I love this site! My wife reckons that i should have married it instead of her (i spend alittle too much time on my laptop).

Welcome to Flar hope you enjoy us :lol:

Last thing i agree if you set up shop where we could all go and buy a good lil tiddley bits i would do my shopping here.

But ads are ok and i guess both would be even better from the site's point of view!

Good luck and thanks for the fantastic site!

Hi.

Just wanted to say that I personally wouldn't mind a few adds if I know they help to improve and maintain the site. I am sure others will agree.

I am also glad to hear about the upcoming improvements, but a bit worried about switching the system type.

Hope you wouldn't accidentally loose anything from the database or the users listing in the process.

Any way,

Good luck!

This is a great site.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
I was just playing around trying to move apps onto my new micro sd card. I rebooted several times. But suddenly when I rebooted one more time, the screen turned black. It was supposed to reboot into recovery (CWM). So I tried to turn it on again. Nothing happened. I also tried to press power button + vol up. Nothing happened. No light when charging either. I really really really need some help :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Does your phone vibrate when you press power + vol up? Can you get it into flashmode?

If your pc recognizes the phone as qhsusb_dload or something like qloader it's hard bricked and there's nothing left you can do..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
Nothing happens, its not vibrating, its not charging, and nothing happens when I plug it into my computer. I am a little bit experienced, so I know what to do if I atleast could get it into flashmode
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Does the led flash red if you hold down power and vol up while you plug it into your pc?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
No flashing LED, no vibrating, nothing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
I'm afraid to say this but it seems your phone is hard bricked... Try to do a rubber band across it so that the power button and vol up buttons get pressed all the time and plug it into your wallcharger. If that doesn't help bring it to your local sony service centre and let them repair it although they will very likely charge of a service fee.

Good luck mate!

Thank you, I will try that. It is really weird, the last thing I did was pressing the restart in recovery button.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waji97:
I bricked my phone while trying to unlock bootloader (didnt wait for the command prompt to complete the process) and later my pc was recognizing it as qhsusb_dload. But my volume buttons were working and I used the Sony update service to restore it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
I've used that tool several times when I softbricked my phone or didnt have a backup xD
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waji97:
You should leave it for charging for a while and then check, maybe the battery is dead.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
Its weird how it ws completely fully charged wen it passed away...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
So does it work now?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waji97:
It is very possible, frequent restarts eat away alot of battery, and you never know maybe it was on while you saw a black screen thinking it was off.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ende124:
I'm just saying, I've put my phone into the charger trying to charge it and turn it on. The LED won't turn on when I put my phone into the charger. I also tried the hard reboot keys power + vol up.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waji97:
Then its probably very hard bricked. You should take it to Sony and let them figure it out.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Did you also try the rubber band method? Putting a rubber band across the phone so that power and vol up buttons are pressed while it is on the charger for several hours?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.D.P.:
If you see a flashing blue light, when it is not plugged in, it's because the bootload was entered improperly and is in safe mode. The only way you can fix it, is to do a system wipe via Sony Companion and reinstall stock ROM. It's an Xperias way of bootlooping into a safe mode when it's locked.

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Too bad Sony doesn't implement an ADB OTI. Otherwise you could flash ROMs even with factory lock and never brick it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis888x:
i am experiencing the same problem right now. hadn't touched the tablet in a couple weeks, i seem to remember turning it off because it was really low on battery and the charger wasn't near. now it is just a black rectangle.. LED never responds, charging doesn't do anything, doesn't show up on ADB or flashtool.

seems like it is some problem with the firmware or hardware since all the android devices i've owned have always charged (with the LED on) regardless of the condition of the software (hell my one x that busted open and the screen doesn't work still charges and hooks up to the computer)

i would love to get this fixed because sony tech support pretty much bent me over today.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.D.P.:
Did you try external battery terminal dismount?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadikb:
Hi

I am facing a similar problem as the OP.

This is a friend's phone, so I am basically helping... :)

My friend got an OTA update and tried to update the firmware. However this failed and being a non technical guy he took the phone to the Sony service centre. Well long story short, after about a fortnight at Sony, they refuse to replace the phone and asked him to pay if he wants a fix.

So now I took the phone from him and this is the status:

- Nothing happens on pressing the power button

- Nothing happens on pressing Power and Volume Up

- No vibration, nothing

- No response and no Led on charging in mains or USB.

I was about to give up when I found this post of yours. So I took a couple of rubber bands and wrapped one around the power button and one around the volume up button to press both. Next I plugged the charger in the mains and lo, the red LED has come up!

The phone has been connected to the charger this way for about 30 mins now.

Meanwhile I downloaded stock firmware ftf file and have flash tool ready...

So what do I do next?

P.S. The red LED blinks once in a while, don't know why?

Thanks and appreciate any help I can get on this... trying to help a friend avoid a $600 loss... :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Keep it on the charger for 24 hours. If the LED still blinks the phone is hardbricked and there is nothing you can do. If the led stops blinking and is on you could try to boot up the phone, or to flash a stock rom.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadikb:
Well I had in the charger on my desk. I just came back and see that the led has turned off... So now no led even with power and vol up being pushed down by rubber bands.

I guess this is the end of the road then... If anybody has any ideas... I would be most grateful... :(

Edit:

The red Led has come back on. It blinked a couple of times but appears steady at the moment...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
The red LED you say?

I had this issue after completely discharging my battery. Symptoms are basically the same (Only red LED, no turing on or vibrating)

I solved this problem by touching 2 charging pins together (2 small metal plates on the left side; I don't know how they are called in English, sorry)

This method should drastically drain battery
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadikb:
What did you touch the 2 chargings pins on the left with? a wire? or something else.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
Nope, with scissors xD

I didn't have wire at that moment. Every piece of metal will work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadikb:
Well I gave up. Gave the phone back to my friend. He's gonna take it to a service man... :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russell4040:
Bricked Xperia z

Hi

My Xperia Z is bricked, if I hold power and vol + button for 6 seconds I get a permanent red LED, holding the power and vol + for 6 seconds again turns the led off. Other than that nothing happens

LED stays in whatever state whether I plug the charger in or remove it.

Attempting to enter Fastboot and Flash modes have no effect.

I unlocked the bootloader without issue, the problem occured after I flashed the ROM, I know what I did, I used the ROM for a ZL (stupid mistake, still not sure how I missed the L, can only think I was too hung up on the firmware version (which was Android 4.3 569 [10.4.B.0.569] firmware before the incident). Phone is a C6603.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
I hope Your Z will survive :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russell4040:
Well my Xperia lives!!!

I did a hard reset (Power and Vol + for 10 seconds) and got the 3 vibrates

Red LED flashed 3 times, but the phone was not charging.

I held power and Vol - while it was plugged in to mains charger and then got a solid red LED, I then left the phone for a while, the LED turned from red to amber, I charged it for about 1 hour. I don't know whether pressing the power and vol - buttons forced it to charge, but that's what it seemed like.

I was then able to unplug the power and get the phone into both fast boot and flash mode (plugging USB cable connected to computer while holding vol + or vol - to enter either modes).

I got the phone into flash mode and used FlashTool to re-flash it - Et viola.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pablosch23:
did you try to get into recovery mode and wipe the phone?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.D.P.:
That's the downfall to the Xperia line. Fortunately you can dismount the battery terminals externally. Too many people think they're bricked. Dismount is the opposite volume key as entering bootloader.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis888x:
sorry if this is an old thread now but i figured this would be useful info. i sent my tablet in for a warranty repair at sony. just told them it wasn't rooted.

they sent it back with a note saying the software was corrupt and it was unrepaired. only thing is, the tablet works great now. somehow they managed to get it charged when i could never do it. mine had no lights ever, did rubber band trick and everything. when i got it back it booted right up fully charged.

Should I have any problems with Asurion, if I trip KNOX? I know that I get a replacement before I send back my device. I just want to make sure that don't hit me some crazy charge, if they ever do find out. I might just bite the bullet and go root w/ tripping KNOX (already on 4.4.2).

Knox applies to Sprint Warranty. Assurant is purchased insurance. Different ball of wax that Knox does not impact. You just can't take the phone to a Sprint repair center without paying for everything. All repair/replacement issues will have to go through Assurant instead.

Then I was misinformed by the tech in the Sprint repair center. Your area may be different, but in the Milwaukee area the Sprint repair centers won't touch your phone if they can tell it's been rooted. You either go through asurion, pay full price for the repair, or buy a new phone. You are misinformed about whether Sprint cares. Your local tech might not, but the company does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
It's written in stone as a sprint policy if he refuses to touch it call corporate. Hes in violation of sprints policy. Your wrong sprint doesn't care it's your tech being a punk.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well to grab the file you have to be rooted to access the folder it downloads into but if it's anything like the att update it forces the update upon you after you ignore 2 or 3 times, so in other words it should be possible to capture it
