Xperia z not turn on (stuck on Sony logo) - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Short problem review. My brother used some custom rom for a while. Today he tried to install CM12,1 . He installed it by Cwm recovery. Everythink looks fine. After first start it was imposible even to unlock phone (all the time some programs stoped working...). After hard reset phone not turn on at all. It shows just SONY logo then 4seconds black screen and phone auto restart. And it never end. Is it posible that he break this phone? P.S. just one option works - fastboot mode (blue led). Sorry for poor english.
Maybe someone can give me some hints or tips what to do?

1. You can flash boot.img of any rom for yuga (i prefer boot.img of slimlp) through fastboot mod and after that go to recovery and install any rom.
2. You can flash stock if nothing work through flashmod.

Flash boot.img again as "kernel" not as system through flashtool and restart the phone. When sony logo appears press vol up or down constantly.

Try to reprogram ?

after restart i see sony logo and red led on corner and mili second green led (on this it should open recovery mode, but phone restart faster and i can't get on it)

could it be battery problem (dead battery)? the reason for flashing new rom was that this phone shutdown at 82% of batery remaining. Factory settings reset didn't helped so we installed other custom rom and now it is dead. Now without charger it dont start at all ( 3 times red led and thats all). If i leave it to charge but it restart and restart.

Camera and Charging Problem

X8 running MiniCM7 2.1.9 with nAa kernal-11
Camera
First access to camera since boot, it shows blank with camera framework there.
If i exit and return back to camera, the screen is now complete blank without camera framework. There saw once i got "Could not conect to camera" error.
Charging
Charge when phone is turned off, screen appreads with battery charging image. If i press on/off button to boot up rom, it stops charging(shown in settings>about phone>phonestatus) but my LED notification shows constant red.
Battery icon shows 0%
Sometimes after boot up it discharge at 18% and after sometime(i dont know how long or maybe it keeps on repeating) the phone restarts. and turn to 0%
Could it be virus? Cause my SDcard folders' name start to change to weird symbols.
Or because i dropped my phone on the floor?

Have you ever try to full wipe your phone?
Try to reinstalling your ROM, maybe it will help

Forgot to mention, i reinstalled 5-6 times the rom.
But havent data wipe.
Will the data cause these issues??
After i fix my sdcard, now the phone can be charged, but camera still dont work.
Do u have any partitions on ur SD card?that MIGHT have caused the camera issue.

no, 1 partition, FAT32, i didnt do anything to partition before this problem.
And now again the charging problem came, after i reinstall the rom.
Dont forget u need to factory reset after installing,it will only remove the stuff on ur phone not the memory card,anyway u can install em back
EDIT:Wait if i remember correctly,i used to use minicm7.2.x and after u install the kernel and rom u ALSO need to install gapps.zip files by flashing them with CWM,u better double check with the guys over at minicm thread .used to have charging problems cuz i forgot to install gapps.zip as adviced by them.
EDIT2:Yup u need to install gapps (google apps) there is a link there for you to download it,all u need to do is follow all the instruction given and it will be fine.

did you try to revert back to Stock ROM and Kernel?
if the problems gone, i think that's not a hardware problem..
do you have somekind like travel charger? you can charge your battery if your phone won't charge..

did you try different charger? maybe the problem is in your charger,
Listen here,its IMPORTANT to install gapps if u havent alrdy.
Step 1 flash kernel
Step 2 reboot to CWM then factory reset (full wipe) MAKE SURE U DO THIS.
Step 3 install rom minicm7.2.1.x and then gapps
Step 4 reboot,takes 2 ~ minutes
GAPPS is a VITAL Step it has nothing to do with ur charger nor hardware.
Edit:i know i might not be an x8 user anymore,but i had that problem because i didnt read the instructions propely.
Edit2: im using a apple wall charger and it works fine,charging my Xperia Neo V.

if don't facing the problem with stock rom/ stock kernel, then your phone doesn't work perfectly with custom kernel or ROM. or maybe there are step that you didn't take it

maybe, but first time i unlock bootloader, and use minicm7, no problem at all.
and there's some problem with battery now. Overnight 100% will become 0 %
I think its because malfunctioning camera keep running background, let me try to freeze it and see the result.

or, you can try to reinstall your custom ROM, and then full wipe data.
don't install any application except the preinstalled application built-in with ROM.
let the phone running normaly, if your battery doesn't face the problem, maybe there's some application causing that problem in your phone

[Q] Soft/Hard Bricked n7000?

Hey Guys im new here. In a REAAALYY messed up situation right now.
PLEASE HELP!!!:crying::crying::crying:
Had Carbon kitkat 4.4.2 rom flashed with Philz touch 6.19.
Phone suddenly crashed while using Whatsapp. It did not switch on,when i tried.
Tried re-flashing original stock 4.1.2 firmware (india version,coz im in India).
Used only PDA file(thats what was suggested in a website).
Flashed with Odin 3 v3.07. Got a "PASS" message.
BUT now came the problem. Phone got stuck at Samsung logo and switched off. Battery was about 70%
So I removed battery and restarted phone but same problem. Then I booted phone to stock recovery.
Did "data wipe/factory reset" and then "reboot now" option. Same result,i.e booted till samsung logo and then switched off.
So I again re-flashed stock 4.1.2 firmware(india version),but this time using Odin 3 v3.04(i know it may not make a difference).
Again got a "PASS" message.
Now, it started booting ,started downloading apps(eg:"downloading apps 32 of 63"...,etc).
After this phone booted to Stock Recovery.
This time i did "Reboot now"
It rebooted back to Stock recovery.
Again i did "reboot system" and then it booted back to stock recovery.
So kinda stuck in stock recovery loop.
If i unplug phone from PC,none of the buttons give a reponse(No download mode,stock recovery)
Is it hard bricked,coz when i plug phone back,i can get to download mode and stock recovery,just that it keeps rebooting to stock recovery again and again.
PLEASE HELP. Found everywhere on the net possible,couldn't find anything!
My dad would kill me if he got to know! :crying::crying::crying:
i know im asking for too much,being a new member,but please reply ASAP. Im freaking out here
Instead of pc, check with the charger connected... Could be a battery issue.

Maybe.But my battery was perfect before all this problem started. Its weird if it would just die off suddenly.
Also, i tried the wall charger,and the cable with another phone and its working properly.
I also tried charging with another charger,
Anyway, i tried charging via wall adapter, but then it automatically boots into Stock Recovery, even if i do not press any buttons.
even If i remove battery,put it on again and then put phone on charge,it automatically boots into stock recovery, without pressing any buttons.
And of course,pressing"reboot now" again boots it back to stock recovery.
Odin flash was successful with "PASS" message, and also i tried to factory reset and then "reboot sys now" but it made no difference.

Do u have KIES Disabled during odin? Are you using odin as Administrator? Did u disable firewall and antivirus when flashing with odin? Do u have the necessary files to root it in your sd card?A suggestion only that in your state, try rooting, installing recovery, and flash a custom rom to check if it boots
Note: You don't really have to install india vers. just because you're in india. Try newest ver available.

Try flashing philz ddlsc kernel using odin. Then boot into recovery. This time you will get cwm. Format system, data cache and preload. Then go to advanced menu/power options and choose reboot download. Connect to pc and flash the rom again.

and if it did , did it boot up into the last firmware you had tried to flash?(i.e.,ICS,GB or JB)?

Charging device when switched off reboots to TWRP

Hey
I have a problem with my device; Whenever it is switched off and I plug the charger on it always boots to TWRP but it does not work- The touch screen doesn't work and pressing the power button locks it and cant swipe meaning I have to manually reboot it.
Thanks

There are a lot of other threads talking about this this problem is known, and there's no solution yet (we have to wait for official twrp support). The only solution for now is to reflash original recovery.img and get back to stock recovery

that shows only when you booting into recovery. the only way is to flash stock recovery
Oh, well, it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue.
However, why should I flash stock recovery? I mean, there are no further issues, the phone still charges while in this state, and I can reboot it with my PC. There is one thing I'm worried about;
What if I turn off USB debugging? If I would end up in the "stuck recovery" after I have done so, would I be unable to get out?
And also, I think there is a possible fix.. Wouldn't it be possible to reboot the phone by just pulling out the battery and turning the phone back on? Yes I know, "battery is not removable" but I'm pretty sure it is, it always is. It's not going to be easy tho.

i don't see why you have to switch off your phone. theres a lot of options in stock rom like "do not disturb", "airplane mode" etc so you don't have to switch off.
It seems this problem happens when you reboot your phone while charging ( i never had problems) try to avoid that.
ps - i never switch off my phone and only reboot it if needed or maybe once a month. But thats me.

I never turn my phone off, but sometimes I can't charge my phone in time and the battery runs dry. See? I can't reboot at 0%, so I have to charge it a little. Now you could tell me that it still isn't a problem, since the phone still charges in recovery and I can use commands to reboot system.. sure, but I'm working on a way to prevent anyone from entering recovery or using adb-debugging or hard resetting my phone (from a distance, if phone is stolen). This would turn off adb-debugging, causing the phone to be stuck in recovery for ever, if it were to charge in off mode. I guess I'm the only one having a problem with the bug

You can remote reset your phone using Google device manager. You can ring, lock or erase phone and check last location.

I'm using avast since there are more options for rooted devices I'm well aware of the google device manager, but thank you anyway!
I'm using the Honor 7 with TWRP 3.0.2.0by paulobrien and Unofficial CM13 by papsi177 and having the same issue.
When charging while the device is turned off, it automatically boots into twrp. Does anyone have a solution? Are there other recoveries (except the stock recovery) which doesn't have this problem? Is it somehow possible to modify e.g. a file to have a nice charging animation instead?
It isn't that big issue, but it would be nice to solve this anyway...

I found that users phones and recovery gets different reactions.
When i tried cm12 i had that same "issue" but with cm13 i had the battery animation. Same thing with getting phone freeze when battery run out.
The best chance is to try different recovery versions and hope for the best.
That said, i only switch off phone when battery died on me.
im currently still with TWRP 2.7.1.0-20140802

I'll try to downgrade and see if my charging animation gets back ?
Try the new TWRP 3.0.2-0 from nightcore500. The freeze in charging only mode is fixed on his recovery

Probably battery is not holding enough charge, it probably needs to be replaced

Most probably a software problem. If it's not holding enough charge it will not boot at some time. By boot loops do yo mean trying to boot and then reboot or not booting at all after some time and just flashing red led? Explain what is the exact behavior of the phone. Flash .207 firmware with flashtool and check if the problem still persist.

this is how the problem goes:
Full charge: 100% working, if i take the phone under charge i can do quiete anything and i got no problems.
-after some hours (charge close 70%): the phone starts act slow, and some apps crash until the phone restart itself. this reboot never work until i put under charge, so this is the boot loop that i was talking about.
So: charge 70%--->restart---->bootloop---->charge reach green light--->work normally
you suggest me an original firmware to flahs ?
Flash the latest stock rom 4.3 AU .207 with flashtool maybe this could solve your problem

tried, doesn't work...

Flashed X Performance to XZ's. Won't boot, and cannot flash it again.

I was flashed X Perf. to XZs and won't work. flash mode too cannot work, only blinking green light, like a boot into flashmode and connect to pc, over and over. and nothing. pc don't see any device, like i did not booted into flashmode.
fastboot working, unlocked after bootloader, can flash, but wont flash custom rom, says size too large, before is flash properly already file.
i can erase all, can format all, twrp won't work properly. but can flash custom rom. when i flash rom, device gonna reboot over and over. and won't boot on.
i think maybe problem is in root memory of the phone, where is basic informations for next systems and data's. maybe if can someone backup all of that data's, and share, we can ressurrect our x per. who have same problem...
i don't know. if sombody knows how to ressurrect anwer there, or any help.
thanks for all

Sorry, I do not understand you perfectly?
you have an Xperia XZ, right? so you should flash a compatible ROM for XZ.
Why did you flash an X Performance ROM on your XZ phone?

i was flash, stock xz's rom, to x performance, and thats it
any solution ???
And u have bricked phone
1. I honestly wana flash XZ rom on XZs to try! since both are very similar devices!
2. wrong kernel means! device is STUCK on black screen! / sony makes beasts, / not easily to hard brick
3. PRESS POWER + VOLUME UP keys together and hold for 15+ secons untill xzs JERKS thrice! , release both button atonce,
4. now device is FORCE SHUTDOWN out from any bad flashing!
5. try connecting it in to flashmode now! , it should work! ,
6. if you ever able to boot in XZ or X, (android 6.01) build, try extracting drmkeys from xzs , you will be doing something WONDER !!!
7. if everything fails, the rubber band trick works! , tie across (horizontally) the xzs in a way that volume downkey is always pressed by rubber band. keep it overnight. the battery will drainout to zero and device will sleep. then connect to wallcharger, charge it overnight untill u see red blinking led and finally red led then NO led. at this point try connecting your device in flash mode
NEVER BOOT AGAIN! once you are out from this kernel! whenever device shuts down, immediatel connect it in flashmode

and you tried the 3jerk trick of holding keys (volume up + powerkey) (15secs)
how about draining battery ?

I can tell you a nice news, you're done with SONY. I think u can only revert ur phone if u change mother board, or maybe in test mode, i was not tried, im sold my bricked phone...
If u don't do it anything, collect money and buy some other brand... I moved on S8+. Big difference bettwen SONY, and Samsung is not great eithter, they appeared in circles under touch glass, but does not bother... "Difference is big"
P.S. Never try to flash/convert phone of different model number, to another. Advice, if buying new phone, look for international version.. no Japan, or China, or Korea models. Only Inter... Like (f8131, 8132[dual-sim], SM-G955F/FD... etc) and u will ged always newest firmware, and community, if u dont have latest, than flash... (flash other region which have latest already), but now u will not brick phone. Good luck
you are 100 percent right.
by the way i flashed many sony phone converting it to international but this x performance gave me a headache now. i took it to the software repairer and according to him the boot loader file is missing and cannot be found on internet so far. so the set is bricked right now and left it like it to the repairer shop and expecting may be any solution. but i guess nothing going to change any thing
will check how much i m getting if i sell it like in this condition
