My Xperia Z1 died without reason. (Dead like in nothing happens, not even a led when connected to USB).
I tried everything to revive it. Finally, I opened it and removed the battery for 5 minutes. After that, at least the led showed a color when connected. But still cannot turn it on.
I tried with the Xperia Companion to "fix the phone", and the process worked well. But then, the phone still does not turn on.
When it is disconnected, nothing happens, it is just a brick. If it is connected, it turn on the LED in blue, but nothing else. Some times, after pressing power and the volume buttons, it shows the battery level.
Any help? I do not know what else to do.

Thank you for replying.
I did that already (5 minutes instead of 1), but did not work. At this point I started to think that it is a hardware problem, because when the cable is not plugged the phone does not turn on (and when it is plugged it only charge, or turn on in that bizarre Xperia flashboot mode).
maybe it is a battery problem which it damaged
Thanks for the reply. It doesn't seem so, because it does not start even when I remove the battery and try with the phone plugged.
Anyway, I already gave up on it.

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.

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, I've got problem with my wife's galaxy s advance.
The phone has a latest stock rom, i don't know which one. (chacked in phone for updates like 2 weeks ago and it said that there were none). It was unlocked.
The phone was never flashed or rooted.
It was left with a charger plugged in yesterday for the whole night.
When we wake up, the phone was off.
Now if you plug in the charger it vibrates shortly after three seconds, no light no nothing.
If you press power it also vibrate shortly - nothing more happnes.
I tried to go to download mode or rcovery - nothing.
Tried to plug in to a pc using USB but it is the same...
Any ideas?
Is it only the battery or is the phone dead?
I got some progres
I plugged the phone to my pc with a diffrent cable, there is a plug in and plug out windows sound, the battery indicator shows up for like 5s, it is very low and the pattern starts all over again, i'll just leave it like this and see what happens
Maybe your wall charger is broken, try another one
AntaresOne - of course, I tried like 5 of them...
the phone reacts only in the pc, fter couple of minutes is still doing the "charge loop"
I've checked the USB in my pc and it's the "always on" one, maybe it provides more Ampers?
After an hour or so it stopped "charge looping" and started to just charge
Now is 28% and everything's back to normal.
Case closed
The phone (C5303 - Stock ROM - Locked BL - No Root) was working normally. The last time I checked, it had 60% battery.
The phone suddenly stopped working.
I tried to turn on the phone. Nothing Happened.
I tried to hard reset. Nothing Happened.
I even tried to charge the phone... Even the red illumination light was not working!! Hence, nothing happened at all.
I couldn't find a solution to this...Please help!! :crying: :crying:

I would suggest for you to first, hold the off button under the battery cover for about 20 seconds. This might stimulate "battery removal" on the SP. Afterwards, try plugging in the wall charger and see if the device react.

Let it charge using a wall socket for atleast 12 hours!

Did that. Still no change.
No red LED light, no vibration, even the screen is not on.
If pressing the yellow button on the back for 10 seconds doesn't work after charging it for 12 hours, you either have a faulty charger or a dead phone. (hardware failure)
Last chance would be to use a different charger. If that doesn't work, you will have to return your phone and file a warranty claim if you have NOT unlocked your bootloader nor rooted it.
Should you have rooted or unlocked your phone then I can only suggest visiting this link: http://tinyurl.com/n35lsjn

Well, it's definitely not rooted or unlocked. And it's warranty has been expired (more than 1 year old).
I guess I'll go the Sony service center or else, the championship!!
Thanks for the support anyways!! :good:
Hi,
Couple of days ago same happened to me.
I just took phone to hand and realized that its completely dead. Just like this, without a reason. No vibrations, led blinks, no reaction for any button combinations, plug-in charger and so on.
After a long time of fighting, reading forums, youtube clips etc. something started to change and prevented me to buy another phone.
First symptom was that in time where power button is pressed the red light had blinked two times shortly and then again and again. When button had been released again nothing.
Then I've been trying to connect phone to PC in flashmode. It has failed but I've observed that right after usb connector is plugged, windows knows that something has been connected ( "USB device connected" sound) but 2 -3 seconds later
disconnected ("USB device disconnected sound"). In this moment PC companion even was able to complete step "connect the device" but right after that it returned error (disconnect device, connect again and try again).
Then I connected phone to wall charger again. Now, when I do this, in first moment i see short blink of red light and immediately after this it starts to shine constantly for a couple of minutes. After that red light goes out for another couple of minutes and whole sequence repeats again and again in loop (short red light -> long red light-> no light).
I've red somewhere that constant red light means that phone battery has not enough power even to run charging mode via kernel (not enough power to run kernel). The suggestion is to be patient and charge the phone via wall charger for 15 or 20 hours, what currently happens. I'm still waiting for miracle. I could buy new battery but I wouldn't like to do this for nothing.
If you have any suggestions or advices/confirmation what the red light sequence means please feel free to comment @karan please share with us the result of service intervention and root cause of issue if possible. Thx in advance.
ps. additionally I've discovered that usb cable which I used is broken. different phone connected via this cable to pc is not recognized (nothing happens) but under another cable it does normally. It might be the reason of problems but I have no Idea if it could result the battery dead.
Hi,
Anyone knows if phone should work without battery? I've seen such information on polish android forum however when I unplugged the battery and plugged charger nothing happened. Only one short red blink and then nothing. If phone should work in such state it means that my problem is not related to battery.
My Xperia Z will not boot; the red LED flashes three times when I attempt to turn it on. I have tried resetting using the power button and volume up (most of the time it does not produce a response, but if it is plugged into my computer it will, where the LED will only turn off for maybe two seconds before coming back on), I have tried unplugging the battery (I have done this multiple times and on two occasions left it unplugged for over a week), I have tried flashing multiple different firmwares through Flashtool (they flash successfully but the phone still does not boot) and I have tried charging it for days and even a week one time with different chargers, but it still refuses to turn on.
This issue first occurred after I replaced the antenna flex cable and the buttons/microphone flex cable due to accidentally breaking them whilst replacing the LCD. I think this issue may have started because the battery was only on 7% when I disconnected it to replace the two parts, but I fail to see how this would discharge the battery so much? I am willing to purchase another battery if I can be certain that it will fix this issue.
Unlike some on this forum in other threads I have read through, the Sony logo does not come up at all, the screen is black the entire time. Also, when plugged into my Windows 8.1 laptop the computer tries to install drivers and says that it does not recognize the device "USB device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". When now attempting to put into flashmode connecting it to a USB 2.0 port the phone does not respond for five seconds, then the LED flashes green then red immediately after, before the LED goes off again, then the firmware is flashed (successfully). Attempting to put the phone into flashmode when connected to a USB 3.0 port will only result in the LED turning red.
Thanks for your time, this is really frustrating me, and any help would be greatly appreciated
Help please, anyone?
Sometime i wake up and my phone is turned off , when i try to turn it on it flashes 3 red lights , charging would make it turn on , so 3 red flashes is from battery and since you can successfully flash frimware than it is not bootloader problem , it is either battery or something else is destroyed inside your phone , first try another ftf

Thanks, I have tried two alternate ftf files with no luck, but I will try a third and see how that goes Yeah, it's okay if the current battery is faulty and buying a new one that will fix the problem, but I don't want to waste money if that isn't the problem
Do you have 12v car charger. Try to charge with it. Helped to wake up my phone last week after too much drain to the battery
My phone was not entering flashmode just before when I was trying to flash a different ftf file, so I wondered what would happen if I disconnected the battery, and then tried it. I first just connected the phone without the battery and got a solid blue light from the LED. Then when I tried entering flashmode without the battery connected it worked! So since I can successfully flash ftf files without the battery connected I'm assuming the issue is the battery, or could it possibly be the part of the motherboard which the battery connects to like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/hardware-fix-xperia-z-charging-booting-t2760911 ?

I do have one somewhere, but I think it's broken The issue must be related to the battery or battery connection now, so I need to figure out which of the two it is before I take any further steps to fix it?
So I ordered a replacement battery and when first connected the phone would not turn on. After charging for a little while the LED went red, and the phone now vibrates when I attempt to turn it on and also when I try to reset it. So the vibrations feel correct (it vibrates once when turning on, once when volume up and power have been held for five seconds, and three times when volume up and power for ten or so seconds), but it still refuses to boot. I have tried three different chargers for extended periods of time, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery multiple times and have flashed a different .ftf file, but all to no luck. My Windows 8.1 laptop computer still says that the USB device is not recognised and nothing seems to be progressing
Is there anything more that I can do from here to try to fix it? Anything would be so greatly appreciated
Bump :fingers-crossed:
Mainboard may be broken.
I had this problem after flashing a wrong recovery but the symptoms were the same. I sent it to a repair center and they changed my mainboard and it worked fine so it could be possible that you've broken your mainboard in a way. (The reparation bill was paid by the warranty *horray*)
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.
Off topic: yay, it snows!
Hello guys.
I have problem - I have some problems with battery, and this is first time since that my Xperia Z1 (With Android 5.0.2) completely run out of battery. And now, i am charging for at least 3 hours, and there is still red led diod. Sometimes i dont have red diode neither, so i must disconnect and connect charger back. I trying push that button next to SIM slot, and Volume up + power button too. It responds by vibrate, but nothing happens. Still can't turn on phone, and when i try to do that (not conenct to chrger), red diode just start blink like when battery is empty. Any ideas? I wanna claim that pone because of battery, but i have root, so i must delete it first in some way...
I have Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 with Android 5.0.2 and ROOT by KingoRoot (i think)
I would be VERY glad for any idea and respond
Wait longer. Give it at least a day of charging before you give up on it.

Use the wall charger and OEM cable, if possible. Connecting it to a USB host just complicates the charging process.

Thank's for respond man
