[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
Hi all,

Thanks for your help in advance.

I think I've bricked my phone, however I'm not sure whether it's recoverable or not.

What I did, was flash my phone back to it's original ROM and rooted using the guide in a sticky on this board 'D66XX 5.0.2/5.1.1 Flashable stock Lollipop pre-rooted collection & XZ dualrecovery'

This was fine, and it booted fine, I installed root checker and confirmed that it was rooted.

I then downloaded the Official Cyanogen 12.1 Nightly build from their website, cleared cache/dalvik etc.. and attempted to flash that using TWRP. I had an error, which was something along the lines of "E:Error executing" and this was followed by "This device is leo".

I googled a little bit and found that I had to modify the 'updater-script' file in the nightly .zip in order to flash, so I did this and it seemed to install fine with no errors..

I then rebooted, and since then I've had no response from my phone. No LEDs on charging (after an hour or so). No response from holding any combination of Power/Volume buttons, and even the hard reset button located inside the SDCard cover doesn't cause any vibrations from the handset.

I'm not sure where else to go.. After a lot of searching a lot of people are suggesting to leave it charging and then try again after a long charge. I'm wondering what other people would suggest in my situation, is my handset recoverable?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers

Sam

Hi, if your phone's bootloader isn't unlocked this is most likely why it's not booting up. I once installed a ROM on my phone and skipped the line where it said the bootloader needed to be unlocked(I realised this after reading through the install instructions again), I then used the flash tool to install a stock ROM and the phone was fine again, after that I unlocked the bootloader reinstalled that custom ROM that needed an unlocked bootloader and it worked. If you don't know how to do any of this an are just too lazy to find the links that guide you through this I'll find it for you and post it here(you will wait a while though). Hope this helps
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
Right.. so first of all, you're correct.. my bootloader is still Locked, as I did not unlock it.

The rest you are totally wrong about, I am unable to get any response from the phone whatsoever.. There's no bootloop, there's no response from screen, no LEDs, no vibrations, nothing. The PC (including Flashtool) doesn't recognize the phone. So flashing is kind of impossible in it's current state.

I've left it overnight (since my post) connected to a wall charger and still nothing so far. Going to leave it charging just in case it wants to resurrect itself at some point (fingers crossed).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenericBridge:
Does your phone get warm at all while it's in this state? Also does it not get picked up at all by your computer or does it just come up as an unrecognized device? I'm going to assume your phone might be on, in which case I'd recommend holding in the Vol+ button and then the off button, this will force the phone to shutdown if it's on, if your phone vibrates three times then it's definitely off now and you should try seeing if you can go into fastboot or flashmode mode using a computer if that doesn't work then I'm sorry but I think your phone might just be too far gone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
It did come up as "Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)", but no longer does, I'm assuming that it WAS on, but now the battery has run out and it's not charging.

I did try an "adb devices" command when it was plugged in previously but it did not list my device, and as far as I know I have all the correct drivers installed, as I used flashtool to flash CM 12.1.

I can no response from volume/power buttons with any combination as per OP.

*EDIT* The device does not raise in temperature either was connected to USB/Wall Charger
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
OK So I have an update..

I've removed the back of my phone, removed battery connector and replaced, and now when I connect to my Laptop using USB, The device is recognised as "SEMC Flash Device", however when holding the Volume Down button when connecting I do not have a Green LED, it shows a Red LED for roughly 2-3 seconds and then that dissappears.

Flashtool kind of "half recognises" my phone as per the following:

31/050/2015 14:50:55 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

31/050/2015 14:50:55 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

and it also shows:

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - - HID\VID_0FCE&PID_D1AC\6&8FB5D7D&0&0000	Driver installed : true

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_D1AC\5&88A806&0&1	Driver installed : true

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - List of ADB devices :

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - List of fastboot devices :

31/052/2015 14:52:19 - INFO - - none

ADB doesn't recognise and neither does Sony PC Companion, but surely this is progress in the right way? If it's now being recognised as an SEMC Device
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brontok:
Do as follows:

1. make sure your phone is off ( hold down volume+ and than press the power button, hold them down like that until the phone vibrates 3 times)

2. run flashtool as an administrator (right mouse click on the flashtool icon > Run as an administrator) ,once flashtool opens click on the lightning icon, select "OK" to chose the flashmode, and than select your stock z3 ftf file at the top ( if you have one, if not then download xperi firm and use it to download stock z3 rom )

3. after selecting the stock rom make sure APPS_LOG and USERDATA (on the upper right side) are ticked. Than go ahead and select flash (bottom right corner)

4. wait for flashtool to do its thing, eventually it will prompt you to plug in your phone

5. once that happens go ahead and hold down the volume down button, and while still holding it plug your phone to an usb cable, ( which is already connected to your pc )

6. after that flashtool will start flashing the rom

7. dont touch anything until the phone boots itself up
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
The phone won't boot into Flashmode, or fastboot mode, or recovery mode.. Nothing, no Sony logos, no response, no vibrations.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brontok:
Make sure the phones is turned off, then open flash tool, connect the cable to your phone while holding the volume down button, see if flashtool will say "device connected in flashmode".. if it does than you can proceed with the previous instructions, from top to down.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickieH:
The problem you now have I think is you have a custom kernel installed on a locked bootloader device, with a now completely dead battery.

I don't know if it will charge in this state as I think the kernel controls charging, and as your kernel won't function with a locked bootloader, it's not going to charge either. If it's not going to charge at all, it's not going to have enough power to get into flash mode to flash a stock ftf.

The red led means there's not enough power . . . I'm wondering if you could get hold of another battery with some charge in it, if it would then allow flash mode?

I think your phone was frozen when you were trying initially, and it just stayed that way until it went dead.

I'm no expert, but I'd be willing to try if it was me, seeing as you've already dismantled it anyway.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I hope there's an easier way than this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
Thank you for your suggestions, unfortunately I'm unable to get a battery with charge, and have therefore give up.. I will accept that I have bricked my phone beyond recovery, and will learn from my mistakes.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickieH:
Seems a shame to give up. There's nothing wrong with the hardware by all accounts.

You can get a new battery off ebay for £10 to £15 and they're factory charged to at least 50%.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=291420999095&alt=web

It may or may not work, but I'd rather try than bin a couple of hundred pounds worth of phone.

Whatever you decide, I'll help if I can. I love my Z3, even more so than my Z5 right now.

Good luck either way,

Mick

Edit:

I'd even go so far as to say, if you still have the complete phone, post it to me and I'll see what I can do with it. I'll post it you back when I'm done, and if I can fix it, it's only gonna be a new battery at the most. You can't really lose, it's not working as it is.

I'd cry if I bricked my Z3, honestly. I'd like to help.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frantic912:
this happen to me before, same like your phone and i think it brick cos system partition already mess up...

lucky me i still have warranty on that time so i sent to SC and change new motherboard....

whatever i do, still no succeed, just blink red led

i think u need to sent it to SC, don worry they cannot detect ur phone rooted or UB cos motherboard already fried up....

hahahaha
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
As much as I'd love to trust you, and I'm sure you're a man of your word, I wouldn't risk sending it out to someone I don't know.. Who's to say I'd get it back? Bricked or not it's money. I don't mean to offend you.

Buying parts that only possibly fix the issue is currently out of the question to due finances, but is a possibility further down the line.

Thank you for all your help, and if I ever do manage to fix it, or require more help I'll be sure to come back again, you've been a great help.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickieH:
Lol, it's ok. I don't offend that easily, but I did laugh, so thanks for that. Was probably a stupid offer anyway, thinking about it. Perhaps it's me who's too trusting lol. Funny thing is, I would have sent it back, fixed or no, but that's just me. I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who would like to rinse you of a Z3, but me, I've already got one. And a Z5. And a Z4 Tablet, oh and my old Z1 which I gave to my daughter. I've even still got my old Arc S. Either way, good luck. I hope you do get it sorted. Just don't bin it.

As for the battery. I bet any money you'd be able to flash it IF you can get a battery in it with some charge.

Here's a counter offer: I fixed a Z3 for a friend of mine a few months ago. I'll ask him if I can have his spare battery. I made one good Z3 out of two broken ones you see, for him. If he let's me have it, I'll post it to you free of charge. Even if it doesn't work, at least we tried.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strickened:
I might be able to get a battery today actually, a friend of mine has a z3 and he's looking to sell it, but before he does he's going to borrow it to me in order to use his battery! I may just be in luck.

If I do manage to get the battery, I'll be sure to update this post with the verdict. The only worry is that if there's any cracks in the glass at the back, I won't be able to get the battery without completely ruining his phone, so don't want to do that.

I know that my back piece is completely shattered, so if I do manage to get the phone working after all, I'll have to source a new back lol.

Also, back to the topic of trust.. It's not that I don't trust you personally, I just don't trust the internet! I greatly appreciate the offer, and if this battery doesn't working out for me I'd gladly appreciate any help from you in the future.

Thanks again!

Hi guys, i use a Samsung gt19300 aka s3, of recent I've been trying to access my phone through my system but I'm always getting the USB not recognised feedback, I've tried several other USB cords, but I'm still getting the same response. I'm scared it's a hardware problem, even if it is, is there still hope?
[General Questions and Answers] Elitemomo:
Ok so I am cotemplating rooting my lg g stylo and from what I can tell it is obviously possible, however there are some concerns that I have found in the guides for rooting that I am unsure about.

1. To root I will use this method is that OK for my variant and are the drivers compatible for my phone? http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo.html

2. When installing TWRP as specified by Gametheory's website he lists two TWRP recoveries version 10i and 10j which should I use? http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo-twrp.html

3. When it comes to installing xposed I understand the game has changed from jellybean and we need to flash a zip on top of using the apk will using this method work or do I have to go through a special process like the boost lg g stylo

4. Has anybody actually rooted and gotten xposed running on this variant? Because I have been looking around and I can't seem to find anyone who explicitly states that.

5. I have heard that the T- Mobile variant will be getting marshmallow I was looking arund and found this thread discussing the subject matter my question is will rooting not allow me to recieve the update if it becomes available in the future?

Hopefully someone can answer my questions thanks in advance if you take the time to read this thread.
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
1. Yes that works.

2. You can find out whether your device shipped with 10i or 10j and flash the correct recovery or you do trial and error, if the 10i gives you a half screen and is unresponsive then you have a 10j stylo and use the 10j recovery.

3. You don't have a boost stylo why would you use the boost procedure? Xposed on the metro stylo is as easy as flashing the arm-sdk22 zip from the xposed for lollipop thread and installing the xposed installer apk. You could also flash Katana rom from GameTheory which already comes with xposed.

4. Dozens upon dozens of us have, I have a metro stylo myself.

5. Don't hold your breath for marshmallow, it might come tomorrow, it might never come. If/when it does you kdz back to stock and take the update or install it via a flashable zip someone is bound to make of it.

I have the same g stylo from metro. With the 10j software, and for some reason when i try the 1 click root, it doesnt load past what is seen in the attached document.

I'm new to this whole tweaking android thing. Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] gena1221:
So the marshmallow update came out this morning for metropcs. I am curious to know what will happen if I upgrade. Will I lose my root? Will my phone go into a unnavoidable bootloop? Will ut brick? Should I just not update? Im running a stock rom rooted. Twrp is installed all on a metropcs lg g stylo (ms631). Thank you in advance for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] unbreakable360:
Search the forum there are better threads to help you from what I understand some say they have installed on top of root and were successful others are saying that it will boot loop and brick it's best to research to get a clear answer majority are saying you'll have to go back to bone stock to update then root mm after words method is already out

Thank you. I will do some research now. If I find anything interesting, I will share my findings. Also if I do decide to upgrade, i will share if anything happened.[emoji5]

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARS3N4L:
Hey,

I have a Note 4 Developer Edition and have enabled usb debugging. However, when I connect via USB to my Mac, it does not connect. Usually, you will see a notification in the tray that prompts for the desired usb mode. Yet, that option never appears. I tried using both AFT and Kies to connect, but had no success. In fact, when I connect to kies, it starts to connect, but then flashes an error prompt:

"No response from the device. Reboot and reconnect the device. Please contact the customer service centre if the problem persists"

I was only able to read that because I very quickly screenshot the message as it flashed. While Kies gives that message, AFT shows no signs of ever recognizing the device.

Also worth noting is that, on the phone, it asked me something about RSA authentication the first time I tried connecting to this Mac - I remember tapping "yes".

Edit: I have since installed Android Studio on this mac and can successfully connect through the ADB. However, I am still unable to connect to AFT or Kies/Smart Switch
