So there's no way to tell what the date of the build is from the name?

I know the epic used to have easy stuff... like EI07 - E=2011, I=09 (September) 07 = 7th (09/07/2011)

Are these builds not coded with some similar, but elusive, method?

The E is probably 2011 still ... but EP1W?! 16 - 1 - 23? No idea.

I have read that ther is an issue with flashing the stock Kernel on some Mini and Mini Pro

As i read that i decided that i Don't try to unlock the bootloader and Flash an insecure Kernel to obtain root because it is to dangerous

Lets hope that there will be an other method to root this device
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zepihd2:
Working just now!

I flashed with lower version:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] knudsen81:
where did you get it from
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zepihd2:
From Setool support. You must have Setool box or dongle to be able to flash/unlock sonyericsson devices.

Touchscreen dead after flashing custom roms

Hello all,

I'm also fighting with this problem. Has anybody more information for the reason of this bug?

My Phone:

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i 1249-0812 TYPE: AAD-3880104-BV

Bootloader is unlocked.

The Status:

My Phone is booting and all physical keys works but the sensor buttons and the Touch display is completely unresponsive/unusable.

I' ve tried different update tools (flashtool, wotan, install from CWM) and different roms:

FXP052-update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-KANG-signed.7z

SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1249-7380).ftf

SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf

SK17i_4.0.A.2.335_FRENCH.ftf

also tried to update the kernel from [KERNEL] KRsH Kernel v2.0 (MiniPro)

It always results in a nearly working phone with no response from the touchscreen.

Would be very appreciative for any help!

Thanks,

Bernhard

Bought my wife a mini pro which was a SK17i

It came today and worked for about 20 minutes while I put all her stuff on it.

Then all of a sudden the touch screen and capacitive buttons stopped responding.

I had a similar issue on my x10 mini pro which related to the homebrew dual touch driver. Stock restore from SEUS fixed that.

Tried that on the xperia mini pro but it didnt help.

I've sent the phone back as faulty now.

Would be interested in hearing if the problems here are software or hardware.

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] petrucian:
Hi guys, I have the same problem like everybody else - the touch screen doesn't work niether the capacitive buttons.

It happened when I thought I caught a virus after downloading an aplication : :confused: THE SEARCH ICON

Probably this was really stupid thought, but then I decided to make a full factory reset. My phone was rooted and after the reset the super user icon was still in the aplications. Then after 2 minutes using the phone it crushed, so I decided to unroot and then to make another factory reset and I did it.

Then the home button didn't work and the phone crushed few more times.

So I used PC Companion and update to .62. The phone was Ok for a week then it's screen and the capacitive buttons were useless.

I did 6-7 repairs from Pc Companion but still nothing.

Then I use Flashtool to flash it to SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf and again nothing. Then I flash it to SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_Trade_United_Kingdom_(1248-7407).ftf but still nothing. After that I updated again to .62 and no result.

IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP :( PLEASE
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service to restore firmware completely.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] petrucian:
I tried Sony Ericsson Update Service, too! Even with full factory reset and update to the latest firmware .62 and still the same problem! What should I do?

Someguyfromhell thanks you for your answer. I don't know why there are no posts for fixing this. Everybody asked for solution, but still none answer! I can't use my phone for a week now. It is really annoing :mad: . Please I really need help!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] beetlish:
Sounds like the same problem I have. I was using hybrom + krsh kernel for months and was really satisfied with the phone. Then about a month ago the touchscreen went suddenly unresponsive for a 10 seconds or so. After that these lock ups started to became more frequent. I installed logcat and noticed it had something to do with touchscreen driver in kernel.

Next I tried bbooff's kernel but no avail. Then I used wotanserver to install stock kernel and rom, relocked bootloader, updated with pc companion, uninstalled all software I installed from market, did a 100% complete factory reset...

Then after using the phone for 5 minutes without lock ups I was really feeling victorious. I guess I forgot to knock wood because the touchscreen froze again. Now the phone is at the service center.

Either there is some really weird bug in these custom roms we all used or the hardware is bad. I never overcloked my phone more than 1,0 GHz -> 1,1 GHz so that can't be the reason.

I hope the service doesn't cost too much. I think I voided my warranty when I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom kernel. The saddest thing is if it is a hardware problem caused by a bad hardware or a design fault I would still have to pay for it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] petrucian:
I understand, but it is really wierd, because I didn't use custom ROMs at all. I just made factory reset on a rooted phone (without unlocking the bootloader) after that I update to .62 from PC Companion and then I used the phone for a month and like yours the touchcsreen was dead for a little bit and the capacitive buttons, too. After that these lock ups started to became more frequent like yours. Do you thing that I will void my warranty, too and is there a solution for me?

Anyone with solution?
[GT540 Optimus General] ChriisM:
Now id just like to say thanks to everyone in this forum for being the most helpful community i know.

Especially Mur4ik and other rom devs without you guys we'd have noting and i would have got rid of my phone months ago.

Today i bought a HTC Sensation , offer was to good to refuse. Im selling my gt540 but i do have a spare one with a smashed screen, i put a video on youtube on how to change it but i never actuall bought one LOL.

So ill still be here to try out any roms yous need help of ,

Thanks ChriisM.
[GT540 Optimus General] Jamielawther:
Even though I got my new phone back in July I think it's also necessary to say thank you Mur4ik and all you other rom developers! Swiftdroid was always my rom of choice, I kinda miss CM7 but it's not available on the Galaxy Ace yet :( thanks all anyway :)

GS2 with custom rom 4100's haha quite a significant difference from the Gt540.

Its very easy , and there loads of tutorials on how to.

What you need to do is , Root bye superoneclick,Get clockwork from rom manager, then flash a XXJVQ or what ever from Samfirmware.com then install the rom .zip :D Easier than our phones (KDZ updater)

The easiest will still be the nexus series all u need to do is boot into boot loader unlock and flash a new rom

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
I have a question that is eating at me to no end. Every android device (this is my 6th) I've rooted. I tried to use the devices without root and hesitated somewhat to do so, but rooting was inevitable with all of them.

I just received (from a lovely wife) a Nook Color for my birthday. I intend to use this solely as an e-reader. In that, I also like to diversify my e-book collection by using multiple providers (you can see where this is going, I'm sure). I would really like to be able to use B&N, Amazon, and Google Books to download content.

However... I've seen that there are a few things that don't work as they should after rooting. I'm not sure I'm willing to live with that.

After all of that said, how many of you have the same intentions I have? How many of you intend to use this as an e-reader and an e-reader only? I ask because I've seen several threads discussing different uses that clearly go beyond what the device was intended to do. Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking what you are doing. I'm only trying to find out if these additional functions (I also believe in the beauty of open source;-)) serve as additional incentive for you guys to root. If this is the case, is using it as a multi-provider e-reader enough incentive to root? Is is enough incentive to "suffer" with what does not work after rooting?

Please chime in! Thank you for you input. I would really like to root this thing, but I just want to make sure it's worth the hassle.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
93 views and no one has an opinion? Is everyone using this device as everything but an e-reader? At least tell me it is a dumb question if you think that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
Pretty much everyone here uses the nook as a full android tablet that also reads books. I use CM7 myself and i would have never bought the nook if it didn't have any custom roms. I do not know any negatives to rooting the stock OS as I never used it. I would say go for it and if you don't like it you can go back to stock in <5 minutes.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
I'm probably the only one here that recently changed my configuration.

I've been a NC user with CM7 nightly builds installed to the emmc (that's right a bold user willing to risk a brik).

However, over time I'd had the opportunity to pickup another tab for the geek (HP Touchpad for that oh so low price).

Since the Nook Color is now really being used as a e-reader only again (with a few Apps from the BN app store), I've restored it to stock with the 1.3 update.

No root, nothing except a blank SD card for extra content.

The BN stock Nook reader software is night and day in terms of stability and performance in comparison to the "Nook for Android" application. It doensn't have that cool page turn animation, but why does the "Android" app pale in comparison when both technically are Android apps?

Granted, I don't have Amazon or Google book content access any longer, but I can use them on the other tab if I desire. But I've been finding that I prefer to purchase my books on BN and Amazon/Google vendors have only gotten my "Free" book purchases in the past.

I can also get my enhanced books again.

If BN decides it needs to add some services to help compete with the forth coming Amazon Tab, like video and audio rentals/purchases, you might see official support for NetFlix or Hulu as a counter. Reason is that BN would need to build that infrastructure, but providing NetFlix or Hulu Plus might be good enough to compete with Amazon Prime.

I really do like my NC again on stock. Without another tab to root/mod, I'd still be on CM7 (the beauty is I'm watching the CM7 development for the HP, so soon).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
I've had my NC for about six months, and have used rooted stock (versions 1.01, 1.1, and 1.2) and am now almost exclusively using CM7 on the SD card. I use it for a lot more than an e-reader, but I do read a lot on it.

1) The stock reader software is much nicer than any Android reader apps out there. That was why I stuck with the stock software for so long.

2) I don't know of anything that's working on an unrooted Nook that is broken by rooting. Can you elaborate on what you meant by that?

3) If you really want to have an ebook collection that isn't dependent on a single vendor, you should look into Calibre and the tools that are available to strip DRM from books you buy. Then you can buy a book from, say, Amazon, strip the DRM, load it into Calibre, and convert it to any format you wish. This involves a bit of work on the PC side, so you're not able to just download directly to the reader, but it's one way to keep your stock unrooted Nook and still use Google or Amazon to buy books. And it means you'll always be able to read those books, not just when Amazon or Google or B&N decides you can.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
I've been running rooted stock 99% of the time since I got the device. I did hammer it very early on (I think I tried installing one of the SD-card targeted froyo builds to emmc) and just so I could at least fiddle, ran the honeycomb off sdcard for a look. I've run cm7 and miui off sdcard, but I've never liked the alternate roms more than I like the stock, enough to flash them to emmc and certainly not enough to run them as daily drivers off of sdcards, since then my sdcard slot is obliged to be full.

I'm not clear on what, in the current rooted stock, isn't working that the OP refers to. For me, all the stock apps work fine, and I have access to Netflix and the free fridays books.

My preferred reader is fbreader - I like true night mode and landcape, and I have no problems with that reader crashing.

I would rather use the Nook for Android app, for the same reason that I like fbreader and for the additional benefit of very simple cross-device sync. I also have an ST, and am using fbsync and fbreader on both in conjunction with Tasker to sync reading positions.

I'm very unimpressed with the 1.3 firmware. In my hands, the device is more sluggish when running it than when running 1.2, but I know there are some folks that it helped to have (networking issues in 1.2.)

But overall, I can't think of anything that doesn't work on rooted stock that does work on vanilla stock, so more input on that would be helpful.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
The only thing I'm aware of that doesn't work on rooted stock is the reading now button. I haven't tried the latest enhanced books for 1.3 yet, but everything else I've tested successfully.

My family has 3 nooks - my wife and me, plus my mom. My mom is a voracious reader and has literally read at least 100 books since Mother's Day. I offered to turn it back to stock for her, but she told me that there just a handful of android apps (not available through B&N) that she wants to keep. So she stays rooted.

For my wife, she's a big reader too (not as much as mom) but she has more than a handful of apps she wants, particularly a host of free games from either the market or android appstore, so she stays on rooted stock. Both have zero complaints. Both are also overclocked to 1200 using Dalingrin's OC kernel.

For me, I've been toying with CM7 on sd card for about 2 months now. I love how smooth it runs and I'm extremely satisfied with it. My only knock is the reader. As others have said, the stock nook reader is still the best, although both fbreader and moon reader are very good as well. I'm probably 50/50 on reading vs other stuff on my nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
Thanks for all of your replies! I saw somewhere (I believe the ManualNooter thread) that there might be crashes with apps that required imei (forgive spelling). I have no idea what apps might require that. I went ahead and took the plunge. So far I like it! I have not figured out how to turn off gmail email sync yet, but I really like being able to access books from all three major providers!

Thank you all for your input!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
Perknite, also take a look at using Calibre for book management, and the tools for managing the security of your ebooks discussed at apprenticealf.wordpress.com.

You can read books from each of the vendors both on your computer and in any app you like on the NC, if you configure the tools and have the computer app from the vendor plus a program called Calibre on the PC.

I used to do a lot of this manually, and recently learned that Calibre will do huge amounts of it automatically if it has access to the install data from BN and Amazon.

Information security is a triangle: availability, confidentiality, integrity. DRM breaks your control over availability and integrity in order to deliver confidentiality - not to you, but to the vendor of your files. The tools discussed in the Apprentice Alf blog let you manage the availability and integrity of your data for yourself. You owe it to your ebook vendors to maintain confidentiality -- but you owed them that to start with, and it was in the agreement as you purchased the books.

Hi all,

Just flashed my first ever rom on my desire S.

Id already S-Offed.

Downloaded Rom manager full version.

Backed up my standard setup.

Downloaded the latest miuius.

and flashed it.

All through Rom manager, I recommend the app its very well written.

I couldnt believe how easy it was.

Very impressed with miuius rom.

Seems faster as its mildly overclocked.

cpu scaling is supported.

Fixed my wifi, battery was much better.

All the usual google stuff is there and market works perfectly.

Only a couple of small problems I could find:

No sound or mic on making calls sometimes, but fix available and applied.

Auto Screen brightness sometimes breaks, I think when a message screen comes down from the top.

Haptic/vibration on keyboard not working, not that fussed but would like it.

If you havnt done it yet I recommend you dive in.

Its not nearly as painful as it used to be.

Because of the extra 16 black pixels at the end of every 240 at the X10 mini/mini pro screen (240x320), streaming with Android Screen Cast or Droid@Screen shows a disortet image (same problem with some screen-grabber apks), see attached image.

Hello, I have bricked my S8500. I can go to the download menu. The problem is that I can't install properly USB drivers , or maybe it is USB cable that is wrong, the USB cable is from nokia and model is : CA101. Even when the phone was working ok computer couldn't see my wave , and I don't know why... So the problem is that when I go to the Download menu my computer detects all the drivers and everything is alright... And when I hit download I get this.

Download Start Ch[0]

BootLoader 1703.9KB OK[0.7s]

Dbl 281.5KB OK[0.8s]

Wait reset !!

Serial port detect error!

And after Wait reset my computer just didn't recognize my phone anymore, and that's why it has been bricked at the begining. Could anyone please help me? I tried different USB drivers, different PC. Nothing helps :{{{ Please guys, help me.

Maybe it is because my USB cable isn't from original wave, or no?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] datta.ca:

The problem usually goes away for me when flashing from a freshly booted pc, so try restarting one of your computers for flashing and try again.

Hello!

First kill all Kies Processes (in the Task Manager)

Second launch Multiloader and try to flash

When it says Serial Error, just do Port Search again, and it should work

Hope I helped you :)
