Hi.
My friends Z5 Premium has bricked/turned into a potatoe.
It is not turning on, cant enter recovery and no screen. It was working fine in morning but then suddenly just died.
Any information/help would be great.
Thanks
If the reset button (inside SIM slot) does nothing and it does not charge, is Dead. Take it to repairing as it must be under warranty

yep. i have to send it by post to Sony as apparently they only got 1 store in UK which does phones.
Will take my 5-7days.
Bad luck Hope you get it back soon!

I've had success reviving very dead Xperias by using the hardware button reboot combo to toss them into fastboot or download modes - hold power and volume up and it should vibrate three times. It'll charge even without an OS. If that doesn't work it's certainly a hardware issue.

If your friend got it at a brick&mortar store, it should be returned there for a new one. UK & EU law.

You need to drain the battery down to 0% firstly, than while its off charge it for 4 hours without using it at all, phone calls if needed but preferred not to. just do what i did and drain it till night and charge it till morning, good as new!

Hi,
i just received my note II yesterday and started to use it normally but after around 2 hours using it the screen got frozen and the device was not responding, tried to press the power bottom but with no luck, removed the battery and tried again it worked, i thought it might be a little hang, so i went to sleep but when i woke up i faced the same issue again but now phone do not want to start up now
i tried everything: starting in recovery mode, removing the SIM card and memory, nothing changed.
note:
- last night i charged the phone with my Note I charger.
- when i woke up i found the LED is lighting green.
- when i press the power key i got a red blinking LED beside the front camera.
- the shop i bought the phone from cut me the SIM card to be USIM.
Appreciate your URGENT support
Hum just use the warranty cause if you didn't root it and it does that chance are that you've got a bad phone...

Go in recovery and do a data factory reset, wipe cache and reboot. That might help

Wait a sec did I read it rite... why would you charge the note 2 with 1amp used for the note when sammy boy changed the adapter to 2amp and also red blinking indicates low battery hmm have you tried using a another battery like i don't know to a center and try it out
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I charge my note 2 with 1amp charger at work. The 2amp is at home.
Never had any problems.

Of course have warranty! When you get a new phone, it comes with a warranty. That's not something that you must buy separately from the shop.

Shouldn't be too hard taking the phone back and getting it replaced assuming you actually bought it from a shop!

Hello every1
This new post have the intention to bring all the N7100 with this issue right now here and if anyone have a way to unbrick it post it.
These days a friend came with hes Note 2 off, when i decided to check it i can only see a litle red led near the camera and the proximity sensor, i thought it was software so i decided to use my JIG to put it in download, no response from cellphone.
Just after thar triyed to get it on recovery and no answer from phone...
Google told me that this is a common issue, it is just the same thing like many S3 were gettin dead. Software error.....
Triyed to find any place that use JTAG on that model but had no luck.
Any idea? The worst thing of this is that there's no warranty to leave the phone.
Any one here just got the way to fullyunbrick it?
This cellohone was on 4.1.2 original ROM for international model.
Thanks in advance

Hi there, i just got myself a Note 3 Neo (SM-N7505), but there is something strange when i connect it to the PC. Nothing happens... downloaded Kies, and everything, but as i connect the USB cable, there is only charging on the phone, no option to select USB mode... nothing... just charging.
I'm new on Touchwiz, and Samsung in general, so all help is appreciated.
Thanks.
And have a nice day.
Just download usb drivers for note neo

Maybe I wasn't clear in my question, I downloaded all recommended software to establish connection. Drivers are up to date. The funny part is on the phones' side. There are no USB options on my phone, just plain charging.
As I said I'm new to Samsung, not to Android.
Did you try different usb ports?

Yupp, tried multiple cables with different PCs, same result. I think i'm gonna send it back for repairs, i believe it may be a hardware problem.
Yeah seems to be a hardware issue.. keep us posted..

Thank you for all the replies.
The story so far: the phone is in transit for diagnostics and eventual repairs in service. I'll see what's wrong with it.
Honestly i'm a bit anxious, because the services here in Romania often just throw a factory reset, and they call it a day. I hope that it wont be the case this time.
Off topic: I quite like this device. Got used to it in a few days (despite it's large size). And tho there are a lot of negative vibes regarding this phone, I honestly think it feels and acts as a high end phone. Yea.. the pricing.... i got mine for about $410, when the Note 3 costs around $600. So there is still a great price diff. at least in Romania. (the phone was "resealed" but in new condition, with a price drop of about 15% at a big online store)
Maybe this hardware issue is inherited from this "re-sealing" of a faulty product? I don't know. Anyhow i have 24 months warranty so i'm not concerned.
You bought the resealed version for 400$ you mean?

Yupp. But it was in brand spanking new condition, it even had the plastic on the screen and camera lens.
Hmm.. brand new Note 3 Neos' are available in India for that price..

Okay it seems that it was a hardware issue. The phone was repaired, and it's been shipped back home.

Yesterday my phone started restarting by itself and now is dead and wont power on... Everyone now and then i can remove battery and sim and put back in and it comes on for a couple seconds but then turns right back off.. Is there anything i can do to fix it? T-mobile is sending me a new battery , hopefully that fixes it ! thx
I think about bootloop issue. What about your s/n?

I think it's more of a software issue than battery... I'm sorry but I can't help you with that. You need to contact someone with more knowledge or send the phone to repair

I have an h815p too. Mine is fine but a colleagues on did this on Thursday as well.. For no reason just rebooted itself and if you remove battery and switch on again then it shows the LG logo for about 5 to 10 sec then dies. My first guess is will have to flash. Maybe cause by bad downloaded ota?
