You need to flash a stock firmware first using flashtool then repair it with sus.maybe the firmware that you are using is corrupted,download another one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Swaggerboy1337:
niet

works legit
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saponature:
I think it might be an infinite loop in the MIUI loading that discharged my battery instantly. Plus the stock firmware did not boot for the first time so the offline charging is not working. So i have to find a charged battery in order to fix the phone.

Thanks guys for your help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Jesus that is horrible man, sorry to hear that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
in order to do that you have to unscrew your phone & believe me its not easy.

go to service center first if its available in your area.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gamesky:
i was once have that issue after unlocked my bootloader and flashed a kernel then it refused to turn on.. what I did was

- press the power + vol up key till 3 vibrations

- let it charge via power socket charger (no logo or whatsoever during that time..)

- reflashed to stock firmware using flashtool in fastboot mode

- pressed the power + vol up till 3 vibrations again

- turn on the phone
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saponature:
Tried that twice today, still the same :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saponature:
It has been 2 days without my phone and i'm frustrated :/

I talked to FXP and he couldn't help. I don't have Sony service center here. Ive tried everything till now:

Flashing different kernels

Erasing partitions through fastboot and reflashing them

Relocking and using SUS (although it didn't work, said i have modified software -_-)

Only thing i could realize is that sometimes the phone does not respond anymore to power button(it used to just vibrate), and the red led turns on when i plug it to either power or pc. After 10 mins the phone goes back to the way before(i can enter fastboot, flashmode and hard reset vibration without rebooting)

Is there a God for phones so i can make a sacrifice for?!

Relock bootloader first then fix it via sus
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saponature:
I flashed Doomlord's relock bootloader through flashtool. But sus still says Contains modified software.

Hello everyone

I want to start dual booting, I currently run stock 4.0.3 ICS samsung with siyah kernel 3.3.3d. Many roms out there include aroma installers and the like which includes kernels, I would like to know how to install such a rom (for example Resurrection remix) without bricking my phone or replacing my current kernel.

I did search through posts but couldn't find a comprehensive guide (dated) that explains the procedure thoroughly. I would highly appreciate if an expert of XDA can assist me, either with links or a basic guide.

Thanks in advance

post 1 for kernels upto 1.728

post 2 for kernels upto 1.836​

post 3 for kernels upto 1.512​

post 4 updates & requests​

This is originally Leedroids work​

ive just made slight changes and edited the script/code, with governors and frequencies etc, below in downloads, for both cores (more to add by request).

if you find that any of these changes are not working

delete .placeholder folder in system/etc/init.d/ , you will need a rooted explorer with the file system mounted rw. And/or remove/disable mpdecision (if your kernel supports it)

please go thank leedroid on this thread but dont post bug reports or errors to Leedroid, as this was edited by me, any faults in the code is my fault

this basically, is a bit of code, which pre sets dual core as locked/forced aswell as which governor, and at what frequencies your phone is set to be at, as standard. please decide on your "ideal" governor and frequency, as you will have trouble changing these inside android (as a noob) ,

if your desired governor or frequency isnt listed, again , give me a holler and il sort it for ya.​

1, back up your rom (advised)

2, download chosen zip

3, in recovery, install chosen zip

4, reboot

5, no step 5, thats it, youve done it

to check, confirm and change settings, i recommend using (click me) <<< this here, very lightweight, easy to use, and changes are instantanious, aslong as they are not been conflicted by previous init.d files

if you would like alternate settings, or governors, give me a holler with kernel info and and il see what i can do​

ok to start and ask a stupid question

ICS only ?

GB only ?

doesnt matter ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
It doesn't make a difference mate, works on jb, gb and ics
[HTC EVO 3D] cyndi.branam:
OP - might wanna make note..since a lot of people here use the "other" kernel.. may wanna inform them not to use these scripts w/ that kernel...and to select the settings they want in aroma

if people want to use these scripts, they should disable mpdecision via sysfs (directions posted on that other site in post 2 of the kernel thread)

this info will prevent a lot of issues with external processes attempting to control cpu1 on/offline
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Removing the .placeholder from init.d allows the CPU to be controlled manually, as opposed to chads preset settings

I'll be a little more specific in op later, thanks

Also mpdeciaion has been disabled in 3.1.8 , if I remember correctly

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gork1975:
Hi.

That is from the Sony Homepage and so my Phone tells me after updating to 4.1.B.0.587

Update your software to benefit from:

Quick dial allows you to quickly find the number you are looking for

Recent Apps button for clear overview of your applications

Quick responses for incoming calls

Optimized email application for multiple accounts

Improved control of your mobile data consumption

For me the "Contacts" now starts faster. Before update it needs 3-4 seconds to start. The LED for SMS doesn´t work. The whole system feels "snappier" for me.

I flash the ftf file with flashtools, did NOT wipe data and NOT wipe cache, after updating and restart let the phone settle down for maybe 10 minutes, then i used the rooting method like before (flash another Kernel, root with Doomlord´s tool and flash back the other kernel) to get root again. Voila. Now everything works fine.

I have flashed 587 ftf Arc S for almost 12 hours now. Impressions are:

- not much difference apps compared to 431

- lag is better but still not as good as GB

- opening app is faster. It's noticable.

- the main difference is... when in 431 I feel that I have to reboot my device after a day of use because of the lag... but in 587 there's no lag at all

Overall, great job sony. :thumbup:
