[Q] Overheating problem - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

a few days ago, I installed the CM9.1 v6 from scritch's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987130
at first, i used the kernel v5 and it was working fine. 3 days ago, i downloaded and flashed the v6 kernel. 2 days ago, I left my phone charging at 47% for an hour or so, when i came back, i saw a black screen and the screen as well as battery was extremely hot(around 35-40 degrees). I tried switching it on but it showed only the kernel logo 'X10 never dies' and then again black screen after flashing blue led 3 times. I waited for 5 minutes. again it got extremely hot. I pulled out the battery and kept it aside for 5 minutes to cool down. after that i tried several times to switch it on but every time i got the same problem and i had to remove the battery to cool it down. at night, i kept the battery out from the phone only. I thought it would work in the morning. But yesterday morning I couldn't even switch it on. I connected it to the charger(an original SE charger with original USB cable). After connecting to the charger also, it heated up instantly but there was no display on the screen and it wasn't charging. I have been trying to charge it since yesterday(using charger and connecting with pc also) but it gets EXTREMELY HOT every time without charging or switching on. Please help me!
What should I do???

the phone is neither switching on nor charging.....I cannot connect it to computer also.....I cant put it in flash mode for connecting to flashtool....nothing is happening except it starts heating gradually after connecting to charger.....((

Tips to connect your phone in flashmode if there is no green light when you are trying to connect it to flashtool:
1. Press back button while plugging it into your computer USB port.
2. Do not release back button and press power button once while you are pressing back button.
3. Green LED light should appear.
4. Release back button when your phone is detected in flashtool.
(MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED)

I charged the battery fully using an external battery charger. When i connect it to flashtool, the green led glows but as soon as i select the file to flash, the led comes off and it starts heating again. I tried using Sony Update Service also to repair it, but as I click on next after connecting it, the same happens, green led goes off and it starts heating up.

Please SOMEBODY help me!!!!
I downloaded the Stock firmware from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749426
I downloaded the India Generic Kit 1237-0692. I tried flashing it through flashtool but between 14-15%, the flash mode just goes off and the phone gets disconnected. Now, the condition is worse than before. Earlier, I was able to switch the phone on and see the 'Xperia Never Dies' screen from scritch's kernel. But now, nothing is there. Everytime I try to flash generic firmware either thru flashtool or SEUS, the green led goes off and it gets disconnected.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME FIX MY PHONE. I HAVE NO OTHER PHONE TO USE.

I dont really understand what your problem is

You should select the FTF file first then you can connect your phone when the flashtool ask you to connect your phone...
your steps are wrong... the same thing goes to me too when i connect the phone before i select my desired firmware file...
please attach your flashtool log

Here are some suggestions my friends note had a similar problem:
1.Try using a new battery maybe the battery fails as it spoilt and can't handle strain(my friend had this problem)
2.Since your phone won't do anything u can try go to a store and say I don't know what happened and ask for help
3.Did you try entering recovery and flashing a Rom or nandroid backup. Your question is not very clear.
Please let us all know what u did to solve the issue.

[Q] What does three red led blinks mean?

Hi all.
My phone seems to be broken. It's almost completely dead. When I press the power button the led blinks red three times. When I connect it to power it blinks red once every other second. Anyone knows what this red blinking means? I'm sure it's a code for something...
I've tried removing sd and sim and also disconnecting and connecting the battery cable with no result. Anything else I could try or is it just a matter of sending it away and being without phone for some weeks?
/Daniel
Battery is completly drained. Charge it about half an hour and should work.
Yeah, I've been pretty scared too when this happened for first time to me. It is really weird behavior. Atleast it is working again.

Yep, you're right. 20 minutes and the phone came alive.
Is it just me or did they completely miss this out in the manual? Could have been worth mentioning if you ask me...
/Daniel
i've had this too... is it ok to charge via a PC or does it have to be directly from the charger?

HELP
my phone can´t charge anyway.... i let it charging in the wall during all the morning and "nothing"... even a minimum led light...
so i connected to the usb in my pc and the led started blinking once in each three seconds...
blink + 1 + 2 + 3sec AND REPEAT
so... i let it in usb for maybe 40 minuts... and.... nothing again... nothing changed and the led continuous to blink at the same way.
so, i tried to plug again in the wall, and no led light, but suddently led blinked this way:
blink / blink / blink + 1 + 2sec and repeat three times so stops, no more lights, and it happend again if i tryied to power on the phone...
and now, nothing happens.... no lights... even i fi try to power on, even if i plug in the wall...
mini pro is dead.
i don´t know what to do
tried pressing home + power buttons for minuts and nothing
tried pressing back button for minuts and nothing
tried to connect to PC companium and nothing, no phone connected
tried using SEUS but it can´t connect to the phone as it has no battery charge
any ideas.... please?
and let me know... is this any issue from the ROM? i just installed CM7Mini V7... it´s the first time i had the battery drained... so i ask... if there is a way to awake my mini, will the same issue happen again ????? I can´t forget the battery draining?????
HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP
3 blinks mean not enough battery energy to boot. Maybe your USB port is just brocken...
Try using FlashTool to flash a stock ROM to see if it works, because with SEUS first you have to connect your phone to be recognised and afteerwards updated or repaired. Maybe FlashTool is the solution...
I have made a post with instructions and links to flash with FlashTool. Just search for
2.1.1.A.0.6 GREEK .ftf
Another possible solution is what guys have mentioned above... To let it charge while it seem dead and it'll be alive in some minutes.

My x10 is stone dead

Hi [After many tries and errors i finally updated with seus and the problem was solved, thanks to all for helping]
i know there are loads of threads up about the X10 being dead but i dont find those problems and solutions any good for my problem so here it is.
I started getting weird boot loops, and the phone started and shut down by itself. Now it wont charge, and it wont turn on.
Things ive already tried:
Tried taking out the battery + sim and sd card, holding the power button for 5sec and then re inserting the battery. ( didnt work )
Tried connecting it to the computer so i could update with pcc ( didnt work )
Tried holding the <-------- button while connecting to computer, ( didnt work )
Tried leaving the battery for a couple of days so it would get low and then trying to charge it ( didnt work )
Tried charging the phone without the battery plugged in ( the green light went on for a while then stoped. :S )
so right now, it wont turn on, it wont charge. What can i do ?

You can also charge your battery with external charger or put it in some another phone and charge it.
After its charged, flash stock firmware using flashtool or use pc companion or seus to go to 2.3.3
Similar problem, no solution thus far
I have a similar problem as the OP, but nothing suggested has worked, my situation a bit more unique (or dire depending on how you look at it).
My phone was working fine about a week and half ago, it had been hanging a lot if I remember correctly and I had to flash a few times the last couple of months. I had just done a flash and the phone was working perfectly so I left it on my desk a couple of days maybe. When I got back to it it would not turn on or charge. I tried everything I'd learned, taking the batter out and leaving it for a bit, leaving it charging for a whole day. No matter what I did I could not get it charged or recognized in USB. I bough a new battery and it arrived today, left it charging for a couple of hours, but nothing's changed. I would hate to have to buy a new phone if there is a possibly simple solution. Anyone?
No LED's whatsoever, the phone is just stone cold non-responsive. Thanks in advance.

AW: My x10 is stone dead
Take an old micro usb ,, cut it ,, you will see 4 cables
Green and white for data (pc connection)
And red +
And black or grey -
Take only red + and black -
Then take the battery out of the phone connect the cables plus + go to plus +
And minus - goto minus - ( you can orientate by the battery
Then put battery in with cables connected do you understand?
My english is not so good xD
My mother have the same problem
The phone is only charging this way :/

[Q] My ZU wont switch on. Red LED

This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(

Nothing. Its like as if the phone soft bricked itself, probably by auto updating or something

Have you tried the reset button under the microsd flap? Press and hold for 3 secs.
I did read another user had an issue where the screen blanked for around a day, he left it plugged in and came back to it about 6 hours later and it was fine again.

I tried that and basically all the other normal options. No use. The computer recognises it as a USB Input Device and for a second or two, the red LED comes up. Same thing when I am charging

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?

Sorry brimbi i can't help you any further than this, i'm not experienced in this field and only started a couple of days ago, this guide explains about soft & hard resets as well as brick symptoms, i hope it helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
If you're using cm11 you should be able to boot into recover right?
This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.

It seems XSola has issue with this. My previous phone which is Xsola did suffer from this issue multiple times though. On my ex-XU (too) never had this problem and in my current XP i've had once.

clear cache from recovery and try again
It needs some time to reach optimum charge percentage for boot. Maybe you already figured that out. Well, good luck.

better visit service centre
1. First Charge your device to optimum level (50% Minimum).
2. Then Press Vol Down and Hold it, now without releasing it, press and hold Power button too.
3. Now release both the keys.
4. You will enter into fastboot screen.
5. Now you have to connect to PC.
6. Select Recovery.
7. Now motorola logo will be shown, press and hold vol up for 15 seconds and after 15 seconds press Power once.
8. Now you will enter recovery mode, now you can release Vol up key.
9. Now select Factory Reset.
10. After reboot, your device will work without any problem.
I just solved the same problem to my friend's phone!!
Ignore the stupid comments.

Just try to understand what the actual problem is, and stop posting stupid stuff. This has nothing to do with clearing cache, and recovery. How stupid are you people?
Anyway, it just a problem of over discharged battery when the battery drops below the 3.8Volts, which is the minimum voltage. When the battery reaches less than 0%, the phone will not allow it to turn on, as it is harmful for the battery and it might burst. So for security reasons, the phone stops the battery from charging. I faced the same problem many times. Try jump starting the battery anyway, or consider replacing the battery. Go to a electrician , and them him what the problem is. He will fix it. It is advisable, to never let the battery fall below 10 %. Below 0 % , the internal resistance of the battery increases, and sometimes, a direct DC charge , which is above 3.8 V , might bring the battery up to 0 %. This is a very difficult thing to fix.
I am facing the same problem too on my moto g 4 plus after using my power bank(power ace) I used it continuously for 3hours yesterday and i kept charging full night but morning i saw just 54%. In the evening again i used power bank for 3 hours. I didn't find what is the solution!! I charged it for few hours but it is not crossing 15%. I am scare about how to deal. I request the experts to help us.

Don't use moto charger, use any other charger for now
you solved this problem ? here is same problem
This happend with me once, I just let my phone keep charging overnight and it worked the next day, this has nothing to do with cache and recovery, your battery is discharged way too low, it might take 2-3 hours to charge 1 percent
