Hi everyone, a friend of mine bought an used Xperia Z and replaced the battery with a brand new one. Problem is that after a while of flawless usage, the battery drained to 0% and the phone refuses to charge or power on at all, this is the situation so far:
BATTERY PLUGGED:
- Cable on: can't go to flash mode or fastboot, the phone tries to power on and gets detected for a split second (screen off and red light ever so often)
- Cable off: fully dead
BATTERY UNPLUGGED:
- Cable on: can go to flash mode and fastboot mode (this way I flashed latest official ROM) but doesn't boot of course
- Cable off: of course nothing.
What I tried so far:
- Charging overnight, NO USE
- VOLUME+ and POWER ON for 8 secs, then charge for 1 hour, NO USE
- Hot plugging the battery with the cable off (bad idea), MANAGED TO BOOT ONE TIME but like an idiot i disconnected the cable to switch to wall charging
Does any of you have any idea? Of course the phone is out of warranty and I don't have another Xperia Z to charge the battery, neither I think another battery will help, since this works.
im having this same issue, ive even tried a replacement battery with no results.
ive asked around in the Sony forums and my posts either get ignored or deleted seems like this is probably my first and last sony phone.

My Xperia is rooted, has recovery and the bootloader is unlocked, I use the stock ROM.
It went smoothly (done it several months ago), but yesterday, the battery emptied so I put it on charge. Today I tried to turn it on, but it didn't work; whenever I press the power button, the LED blinks red. I tried fastboot and flashmode, but none of it works. My PC detects it as an unknown device when I try to turn it on. once
If that helps, it turns on once in a while with CWM.
Anyone can help?

EDIT: looks like I used a loose cable and the battery didn't charge at all. God, I feel so dumb.

hello;
I had the same problem , I searched on the web for solutions and found something like charging phone overnight , key combinations but nothing helped; my phone was completely dead ; but I did something and phone is now alive; I removed screw of the phone , opened panel; removed battery connector and connected phone to wall charger , by this time phone showed sony logo like on startup , then immediately connected battery connector and left phone to charge for several minutes ; it was showing only sony logo when was charging, after 15-20 minutes disconnected phone from charger , screen went off and after this i reconnected charger, it showed battery screen and started charging with battery and thunder logo; thats all, it was the only solution for me.

I'm so sorry for causing you the trouble of this....
Turned out that the cable I used is loose and it didn't charge or anything
Hello and how are you?
I recently flashed the latest doomkernel on my phone, installed a rom and all was working fine. However my batter dropped to 0% and now the phone is not booting up. I had it charged for 10 hours (twice) and when I press power button the red light flashes twice. I was not able to imitate a battery removal (power+vol up) so I removed the battery itself, waited and recharged. The phone is detected as a USB device by the pc, but I cannot flash anything since it turns off.
My carrier says this is a broken motherboard/mainboard
Has anyone experienced such issue? any help?
Mainboard is fine. Battery has to low voltage. I think the device cannot charge the battery, when it's turned off. You must charge the battery somewhere else.
Ok so i spend 2 hours looking for a similar problem and potencial tricks to fix it with no aveil..... basically if i turn on my phone without being connected to a charger, the phone will show the samsung logo and shutdown after 2 seconds. Now if i connect it to the charger the phone will start but shutdown as i approach to slide it... then tried getting into recovery mode without the charger and it woul'd just show the blue guy ( clockwork) for 1 second and shutdown... then i tried getting into recovery mode with the charger connected and it worked so i wiped the cache and wiped the data.. so after the formating was done i disconnected it and turned it on and still same problem... so i plug the charger and turn it on again, now iam in the welcome screen and as it get to the setting up of wifi screen, it shuts down but if i stay in the welcome part it will stay on??? and never shutdown unless i finish the set up, after clicking finish the phone will shutdown!!!
- Tried everything, ranging from pulling the battery for 30 minutes to fully charging it.. which i noticed that it wont fully reach to top..
- However the phone does allows me to to get into download mode without the charger being plugged in
- Its a galaxy s3 from tmobile on 4.3 firmware rooted
- All of this happened because i left a game open while it was connected to pc.. it looks like the phone needed more energy than the pc was providing so it drained the battery.. when i woke up it was charging with a thermostat sign ( yes it was very hot)
battery lasted a whole day so i dont think its a dead battery
It should like a duff battery
I have recently replaced my Xperia Z C6602 battery, the guy at the store told me that i have to plug the phone on a wall socket charger for at least 24 hours sometimes it even takes 3 days in order to start charging because the battery was flat, I didn't believe him tho until I've read some facts about waking up a flat battery, so I did what he told me and now for more than 40 hours, red LED is on and the Sony logo is flashing over and over in a loop, but the phone is not turning on. However I tried different chargers also I tried to force restart/shutdown by pressing power+vol+ thought the device is vibrating 1 then 3 times simultaneously but this didn't make any change, It's worth mentioning that my phone is unlocked and it was running a custom ROM (MIUI 6), also the device is getting recognized by the computer, and fast boot and flashmode are working fine, so I did successfully flash the stock firmware (10.5.1.A.0.283) using flash tool but this didn't fix the issue and the device kept doing the same thing over and over...
I just want to know if the fact about waking up a flat battery is true and the repairman was right about doing this process, or the new battery was simply damaged so I have to change it again.
Sorry for the bump but I'm in exactly the same boat. Bought a new battery from Replace Base Ltd for my C6603. When I connect the charger the phone keeps trying to start up then dies immediately. Running stock 5.1.1.
my C6603 battery was replaced 6 month ago, by myself..
yes, I bought a new original battery and replace it by myself
I only charge this new battery for 4 hours with EP800
now it's still working
maybe you have a faulty battery..

After reading a bit more about Li-ion batteries I would bet the new battery I bought has not been used for such a long time that it has gone into 'sleep mode' to prevent over-discharging.
I REALLY need help
Sometimes when i plug the charger into my Xperia z, it instantly shuts off and boots on
A week ago, i plugged it in, it restarted and i went to lunch.
When i came back, i couldnt turn the Phone on, i literally tried EVERYTGING (every buttom combination possible), the LED didnt turn on and the Phone didnt respond to anything.
Just completely dead.
I charged it for 3 h and because the LED didnt even turn on while charging, i thought the battery might be broken.
So i removed the backcover, unplugged the battery and plugged in the charger.
There was finally a sign of hope when the LED turnt red, but as soon as i plugged the battery in again (with the charging cable still in) the LED turnt off.
So i ordered a new battery, put it in and charged it for 2h, still the exact same issue.
If anyone has a clue of whats the issue or experienced it himself, please help me.
Phone specs:
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom dual recovery with twrp and philz recovery installed, stock rom with android 5.0.1, about 2.5 years old, perfectly functioning until this issue occured
