Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and haven't rooted or installed custom roms before, but maybe you can halp me with my problem.
The other day i was on my way to work, at home my phone was working just fine, but when i arrived, it was dead.
I put the phone on charge for the rest of the day, but nothing happened, only a dim flashing red light. Tried to reset in all possible ways.
I charged it with a usb power meter and it draws only about 20mA intermittently...
When connected with the sony bridge for mac software the phone isn't recognised at al. I tried pc companion in windows XP (in bootcamp).
and then the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.
I don't want to sent the phone out for repair, because there are a lot of pictures and other private documents on the phone and i can't erase the phone myself. Who knows what happens when the phone is repaired.....
Is there a way to get the phone back to live without erasing?
Thank you very much

open the sim card slot you will find a small red button (Reset button) there next to the sim press it until you feel 3 vibrations then don't turn on your phone charge it until full then turn it on if it didn't then again press the reset button and don't turn it on , go to pc companion>support zone>software update>repair my phone . and this will be your only hope and i'm afraid you will lose all data on internal storage

Hey
My phone stopped working.
A few weeks ago it suddenly didnt turn on anymore
The evening before i put it in charge coz it only had 6% left.
The next morning it didnt do anything
no led light, didnt turn on.
When i try to boot fastboot mode, the light doesnt turn on. when i put it in charger, the light doesnt turn on, my computer doesnt recognize it.
i tought lost case, its dead.
but this morning i tried to turn it on one time, it didnt work. i put it on my desk. i accidently wiped the phone off my desk, it turned on.
It showed Sony Ericsson logo, as im used to, the screen lights up very bright for a second, normaly the key lights and the led should turn on, that didnt happen.
then it went to a black screen, and turned off after a few seconds.
after that it didnt turn on anymore
Maybe the worst part: coz my father is going to buy an iPhone 5, he wants to give me his 4
is there anything i can do? I no longer have warranty.
Have you tried removing the battery, pressing power, then letting it charge for a couple of minutes, and then try to turn it on? Maybe it's really completely empty.
You had anything custom in there?
Did you use the original charger?
As I can understand, phone does not go into flashmode (while turned off, back button and connect USB cable) or fastboot mode (same thing but menu button)?

Repair the firmware with PC Companion, or if you wish to take the advanced way - Flashtool.
Well this is my situation:
I bought a broken screen and broken digitalizer HTC Desire EYE with AT&T stock rom 4.4.4 lolipop
While waiting for the screen + digitalizer replacement, i decided to try ADB commands to remotelly access the cell from the PC.
When first time i turned ON the cell, it worked ok, all sounds of android OS could be heard and worked ok, and even HTC Sync showd up and i could even access the internal and external memory of the phone.
Then i tried to boot into fastboot with low battery levels, i rebooted in fastboot and my PC detected the drivers for such...
then since i was on blind cause the screen was broken, i clicked on I was supposing was recover (i needed to enter on recovery so i could run an ADB commands to activate USB debugging from recovery, so i also later have access to remote screen of the phone from the PC)
So, i clicked on blind thinking i was on recovery and after that the phone didnt charge any longer the battery or turned ON.... i connected the phone to the wall charger and not even the RED LED light of the battery turns ON anymore.
I tried all the options: 1) volume +, power
2) volume +, volume -, power
3) volume -, power (for over 20 secs) and nothing, im like lost here?
I also tried plugging the USB to the PC and that doesnt even work, nor the PC do any sound when a new device is connected, so its like the phone is completely dead.... any help is more than welcome
come on, no one? damn, im blind while waiting for the freaking chinnese screen replacemente... since i cant do crap... i started a wall charger for 4 days, lets see if this turns on at least the red light, which by the moment it doesnt... will keep updating this thread regarding the status and situation in the couple of days.
i'm having the same problem right now with my HTC desire and i just bought it in July brand new from AT&T. I was wondering if it ever turned back on for you?

Was kind of in the same boat as you. Bought my EYE with a broken digitizer.. upon receiving it I found out that the phone wouldn't charge or turn on.. I had to replace the battery myself and now it works like a charm.!

Check for dust or other dirt in your charging port, then use a toothpick to get it out, this fixed it for me.
Bumping because I have a similar issue and don't want to make a new thread.
My screen is fine, but the LED is off, plugging it in does nothing, and it wont turn on. Worked fine last night, it was in low power mode (on CM 14), I shut it off and plugged it in. Now, the next day, it's dead.
It started yesterday with me trying to charge my phone in the car getting only 10% every hour. Eventually, My battery died that day and then again refused to charge with my normal sony charger or a friend's Samsung charger. It didn't connect to my laptop as well. I have done a factory reset. I've gone into safe mode. Still, hasn't charged. The only way I can charge my phone now is when I switch it off and then hold the volume up and power button till a blue notification light which I think is force charging it. I got it to 100% yesterday, everything works just fine it's just I'm not able to connect my phone to my laptop to reset or fix the software. I'm not able to charge the phone while its on.
I hope I don't need to take this to the service center to get fixed, cause service here where I stay is unbearable.
Hope one of you guys have a solution for me!

Hi, you really need to be a bit more descriptive if you want someone to help
What is your setup? Unlocked? Rooted? MM or LP? Stock or Customized, etc...

I dont think it's the battery or it wouldn't charge in any condition but anyway if you're pure stock try with PC Companion, it might not be charging but it's recognized right?

Mmmh, that sonds more like a port issue... Something happened to the usb connector on the phone itself? It's certainly and odd behaviour. Not having a conncetion to your handset restricts your options unfortunately. Just to be sure you've tried on another PC so you may want to do a SW reset as the only possibility other than taking it in to Sony Service. Who knows, with a bit a luck a full reset will resolve your problem
Did you manage to find out how to fix. I'm having the exact same problem
Three months back i faced same problem. I pressed the back of my phone where the NFC sign N and then press the middle of the phone. After that insert the cable and my phone started scharging. Secondly insert charging cable with sony adpoter and start pressing back side of your mobile on different location. I hope it will work.
Thanks for the tip. I tried and it did not work tho
Maybe the slow charge setting is on? Try disabling all features (auto adjust brightness etc)
Just for giggles try to set to ultra power save mode and see if it fixes it.
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

Okay, let me see if I can get it to connect to the computer, and then I'll let you know if I have progress.
I have the same slow charging problem on my xperia xa1 ultra. you could solve it?
Hi All,
While using my G7 Thinq, screen froze & none of the buttons were responding. To reboot the phone, I pressed volume down & power button & G7 switched off. However, while trying to restart, the phone isn't responding anymore. I've tried volume down + Power button, Volume up + Power button, but the phone isn't turning on. I've tried to charge the phone & tried to restart it, but there is no response. Even with the charger on, the phone isn't showing any signs (no activity on screen, no vibration).
I've searched online, there was someone who faced similar issue with his G7. In his case, he was unable to switch off the phone. His battery got discharged in few hours & he was able to recharge the phone & use it. In my case, since phone is switched off, battery may not get discharged for a very long time.
1. Is there a way to completely discharge the battery quickly in switched off mode?
2. Is there a way to reboot the phone?
3. Is there a way to retrieve the data stored on in-built memory?
Before taking the phone to service center, i want to try out whatever i can to save the data. In case service station guys solve the issue, they will surely wipe out the data from phone.
Pls help me
Thanks,
Ankit Jain
Without the phone being on to get the data that requires jtag, but that might be a little out of your league and you will lose warranty.
Try connecting the phone to a computer and see if the pc picks up your phone in a certain mode.
Usually black screen and no sign of power is 9008 mode which its on, but it is stuck and wont switch off

Hi,
I've tried connecting the phone with PC. Its not getting detected. Is there a way around this 9008 mode? My phone is presently out of warranty. I've searched online & haven't heard of many cases like mine. I don't know if this is a manufacturing defect & I should take it up with LG.
I'me pretty much concerned about the data on the internal memory of the phone. In case phone needs to be reflashed, i'm thinking of using a data recovery software to get the data back.
Hi All,
I have taken my phone to LG service. As per them, its processor is gone. All they can do is change the processor, or rather entire motherboard. All data will with it. Moreover, repair cost is more than the new phone itself. I'm pretty disappointed with LG. I don't think I'll buy an LG product in future.
