Hello
Recently i've bought an broken screen Xperia Z, for repair it (i got it like $300 bucks cheaper) and i was ready to buy the screen, but i battery was drained and i could not test it right, when i connected to the charger, it started red light, vibrate, then 3 continuous vibes, read on the internet, OK BATTERY DRAINED, i left it charge THE WHOLE NIGHT, and when i woke up in the morning it was orange (charging), later in the day it was green (charged) but when i disconnect it, it wont turn on anyways, when i connect it to a pc, it goes blue light (wich later i read it was fastboot mode). i read for making a repair with PCC, but it didnt fixed it, then i flashed it with Flashtool, with the latest software (wich had the Sudden death issue fixed) no luck. it wont boot. for it to boot, i have to connect it to PC and with fastboot run "fastboot continue", but most of the time, it reboots and goes redlight and vibrate 3 times then reboot, so i press the power button and it enters fastboot mode (if connected to PC) or loads charging if connected to wall charger, but it reboots again and goes to redlight vibrate reboot, sometimes it stay charging or in fastboot mode, but only "works" if connected in the USB.
when it stays in fastboot, i do "fastboot continue" and it loads the OS, and it works (well, the things i can do with a broken LCD/Touchscreen, i put my sim card and could call it, and it works, but i cant pick up the call). i can explore the phone memory etc. but if it reboots or if i disconnect the USB, it will almost always turn off. i havn't found a solution (or idea) of what can happen, i dont know if its normal since it has broken lcd/touchscreen or it definitely have a huge problem,
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Maybe the battery is damaged, and the phone knows it and boots into some sort of safe mode to spare internal damage? When the is has booted you can take screenshots with adb if you have usb debugging enabled. Maybe try see if the os says the battery is damaged?

Well, actually it doesnt seem the battery is damaged, fisically looks ok and it holds charge, i cant debug because usb debugging comes off by default when flash stock software.

Correct me if i am wrong but does the xperia z not support usg-otg and mhl? You could rig the phone up to the tv with a mhl-hdmi cable and maybe use a usb mouse to select things, and enable usb debugging?

Nice idea, now i need to find who in this country (DR) have that adapter
i ordered the LCD screen assembly for repair it myself, but im still concerned about this, as i dont know if it will boot up anyways
my phone right now isnt booting. but as i cant see images i dont know what is it showing.
i noticed the touch screen is working indeed. (when booted, it plays sounds when tapping)
i will wait till the lcd assembly arrives. any ways, any other ideas on what may happen?
the ex-owner of the phone said it started like that when it fell and broke the lcd.
OK now, i've installed the LCD, the phone works, its ON, BUT the Volume Up button and the Power Button does not work when the phone is ON,
the Vol UP button seems always be pressed cause when i press the power button for some seconds, the Phone restarts and not power off or lock/unlock
Service tests: None of these buttons where recognized.
any ideas on any hardware fixes i could try?
I FIXED IT!!
dissasembled the phone, took out the side button flex cable and the volume up button on the flex was dirty, so it was having a false contact. (wich made the button always be pressed)
I took out the yellow tape and cleaned with alcohol and a needle (its so freakin small) and put the tape again and assembled the phone and voila! IT WORKS OK!!
Yes the vol up button pressed means u get fastboot. Now that you fixed the problem and repaired the phone enjoy. Btw nice job getting it up and running.

I have an Xperia Z with a completely knackered screen, no display at all. Is there any way I can get the personal data off this phone? It has the pattern screen lock so the USB otg option is a no go. Can I restore without deleting the data?
The phone has taken a beating, the back and casing is also damaged so I couldn't guarantee changing the screen would work although it seems to function normally. Shuts down with power button and vol up with 3 vibrations and starts again ok, can access it via PC but not any of the data due to the lock screen.
What are the option for data recovery if the phone is dismantled to access the storage?

If you can access cwm, backup the phone with it, connect phone to a computer. Copy the backup to pc, and do system restore with pcc or sus.
Btw, wrong section
No CWM

Well, that sucks. Try booting the device up normal and just install cwm, else just clear the phone....Data is just data.
have you tried android explorer
its file manager for pc ad you can access phone memory
not sure if it will work but its worth a try
My HTC one does not turn on, it just vibrates no sound etc. However i can get a pc connection (adb).
What happened: My battery went down to 0% one week ago, i have sand my phone to a repair shop in order to replace the battery.
Now it came back still unable to power on. However now i can get adb to work and phone vibrates when tring to turn it on.
Any ideas how to get it back working?
EDIT Fastboot also working, but black screen...so is the screen defect?

Insert sim card in another phone, disable pin.
Put it back in your HTC power it on and call it.
Even if the phone is fully silent you could tell if it rings or not with the phone you call it with.
And so if it rings it is most likely the screen.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Try shining a bright light on the sensor and hold power and volume down

So the screen broke (black but I can press stuff on it I only can't see what I'm pressing) on my Xperia Z3+ and I need to recover the data from it. ADB isn't enabled and to transfer data normally I would need to enable MTP which I can't do because I don't see anything. Maybe someone has an idea how to get the data?
Hello,
I have the same question.
After display replacement backlight is shown only.
is there a tool like SP Flash Tool for MediaTek CPU to be able to recover all partitions?
Emma shows that it's locked. I know the unlock pattern (9 dots).
When connecting to charger LED shows red 1x.
My phone went to an endless bootloop after a botched attempt to install TWRP. I tried hard pressing the power button to no avail, and I can't access fastboot either. That's why I removed the back cover and disconnected the flex cable from the battery on the phone's motherboard.
Later on, I reconnected my phone's battery after my shift ended, then I tried to flash my stock rom through SP Flash Tool + bypass tool python script and it went through with a success. However, this time, my screen seems to be completely dead but my phone is still showing some signs of life (short vibration when pressing the power button, but since then it seems that it takes a few seconds more from pressing the power button to turn it on. ) I reconnected and disconnected everything to see whether or not I missed out something but the issue still persists.
The computer reads the device as "Android ADB interface" and the adb console reads it as *device id* unauthorized when I ran adb devices command. There's no notification light whenever I plug it into the charger.
Is my screen dead, or is my motherboard toast? I need to know as I don't want to spend money to buy a replacement LCD only to know that the motherboard's dead. I don't really care about the IMEI as I'm just going to use it as an authorization device for work. I can just always connect to Wi-Fi. Please advise.
One problem after another, so it seems.
Turns out I already unbricked the phone, but the thing is that my display's backlight got busted for some reason. Unless I shine a flashlight through it, I won't know what's in the screen. I'm currently on the way to get a replacement screen, and a new battery cover.
I guess this will be the last Xiaomi device that I'll ever get. This is the only time that I experienced such flimsy build quality since the LG G4.
Maybe you have destroyed a lil cable or something.
