Xperia S Issues. Bad Flash

Hi, I read the 'existing users' installation instructions on the Sspeed ICS rom and installed the rom without installing the ics rom and kernel (I was tired). When booting, I go in a bootloop with the doomkernel screen. I can access recovery fine.

When holding vol+ and connecting to PC the phone goes back into it's bootloop and does not boot into fastboot.

When holding vol- and connecting to PC the phone flashes the green led and then boots into bootloop.

If I wait until the phone vibrates and lights up blue I can press the button to access recovery. I thought I could then just copy a gb rom over using USB mount but it is not detected on the PC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Try flashing stock ICS rom with flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tucka20:
Thanks but like I say fast boot and flashmode don't work so I can't access this option
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:
I have the same problem too... I was hoping it would just work, but apparently it doesn't it needs a base rom.....I'm at work at the moment so i cannot fix my phone(i flashed it while at work which i shouldn't have done...) i noticed you can put it into fast boot in recovery - go to reboot options then fast boot can you see if that works
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tucka20:
Hi thanks for your reply. I've tried going to fastboot

from recovery and I get a blue flashing light for one flash then it boots up again. Am I able to do anything at that point?

Glad I'm not the only stupid one on here :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:
im not the expert here but I have bricked other phones before but never an xperia phone before. I have been reading up, the doom kernel has some mounting options, try to mount the sd card as mass storage so pc can send files accross to the phone. It should be mount and storage menu -> mount usb storage, then leave it on that menu and connect to computer, see if that works
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tucka20:
Hi is this by the mount USB storage optuon ? I tried that and it wasn't detected on the PC. I could try another PC later. Recovery went into mount mode fine but nothing happened on the PC. Not even a blank drive which I know some people have had
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
If it blinks the LED for a second and reboots, that means that you don't have the drivers. Install drivers that are bundled with flashtool and try again. Or use Linux / OSX.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tucka20:
I've used the laptop I'm trying it on for unlocking the boot loader and rooting. Maybe something corrupted the drivers. Will try on my Linux machine when I get home.

Thank you for all the help so far
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androxyde:
Just Press VolUp and Power button until you get (one vibration followed by 3 consecutive vibrations) ... it will mean phone is shutdown.

Once shutted down, you will be able to press VolDown while plugging phone to PC and it will enter into flashmode.

Then you will be able to flash a FTF using flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:
doesn't work...after the 3 beeps i let go and the screen turns black but then the boot loop happens again, i cant turn the phone off
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tucka20:
Hi, I do get the 3 vibrates and the phone stays off but instill got the individual quick flash then boot up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:
Apologies mine stays off too, i just had it on charger so it turns on again after the 3 beeps, once off the charger it will turn off....I will be trying stuff when i get home.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
This will work, cause I had a similar issue a while ago

Good luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alikalix:
Hello. I've got familiar problem. My phone blacked out after one day having about 35 % battery full. I was trying to reset it by holding power and volume up buttons - nothing happened. Just once showed up Sony logo but then again black nothing. Then it vibrate 3 times quickly and from that time it is shutted down, won't turn on even in flashmode. LED is not working too. I was asking for advice in local store servise and guy told me, that new phones have to be at least 30 min on the charger. So it's here now for hour, no result. :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] killcam3000:
Just fixed this issue.

Follow these steps

1.hold vol up + power until phone vibrates 3 times.

2.open flash tool and point towards your stock file.

3.hit okay

4.wait for flash tool to prepare the files then it will prompt you to connect device in flash mode( vol down + power)

5.wait for it to finish. Unplug reboot and there you go fixed...

Hope this helps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alikalix:
Cant do that, because PC dont recognize the phone. Phone has just red LED, thats all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bin4ry:
Use the bundled wallcharger!!! not a PC, pc has too less power to charge it now!

After wallcharger is placed hold vol+ and power for a few seconds until 3 vibrations, then let the phone on charger for atleast 2 hours, if all is good phone will bootup to the "charging animation" ;)

Regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waiflih:
Something similar happened to me. I have the bugged version of chargemon (only can charge with phone on) and accidentally discharged completely. The phone didn't boot, didn't charge and didn't do the 3 vibrations thing. So I put the battery off, conected the wall charger, putted the battery and it booted :D

It's really easy to remove the battery, you just need to be careful
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alikalix:
I think I have the same problem. I wont risk loosing warranty, so Im going to send it back.

I was charging it all the time with normal charger, not by PC. ;)
[HTC One V] dajc12:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejong12:
Hey XDA,

I get a voice of a woman speaking when I'm editing the home and menu screen. She says: "They workings patch in a starts to open??" at the home screen and "They workings patch in a hue fate menu open" at the menu. I can't really make out what she is saying, but how can I disable this? It began this morning when I picked up the phone. I've got it for three days now, and now it's behaving like this. A restart doesn't seem to fix it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm1110:
You need to check your accessibility settings and I'm guessing you have LightFlow? Try disabling that and hopefully it should resolve your problem! There seems to be a compatibility issue between Light Flow and the S3's TouchWiz, if you really like/want Light Flow (like I do), try installing an alternative Launcher such as Go. Hope this helps your problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
To disable that. Make sure talk-back is disabled in accessibility and also go to Apps->All-> and then disable Google text-to-speech and Samsung TTS. That should fix the problem.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
Anyone noticed how in ICS, some apps (I suspect its got something to do with the in built browser?) are rendering fonts small despite setting system fonts to large.

Examples include rdio, and national australia bank.

I tried changing the font size in system and font size (accessibility) in default browser, but nothing seems to affect certain apps like the ones above.

Anyone know of a fix, or found a DPI that doesn't break anything? reading old threads apparently changing DPI breaks things
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sman55:
I was hoping the fonts issue would be solved in ICS. System fonts are way too small such as under icons etc. It's slightly better in some apps that respond to the ICS changing font size option. User sk806 in the development section was working on this issue for HC but found it very complicated to change the font size at the system level.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
Thats the bit I don't get: how do we fix the apps that don't obey the system setting? Must be some kind of built in library or browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] proactix:
Good morming...I just was looking around under settings, and noticed under under the "about device", I dont have an option to check for updates. I remeber before seeing it, but would me being rooted have anything to do with that. I am enclosing a screenshoot to show what I mean. Any input on this would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kevintangi:
Very weird. Are u sure it cant be scrolled ?

Or maybe try full wipe ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Samsung remotely removed the option because they never plan on updating....

just kidding of course.

This happen to me a bunch of times, Its from removing a certain samsung .apk from /system/app/ not exactly sure which one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kevintangi:
Have u tried reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Graffiti Exploit:
I don't have one too. But I know I had one. I uninstalled the Update apk of some sort though so I know the reason why it isn't on mine. I also disabled it at Start-up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] proactix:
Thank you all for your input. I just checked and I still have the software apk installed. And i did a reboot and still dont have the option to check for updates, so I guess I will try a wipe and see what that does.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Have you tried simply turning on and off the "Auto update" option right below the "Update (Check for updates)"-listing?

That sometimes helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
I havent been on honeycomb for a long time, but I know this happened to me a few times, and I researched by deleting one samsung apk at a time. I think its the SamsungApps.apk or the samsung store, strangely enough.

there is a way to check for OTA's without this option in settings.. at least for gt-p6200 by going into service mode.. ( you can choose from 3 different OTA servers..; at least for my device I could)

cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] proactix:
Update: I tried doing a full wipe but didnt restore the update button, so I had to reflash the firmware with Odin, and have the update option back. I just wished I knew what I deleted that caused this and not happen again:-).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
Damn dude, it is very unlikely the ICS came as OTA update or samsung releases any HC OTA update before ICS. So you have all this trouble for a dead option.

[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Rom: Leedroid V2.1, Axiom S V1.0, TrickDroid V5.0(EU)

Kernel: stock HTC, Lowkernel v1.0.1, Vistuous v06

Apps & scripts: SetCPU, CPU Editor, Quick system info pro

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28214411#post28213828

There are also some other people who reported the same issue in this thread.

I'v tried all these kernels on three ROMs and they reported the same problem. The cpu1(2nd core) always keeps as ondemand mode. I've to use CPU Editor and enable Dual Core Mode to force it to other mode but after a reboot, it will reset to ondemand again. Sticky Enabled has no use here.

Another thing is after a reboot, the cpu1 frequency will also get a reset to the kernel's max. frequency supported. I've to set it again too.

Use Quick system info pro, it will shows out the current cpu0/1 governor and cpu scaling range very clearly.

SetCpu looks messed up on One S. The max frequency actually works as cpu1's max frequency while min frequency actually works as cpu0's max frequency.

It has no club to run the cpu1 ondemand at max all day long, it's just a waste of battery. On such a powerful S4 cpu, it's also non-sense to use ondemand governor as default. Interactive, Conservative, SmartassV2 are all better choices.

As a result, by using CPU Editor to lower the cpu1's speed and switch to other governor, my battery on daily use improved.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
What ROM / kernel version do you have?

Check Settings > Display > Lock Screen, Display Timeout, and Settings > Security > Screen lock, Auto lock (or something similar in your ROM version).

And you will have to unplug your phone from charger.

Charging will prevent the phone from going into deep sleep.

If the screen lock does not work, you may have to flash the ROM again to your phone.

Hi Guys,

Here you can find rooted stock kernels (without any modifications, only "insecure" root added) for CANADIAN versions of Galaxy S III (SGH-I747M).

This WILL rise your custom binary counter.

Insecure Means that adb daemon on phone is working as root. If you need more answers on what is insecure kernel, search over xda forums, the answer is there.

To flash, use latest ODIN (3.07) : Download Here!

*LATEST ROGERS* - I747MVLALE8

*LATEST BELL* - I747MVLALE8

*LATEST TELUS* - I747MVLALE8

Enjoy!

Instructions:

- Run odin
- unpack zip (you should see .tar file inside)
- point to this TAR file in odin as PDA
- click flash
- done

Well. That white menu is called BOOTLOADER. Just so you know for the future.

Don't panic, it is not bricked :).

First thing to do:

1.Shut down the phone completely.

2. Turn on your phone by holding down the buttons: Home + Power. -> This will lead you to your favorite recovery (AmonRA or CWM?)

3. When you are in recovery, go to the menu that says - "Wipe".

4. Wipe this things:

Data/cache

Dalvik cache

Sdcard ext (if having one).

Battery

Rotation settings

^ basically select to wipe everything that's in the respective menu.

5. Download a custom rom that suits you best.

6. Place that rom on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in a folder or whatever, just copy paste it in the sdcard).

7. Flash your rom

8. Reboot

9. Wait until the lights on the buttons goes on -> this is a sign that everything is working and the phone will boot every second.

10. Congrats :)

Oh, don't forget, some roms have lower boot times, so be patient when booting for the first time (it might take a few minutes).

Hit me back if this doesn't help you or you are having trouble!
