Just got my new sony experia z, charged it for an hour, put my SIM in and tried to turn it on. It constantly flashes on and off the Sony screen while its charging. When I turn it on it flashes the sony screen and turns off again. I've tried pressing the on button and the up button at the same time and it vibrates but nothing changes. The little red light comes on when it's charging. Have I simply not charged it enough or is it faulty?
Any help would be good

any help please!!
See if you sim is correctly inserted, take it off and put it again
Sounds like you need to charge it for longer before trying to turn it on, wait until the light goes green and then turn it on by holding the power button in (for about 3 seconds) until it vibrates...
Edit: Are you using the official charger? I remember using a mains charger (not usb) and the light stayed red, the light changes to green when charged which usually takes about half an hour.
My Htc one switched off after running out of battery a week ago and now will not turn on. When its on charge the led light at the top would just flash red, I've had it plugged into two different wall chargers for more than a day each but none would do the trick and I've also done all the other things I saw on other threads like shining it under a bright light whilst holding down the volume down and power button ect... , and repeatedly pressing the power button. Also when I connect it to my laptop it makes the noise that I've plugged it in but it will not pick it up :crying: Can someone please help me out here with any methods/ways of getting my phone to switch on and connect to my laptop (my phone is rooted and I can't send it back)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys, im facing a problem with my M7 a couple months, it only powers on when charging, tried to charge it for a entire day, but doesnt work. Tried the volume down + volume up + power keys for 2 min, and other stuff, but none of it have worked.
Everytime i turn on the battery shows a different value. if i plug off the wall charger, the phone suddenly shuts down.
What can it be?
Thank you!
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...

Hey all,
I recently got an Xperia X Performance that was sold to me as faulty.
At first I thought it was the battery as it wouldn't charge (No LED) and holding Vol + Power did nothing.
I got a new battery, installed it and won't turn on.
When I plug it into the AC Adapter, no LED comes on.
If I hold Vol+ Power it vibrates once, then 3 times and depending on how long I hold it for (Could be 10 seconds, could be a minute) it might do that cycle again.
If I let go at a certain point I have able to:
Have a Red LED constantly on, even when the USB is not connected.
Have a Green LED constantly on, also when the USB is not connected. (PC Won't recognize either)
And the Sony Logo flashes up on a white screen for a split second and turns off and then it's dead again.
Note: The phones motherboard does get warm when I have one of the LEDs on. So something is going on.
I tried using the Xperia Companion to repair it (Like I did with many Z phones back in the day when they did similar things and that always worked) - this one doesn't work at all. PC Doesn't detect it.
Tried on a Win 7 and Win 10 system, both no avail.
When I took the back cover off the phone, someone has used, what I thought to be super glue to seal it shut.
And the OG battery was loose inside the phone before I replaced it.
So I am thinking, either it's bricked or just completely dead.
Have yet to check with a multimeter on the USB port but I believe it is working.
If anyone has any suggestions, or maybe some sort of help - I have only seen this issue with the older Xperia Z phones. Help is needed!
Thanks heaps!

There is no method to fix it, unless change the motherboard. I had also meet this problem, maybe you can try setool.
