So I got my Z3C about a month now. 6 weeks ago I thoughed my phone broke, suddenly it was dead. It looked like it was bricked, but I didn't do anything with it. There was no charging light, no fibrating on a hard reset, nothing. There was not even a connection with the adb.
So I send it to a repair point and they fixed it for me. I had no idea what that do, but I was happy with it.
Yesterday it happend again and I was pretty angry. A 3 month phone broke twice! I contacted the store, because I want a new one and not another repair, because i have no faith in another repair.
Now here comes the thing. Today I tried my phone again and suddenly it was working again.
You might think I should be happy, but I'm absolulty not, because now it is hard to prove there is something wrong with my device.
I suspect the repairpoint didn't fix anything, because it was working again at that point. So they just did a factoryreset
Has anyone experienced something like this or has any clue what the problem is?
Thanking in advance.

first of all you should make it clear If it s software problem (which level of software) or hardware
to get this u can Repair Xperia firmware by PCC to install fresh firmware
after that if problem remains u can be sure that problem is in hardware and ask for replace
in repair center they may just install new rom and return it so just ask for replacement
:good:
I k now this post is a little old but I have the same problem. After 6 weeks of flawless use my Z3C suddenly died. Nothing would bring it back to life. I spent several hours on the phone to sony support to no avail. We tried numerous manual and computer related fixes to no avail (including flashing a new stock rom which didn't work because no phone could be detected). Finally the tech gave up and said to return to return it to where I bought it. I was in the process of doing that when suddenly the phone worked again when I pressed the power button. battery charge was showing as 74%. Unfortunately I didn't do a factory reset while I had the chance.
This afternoon I didn't use the phone for 3 hours and now it's dead again. Nothing will wake it up again.
To me it sounds like a hardware fault, not software. This is a near new phone. This shouldn't be happening. I've searched the net and found numerous others having the same problem and in every case it has resulted in a replacement phone. Unfortunately my phone seller is a long way away. I guess that will teach me to buy local and pay and bit more.
Any suggestions please as I'm desperate.
I'm also in the same boat where my g/f Xperia Z3C just died and unfortunately the phone is out of warranty as it was a grey import and not local Aussie stock.
I have tried everything to get it working. When it does switch on it doesn't last more than a few hours before it goes back to a permanent coma.
I've wiped the rom and started from scratch when it was working with the Sony Xperia Repair centre but with little success.
I was left with little choice but to take it to a repair centre to find any faults with the hardware but I'm not feeling that confident they can fix the phone without replacing the whole board which isn't worth it.
Same thing.
Hello,
Today my phone shut downs itself and i realized it after 2-3 hours.Can't force reboot with volume up + power or the yellow button near the sim slot.Also no leds working to confirm if it takes electricity or not.My phones screen changed about a month ago due to having volume changes in 3.5 mm jack while listening music.Funny thing is i gave my phone for that same reason 8 months ago and they did not changed the screen and when i asked why you changed the screen, the lady said because 3.5mm jack is together with the screen(which i do not believe).I am hoping for device to wake up like jesus...
Edit: Does android have a log that reports every incident like windows does?If so how can i access it to see why my phone decided to die and ressurected by itself?I can't get this device to technical service cause it is fine now but i want to make sure it does not happen again.
Hello everyone, I am from India and My HTC One is rooted, unlocked and international version.
I am in an urgent need of help as I am not able to figure out what has happened to my HTC One M7 and due to that don't know what to do next.
So all this happened last night, that is, 20th of February.
I have Insertcoin-7.1.3-REPACK-M7_UL_L50_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2 ROM with Elementalx kernel, installed on my device.
I was uninstalling few apps from my device, during the procedure it started to hang so I had to restart it then again I continued uninstalling another app or the same app if it didn't uninstalled due to hang. This hanging thing happened for about 5 or 6 times as I was removing so many apps! So I restarted it for about 5-6 times and after uninstalling all the apps that I didn't needed, I opened avast antivirus cleanup app to free up the space covered by junk files. and during its procedure, again my htc got hang and I again tried to restart it and since then I am not able to switch it on, the only response that I can get it after pressing the power button, it boots upto the HTC logo then nothing happens! and when I tried to go into recovery and install a fresh rom, I easily get into bootloader menu and the volume key works fine as navigation but as soon as I tried to go into recovery by pressing power button, it hangs, I also tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader but same thing, its hanging. And when I plug it in charger, the led keeps blinking. I don't know what's wrong and what to do next. I have learned a lot from XDA, I hope you guys can help me out! thank you in advance.

is your phone detected by your computer when its booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode (check in your Windows device manager).
If you can , post a screenshot of your device manager with the phone connected and booted in bootloader / fastboot menu)

Yes I know what it means, unfortunately. That basically mean you can throw it in a garbage can
QHSUSB_DLOAD can happen for known 2 reasons
You flashed an incompatible firmware and right after that it went it this mode - recoverable
It randomly went in this mode = hardware failure - unrecoverable/must replace the motherboard.
Since you were experiencing hangs when playing with files, I guess this is confirming an hardware issue, maybe with the EMMC.

Damn! That's sad to hear, I think that the reason is the second one only because it's been few months since I have been using that ROM and KERNEL, and It was working smoothly, not even a single error occurred ever. any idea about how much does that motherboard cost? I bought my HTC for 43,000 INR in August 2014, that too the single sim version and currently dual sim version is coming for 24,000 INR so I am not in favor of investing a huge amount into it.
Don't Change the motherboard

Hey there,
Even I had the exact same issue(out of country device-stuck at boot screen-unable to enter boot loader mode-no solutions give above works)[/B] from the last one and half week. I gave the mobile to the HTC service center and today I got a call telling that the mobile's motherboard has to be replaced and since it is a out of country device, the change will cost INR.16,500
And so I told them to return my mobile.
So don't go for changing the motherboard and best is to try some alternatives like selling or repairing by ourselves.
Some one if you feel that there is way for this issue PLEASE post it. It will help us a lot........
Please guys IT IS URGENT......IT IS HELL WITHOUT A MOBILE U LOVE

Hey! Thanks a lot for sharing your issue with me. I am thinking to first get it checked by the service center and let's see what they say and how much amount they ask for, I am in a favor of only investing 2-3k, not more than that. If they asked for more than 5k. I'll order motherboard directly or manage it from somewhere and will get it fixed from some local shop.
I love my phone but don't wanna invest much as I already have purple tint issue and I was thinking to get it repaired and now I've an another issue which should be fixed first.

Ive seen some MB replaced for around USD 150-200$ so I wouldn't expect to get it repaired under 5000 INR
You can find a motherboard for the international variant around 95$ (6500 INR). Cheaper MB (around USD 60$) like the Sprint and Verizon variant won't fit in your phone. If ordering a motherboard online also make sure it was not salvaged from a blacklisted phone as the IMEI# is tied to the motherboard so if you change your MB you'll get a new IMEI and you don't want it to be blacklisted. If you never repaired a phone before then expect some more fees cause you will most likely broke something when disassembling it, like a lot of ppl did.

Thanks for the information and suggestion man, Really appreciate it.
My K20 pro screen had gone black after the update, it booted up and showed the lock-screen for a second and then went blank. I'm not sure if this was because of the update or a h/w issue. I held down the power button but it only vibrates every 10 seconds. I was able to go to recovery and fastboot mode but both also shows blank screen. I tried flashing the 10.3.3.0 Fastboot rom through miflash, but even after restart the screen doesn't turn on. Has any one faced any similar issues? Any help/suggestions ?
I did not get any issues after this update. No idea why its happening, heard few more display blank/dead incidents. Do you still have warranty?

No they did not. But they confirmed its a h/w issue. They have emailed someone to get the approval for a device replacement. They said they would inform me once they get the approval. Lets see, its been 3 days since i'm left with this paper weight worth INR 28k.
Depending on the service centre, you will probably get a new device. It might take a few days but from what I have seen in the past their services are good enough...
A horrific thing happen though.
Seems the Assembly line in India is like a lottery system. Either you get a good device or you get a problematic device...
Just got an update from mi service center. They said that they have got the approval to replace the device. So I can expect a new K20 pro within 2 days.
Got the phone replaced.

Hey,Bimal. I am having the exact same issues as you did, can you help me out?
Which service center did you visit and what was the procedure and did you carry the purchase invoice with you, how long did it took for them to inspect your phone?
I'm facing same problem as you were. Can you please help me out? I live in Delhi, which service center should I choose for the vest response or can you just share your experience and explain the procedure?
Should we return back the accessories as well??
Hello all,
I've been using my MI 11 ultra with the Xiaomi.eu latest stable version for months and never had any issue. Today, I was making a videocall on Whatsapp, and after hanging up the phone, the screen just turned black and never came back.
I tried to reboot on fastbook/recovery, but seems like the screen is just dead. Things that I tried.
- Plug in the phone charger (nothing happens)
- Force restart phone by holding the power button (It makes a little vibration like it's rebooting, but nothing happens after this)
- If I connect my phone to my laptop, it detects the phone as MTP, but I can't do anything with it.
- I tried to list device through ADB, but I doesn't appear in the list.
I have no clue what to do, at the moment it died, I wasn't doing anything special, I thought It would be because of the heat, but the phone wasn't hot.
It's really weird. Is there anything else I can do? Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance!
I think it's time to take your phone to service center...

Agreed!!!
has anyone sent the phone back to china for screen repair during the warranty period? Wonder how the process works.
Warranty with Eu. rom?! highly doubtful.
if you can fastboot your device, i'd suggest that you install original rom. (DONT LOCK BOOTLOADER). then jump to fastboot again and lock your bootloader. then send it for warranty. I don't think you'll need the screen to do that.
dont worry about device access and boot inside, doesnt matter.
Thank you all for the answers.
I stil have my last breath of hope, I found someone who had a similar issue with an Mi 11 => https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/black-screen-on-mi-11-ultra.63498/
I wasn't expecting it for this phone, you never expect this kind of weird issue from a 1k phone hahaha. It never happened to me and I've been flashing my Xiaomi devices since 2010
I'll try one last time, the back screen is not responding neither and as far as i know, they have different video controllers and since my computer can recognize it, I still have some hope.
This issue got me on vacation in the middle of the rain forest, and as you can imagen, internet here goes really slow.
I'm trying to download all the stuff that I need and once i have it, I'll try to restore my phone. I'll update you all with the results
Thanks in advance!
that would be great because if one of us should have the same problem then he can look in here and help himself
Hey all,
After fastboot, nothing changed unfortunately, I think I'll need to send it to warranty.
thank you all for the help

I had similar problems on my samsung galaxy a12. I flashed older fimware and the screen would just not work, it would be pitch black 24/7 no matter what I have done. I had to blindly enter in to odin_mode and flash new fimware. Similar thing is for you, try blindly booting in to fastboot or what ever you and flash the orginal ROM and don't use EU one because they probably wount accept it with in the warranty. AND UNDER NO CONDITION, DO NOT RE-LOCK THE BOOTLOADER
Hello all,
I have fresh, happy and weird update!
I was decided to send my phone to service center, I was just waiting to come back to Spain from my vacation, meantime, my phone was between my clothes since my last update.
Today I took it again while I was packing my things and voila! Screen is working again
My guess is that after taking a heavy rain, it got wet somehow (I say this because it supposed to be waterproof) and this caused the screen issue (3 days after the my rainy day).
Leaving the phone between my clothes, it my helped to dry out any water that could have leaked inside and phone is working again.
So, what I learned from this experience, never trust the waterproof certificate, hahahha.
I think once I'm back home, I'll put the phone on the water and try make the issue happen again, then send it to the SAT.
Thank you all!

Warranty doesn't cover water damage as far as I know
You might be safer not trying to repeat the experiment
Hi. So the other day out of the blue the speakers started doing what I've posted in the 2 videos attached.
It's very bizarre. At first I thought it might have been a software issue. I was running latest weekly mmx ROM at the time.
Since then I have done a clean flash of aosp ROM ricedroid. Issue is still there. So this suggests it's a hardware fault of sort.
I'm still a bit baffled with how's it come along as I've never dropped the phone nor has it ever gotten wet. Always been in a armour case from day 1. I've never messed with sound mods at all.
I did try installing viper4android after to see if it fixed it and nothing.
Anyone know what this may be? I really like the phone but I don't think it has any warranty left on it. Had it since the release of the mi 11.
Another weird thing is if I reboot the phone sometimes that solves it and speakers work fine. Then issue starts again at some point. Also if I open recents or start closing apps it then sorts itself out. Very weird. Anyway I hope someone on the forum can guide me to try and sort this or even find out what it is.
Thanks

I have the same problem, I even bought the speakers, changed them and it continued, I already rebaled the processor but it didn't solve it, looking for a solution, a top of the line device.
Hello,
I have the same problem with Xiaomi Mi 11, I have installed Stable ROM with clean install.
On the other hand, I have changed the upper and lower speaker, the charging flex and the LCD and also the charging plate, which is where the lower speaker is mounted, the problem persists.
Has anyone been able to fix this error somehow?
