Mobile network missing and other strangeness

Hello folks! Been lurking here for a while, preparing for the day when my wife got so annoyed with the slowness of her Pro on stock that she'd let me set her up with something faster... Sadly, all is not going as planned. Hopefully you lovely people can help me out.

Unlocked bootloader and rooted phone with the help of Mr Alejandrissimo - no problems

Flashed [PRO][KERNEL] LuPuSv16 [LINARO 4.7.3][STOCK ICS) - no problems

booted to CWM, did a full backup - no problem there

did a full wipe and installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2.zip - here's where things started going wrong

Everything looked ok at first and the Aroma installer seemed fine, but when the ROM booted, I had no WiFi; it just wouldn't turn on. Also my network wouldn't download Internet and MMS settings and claimed I was Roaming. No problem, that's in the FAQ, just power off the phone and reflash Lupus, restart. Well, now I have Wifi, but no mobile network access - it won't even find a mobile network.

When I gave up and restored the stock ROM, everything worked just fine.

I'm quite puzzled, and not finding similar problems by searching. Any suggestions?

You have to flash WiFi modules again after flashing the rom

Look at this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827390 look where says WiFi modules and flash the file.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowfist23:
WiFi modules are included in Lupus v16 - reflashing the kernel got me the WiFi back, my issue at that point was the lack of mobile network connectivity.

More careful reading has suggested to me that I need to flash the baseband before the kernel, which seems weird since I already have the kernel installed and it works fine on the stock ROM. Still, I'm downloading the flashtool and baseband 77 and I'll try that I guess...

edit: I already have baseband 77 installed, do I really need to reflash it?

You can try, nothing to loose, if still not working, i would flash stock soft, then puts lupus16 and install uhd, i had problem with wifi with lower lupus

Keyboard layout

Hello! Sorry to bother you all or if this has been asked before. You see, lately I wanted to root my Xperia Pro (which was bought from the Middle East) but it was on .62 firmware and I flashed it to an earlier model but the problem is that in the process my keyboard layout was messed up and some of the letters and symbols switched. I didn't worry much because I found that I can flash an Arabic keyboard later, so I carried on and installed the cm10 rom and then installed the Arabic keyboard layout, but now everything is in Arabic, and if I try to install another keyboard layout it gets messed up again, could someone help me, please? I just want use the English keyboard with the Arabic layout just like it was before on the stock. :/ I'm ready to just unroot everything and go back to stock, but I can't find a Middle Eastern firmware for my keyboard. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! :/

EDIT: I'm also ready to just use a rom which supports my layout with English at the same time, preferably a Jelly Bean based one, but begger cannot be choosers >.<

how to put xperia pro to recovery mode

i updated my xperia pro to android ics and dicover that the symbols in its physical keyboard is scrambled.....i discoverd that it isnt in qwerty latin and the only way to solve it is by installing a new keyboard layout with cwm recovery.....so i rooted and then unlocked bootloader and also installed clockwork recovery via play store....but still i cannot go to recovery mode...plase help.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seventhworl:
what you want to do its either install cwm trough recoverX or just flash a custom kernel with cmw in it, either way before you do that maybe try accesing recovery it by pressing volume down button when phone boots.

Hi, I'm new here so I'm not allowed to post in the relevant threads.

I have a question about the Xperia pro keyboard layout.

I've got CyanogenMod 10 on my phone. When I installed it, the keyboard became latin-only, so I installed Cyrillic from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690889

So now I have only cyrillic letters on my hw keyboard, which is also bad. Of course, I can switch the layouts in settings, but it is too complex compared to just pressing the globe key (I often write technical posts in Russian/Ukrainian containing English words or code).

What I want:

1. Get the globe (368) key to work.

I've checked the .kl file, it does say "SWITCH_CHARSET".

So where should I look to make it work?

2. Get the Sym key to work.

Ideally, I would like to edit the symbols in the pop-up.

Oh, and I've tried the file from this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33718354&postcount=13 (found in the previous comment to this post).

3. Edit the cyrillic keyboard to contain special characters for the Ukrainian language.

I've tried to edit the pm8058-keypad.kcm file, but it seems to make no difference.

To get it on the phone, I replaced the original file in the cyrillic zip from the thread mentioned above, and flashed it. CM10 seems to have no adb support.

If anyone has any ideas, please help. I don't even need a working solution, just a fresh look on the problem, this would already be enormous help! :)

MK16i to MK16a conversion, is this possible?

Hi users, I got a Sony Ericsson Xperia pro MK16i for my brother who lives in Venezuela (I used a Evo 4G), the problem is, beside the bureaucracy problems to send something to Venezuela, that he really need is the other model, MK16a, is a difference in the 3G network that they work, the MK16i works in HSDPA 900 / 2100 and the MK16a works in HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800, my bad, I didn't know that before send the phone to him.

He did a research on internet and found a tutorial to flash a firmware from the MK16a to the MK16i and voila! you have now a MK16a, now I read that tutorial (in spanish), it looks really easy, very simple, but I haven't found anything about that here, and for me, if the information is not here (xdadevelopers), I can't trust it, can you give me an advice?, I have done a lot of things with y EVO, but nothing like this, so not sure if really changing the firmware will change how the 3G works, thanks a lot...

Can someone help me pls.

I dropped my Xperia pro a while back and after some days it started malfunctioning. The LCD screen is OK but at first the lower part of screen (bottom part near app drawer) stopped accepting touch and now after 2 weeks or so complete lower half of screen is not responding to any touch. :(

What can be the issue.

Is replacing LCD screen the solution or is there an issue with touch screen digitizer.?

Kindly help.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotiron2004:
Seems that the digitizer is having the problem. I am assuming that you are still able to view everything on the screen at that lower part.

So, I guess that you can solve the problem by replacing the digitizer. If you can find one.

Replacing the whole touch screen would be a costly affair though.

Still, It would be better if you get a first hand opinion from a hardware repair expert.

Yeah, there is no crack on the screen. Everything is perfectly visible. but half of the screen aint working/ responding to touch.

on ebay, the digitizer for mk16i is costing abt 30$ while the LCD screen is costing 10$.

does the new LCD screen come with digitizer by default ?

(New Replacement LCD Screen Display for Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16 MK16a MK16i ) = 10-12$ on ebay

(Touch Screen Digitizer Glass For Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16 MK16a MK16i Black) = 30$ on ebay.

which one to buy.. or both to buy ?

Have you asked any mobile service guy about this problem of yours?

Just ask the service guy about the problem. And how much would he charge for the repair. He will explain the problem to you then you can make an excuse to get it repaired later etc. Make your own decession in what to buy based on your discussion from that person.

Soft bricked xperia pro

Hey guys, thanks for your possible help.

I have rooted and unlocked bootloader for my xperia pro,

before I flashed anything (when my phone's starting properly), i went into ROM manager and might have installed CWM again when it says on the bottom both CWM and TWRP are already installed, not sure if this caused the problem. And at this point I could not enter recovery/fastboot mode with hardware key, downloaded an app to try that didn't work either

Anyhow, I flashed the custom LUPUS kernal using flashtool in fastboot mode, (http://xdaforums.com/show...?t=1885068)the 720p one, as i could enter fastboot mode using flashtool,

phone rebooted and went into CWM v5,

I then proceed to delete all the cache, and other stuff as said on the PAC-MAN thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1924719,

then flashed the PAC-MAN rom (i downloaded the new Update OTA Build-9 LOVINS P.A.C one, not sure if this ROM included gapps as the one above said it does), flashed gapps (i'm not sure if i flashed the one in the PAC-MAN thread or this other one http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2237705 which isn't actually for Pro i persume, this might have caused the problem)

After that I picked the option to shut down phone because I realized I forgot to put the custom boot animation (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1968236, HDPI one is that the correct one?) in the sd card, so i shut down phone and pulled battery and sd card out, put the zip in sd and put it back in phone. Then I started phone and it's stuck on the LUPUS logo. It vibrates twice and shows blue light.

None of the volume up/down/menu key options work to enter any mode. But this was before I flashed kernal. I was able to enter fastboot with flashtool so i didn't really worry about it. And yes they do work, I adjusted the volume and pressed the menu key just yesterday.

Right now, I can enter fastboot mode via ADB using flashtool and I downloaded RecoverPro tool http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=27027547 and I can use it to enter CWM via USB cable. I'm not sure if this overwrote the possible multiple recovery images I had before? I had tried deleting cache and flashed ROM again using this method but it's still stuck at startup screen showing LUPUS Logo, even when I had flashed the custom boot animation it still shows the original logo.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks a lot guys for reading everything. Please advise what I should do and how I should do it if I'm able to fix my phone and attempt to flash the PAC-MAN rom again.

Yes you need to unlock your bootloader first.. then you need to flash the fxp kernel and then install the update package via CWM..

Installing baseband 64 is optional but it would give you a better signal reception and battery life with fxp kernel and rom..

If you had firmware .64 before flashing any custom ROMs, the there is no need to install baseband 64 because it is already installed with stock ROM. Basically, do not flash a baseband unless you know what you are doing. Whatever the ROM you flash, baseband does not matter so much unless the dev of the ROM mentions it.

Seems that the ram management is badly implemented in the rom. The games are probably eating up All the spare ram. Which ultimately makes the rom to kill the games itself to free the ram. And in some cases as yours the mobile reboots.
