Xperia Z keeps shutting down on boot - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, before my xperia z used to keep shutting down before, I think it was because my phone was overheating but that was only when I was using apps like youtube and snapchat. Now it shuts down every time. When I turn it on it stays on the sony logo part for around 5 seconds and completely ****s down. I tried re flashing the ftf from flashtool and that still didnt fix it. I also tried using the repair my phone function on pc companion and it still didnt work. I dont know what I did wrong before, im not sure if it was because I unlocked my bootloader and saved my TA partition. Im not sure. But the phone was fine after I unlocked my bootloader. So I cant access the actual phone but I can put it on flashmode and fastboot. Someone help me please.

Ok quick update, I just turned the phone on when it was plugged in and it said 56% and charging and when I turned it on it said 5% and now its charging. It also got a bit hot. What do you reccomend I do now?

Also everytime I unplug it, it turns off

Hi if anytime you disconnect the USB cable the phone power off itself, there is a problem with the battery or with the circuit that manages the battery, it's a know problem and most of the times a battery change fix this issue..
The phone has never take water?
Previously when the phone auto restart itself, was warm?

Nope, Ive never put it in water, and yes it was warm. Everytime I tried to use it, it became warm. I ordered a new battery, hopefully it should fix the issue. I used to be able to use it when it was plugged in, now when it is plugged in it turns off after 5 seconds.

[Q] Is my Xperia lt30p Bricked?

Getting an orange light (not flashing and its been on since yesterday). Wont turn on in any ways, by presing volume up and power for several seconds(i tried for minutes) or pressing down and power. Not even connecting it by USB, i tried many USBs and a laptop+ computer. This phone is just about 2 weeks old and lightly used, because I'm using my old phone.
This phone as never been dropped, hit, left without charge, or watered. So I am really surprised of the quality. I bought this phone in the US and moved to Costa Rica so i cant just send it back. This really annoy me, to think that i wasted 539.00 dollars in this "Quality" product that lasted 2 weeks.
I read some solutions like leaving it charging for a long period of time. Or if that doesnt work, drain the battery. But i think the later is impossible since the battery is fully charge, it would take weeks for the battery to run out (how do i know it is fully charged?, my nokia charger gets hot while charging and it is totally cool charging the xperia), and flashing, but my computer does not recognize the phone even by pressing volume done for several minutes and power.
Please any help? thanks!.

Have you flashed anything to the phone? I cant beleive it just did this without you doing something to the phone. Have you rooted? Have you tried to unlock the bootloader?
Please install flashtool and post the log from flashtool when you try to connect the phone normally, in flashmode and in fastboot mode.
PS,
Now you have asked your QUESTION and I have tried to ANSWER it, can you guess which section you should have posted in?
General, Question & Answer, development or themes and apps?

I swear i didnt touch the phone i barely installed any apps like facebook, waze, and prolly one or 2 more. The reason is because i was waiting for my sim cutter and for the mean time i was using my old c6-01 nokia. I tried flashboot and it keeps telling me device not detected. i tried pressing volume down and power, etc. To be honest i barely used this phone. Just to check my FB or waze (like a google map). I moved to Costa Rica so i cant send it back.

ok, if you have not unlocked your bootloader you can not enter fastboot mode.
Download PCcompanion and follow the instructions to update software, then click on repair. It should work.

Please dont worry about it. Just go through the process to update your software without actually attaching your phone. Then you will get an option to repair.
Then attach the phone in flashmode (Press volume doen whilst attaching the usb cable to the phone) and it should work.
If not, please download flashtool Find a link in the first post of the Devlopment section and also download a stock ftf for your phone from the all in one thread (First thread in the Q&A section)
Then drag and drop the ftf file you downloaded into the open window of flashtool and attach the phone in flashmode. If that does not work then please post what the log of flashtool says.
EDIT
Also, no need to ever say thank you to anyonr here, if you feel the need to offer your thanks just hit the thanks button, thats what it is for

Hard brick LT30p ?
Hello to all... What could hapen to my phone, that it wont turn on? Hard brick? Everything was fine, I just searching on the webs ho to sim-Unlok, found sites, gived IMEI and they tell the price, and just searched some other to get the price (where is cheeper). Some days ago I tryed to flash stock rom O2 with flash tools from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910216, everything goes right. Version was 4.0.4 and I do not update (when I connect to Wi-Fi it gives me update) because I thought wen I sim-ulock then I do this. After flashing stock rom I noticed, that my sony wont start without restart (press power + volume up + volum down) (maby goes in to deep sleep or something). I thought never mind, it maybe softwere problems and when I debrand it will goes everything ok, because I rewrite software and add my sim when sim-Unlock I do. And when I decided to debrand, it is to day, I see, that I can't turn on my phone. PC do not detect and no sign at all. Trayed to hold all butons and so on, nothing... What hapens? Yesturday I was using it without SIM (because it is still simlocked) to search on the internet, google and everything was OK, power left about 60% when shutdown. So any ideas how to start the phone? The phone was not rooted. Maby some how something block my phone with IMEI? Because I write it in some forums asking for sim-unlock, so just don't know what to do... Any ideas or suggestions?

I disassemble my phone, removed battery conetctors and added to the same place and my phone booted without a paroblme. Hmm? Is it sony's problems? Maby exists diferent way how to do that when phone just do not boot? Because if it hapens in the future, it's not so easy to remove back.
Who is trying to remove the back I can say, that the back is from soft (elastik) material, so do not afraid to give some preasure. And offcorse there are only one screw near sim card. I done it slowly from corner to corner to remove.
My simple guide where is back holders https://www.dropbox.com/s/8x2m0plk4c0cibn/LT30p reassemble-1.jpg
Xperia T dead
Hi, I have LT30p( Xperia T ) and it's dead right now.
I tried everything but it's not turning on.
No fastboot, no flashmode just the red light blinks twice when i hold the power button. When it died it was 71% Charged. It hanged and i went to CWM recovery(did nothing) when i chose reboot system, it didn't.
And it was 2 days plugged into wall charger.
and flashtool doesn't recognize it( I Installed The drivers twice )
Unlocked bootloader,CM 10.2( 4.3 )
Can You Help ME PLZ?
Thanks for Helping.

[Q] Xperia T won't boot up..

For some reason my xperia T won't boot up anymore. Its very strange and the second time it happened.
Previous time, after some tries with holding to volume keys while holding the power key, eventually it boot up again, but this time, it
just flashes red. Which means that it is empty. So I plug in the power cable and the red light stops flashing for a second and just turns solid red.
But then it turns off again.
Don't know what to do now. Pc companion obviously doesn't recognize the device since its off.
Last time that I actually fixed the problem, the touchscreen wouldn't work anymore, so I reflashed a very old firmware.
Then it worked again, so I installed the latest cyanogenmod, and had no problems for a few days.
I do think its a firmware issue. I think it actually has to do with the apollo app, or atleast the headphone plug being in use while the phone charges.
I was listening music while the phone was recharging, yesterday, and in the morning this happened. Last time the exact same situation.
Any Ideas? Not planning on spending money right now :fingers-crossed:
Leave it on charge for a long time and then try the hard reset.
okay. I'll try that. Already tried hard resetting few times now.

Didn't help. Left it recharging for hours, but when I try to boot it, it just gives me a red light that blinks 3 times. Maybe it is the battery or the usb,
but its still weird. Sudden death? Hard resetting still won't work..

Lots of people leave it for 24 hours
I absolutelly do not recomend my solution untill everything else failed.
So here it goes:
When my phone was totally unresponssive (soft and hard boot reset failed), i dissasembled the phone and disconnected the battery and what solved my problem. I didn't know it was possible until i did it myself and this is the only reason i'm telling you: it's the very last thing but it's an option!

hmm, I want to try this. I just can't figure out how to open it. I saw a dissasembly vid on youtube, but when I get the first screw out, I can't seem to snap it open.. Im getting a bit desperate. Already went to the store, and they want to charge 45 euro's for a new battery+dissasembly.
Best way is to find the plastic tool it is shown in the video. But i had none so it takes some gentle force starting from the top left and then right to the key point that is the corner . It has to snap a little. Any metallic tools will damage the plastic and will leave traces. The tool might be replaced with a guitar feather if a friend of yours has one

[Q] my xperia x8 turns on and off again and again

Hello everyone.
I just got my xperia x8 from my brother because he didn't know how to fix it.
The phone seems like it has not even a scratch.
The issue is that everytime i turn it on it is just turning on and off and on and off again and again.
I don't even have time to input my pin.
The battery always seems to be drained although i charge it occasionally.
I have updated it's os with pc companion, but it keeps doing the same thing.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it?

try to flash stock frimware through flash tools(this wipes the data & reinstalls the system partition)
Normally flashing fixes all software fault but if your hardware is damaged so you shouldnt be hopeful.
I think its a sw problem but even an empty battery can cause exactly the same react.(put another battery then try flashtools)
Hope i could help you

that's our little greek secret... no modifications to the software but he kinda had troubles with this mobile for the whole period of time he owned it.he didn't receive messages in the particular device as far as i can remember. the battery doesn't seem to have anything wrong though.it is just sliiiightly puffed but nothing that alerting.i mean i havent charged it for a long time and it can still power the mobile's "neverending loop". if there was a problem wouldnt it not turn on at all or something? i don't have an extra battery and i'm thinking of getting through with the flash stock romafter i charge it a bit.. should i? and if yes, how? i've never done that (a guide would be great )

[Q] Bootloop, software or hardware caused?

Hello, Its been a long time since I don't ask anything on the forum, but in this occasion I haven't found any solution to what's happening to my Xperia Z, I'm gonna do my best to present the issue.
A couple of days ago I updated my Xperia (unlocked bootloader) from Existenz 1.5.5 to the latest 3.0 and the phone was completely fine for 2 days until it started shutting down by itself constantly and with no apparent reason, so I started to get worried, the first thing I did was try and reinstall the ROM thinking that I had some something incorrectly, I has no luck with that, on the contrary the phone died on the middle of the installation and it got bricked. My next step was to try do do everything from scratch, flashing the stock rom 10.5.1.A.0.283 to root it, install recovery and try flashing the Existenz after. I managed to do everything with lots of unwanted shuts downs in the middle but I managed. Unfortunately the phone kept on having the same problem so my last option was to try and use the Sony bridge on my mac to try and make a factory reset but it didn't let me because it detected the unlocked bootloader so I relocked it with flashtool, after that I tried again and it worked, it installed the official stock rom .101 and guess what..... same issue again, when I try to turn the phone on it shows the sony logo and turns off, if I try to turn it on connected to the AC it turns on but if I start playing with the menus and options it disconnects again, ofcourse if I turn it on connected and once it's on I disconnect it it shuts down almost instantly, At first I though the problem could be software, then hardware so I tried to check the battery status in the service app and it said good battery health so now I'm completely lost.., I've found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/hardware-fix-xperia-z-charging-booting-t2760911 but I don't know if thats my case. I was gonna go to a sony store and ask them what could be the problem, but now I'm living in Brazil and it'd take lots of time and money to get ir fixed here.
I really need help here, sorry if I posted on an incorrect place.
I just found a video of someone with the exact same problem, in case in helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkvLchJ_0oU
UPDATE: I rooted it, install recovery and once im in recovery it doesn't turn off by itself what tells me that may not be a hardware problem, at least not battery related, all this just makes me feel more confused!!
UPDATE 2: I rebooted the phone to load the recovery again and the battery indication went from 89% 2 minutes ago to 11% this second time, maybe it's hardware after all..
Battery.....
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Ultimate PureXZ Ultra!
I seriously don't think is the battery, I think it's something related to the energy but I'm not sure what. As I said before the battery went from 89% to 11% quite fast but when it was at 1% it stayed there for hours, if it was the battery wouldn't it had turned off? after it finally turned off I left it charging for about 12 hr and today morning I try to turn it on without it being connected and no luck, it kept shutting down after the Sony logo. Sometimes when I turn it on with the cable connected it loads the OS and I unlock the lockscreen, diconnect the cable and extraneously it stays on just with the battery power, I manage to put the ScreenOff timeout to 30 mins and it stays on all the time, as long as I don't do certain things like opening the camera, phone or sometimes it just randomly turns off from anywhere. I know it's not the rom because I've tried 4 different ones including the official installed by Sony Bridge....
If the issue is software related what could it be?? the bootloader? the bios power management? battery stats? maybe restoring TA backup(because I just relocked the bootloader using the option o flashtool, not flashing the TA backup)?
I'm concerned about buying a battery, installing it and seeing no change as I've read happened to some guys with the same problem.
I really like my phone but after this I'm not so sure i'll buy another Xperia because this has happened to so many people and apparently there's no solution, my phone is out of warranty and I life in a foreign country (Brazil) so you guys are all I have...
Same Problem Here ... Impossible to flash either from fastboot or from CWM or TWRP
Hi, I am having exactly the same problem. I was trying to revert to stock kernel from CM10.2 and was following one of the many guides here on XDA. The phone was not passing the «SONY» Logo, and immediately after such logo it simply went completely black and the phone is off. After two days of trying several things, including Fastboot of Stock ROM, fastboot of different boot.img files including Doomlord, using Sony Bridge for Mac, all of which did not solve the issue, the problem now is that when I try to flash any ROM, the flashing operation begins and then after approx 15 seconds the phone goes black and switches off. The battery is at 82%, so I am quite sure it is not a battery problem.
I am more and more convinced that the internal filesystem (or simply RAM) needs to be formatted at low level from scratch.
The only problem is that I do not know how to do it: how to do LOW LEVEL Formatting of RAM? Any instructions out there?
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

It seems like there's no solution and I don't think my battery is broken so I won't try the Hardware Fix since I don't wanna break my phone more than it already is, tomorrow I'll try to go the a Sony service store and see what they think the problem is, since I unlocked my bootloader and relocked after I think they will be able to see this, I think it ain't gonna be a problem because my warranty was void long time ago, and it's 1 year anyhow.... I hope they recognize it's a sony's fault issue and they decide to fix it with no cost, very unlikely but hoping is free gcecchini, i'll keep you updated, also if you find a solution let me know.
Hi Ringox!!! I'm having exact problem as your's.. This all started when I upgraded to 4.4.4 . First it was giving some weird problem like when opening camera , the phone shuts down. Then a time came the device was not charging.. The device boots up when connected to wall charger. But as soon as charger is removed the phone shut's down. Without connecting the charger when I tried to power on, it shows sony logo for 1 second the shut's down. I tried installing every stock rom , custom rom, kernel etc and it didn't solve the problem. I also bought new battery but same problem. I don't think it's software or hardware or battery problem but may be bootloader is corrupted. May be when we flash bootloader ( as in samsung) we may solve this problem. But I cannot find any tutorial an instruction to flash bootloader.
Also from quickstyler thread I can confirm that I have same problem as him, the sony mobile battey test app shows same error battery temperature -30 C . But his hardware fix didn't work either.
By searching for the problem on youtube, xda, google and other sources I can confirm 1000s of people is getting this problem ..
Please developer and member , help us provide solutions and tips what we can do next...
I have news, after one month waiting for Sony to repair my phone they've finally said it can't be fixed and they said the problem is the motherboard which is approximately 130 dollars plus installation, so I decided to park my Xperia and buy a SGS4. Something interesting that happened is that now the phone starts and sounds, just with a black screen all the time with the backlight ON, maybe they fixed something and broke something else, I don't know. If anyone knows a solution to this rather than changing the motherboard I'd appreciate the answer. I wanna fix it to give it to my mother, but I won't be buying any other Sony smartphone ever again, their service is a disgrace and I couldn't be more unsatisfied with them.
