[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
thats very sad:(, can you please try restoring any app through recovery instead of ROM. For this you need to have installed Titanium Backup app + root.

if have titanium backup app + root then press on the menu button, there you will see an option create update.zip, click on that and remember to change the file name to Titanium backup.zip(version). uninstall TB app and go to recovery and try again retoring that TB.zip app.:)

good luck for this

:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Reflashed stock ftf, reflashed sliding_kernel, reflashed thebrainsrom tried to extrackt apps with titanium out of the nandroid that i couldnt restore - 50% worked, 50% not. so i guess the backup already was corrupted
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jamal_RS:
it works but after restoring TB.zip file and restart,the TB can't access to root(while my phone is rooted and includes BusyBox and other apps can access to root) and show this message:

Sorry,I could not acquire root privileges.This application will *not* work !please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox and try again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!! This has happened to me 2-3 times now so i decided to tell it to you.

Sometimes my network signals display to full and really they are but status bar shows there NO SERVICE.despite of this i can make calls, send sms, receive calls, receive sms in short no network issue.:D:D

What could be this issue deep!! ??

Look at this
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
I have the same problem...But i have think that it was normal...anyway when i have to restare first time Say that can't Mount system so i reboot...second time i do a restore and it works :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jamal_RS:
after "Say that can't Mount system" and restart, can not access to CWM and stopped on SONY logo!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
same here. bootet dozen times, no restore.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Ok folks, since my phone is bricked and wont work, and I didn't get convinced by what the phone shop told that the CPU was burned out.

So I thought I de-assemble the phone and see if disconnecting battery and reconnecting it can be solve the issue, of course battery is a non removable one, it's glued to the body of the phone. but it has a connector to the board of the phone that can be disconnected.

Now some explanations and Images Link: Xperia P Images

in image: DSC_0532:

It shows the upper side of the phone, you will see the camera sensor, but if you take a clear look above the camera you will notice a tiny white peace, this is the flash of the camera.

Now on the left of the photo you will notice an orange area, is extended to reach all physical buttons and connect them to the motherboard (main board) of the phone. remember the flash piece ?! Look at it's left you will notice a dark orange or brown rectangle above it there is a black rectangle, this is the connection point between physical buttons (that are connected to the orange area) and the main board.

in Image: DSC_0527:

you will see the bottom side of the phone, I don't know what to say about it, but this is what lays inside the bottom side of the phone :p

By the way those images where taken by another Sony Xperia P :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Does that mean you got yours back to life? :)

Lucky you!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
No I didn't I used my friend's phone to take the images, that was my phone in the images :(

Though it's nice to see it's internal parts :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
actually... that's the NAND chip :D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks, now I have to find the CPU of the phone :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
What? :silly: ...on my phone when i reboot i can enter on cwm...the first time say that deleting boot.img and then can't mount system...reboot...now on cwm i redo a restore and it works...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
hmm... i wonder if some daring soul would get hold of a 64GB chip and test it out on the XP :p

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I would have tried it, too bad the phone will not boot. how did I know that? well simply MY PHONE IS NOT BOOTING WITHOUT TOUCHING :p

naa I'm kidding let someone else try it out :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
What did I just read !!

Man, this is driving me crazy, the issues that are coming out these days are just shocking :(

I'm starting to hate this job :p

Edit:

Umm guys I'm noticing that Droid Manager Android app is about to die, I mean by that the app is rarely installed :(

While the windows app is still holding on :D

Any one who used it can suggest me what should be done for this app to get back to life?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonnyxperia:
i forgot to test v6 test 5,

after flashing and using pegasusq and sio network is ok and even after a long deep sleep over night

v6 test 5 is works great to my XP

stick to v6 test 5 :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I have noticed version 6 test 6 is being downloaded more than test 5. does it mean people are having issues with test 5 or they want to get the latest update ?! (Just like I always do, even if the latest update is bad I install it just because I don't like having an old software running on my device :p )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
I always want the latest update, too. Got no issues with the newest version. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I think you are right deep! People never want to be outdated atleast in technology . :D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Great, and how is battery life?

I'm planning on making this version as a final release, I think it had enough testings :D

Edit:

No wonder why :p

But not always, the latest update from Sony for the Xperia P was too bugy for me, good thing my device bricked or else I would break it :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Which one would be the final release deep?? Test 5 or test 6??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Both, since some users reported that test 6 solved their signal problem, and many users are happy with test 5. so will make both as a final release :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
That would be great:D:D. I always love choices. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Believe me my friend, we all do :D ^_______^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nwayen:
Deep, I was having signal problems with Test 5 and Pegasusq / SIO governor, but when I use Ondemand on Test 5 the signal problem is gone. So in my case it seems to be related to the governor.

Currently the only "bug" I'm experiencing is that WiFi doesn't turn off when Battery Saving Mode is on. Besides this, your kernel is very stable, smooth, fast, and really improves the user experience. Thanks!

P.S: And a belated happy birthday :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I'm still waiting for the latest Sony source code since this kernel is built on source code of: 6.1.1.B.1.10

So some issues might be found since it's for a different build :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!. When would you be finalising this v6??. Are you gonna finalize this after updating this version to the Sony latest source code?? :) :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jamal_RS:
for me,battery draining in test-5 and test-6 is more than test-2

till for me test-2 is the best version among all Sliding_XP kernel's versions.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
That's what I'm thinking of, since it still gave some users few issues. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lauri455:
v6 test 6, pegasusq / sio signal loss is still there, and I have to say I have no idea what's causing this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
It's a governor issue, even though I didn't face that issue with my phone.

For best results use onDemand governor :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xaver54645:
I had signal loss every few hours but only with pegasusq and scheduler sio or vr.

Changed it back to ondemand and.... no more signal loss. Try it ;)

edit: too slow :)

But great work DeepUnknown!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lauri455:
Just sayin'.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
too slow?! what is too slow, I'm a bit lost :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LilBlinx:
Will I had but I cleared data, cache and dalvik cache after installing the kernel. No problems since than. Using Pegasusq with sio
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
Recommendation

this is the best way to do it guyz...

1.Flash kernel v6-test5(best kernel so far)

2.wipe cache partition 3x

3.wipe dalvik cache 3x

4.reboot

5.wait 2-5 min to settle

6.reboot again

7.use SetCpu 3.0.9(latest)set governor Pegasusq, Scheduler SIO

8.set mobile network to GSM only

9.your good to go

i recommend to use Latest Stock ROM, or BrainsRom

this only my own recommendation guyz,..i doubt you will still encounter signal loss
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
1. it's a known issue

2. it's been answered many times already in this thread and elsewhere

just sayin'
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Narag:
After DeepUnknown looked at my init.d scripts, he found some governor modules inside of it. He recommended to delete them as his kernel has these modules inside. Seems like I had some remnants of previous ROM?

I hadn't any network dropout since then ... (with pegasusq/sio)

So check your init.d directory, there should be scripts only, no modules.

Thanks Deep, I'm deep in debt with you ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xaver54645:
My post was too late, you already answered the question ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jamal_RS:
Hi everyone

By these settings can I expect more battery life? :

Governor:conservative

I/O scheduler:cfq

what's your suggestion for more battery life by cpu frequency manipulation?

(which governors , I/O schedulers?)

Why this kernel doesn't support "scary governor"?

Thanks all

striking features :)

cheers and great to support your work :) !!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] horizophon:
Did this and will report. I removed folder system/etc/init.d/modules

Edit: Also wiped dalvik and cache.

Hope it works!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nakedgun99:
agree ,,v6 Test 2 , i can use upto 12~16 hour battery usage with normal using like whatsapp , twitt , etc..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
Hi Deep,

thanks for your great work so far. Your kernel is great. I was using test 6 since it's release. No problems encountered at all. Battery life and performance are well balanced.

Today I got 3 random reboots together with signal losses. No idea why. Maybe it has something to do with the location (was in Wismar the last days, Hamburg today).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
You have onscreen buttons because of my kernel :-/

The kernel shouldn't be installing anything other than SU binary and SuperUser app ..

I haven't included the on-screen button patch inside the kernel :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I will check back the settings, but both test versions have almost the same configurations I don't know why there is a difference in battery life.

Waiting for your feedback my friend :)

Your welcome my friend, glad you liked it :D

The settings that I had on my device were: Pegasusq governor and SIO IO scheduler. those from what I found online are the best for performance and battery life ;)

By the way guys I'm out side the country for a few days, I don't always have internet access so I'm sorry if I don't reply instantly :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
Any help with the on screen buttons?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:

As I am not getting what are you talking about??. :D

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep. I wanted to try the version 6.6, because I had some small probs with 6.5.

But I flashed it now about 5 times via fastboot and also with flashtool

and the Kernel information in settings and SETCPU still says Version 6.5?

What can I do? Or do you just missed to correct the version in the new building?;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
I have the same thing he forgot to correct the version
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Okay! Thanks!

I was wondering that I am too stupid to flash/download the right image! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I just saw the screen shot and wondering how this can be possible. Because many of the kernel users don't have these(I think)

But in my view, this feature was not included in this kernel's feature list.

No idea my friend :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
This only happens when I flash this kernel,I thi k I should get used to them:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PAVNEET101:
I just wanted to say I got my phone bank today from the service centre I was on test 5 kernel the issue was it was not responding to anything, Sony reported that the battery was deep discharged and they have to take out the battery and recharge it with a different charger so I was wondering what was it that caused this problem? Cause before becoming dead my battery was like 70% !!

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32871972

But I saw you posted there some days ago. Maybe you changed something wrong. Try to flash the rom again that you are using at the moment. This should help you I think.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hm... that's strange. Have you tried to flash the rom again and clear cache?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] horizophon:
I run the 6.5 kernel and just after an hour leaving the phone with pegasusq, sio the signal was lost. I restarted and it happened again.

I am now trying out the ThP kernel. It keeps signal with hotplug but battery drainage is crazy.

Will be back to Sliding in a bit ;)

Edit: Maybe i should try 6.6 again also, since you removed deep sleep (right?).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
I tried now but nothing :(:(:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Then I would try a full wipe! Sorry, but this is the only thing I can recommend to you.

I am not a developer, but I would think, that reflashing the Rom must solve the problem, because you get everything back to stock. And I don`t think that the sliding kernel causes this. Have you tried another or stock kernel to see if the probs are there too?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
I tried thp kernel and there are no buttons when I flash this kernel the buttons are back
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
I understand that i'm posting this in the wrong section, But i'm unable to install this kernel.

I've got an unlocked bootloader, and i've rooted my phone and i've got the .54 firmware(the latest one). Yet i'm unable to flash this kernel.

The steps i've followed is:

1)run flashtool

2)click on the flash icon and choose the fastboot mode

3)reboot into fashboot mode (via adb)

4)click on the 'Select kernel to flash' option and then choose the boot_v5.img file.

After this the installation fails. below is the log.

I tried installing the SlidingXP kernel in flashboot mode, and i got the error as phone not rooted. But my phone is rooted. below is the log file.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
This error comes only when you have not unlocked your bootloader. But in your case that you are saying you have unlocked it, my recommendations would be try unlocking your bootloader again via official Sony method (if earlier was unofficial).

Note :

1.Custom kernel's can only be flashed if you have unlocked bootloader.

2.Here in flashtool! Root means unlocked bootloader, so that's why this error is being displayed again and again.

Hope it helps you :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
You are right:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Thanks for the tip, although I bought my phone from amazon.com(http://www.amazon.com/Sony-LT22i-SL-Dual-Core-Processor-Touchscreen--U-S-Warranty/dp/B008D09OTW/)

which states that it's unlocked. I'm guessing it's factory unlocked.

Also I'm using the phone in india, by just inserting a sim(without unlocking) So is my phone still locked?

Regards,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] horizophon:
Sim lock and locked bootloader isn't the same thing.

Bootloader is locked by Sony for user protection. Google "Sony unlock bootloader"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Is there anyway i can find out if it's locked or not? because i had bought an unlocked one from amazon.... After dialing this - *#*#7378423#*#* in the configuration menu, under Rooting status it shows Bootlocker unlock allowed: Yes

So does this mean my phone's bootloader is locked inspite of buying an unlocked phone from amazon?

Just saw your updated post... Guess it's locked then...

I'll be following this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159

I hope it's the correct method...

I got no reception issue and battery seem ok with me :D btw I'm using stock Rom .54

Yes if the statement Bootloader unlock allowed yes is shown then it is definitely locked.

When you unlock it, this statement 'Bootloader unlocked yes' would replace the above statement

Try clearing cache /Dalvik cache.

It often helps in these kind of issues :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
This is propably because the latest update is 6.1.1.B.1.54 while this kernel was built on 6.1.1.B.1.10

so I'm waiting for the latest update from Sony to see if those are kernel related or software related :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep, this morning I faced a new problem with v6.

I always keep my xp on the charger over night and sometimes I got a reboot over night or the signal dropped. But this morning the signal dropped and message shows that because of high temperature wifi has been shut down.

What could this be? During the day I had no problems and battery was great.

I am using pegasusq and sio but I went back to on demand, because I only face problems when I use pegasusq.
