Hi there,
Got a problem with the phone as in topic. The basic issue in it was the sim card that wasn't detected at all. I did all needed around it, putting out cards, battery, hard reset, soft reset everything failed. I cleaned the pins, no success. Then I flashed it with this:
P7Mini-ROM V100R001C432B370CUSTC186D005 using dload sdcard method
It went nice, but the phone didn't wake up at all, I think the bootloader is locked. It doesn't react for any of the buttons combinations (PWR+VolUp, PWR+VolDwn, VolUp+VolDwn, PWE+VolUp+VolDwn) all fails. Tried the same with battery disconnected, seems totally dead, only sign of life is when I connect it via USB while battery is out, it blinks red once at the connection, that's all.
Any idea how to bring it back to life?
Got all the drivers needed.
Got HiSuite installed - does not detect phone.
SP Flash tool - does not detect phone
DC-Unlocker - does not detect phone.
PC does not detect phone USB connection.
Dead for good?

Hi folks,
Very strange: I tried to connect to the PC with ActiveSync 4.1 and the BA in the bootloader mode. Didn't connect. Tried a couple of times, reinstalled AS etc. No chance.
Therefore I wanted to be sure, there is no connection problem, I started the MAUpgrade tool, which connected successfully and showed the EPROM versions on the screen. So I started the upgrade procedure, as expected the BA went in the bootloader mode, but as before, from there nothing went on - it was not recognised by the PC or AS.
The strange story about it is, I connected very easily in the normal mode, I upgraded already in the past successfully ...
BUT NOW I'm really in trouble, because I can't exit anymore the bootloader mode. I tried a hard and soft reset, I have removed the battery for 10 minutes .... Now way, the sceen is always in bootloader. If I put the device in the cradle, it recognizes this, by showing USB, without cradle, its Serial. The bootloader shows the version 2.08
Shoud I replace the device and enquire with my provider for a new one?
Thanks and looking forward to hear from you, Alexander

Make sure the cable is properly connected. Check for dust that might prevent it going in properly. Try a different cable. What OS are you using? I found where bootloader is dmg or incomplete Windows fails to detect it. Linux on the other hand detects it. Can't use it but you can detect it.
Can you connect to SW Update Mode? Battery out and plug into PC while holding vol up button.
If nothing works try taking it into the shop.

You can root your phone from there. If you have SW Update. I recommend taking it into the shop if you are still under warranty, If you don't have warranty then you can go ahead and root. Just install a patched bin and fls with Smart Flash Tool. It's one of the stickies (How to unbrick, I think)
hi
new to Android nation
I have the same issue when connecting to USB...
And I managed to flash with custom firmware (latest ZEUS version) and I rooted but the issue with USB connection is still there...
Anyway, I wiil try connecting it to Linux to check if that would work with USB connecting
UPDATE:
OK after some digging, I managed to (at least temporally) solve the issue... After fresh installing official 2.3.4 firmware I booted to recovery and from there formatted the system folder and then installed Zeus v7 firmware... anyway, USB connection and charging indicator work fine at first booting to system... As soon as I reboot the OS USB connection (and charging) get unstable, and after third reboot it completely goes away and the device does not recognize anything: if I connect USB cable it does not show any sing (charging indicator does not show battery charging, nor the device offers me to connect in mass storage, windows recognizes only modem but not the USB storage) and when I connect charger, battery indicator does not flash as charging... Battery monitor tool shows that "battery is discharging" even though the battery capacity seems to increase (according to growing percentage of battery capacity)... Is there a some kind of USB server... I am a total noob to Androiid OS (used to be Symibian from its beggining )so I hope you won`t mind if I used wrong terms in my explanation/comment...
I hope my explanation is not confusing
Cheers
UPDATE 2:
After installing Zeus v7.01 update, battery charging recognition got fixed using both USB cable and wall charger...
Anyway, USB recognition by PC problem still exists... But when in recovery mode I can successfully mount SD card to PC in Mass storage mode...
Will keep you updated... :victory:
I was using the LG update tool to upgrade from gingerbread to ics and the software gets to 23% in installing to phone when it says it cant communicate with phone. the main tool usually still says connected to phone. following its direction i unplug cable and remove/reinstall battery reconnect but never works. display will not light. but will virbrate with cable connections. how can i fix this. I have even tried the lg tool on another computer with no luck. I have tried some tools from here as well and the computer seens to have some aspect of the phone it just cant put a driver on. it says that a usb device has malfunctioned
thanks
im having the same problem. i called lg and they said all i could do is send the phone in cause the operating systems been wiped by the update tool
HI, I need help fixing my Z3 Compact (D5803).
-My phone had Android 4.4.4, had Root and had firmware 23.4.A.1.200 I believe. (some pre-rooted firmware)
-I flashed that firmware onto my phone a long time ago and its been running great ever since.
-Today I decided to try more flashing, I rushed it and accidentally flashed firmware for the Z3, not Z3 Compact, plus I forgot to turn on USB Debugging!!!!
-It pretty much failed flashing, tried to turn on my phone and I get the update failed screen.
-I researched it, looked into repairing it through PC Companion, but decided to try flashing again and still not seeing that I had the wrong firmware.
-It seemed to have flashed some of the way but had errors and stopped flashing, I tried turning on my phone but now I get nothing.
-No LED, no vibration, no Charge LED, no Update failed screen, no Sony logo, no nothing.
-The only thing I get is when I plug USB into my PC then into phone, it takes 10 seconds, then I get sound on PC and a notification saying (Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) but still no LED light on my phone or vibration.
-I tried uninstalling the driver, I tried different button reset ideas, even tried the little yellow button next to the SIM card.
-I tried repairing it with PC Companion but it cant do that because it wont recognize it or respond to the (hold vol down then plug in USB).
-Didnt bother try fixing it with flash tool because I knew I'd have the same results as I did with PC Companion ^^^^^^^^
-I read some people say that the USB error can be a Hardware issue but I dont think it is because my phone worked fine before all this. (Unless the USB cable fried my phone some how???? lol
-I did make a backup before I did the flashing which I put on my micro SD card, and I had that out when I tried flashing so it should be safe
I think thats it. If theres any thing else that comes to mind that might help I'll add it in when I can.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Force install drivers using the "Have disk" option through the device manager control panel.
If the firmware that controls the USB interface and bootloader are corrupted, it's possible that it's hard bricked and needs to be recovered using JTAG.
I've had bricked phones due to hardware failures that caused the same error.

Thanks for the reply.
My phone wont show up on the pc anymore. wont show unknown device in device manager neither.
When I first plug it in the LED shows red for a little then goes away, so I think the battery is dead, i charged it but still nothing shows up on the pc.
I would like to try and recover it using JTAG. I know how to open up the phone and all, but I dont know how to JTAG.
Could you give me some video tutorials or step by step instruction on how to do it for my phone? Also what JTAG hardware and software do I need?
thanks :]
Hi Guys,
I got given a bricked X Performance (dalvik and internal archive have been deleted) and the only feedback from the phone is when I press On+VolUp, after 3 vibrations the phone boots but it freezes on the white start SONY screen. I tried different combination of starting buttons but that's the only reaction I get back from the phone.
Sony xperia companion from the PC is not detecting any device.
I was wondering if I can try to connect using any software (which one?) trying to fastboot or enter flashmode and maybe fix somehow, can you suggest me where/which software and drivers to install in my PC?
Also, I red on the net that an extreme fix could be a hardbrick reset using testpoints, but again, I couldn't find any info in internet where are the contacts inside the phone to be used as testpoints, any clue/suggestion please?
Thanks a lot
Giulia
See if you can connect to Flash tool and reset/reinstall it: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
