Is it possible, because as i said it works for short time without any cable, but stuck on SE logo.
I know i can play without touch, wrong question - my bad.
Can I run game, walking in menu without touch, using pad buttons?

Try to flash stock firmware with flashtool . Make sure you have drivers installed (from flashtool folder). If you have drivers installed but it still not recognized by flashtool, look in device manager and see what is written under "unknown device".
Phone can be used without touch screen (my Play had broken flex slider cable for more then a month). Navigation in launcher is with dpad, X is confirm, O is back. There is app in play store called "open notification" that I used to see notification, also, app "hard key soft keyboard" to type with dpads.
To be able to answer call, I used xposed framework for GB, with plugin to change home or search key for answering calls
As for games, it is per game. PSXperia games don't need touch screen (and I was playing mostly that while my touch screen was broken)

Generally, Flashtool doesn't see my phone but there is one weird thing with that i think, i will write that later when, i will back home.
My device is always Unknown Device for Windows. With battery, without it, with back key, search key. Always Unknown device, and red light blinking continously.
And what do you mean "look in device manager and see what is written under "unknown device"."?

On PC, right-click on "my computer" and select "manage". Then on on left side select "device manager". Unknown devices is marked with yellow icon with exclamation mark.
For drivers, look in c:/flashtool/drivers folder (or whatever path you have it installed).
Red led is most likely empty battery, but too much reasons for that without proper troubleshooting (bad charger, bad USB cable, bad battery, bad charging circuit on battery, bad charging circuit in phone, damaged USB port or even short-circuit on motherboard). But it could also means damaged boot loader, and that's why I asked what is written in "unknown device" (it will be something like QHSUSB-something)

There is some progress i think, and maybe degress(?) . I left phone with charger for all night. At the morning for my surprise there is green light. I tried power on, and its work. Almost. Touchscreen is didn't working. But thats nothing. When I unplugged from charger it switch off. Now I can power on it with charger or USB Cable, but without it it's stack on SE logo.
I was think thats battery issue, but it isn't. I pluuged phone directly to USB 5V(Red- "+", Black - "-") without battery of course. Same thing, stack on SE logo.
What can I do next? Can I do anything with that?
EDIT I tried flash stock rom via Flashtool, and nothing. Flashmode and fastboot are working.

Hello everyone,
having major USB issues on my GNex. It's not charging anymore, but when the phone is off, it displays a charging animation. I could get it to charge once since this occurred, I left it plugged in overnight on my Mac (phone turned off). Did the same thing last night, no charge at all.
Mac OSX does not recognize the device, my Windows machine keeps telling me something like "the connected device is not working properly and can't be used... ". This message pops up every few seconds, so I guess it's constantly connecting and disconnecting. I can't access the internal storage on both systems.
My first guess was a hardware defect. But when I try to boot into recovery mode, a screen instantly pops up that shows Andy and displays a message: "Downloading. Do not turn off target.". In the upper left corner it displays " ODIN MODE" in small red letters.
When I press the power button in this screen (there is a big arrow pointing to the button with "start" written in it) the phone just normally reboots.
I can't get into fastboot mode because of this. I can get into CWM Recovery when i use the reboot into recovery option built in the ROM.
I dunno much about Odin (next to nothing). Has it something to do with Samsungs Kies? Could it be that something has put my phone in this "ODIN MODE" and it constantly tries to download something, making the USB port unusable? The port is not completely broken, as the phone displays a charging animation when it's turned off... so there is some connectivity left!
Thoughts coming up that this could be some kind of software issue. If there is a possibility to get out of the Odin Mode, it may solve the problem.
The phone is unlocked and rooted, running AOKP Milestone 5 and franco kernel.
I tried to restore an older nandroid, but it did not change anything.
Would send it in for exchange, but not able to relock the bootloader due to no fastboot access. If it can be confirmed that this is a hardware problem, I have to pay for the repair, I'm fine with that.
Has anybody any ideas that could be helpful? Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!
Do a search and you will find at least 30 helpful threads. Basically you only need to replace your USB charging board and it works again. Should be a warranty issue, but Samsung has really been an ass on handling this issue lately and claiming water damage.
I have mentioned it many times here: this problem can be probably solved by thoroughly cleaning your USB with soft toothbrush.
True, I also cleaned my port but it only fixed it temporarily.
Thanks guys. Tried to clean the port, nothing changed.
Ordered an OEM charging board off ebay, hope changing it will fix the issue.
Only thing I'm wondering about is, that the phone is stuck in Odin Mode when I boot it up with Vol. - and the Power Switch. So I downloaded Odin but it does not recognize the phone...
I am also facing the same problem. I am currently using the phone by charging the battery externally. Can someone confirm that changing the USB flex cable is the solution ?
Just posted in another thread but it is definitely the USB port for me. Using an HTC Vision (Google g2)
Hi,
I want drivers for xperia s, plz any body provide the link, also when i connect to chrage the red led, start diming whats the problem?
thx
If the led starts dimming it's not the driver problem.
Windows 7 will auto detect and install drivers for you, what's the problem?

Did you try another microUSB cable?
And does it starts dimming on wall charger?
cell didn't on at all when connected just red led dimming, whats the problem?

You can try to connect it to wall charger and leave it for a few hours, battery could be completely drained. I'm not sure why it's dimming, it never occurred on my Xperia S.
Is the bootloader locked? Did you try flashing fw with flashtool?
Windows 7 should automatically install 3 necessary drivers for the xperia S. 2 are auto installed when you first plug the phone in BEFORE you get the prompt to install PC companion (if you have that enabled in the phone). The 3rd auto-installs when you put the phone into flash mode (phone off, volume down held while plugging in the usb cord).
If you are having problems related to these drivers...head to device manager with the phone plugged in, look for 'portable devices' and uninstall the device and quickly unplug the phone. The next time you plug it in, windows should start the installation process over again. Do this before having flashtool running, or even installed for that matter (if you haven't yet)...
like anything windows though...your results may vary. I've done this on 2 different windows 7 machines...one at home, and one at my office. My home computer calls the flash mode driver 'SEMC Flash Driver' or something...my work machine calls it 'S1Boot Driver'...i've never seen these flipped, as in, never got the S1Boot driver at home or vice versa...yet flash tool works regularly on both, AS LONG AS PC companion isn't running...that screwed me up more times than i can count.
anyway though...after that, make sure PC companion is not running...and install flashtool and its driver package (might as well do all of them, the names are a bit confusing as you'll see the detailed installation list containing stuff not listed in the installation prompts).
After that, reboot windows...after the restart, if you're having issues with the phone...its a pretty safe bet its not the drivers...
while doing google i found that its battery is got dis, and its hard bricked windows doesn't recognize it and its just dead

Hold the volume up key and power button for roughly 10 seconds. It should vibrate once after 2 or 3 seconds, then 3 times towards 10 seconds of holding both...after that, it should reboot...If the battery is truly dead, it may not fully boot...but will hopefully accept a charge after that...
if it doesn't work, report back...there are 50 page threads everywhere explaining how to get out of various stages of 'brickage'...
doesn't work plz share the url of thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
there are more threads in the general section. If you search 'xperia brick' or something similar, you should find multiple threads. Be sure and read through them as much as possible, as one thread often answers/mentions any number of different causes and fixes.
Hi.
Im spanish, so my english is not perfect. Sorry about that.
Well i wil explain my problem.
I have an HTC One X, which one day,recived an "cachi" of water. (Cachi is an spanish type of glass for partys, about a liter)
The phone wont start in normal mode.Only starts in fastboot(VOL- + POWER) if are plug into wall charger (if i plug into pc, wont start at all)
The screen is working, but not the led from the screen, so if i want to see if thers something into the screen i have to use a torch light.
Next problem is i wont start into recovery (displays an triangle whit an exclamation insde in red), but i can start in fastboot sometimes.
But here´s another problem, it doesen´t have battery. I check whit fastboot the battery voltage and shows 47mv, yes 47mv.
So i try to charge whit an script, but its impossible because if i try to restart into bootloader pluged into pc, dont start and only shows windows searching for drivers every 5 seconds, because i think it disconected and conected itself every 5 second, so it fails at the time of install drivers.
Any solutions.Please!!
Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,
So, I got a new Xperia XA1 Ultra (G3223) through a trade running stock Android 7.0. Checked everything and initially it looked fine.
Over the last few days, things have been acting weird. Every time I start the device, it gives me a blank (black) screen with a blinking white notification light - it doesn't even show me the boot screen at times when it boots. Just yesterday, I got it to boot by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER after being in that state - but, that's not normal. Does anyone know why in the world my phone does that?
Furthermore, when using the Sony charger that came with the device, it takes over 6 hours to charge and doesn't even show the charging sign while charging. Could this be an Android 7.0 bug or is something seriously wrong with my phone? Only one time since I got it, did I get it to charge normal with the charging sign and everything; it actually charged quite rapidly at that point.
Any help would be appreciated with this, guys, because I'm at a loss. I do want to mention that the device doesn't seem to be recognized by the computer, so I'm not even sure that the cable is original.

Try a new cable and/or charger. (I found I had a bad charger once)
Since you had computer issues, I'd start with the cable. Also check the charging port on the phone for debris/damage.

How is your phone turning on? Power button or inserting the USB cable?
Only thing I can think of is perhaps a stuck volume key placing the phone into recovery or flash mode.
Try turning on the phone with no USB cable attached. Before you turn it on, press the volume keys a few times to make sure they aren't stuck and then power on.

The thing is that it's weird.... For one, sometimes when I use the touch reset/turn off button, it takes at least two minutes to reset, or it doesn't even reset. Then, when I turn the phone on while it's off, the phone sometimes enters into this weird state with the flashing white notification light. I never power on the phone via USB cable, so I don't know, really. Yesterday, I shut the phone off to test it, plugged the phone in to charge it, it wouldn't charge while off, but then hit power on, and then it wouldn't turn on, so I used VOLUME UP + POWER, and then it turned on just fine.
Hi
Happened also to be with my older Xperia J.
Backup your phone (cause you'll lose your data), connect it to a PC (or Mac) and install Xperia companion, then select "repair phone" or something similar (I know the written in Italian version ).
Wait and it will be all fine.
Regards

Nothing helps..?
(I will post this also here, cos no one answered @ zukfans yet)
Hi! I think I need to ask help now.
I've managed to hard brick my Z2 with QFIL trying to update the phone from zui 2.something to 3.5. Well obviously that did not end up good.
My phone went to a stage described in some cases: White light blinking every 15 seconds or something and phone vibrating. Ok, I tried to shut the phone down by keeping and releasing after second blink. Did not work. Then I tried to hold for two or more minutes. It seemed to work first but suddenly also that didnt work (kept power pushed for ten minutes or more). Ok, the I made the cable described here. I did a jumper cable from my usb extension cord. Windows reacted to the phone but did not recognize it. Nothing showed up in device manager or QFIL or MiFlash. The phone keeped on vibrating and a left it like this for the night. I guess battery ran out and phone finally shutdown.
I continued and same results. One time windows recognized a unknown device for some seconds but it did not show up in device manager or MiFlash. After that nothing. Now the phone only blinks the light. It vibrates only when trying to charge it or plugged in PC. I don't now if it's on or not. Anyways, the same results with windows: reaction, but no recognition. I've tried to pull usb out and change to another slot etc.
Also I've installed Zuk 1.05 drivers, MiFlash and tried also with Qualcomm drivers. Uninstalled everything and tried again. Nothing seems to help.
Could this be because of Windows 7? Or bad extension cord? Or what...? Any advice would be appreciated.
edit: It was not Windows problem I guess. I installed fresh Windows 10 with no help. Actually worse. No Windows is not reacting at all. Maybe it's the jumper cable I created. I didn't want to ruin my only USB-C.
edit: Ok. Back to Win7. Now there is no reaction at all also in Win7. The phone vibrates when connected to pc. Otherwise phone seems to be off. No lights flashing. If power is held down white led flashes briefly but no vibration.
edit: Now if I connect the phone to laptop the led blinks every 0.5 seconds... I have no idea how turn the phone off. It seems to be off while not touched because nothing is happening...
@Pelepako
Try this,just a copy paste
2.0). Turn off the phone. If the phone boots up (reboots) then immediately to point 2.1
2.1). Put wire on the 2nd contact on the left
. And together with the wire insert into the PC (at the same time the phone is already connected by cable).
2.2). After 5-10 seconds, take out the usb plug with the wire. Remove the wire and insert the plug back.
2.2.1). If you do not have a bootlap, but it hangs on MI, on the boot process, etc. Hold the POWER button and insert the USB plug with the wire into the usb port. The screen goes out and you get what you want.
3.1). Your device in EDL mode.
3.2). Click REFRESH in Miflash and see your device in COM format.
3.3). Flash firmware at your discretion.
Thanks for the instructions.
Still nothing. Windows 10 does not recognize the phone in any way. The phone vibrates almost immediately when plugged in. Then nothing. Sometimes (before) I got Windows to recognize it as "unknown device".
2.0 Turning off the phone. I'm unpluggin the battery. I guess that does the job? At least nothing is flashing or vibrating.
2.1 I inserted a paper clip as in the picture.
Dunno if it's a driver thing. I've installed different Zuk driver version, Qualcomm, MiFlash, QFil, ADB.. you name it. I've turned on the Test Mode in Windows (driver signature). I've tried two different cables. One of them is the original. Tried the paper clip trick and the wire connect trick. Nothing is working. There has to be some flaw that I'm not noticing. Can't be the only one who really got his phone bricked...
About the drivers:
Ive installed zuk 1.05. Is it ok? Tried also 1.06 and 1.08.
How to install ADB. I've used ADB installer and installed system-wide. Should I also install the device driver (Google)?
Qualcomm drivers. Cannot manually install. With Miflash etc. some Qualcomm drivers get installed.
Do I need to install Fastboot and ADB "executables"? Where do I need these in my situation? Nowhere?
What abou QFIL? Is it necessary if I'm using MiFlash?

Ok. Just found out that the only 2.0 port is broken. There is no second pin. At least anymore. I might have broken it in some point.
Other reason for malfunctioning could be the circuit board of the phone. The previous owner in all his wisdom had glued the battery cover with super glue. As I opened it it ripped of some of those circuit materials that conduct electricity. The broken part is near the usb port of the phone. Maybe if I put the cover back it will work cos the ripped parts are still glued to the back cover..
So back to the issue.
The broken part of the phone seems to be speaker so it should not affect the connection I guess. I also fixed with conductive silver paint. Still, no help.
Just found out that the charger and probably also the cable are not original ones. Maybe this is the reason for this is not working. I cannot come up with any other solutions. Now I would need to know which usb cable would qualify for the procedure. How can tell which is a proper cable before buying it? Also does the micro-usb cable work if I have the convertor dongle (Samsung made)?
edit:
Ok. Sometimes the led blinks every 0.5 sec. Sometimes phone vibrates every fifteen or something seconds. Only way to get the computer to react is with modded usb extension cord -> green to black. This way Windows recognizes an unknown device. That's it. I cannot install Qualcomm drivers for this or do anything else. This way Windows makes this connected sound every 0.5 seconds and the phone led blinks. After a while it stops and the phone is marked as "unknown device". Also if I connect the phone to a charger it blinks all the time (0.5s) and vibrates occasionally. Then after a while the led calms down and blinks every 15 seconds. And then back to 0.5s with vibration. All these symptoms seem unclear and I haven't found anyone suffering from same kind of problems...
Really am I the first that really bricked this one? I didn't even use the phone yet. Just checked it and tried to update the system cos it was old version.
I assume that the phone has to be off after disconnecting battery cable so that should not be the problem here.
@narshi shukla
I turned the phone off by removing battery. It does not reboot after shut down before I connect it to computer. Few seconds after connecting to pc it vibrates shortly. Nothing else happens after that. Same with and without the wire.
I've tried so many different methods that I'm giving up with this I guess. Am I the only one who got his phone permanently bricked. After all I tried to flash by following instructions. The flash failed and phone went on crazy vibration and screen on for some seconds after that it was vibrating every 15 seconds. Then suddenly it stopped doing that. Now it does only if I plug it to pc or charger.
The "black green wire trick" is strange. If I only connect those two wires nothing new happens BUT if I connect green to black and black to green by tying instead only touching the phone vibrates and led blinks every 0,5 seconds and windows also makes the connection sound even though it is not working.
