Z2 bricked and can not turn on - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, guys
I upgraded my z2 from 5.1.1 to MM. It's existenz v1.0.0. It worked good. I wanted to downgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1 . I entered TWRP and restored the ROM that I saved before. I press "reboot system" and then It totally backed out. It can not turn on. I pressed power + volume up, it didn't vibrate. I tried, tried... many times but it didn't work. I use the flashtool to downgrade. When I pluged the cable and pressed volume down. The red light just flashed, flashed and flashed and nothing happened. What is that problem. Can I save my phone anymore. Plz help.

Sudden death.

Have you tried pushing the red button for 5 seconds under the microusb cover flap to completely reset the system?
Does the device get recognised in the DeviceManager, if so have you installed the correct developer.sonymobile[com]/downloads/drivers/xperia-z2-driver/ drivers for it? (you could also try it on ubuntu)
Are you sure your connection / cable is good?
Have you tried to boot into theandroidsoul[com]/sony-xperia-z2-flash-mode-54084 flashmode? (volume down), does it get recognised then?

I tried the ways you showed me. Sadly, it didn't work. The cable I use is OEM. I connected it in flashmode to flash. It didn't recognize. The red light of the phone kept flashing. Maybe, my phone is completely dead. Thank you for helping me.

Ah, this doesn't sound too good. The good thing is that the flashtool works, but since it doesn't help you may try a method called "test point". But if you decide to do it, be very careful not to touch anything else with the paper clip (if you touch the small component with the metal surface there will be sparks coming out).

have you tried to put your phone on charge?
sounds to me that the battery level is too low.
are you on LB or UB??

My phone is LB. The battery was about 60% plus at the time of restoring the LP Rom. I pluged it in to charge, but the red light kept flashing.

[Q]Can't boot xperia x10 mini pro in flash mode and can't back it to stock ROM

Hello comrades,
I have xperia x10 mini pro. I rooted phone with Flashtool and installed CWM. I tried to boot it in flash mode (turned off phone, back button held and plugged in USB into the phone), but what I get is that my phone turned on always, like that I pressed Power button.
Earlier I couldn't boot it into the flash mode and I got that I charging battery, but after I installed CWM, phone always turns on.
Due to, I can't re-flash it because it always turns on. I tried with flashtool, PC companion, SEUS but all software need that I turn off phone and then hold back button and plug in usb and what I get is turned on phone. Please help me how to fix this problem.
I would like to re-flash it to stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 (2.1-update1).
Phone turns on even if I just plug in usb to phone (one end is in the PC and when I plug in other end into the phone, phone turns on). What is wrong guys?

Happened to me b4 if u want to repair with pc comp just remove the battery till u reach connection step then quickly connect battery and cable (nvm the cover) and hold back button when connecting if u do fast enough will work

Leave your phone plugged in and press POWER-HOME and BACK all together, as soon as the screen turns completelly black (backlight off too) releast POWER and HOME, and leave the back-button pressed, that will probably work too.

Can you explain me a little more detailed, i didn't get you very well. I am noob
How do you mean until I reach connection step, where should I reach connection step?
You take out the battery, then you go into PC Companion and follow the steps to repair your phone, until it asks to connect your phone in flash-mode.
Then do as he said (put the battery in etc.)

What do you think, what will happened if I wipe it using CWM? Can I brick it on that way?
If you mean formatting your phone, so you don't have a system on there anymore... that probably will give you a brick. Flashmode is a hardware feature, implemented to install firmware and enable reparations to your phone's software.
Deleting everything you can will not magically solve your problem, as far as i know.
It might help if you get mad at the phone and abuse the back-button by repeatedly pressing it when connecting the phone.

Does this mean that I have hardware problem. Phone works without any problem.
Somehow it doesn't detect you pressing the back-button, maybe there is some dust or dirt inbetween the contacts or something, since you flashed sucessfully before i don't think it's a serious hardware-problem.

I didn't flashed it before, I couldn't do that. I couldn't unlock bootloader, because I couldn't boot it in flash mode (phone just show that battery charging), after installing CWM now phone even don't show that battery is charging (it turns on when I plug in USB in the phone without holding any button). This is nightmare!
You are still on the original firmware then?
I mean, your phone still works?

Yes, I am on original firmware and phone still works, but I have problem to boot it in flash mode. When I plug in USB cable in the phone it turns on, like that I pressed POWER button. I don't press any button, but when I plug in usb cable 10-20 seconds and phone is on.
Yes, because your phone detects the usb-cable getting plugged in, even when it's off, it thinks you want to charge it, so (normally) it loads the kernel in order to start the charging-process, that is normal behaviour. I have been on a kernel that didn't support that feature, and it booted into the full rom before it started charging.
In short: the usb-port also functions as a power-button, sort off
Does the back-button work normally when you're on the firmware? (Like, open the app-drawer, pressing back-button should close it?)

Yes, the back button works perfect, closing apps (not close apps, but back to the phones "desktop"), back to previous pages in browser...
I am concerned because, before I installed CWM , when it was OFF and plugged in on USB, phone just showed black screen and when I clicked on some button I could see that battery is charging, that was all. Now, when I plug in USB it turns on like I pressed POWER button.
And off course never booted in flash mode because it turns on

What is app-drawer, I don't know what is that.
oh, that's the bit where you find all your installed apps, the grid you see when you press on the little triangle on the bottom of your desktop, or swipe up on the desktop.
I honestly don't know why your phone won't go into flash-mode though. Maybe try to take out your battery for about 10 minutes so your phone gets rid of all charge and static, and then try again.

I solved problem about POWER-ing on when I plug in USB. I installed new ROM "MiniCM7Pro_V21_Paul_XXX" via CWM because I didn't need to boot it in flash mode and now when I plug in USB I got that it charging battery and orange led diode.
But I can't boot it in flash mode even with new ROM, all the time orange led diode when I hold back button and plug in USB. I wiped out all date except something about "battery" from Advanced CWM options.

Phone wont boot. Bad flash

Xperia S Issues. Bad Flash
Hi, I read the 'existing users' installation instructions on the Sspeed ICS rom and installed the rom without installing the ics rom and kernel (I was tired). When booting, I go in a bootloop with the doomkernel screen. I can access recovery fine.
When holding vol+ and connecting to PC the phone goes back into it's bootloop and does not boot into fastboot.
When holding vol- and connecting to PC the phone flashes the green led and then boots into bootloop.
If I wait until the phone vibrates and lights up blue I can press the button to access recovery. I thought I could then just copy a gb rom over using USB mount but it is not detected on the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks but like I say fast boot and flashmode don't work so I can't access this option
I have the same problem too... I was hoping it would just work, but apparently it doesn't it needs a base rom.....I'm at work at the moment so i cannot fix my phone(i flashed it while at work which i shouldn't have done...) i noticed you can put it into fast boot in recovery - go to reboot options then fast boot can you see if that works

Hi thanks for your reply. I've tried going to fastboot
from recovery and I get a blue flashing light for one flash then it boots up again. Am I able to do anything at that point?
Glad I'm not the only stupid one on here
im not the expert here but I have bricked other phones before but never an xperia phone before. I have been reading up, the doom kernel has some mounting options, try to mount the sd card as mass storage so pc can send files accross to the phone. It should be mount and storage menu -> mount usb storage, then leave it on that menu and connect to computer, see if that works

Hi is this by the mount USB storage optuon ? I tried that and it wasn't detected on the PC. I could try another PC later. Recovery went into mount mode fine but nothing happened on the PC. Not even a blank drive which I know some people have had
If it blinks the LED for a second and reboots, that means that you don't have the drivers. Install drivers that are bundled with flashtool and try again. Or use Linux / OSX.

I've used the laptop I'm trying it on for unlocking the boot loader and rooting. Maybe something corrupted the drivers. Will try on my Linux machine when I get home.
Thank you for all the help so far
Just Press VolUp and Power button until you get (one vibration followed by 3 consecutive vibrations) ... it will mean phone is shutdown.
Once shutted down, you will be able to press VolDown while plugging phone to PC and it will enter into flashmode.
Then you will be able to flash a FTF using flashtool
doesn't work...after the 3 beeps i let go and the screen turns black but then the boot loop happens again, i cant turn the phone off

Hello. I've got familiar problem. My phone blacked out after one day having about 35 % battery full. I was trying to reset it by holding power and volume up buttons - nothing happened. Just once showed up Sony logo but then again black nothing. Then it vibrate 3 times quickly and from that time it is shutted down, won't turn on even in flashmode. LED is not working too. I was asking for advice in local store servise and guy told me, that new phones have to be at least 30 min on the charger. So it's here now for hour, no result. :/
Just fixed this issue.
Follow these steps
1.hold vol up + power until phone vibrates 3 times.
2.open flash tool and point towards your stock file.
3.hit okay
4.wait for flash tool to prepare the files then it will prompt you to connect device in flash mode( vol down + power)
5.wait for it to finish. Unplug reboot and there you go fixed...
Hope this helps

Use the bundled wallcharger!!! not a PC, pc has too less power to charge it now!
After wallcharger is placed hold vol+ and power for a few seconds until 3 vibrations, then let the phone on charger for atleast 2 hours, if all is good phone will bootup to the "charging animation"

Something similar happened to me. I have the bugged version of chargemon (only can charge with phone on) and accidentally discharged completely. The phone didn't boot, didn't charge and didn't do the 3 vibrations thing. So I put the battery off, conected the wall charger, putted the battery and it booted
It's really easy to remove the battery, you just need to be careful

only once the red light is blinking or it is continuously turning on when you are connecting the charger..if it is turning on then charge your mobile
for 3-4 hour..if that is not the case then try flashmode and fastboot mod..and when you are pressing power button are you getting any vibration??
if there above things dont work then your device may have hard bricked for which you have to take your device to service center...good luck

the red blinking light apears everytime i connect the charger, but for 1 sec. but now when i connect it to wall charger no red light but when i connect it to pc usb the red light apears and now it stays and doesnt go away. does this mean it is charging?!
how can i fix it with flashmode or fastboot?!
i dont think it is bricked because it was working fine 2 days ago and suddenly it started restarting!
then try to enter into flash mod by pressing the vloume down button and simultaneously connect the usb to the pc...if it is working then flash the stock ftf...if by connecting the cable to the phone through pc led is showing constantly then keep it remain like that for 3-4 hours..it might get charged.

i connect it to pc and the red light appears but it disappears after 10 minutes and i have to disconnect and then connect it again to get the red light!
its on the OS, could happen any time. Probably bootloop.
install flashtool
download ICS stock room
click the lightning on the flashtool and locate where you have put the ICS stock room.tft
hold down volume before connecting the cable to the phone.
then wait till the stockrom flash correctly.

its easy to recognize it, hold turn-off button and volume-up until 3 vibrations = force turn-off
if already turn-off

DUDEEEEEEE CALM DOWN AND LISTEN. THE FIRST SIGN OF AN XDA NOOB IS TO PANICK WHEN HIS/HER PHONE IS BRICKED.
Listen to the advice of @skyfast as what he said is completely correct. Try his suggestions and update us. Flash Mode will work regardless of what state. Hold volume down then connect the cable to enter flash mode.

install the drivers and try flashmode again.
Do you perhaps know if your bootloader is unlocked?
If so try to get into fastboot mode ( volume up ) and flash a custom kernel like androplus that has recovery.
Then flash a stock pre-rooted zip.

Hi dude.
Try to press and hold power and volume up buttons together for a 10 seconds until your phone vibrate 3 times,maybe help.
Ofcourse,your battery must me charged even 10 %.

already tried...didnt vibrate..also tried red small button near sim card slot..nothing happens too...the only thing that happen is what i mention on the question when connecting to charger...actually..i tried almost everything that i get from internet..but..maybe someone know something..other way..to get my phone back to life..so i asked here..just maybe there are solution...thanx anyway
If your screen turn on even for a second when you connect to the charger there must be a solution.
The bad thing should be if screen not responding at all and that would mean that motherboard is dead.

looks like you phone freezed.
Try to use hard reset button, because "Device Connected with USB Debugging off" means your phone is turned on.
Press and hold hard reset button (near SIM Slot, small red button) for a moment to 3 buzzes. Then leave this button. Try to turn on. If it won't boot, do the same procedure and your phone will be turned off. Connect your phone in flashmode, FlashTool should recognize it.
Hope it helps, got similar problem, it has fixed it

Bootloop and battery won't charge

so i was flashing existenz MM and i can't go to recovery mode, before installing it i have xzdual recovery installed, so i thought i can just flash it again (and ofc it was stupid because after that i just know xzdual won't work with MM) so it's bootloop even when i charge it, the problem is the battery died and it won't fill the battery, the phone keep restarting when plugged in with charger so it keeps draining the battery before it filled up, i can't flash it because of that, the question is, how can i fill the battery so that i can flash it using flashtool?
thanks, and sorry if my English is bad.

If there is no other way you can always open the phone and charge the battery manually(if you have the equipment to do that). I had to do that to my phone yesterday(my battery was so low that it wouldn't boot).

You have to use a hairdryer. There are tutorials on YouTube.

The phone should also be able to charge in recovery. Try that.
Btw. I recently flashed a Z2 via flashtool with an unplugged battery (usb power was enough), so you could also try flashing it now although it's empty.

Thank you for the reply,
but the phone cant boot to recovery.
so i should remove the battery and try to flash it without battery plugged in?
because i tried to charge the phone overnight with no luck, havent tried removing the case yet because im not experienced to remove them, is there any alternative that i should try without touching the hardware stuff?

I would first try to flash just like it is now, without opening the back cover.
Opening the back panel is the last option I would consider, but only if everything else fails.
The thing with opening back cover is, that you will most likely damage you back panel, and you will have to order some new, fake raplecement + the phone won't be waterproof anymore.
And if you can get your phone into fastboot mode (and you've got unlocked bootloader) then just use "adb fastboot flash boot boot.img" command to flash some kernel with recovery.

Have you tryied to plug it in and then press power and volume up continiusly until you fell three vibrations? i think this is for reseting the phone if you continue to press until another vibration it will shut down and maybe then it will charge. Also this thread had helped me before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

i tried the vol up + power only one time until it vibrates 3 times for the first time and its off, but when i plugged the charger its continues on bootloop cycles thus battery not filling up.
i guess im gonna try until another vibration and see what happen.
and thank you for the link, im gonna give it a try too later, im not home right now, cheers.

Maybe you should try it while plugged in also.

yes, im using flashtool, but when i plug the phone in fastboot mode, flashtool doesnt detect the phone because phone died, no battery.
if i plug the phone in fastboot (hold vol down & plug the usb) will it charge?

It won't probably charge in fastboot/flashmode.
But it's very strange that the PC won't detect your phone when trying to enter flashmode.
Because, as I said earlier, I was able to get Z2 into flashmode without any power (battery taken out).
There should be some change in device manager when you connect the device.
Are you sure all the drivers are installed on your PC?
