Did you try just waiting for a couple of minutes to see if this disappears?
I had the same problem just a day before I wanted to sell my Xperia T. I had numerous problems with flashing stock and after 2 hours and successful flashing the phone was stuck on that stupid "triangle and screwdriver' thingy. I just plugged it to a charger, placed the phone in cold place (it gets warm pretty fast) and just left it there until it fixed itself
And I still don't know why it happened and why it took that long. I had this "triangle and screwdriver" thingy for a couple of times but these sequences were really short.
But this time... Idon't know exactly how much time it took but it was surely several minutes... 35-45 I think.

[Q] [Xperia T]Can't unlock after charging

Hi, I just got my Sony Xperia T (build number : 7.0.A.3.195 & still full stock) a few days back. Since that, I have an issue when the charge is done.
I have to hard reboot the phone because I can't unlock the screen. Even when I unplug the cable the led stay green and didn't detect the unplug.
It's pretty inconvenient to have to do a hard reboot each morning.
Am I the only one in this case ?
Hardware failure? I guess the best thing you can do is to return it to the shop.

try resetting the phone, but backup first. sometimes green led stays on for minute or two after unplugg, but I can normally unlock phone.

I had the same issue this morning... I'll see with the shop to exchange it...

[Q] Z1 wont boot, 3 short vibrations

I have Z1 with latest stock firmware.
Yesterday My phone suddenly went off (could be went to empty battery) and won't start.
If I plug it to changer - screen lights up, shows SONY logo, then charging indicator and screen goes black after like 15s.
Clicking Power button forces phone to vibrate 3 times briefly, with led off. After a few seconds - led goes red, sony logo shows up, charging indicator.
I cant do anything else, without changer I cant even get these 3 vibrates.
----
In the past a few times I was unable to start the phone with some chargers, if batter have been emptied, looked like they were too week to provide required current (on of them was 0.7A), but changing chargers usually helped to boot the phone. This time - it doesn't :/
Any ideas?

Can you get into flash mode?

Seems like semi brick
Read the gides they are tons of them
Leave it on a mains charger for 24 hours then try again. If that doesn't boot it, then flash a stock FTF or force a software repair on PCComapnion
I'll try to do software repair on PCComapnion. Looks like a good tutorialtalk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Ion/Detailed-Software-Repair-Instructions-using-Pc-Companion-Windows/td-p/249946?
Does this 3 short vibrates has some special meaning?
----
I just noticed some fog under camera lenses, I have no idea how it got here :/
I've read that back cover is glued to the phone. Is it possible that this glue layer got faulty and let water in because phone was overheating? E.g. playing some games was cousing it to get really hot.

No.
But I don't know if my phone is off, or just screen is blank. But after pushing off button (the red one next to SIM), holding volume down and plugging to PC - nothing happens.
Sometimes windows tells me that malfunctioned USB device was connected :/
Download flashtool by Androxyde. Search an good ftf and download it into the firmware folder from flashtool. Your phone must be powered off now. Open flashtool and click the lightning icon. Select flashmode and load the firmware. Wait till a new window appears and then press volume down. Hold it and plug in the micro usb cable from your pc to your phone. Flashtool now flashes the firmware and your phone is probably working fine again! Did you have any backups? I often backup my phone to prevent data loss in this kind of situations! Hope this works for you!

Yes, it shutting Down. To be sure just keep pushing Volume UP + Power Button and when you will feel 3 vibration then you can be sure the phone is completely off. Hold Volume down and plug into PC, you phone should be recognize in Flashmode.
I took it to warranty service, apparently they had to replace main board :|
As far as they told me, they tried to reinstall software, but it failed.
Now I have Andorid 4.4 (was this already officially released for Z1 wordwide?)
My z1 totalled itself overnight... left on charge overnight and took it off charge and... nothing.. totally dead.. tried everything. . All of the button combinations even the red reset button but nothing. . No lights showing no vibration. . Have had to take it in to Vodafone for a repair.. I really am disappointed with this fone... I wont get it back until at least 6th May!.... wish I had waited for the m8 instead of getting this pile of junk...
Z1 vibrates three times and turns off! TRY THIS!
My friend, it happened with me and in my case I am sure it was caused by water even with the covers closed properly the water goes where it shoud not go. After my phone died I put It to charge and the sony logo appeared and started to charge normaly but when i tried to turn it on the phone would vibrate 3 times and start all over again on the charging screen.
The only solution was to use a hair dryer, First step: take your sim card and memory card out of the device sou the air can circulate better. Now use the hair dryer in the hot mode, becareful not to damage getting it too close to the phone but know that it should get hot enough to vaporize the water inside so it has to get a high temperature.
Move the hair dryer heating all sides of the phone and inside where you opened the covers. I had to do it for a long time to make it work again. the phone is working fine now, just as it was before.
Dont believe sony about been waterproof, it can become an expensive nightmare, only use in water if you really need, many people are having problem even with covers well closed and if you still do it, make sure you don´t press the power or volume buttons under water.
I hope it works for you!!

Yes! Exactly, at least about the not-really-water-proof part... Happened to my gf's Z1. We left the phone in rice for a whole 24 hours and that did it for us... A little less agressive than the dryer, but same cause/result.
EDIT: grammar

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

It happened exactly the same with mine. I was on stock rom, and went to the swimming pool with it. But the stripe is white.
I cannot turn it on and only get the red light blinking when is plugged into the charger...

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.

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 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.

[Q] Black screen of death ? Any survivors ?

Hello all,
I own a Z3 Compact since now 4 months, I bought it abroad, in Qatar and went back to Belgium after.
Overall, I'm very happy of it. Nothing to say.
Yesterday, the phone was almost full in battery, connected in bluetooth in the car... I tried to pick it up and turn it on, it wasn't working anymore. The screen stay black. I tried to turn it off, then on, impossible.
I tried to push the vol up and down then power button all together during 30 sec, nothing worked.
I tried to press the yellow button near the sim card, nothing helped.
I also tried to do all those combinations with the power plug connected, but even the power led is not showing up !
The phone seems to be turned off and I'm unable to turn it on again. I've read some forums and it looks like it's a common problems with Sony Xperia phones (ex: Link).
The date on the paper near the sim slot says 14W36 (Year 2014, Week 36).
I'm wondering if I should return the phone to Sony for warranty ?
If yes, do you think it will work even if the phone hasn't been bought in Belgium ?
Thanks

Hello,
The phone doesn't even get recognized by any software on the PC.
Anyway, the phone will be returning in waranty tomorrow morning, I'm crossing my fingers.
Such problem makes me really wonder if these phone are worth it.
Hi,
The phone went back in warranty in a Sony repair center in Alsace (FR).
They replaced the motherboard, not the phone is working perfectly.
I hope I won't have the problem again.

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.

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.

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?
