I have a Sony T3. There's no big deal before, until my T3 got dipped into the water. I have dried and already soak it in rice for 2 days. It was then unable to boot. Tried to charge it, but the LED won't turn on. Finally got it to start up when i connected it to the charger, but got stuck on bootloop on the sony screen and back dead.
What should I do? Should I factory reset it? Or is it probably a hardware issue?

So I restarted my Moto 360 this morning, and now it's stuck on a boot loop showing the M logo for about 2 seconds, and restarting itself.
Nothing unusual was done to the watch, I just decided to give it a reboot.
Is there any way I can recover from this? I tried putting it on the charger but it does the same thing.
If the charger doesn't reset it, then let it reboot itself to death overnight or longer, then try putting it back on the charger.
If it gets really hot put it face down on a metal surface to keep it cool while it drains itself
So puted my m5 in the water and the phone worked perfect but after 2 days when i tryed to charge it,phone started to show sony xperia screen and screen went black after couple seconds same thing happend it went like the in the loops few times and i unpluged charger from phone.I waited one day i didn't touched it and then i decided to put it on the charger and then started again to charge normal but after one day when i tried to charge my phone again it showed sony xperia and then again screen got black and it went in the loops.Can i fix it somehow or should i go to repair service to fix it?

Try putting it in rice for a day or two
Good morning all,
I bought a used 5x on eBay which was sole as spares because it had a red charging light, wouldn't turn on and when it did it froze.
Sounds like the dreaded bootloop of death. Awesome, easy fix. £18 and it was mine.
I got the phone and stuck it on to charge, low and behold, red light. Ok, removed the motherboard, in to the oven for a bit.... stick it back in and it powers up enough for me to boot it and allow oem unlock. Brilliant.
But then, it stayed on... for hours, 14 in fact, working perfectly. Then as soon as I plugged the charger in it just stopped working, it became unresponsive, not even a hard reset did anything, no red light, nothing.....
So I repeated the motherboard in the oven and woop woop, it fired up again, no issue.
This time I flashed the latest Oreo build, and the 4 core boot.img on the BLOD thread and it stayed on again, for almost 24 hours. Then it needed a charge so I plugged the charger in and it just froze again....
I'm wondering if there is an issue with the battery, or with the charging port, any thoughts? Or questions?
Thanks guys
did you mean pull yhe plastic body on back, remove the screws ,pullthe joints of camera,speaker and other..then pull another hardware surface..and then i find the whole motherboard and just put it into oven??
Qualcomm's Power IC is dead
Whilst hiking, we had to wade our way through a body of hip-level still freshwater. in my oblivion, I forgot to remove my phone from my pocket. As soon as I realized that my phone was immersed, I took it out of the water immediately and shut it down.
After returning home (~8 hours later), I placed the phone in silica gel for 12 hours and tried to boot the phone. It booted till the mid-boot PIN prompt. However, the touch didn't work. Seeing this, I shut the phone down again and placed it in silica for another 8 hours. The next time I booted the phone, I could use the touch to enter the PIN, but the boot seemed to abruptly stop during the boot animation and restart.
I approached an authorized service center in my city and asked them to diagnose the problem. After no more than 5 minutes, I was told that my motherboard was damaged and that it had to be replaced with a new one.
Is there any chance or recovering my phone? It's in top-notch shape since it's been just more than one year since I've bought it.
Not rooted, no unlocked bootloader. Simply stock firmware.
Is there any hope for my phone?

Leave it in silica gel for longer?
I dropped mine in the sink a couple of months ago, but I was lucky. I didn't even bother turning it off, I just plugged in my hot air gun and let it blast the phone for 1 hour. At first the jack and the USB ports weren't working but they were fine after the hot treatment. I was lucky

Sure thing. What if it doesn't work, though? I've voided my warranty anyways, so I can play around with the software; what do I have to lose? The thing is, my phone is COMPLETELY stock - A locked bootloader, and a mid-boot pin. I'm currently downloading the software required for the mega unbrick guide and I've got universal ADB installed. Also, I can reboot into recovery.
Hope this helps.

Water damage will not corrupt the software. It is the hardware (mostly contacts) that is damaged. You can dismantle the phone and clean it with cleaning agents for electronics. Dry it for a day, then assemble and then try to boot. The various contacts are important. Clean them with extra care.
Z5 Premium not turning on
hello everyone,
PLEASE HELP ME!
My z5 premium was working fine.. battery was charged too, and suddenly it turned off, and it didn't turn on back again. I've tried all the different ways and solutions that should turn it back on:
hard reset didn't work
2 minutes hard reset didn't work
hard reset button didn't work
plugged it in using it's OEM charger and usb cable didn't work either and LED didn't lit up
plugged it in to the computer nothing happened, wasn't detected with no sign of life
I had to take off it's battery cover (using professional tools) unplugged the battery, connected the phone to the charger while the battery is unplugged, and nothing happened reconnected the battery back, and plugged the phone again to it's wall charger, and no sign of life.
i left it there all night long since the afternoon. and when i came back in the next morning to check if the phone is charging and the LED is lit up, but again NO SIGN OF LIFE!
(BTW, the phone is in mint condition and it was never been disassembled or repaired)
Please if anyone have an idea what this could be?
if anyone has encountered the same problem and went through the same of what I've been, and was able to repair it or find a solution PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Now, I'm thinking of 2 things: either the battery is completely dead(damaged) or it's the mainboard which I don't hope to be.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS!
Now, forget about any sort of software repair, as I explained above, the phone didn't succeed in that.
So, any help or suggestion would be so much appreciated.
Thank you all for taking time in reading and participating in this topic.
Have a good day.

Not happy reading this thread. Why so many issues with Sony Android... Anyway;;
- I recently had the same issue - or an issue in the same ball park. Phone Just died and refused to charge, but would show a red LED and try to boot when plugged in.
- Sent it to Sony, Hoping it is only a dead battery
The OP sounds like a they have a USB port issue or a board issue, also OP phone will no longer waterproof after removal of cover.
Unclear as to whether you have tried the following;
- Turn on whist holding camera button instead of Volume up/down. it is worth a try
- Try to grab an official sony charging cable- basically impossible to buy nowadays, maybe a PS4 controller cable? try it
My stock unrooted Z5p died like this in April. Have the same issue as the OP and tried all the same solutions. My Z5p had only been used indoors for months with WiFi before sudden death. Replacing the charging port did nothing. Using the OEM cable and charger with a new battery gets a 2 sec red light when connected to power and starts booting up until the swirls (gets past Sony Xperia and powered by android screens). Then the screen goes dark and shows the big battery for a couple of seconds.
I didn't realize there was a sudden death problem with Sony phones until I started trying to fix this. What's even crazier is that I had (have) the Xperia Z, Z Ultra, and the Z2. The Z2 was used in the rain constantly and even survived an ejection from a handlebar mount at 15mph onto asphalt. (All these phones were rooted and using custom ROMs/kernels.) Seems like Sony has a serious QC issue they're not taking about.
