Brick??

After rooting the phone (Xperia Ray) I downloaded an update to the phone, through the air (not through Companion). During the update the phone went dead. What happened? Did I brick it by trying to update the phone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
you need to lock the bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stesj4:
How do I do that? the phone seems dead... no lights nowhere, just a short vibration each time I press the startbutton, nothing more
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stesj4:

Here you go.

The exact same thing happened to me. Updating with an unlocked bootloader resolves into a brick.

After repairing your device update with this and reroot as described in one of the comments.

I could remove all the bloatware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stesj4:
Thanks very much. Now I can use the phone again...

Just a note. If you hava a Xperia Ray press the "volume down"-button when you plug in the phone as instructed. The tool refers to Xperia Arc. Ray has no "return"-button.

You're welcome :)

I tried to root my Xperia Ray ST18i, but it didn't work. I used http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33 and went through it until "(C) Rooting" Step 7. The phone unfortunately doesn't boot any more.

I left out "Step (B) Flashing" because I already had firmware 4.0.A.2.368 on my phone.

Is there anything I can do to make my phone work again?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
Try step B
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
Thank you for your help!

Step B doesn't work, there is an error message "unknown sources and usb debugging is checked". It doesn't seem to work any more since Step C failed.

Is there anything else I can try?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
you have to put the phone into flash mode to reflash your phone.

read through step b carefully, you shouldn't get any message.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
I am pretty sure I did not miss anything. Let me recap the whole story so far:

After successfully unlocking the bootloader, I skipped B because the firmware was up-to-date and proceeded to C. Flashing the boot image seemed to have worked fine.

From now on, the phone did not boot up any more. It just turns on its display's backlight but does not even display anything, neither does it complete the boot process. Looks like the device is caught in a boot loop as it shows up periodically as "SEMC HSUSB Device" for a few seconds.

Tried step 10 anyway by pressing "Root" in SuperOneClick. When SEMC device shows up, SuperOneClick says. "Pushing psneuter... error: device not found FAILED"

So got back to step B, launched X10FlashTool and pressed on "Flash" and selected the firmware as specified in step B.5. Then connected phone in S1Boot Download mode with green LED on. Skipped B.7. as phone does not boot. X10FlashTool starts flashing as soon as the phone shows up in Download mode but stops at the second file (kernel.sin). Unfortunately, booting the phone to follow the instructions is not possible:

Thanks, that was the problem: I was using an older revision of the stock firmware. I did not notice the slight difference in the revision numbers.

At least, it works again :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
You are wrong, just like me, that link is for the sk17i, i think it's the mini pro, it also killed my ray too, it was the boot.img file.

anyway i'm glad you got it back to normal.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
Yes, possibly. So, is there a boot.img for the ST18i?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
the link posted in post 44 has the download.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
Thanks again, this works, and the phone still boots up. Feeling that I'm gradually getting there :)

I continued with SuperOneClick 1.7 as linked in this thread, but it hangs after pushing psneuter on "chmod psneuter" (tried on Linux as Windows 7 seems to grab the device, so the phone was not even recognized by SuperOneClick). SuperOneClick 2.1.1 did not get me any further. Is there anything else I am missing?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
I used the superoneclick pc version from the link you provided, it got my ray rooted, but I couldn't get rid of se's junk, so I resetted the phone and locked it up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
As getting rid of all that bloatware was my main goal, I did the same: reset and lock up. Without rooting, unfortunately. However, thanks again for your time, you have helped a lot!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
I had mine rooted, but all se junk still cannot be removed, so i just locked the bootloader and left it alone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Da-Funk:

Hi All,

Can you advise on how to get rid of the bloatware, I don't care much about rooting now, just to get rid of that junk. tiffty maybe you can explain?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
when unlocking the ray, I know you will lose the id track, does anyone know anyway to get it back.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiffty:
Da-Funk, I got the impression that you need the phone to be rooted to get rid of the SE junk. Unfortunately, I did not (yet) have any success in doing so.

I'm thinking about picking up a Galaxy Note when it comes out. I notice that the Note and the S2 have similar processors so I was wonder how does the S2 perform when playing flash video?

Right now I have a Captivate which can only run flash at a disappointing 320p. I would love to run it at 720p on the Note... Maybe that's just a dream tho :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I just played a 1080p flash video sample on my sgs2, no stuttering or lag, streaming off mobile data connection as well.

The note should be fine, the GPU in the sgs2 is very powerful anyway so it shouldn't have to much trouble with the extra resolution.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] KiLLuCHuN:
Well... This rom have plenty of bugs, and sadly the original developer of this rom is too stubborn to even admit the existance of it...

I think the bugs comes from the mix of having a very very unstable kernel with very awful known bugs and the use of crappy apks which replaces the old good functional apks for only the looks...

Promising stability is impossible.

Bugs I had when I used this... for a month:

(I DID NOT: Overclock, install other tweaks than transparent taskbar)

-Weird battery behaviour (sometimes lasted up to 2 days!; in the worst, just a night)

-Installed apps gets deleted from the menu (but installed in the system, worthless since you cannot access to the app but still uses the memory)

-When the rom gets buggy, it restarts itself with the screen issue... fixed easily, putting the phone to sleep and in the wake, the screen looks normal.

(but the restarting thing was loopy... restarted the phone itself w/o doing nothing for half an hour... I had to pull off the battery and wait some time...)

-The screen resolution was weird also... for some reason the apps looked with less space and for some apps it messed up the original look (like zombiebooth, no big deal tho)

-Buggy Videorecording/ photo taking (problems with the app, and with the codecs of the videos recorded with the cam...)

-The Compass was totally off... (no big deal for me tho, but it's a bug)

-Glitchy look for some apps (like FriendCaster, I read before that it was a bug because of some setting of the kernel... but it's a present bug anyway)

This is not acceptable for calling a rom Stable, the only dealbreakers was the restarting stuff and the battery behaviour, because sometimes I needed the phone and it was dead or looping...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] gkarthik16:
You forgot to mention something.. did you do a clean wipe & install? Some are really bugs. But the battery issue is surely a problem from your side.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Mangala_Dharma:
Personally if this is Drnotor's rom, there is no problem with me for overclocking or apps. I put dartktremor's app2sd, no problem. With the ungaze's one, not working to update the kernel. Yes there is a bug with the camera, it hangs, there is this option of blast shot or something, whatever. I select this option and then it works fine. I did clean install, then titanium backup, and I stick with the 240811 kernel as the next one did me fast burning battery on 3G. I do many internet and pandora radio and no games. Before this rom I was on void#forever, now I'll wait for andy's rom, but I don't know why people would have a problem with this rom. It's as good as any other, wifi thethering work, usb i don't know but it's enough for me.

Good battery, overclocking available, fast rom, so far so good.

Sent from my LG-P500 using much love...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Garuxa:
This ROM works well.

Most of the bugs you mention belong to the kernel (if you read the FAQ you'll see that it mentions something like this, "If problems persist try another version of the kernel"). The compass works fine if you've successfully calibrated your. If you did not work, I can only think that your compass is bad and take your phone to a service technician to review it.

If you still continue with "your" problems then you should go to the forum of dr.notor and report back all this, as seeing who is in charge of the subject's ROM here at XDA (no offense) I do not think that this topic be successful...

Off Topic

Sorry if I respond aggressively but I'm tired of seeing every issue of this section of developers (yes, I am not a developer but as I have space to say) many response where blame the people who make these great Kernels or ROM's, without given the time to figure out that **** is for the problem they have, and always the most problems come from users themselves and not the people who develop these things ...

Sorry for giving some feedback... my bad I guess. :rolleyes:

I know most of the bugs are FROM the kernel, but due to the nature of the rom, there's no other option tho. I was just pointing that this rom ISN'T stable at all, but I know you also read carefully the kernel dev topic as well :rolleyes:

Before trying this rom, I was using V20 Gingerbread, so yes, I did wipe everything... and I really mean EVERYTHING. So no, bugs aren't related to wipe or whatsoever.

1. The MIUI Gallery doesn't work properly - When browsing the pics, the strange white border on the top and bottom side appears... Also I cant see any pictures in some galeries, like Camera!!!

2. The MIUI Camera app is so laggy - when I want to take a picture, i takes about 10sec! to get a picture after the press of the shutter...

Nice ROM

Hi guys, i was bored from #void, tried some ICS "Themed" ones and decided also to give this one a go, have been testing with it since the 17th November. :cool:

From what i could see the ROM is much more stable and fast (really much faster - tested (flashed) 14 times with different app to sd) with DT app2sd, as long as you dont move the apps flashed with the rom int the settings/aplications menu. If I do all hell breaks loose, i even got the screen slplit in two mirrored images and random reboots. :(

Love the working DSP and hope one day someone remembers to do something on Microphone enhancement also (LG p500 mic is sooo weak), even WM 6/6.5 had such feature, why not Droid?? ;)

Loving also the battery life, 748/245 ondemand , 2 days with moderate wifi (2 hrs a day ), music, mail checking ( do not open or download att.) and normal call/message usage.

The only off point for me is in the new QQ launcher lock screen ( it looks great ), if enabled wont recognize SIM card in boot. disable it and immediately asks for SIM pin code. :mad:

Thank you, dr.notor and SWEATTAIMI for your hard work and hope this or other MIUI based ROMs continue evolving.:)
