Hi all,
It seems my X10 mini pro is bricked.
Briefly: When I turn on the phone, it vibrates. About 8 seconds llater, the screen lights up, but doesn't show anything, then goes dark again. It then keeps repeating this: once in a while, the screen lights up, but shows nothing, and then goes dark again.
When plugged in to charge, the LED light doesn't come on (and actually hadn't for a while when charging, even though the phone was still working).
I've deleted all the contents of the SD card and updated the firmware with SEUS and PC Companion; both don't come up with any errors and claim everything has been installed, but there is no change in the phone's behavior. Also tried to install the French stock ROM (the only link that seems to work in the Flashtool+ROM thread) using Flashtool, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any other sugggestions?
I was wondering whether it could actually be a battery problem, as I've had some issues with charging the phone for a while before this happened; e.g. the LED didn't work when charging, and on more and more occasions the phone didn't seem to charge when plugged in. Could this be caused by a problem with the battery? (Have ordered a new one from ebay, so will see what happens when it arrives.) I'm not aware that I did anything unusual with the phone software-wise that could have caused it to be bricked. (Phone was rooted, but I did that ages ago.)
Many thanks for your help!
could be the battery going bad since you mentioned you have it ages ago or so. or could be the cable as well.

I've had it for about 15 months. Is it normal for the battery to go after that amount of time?
Which cable do you mean?
i cannot really tell about the battery but the usb cable for your charger.
Ok, it's not the battery. I tried it in a shop with one of their batteries, which worked in their phone, and the phone still won't turn on.
Is there anyone who thinks it could still be a software issue?
Otherwise it seems my options are to send off the phone, which might cost a bit, or to start digging around in the phone myself for a bit. I found a disassembly guide online, but it scares me a bit, since the first step seems to be to lift off the keyboard, and I'm a bit worried about damaging it and about how to put it back. Has anyone else here got any experience with taking their X10 mini pro apart?
Thanks!
Charging issues etc are nornally to do with the dodgy USB port in the phone. Try wiggling the cable at the port end see if you can get it to charge then try a SEUS

No, it wasn't a charging issue.
Took it to be fixed, and it turned out it was the cable inside that connects the screen etc to the low part of the screen.
Now that the phone is working again, I've got to figure out how to get rid of the French keyboard layout that I got onto it when trying to fix the firmware ...
Why not flashing mine in my signature, it's QWERTY! ;-)

hi everybody,
I need help...My xperia mini st15i has a big problem, that now I'm gonna explain you:
If i turn on phone normally (not charging) it starts normally, but if i enable 2G/3G network, and I try to surf the net, my xperia turns off and reboots continuosly...If i plug usb cable and charge battery i can use network for 15-20 minutes until phone turns off...to make it work, i need to remove battery and wait 5 minutes. Also battery charge is very very slow...to get a complete charge it takes 5-6 hours!
Note: USB cable does not get completely into the mini USB port of the phone, and cable moves.
What could that be? A battery problem? My mini is in stock rom, stock kernel and unlocked bootloader.
PS: sorry for my very bad english.
Thanks to who will answer and try to help me.
Well, This problem can be caused by many reasons.
- For reboot problem, Try to flash clean stock again and see if the problem is still there.
- About slow charging, maybe battery life is over. Buy a new battery.
- For the USB port problem send it to the repair center to change this hardware part.
Good-Luck fixing your problems
My phone has remained switched on, when I went abroad, after returning after 20-25 days you try to charging , but not light is charging, try to connect it via USB to the computer and nothing again, not responding can-not to light ..
I even overnight on the charger and again nothing ...
Is there some kind of similar experience ... or know what it could be?
Thank you.
Hi all,
Please help me solve my issue with my sony xperia z2.
My phone stopped opening when I charged it last Thursday (with 23% battery) using my magnetic charger. I think I can still remember that I encountered an error on my laptop. I think something to do with the USB port.
After that, I charged my phone in a wall socket using a micro usb. But all I get is a blinking red light.
I almost charged my phone the whole day but nothing happened.
Fixes I tried:
- hard reset (pressing volume up+power button)
- sony pc companion
- allowed the battery to be drained for a whole day
I've tried all above but to no avail. Please help me. I just got my phone last August and I really love this phone.
Thank you in advance to you all.

Hi. I have an Xperia Z3 that was running android L as software and everything was working fine. Then I update it to Android 6 and it was the start time of my issues. My phone has started taking a long time to charge and discharge quickly. Now after a week of use, It won't start again.
When I plug it to a wall charger, it just keeps showing Sony Logo and goes off again. But when it is connected to a USB cable, only the red led is permanently on.
I've tried various solutions found on the net but none seems to have worked. Now I've just opened the back of the phone and remove the connector of the battery and now it is showing the battery charging symbol for a time and it goes off again.
Please help me fix this issue. Thanks
Mm that might be the sign of battery degrading I would recommend u to give it to the service center.U
