Hi guys,
I'm repasting what I wrote in my previous thread hoping you can have a clearer view of my issue.
My phone has the standard ROM, WP 6.5, nothing changed
I never flushed the phone, never formatted it, etc, everything is legit!
My TG01 has died many months ago and now I'm looking into ways of having it re-activated. I will explain to you my possible theories why it died, so maybe some of you will have an idea how to fix it
- For the first 4-5 months I only used PC USB (synchronization) charging, as I had a UK mains which obviously does not work in Europe. I noticed that the battery indicator was never really accurate, showing me the battery levels very vaguely.
- I often synchronized my Outlook e-mails with my mobile phone, one day my phone died when I chose to synchronize all e-mails. It died to an extent that the battery was completely empty. My PC wouldn't recognize it and it would only start for 5 seconds (the red led lamp would shine) and then die...
I somehow managed to revive it with my normal charger but afterwards it used to overheat quite a lot...
- One day I left it to synchronize again and the battery died on me again (at least that's what I think had happened)... the difference that USB PC charging did not work anymore as well mains charging. I was desperate enough to buy a replacement battery from eBay and I still have the same story. When I connect the phone to the charger I don't even see the diode lighting up anymore.. NOTHING. Any tips?
Could it be that the replacement battery is also so empty that even a mains can't charge it anymore? I heard someone mention something with cutting a wire etc, ... would that help me? IF so.. how do you exactly do that?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
So far no luck in getting updates from you, but I've got an update for myself:
I somehow managed to get the LED diode turn red when I connected it to the computer, which should be indicating the fact that the phone is charging, right? When I try to power it up the device manager recognizes a device called TOSHIBA DL... does this mean my phone is in some sort of emergency state?
The screen lights up a bit as well, but remains black.
yess this means your tg01 is NOT bricked. try take your battery out and put it back in so its totaly switched off then press n hold CAMERA, VOL UP, POWER keys to perform a master reset. if that doesnt work try this,
use the short pin method, put a .tsw in a PRG folder at the root off your sd card and short pins 1 and 3
if not,
download a tg01 rom in a .bin and flashh the .bin via tgdownloader
if you dont know these methods please tell me and i will link and help you.
Hi!
Thanks for your reply. If you could guide me a bit with the pins method, that would be great.
Also, when I plug in the mobile phone to charge now the red light is now flashing, instead of remaining constant, what could that indicate?
Phone never turns on now
hi there, it sounds like your battery has gone flat try leaving it on charge via USB for a few hours see if that will kickstart it and for the pin method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654674
try to charge your battery first as it may just be a flat battery but if not you may need to reflash your rom via the pin method
if there are any problems or you are unsure message me back
Device Xperia X10i, Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Installed Jelly bean Rom of Feralab. Device worked perfectly on it. Since yesterday, after waking up, found my device bricked. Symptoms displayed after device got bricked :
a) If connected to wall charger with battery present, device only displays green light for 15 to 20 seconds max and then green light goes off. Then no activity in the whole device.
b) If connected to wall charger with battery absent, device again shows green light (with battery absent that is).
c) Tried SEUS, Answer : After the complete successful operation : Nada Nothing !
d) Tried Flash Tool, Still Nada. Tried flashing Xperia Stock Rom : Replaced System.sin , Header.sin and what not etc. "Even checked No Final Matchup" while flashing. Answer : Nada. !
e) Stock Used is "X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-IN_GENERIC_1237-0692.ftf" flashed it. Still Nada ! However, no errors occurred while flashing.
f) Device when trying to switch on, displays green light blinked once, then vibrates and then just goes simply Naaadaa !!!
Nothing at all. Please help. If this helps, I am attaching log file of flashing device via flash tool. Man, device is just bricked. Answer and help appreciated . Thanks in advance.
Since I can't attach link to external log file on paste bin : here's I have uploaded the log file.
Update : Since I was on Fera Lab's Jb earlier, I want to notify that my "Unknown Sources and Debugging" was not checked in phone settings. It wasn't on and now that its bricked, I dunno whether it will make any difference or not ? In bricked state, with "Unknown Sources and Debugging" not checked. Can't get device to on, blinks one time green signal and then vibrates and nothing afterwards !
Update Number 2 : Hey, after completely keeping aside the battery for more than 24 hours, I connected the device to external wall DC supply (while battery was removed and never inserted after the 24 hours interval that is). After connecting the device to DC wall supply, it gave me the same response, flicked and showed green light and then vibrated and then nothing ! F1 anyone. !!!
Update Number 3 : http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...on-Flash-mode-even-when-plugin-to/td-p/273134
Just Googled my problem and came to this link. I can very much relate to the link although, His device was water locked, (there was this small white rectangle, if it is water damaged then it will be red) Surprisingly, his device which was water damaged shows the same symptom as mine. So, i checked mine, but the sticker or white rectangle for moist / humidity checker is white totally. So I guess it can't be water damaged, although, it showed the same symptoms !
Update Number 4: Since green Light was always On, I thought what if its in flash mode and much to my surprise, the device is in Flash Mode when I switch it on, how I found out : While flashing via SEUS, I didnt press the back key and the device got connected in flash mode by default, So i narrowed down the problem to something that : My device boots to Flash mode and not as it normally should ? Is it a mother board problem ? Can it be cured ? (god no please not mother board problem) So ? Any thoughts anyone to make it come out f the flash mode. ?
C] Tried SEUS, Answer : After the complete successful operation : Nada Nothing !
after the Successful Operation did you unplug the phone and tried to turn it on?
After the Successful SE Update Services was successful my phone didn't start, then i removed battery and reconnected, power on and works fine.
search in forums for Dr Goodvibes his suggestions did help me.

Your phone indicates an unlocked bootloader, just for your information.
What's the thoughts on the battery? Was it in a good service state?
Take the battery out of the phone for 48 hours and then put it back in the phone and power the phone on.
The green light for a few seconds indicates the phone is attempting, or in a recovery state.
Your phone may have just had a 'moment' and has a "locked instruction", that just needs to be cleared with no power applied to the chipset.
This has worked for others and is more voodoo than science, but worth a try.

Oh thanks for the update about the boot loader state. i definitely be keeping it apart for 48 hours and will update you regarding the same. thanks for the reply, you know i love this set of mine and your precious replies gives me hope.
Regarding the battery state, i guess it was okay, gave me a 1 day backup on the phone. So i guess it was in a kinda okay service state. though am not sure whether its fully charged or not. i don't actually know the power state / current charge level of the battery though coz i found the device bricked. if there's anything you can suggest, will be really helpful. though thanks for the information.
So I waited and waited for some more time, couldn't wait any longer for the 48 hours duration. Does t has to be 2 days ? I just wanted to bring my device back to life. Though, after giving up shortly after 12 + hours, I flashed it again, it did successfully, although, nothing even now, green light followed by a vibration and then boom. nothing ! f1 help needed ? btw, does it has to be 2 days?
I would have placed the battery back in the phone and pressed the power button and see if it booted, or allowed you to get to CWM Recovery with blue light or xRecovery(if installed).
One day, one week. How long does residual power remain in a circuit board to hold the current date/time before resetting?
Maybe buy a cheap BST-41 1500mAh battery for the XPERIA X10 and try that. Could be just a bad battery.
You could check the battery with a multimeter and see if it still has a charge.
My knowledge base stops at this point as I have no experience beyond this.
Good luck.

Thanks Dr. Goodvibes, I definitely will keep you posted. Though, when I plugged the battery in, first I did check, nuthing ! green light + vibration. and then it goes blank. I installed my feralab jb rom via xRecovery so, yes it is there (installed) but afterwards I have flashed the stock via SEUS so i guess even xRecovery is gone now. I am not for sure. Though it was installed earlier. Right now I am thinking of keeping it apart till the time i found a new battery, it can be even 2 + days. Even 1 week. I will wait for a week now. Thanks for letting me know all about this. Keep me posted.

I just got my Z2 today but I have two strange issues that often overlap. First, I can't turn it off without it initiating a boot loop all on its own. It's not rooted or anything but every time I press the power button and select "Power Off", it turns off and then about 5 seconds later the Sony screen comes back on, stays on for a few seconds, turns back off and repeats. Notably, it doesn't vibrate when the screen turns back on like the device does when I turn it on regularly. I can break the bootloop by holding the power button for about 10 seconds and turning the device back on.
My second issue has to do with charging. If I leave it on the charger for more than a couple minutes, the charging LED stays on and the status bar says its charging even several minutes after I pull it off the charger. The only way to get it off is to turn the device off which in turn initiates the first bug.
Even more confusing, the "boot loop" issue stops (without me having to power on the device) when I plug the device in to charge and will resume if I unplug it.
Any ideas?
Try fixing software with Sony pc companion, if that doesn't work and its brand new I'd raise an RMA. If it's not brand new, and thus might be running non Standard firmware, try flashing a stock ftf for your region and then if required try fixing with pc companion and again RMA it if that doesn't work.
Yeah I tried the repairing and I'd rather not root it so I guess I'll be sending it back.
Same issue here
I have the exact same issue plus the charger issues only happen when using the standart charger, if I use the magnetic charger none of that issues appear, but I still have the boot loop problem.
My phone is NOT rooted and it hasn't been modified in any ways.
Compilation number 23.0.1.A.0.167
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-gd4d661a [email protected] #1
Baseband 8974-AAAAANPZQ-00027-12
The issue appered after a few months of use, in November. I think it didn't coincide with any software update.
It's not a brand new phone so I wouldn't like to return it as I already have lots of information in there.
Thank you for helping.
It's a problem with the charging circuit. Probably one diode got damaged somehow. You need to send in the device for warranty repair. The mainboard needs to be replaced.
I'm quite sure you plugged in the magnetic charger cable upside down.
Hi, everybody. Need your help.
Yesterday, midday (when I expected the phone to ahve 70%+ charge), I suddenly noticed my Xperia C5 was off and would not turn on. (By the way, I recently installed Android 6.0 about a week ago).
I assumed something had caused the battery to drain completely, so I went home and plugged it in.
Red light activates, goes out, vibrates, comes back on, and stays on. After 20-30 minutes, still no activity (not even the charging percentage), so I research on this forum, and others, how to recover the device.
Two-button power-down did not work, so I downloaded the Xperia Companion and followed the instructions for Software Repair.
The PC / Companion doesn't recognize the phone at first, but following the software repair instructions, holding the volume button down before plugging the the USB into the computer, the green light (on the phone) came on, and the software repair process commenced (automatically).
First attempt at software repair failed, so I tried with a different USB cable. Second time was a success, and Xperia Companion was able to successfully reload software version 29.2.A.0.122-R3B.
However, I still cannot turn on the device. I have now left it charging for the past 2-3 hours, and it's still in the same state as before the software repair.
I noticed one odd quirk: If I press and hold the power and volume-up button, the red light goes of, there is a medium vibration, then three strong vibrations, before the red light goes on again. Then nothing else happens.
Any advice on how to rescue this C5?
Thanks!!
Sorry - I should have put this in the troubleshooting thread...
Just an additional interesting piece of information:
If Xperia Companion is NOT activated (i.e., not loaded), and I plug the device into my PC, Windows will alert me that a device is connected (as it usually does, with the chime), and the red light on the C5 turns GREEN.
Then in my Windows Device Manager, I can see the phone as an "Unspecified" device called S1 Service.
Clicking further into the propertise of this "S1 Service", I see that the Hardware is listed as a SOMC Flash Device, manufacturer is Sony Mobile Communications (etc.).
Every few seconds, I will hear the sound of a device being disconnected, the green light turns red, then there's a vibration, it gets reconected, and it goes green again. Repeat.
Xperia C5 Ultra E5553 Unbrick Succesfully :good:
Hi everyone, the only solution = Jtag repair , another solutions not successful! I repaired my device this solution and was successful. My device perfect working now :good:
some prob here
I have question, recently i flashed a rom on my c5 ultra dual, now it don't turn on anymore, only red light. I still have warranty on my phone
if i can't start the phone, is it possible that the manufacturer also can't start the phone, or will they find out that i broke the warranty rules?
In mid december 2016 my c5 ultra E5553 shut down randomly several times and then decided to wake up again 20 minutes later / one day later. It happened again in late january and took about 5 days before it decided to wake up (as I was preparing a hardware repair request!!). I am guessing a dodgy battery / connection as the 'one day later' restart happened as I was flexing the chassis to get the sim & sd card out - even though the phone had been on charge since the shutdown the battery percent had not changed / gone up.
The '5 days later' restart the battery was completely flat but the phone showed some signs of response when I plugged the charge cable in - after about 5 minutes of charge it then powered up when I hit the start button. Have not used it since as I was looking to flash up from the stock 5.1 ROM.
Amusingly I have landed on xda-dev looking for a flash tool as the xperiablog forum has the latest stock ROM (6.x) but advise that the flash tool they use bricks c4 & c5s...
so in summary, it randomly drops power and goes completely dark & unresponsive, but then decides it will let you wake it up sometime later...

Hi all,
A while ago the back of my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact had a big crack. Since I was opening my phone to fix this anyway, I decided to replace the battery + ribbon cable for the side buttons and vibrating motor as well.
All seemed good when I deassembled it and put it all back together. Unfortunately my phone hasn't booted since.
When booting, the backlight lits but I see nothing on the LCD. I get a blinking red LED for 4 times, after which it stays solid red for a little while followed by a reboot.
Somewhere on the internet I found that the 4 flashes represent a defective LCD, although I have no verification of this.
What I've tried so far:
All the possibilities given on the internet using the volume up/down/power button.
Using the off button near the sim tray (10 sec pressed / 120 sec pressed)
Used the repair function of the Sony Xperia Companion (which succeeded without any result)
Changing ROM / Kernel using flashtool after unlocking the bootloader
Using the old battery to see if this makes any difference
Measuring the L fuse, which seems to be fine.
Charging my phone for many hours
Unfortunately non of this seems to work and I'm out of options. All was working fine before. Also the new battery gives 3.8 Volt and the ribbon cable with the new buttons works.
I can get my phone into fastboot / flash mode
Does anyone know what else I can try, or is it a defective motherboard and is it time to say goodbye to my z5c?
I hope someone can help me out
Update:
I flashed another rom (nougat 7.11 ) and used greenkernel. Now the phone stops flashing red. The battery shows its normal green (fully charged) LED.
Unfortunately still only backlight and no LCD.
Hey QuuN,
I got the exact same problem, and tried exactly what you tried, including measuring the L fuse (and it was normal).
I would just like to know if you finally achieve to repair it.
I hope you are doing well in these times of pandemic crisis.

Hello Destruktanc,
Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix the problem. As it was an older phone, the costs for replacing the motherboard / LCD wasn't worth it for me.
Hopefully there is an other solution for you which doesn't involve replacing hardware. As for the pandemic crisis, I'm doing great. Hope that also goes for you.
