Can't enter fastboot....

Hi master,

Today, I got ST18i and success to root this phone by reading this instruction.

BUT..... after some period, I got OTA notice and tried updated (before reading all this thread...)

Then during updating process, it turn down the power and never turn on.

And in this time, even I hold Vol up and USB connection, it doesn't enter to Fastboot mode (Not turn blue LED on) and only I can is to write ROM again.

(also , I tried taking away battery more than 30 sec, but it doesn't help...)

Is there any solution to rescue this phone ??

Flashing stock rom

Hello,

I just received my RAY and I would like to know if I can flash stock SE RAY firmware over T-Mobile stock firmware without rooting or bootloader unlocking, ...? Am I safe to use this Flashtool and the rom file provided here? It is not so clear for me from the first post. Or what is the easiest way to get stock SE RAY rom? I do not like the T-Mobile stuff in my phone, that the reason why I want to have a clean stock rom. Phone is sim free not locked.

Thanks for any help.

How to unlock my phone ?

Hi everyone,

I am totally novice in the mobile domain (so forgive me if am wrong).

I would like to unblock my phone that I have bought to someone who is in another mobile operator (desimlock).

My phone is an Xperia Ray :

Build : 4.0.A.2.368

Model : ST18i

IMEI : 358343042647158

In the others replies, I guessed that I have to unlock first the bootloader but in Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status : No

(Following the sony ericsson instructions)

So I don't know at all what I have to do.

Thanks in advance for your help

Wifi not working after root

Hi,

I rooted my Ray this way

1. had brand new Ray bought in CZE with Android 2.3.3

2. got it already updated via OTA to 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4)

3. unlocked bootloader this way section (A) - everything went OK

4. rooted device this way using flashtool Root - everything went OK

but, this cleared all the data (no problem) and broked wifi (this is a big problem) - now I cant access any wifi (doesnt matter if secured with WPA or open), it says obtaining IP address and then disconnects

I tried to reflash with this image via flashtool this way:

1. went to fastboot (volume up + usb cable to PC)

2. started flashtool, it said Device connected in fastboot mode

3. clicked Flash icon, selected Flashmode in Mode Selector (default option)

4. selected image 4.0.2.A.0.42 and OK

5. it said preparing files for flashing

6. after 2 mins it displayed message INFO - Searching Xperia and ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode and another popup dialog said "unplug device, power off the device. press back button and hold it, plug the usb cable

now it still works OK, I'm able to boot the phone, use it, make calls, but wifi doesnt work and I'm not able to flash anything

do you have any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
when i clearly posted that u need to be on correct FW why did u flash OLDER KERNEL ON NEW FW?

phone is on stock firmware: 4.0.A.2.368

now extract the kernel.sin from stock .42 FW and flash it using fastboot

search how to do this...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] martin.eu:
yes, you are right and I knew about it, that this boot.img is from older ROM, and it was strange to me, but I read here that root method is the same... but now I see it was misunderstanding - the same method, but another files...

anyway, I found a solution meanwhile, already on your kernel and everything works fine, thanks anyway and sorry, I spent a night on it and wasnt able to find a solution, I found it several minutes after my post, I will be more tenacious next time

Is it possible to flash a launcher to be the default launcher? (Looking at AOSP Laucher - (I'm looking to get a launcher of that style not necessarily that launcher)). I currently have that launcher but it is not "default" to me in a sense that it shows up as a task. If it is possible to flash a launcher, how may I do it?

I am more concerned about getting the style of bar on the bottom home screen so that I can also use it in landscape mode (Andromeda 3)

Thank-you for your patience and understanding, I'm a noob!:o

App adw launcher on market place should be able to do all that, it'll give you the option to make default.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
You can flash a launcher, but you don't have to.

Launcher can be installed like any other app and set as default.
[General Questions and Answers] droid future:
A launcher is installed just like any other APK not flashed. ADW EX is a great launcher. I personally prefer LauncherPro, there is a paid version and free version. For an easy way to switch between the launchers, you can download an app called Home Switcher which will allow you switch launchers from the app drawer. You can find it in the Market. Another great launcher would be GOLauncherEX which has a ton of skins and modifications.

Ahh thanks guys. I found a rom serendipity seven. It has my favorite launcher so I'm good to go!

I was using nav app when my phone froze for some reason (first time ever it froze). I restarted the phone n the battery fell flat from 65 something to 14. I was shocked. I restarted again n this time it came to 28. Couple restarts n it still was at 28.

Can anyone pls help me understand this.

I never had any issue with my battery whatsoever so far and find this a lil unnerving.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
Have you looked into the battery log to see if anything in particular was drawing it? Possibly Android?

It has happened to me twice. Pulled battery for a minute or two and was good to go. No rhyme or reason and not a regular occurance. Happened on two different GB roms also so I cannot pin it down.

Good Luck.... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Unfortunately I didn't. The next time I'll see the logs. Where do I see the battery logs?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
Menu/Settings/About Phone/Battery use

:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
This I know. That's where the screenshot is from that I posted in OP. I was thinking probably like a log file.

And it there, it doesn't show anything. The pic clearly shows drop in battery level after a restart.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Our fuel gauge sometimes flakes out. Either search General for "gingerbread fuel gauge" for info on how to reset it, or just pull battery for a minute or two - that'll reset the fuel gauge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
OK so take this post and i can say word for word that it happened to me.

I was fishing with a friend yesterday and while taking a photo of a great catch, my phone froze....which it has never done. I restarted and my battery was in the red, rebooted again and battery got higher but still half of what it was before the freeze. Like the OP, I had my gps on when I took the photo and had been using the navigation just before.

Recalibrated battery and does not seem to have a problem after a full day after.

Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
like entropy512 said - sometimes our gauge just gets thrown off.

every time i have to pull my battery (phone freeze, flashing - whatever) i generally lose at least 10%.

i have never lost as much as the OP did in one freeze... but my guess is that he just hadn't pulled the battery in quite a while, and therefore his gauge was super inaccurate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
:D

Well, I never pulled it out ever since I got the phone until this happened. Now its back to normal :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
Yeah and i recalibrate my battery regularly.... So it wasn't a "fuel gauge" issue....

Even still, the point was that whatever happened was caused by the gps and/or navigation...

Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Recalibrate? How? I am sensing that you don't understand how our fuel gauge works if you tried to apply a recalibration technique for an HTC phone to our device. This is a classic fuel gauge flakeout. It will just decide to go bonkers for some people unpredictably, I haven't figured out why.

On our devices, battery pull = recalibration - that's it. There's a software shortcut and it is NOT to wipe battery stats, search for "gingerbread fuel gauge".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I have no option but to agree, though partially... cos this happened after the phone froze up when using navigation. So looks like its got something to do with that.

I don't think the app wud use up battery from 65 to 14 within 2-3 mins. It froze within 2 mins of starting nav from maps, and I rebooted the phone using the power n volume keys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
My guess is more likely an I2C bus freeze or some other weird low-level thing borked up the fuel gauge chip - the CPU hanging in the middle of a gauge read operation might do something funky like that.

Navigation can do NOTHING to touch our fuel gauge chip, nor can anything drain the battery fast. Also, as you see, the battery estimate started going upwards after the "jump", which is a clear sign that the fuel gauge wacked out.

If it happens again - check the battery voltage. If raw voltage stays high and SOC goes low, your battery didn't discharge, it's just being misreported and a battery pull or SOC reset (Note, this is NOT wiping battery stats - if you haven't found my gingerbread fuel gauge thread in search, just do a battery pull) will fix things.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwabbit168:
Is there a good alternative to SetCPU for undervolting the transformer?

I'm trying to get my low frequency voltages down as much as possible. It looks stable at 216MHz at 250mV (the limits of the slider) right now and I want to see if it will run lower.

I've tried to set it lower by typing numbers directly into the menu but considering there were no crashes when running at 25mv and 0mv, I suspect SetCPU can't set things lower than the slider allows. :D

So are there any apps that'll let me go lower?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjens:
Haven't undervolted, so can't really give you an answer. However, I'm really curious as to how much battery life you gain by doing so.

Did not try this one myself, but I see others refer to an app called Pimp my CPU.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwabbit168:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried out Pimp my CPU and unfortunately it looks like the voltage adjustment max is -250 on it. It seems to report set voltages the same way as SetCPU as well since it's reporting my 0mV setting on min frequency. :D

I guess I'll have to keep looking.

Once I get my settings right, I'll be sure to post about how much battery time I'm getting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:
You want to go more than -250 mV? Good lord. Good luck with that there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reidar.ostrem:
I think the cap on the mV is done in the kernel...

So no other UI will help you with that, correct me if i'm wrong...

Hi community,

I recently started using SVN to download only revisions and not the whole 400mb ROM file. It's been great but recently I grew tired having to zip and copy 400MB to my phone. So I researched a way to export only the changes to a revision and to create a custom update-script file to flash the changes.

**From http://verysimple.com/2007/09/06/usi...odified-files/ **

-- Using TortoiseSVN, right-click on your working folder and select “Show Log” from the TortoiseSVN menu.

-- Click the revision that was last published

-- Ctrl+Click the HEAD revision (or whatever revision you want to release) so that both the old and the new revisions are highlighted.

-- Right-click on either of the highlighted revisions and select “Compare revisions.” This will open a dialog window that lists all new/modified files.

-- Select all files from this list (Ctrl+a) then right-click on the highlighted files and select “Export selection to…”

Once exported to your "Current" directory, you now have to create the custom update-script file so you can flash the changes. Lets say the revision changes were in the "system" folder (you'll notice this by looking at the exported files and see which folder they are under). Your update-script file would look like this (minus the borders):

***more in depth instructions are found here --> http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/***

==========================================

show_progess 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

show_progess 0.1 10

==========================================

a) show_progress 0.1 0 --> starts a progress bar

b) copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: --> copies the contents of system (from your zip) to system (on your ROM)

c) show_progress 0.1 10 --> completes the progress bar

Again, name this file "update-script". Then place in your "Current" directory in folder ...\META-INF\com\google\android

Zip up the package as normal. To conclude, your zip file should have 1) the exported revision changes 2) the update-script file located in "Current"\META-INF\com\google\android

Hope this helps. Feel free to critique.

PS - remember to read the log from SVN. Sometimes, a full 400MB zip and push is needed.

UPDATE: You just need to rename the ****PC36IMG.zip to just PC36IMG.zip and then push to the root of your sdcard and boot into Hboot and it will flash.

I figured I would start the thread with the splash screens I make and I would love to do any requests for people. Just post an image that you want me to create into a splash screen or tell me what you want and I'll see if I can do it. I'm not very good in paint.net or photoshop yet but I can try my best (or have my adobe certified brother do it for me lol)

Anyway, here is the link to the archive and the batch file inside flashes the image for you. If anyone who knows how wants to create a pc36img zip for it, you're welcome to and I'll add it to the main post.

the atrix on stock 1.0 ghz gets REALLY hot so yea i would assume it would just get hotter MUCH hotter but you can get a setcpu and just set your processor down when you dont use it much or make profiles to automatically do it

great, so the rom just allows OCing, not forces it? thats good to know, thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
it will automatically clock itself to 1.3ghz, you'll need a program like SetCPU or PimpMyCPU to set it to not OC itself.

Anyone having Any of these Issues?

It just started happening After I Flashed a few Custom Roms... And just about 5mins. ago I had a PRL Update Popup on the screen Without me physically Updating it on my own! WTF is up?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i've been on my minor tweaked version of the stock ROM and haven't had either of these issues, "random reboots and screen freezes".

does any certain set of actions on the device trigger the screen freeze or random reboot?

if you have a custom ROM loaded at the moment, perhaps check that specific ROM developer thread for similar reported issues?

if the custom ROM developer/thread can't offer any specific help, i'd test the device on a stock ROM to make sure it isnt hardware related.

if you experience these issues on the stock ROM, i would think it might be hardware related.

technical route: if you want to dive deeper into the issue, after a random reboot, can pull the /proc/last_kmsg to if the kernel debug output shows anything helpful regarding the reboot .. *sometimes* it contains the reason and can help troubleshoot, especially if it is a custom kernel, that last_kmsg file will help the developer.

sorry to hear about the random reboots and screen freezing .. those are definitely some of the worst issues to experience. hope the troubleshooting steps and technical details help!
