Hi, I think I may have bricked or softbricked my xperia mini (excuse my noob)

when installing froyobread I forgot to do the factory reset (and back up) and went straight to rebooting however ever since then I've had this problem:

www youtube com/watch?v=jPQIS19ndRY (sorry not allowed to post links yet and not sure what this is called, bootloop?)

For some reason pressing the back button repeated doesn't get me to xrecovery, (the first time I did it I went thru flash tool which I can no longer do because I cant turn my phone on and therefore I can't enable debugging)

This also prevents me from connecting to PCC

What I tried:

tutorial step 6 ...but its been hours and so far that doesnt not seem to be working either. This is what comes up when I tried

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
You don't need USB Debugging to use Flashtool. Turn your phone off (take off battery if you have to), plug the USB cable in your PC, then press and hold volume down button and plug the microUSB into the phone. You'll be in flashmode.

If you can't use flashtool anyway, repair with PC Companion.

My device keeps on losing network. inside the house I can't get no network.. anyone knows what the problem could be?
[General Topics] matlt:
I just got myself an acer a200 thinking it would be a vast improvement to my original galaxy tab. I use mx video player both on my galaxy tab and on my galaxy s2, and they can play any video I have. Even the old galaxy tab plays 1080 videos without skipping a beat. For some reason the a200 will not let me select hw mode, and the sw mode is not capable of playing the video. There has to be a fix for this?
[General Topics] eksasol:
Unfortunately, you bought the A200, which still use the old Tegra 2. I used like 4 different tablets with that cpu, its just not that great for HD video, but should manage HD h.264.

If you are good with flashing, what you should do is sell the A200 and get yerself a Kindle Fire and install CyanogenMod9 to it. Kindle Fire use an OMAP 4 cpu like the Galaxy Nexus, but at 1GHz. Tegra 3 devices would do well too, but I think those tablets are currently more expensive.

"All OMAP 4 come with an IVA3 multimedia hardware accelerator with a programmable DSP that enables 1080p Full HD and multi-standard video encode/decode." Due to this, my Nexus play HD MKV videos smoother than the Galaxy Note which has a higher frequency Exynos.
[General Topics] matlt:
I've just realized that it plays straight DVD rips perfectly smooth. not sure how this makes sense when it can't play 1080 and struggles on 720

The little upper LED does work for me, I'm charging and it is on right now.

I think he means when you have a missed call then the upper little LED is replaced by the transprent bar LED

The notification LED works fine on my Xperia P, even after installing the app. Maybe it's because I have Light Flow controlling it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lord Takyon:
My led doesn't flash until I unlock the phone :-(

Notification bar has same behaviour. Basically no visual notifications if screen locked, kind of counter productive but I will test next version too.

The led bar lights goes off and i am having difficulty while finding those Dots, any work around???

Can the developer of this app add a function to keeps the lights on whenever required? I could not find emailId in play store..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
There are many things Sony do that are hard to fathom. To be honest notification light is nothing compared to releasing phones in q3 of 2012 with 2010 gingerbread. That one for me takes the biscuit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hornet331:
Because you have a extra notification led?...

Why bother with illuminating 3 leds when there is a dedicated one... sometimes I think people just whine so they can post a message.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah but then you have to keep pressing the camera button.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rabangus:
Doesn't work on the Xperia S - that's my main gripe with this app at the moment - makes it almost unusable for me as you can't tell if the bar is flashing in bright light.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gizzmoffm:
This app is actually using an API by Sony... so far regarding lack of brain :p

I guess they did not use it because three bright LEDs may just drain too much power... and ppl here would whine about it

ONLY SMS AND MISSCALLS? Dude we're in mid 2012 who uses sms these days? Frankly it would be better if it had an option to be customized to whatever app we want (fb,whatsapp, viber) these are the apps that really need that lovely illumination bar light to blink!!

Sorry guys, my phone was on for about 4 hours and I got worried but my contacts r back
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Hey guys.

New to the Rezound but not HTC. Had the Thunderbolt before and was rooted.

The way I understand this is that the Rezound has a locked bootloader so we can't just simply root. Right? Also, if I just unlock the bootloader, I can't flash New radios just ROMS right until I'm S-OFF?

Is there any other way than the wire trick to get S-OFF? Not a big fan of poking the internals of my phone. Lol

Just got this phone yesterday.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Your understandin is spot on.

The wire trick really isn't that bad. It intimidated me for a while, I bit the bullet and did it without issue.

Sent from my evolving Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Honestly dude, i was one of the first to go for S-off simply because i was sick oh waiting. I wouldnt let myself unlock as i knew i had the possibility of causing warranty issues and didnt want to risk it. S-off is really easy to do though and VERY nice to have once you get it right. Makes flashing roms a ton easier and i just find it convenient as you never have to worry about if you are LOCKED, UNLOCKED, or RELOCKED, its just, LOCKED S-off. also, you can downgrade if you want to if you are S-off but not just unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
The wire trick is so ridiculously easy, its not poking around your hardware like people make it sound like, it's like pushing a paper clip into the reset button of an old tech device, just wrap the clip in electric tape where you'll touch it

[HTC Rezound] antp121:
First, Welcome! id say we are a pretty welcoming community.

as for you questions, id say do the s-off. its easy pls the benefits never stop. its actually extremely easy. it takes a couple times because of timing but still.

then id say try out one of the new RUU's for ics. try it out get a good feel. if its too hot or you have issues, ruu back to gb.

for GB roms, id suggest Innfibilis 1.4 (slaughtered that name).

for ICS, id have to suggest nils or con rom if you like the latest leak sense 3.6, pkmn or newts one XxX or RezROM S4 for sense 4. as for senseless, try CleanRom developer addition or bamf senseless.

we do not have true AOSP roms as of now but they will be soon. hope you enjoy your new phone!
[HTC Rezound] draya1986:
So you can S-off without unlocking the bootloader? I don't have a rezound but my girlfriend does. Looking into the easiest way to do S-off and be able to flash the new ICS leak. I wanted the option to go back to GB if the gf didn't like the new update.
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
I appreciate the answers guys.

I'm gonna give it a whirl tonight. Will anyone be on tonight that might be able to walk me through it if there are questions? Or is there an active IRC for the Rezound? We had one by Team BAMF on the Thunderbolt.
[HTC Rezound] Rudy_Ruettiger:
+1 agreed it was vary easy. i had trouble until i decided to use a paper clip. paper clip is the way to go.
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Ok. Well I've got S-Off and still have my recovery but when I'm in the bootloader menu it says "Locked" instead of "Unlocked" like it did before.

Do I need to re-unlock the bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Nononono it doesn't matter anymore! You can have locked as long as it says s-off, you are fine. You can do anything now! Downgrade, flash boot images, change splash screens, etc. Enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Got it. Well I went back and re-unlocked the bootloader.

I can install any ROMs and do everything with the exception of new kernels with just S-OFF?

So would it be safer to go back and lock the bootloader? lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
It really doesn't matter. There's no point in unlocking or locking. And you can flash anything now. Most new roms are made for s-off(have the boot image inside) so you dont need to do anything.
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Got it.

Well I'm almost done downloading RezRom w/Sense 4.0.

I appreciate the help Ant! The process was similar to the T-Bolt but the Bolt had an unlocked bootloader already so it saved me that step.

I'm gonna like Sense 4.0 I think plus it'll make my friends jealous. lol :D:D
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Haha. No problemo. If you have anymore questions you know where to find me. And I like sense 4 its purtty
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
It's definitely purty!
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
You do have to actually unlock it, but when you S-off it goes away back to locked. But yes, to flash the ics leak you do need s-off to get back.
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
I'll add this for others. This was just my experience though.

After unlocking my bootloader and getting S-OFF, my SD card was not wiped like I was warned.

Maybe I got lucky but it worked for me!! Lol
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
No they removed that. Now it backs up and replaces the sd. At first, you would lose you files and have some problems with mounting and stuff.
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
Reading this just makes me want to try to. S-off again, but my last experience is still fresh in my memory
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Hey man. This was my first attempt at the s-off method. The wire trick took three attempts but wasn't hard.

Very glad I have it now!!
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Haha. I was so paranoid. I was actually kind of glad it was going to erase it because I went two months without an SD card when I had the iPhone 4. Wanted to start fresh. I'm still gonna delete a lot of that crap anyway. Lol
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
S-offing the Rezound is actually pretty easy. The only difficult part is getting the timing just right and I'm no expert and it did take me a couple trys before I got it right. All I did was I went to my nearest O'Reillys auto parts store and bought me some red insulated wire http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.ore...insulated+wire_-1_1810&keyword=insulated+wire

and ill be honest, I was a lil intimdated by this s-off procedure but it was as easy as breathing. When you run the s-off program (ControlBear) don't do anything till it says "do the wire trick NOW"

That is where I had difficulties because my timing was off. Just make sure you have 100% battery charge before s-offing.

EDIT: make sure to get 22 gauge. I was a noob and got 16 and because of that, I had trouble getting the wire into the hole. But Alas, I did get it done. I got S-off.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ONeils:
Hi all,

Ever since i started using CM7 on my DHD the LED being used for notifications changed from the right one (next to the speaker mesh wire) to the left one (underneath the speaker mesh wire) (i didn't even know there was one before that time :confused: )

Since i'm working as a carpenter my phone (and especially this mesh wire) gets all clogged up with dust pretty much all the time which makes it very hard to see the notification LED underneath it. Is there any way to change it back to it's original LED on the right of the speaker?? I'd prefer a change in command lines in stead of using an app.

Using Cyanogenmod 7.2 now (which works perfect i must say, but can't wait on ICS!)

Any help is much appreciated

PS. Anyone know why it changed from right to left? My guess is because the LED's on a 4G are positioned differently.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ONeils:
Euhh... Anyone??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
You are right. I didn't even remember there was a led on the right. If I don't get back to you by sunday it means I haven't found an answer. You got me curious about this as well.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK007:
correct, it is NOT an led, it is a sensor. it is how it tells if your face is next to the phone or not. start a phone call to your voice mail or whatever, and cover and let off of that spot with your finger, it will activate and deactivate the screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ONeils:
Ahh yes of course! Thanks guys!! It's just when i was using the original rom with Sense i could have sworn the LED was on the right. :p Hihi Silly me.

2- Is the update mandatory?

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
It works and is installable on all devices without rooting. But theres just no content.

It would not let me get in without updating. It was only for the store, not for the launcher so I doubt it would affect the games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
The USA store opened up for xperia s and ion in this update (not sure about play). If changed the build.prop under final property's (all R800 to LT26i) or what ever model over in the USA you could use your U.S psn account.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Its not open on the Play, at least not the Verizon one. If its open on others I will be attacking my build.prop at my earliest convenience. Then sending ANOTHER nastygram to Verizon and Sony....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] agraceful:
It's not. Hence why there is NO content because there is NO version for the usa yet. Yes changing the build.prop will work, but still does nothing as far as anything in the us region is concerned lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
By changing the build.prop to the other devices you will be able to see games. They set out a collection of games on the store for different devices. The collection from the play and the S ot ion is different. (example. You can buy g-police on the play UK but not the xperia s UK) also the tablet has had access to the psn USA store for months going back to last year.

Ps if you wondering the games brought will have the play controls. It's yes it will state what devices it works on in the description. The apk files are all the same.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] w4lkm4n:
wrong post ;p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] agraceful:
I guess you need to do some research because there isn't an american psn store yet. You just seem to be talking and making no sense now thus proving my point that one for NA does not exist yet. Good try though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CloudShepherd:
With this update, the ps store has opened up to Americans who own a xperia s and ion

[HTC Sensation XL] Rachorid:
Hi, i've a problem, but i'm sure there's any solution.

I wanted to update CWM to 5.8.3.1 (recovery_1.28.img). But there are lots of errors. It can't open or mount /cache and it can't also mount USB.

I installed lots of custom ROMs before, and everytime i'm installing one, I format EVERYTHING and mount the USB Storage and copy a ROM.zip to sdcard.

But i can't mount it and now i've a "empty" phone. I can relock or unlock the bootloader, can go into the bootloader/fastboot/recovery.

When I'm installing a RUU, there's a Bootloader Version Error 140. I think that's because it's a 2.3.5 RUU. (..Runnymede_O2_DE)

What can I do? How can I do it?

Flash it via fastboot, recovery adb?

Downgrade HBoot?

Sometimes there was a "Remote: signature verify fail" error.

Please help me.
[HTC Sensation XL] benjamin.j.goodwin:
Adb the ROM.zip to your SD card. And then flash it :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Rachorid:
Thank you for your answer :)

But,

how can i move it? (i can only use adb recovery)

I just clicked on "choose zip from sdcard" and CWM says "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" :(

I'm sure it worked three hours before, but i tried out so many and nothing worked, i wipe everything again, if something happen i'll get back :)
