I get a circular yellow 'recycling' symbol, followed a few seconds later by a magenta triangle with an exclamation mark. (Is this the stock recovery?). Then the phone restarts and I end up back in the Clockworkmod recovery.

No. A normal reboot (without holding the Vol down key) sends me straight to clockworkmod recovery.

I can get to HBoot with Vol down+Power on startup.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Right this means you did mess up the boot and recovery partitions, the one where you have the exclamation mark is the stock recovery which means you didn't flash cwm to the recovery partition.

the fact that you get to recovery on a normal boot also suggests as I suspected that you have flashed recovery on to the boot partition, follow the instructions I put up earlier about flashing the boot.IMG and redo the recovery.IMG and you should be fine
[HTC One X] mwhincup:
Your analysis is quite correct. All is indeed good! Thanks very much. The boot image worked as described. I will now transfer Superwipe and the ROM.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, it was lucky this time but if you mess up your system partition you may find yourself with no way of putting files on without unrooting and restoring the ruu
[HTC One X] mwhincup:
Done!

Everything worked as you said it would.

I now have ARHD installed and running brilliantly.

Thanks again

Glad you fixed it and sorry for being a bit harsh earlier.. was having a bad day ;)

I'm stuck to

hello

Im stuck with recovery and can not access my device via usb, i was trying to follow a step by step to flash a rom, however i have done that mistake of using that superwipe, :-(

now i can only access recovery and fastboot, otherwise the phone is stuck in the white htc scree!!!

Further more i read about RUU, which as i understand must be the original form the htc comes with, it is taking ages to download, but to tell the truth im not sure what to do with it!!!!

I searched the internet high and low and found many ppl in the same boat and many advice, however with lack of usb support and recovery everyone seems stuck

any help is appreciated

sam

That's OK.

All is well

I think you'll get more help if you start a new thread, since your situation is somewhat different from mine, described in the first post.

Don't worry though, I'm sure someone will be able to help.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shoz_on4u:
I dont have tint but white colour does seem a bit yellowish specially in the bottom half part of the screen. I think it's the screen guard causing such view but tomo m going to sony centre and compare it with other phones and check if its ok or no... :o

Sounds very much like the yellow tint alot of users have complained about, with many pointing out a yellowish tint at the bottom of display.

so it will be easy for we people of india too check back fast on any updates!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SonyXperiaS:
By the way when did this problem arise?? i mean in how many days of usage?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sagr_ved:
just used it for around half day

that too not heavy use!

just 3 to 4 phone calls and i just got a hint that there is a patch above the home button and then i used the phone for about half an hour and it became dark!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SonyXperiaS:
hmm.. that pretty quick, what did the customer service people say?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sagr_ved:
i did not go to service center

i went to the retailer from whom i bought the phone and he promised me a new handset then and there

but i looked at the imei number series of all the phones he had and they all were identical to mine so i requested him to order another piece today!

and he agreed!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:

Just to mention, you have to make your phone get HOT in most cases (35 celsius and more) to see the spots and light leaks! Then just pull down the notification bar and see the lower part, if there is yellow tint you will notice it!

Yep had that with my first one was really bad with yellow burn circle at top right corner and a yellow spot at the bottom around 40 degrees Celcius I had it along the left and right edge too... 12W09

Bought from Hong Kong in Late March

Yellow tint is occasionally visible, but not always there.

And will disappear after not using the phone for a while.

I guess when the screen temperature gets lower, the tint will disappear.

Oh and build is 12w09
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
I think 11 12 13 doesnt care.

Every 1 of 4 devices are faulty:p

Its really bothering me:(

Not good
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deadsea:
12w08 got it on Apr 11. Slight yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. seriously evaluating if I should get it exchanged or to send it for warranty a few months down the road. The display set I saw at the shops had much worse tinting. And those are likely to be fairly new since the advertising campaign just started up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I had 12W10 with yellow tint, today I recieved a new phone from T-Mobile 12W13 with no tint so far, I have noticed when looking at the glass when the screen is turned off it has a grid built into it kind of like the rear screen on a car to de-mist it. Cant remeber seing this on my old version, anybody else noticed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
Had a 12W09 and a 12W10, both have that grid. (only shows in pretty bright light)

Anyway, returned the 12W09 one for a 12W10 one.

Got a little yellow tint at the top of the screen, most of it in the top right corner.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
It must be to do with capacitive touch, first time I noticed it though :cool:

My new screen is good so far, fingers crossed....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
I'm glad I read this post. I'm going to pick up the Xperia S at a Sony store in Canada. Will play some games, get it heated up and see if there's a yellow tint.

Once the phone is heated up, does it show right away?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I didnt notice it straight away on my first phone, but also it had only just come out so I wasnt pre warned on the problem.

I have read people saying that the problem started up to two weeks after they bought it.

I would have thought that Sony have now fixed the problem, just have a look at the sticker behind the rear cover and make sure its not an old unit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
Is your second phone okay? I hope Sony fixed the issue and are not selling these defective devices to Canada. So if I see week 11, I should return it and wait for the next batch right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HQXU:
I'm now on my third Xperia s W11 which unfortunalty also has the yellow tint, so I decided I will wait till end of this month and get it replaced,, hopefully all faulty handsets whould have been gone by then.

Today I found this on each side of the screen, they look like small lights shining and not the usual tint and it can be seen when looking sideways, it hard to show with the photo taken. (my x10 camera seems **** after taking this)

Also as I replaced 2 xperias, I noticed the area around the front camera was different from each other.. sony ran out of parts maybe :D

one looked like this

and the other
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
Yes my new phone seems fine, only recieved it today mind but Ive had it hot!

12W13
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
My goodness. I was so excited for this phone. I'm still going to pick one up today. I'll check the label inside. If it's week 11 or older I'll return it. Does the box show what week it is? I know with BlackBerries they show the week of when it was made.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mikbe:
No yellow tint yet on my 12w10's screen. Not even when I run AnTuTu many times a row. Shouldn't it appear like that if the screen is faulty?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I cant see the number on the box, they will replace it if its faulty anyhow. ;)

mine xperia s is from 12w10, but no yellow tint so far, but i don't heat up my phone, so i really don't known if my phone have that problem or not, and i'm a lit bit scared because i don´t know if i should keep it or send it back (still in time to return)

all the phones from 12w10 have it or not?

yellow tint problem on my second xperia s

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Been using my XS since the 4/4(13 days ago). Still no sign. 12W10. Idling at 25-28*C on the battery sensor.

Using 6 images of flat colours to test. Attached if anyone wants.

Gonna heat the phone up as much as I can now to see. Hmm, what to use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
Pinball Arcade is a great way to pass 10 mins and heat it up ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Not bothered right now, so stress testing. At 43*C now, but it doesnt seem capable of going any higher. Gonna raise ambient I think ;)

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Ok, so after a while at 41-43*C I stopped the test and quickly jumped back to the images. Screen felt hot to the touch, and on all the colours I could see nothing but on white, there alas was a small yellow spot. Just above and to the right of the home button, about 1 cm long. And another tiny yellow "dot" in the bottom right corner :(

IF it doesnt get any worse, it wouldnt be enough for me to send it back, but any more and its straight to the store.

Will see what happens when it cools down(after I stop charging it).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
How do you read the temps?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
We only have access to a battery temp sensor from what I can tell, but in a phone there wont be that much variation.

This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability was what I used to heat it up, and that reads from the sensor, or the other option(for me) is Widgetsoid, I keep "system monitoring" on my 5th screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
Just read from a chinese forum, someone working in sony reveal some documents (don't know if these are real or not).

Basically, if the touch firmware is 6 (dial *#*#7378423#*#* -> service info -> software info), the screen should be fine, they won't accept repairing (in China); if it's 7, then there might be yellow tints on screen.

Also, it is not about the week number, it's about the 4 letters code printed on the battery sticker, the one just above the week number, something like "AAAB".

If the first 2 letters is "AA" (hardware version 1), then it might be a problem screen; if it's "AB" (hardware version 2) or "AC" (hardware version 3), then there is no problem, i.e. no yellow tints / spots.

The tones in the documents are quite "absolutely sure", i.e. NOT "it should be no problem with the screen", but rather "there IS no problem". And they won't accept repair for any phone that doesn't pass their "check" (mentioned above).

And their explanation of "yellow tints" on touch firmware 6 / ABAC screens is that these are just different colours adjust of LCD screens which is common, i.e. not every single piece of screen has exactly the same colour adjust, some might be a bit blue, some are more yellow, etc. (it sounds like it's YOUR eyes problem if you think it has got yellow tints on those "touch firmware 6 / AB / AC screens" )

the link is here: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4055016-1-1.html

The bottom picture of the 2 screens is the example which they ACCEPT as a problem screen (yellow tints).

PLEASE POST YOU LETTER AA, AB, AC AND TOUCHFRIMWARE AND IF YOU HAVE ISSUES OR NOT IN ORDER TO VERIFY THIS

THANKS

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deadsea:
Just contacted the local service centre. I can confirm that the first thing they ask is for that particular sequence.

"Please remove your back cover and read back the four letters under the model number LT26i"

I was going to try to live with mine when it suddenly went from super mild yellow tint at the bottom to full out yellow spots at top left, right and yellow tint down the entire right side. What the heck..... Couple of weeks before the parts come and another possible work week before i get it back. In the meantime i can't flash stuff onto it!!! Or at least i better not...

Oh and on topic. Ver 7, AAAB

I cant understand why they just won't replace the devices.. Its not our fault and we did not ask for it.. Like everyone i cant afford to be phoneless for 2 weeks plus wich means no repare ?? HTC doesnt make a problem out of manufacturing problems and gave people a new phone if they experience the coating problem. Isnt there a way we can demand a new phone all together or something ? Like a petition or something ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I agree totally

People have bought a brand new faulty handset and are then expected to give it up for upto 2 weeks. I have been in touch with both phones4u where I got it and Sony and both have offered to repair it but wont offer a temporary or replacement while I'm inconvenienced with no phone. Great customer service and support from both................ my arse.

I need to think whether I'm prepared to put up with it or sell it, other people who had it repaired or swapped are saying the new phone is the same. :mad:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dariomario:
I got mine last month at phones4u also. I have the yellow titn, and I contacted phones4u first, they said they will fix it in they repair center but as we all know this is not possible, so I contacted soy, they said they will repair it also at their center, so I have sent them (to sony) the phone today so I will let you know how that worked after I get a news from them. Better 2 weeks without a phone than 1-2 years with a faulty one. Anyway, I dont think it will be more than 1 week until they will send me a replacement
