Help please!

Hi guys.

I tried to root my Xperia S, but i'm totally noob for that, and i made something wrong, and now it's extremely slow, camera can't work (you don't see anything). It's so slow, that i can't play any games, and even can't change home screens.

I just ran Bin4ry Root_with_restore, and did everything as it was said, but after rebooting everything was bad.

If you know how to fix this, please help me. No matter will it be rooted, for me it's just important that mobile work again.

ICS stock widgets on JB ???

Hi Guys,

I just installed JB cm10 v: FXP150-cm-10-20121209-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi on my Sony Xperia S and I was wondering if it is possible to install somehow the old ICS stock widgets. I really miss the weather and the gallery widgets.

I tried to install them from here: h##p://w#w.themobimag.com/get-xperia-styled-widgets-android-phone-apk-files/ Unfortunately... I see a msg that they are installed successfully and after that I can't find them anywhere ...

Do you have any idea how can I get them back? :confused:

PS: I'm sorry if there is such question in the forum, but I couldn't find it :(

Thanks in advance,

Adrian.

Xperia S Flashmode

Hey guys,

when i plug my device into Flashmode, fist everything is fine in Flashtool.

But after a few seconds my device will be disconnected and starts to boot,...

I allready tried some different drivers of Flashtool and others. Where is the Problem? Or is it even normal?(I dont think so)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dirtydevil783:
Apologies people if I am using this thread a little too much but I am desperately helpless as of this moment, and at the same time hell bent to flash my phone.

I am following these two guides

a) ht#tps://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/howto-install

b) h#ttp://androidlegend.com/xperia-s-update-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean-with-cyanogenmod-10/

Now i have unlocked the bootloader, and rooted and installed CWM successfully.

I guess i messed up the part where I reffered to the freexperia guide and flashed the boot.img kernel first instead of flashing the rom CM10.1. After that the phone becomes unbootable so I open it in fastboot mode and flash the recovery-nozomi.img and then somehow flash the kernel.sin that i got with the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 download rar. After that the phone boots into the previous Stock ICS rom.

Also I have transferred this file FXP150-cm-10.1-20121209-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip to the internal storage. But when in recovery mode i choose to install zip from sd card and select that file i get this error.

CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4

So you have a xperia s (nozomi) ?

Why are you trying to install a xperia T (mint)

Version on it?

For the time being there is no cm10.1 for Xperia S only cm10!

Flash stock again and then redo the procedure!

You can view a video tutorial on you tube!

Search for bluechipj on YouTube and go to his videos its in there its a step by step from how to unlock bootloader to how to install cm on a xperia!!

Ion LT28i bricked :(

Hi,

I'm sorry if this question has been answered.

I have a Sony Xperia Ion LT28i International Generic Ver running on ICS.

I rooted it using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and then unlocked it's bootloader using cmd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O52IeX93Jek

^ Basically, I followed all the steps here until 9:50.

I waited for the purple LED but it didn't come and xperia went on a bootloop. I flashed the wrong boot.img I presume. Or may have lacked something regarding the Kernel.

Since I was a noob, I panicked and did a hard reset. Now the Xperia is completely unreponsive. No LED, no screen, and it cannot turn on.

The Xperia cannot be detected by the computer.

I have it plugged into a wall charger for around 16+ Hours now and it has red LED light.

I've read these threads and so far, pc still cannot detect phone for flashing ftf.

Hi

JUst want to ask one question, I've installed a rom and it wont install, and after that I tried to run my backup but then it says MD5 mismatch, Is it possible to use fastboot to install a ROM I downloaded from my PC, I cant even use the MTP on my computer since it's only to stuck at the ROMS boot logo. By the way here's what Ive done so far:

- downloaded CM10

- extracted boot.img

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

- now I'm just stuck there and I'm still trying to find an answer to my problem if I could install a ROM through fastboot.

by the way I'm able to enter recovery but I do not have any backup that is working and I do not have any ROM to install since the one that I downloaded wouldn't install.

Hope someone can help me coaz I've tried looking for answers but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Folders that has a point in the start are hidden with Linux by deafult, and also when in Media mode in Windows. Either choose to show hidden files in Astro or change to Mass Storage in your phone (if you have root, there's an app for that, if not, then won't work) and look there. Try Solid Explorer.

buttons are not unresponsive, the buttons small little dots above the symbols so people tend to miss it. sometimes when phone is busy it might not recognize it but i normally get proper response.

what do you think is best silicone case that protect the phone from bumps and scratches and fits perfect, put some links from ebay?

The stock screen protector is a pain to get off but it also works 100%.

Idk about silicon cases but I love my rock quicksand case off eBay the back has a rough but soft feel and it wraps around the phone and keeps the screen off the surface if you lay it face down like I do, the case doesn't stain or scratch or anything like that
