Xperia SP after flashing Cyanogenmod 13

Hi guys, this is my first time trying to flash a smartphone and i had no luck. After i press the power button nothing happens, only a small vibration and a little green led blink. :crying:
I'm trying to flash the stock ROM through Flashtool but my Xperia SP keeps disconnecting and connecting after a minute in Flash mode, the green light turn OFF for a second then ON again every minute. But if connected in Fastboot mode the device keeps connected normal but I cant select the .FTF file. I have no idea what to do now.
I bought it last year second hand its my first smartphone im broke as **** i cant believe its not working anymore. My last phone was a Nokia 5310 that i used until decomposition, literally. Sorry for bad english.
Please help.

share the instructions that you followed.
Did you root your phone and unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery ?
it is possible that your drivers are not properly installed, try using windows 7

I have similar issue but phone is not bricked it's charging really really slowly. And I don't know issue of it? If someone can link some room that don't have this issue that would be g8.
