Hello,
my father have Xperia Tipo Dual phone. And yesterday he did call to work and left phone on desk. After he returned back to desk he noticed phone is off. Phone didn´t say something about low battery. He tried turn it on, but nothing changed. He tried also charging battery with wall charger but no LEDs active (with battery and without). Only one thing, i can connect phone to computer with and without battery. Computer recognises phone as "ZEUS Flash device". My father have important contacts in phone. Is there way to get data back without buying new battery (I don´t know if problem is battery or not )?

So were they backed up to the sim? Also check his google account, he may have them backed up there
No they werent
Just try to turn on the phone while connected to pc, if it doesn't turn on then it's a software problem and there's probably nothing left to do other than restore your phone completely, and if it does turn on then it's a hardware problem, and most likely your battery is dead.

I already tried it but its not working. How i can restore my phone?
Download ftf for your phone and then flash it via flashtool. But remember to unmark "wipe data"
That should save the contacts

Dude if u know a little about electronics and batteries,just try hot wiring the battery to a 3.4 v D.C. Power...that should charge the battery...if u are nit sure about what you are gonna do,just don't try it...instead try a independent external battery charger...(take out battery and charge it)...
hit the thanks if I helped you,don't just say it...

Hello guys , I am having a serious problem with my Sony Xperia E , it seems to be bricked. Something went wrong , I heard it happens sometimes because of software bug or whatever , and your phone goes into this sleep mode , which won't charge at all. I mean , when I plug it in to charge , the red led lights up (once every 3-4 seconds) untill it finally starts up , but when it starts up it shutdowns since the battery is 0% and not charging. On the internet I could not find any help about Sony Xperia E and this red led error. So , if anyone knows what to do.. Please help me , I'm too lazy to take it to a service and besides I don't got money to spare for it

Hi Cezar and everyone else (this is my first post),
I had the exact same problem and i was sure i bricked my phone beyond repair but there is a way to fix it. So my first thought was to externaly charge my battery but you can't do that, so i came up with a way. You will need to strip one end of the USB cable and separate the black and the red wire. The red wire is positive and the black is negative. Put the two wires between the battery and the positive and negative sockets in your phone (like shown in the pictures [attached]). And now your phone will be charging .
And do not forget, red is the postive, black the negative!
I hope this solves your problem!
P.S. Don't mind the black box, I built it just so i can use it for projects to have a power source, it's just a switch and a LED

Hello,
I was in the exact same situation yesterday with my Xperia J but luckily i managed to fix it, Your battery is able to charge what's happened is it's completely flat like there's no juice left, So what you have to do Plug your charger in via Mains and leave it like that for a good hour or two, Take your phone off charge and push the power button and see if the red led flashes 3 times if it does this means your battery is still flat, So what i did next is plugged it in via USB and put it in flashmode attempting to flash stock rom back onto it, but that just completely failed so then i tried flashing CWM that did get me somewhere my phone booted up after but then it died again so i left it on charge via USB this time for one hour and it was charging as usual i then flashed Stock rom back onto it, it was still bricked after (bootloop) so i flashed it again, and it got my device back to good health, Not sure if any of that made sense but **** it :laugh:

Thanks for the post and the help , but I have a question , in this way will I still be able to get things from my PC to my device and vice-versa ? or it will make it chargeable only ?
And also , is this the only way to deal the problem ? And do you have any ideea what causes this ?
Hi cezar,
Just keep your phone on origenal charger and cable for an hour. This should work.

Well with this method you will need a spare USB cabel for data transfer/flashing because this one will be just a USB on the one side and stripped wires on the other.
This is the only way I found how to deal with this problem, you could always find someone with the same phone so that he can charge your battery for you.
This problem is a symptom of a soft brick. I guess you flashed a ROM that isn't stable so you found yourself in a loop. My advice is to do one of the things I said and in the future flash nee ROMs with at least 50% battery so you don't find yourself in this situation!
P.S. Try SONYs Emma, thats a cute little program for flashing stock ROMs especially in situations like this one.

In my case this disnt't work because my phone was stuck in a loop, it would start charging, boot up by itself, get to the point that it has 0% battery and power off by itself.

hmm I just thought about this. I do have indeed a custom ROM , but this didn't happen in process of flashing. just randomly , a month maybe I after cyanogenmod 11. Anyways , I just thought about this. What if I get another batterry from one of my friends , flash back to stock on my device and then give back the battery to that guy. Wouldn't that just work ?

Nope, have you tried a hard reset?(hold vol up and the power button till it vibrates three times), have you tried a software repair via Xperia companion?, is it a stock unrooted device?, what firmware version+region is it on?, what model no?, what revision no is the device? Have you flashed any ftf's via flashtool? All important things missing from your post.

Found out issue, very litte bending or pushing phone body cause shutdown, seems hardware issue.
I will return it to seller for repair/replace.

Is your phone still having that issue?
It seems like your battery is too low to power on. Try charging your phone via USB connected to your PC/Laptop. Let it charge for 30mins to 1 hour. Once your phone has enough charge you can plug it to charge to your normal charger.
Yes the problem is stii there. I have tried changing it for 24 hrs still same issue. I have changed battery with the new one still no results. I really want this phone because I used it almost for two years...not a single scratch on it.. :crying:
I think almost all sony smartphones that had this issue is probably a dead motherboard

I haved this issue 2 month ago tried everyway is possible to fix it but always failed, I think it's because battery,if. You plug your phone to charger more than 6 hours the led switch to red and if you hold power button you will see a empty battery icon but the problem is come from hardware not software trust me.
The only thing I done is just went to Sony warranty service and gave them my phone and they switched my (unlocked)phone with a locked phone.

because of your green flashing light. normally the light should stay on while charging or, blink 3 times if the battery is empty. but random flashes are a sign for a broken board.

It's electronic. not every device is exact the same and sometimes some parts failure quicker then other parts. maybe you got a lemon device who knows.. (or "monday device" as we say in german hehe).:silly:

If you're lucky and it's battery, then order battery from aliexpress and some stickers for back cover. If u do it right, then waterproof will remain (but it wouldn't risk too much).
If you're not so lucky try to find xz premium with broken screen on eBay and use it as donor for mainboard, as I doubt u will be able to find it cheap or at all.
