I REALLY need help
Sometimes when i plug the charger into my Xperia z, it instantly shuts off and boots on
A week ago, i plugged it in, it restarted and i went to lunch.
When i came back, i couldnt turn the Phone on, i literally tried EVERYTGING (every buttom combination possible), the LED didnt turn on and the Phone didnt respond to anything.
Just completely dead.
I charged it for 3 h and because the LED didnt even turn on while charging, i thought the battery might be broken.
So i removed the backcover, unplugged the battery and plugged in the charger.
There was finally a sign of hope when the LED turnt red, but as soon as i plugged the battery in again (with the charging cable still in) the LED turnt off.
So i ordered a new battery, put it in and charged it for 2h, still the exact same issue.
If anyone has a clue of whats the issue or experienced it himself, please help me.
Phone specs:
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom dual recovery with twrp and philz recovery installed, stock rom with android 5.0.1, about 2.5 years old, perfectly functioning until this issue occured

Hello, when I got my g1 it wouldn't charge phone would boot up when it was plugged in the light would come on and it would display "charging 0%" on the lock screen and would shut off whenever it was unplugged, with some messing around, rebooting removing reinstalling battery and plugging and unplugging the phone I managed to get it to start charging, all was great other than the battery only lasted like 3 hours, and whenever the phone lost power either by pulling the battery or even shutting it off properly it would revert back to 0% and wouldn't charge again till I messed with it and it would work again, so I ordered a new battery, when it came in I installed it and everything was awesome, I could restart the phone or remove the battery flash roms all that good stuff like it was supposed to, till yesterday, I have had the replacement battery about a month now and my phone was running low on charge since I wouldn't be home for a while I shut it down to save it for later, I was walking by the phone sitting there and I saw the back light turn on and off so I thought dang back to the same ol problem, tried to turn it on and just a dim red led and no power on, when I got home plugged it in let it charge for a few min and held the power button I got the red led and it finally turned on to "charging 0%" I was mad at it tested voltafe at battery terminals and phone terminals plugged in power everywhere it should be but still no turn on, I didn't my messing around again and got it to charge but it was back to 3 hour or so battery life and it would be at 0% if I shut it down, I don't think its the connection with the battery because I haven't removed it in a good 3 weeks or shut the phone off since my last flash 3 weeks ago.
It did this with the first battery before I rooted but here's current setup
Phone is black g1 drea100
Rom htc adp-drc83 rooted base with exp pack
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Recovery ra-dream-v1.5.2
Thanks for any help
My Xperia is rooted, has recovery and the bootloader is unlocked, I use the stock ROM.
It went smoothly (done it several months ago), but yesterday, the battery emptied so I put it on charge. Today I tried to turn it on, but it didn't work; whenever I press the power button, the LED blinks red. I tried fastboot and flashmode, but none of it works. My PC detects it as an unknown device when I try to turn it on. once
If that helps, it turns on once in a while with CWM.
Anyone can help?

EDIT: looks like I used a loose cable and the battery didn't charge at all. God, I feel so dumb.

hello;
I had the same problem , I searched on the web for solutions and found something like charging phone overnight , key combinations but nothing helped; my phone was completely dead ; but I did something and phone is now alive; I removed screw of the phone , opened panel; removed battery connector and connected phone to wall charger , by this time phone showed sony logo like on startup , then immediately connected battery connector and left phone to charge for several minutes ; it was showing only sony logo when was charging, after 15-20 minutes disconnected phone from charger , screen went off and after this i reconnected charger, it showed battery screen and started charging with battery and thunder logo; thats all, it was the only solution for me.

I'm so sorry for causing you the trouble of this....
Turned out that the cable I used is loose and it didn't charge or anything
Hello, just about to pull the trigger on a new xperia ZU, but i wanted to see if anyone had any tricks for me to try on my Xperia Z. I was running near the latest CM 10.2 without issues for awhile now. Last night while i was bowling the battery died( nothing new happens all the time to me ). When i returned home i hooked it up to the wall charger for about 30 minutes, came back and still no life. I have tried multiple chargers and multiple cables with no luck. Device has been plugged into power all night and all day so far. When i attempt to power on with it unplugged i get the 3 pulse red led. When i hit the power button with it plugged in all i get is a solid red LED. Nothing more, nothing less. Cant get into recovery or anything. Most of the time a hard brick involves a mis flash or something along those lines....any idea what could have happened to mine?

It might be the battery...
Its not advisable to full discharge the battery but it seems that u did it a few times..
The battery might not take any charge as the red indicator means low battery...
Tried a new battery,i know after removing the rear panel n say good bye to water resistance but is worth a try...
Or u can send it to me for free if u wanted to throw it away...
hope this helps...
Had the same thing happen
I had the same thing happen to me. From what I read trying to troubleshoot it seems like the Xperia phones in general can take 30 minutes + after a full battery drain to even register that a charger is connected. I would try just connecting it to the Sony charger for a few hours and see if that works.
There is also a tip about holding down the power button when plugging in the USB charger and continuing to hold the power button until the phone turns on. Unfortunately, can not find the original post right now. EDIT: Found it. http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-T-TX/Xperia-T-Wont-Charge-Turn-On/td-p/252686/page/4
In my case the red light would not even come on when the charger was connected but would come on if I held the power button down while connecting the charger. After I did this for a couple minutes the phone booted and has charged normally ever since.
So its a mixed bag. Try just charging it for a while on the Sony charger or wall charger (not USB). Or try the power button trick.
Lesson I learned is I will not let the battery completely drain again.
Ahhahha it came back alive! I had tried pretty much every trick that has been suggested and it just wouldn't charge or start to boot. Left it on the main charger again last night and still no luck this morning. Again I decided to plug it into my computer's usb port( I did this multiple times already ) and I hit the power button, a backlight came on!!! and then sure enough there was the free xperia logo! I have no idea why it finally decided to power on, but its showing 1% battery so it was truly not charging any of the times it was left on a charger, computer or mains. Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it!
I know this thread is pretty old. But I'm having the same trouble. Xperia Z got bricked after battery drain. It wont recognize charging, i kept it on charge two nights in a row now. It did show a red LED while charging for some time and nothing else, but now its back to being stone dead. tried holding down the power button trick, didnt budge. I thought you can only hardbrick it by doing a wrong flash/update. dont know what happened in this case. is there anything else I should try or just take it to a shop and ask to change the battery?

man, try with a new battery, here in my country cost 14 euro . Or go in a service or buy a multimeter and measure the current of ur battery. Normal they from service will give u electrosock to bring it to life. And if will dont work i think u must sell it on piece and buy another
Same problem with my Z3 Compact: one day phone became hot and started to discharge rapidly and when battery became empty, cannot charge and cannot boot, only red LED is ON. I changed the battery and phone booted again. BUT when battery was discharged completely, phone cannot boot again, only red LED is on when trying to charge.
Looks like something wrong with motherboard is happening...
Xperia ZL battery completely drained, not starting up
I know this thread is old one, but I am having issue with my Xperia ZL. Its battery drained to zero and then whenever I plug in my charger, screen starts, Xperia Logo pops up, red light also starts and suddenly everything goes off. This goes on and on infinite number of times. Phone heats up but it doesn't turn on. I had issue with my battery, a couple of months back, so I replaced it with new one. If anybody has any solution about this, please let me know.
xperia z bootloop
im stuck on bootloop and apps keep on optimising through the cycle. phone overheats too .. how do i sort this one out? ..might it be a bad battery? any help on this
Just happened after nowhere. I got my hands on a z1 from a friend with a fully charged battery. Since I didnt have a simcard on the phone I turned it off. Now it wont turn on and the the red light in blinking when charging. Looks like a discharged battery but i dont know what to do. It's plugged on a 2A charger for about half an hour now but there's no sign of life. is there anything I can do?
PS: the bootloader is locked and I didnt messed with the system in anyway, it's was just factory reset

Use the official charger (that is 1.5A) and report back..
Else try to send it to service
Left it charging the whole night but still just the blinking red led. Since it's not on warranty anymore I don't think it's worth sending it to service. I'll penalty try to reconnect the battery to see if it helps
@Castro27 Try flashing the stock firmware via flashtool its very easy and it will bring life to your phone...
I have a strange problem. My Z1 was in the original dock charger over the night. The alarm woke me up in the morning and the battery was 100% full. An hour later it did not switch on. I have tried to put it to a original USB charger and a red light is flashing fast and continuously. I have tried to press power+vol down key and nothing happens. Is my battery dead? I don't mean fully discharged, but dead.
Hi,
After many years of enjoying this magnificent phone the disaster came.
The phone discharged overnight and switched off. In the morning I had to send some texts, so plugged the wall charger into USB socked (a weak one ~500mA), after few moments a charging icon appeared and stated that battery has 1%. Ok, I really had to send those messages: I've pressed the power button and phone started to boot.
Sony logo: OK, purple wave, OK...
After 10-20 seconds it suddenly switched of, red LED started to blink.
I thought: OK, system startup needs a lot of power, maybe a charger is too week to keep up.
So I left phone for few more minutes to charge, but without success.
That was the last time I saw screen was on.
Phone is a C6903, running on a stock, rooted 14.6.A.1.236 with the recent XZRecovery.
Bootloader has been unlocked.
For the moment I've tried everything but opening back and doing the testport-trick.
When I connect the power only red led blinks (I left the phone charging overnight, no change).
When I try to enter flash mode: nothing happens but red blinking light.
When I try to start phone nothing happens at all.
But there is still hope:
I connected the phone to 2A charger using a magnetic cable.
Then I've connected normal USB cable to my PC, strange thing started to happen:
When I pressed volume Up (even after few minutes of connecting power+usb) the phone suddenly jumped to fastboot mode (blue led, it was discovered by PC, fastboot terminal was functional)
When I press power button, phone vibrates for a second, then the led pattern changes to: 1s red followed by 0.1s green, then long red, then it repeats...
I'm still unable to enter any recovery nor flashmode...
I'd really appreciate any help, have you got any ideas left how can I revive my phone?

Hi, this just happened to me, my phone has been dead for over 4 weeks with just the red led blinking. i tried the test point thing with no success at that point I gave up but last week i decided to get a new genuine battery and it worked it booted up. Your battery is just completely dead thats why it won't boot up!

Thanks for the info! I've ordered a replacement battery already.
I'll open my phone today and measure all voltages. I'll keep you updated.
Good luck

Yup! That was it (at least I think so, I don't have new battery yet)
The Al part of positive battery terminal was broken: I have no idea why, maybe because of age, oxidation and high currents that were drained from this LiPo cell...
Anyway I've managed to temporarily join two broken Al parts, kernel and recovery booted successfully.
Now I need to wait for a replacement battery.
Phone is alive again, thanks tilakpatel for help!
But the magnetic cable trick might be useful in other hardbrick cases: just connect magnetic charger, connect normal USB cable to PC and hold volUp. Phone should be able to enter fastboot even with completely drained battery...
