I tried this but the same result

A panacea for your device.
For those coming to this post in search of an answer to their seemingly dead device.
After looking at Sony's support website, the answer I found was to hold the OFF button inside of the Micro-SD/SIM cover for a total of 2 minutes (120 seconds).
This is tricky for some users, due to the length of time involved.
It is important that the OFF button remain held for the full duration of time.
After this, your device 'should' power on normally by holding the power button.
This worked for me, and I hope it will work for you!
Thumbs up and stuff if this helps~!

Dead Milestone, no power

Hi!
Yesterday my Mileston was OK (about 40% battery), I have put it in my pocket and after 30 minutes device was off. I thought that batterry is discharged. So I connected it to the wall charger, but nothing happened (white led doesn't light up, black screen) and I can't power it up. I have left it for night and today is the same situation - no charging led, doesn't power up. When I connecting it to the USB port white charging led is flashing but nothing more, screen still blank, doesn't power up. I can't go into bootloader.
Tried:
- Removed/reinserted battery
- Press power button with SIM removed
- Press power button with memory card removed
- Press power button and X
- Press power button and UP
- Press power button without battery inserted, while on wall charger
And nothing. Have you any idea?
@EDIT:
I have connected old nokia battery with cables and phone started up. Everything is ok.

[Q] Broken Xperia Z

Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Did you connect phone holding volume down key or are you connecting usb after that pressing volume down key

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted
Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.
Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.

XT890 doesn't start at all.

Hello. This morning I've turned off the alarm, turned on WIFI and went back to sleep. I can't tell for sure, but I think the battery was low. During the next 2 hours I checked the time several times. I don't remember accepting any OTA. Eventually I got up, tried to check the time and the phone was off. I tried to turn it on, no effect. No matter how many times and for how long I pressed and held the power button, the green LED only flashed for a split second and that's all. I plugged in the charger, and the LED stayed lit -but- there was this barely noticeable flickering. Charged it for about 30, 60, 120 minutes, didn't start plugged or unplugged. I went to work, 8 hours later (phone was unplugged) I tried to turn it on again, this time the LED doesn't even flash, but when charging there is no flickering. No combination of buttons works. Windows doesn't find the device, neither does RSD.
I've never done anything 'custom' to the phone. The last change I made was setting the alarm to turn off by shaking (yesterday, never used this option before).
Is it dead?
Try taking SD card out and holding Vol down and then Power for 20 secs, then let go of Power,
Already done that, nothing. No matter how long I charge it now, after unplugging and pressing power button the LED doesn't even flash. Could it be a battery problem (before its death, it would last for a day)? Is there any way of recovering my data without buying a new one?
Try opening and disconnect battery for a bit.
I'll do that as a last resort, on weekend maybe since I don't have the tools with me. Any other clues?
Nobody knows how to help me?
I'm going to make a factory cable. Will this alone allow me to recover the data? Or if I'll be able to flash the phone, can I recover the data afterwards?
Also, I'm not sure if I understand correctly: does the factory cable recharge the battery or not? Is there a way to recharge it when removed from the phone?
Try to use medfield unbrick script. If You have only green led it seems to be bootloader error so this script should bring Your phone to life or Your phone has broken emmc and You can start looking for a new logic board. Good luck.
I've installed the drivers, but Windows and XFSTK don't recognize my device at all. Factory cable also didn't help. I liked my phone very much. :angel:
Did You enter medfield mode using combination with camera button??
By a combination you mean holding the camera button and connecting the phone to a pc? I tried that.
Disassembe Your phone, pull out battery, push power button for a 10 sec, plug in battery, push camera button and connect USB. If it wont help You I don't see any hope for Your phone.
Well, new option to try is a new hope. I'll try that on the weekend. Could you please be more specific:
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Press the power button and wait 10 seconds.
3. Insert the battery: should I be still holding the power button at this moment?
4. Press the camera button.
5. Plug in the usb cable (factory? regular?) - should I be still holding the power and camera buttons?
Battery trick is only to discharge capacitors. Sometimes even phone is dead it can turn on in some strange mode and then You can't boot it to flash. Thats why You need to pull out battery, push power for a few sec to completely discharge motherboard and just release this button. After that You can just plug in battery and continue normal unbrick process - so hold camera button only and connect regular usb cable.
You can also try reset option instead of pulling battery out. To do that do not disassemble Your phone but just plug in regular USB, when phone starts (green led) hold power and vol- until green led goes off and then quickly start holding only camera button.
I have no more ideas.
Ok, I've tried everything. Nothing brought my phone back to life.
Thanks for all your help.

3T on 3.5.4 not turning off?

Seems like my 3T does not turn off when I turn it off via pressing the power button. When I have a charger connected it's easy to spot when the vibration goes off, but the charging light keeps lit - even when I remover the charger. It's also apparent that the device won't turn on when pressing the power button for three seconds. I need to press it about eight secs and then another two to turn it on.
Turning off works when rebooting the phone and turning it off from the bootloader (my device is unlocked) or when turning it off at the pin entry (have boot pin set).
Can anyone confirm?
Tested with clean system (no root, no Xposed) and still happening...
Turning off with the power button works on my device, powering up DOES take some time, 5-8 seconds of holding the power button down.
Seems like forever holding that power button!
Maybe I need to be more precise. Yes, I can "kill" the phone just holding that button for about ten seconds. But that's not the point. I suspect it does not power off properly.
To test, hook it up to the charger. Press power for about three seconds. Select "Turn off". Wait for the phone to vibrate. Charging light is on. If it'd be powering off correctly, it would kind of turn on again to show you the charging screen (battery symbol, then dash symbol). Does not do this for me. Instead it sits there... black. When I remove the charger, the charging light stays on.
To turn the phone on again, I then have to press power about ten seconds (turning it off), and then again to turn it on.
I tried your exact method, and my device shuts down (connected to the power cord, plugged in) normally, and them restarts while holding down the power button in 3 seconds.
When not connected to the dash charger, my device does power down very slowly as described in my earlier post (stock kernel)
My devices is rooted with the blue spark kernel though--so maybe that has some baring in my "normal" shut down/startup behavior.
I have the same bug to you... So I disconnected the cable...
Just wait for the future updates....

Question Deadboot problem with battery icon

Poco M3 Pro 5g
Stock rom
Locked bootloader
It was powered off for some time because I had to replace broken display
Now when I try to boot a battery icon appears and then it turns off. Same thing happen when I plug in the charger
I repair smartphones professionally so I am sure no hardware damage during the repair

I went through it. try holding the power button, connect the cable and only release after the battery shows 1%. you can try holding the power and volume + or power and volume - buttons too instead of Power button only, in the same way. alternatively, you can leave it on the charger for hours and it might turn on. Make sure you are using the supplied xiaomi charger
If I plug the cable or I plug and hold the power button the phone just tries to boot continuously showing the battery icon and then turning off and repeat, nothing really happens
Is that what is supposed to happen?

Yes, It happens. Luckily the phone will reach 1% and charge normally, keep trying
You actually saved me, it worked in the end, after some loops it booted alone, all I had to do was just let it sit there, didn't even have to keep power button all the time, once it started the loop I just left it there and when I came back it was booted.
