Dont Panic Just Charge Your Phone and Let it come Back :)

If you are not getting any LED (RED/GREEN/BLUE) then you need to charge your battery with WALL CHARGER till you get LED back.

If you got CONSTANT RED LED not Blinking (If Blinking Let it Charge more Hours)

Now Here are few tips to get FLASH/FASTBOOT mode for Flashing the Phone.

For each scenario make your flashing files ready for fastboot and flashmode :cowboy:

To do that Put Stock FTF file in %\Flashtool\Firmwares\ and Extract the ftf file using 7-zip in %\Flashtool\Firmwares\ExtractedSin and also install all necessary drivers from Flashtool\drivers folder.

Main Idea Would be Getting BootLoops at last and thats the stage, you'll be one step close to make your phone back to life.

BUT MAKE SURE YOU CHARGE YOUR PHONE AT LEAST 10-20 MINUTES FOR EACH TRY, AS IT WILL GIVE POWER TO FLASH THE DEVICE.

If you managed to get FLASHMODE (GREEN LED)

[1] . Set the Flashtool with Stock FTF and when it asks to connect the phone , Connect the Phone while keeping pressed the VOLUME.DOWN button.

If the Flashmode doesn't comes then , Put Your Phone to PC/Laptop for 5-20 minutes it will start Bootlooping (It will show Constant LED and will end up boot looping the phone)

[2]a . This Time When Phone boots-reboots keep pressed the VOLUME.UP button and quickly insert the USB cable try it few times IF you got FastbootMode[BLUE LED] follow method below...(BLUE LED)

[2]b . In Between BootLoops If You Failed to get BLUE LED try SOFT RESET ( Power+VOLUME.UP till Single Vibration) Release Keys And QUICKLY PRESS VOLUME.UP and Put the USB cable While Kepping it Pressed. Try It few Times and if you get [BLUE LED] follow method below...

[2]c . Still Haven't got Fastboot Mode try it for Flashmode, Make FLashtool Setup then SOFT RESET , release key and Quickly press VOL.DOWN and put USB while keeping it pressed. If You Got (GREEN LED) It will Start Flashing.

[3] . Phone Didn,t respond at all Dont Freak Out, Just keep it on wall charger and try after few hours Mine took 20 hours to get BLINKING RED LED. And After few Hours It Came with CONSTANT RED LED. Some People wait till Constant Red becomes to GREEN.

Method to Flash in Fastboot Mode, Make Sure You have installed All necessary drivers

Open Flashtool ----> Press Thunder Button ----> Select Fastboot MOde ---->Select Kernel to flash ---> Browse %\FLashtool\Firmwares\ExtractedSins\ -----> Select KERNEL>SIn file -----> It Will FLash the Kernel.

Do the Same for SYSTEM.SIN.

Reboot Phone into System.

Just Put Phone to WALL CHARGER and Read it out carefully. Hope It Helps :cowboy:

I can access fastboot method but flashing wont help. If I tried flashboot method it recognize it but after sometime maybe after 40 seconds it automatically disconnect.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Following your step i managed to install kernel and now I can see SONY logo. It stuck on SONY logo. I cant install system.sin.

Flashtool is showing the following log:

15/028/2012 11:28:34 - INFO - Selected system (system.img or system.sin): C:\Flashtool\firmwares\Xperia Ion (Lt28h)_ICS 6.1.E.2.68_Generic International Firmwares - LT28h\system.sin

15/028/2012 11:28:34 - INFO - Flashing selected system

15/032/2012 11:32:46 - INFO - Please check the log before rebooting into system
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] markelON:
Follow this

try it using Command prompt method

Goto Flashtool Folder Press Shift and Right click \x10flasher_lib\ then Open Command Prompt Window Here

Now Do It

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

fastboot flash system system.sin

fastboot flash userdata userdata.sin

You can drag the *.sin files after writing

fastboot flash boot [drag the kernel.sin file]

same for 'system' and 'userdata' partitions

Redownload Appropriate Rom For Your Phone

No You did everything absolutely fine.

- wipe out all partitions b4 you flash the rom.

- if it still dosen't work, you should try Sony Update Suite/Companion [ Repair Your Phone].

- And The Last Option is Flash CynogenMod and Put Rom.zip file in external Sd Card First.

Still You Have to FLash Kernel of the CynogenMOD from fastboot.

Then Goto Recovery by Touching Logo few times at bootup.

And Install ROM.

Then Let me know, What is status.

:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
I can't access CWM. I think it is also gone. Last night I did read about CM10. But it does have data problem. So Are there any other ROM I can use.

Also I have Unlocked Bootloader. So I cant repair through PCC or SEUS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] markelON:
yes unofficial cynogenmod 9.1 is there

you can also use one of these http://get.cm/?device=aoba
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
How can I install it. After all I don't have CWM recovery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] markelON:
Follow THis

If you don't have CynogenMOD

get it from here https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-9

Now Open the zip file and Extract Boot.Img to Somewhere.

And Flash it from FastBoot Mode.

Do THis

- power off the phone:

- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)

- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 or CM9 zip)

- fastboot reboot

- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+

- flash rom zip from externel sdcard

- wipe cache/data/dalvik

- reboot

I cant install the ROM. Every time I coose file it shows "(Status 7) installation aborted" error. So what I have to do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] markelON:
Try this

Looks like your device differs from the rom package.

make sure you download correct rom for your device.

and

you could try One thing OPen the ROM.zip file and extract this file

\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

Edit the file with Notepad++ or Edit+ etc (Dont open with notepad) and

Delete Following lines

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT28h" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT28h" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "aoba" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "aoba");

Now Save and replace this file in that zip package.

And try Flashing

Also, you should verify that the MD5 is correct for the download. :cowboy:

As title suggests.. Wondering what people with an N4 already use for their wireless charging needs.

I am looking for something with a reasonably large surface area i can put on my bedside table. (Idea would be just lay phone on it when going to sleep.. but not care about orientation or position). It would need to be flat as i sometimes keep my N7 on there and other stuff..

I'm waiting, 1) the ones out now for the most part are expensive $50+ and 2) all of them seem to have some type of issue

Is that the same LG charger that is constantly out of stock and not even being sold in some countries ? :silly: It's a good job the Nexus is a Qi compatible phone and we aren't restricted to LG's offerings if we were some of us would die of old age before we get our hands on their chargers.

Using a Maxell here myself, I had a bit of a problem to start with though but once I disabled the daydream feature on android the phone wirelessly charges like a dream. If I ever live long enough to see it I will probably buy the LG Orb for the Nexus as well, that is assuming I live long enough and I have more luck than winning the lottery at trying to buy one.

I bought the LG one on sale at Verizon (US) for $50. They also had the Nokia one for the same price, but I went with the LG because it seemed less finicky than the Nokia. I also like the LG's less slippery surface. I may someday want to prop up one end of it, though it's not THAT non-slip. If I had more money, the JBL charging boombox seemed really neat. I just think $250 is a bit steep.

Hi everyone,

I got this message, and it's really annoying,

I'm new in rooting, it happens while using "Link2SD" application, I tried to convert a "system application" "Google Search" to a "user application"

and error happens, then the Google search widget disappear,

Then I found this application in one website " Google_Search_2.2.10.546669_For_Android.apk"

and whenever i tried to install it,

the process stopped in the message"There is a problem parsing the package".......

Anyone know how to pass this?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] cjsspape:
Try using a root explorer to place the apk into the system-apps folder then set permissions for rw-r-r and reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] omaremad:
Dear cjsspape,

Thank you very much for your responding,

I got the program " root explorer"

1. I set permissions in app folder to RlW

2. paste the application there.

and I got the same message...

error parsing message...

the problem is I think when I tried to move it firstly using "Link2SD"

it crashed the program when trying moving it to the SD Card and the system still behaving like the program is still there, when it actually nothing remains from the google search widget.

If you know other hints or tricks I can do to pass this message to complete the installation,

Or Can I get the original program apk from another Xperia Arc S phone to get it again working fine?

Thank you very much,

Best regards.

If you made a Nandroid backup prior to flashing the modem, which I hope you did and should always do before flashing something new. Then it's just a matter of rebooting to recovery and doing a restore. Fast, easy solution. I'm thinking what you are missing with your newly flashed modem are just the correct AT&T APN settings. Quick search, find, and enter them, perhaps the better solution since you flashed the new modem to seek a better signal in the first place, may as well test it out.

You can do it straight on the phone under the development options in settings.

From there you can set it to do what you want.
