Hi guys,my brother has the active,and today he just found it dead in his pocket.No turn on,no lights,just a small vibration bump when holding the power key.Any clues?
I've changed battery,SEUS won't detect the phone.However,Flashtool detects a SE phone when I'm holding the volume key.
It was never rooted,just stock firmware.
Any clues?Please help

This thread should go in general not development.
Now i would say that if he never modified the phone and if it still have warranty to take it to a sony ericsson service center that would be his best option.
Try taking the battery out for a few minutes, and by a few i mean something like 5 minutes, then try turning it on.

Remember to try to turn it on, while the battery is out... that will help to drain the capacitors for energy.

If you have unlock bootloader.. And you try to update over the Air then you brick your mobile.. For that just relock your bootloadet

Thank you for the replies guys!The phone is completely untouched,no mods,unlocks etc.

Small vibration when pressing the power button is completely normal. It means, that you don't have to hold the button more...
What happened before this occured?

it was in his brother pocket i don't think he done anything they never do when something goes wrong
just kidding i think there's something wrong from factory and if he don't want to take it back for me the next step will be to try and flash generic firm using wotan server.
Because smaller brother's tend to lie, and since this is a waterproof phone, before sending it to get fixed, make sure that the humidity stickers on the inside of the phone and on the battery are still white and not pink/red.

What? You dont have to unscrew anything to see them. The one on the phone is just on top of the SD card, and the battery one is visible with the battery inserted, from the gap that the Sim card hole has.
Be cool guys,I've "interrogated" him,and I don't think he done anything.
Stickers are fine,and the phone is just 3 months old.Well,it's going to service on Monday.It's just so strange to die like that.
By the way,yesterday in the evening it started to blink red.I've put it on charger and the led soon became yellow,but hte phone still won't turn on.I've replaced the battery with a fresh 100% one from my X8,and still no effect.The battery from the Active is also fine,my X8 works with it,and it's about 70%.
What happens after the vibration during the power button?

Red LED flashing 3 times?
Your battery is empty.
yes, flash 3 times, but if i connect the charger the LED still flashing RED, it´s normal?
EDIT: after 1 minute the LED stop flashing
EDIT 2: I can put in flashboot (green led) and fastboot (blue led) mode, but after 2/3 minutes my phone auto disconnect...
The charger not charging the phone, i will try one different charger, when you remove the battery ang put in directly on the charger...
If somebody have anyone ideia, i´m gratefully...
Sorry about the questions, i´m totally lost...
so sorry to hear about your problem.
i have an older sony ericsson phone.
red blinking light is not a good sign.
not charging when plugged in.
tried charging the battery itself, still did not work.
could be bricked already, try taking it to service center.
Before taking an expensive visit to the service...
Get Sony Mobile Update Service(link in my signature), install it and try Repair option on your phone, it will require to place your phone in flashmode(green LED).
What happened actually before turning off? Did the phone turn itself off or you did?
Hi,I think its just the battery broken.The phone did work since the battery was disscharged,its the battery for 99% sure.Dont buy new one,maybe some of your friends have same kind battery,or go to phone service and tell you want to check if its going to work,so they dont charge you nothing and you will see if its work.Hope I help you mate.

1st - Batteries don't break down like this.
2nd - Phone's LED works, so battery still has power inside.
3rd - I have discharged my phone's battery completely quite a lot of times, still works just great(never calibrated and will never do).

EDIT: The problem is not battery, when I turn on the device, it vibrates but the screen stays black with no sign of response.
I can plug it in fastboot mode and ... flashmode
Any suggestions?
This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(

Nothing. Its like as if the phone soft bricked itself, probably by auto updating or something

Have you tried the reset button under the microsd flap? Press and hold for 3 secs.
I did read another user had an issue where the screen blanked for around a day, he left it plugged in and came back to it about 6 hours later and it was fine again.

I tried that and basically all the other normal options. No use. The computer recognises it as a USB Input Device and for a second or two, the red LED comes up. Same thing when I am charging

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

Warranty exists with Sony for first year, no matter where it's bought, very true.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?
First off, if this has already been addressed I am sorry I couldn't find anything about this.
My wife's Sony Xperia U has been behaving quite weirdly lately and is about to be thrown in the garbage very soon, it is (or the battery is) most likely 87.35% dead but I want to ask here in case it would be something else and could be fixed before she buys a new phone.
Short backup story, she works at a farm and gets a lot of dust and stuff on her phone, and once when she cleaned it up it died for 2 days and the water indicators are now red (duh). It wasn't booting up or charging, the red DEL wasn't lighting up either. But then after a while I toyed with it (literally torn it open because I broke a screwhead and had to force it open to see if there were any apparent damage, but I didn't break the components, just forced on the plastic frame), I didn't find anything, but when I closed it down I tried to plug it in... And it charged. Then it worked perfectly fine for about two weeks. Two days ago it died again.
Here's the real problem: When the battery is completely depleted I can charge it (the red DEL shows up and all) but as soon as it got enough charge to boot up I am unable to charge it in any way whatsoever. If I boot it up the DEL won't show and it doesn't charge, if I don't boot it up the DEL shows for 2 seconds when I plug it in then it goes off and the screen shows the Sony logo for a few seconds then turns off. I am no longer able to charge the phone until we wait for the battery to be depleted again, then I can charge it (after over 30 minutes of trying). I did a factory reset but no changes. Oh and computers no longer detect the device, it worked last week but not anymore.
I suspect that the battery is the issue, however it does charge completely when I plug it in while it is depleted so it is not dead (could be damaged though). Since it charges sometimes it must not be the USB port (I have inspected it and cleaned it, looks fine). The cable/charger is all right, it works perfectly fine on everything else (and we did try another cable to be sure).
Does anyone have any idea of what could be done to fix this if it is possible to do so without buying/changing parts? The phone is no longer under warranty and my wife doesn't want to invest money in the device, if it can't be home fixed then she'll buy a new one. I know it is most likely that nothing can be done but I'm still hoping since she really loves this device and I want to fix it for her if I can.
TL;DR: Phone is all right, battery is most likely almost dead, I need to know if it can be fixed or not before we buy a new phone.
Sorry for the long post, and sorry again if it is obvious that nothing can be done (I still hold on on my hopes, just in case). And yes I'm Canadian, sorry for being sorry.
Video
In case anyone wants to look at my issue here is a video of what happens when I plug the charger in when the battery is charged and the device is turned off. You can see the red DEL for a few seconds when I plug the cable in.
If anyone needs more information (in the event that there is still hope) feel free to ask, of course.
I didnt think battery could do such a mess like that. Im afraid your phone charge controller had been damage by the water. Could you enter fastboot or flashmode?

Of all the things I have thought of, I didn't try these two options, but the device is rooted and its bootloader isn't even unlocked, can I still enter fastboot or flashmode?
You should be able to enter flashmode regardless of bootloader condition. Did you try it?

Just tried, but after the DEL bar turns green nothing happens (the phone either boots regularly or not at all), I have read that it needs to be over 70% charge and it is around 40% so I need to wait for it to be depleted to charge it again to 100% (because for now I can't charge it at all as I explained in my first post)... What would you suggest me to do once I can enter flash mode?

By DEL did you mean LED? Im sorry just confused. If the led turn green an stay like that for around a minute then your bootloader certainly not damaged. I suggest you flash stock firmware using either Flashtool or SEUS.

Haha yeah I meant LED, DEL is in my native language and I switched them up, sorry! I have fully charged the phone now, and I can't seem to enter flash mode (or w/e the name), I am supposed to connect the USB cable to my PC (but not to the phone), power down the phone, press and hold volume down then plug the cable in, but the only thing that happens is the LED bar turning green for a few seconds then nothing (if I keep on holding volume down then the phone boots normally, if I release volume down then the phone shuts down after showing the Sony logo).
On the side I am trying to download the Oneclick root thing I've heard about, see if rooting the device and installing a new ROM can help...

Seems like you dont have proper driver on your pc. Btw if you succesfully rooted your phone and in case you had unlocked bootloader, i suggest using latest nightly CM11.

It seems that the version of my wife's phone cannot have its bootloader unlocked so I can't root it, however I did use the provided program by Sony (PC companion or something) and have upgraded the device to Android 4.x, it has been working fine for nearly two days now, I hope that it will hold. Last time I had "fixed" it it had stopped charging after about a week for no discernable reason.
I was unable to enter flash mode but I still want to thank you as it were your advice that made me think of upgrading the phone.

Good to hear it. Hope it will stay that way. Btw, if you are unable to unlock bootloader you still can root it in case you had sim-free phone. After you root it you can still install custom recovery and other custom rom that can be use on stock bootloader.

Sorry for taking so long to answer! Well when the phone's battery is full it gets detected by my computer so I could upgrade it. But unfortunately it did not fix the issue. The phone would work as normal for a while then suddenly die and I have to wait a couple of hours before I can charge it up and open it again. So I guess it is officially dead.
My wife just got a new device (Moto G) so I guess that all's good now. She was able to back up her pictures and data, gladly.
Thank you a lot for your help!

Oh well its a paperweight then haha. Seems like its a problem with the phones board, sony has really gone to the dumps after parting with ericsson. I never had any issues with my X10 back in the day cept for bricking it myself time and again with bad flashed lol.
Yeah, what makes me sad is that she really loved the device (Sony's UI and all), she wanted another Sony but there were none at the shop and got the Moto G but she seems to like it too!

Few days ago, i wash my Z ultra under the tap like i normally do with all the flaps closed . Soon after, my vibration module stop working . I thought it was some error on the application and ignore it. Waking up the next day to find that the battery is flat and proceed to charge it. Saw the red led light up and thought that it was charging and left it be for a few hour. Came back to proceed to on the phone but it just blink 3 time and the phone never boot up.
Tried all the method take out moisture for the phone as it might be due to water sipping in the phone but to no avail. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it as i feel kinda lost now...
Gotten the phone from my friend who rooted it to GPE so i think there is no more warranty.
Any help will be appreciated.
Does it vibrate when you turn on? Can your laptop recognize the phone?

No it does not vibrate . When i try to plug in the computer the first time, it say input driver has been successfully installed. After that when i replug in nothing pops up.
What about flash mode or fast boot mode? Have you let it sit out a day or two not plugged in? I would do that as well. Let everything dry inside.

Tried the rice method, hairdryer method to get the water out. Plug in for a full day to the wall charger . When i connect the phone to my computer or power now, only shows a red led. When i tries to boot normally or into recovery, led flash red 3 times and stop, no vibration is felt. Since i unplug from charging, i cant even see the red led when trying to boot .
Try this. Connect phone to wall charger 1st. Press and hold power button and the volume up button at the same time for 10 second. You should feel 3 vibrates. Let go and let charge for more than 2 hours. Then connect to computer and repair/reinstall with pcc. If all that doesn't work then do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646405

I tried that ytd and it dint work, my z ultra wasn't brick as i was using fine before i wash the phone. The water damage indicator remains white so i am not sure whats the problem with it. pcc doesn't detect my phone at all .
I'm sorry sir. I don't have any more solutions other than just let it sit for a day or 2 and let everything dry inside. In the mean time see if you have warranty on the phone. Look and see when your friend bought the phone if under a year it is covered. Just play dumb. Don't tell them you washed iy.
