Bump!

Hey! I still didnt repair my phone. Did some research today and I came across this thread: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/126236

Guy have Xperia Play and the same issue. When turning on the phone it vibrates and nothing happens after that. It turns out that guy had unlocked bootloader and he had to Re-Lock bootloader. May I have the same issue? I dont know if I had unlocked bootloader. So, I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

I dont know what to do. If I dont have unlocked bootloader and I will try to Re-Lock it will something happen?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Since you've changed the main board, it's possible that the phone is totally empty.

Do you get a steady green light when you connect to PC? If so, then try flashing a new kernel.use the original se with amss and total. It's around 27 MB. Unlock the bootloader first. All this can be done with phone off.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
Hey. Thanks for your reply. Yes, Green light is constantly lighting when connected to PC. Can you give me a link to tutorial how to do these things?

Hmmm, to unlock phone you need to root it first but to root it phone must be working ;/

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
and how can I root my phone with SEUS/Flashtool? I thought they only update my firmware.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmada:
yes they will give u latest kernel and baseband version,cos u need to hav the latest version before rooting

whereas rooting u can root with superoneclick
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Under the assumption that your phone is completely blank, proceed directly with flashtools and flash a new full stock kernel.

My friend told me that when youre flashing your phone with original Firmware you also get stock kernel, and I installed original firmwares couple times so I have stock kernel. What to do next?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmada:
u flashed to stock rom?

dat depends on wat u wanna do next ? :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicuu:
I had a Sony Ericsson with the exact same problem, only mine blinks when I haven't battery left. It's like a sign, just to assure you that the battery is empty.

Could be software/battery error as well.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
Please, before posting read the whole topic. I wrote that when I want to turn on the phone it vibrates and green light flashes.

@kirmada

If you would read the topic you would know what is wrong and what I need. I want to unlock bootloader.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Hi. Pls clarify. You we're successful in flashing the original firmware? Did you use flashtool? Are you able to get the bootlogo now or are you still stuck with the vibrate and green light?

Sent from my TI99 4A
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
I succefully installed stock Rom multiple times with flashtool, SEUS, PC Companion, but Im still stuck at the green light and vibrating. No bootlogo or anything, screen stays black. Can you tell me, when phone is launching, does it play any sound while it is turning on?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No. When you turn on your phone you won't get ANY sound during the boot sequence (just a short vibrate as a feedback that it turned on so you can release the power button).

Only custom ROMs, like GingerDX or FroyoPro, play a sound during the animated splash screen, but that's already way ahead into the boot process.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Actually, the stock Rom does have sound during the se logo splash.

Im beginning ti think that the problem could be very simple. Since you did change the board, maybe the back button is stuck of shorted somehow?

As for unlocking your bootloader here is the guide I used and it is easy to understand.

If you're problem is still occurring then I think its hardware related.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
Thanks zephiel, but to unlock bootloader in this tutorial I need to have working phone to enable debug mode
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Actually, that's what most of us are thinking. Your phone is going to debug mode without pressing the back key.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
Hmmm, What does that mean? I connect my phone to PC and green light flashes immedatly. Is that wrong? You say that back button may be pressed on all the time, can it be a problem while turning on the phone? When do you launch your phone with back key it wont turn on ?

Can someone tell me how to root phone with s1tool? I think its the only way to root phone in flash mode, but the only option I got in the s1tool is "DO JOB". In all tutorials, even on this forum say to press "RESTORE". I dont have this option. Why?

i just flash it with custom kernel 1st.

then i flash alf kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe200:
It's not a tool to root your x8 it's only a program to read your phone state is the bootloader unlocked or not..

If you want to root your phone use x8 toolbox instead

is this solved your problem?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos222:
Hey. To flash X8 with custom kernel I need to root my phone. X8 Toolbox also need USB Debug mode and I cant turn my phone on. Any ideas?

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to flag this to other users - I was having major problems using my Arc on my home network over wifi - it would connect then randomly the internet connection would go - even though it would say the wifi was still connected.. after a lot of searching I found someone suggest turning off mixed mode authenticaion on the router.. this done the trick as its working fine now.

So if anyone is having simillar issued on their network its worth trying before tearing your hair out!

[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Great Rom, silky smooth with Lords latest 6.9, and liking Swype and additional Wallpapers (Shuttle one is just incredible).

I would personally change the battery indicator to break away from Hydrogenmods appearance, but totally understand that that great Rom is an inspiration.

The Modified Launcher upon booting looks awesome and very refreshing.

Great start, and will be using this for a while.

Keep it up.

Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
Thanks buzz, glad you're liking the rom and I appreciate the feedback. I'm really happy with the way the Launcher came out, I think it's my favourite part of the rom right now. You might have a point about the battery icon, if I can find something else that I like as much I might change it for the next release.

Hi,

Can you let me know the steps to flash this ROM on my DHD device.

Reboot into recovery

Wipe data/cache

Wipe Dalvik cache

Install zip from sd card

(and probably back up first just in case you want to go back ;p)

[Desire HD Android Development] DFKT:
Nice ROM dude, thanks! Testing it as we speak :)

I've got a question though, coming from a Sense ROM and all. HTC has it's own contact hub, which signals possible links between contacts and offers a way to easily link them.

I know standard Android has the merge/link function for contacts as well, but I know no tool to signal possible links or easily set a link. Do you guys know of a way/tool to make this happen outside of HTC?

It's actually to only tool I can hardly live without with regards to Sense :rolleyes:

Edit: never mind, apparently GO (from the Launcher) has a contacts app as well :o
[Desire HD Android Development] DFKT:
Anyone else problems with WiFi connection drops / no WiFi connection possibility?

[Desire HD Android Development] jets76:
Is the latest swype beta 3 in this rom or is it the older swype?
[Desire HD Android Development] mhoa:
smooth , fast , save battery !

Helios + Go Luncher EX + Go Contatcs + Go Dialer + GO SMS Pro + Beautiful Widgets = Good ! :D

next version can you import talk (google talk ) ? :confused:

and add function camera with paronama ? :confused:

wait for new version too.

and next version can you mod PowerNotification like this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13470333&postcount=2

and mod toggles have toggleBluetooth , toggleGPS , toggleMobileData , toggleSound , toggleWifi :D

I thik that the version incluided is the latest swaype avaiable...

[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
Hi Guys, I've been having some problems getting repo to sync hence the reason for no updates. I've managed to work around it for the time being and am currently uploading a new update. I've done something a bit different and included miui camera, miui music and zeam launcher all as options in this update. If people let me know what they think I can either keep them or remove them from future updates. This update updates source and kernel to 7.0 CFS. Swype is the latest version as far as I know but it's the htc version taken from the doubleshot rom so it looks like a htc keyboard but is swypable
[Desire HD Android Development] mhoa:
Thank for new update

and can you add md5 when complete upload file
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
Yep sorry, I always forget md5
[Desire HD Android Development] mhoa:

[Desire HD Android Development] rsnt:
Any idea where I can get the themes from this rom?

Also, the swype theme or whatever it is looks amazing, how can i get that too?

lol

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Just type "cm7" on market, or there is a app called "theme Chooser themes".

Edit: Apologies, you may have meant the stock Rom theme, which I believe is The Developers handy work.

Regards.

(Great Update again Dev.)
[Desire HD Android Development] rsnt:
Yeah I realize the stock theme is modified by the developer, I was actually wondering about the other two themes in theme chooser.

What about the swype theme though does anyone know if I can get that somehow?

I hope I don't seem rude I just really like the theme.
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
You can pull Swype from this rom, you just need the Swype.apk from the app dir and libSwype... from lib
[Desire HD Android Development] rsnt:
This is weird but I cant find swype.apk and the libswype in my current rom. I managed to pull them from helios though...i'm gonna keep looking and see what i can find.
[Desire HD Android Development] dyne2199:
Awesome release, richfish :) Always great to see a solid, tweaked, stable, and well put-together CM-based ROM. Keep up the great work! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] fuzzbeans:
I know we aren't supposed to just post thanks, but I have been looking for a rom that works this well since my DHD was rooted. After cpu settings etc. it just plain works, and is smooth! Never fcs, is in my language and battery life is downright impressive. Thanks for your work.
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
I got bored and decided I wanted some wp7 icons and styling so I've been working on Helios7 (same Helios ROM with different status bar icons and some different apps). I really just did this because I wanted it but I'll attach some images and if anyone else wants it I can put up a download. Cheers :)
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
I'm up for that, looks great, still running 0906, been ultra reliable.

Regards and thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
Yeah I've been playing with some sense roms but cm base is just so much faster and has such better battery there's really no comparison...

I need to do a clean install of Helios7 to make sure everything works without tweaking so will probably get a download up tomorrow
[Desire HD Android Development] sreekanth1:
zip file size?

thanks richfish for your rom , now before i flash this rom can you tell me if the zip size is about 85mb just want to be sure i've downloaded the full zip. thanks.:)
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
that is adw on screenshots?

if yes, I want a piece of that also :)
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
No it should be more like 105MB

Yep, ADW with AndroidPhone7 theme
[Desire HD Android Development] fuzzbeans:
Looking forward to Helios7 it looks great.
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
I've had some issues making Helios7 look the way I want after a clean install so I've decided to incorporate the SystemUI and framework changes into the main Helios build. This means that Helios gets a UI update and anyone who still wants the complete look from the previous screenshots can install ADW, the AndroidPhone7 ADW theme, and WP7LockLite from the market themselves.

Helios will end up looking like the attached screenshot.
[Desire HD Android Development] fuzzbeans:
Is there a way to colorize the topbar?
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
A solid color should be possible (transparency is hard), what did you have in mind?

Yeah, I was thinking a solid light blue color.
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Fantastic update as usual, love the new battery, and settings theme.

This rom has an awesome batery life! :D

Stock radio on around 50% brightness while doing random stuff.

Also, what happened to the swype? The numbers at the top bar (instead of scattered randomly around the middle) made it much better than other swypes.
[Desire HD Android Development] BenRoark:
Richfish:

Awesome work, mate. This is easily the fastest, smoothest and most battery-efficient ROM that I've used thus far. Battery life just keep getting better with each charge cycle.

So far, it is the only ROM upon which I can run my rather complex, widget-riddled Go Launcher environment without any lags or distortions or other anomalies.

A couple of questions:

1. Just curious as to whether you've run it with BFS, and what your experience was of this?

2. How do we buy you beer?
[Desire HD Android Development] richfish:
Yeah I agree, I like that version of Swype for the same reason, the numbers in the middle of the keyboard is crazy. Not sure why I left it out, just because I liked the look of the themed latin ime.. I'll put it back in next update so everyone has the choice.

thanks man.. no need to buy me beer, I do it for the fun of it and because this is the rom that I want to use. Excellent battery is down to lord clockans excellent kernel. I did initially use his BFS kernel and while it ran fine apparently it reports 49% cpu use even when doing nothing. Seems like it's just providing incorrect info rather than actually running at 49% but CFS was the safer option.
