[MENTION=5593361]xperia anfer[/MENTION], yes you can. Enter fast boot mode by switching of your phone. Hold up on your volume rocker keep it held and insert your usb into your phone. (you Need correct drivers etc on your pc and flash tool, there's a really great video on YouTube for this and more by MrSoTech I suggest you YouTube him and subscribe, if you do I doubt you will be here asking any more questions. Seriously hes fantastic.

@rattlsnk like the other but said, I think you need to flash the boot.img which is within the ( insert rom name here).zip which you flashed via cwm, unzip the file on your computer, within theunzipped folder there will be a boot.img flash that via flashtool, also check MrSotech on YouTube, a great wealth of knowledge for noob (meant in the nicest way) Xperia U users, also nexus 4 and nexus 5 I think lol

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Also I've tried a few roms my self, from gingerbread to kitkat. And without a doubt my favorite is TerraRom by bonosharm ics rom (I'm using this one now), my second favorite is kentinos jellybean rom.

Also if you look up Mrsotech he has reviewed terra rom on my recomendation, he agrees its a Fantastic rom.

U habe flashed the wrong rom pepper rom is for xperia sola.. Download the rom for your device and try again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] johngear:
i guess the problem was not the room that my phone would not turn on a while ago. the problem was it was my accidental mistake that the usb cord got disconnected to my phone, but anyways i have fixed it already by installing an official firmware for xperia p and used flashboot.

now i'll have to upgrade again my phone to jb because the firmware that i downloaded was ics.

If you disconnected after flashing then that shouldn't be a problem. It really was because the rom is for xsola, not P. It should be nypon isntead of pepper.

Hello Guys.

Yestreday i was flashed SlimKat Build4 but there was problem with kernel. Then my phone only vibrate but now nothing. And when I plug it for charging. I see only red diod. After few hours of changing battery is still cold. What I can do?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asd987:
Just flash munjeni CM11 kernel or from Nightly1(is same as CM11) and it will boot.

PS: Try nightly 3 it works better (flash munjeni kernel not kernel from ROM zip). Nightly 4 has wifi bug.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dasti555:
But I can't access to fast or flashboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asd987:
I have same problem, but I just flash that kernel. Try agian. Take out the battery from your phone. For fastboot push volme down and connect to PC.

PS: If doesn't work try charging your phone some time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dasti555:
I was trying it. It don't work.. But when i was flash that rom i had 20-30% of battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asd987:
Try put battery out of phone and wait 1 minute. Try charging your phone some time about half an hour.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dasti555:
You mean. Charging 30 minutes then unplug and again 30 minutes charging?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asd987:
No.

Remove battery from phone for about 1 minute. Then put battery in phone. Try if you can go to fastboot mode. If you can't go to fastboot mode ry charging your phone at least for half an hour.

PS:Sorry for my english.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dasti555:
And after half hour?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asd987:
Try again flash kernel.

Du you try remove battery for 1 minute and try go to fastboot?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
No. Sony patched the exploit with that version. Flash to a previous firmware and root it. Then OTA update to .54 and you should be okay.

Is your device rooted and unlocked? Are you 100% sure of this (I'm thinking of roooting - did you manage to install any app which requires root)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mykamran:
Hi guys.how can i increase my ram for xperia u?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AceDuff93:
You should root your phone, so that you can disable (if there are any) the apps that run in background which you don't need. For example, if you're not a Facebook user, it could be a really wise thing to disable Facebook background process.

Better than this, you could root your phone and unlock its bootloader, this way you can install a custom rom and a custom kernel, which will surely help your phone to breathe again (in terms of ram) and will also save more battery.

Hope it helps. ;)

SOLA stuck on Sony logo

Hello.

I've unlocked my bootloader + rooted my Xperia Sola .

The kernel I used was

Sola-DooMLoRD-AdvStkKernel-v01-test1

And now, when I start up my device, it is stuck on SONY logo and flashing ..

Is there any way to fix that?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GEKTHEBOSS:
Hey,you have only to flash another kernel from fastboot;)

It is a Rom stock.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
This behavior is called bootloop and most likely you will find solution in the corresponding thread. It seems that you have wrong kernel or didn't do full wipe of your phone...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Yeah my device was rooted, had installed titanium and android firewall.... Actually, my bootloader wasn't unlocked, apparently when flashboot says not rooted, it means not unlocked...

hi guys Im newcommer to android world. i got an xpsola and updated to 4 and then root with bin4ry.in command line it said success and your phone is rooted have fun and....but when i tried to bind my microsd with internal with directorybind, it says my phone is not rooted :(

how could I findout that my sola is rooted or not?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] or756:
Yeah I figured it out..

I just flashed rom stock and its fine now..

Download " Root Checker" from Play store, it should say whether its rooted or not .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
guys, i found out that I have .54 kernel and should root with flashing kernel to .10 firmware but i didnt know how to root kernel and not loosin my data! just give mi a tuto please and also i have ftf files and flashtool please tell me which i should choose and which not
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
First of all,do you have the stock FTFs of .10 and .54 f/w? If so, then open up Flashtool,select the FTF of .10 and untick all the options on top right side (ie,the "WIpe data,etc stuff) and tick all the options on bottom right (ie the exclude baseband stuff.etc) EXCEPT the "Exclude Kernel" option.. Easy way to flash Kernel alone without losing data.. After that reboot and Root using Bin4ry method :) After that, restart and use same method to flash .54 kernel ;)

Hope it helps :P

Cheers & Merry Christmas :D

Need HELP! My Xperia U doesn't start

Hi everybody!

First of all I want you to know that I'm new to this forum and my native language isn't English so pardon me if I make mistakes.

As the title says, my Xperia U doesn't start at all and I'm really sad because I'm afraid the cell phone's hardware is wrong. I just hope it is the battery and not the hardware.

Before it fails I was using it for almost 4 hours. Basically I was playing and navigating trough Wi-Fi. And about 3 or 4 times I had to charge it for a few minutes because the battery was very low, about more or less 5%. When it was charging I was still using it. Suddenly at 5% and not being connected to the wall the cell phone automatically turned off at 5% charge what was rare to me. Well I tried again to charge it but from then on, is impossible to turn it on.

I’ve been reading and proving every thing I’ve found on this forum but nothing helped me at all. The last thing I’ve done was to take out the battery for about 10 minutes, look at the contacts which were totally clean, put the battery back and start charging. First the little light at upside right corner turned red still, about 30 minutes later it was still red but blinking and about 15 minutes more it was turn off and I touch with my hand the charger and was it at regular temperature (cold) as always is after automatically stops charging.

Another thing I didn’t mention and may be of help. The cell phone has about only 1 month of use. I've bough it from Amazon in new condition.

Every help will be very much appreciated!

Happy holydays and king regards to all!

Hi there and welcome to the forum. I'm also noob in Android world but I will try to help.

Connect USB cable to PC and press and hold VOL + button on the phone and then connect USB cable to phone. In this moment phone's LED should turn blue if it is working...

This won't fix your phone but it is good to know that it is alive and that can be flashed with new ROM or something like that...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DannyDD:
If your info is correct the kernel u're using is newer than the one u asking (A.1.100)... So what u mean is downgrade it to another kernel, if that's the case then the answer is no u can't downgrade it with update center.

But, if your using a MODed kernel/ROM i don't think update center is going to even recognize the phone... :rolleyes:

Is there any way to increase the download speed of the Android SDK Manager?

My phone is xperia p with the lates firmware. i want to unlock the bootloader so i followed the instruction given by sony website. when i downloaded the Sdk MAnager, it prompted me to download 5 items namely

Android SDK platform-tools rev 19.0.1

SDK platform 4.4.2 rev.2

ARM EABI v7a System Image rev.2

Android Support Library rev. 19.0.1

Google USb Driver

so i downloaded this things but the problem is the download speed of the SDK manager. at max it just 9kbps which will take me about 5-6hours to complete the download.

Is there any way to increase the download speed of the Android SDK Manager?

or do i have to install all this 5 things or just the Google Usb Driver only?

Hi guys just wondering if apps like lux auto brightness save battery when screen is set lower brightness then lowest phone will allow without lux?

Hope that makes sense?

I know the Xperia u doesnt have an ambient light sensor. I would be setting brightness myself via lux slider.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
The effect would be the same as using a darker wallpaper or apps instead of a white one... a bit, but not very much. The screen brightness will stay the same, but the app will put a black filter in the screen.

I use for reading in dark room, not really to save battery.

Btw xperia u does have a light sensor
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DANfour20:
No it doesnt buddy, that's why when you set your brightness to auto it does not change when going from a bright to a dark room. Also read if you want proof http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_u-4437.php
