Ok, I'll try posting in this thread... iyokan charger/mobile data trouble.

Hey, everybody.

Had some trouble recently, after a second install of CM10 FreeXperia (version 244) on my Xperia Pro phone. Suddenly, I noticed that the device won't charge when I plug it in (unless I turn off the phone), and that mobile data isn't working anymore. And I'm kinda clueless as to where to go from here. Here's the story;

I've had the device rooted for a month or so, and a few days ago decided to switch to the FreeXperia rom.

Did an install, everything worked fine. Had it running nice & smooth for 3 days, no problem whatsoever, then got an impulse to switch DPI settings. Downloaded "LCD Density Modder", set DPI to 220, and the device was now stuck at blackscreen during boot.

I decided the best option for me would be to reinstall the FreeXperia rom, get everything clean again, and start over without fussing with DPI settings. So i booted into CWM recovery, did a wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, installed the FreeXperia 244 zip again (aswell as correct gapps), and had everything up and running again!

Atleast that's what I THOUGHT... but by evening, I discovered:

1. the phone wouldn't charge when i plugged it in.

Tried several different chargers, none works. HOWEVER, the phone recharges it's battery when i turn it off.

and,

2. mobile data isnt working, only wi-fi.

No settings changed, looked them through and couldn't find anything obvious (as far as my knowledge goes).

Making calls and sending sms still works, though.

So, I'm a bit stuck here. I'd be extremely glad if someone could give me a few pointers, or instruct me how to do a "proper" re-install (since i assume my way of re-installing things caused these problems).

Please, help!!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seventhworl:
Right, I am not expert and I can be wrong but since you have nothing to loose maybe it be worth to reinstall oryginal software with flashtool, and kernel (if you wish - there is one prerooted for our phone somewhere on forum)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malte_j:
I guess that would be an option i might have to try further down the road... Thank you for your suggestion. I would like to avoid the detour via stock rom though, if i can.

What I tried again now was:

1. wipe everything

2. flash new kernel

3. wipe everything

4. install rom & gapps

5. wipe everything again

However, the problem remains exactly the same.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malte_j:
solved!!!!!

Managed to fix it now through:

1. charging issue resolved itself by doing the aforementioned wipe-install-wipe procedure, and

2. internet issue was resolved by manually entering APN (it had somehow been erased).

so, we've got ourselves a happy ending, here. thanks for the suggestions, though :)

Hi,

I have been running FreeXperia but didn't had that king of problems with games, but didn't play those specific two games.

I'm now running LegacyXperia CM 11 ( KitKat) and runs great for everyday use.

Hi,

I'm not sure what do you mean by port, I'll assume you are reffering to a custom ROM.

LegacyXperia is porting CM10 to CM11 (KitKat) for the Pro.

You can give it a try as it rung pretty good

Hi! Currently my Xperia Pro is like this:

ROM: Ultimate HD (ICS) (first and only ROM I've flashed so far)

Bootloader: Locked

CWM: With X-Parts (so whenever I wipe /system it will be gone)

I want to change the ROM and I'm looking at Super Jelly Bean, but I don't really know how to proceed. I know I have to unlock the bootloader, but I have doubts. If I unlock the bootloader, will I lose everything? What will happen to CWM? More or less what are the steps I must follow, considering my case?

I hope someone can help me a bit. :)

Edit: OK, I think I understand better now. I unlock the bootloader, flash the provided kernel, boot into recovery and wipe what I must and just flash the ROM. I was unsure since I read I'd lose CWM once I wiped /system, but l just have to install CWM again with x-Parts after I flash a new ROM. I'll try when I have time. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attitude.SSJ:
Custom kernels have built in recovery.. Once you flash custom kernel there is no need of xparts and all...also you won't lose recovery when you format system...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnnS:
I see! Well, I'd lose it if I used x-Parts, or so I read in the official thread.

But I guess I won't need it anymore once I unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel.

Thank you for your help. :)

Edit: I just did it (unlock bootloader, flash kernel and new ROM) and I had no issues whatsoever. As Attitude.SSJ, the recovery is included with the kernel (I flashed Super Fusion). I'm really liking Super JellyBean. :)

I apologize for my bad english.

Currently I'm on SuperleggeraV7 and Lupus Stock gB+iCs-v16.

I've got a problem with my statusbar: sometimes, seemingly without reasons, notify icons disappear from it: all that I see is the signal icons, the clock and a network speed indicator (that before wasn't visible). The only way to restore my notifications is to reboot.

Failing to understand why, I factory-resetted my device and reinstalled all my apps, but the problem is still here.

pull down the satus bar when you see all icons (alarm,clock,signal,etc) press menu button and go on system UI preferences after on first tab you will see an option 2 fingers tap disable it and your problem must be solved

note:if you do not have sistem ui preferences search for systemUI by SERAJR on xda and push systemuisettings.apk on your system.

Seems that your problem is Rom related as it gets solved when you change Roms. Stock ICS and kernel arent the best when it comes to battery especialy if you have loads of background apps running. When i used to be on stock ICS i had to charge my phone at least once every 6-8h.

Hi, I've read that the safest way to uninstall built in apps is to install a custom ROM, but from what I've read on here installing a custom ROM is anything but safe and might brick my device. Also in most ROMs various hardware is not working and functionality is missing. Why should I install a custom ROM? I've read the safest thing is CyanogenMod, but the latest stable version is for GB so there might be compatibility issues with newer apps.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CygnusHyoga:
Why should I install a custom ROM?

My simply answer is more lighter, faster than even stock ICS or GB.

See my signature for Iyokan, there's link for tutorial step by step to get KK 4.4.4

Many thanks for Mike and 3andala of course :good:

Seems like i can't do any of this. Even if I follow the steps my phone simply starts charging even if I hold the menu button while connecting it to the USB cable, which is already connected to the computer. Also saw the topic about KK 4.4.4 and realised I have no idea how to "1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery" and that's just the first step.

So I suppose since I'm not an advanced enough user I shouldn't be doing these things. What exactly are the risks when deleting a built in app from a rooted phone that makes it riskier than installing a custom ROM?

Hi everybody,

I own an Xperia Pro which I

rooted

successfully few days ago with eRoot,

bootloader

still

locked

and I have still the stock Sony ROM, GB 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62). The phone is unbranded and has IT (Italy) customization (1249-7782_R12D).

I would like to store my original ROM 4.0.2.A.0.62 but the problem is I can't find the 1249-7782_R12D customization anywhere so here the question:

I found through Xperifirm few 4.0.2.A.0.62 releases, for example the 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1249-8126_R13D) which is the UK unbranded customization. Is it possible collect from my phone the IT customization data/files and repack/rebuild them with the 4.0.2.A.0.62 UK release in order to end with a real 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1249-7782_R12D) IT customized and make an FTF of it?

I have already used ADB + romdump and dumped the system partition of the phone. Could I use the files inside

system.tar

that I obtained and "integrate" them in the UK customized ROM in order to get an IT customized ROM?

I know that in the worst case I could do a nandroid backup installing CWM recovery, but first to do this I would like to inquire other way first.

I hope that my question is clear enough, if not I could try explain again.

Thanks
