I have a Z3 which won`t charge from anything other than magnetic cable.I tried holding volume up and pluging the cable, only blue light shows and nothing, tried holding volume down, flashes red green blue and nothing again.When i connect it only with usb phone starts with a big battery symbol but doesn`t charge...tried holding power+ vol down and vol up again nothing tried pressing the reset button near the sd slot but again no connection.Bad part is that I don`t have any drivers for it on this PC but still it does not connect...
maybe someone on the Z3 forum could help you

Hi guys,
I think I have a new Xperia Z situation to report:
After getting water into the USB port and spending a few days drying out the phone, I now get symptoms cannot find in any other XDA thread:
- When I hold volume button UP while connecting the USB port, it quickly flashes RED and then stays BLUE, also after releasing the volume button. When I disconnect the cable the LED light goes off again
- When I just connect the USB without holding any button, the LED goes RED.
- While the LED is RED, I can hold the power + volume UP buttons simultaneously and then release the power button to change to BLUE.
But regardless what I do there are no life signs in Flashtool
Other symptoms:
In the cradle, the LED has gone from RED to ORANGE to GREEN, indicating full charge. But when connecting the charger directly to the USB port it just flashes 1x RED and 1x GREEN sub-second before it goes off. So it seems it doesn't charge through the USB port but only through the cradle.
The phone is turned off and does not react to the power button. Have pressed power, and power + volume up button, but without the usual vibration responsiveness.
I have tried to connect to the phone using Flashtool. Following tips from other threads I've tried both latest version & Beta 4, Multiple USB ports, etc.
But the phone never gets identified through the USB port.
The phone should be 100% dry now after multi-day rice bag + cold air hair dryer treatments. But I'm afraid I might have I tried to force it back on too early, perhaps before all water was out...
Still with the LED indicator showing a little sign of life, would you say there's a chance to rescue it?
All ideas and advice much appreciated.

The water might of caused a short circuit somewhere in the phone which has caused the bugs so drying it might not repair the damage, how long has the phone been dry for? Hopefully some1 has had the same issues and solved it somehow.

i have a problem like that when i had water damage the power button didn't work anymore and the volume + works as volume and power button...very very strange
Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Did you connect phone holding volume down key or are you connecting usb after that pressing volume down key

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted
Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.
Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.
Hi all,
I have ARHD 92 rom on my HTC one m7. Since yesterday my phone had a couple of random reboots. Today, it turned off while I was working on something and now it wont turn on. The charging light doesnt come up when I connect to a charger ( i have tried a car charger, a pc through usb, wall charger and a portable charger). When I connect it to the pc, i hear the sound that means windows detected something.
I have tried, the bright light to proximity sensor and many key combinations like power + vol up, power + vol down, power + vol up + vol down, all for extended durations.
Anything else that I could try?
Thanks
Xperia TX symptoms:
can't power on after flash,
no lcd or led reaction for power button,
no lcd or led reaction for charger,
no lcd or led reaction if phone is connected to PC,
your PC can't detect your phone with vol-,
phone does not vibrate when holding vol+ and power together.
Hi there, my xperia doesn't boot at all, red led (constant glow),
I tried back “ off” button (vibrates three times and nothing) + connecting to pc( nothing happens, pc doesn't recognise anything ) + manually charging battery to 3.7 volt and connecting to phone (and again nothing)
Now I stripped it down and wondering why is this happening.
P.s when I connect charger the voltage at battery connection dock is 1.7v instead of 4.2v*******which I assume is a side effect of dead power management IC ,am I right?
