Red LED = dead battery. If you can't get it to charge in fastboot mode (just leave it plugged in for a day or two), then you'll need to disassemble the phone to either replace the battery or force it to charge - the latter of which is only if you know what you're doing (Li-ons like to catch fire and explode). You should obviously fix the power button while you're in there.
There is nothing else to be said about it.
Thanx xasbo...i already figured that out my self and opened up my phone and disconnected the battery from the motherboard and kept it away for sometime and went on for the power button...i tried everything but power button seems okay..it's not a hardware issue...so i reconnected the battery and left it charge for the whole evening and voila it turned itself on with56% of battery... ..anyway thank you all for supporting me... you guys are awesome..:thumbup:

:good: good deal.
iirc, the power button is run through one of the flex cables, they can tear very easily and sometimes it is difficult to see. the replacement flex is cheap, just a few bucks, might be worth trying.
Okay...i'll try replacing the ribbon...thanx bro...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:u are awesome...

Sounds like a pretty normal bootloop. Make sure you're flashing the right FTF for your specific C690x device. Start with a completely stock FTF and work up from there.

Are you trying to flash from recovery or fastboot? If the former, try the latter.
Or you can just send it into Sony for repair.
Don't blame the phone, though - you're the one that broke it. :good:
Red LED doesn't automatically mean dead battery. Reading the whole thread, You said (before opening the phone) that it would turn on own it's own, and turn back off. Your phone is soft bricked. It kept trying to boot up but since it's on a boot loop it would power on, get stuck, power off, then powers on again - hence called a boot loop. Boot loops can drain the battery which is why pressing the PWR+VOL UP was advised so you can power off the phone completely. By powering it off, you can then charge the phone up to 100% so you can work out the boot loop that you are on. I have no knowledge about actual hardware stuff like that of opening the phone, so I cannot comment on the power button that is broke. But one thing I can say is, it's easy to revive a soft bricked phone that doesn't have a broken power button. So this comment is basically me threading all the symptoms you have mentioned and explain it in the best manner I can. I have experienced lots of boot loops myself and have managed to revive my nasty Z1 which is why I am a little familiar with it's symptoms. I do hope you get the power button fixed so reviving your phone would be easy.

The device turns off - like turns off completely or it still reboots as if you are still stuck in a boot loop?

It started as soon as I received a phone call from my brother and we were in the middle of a conversation when the phone suddenly goes off. I tried to restart it, I even removed the battery and replaced it but when I press the power button I get the initial boot sequence showing the htc logo and then the phone would just go of. I thought that maybe the battery is low but when I plug it to a power outlet it keeps trying to boot but keeps switching off and it just does this over and over.
Please I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before, I really don't know what to do.

Try a Hard Reset using the device buttons:
1. With the phone off. If it’s frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.
Hope this helps!

Well I just did that but the problem persist. I should note that occasionally it does complete its boot up and I can use the phone but it can go off at any time and once it does this, i cannot get it to completely boot up. Once it attempts a boot up and goes off I cannot even restart it by pressing the power button until I replace the battery or plug it into a power socket or the computer at which point it will just keep booting up and shutting down.
Something far wrong there. Get a replacement device.

Hi, I have got the same problem on my HD7 and I am completely noob to many new words Goldcard, jailbroken, etc. Would you please advise me exactly what you did (i mean flahing procedure) and really appriciate any help.
Well if you have got an O2 HD7, then I would advise you to get one of the O2 ROMS from ansar, download it then press and hold the volume down button when booting up your device, connect the phone to your pc and start the app. More instructions in the HD7 development thread.
There's nothing wrong the phone. Don't hard reset or flash it. It happens from time to time, just give it some time and eventually you will see a battery icon appear. Then after awhile it will boot up.
Again, do not flash or hard reset just be patient. I believe it just needs to drain all the way down as it doesn't have enough power to fully boot.
Not booting up
Hi,
My T Mobile hd7 is been restarting after it shows the htc logo..It was all of a sudden after i connected to my pc this happened ...Tried to flash it with ansar tmobile update..problem persists...Dont knw how to use goldcard..please help me out..

Hi. To start with I bought a phone from a friend which I knew was faulty but decided to take my chances and try to fix it. He claims he did nothing to the phone but don't know for sure. Phone is in constant bootloop, Goes until splash screen and reboots. Worst yet to come - even bootloader menu restarts on constant basis when i try to get into it. Meaning it goes into bootloader but restarts in few seconds before i can get to factory reset. Computer is not picking up this device but i also don't have any drivers installed but don't even know how to install them with a phone in this state. Is there anything i can do about it? Been with Samsung for the past few years and here is everything completely different so don't know much about adb but am a quick learner and can follow any steps! I can provide picture of bootloader if it would be any helpful.

Send a picture of the bootloader while I find the drivers you need
Seems like battery is completely dead as it only reboots when there is power supply connected, but then it won't turn off (any charging light don't come on, not sure if it should though). Just now i've seen a vodafone logo for a very short second when I connected to pc from charger. But phone rebooted again just after.

edit. downloaded drivers (4.8) but that didn't change anything and windows still doesn't pick up device.
After connecting my one to computer for past 3 hours its started more frequently boot and showing Vodafone menu but still restarts shortly after. Vodafone logo shows on and lights on soft buttons starts flashing like 3 times and than it keeps rebooting. Does it mean anything?

That almost sounds like your POWER button is stuck!! Are you able to completely power off, and it stays off.
I think i know what it is. Power button stuck and keeps restarting device. Although i can feel pressing it, this is what it looks like.

Didn't see your comment but this is exactly how it looks to me. I can't switch off phone and in bootloader it acts like i was pressing power button. Although it operates normally meaning that it can be pressed down. Arranged warranty repair with HTC and they are collecting phone tomorrow.

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..

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.

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.

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.

Hello, sorry if this question had been posted before. I just confusing with my Xperia Z1. It's just blank screen, no Sony logo, no boot animation, etc.
I've tried to hold power+vol up but nothing happen. When i put the charge on and i press the power+vol up, it vibrate three times and nothing happen.
What should i do with this?? I hope it's not hardware failure.
Thx for the answer and suggestion.

When you hear the three times vibration then you shutting down your phone and after that the phone is turned off completely, then leave it under wall charger via USB or Dock for minimum 4 hours, if it do not turn on then you have to flash a new Firmware OR Repair via PC Companion. Download Official Sony PC Companion and repair your phone. Other way is to use Flashtool and download the latest FTF from Mega Collection and flash it. Then it should turn on.
hi
i have the same problem with my z1 xperia
the pc companion wont see my phone to preform any kind of repair
any ideas
thanks
if nothing is happening just the LED red blinks even when you put the device in the charge, its hard bricked and will be fixed just with opening the phone and relive it with test point ...

If it's brick, no prob, let's begin
Requirements:
The latest Flash Tools version, the latest FTF file of your phone, or any FTF file you want
Plug your phone to AC charger for about one or two minutes, and if you see red LED, now your phone is OK
1) If your phone has more than 50 percent charges, you can unplug it
2) If it has less 50 percent, let it charge for about an hour or more till it reaches 70 percent
So, no matter the first way or second, after you unplug it, now you can now connect your phone via USB and flash it
If you do everything correctly and if nothing goes wrong, after flashing, you can use your phone without any problem
If you couldn't do it, inform me to help you more

Try the hard brick fix (if you have warranty send to Sony instead). I doubt it'll do anything because it seems by your decription the hardware is damaged physically, but its worth a shot.

What should i do with this?? I hope it's not hardware failure.
Thx for the answer and suggestion.

if nothing is happening just the LED red blinks even when you put the device in the charge, its hard bricked and will be fixed just with opening the phone and relive it with test point ...
maybe this thread will help you:

Drain your battery completely
By Pressing and holding volume up and power button for 15 second, no vibration dont worry just hold it for 15 seconds and forget your phone for 1-2 days
Get working charger and usb cable check it then connect charger to phone there should be red light
Leave your phone for 3-4 hours
Now disconnect your phone from charger
Again check usb cable and drivers in pc
Open flashtool and get stock ftf ready for flashing
Once the dialog box appears with phone's animation
press and hold just volume down button and connect your phone with pc and immediately Release volume down button as soon as dialogue box disappears
Then disconnect phone when instructed in flashtool and wait for 4-5 minutes
Now try to turn on the phone.
Main thing is to have patience
This should work as i have my phone in same hardbricked state twice and this brought life in my phone back..!
This fixed mine

I've had exactly the same problem, nothing but the blinking red light. I replaced the battery (around $6 on aliexpress) and the phone worked again!

I hope, your solution works for me too. I ordered a battery and waiting for delivering it. If it won't work, I'll write here to help someone like us who wants to order a new battery.
Edit:
After battery changing, the phone worked. I don't know why, but it had been locked and rebooted repeatedly. Then I resetted to the factory settings. After that, it has been started to run well.
Hello everybody!
I'm new in this forum, I'm also new in Android "tuning", so I don't actually know, what to do in this situation. Ok, I've read other topics about this, but every other seems lighter than my problem.
Firstofall, I wanted to apologize for my english, but I hope, you could understand me. :fingers-crossed:
So, there is an Xperia T LT30p which has been owned by my girlfriend. She donated it to her mother and so on, so long story short, one day there appeared a key and exclamation mark in a yellow triangle (if I understood it right, I really don't know) and after that it was dead. I plugged it in wall charger - nothing, no vibration, no led, nothing, then waited for some time, nothing changed. Ok, removed the back cover, tested voltage on battery - 3,83V, not so dead, I guess... Then I started to read topics in here, sounds like a hard brick, but how to solve it..? I tried to power it up, nothing (as you expected), also tried every possible key combination (power + vol up, power + vol down, vol up/vol down + USB cable) - nothing at all, no vibration, no leds, nothing on the screen. Yesterday I downloaded PC companion, downloaded Flashtool, tried to connect it to PC, of course no drivers, but got the QHSUSB_DLOAD, so I guess, it's not that dead.
Oh yes, the only way how this phone is responding somehow is when I plug in the USB cable/wall charger with removed battery, then it does one red blink and that's all, nothing else. And that doesn't matter if there is any button pressed.
The main question is - what can I try to do in this situation? Is it fully dead?
I really hope for your answers and suggestions, otherwise, I don't really know what to do with that electronic mess on the table... :fingers-crossed:
Remove the battery and press and hold power and volume up buttons simultaneously. Then plug your phone to computer.
You'll be able to flash a kernel with Fastboot mode in Flashtool that way.
If you have the kernel the phone should boot past sony logo. You may then install whatever ftf you like via Flashtool.
Btw, I have read somewhere that the computer recognizing the phone as qhusb_dload is the result of a broken motherboard. Would make most sense anyway, as the phone was not rooted or anything.
I suggest trying above steps anyway.
Good luck!
The phone is not rooted or something, just a stock Xperia...
Just tried as you said, with removed battery pressed power + vol up simultaneously + USB - nothing, I got one red blink and nothing more, computer makes that ''no driver'' sound and that's all, flashtool doesn't find my device...
No wonder about defective motherboard, but the phone is bought in the summer 13', not so old for a phone... And what could had happened with this phone in just everyday use..?
Maybe overhearing or just bad luck with the motherboard.. Sometimes there is no explanation. :/
Is your phone still under warranty ?
Well, technically yes, but warranty card is hiding somewhere, and the phone is bought in an e-shop, i'm not sure if this shop won't send me a few doors further with my phone and I don't even know if this shop still exists..

Hi.
Not yet and I think I won't. I got an information about that sad day when this happened. Sony was upgrading an Android version but this process was interrupted somehow, so, I guess, it's quite dead...
