Hi All,

Hope you can help. Have played with multitued of roms, crossbow and aku3.x.. changed radios alot. Now I can't seem to change the rom anymore, using official files or maupgradeut tool. Get error 114. It says about to update.. the progress bar never moves and after half minute will time out with the error. Changing CE and ExtRom is fine.

Any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
did you connect your device trough a usb hub or somekind maybe?

I had that problem.

try this:

- Put the device in BL

- start your AC on your pc and disable all connection options

- connect the device on a free usb port, directly on the pc

this should work
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] d_ranade:
Also please use the original cable. This is particularly important for Radio upgrade. If all else please try upgrading from a different PC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] lx_t:
cheers for tips. I will try these.. I think I've poached a cable from a pc peripheral as I'm at work :-D

tell me if you get through of this.... i know the solution is to get the mother board changed.......

:(

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
Did your IMEI get changed already once? (motherboard)

My Uni died on me after flashing I think it was a Imate rom and it went back for repairs, they changed the board (therefore the Imei).

Since then no problems anymore.

Could be that your device is still original, I think the early devices atleast had problems with a corrupt eeprom or something which could lockup after flashing.

Boot your device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Then run this ruu exe on your pc http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/

That should get your device booting and enable you to unlock the bootloader, I recommend going through the full unlock procedure at htcdev to get a new unlock code, After you've flashed the ruu :good:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pargas:
Check your spam/trash folder. Happened to me when I unlocked my sons Motorola.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzl.abdulaziz:
There a multiple cases where Z3 Compact suddenly off, and then cannot be boot at all (with any mean available). It randomly can be boot, in my case i charged it a long time (approximately one night), then i saw the LED lights lit hence the successful boot. But 5 minutes later, poof, it die again and cannot be boot. I plugged back to the charger, no LED light or respond whatsoever.

The second time i able to boot it, i reflash the stock rom using the PC Companion repair section. But the problem persist, which hint me that this is maybe a hardware problem. I found in the sony forum that the motherboard or the battery could be fail, OR the battery was too low to lit the LED light during charging (which seem illogical for my case which the phone dead with 100% battery).

In the end i sent it to the service center and the phone not currently held up in a ward for god know how long. The friendly assistant at the service center suggested the board or the battery were failed since the phone didn't respond with charging and reset charging.

Any comment from you guys about the possibility of board and battery failure will be appreciated

There a thread in the sony forum,

https:// talk.sonymobile.com/ t5 / Xperia-Z3-Compact/ Sudden-Death-of-Sony-xperia-Z3-Compact/ td-p/877345/page/5

and based on the thread there is a lot of case happen in Malaysia. So for future owner, watch out!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
well, this is a similar case [i suppose] http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/help/bricked-z3c-help-t2952415
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonjun:
Well my Z3C used to be softbricked like you. Meaniez had post my thread about it right above.

The reason for this was the unrespond battery. In my case, I charged it for about 3->4hrs, started at 17%. Then it suddenly softbricked, plugged it to PC, the logo Xperia appeared, but it still remained the same. I took it to the store, their technicians found out that the battery wasn't gone at all, it was hibernate. So they charged it with high-voltage electric for hours, then it came back to life, just like we do the electric shock to save people.

I think my case will help you with a solution to safe your phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzl.abdulaziz:
Well, in your case, the phone responded when connected to PC. Mine didn't respond at all. Thanks though for your information.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonjun:
You meant the logo Xperia didn't appear on the phone when you plugged it ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexterxda:
I am French, exact same thing happened to me last night (didnt boot, plugged it, pressed power/vol+, booted with red light blinking and when on lockscreen restarted automatically and did the same thing again in a loop, then stopped responding at all. Plugged it for the night, green light this morning. Unplugged, didnt boot. Waited, plugged it again, this time it booted up, and it's still working fine. Did a factory reset and erased my data in case I have to send it to repair. It's such a shame, I love this little phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidghost9:
I think I'm done. Sick with having to go to the centre, sick with their crappy excuses and most importantly sick with all the 'bad batch' problems - Glass cracked, Flap covers, and worst of all, sudden death? Gosh that's crazy. Btw I am from Malaysia and my phone last night have just officially been infected with the sudden death problem for no reason. I am pretty confident that even if they swap my phone with a new one, that would also be from the bad batch.

But again, this is just me. I hope yours would be much better because overall the phone is actually quite good given the size. Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
So I got the black screen of death issue and I think I solved it.

My internal nand was pretty full (got the warning several time). Eventually, the screen turned black one day and the phone wouldnt turn back on, even with

- reboot power/volume combo

- reset button behind the flap (30s+)

- charger connected/disconnected with same buttons

Leaving the phone there for a day or two (trying to boot it every now and then with the power button...), eventually it works/boots for some magical reason. Then it goes black again for a day or two, sometimes quickly, sometimes not. I did that a few times over several days...

Eventually when I got it to boot again I directly did a factory reset. This does not clean the internal sdcard. Things worked for a week straight (ie longer than usual) and bang, black screen again, and again and again...

So when I got it to boot once again (yes, that's PAINFUL to test all this) I did a factory reset + wipe of the internal sdcard.

Since that day, no more black screen of death.

I therefore suspect there's a bug with the nand controller when its nearly full or is full, or there's a bug plus bad nand hardware that causes it. I'm a little clueless on why it can eventually reboot.

I tested this 20, 30 times just to be certain, and it really seems related. So now I'm curious, any of you with the problem had the internal nand nearly full ? (or above 75% full at least). If so, try to boot the phone again a bit later and remove files from the sdcard just to see.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laufersteppenwolf:
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but a colleague of mine just contacted me about the same issue - phone rebooted and remains dead.

I have not yet had a chance to look into the phone itself, but according to him the internal storage would be full up to a few MB, which would explain the issue based on your investigation.

Will look into it further...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Transporter:
Dude,

I feel your pain, read what happened to me : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3037336

The phone went back in warranty, I just had to pay the postal service, nothing else.

They didn't told me what was the problem, but I think they replaced the motherboard.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Transporter:
FYI: Here's the report I received from them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laufersteppenwolf:
Well, bad news I guess... I tried whatever I could possibly think of, but the best I get is a steady red LED for some time, after that the LED turns off again and still no reaction at all (also while the LED is lit).

From what I can tell, it's most likely a battery issue, because when the red LED first lights up, it's kind of a flickering, which is why I assume the voltage is just too low to do anything.

We'll see what Sony's gonna tell us after they got the device for repair ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocopvn:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryoks:
Have you tried upgrading to 5.1.1 (23.4.A.0.546)? I had the same problem, where my z3c would only last an hour or so until the next sudden death and I'd have to wait a few days before being able to turn it on again (and will die after another hour).

Since I upgraded, it has only happened a couple times, and even then I could immediately turn it back on. While it's not a complete solution for me, at least my phone is usable now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrmalliot:
Well, This sudden death phenomenon happened to me as well this weekend, without any prior warning, since the phone is just 5 weeks old. I tried every possible fix suggested on the web, no response at all.

Now the phone has been shipped to a service centre in Athens, Greece, 350 km from where I live. Ought to have an update on phone;s status in approx. 10 days I was told. I keep my fingers crossed... From what I've read searching this matter during these past days, it seems more like a hardware issue (i.e. defective motherboard). If that's true, and since this phenomenon tends to grow steadily like an epidemic all around the globe (first SE Asia, now Europe) than it is a disgrace for SONY not to organize a recall...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smooth_gl:
Same issue here. Started few times and then hard brick. No flash mode, no fast boot, no charging... The girl from Sony support, after I've told her that i have an issue reported by many user on their support forums told me not to believe everything I see on the internet :eek:. I've been a Sony fan for many years but this denial of a manufacturing fault will make me reconsider...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penske:
This has been happening to me regularly now. The only way to get it to boot is to leave it on a charger for an hour or two. After an hour it will say it's charging again. Once it shows that it's charging, you can power it on. Pretty annoying, especially because when this happens to me, the battery will usually be over 90% full.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

My internal and external storage are both only half full and the sudden death bug continues to happen. Not sure it's related to storage. I've noticed that it only happens to me when the phone is sleeping with the screen off. I know sony did a lot of work to get the phone to use very little power when idle. Maybe it's related to the phone not being able to wake up? Does anyone know if this happens with non-stock ROMS as well?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzdhgkd:
Started happening to me a couple of weeks ago. Currently on SlimRom 4.4 and have been using this ROM for about a year now.

If you are going to try it and or you are a DEV "which i think you might know how to work this out" "flashing" please be free to do.

once again i wont leave instructions on how to flash it because i havent figure out yet how to do it!!

THATS WHY I RATHER SEE A DEV USING THIS OR HELP ME WITH FLASHING THIS ON MY OWN DEVICE

Be free to contact me on any questions

flash it at you own risk ! Which we all know while flashing anything can go wrong!

unzip file and you would get the zImage.
