i broke my lww wt19i its a long story.but my phone vibrates only with green led blinking and also the display is not fully dead it shows the light that it is working.i need one software which can read and write flash for my almost dead phone.

i cannot connect device in flashmod or fastboot mod either so please tell me some thing else and also my pc doesnt even recognize my phone.

an helpful answer will be appreciated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vbob:
Try to wipe all on CWM (system, dalvik-cache and data) before flashing. Alsto try to flash other Xperia Arc FTF that may let you rollback to ur original firmware with touch working

It is because it run out of battery. Put him on the Wall Charger and let it stay a couple hours. Than take him out, and you may manage to get him on FlashMode or even powering it on.

Search more about it on Troubleshooting section.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kapilkhanule:
i think you are right but when my phone was fully working i was not able to connect it to pc..i tried 3 different pc but no luck.

den i thought my bootloader is corrupted thats why i tried test point method n i could not succeed n it bricked.

so i need one software which can read and write flash again for almost dead phone.

please do something for me bcoz i really dont know where to post my problem and whom to ask for help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vbob:
The Xperia 2011 is so cool because of what? Because each ROM dont need to flash its bootloader!

So reflashing ROMs wont solve your problem..

What I recommend you to do is to install the drivers that are on the topic and try to unlock the bootloader, or try to relock it.

Have you tried different cables? Have you tested the OTG port, by seeing if it charge? I am starting to think ur problem isnt software related
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kapilkhanule:
friend i have tried evrything that you are telling me to do but mobile is almost dead and if i keep pressed power button it only vibrates and green light blinks thats it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Manu Chao:
This topic saved me.

I just wanted to let you know guys that I had 4 days ago the same problem with my xperia ray. After installing a rom, the touchscreen was dead, I flashed 10 more times with differents roms & kernels, same problem.

My solution was to flash with fastboot this file in my phone : Xperia Ray (ST18i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE.ftf (original file from sony for the xperia ray).

Everything worked again.

Then I could install again the kernel & rom of my choice.

Thank you to the guy who created this topic and thanks to the xda community. Your job is awesome.

[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
I really appreciate all of the flashable zips made for us. What I did, however, is use *insert your favorite ad blocker* to update the hosts file. Then, before rebooting the phone I made a copy of that file. Using AromaFM in recovery I replaced the hosts file with the copy I made. Reboot and good to go. Downside, of course, is that you can muck something up. Upside is that you can more quickly change your host file without waiting for some kind soul to zip up a change for us.

There is that! +1

If not going to that kernel... whatever ad blocker you use...update the hosts file...pull it using ADB with phone on...reboot to recovery...mount system...push hosts..adb shell use chmod 755 reboot and done! I would do this everytime AdAway told me there was an updated hosts file.

If so, my concerns posted in that thread are still outstanding. My post:

Has anybody else tried this? I'm kinda hesitant. What if it breaks some sites/apps and I need to temporarily disable it? I haven't had much luck with ad free or ad away or even abp on my rooted DNA..

Edit: Of course it's the same; it's posted by the same person lol
[HTC Droid DNA] klarson:
All of the current custom roms out there have this included. You shouldn't be worried. I've never had an instance where it breaks anything.
[HTC Droid DNA] terrorist96:
So basically this eliminates the need for a third party app such as adfree/adaway? And what if there needs to be an update applied for the hosts? **** out of luck until someone decides to release an updated zip?

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Okay, I just tried to flash this but it gave me an MD5 error and said to uncheck the "force MD5 check"... so I did and then it worked. Is that normal?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Flash DSB's stock writeable kernel and then install Adaway. That way you can have ad blocking and you can turn it off if it blocks a website you want to go to.

The other benefit of using a third party app to do this is that it updates the block list on a daily basis as new ad websites are found.
[HTC Droid DNA] terrorist96:
This is strange.. As soon as I booted back up I got an error that Shazam couldn't be updated. I went to the play store and it gave me this error: RPC:S-5:AEC-0.. I followed the instructions in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWSxPXgnWRY

It seems to have been fixed now. When I rebooted again after force stopping the google services framework and clearing the data, Shazam automatically updated. Anyone else have this happen to them?

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I'm kinda circumspect about installing a new kernal cuz that will just open up new variables for something to go wrong. I wanna keep my DNA as stable as I can for as long as I can.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
The stock writeable kernel is stable, plus any other apps that require writing to the system (most apps that require root) will work properly.
[HTC Droid DNA] terrorist96:
If it's so stable then why have there been numerous updates to it? :P

I don't wanna have to keep up with random updates released for it either and always having to flash a new kernal. I'll just stick with this blockads zip for now since it seems to have worked well. I might re-visit it in the future if it's not working for me anymore.

Thanks for your help though. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
DSB has two kernels:

1. Stock writeable with absolutely no problems;

2. Modified with overclock and sweep to wake, this is the one with a lot of updates.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] rmkilc:
This mod gets rid of the camera's shutter and video start/stop sounds. There are many easy ways to accomplish this, but the big advantage of this mod is it includes an addon.d script.

What is addon.d?

On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions. This mod includes an addon.d script, so the mod is not lost during a ROM update! If your ROM doesn't support addon.d, this mod should still flash properly, but you won't benefit from addon.d.

Tested and Confirmed to work on:

I'm not even going to bother listing ROMs it works on, as this is such a simple mod, it should work on any AOSP based Android 4+ ROM, for virtually any device. Let us know if it works!

Install Instructions:

- Boot into recovery

- Flash Enable zip

- Reboot

Uninstall Instructions:

- Boot into recovery

- Flash Disable zip

- Reboot

Downloads:

Enable-SilentCamera-1.4.zip

Disable-SilentCamera-1.4.zip

Changelog:

1.4 - 2/20/13
- Renamed addon.d file (not an important update)

1.3 - 12/23/12
- Minor compatibility fixes

1.2 - 12/22/12
- Initial public release

DISCLAIMER:

This mod involves editing system files. Use at your own risk! Also please don't forget, before you report ROM related bugs in the ROM developer thread, you should remove this mod to make sure the issue is not caused by this mod!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 19phil67:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] blinde:
It is just easier to delete those camera sounds from /system/media/ui/

:good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DaBigJ:
But when you flash the next nightly, they will be back again. Since this mod uses addon.d, it "sticks" through rom updates.That's really the whole point here.

on wicked v5, the shutter sound for the photo cam works great but the sound for the vid cam is still on..any advice?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Radimus:
Not to be nitpicky, but there are several ways to do this and flashing zips are the most troublesome method.

putting the phone on silent

tasker task to put the phone on silent when the camera is launched

rename or delete the file with a root browser

change the permissions of the file with a root browser (to 0000)

Don't get me wrong, I am all kinds of appreciative in your efforts to identify this sound, but flashing zips is probably the most drawn out and laborious method for this.

Yes you have to have root to do most of these, but who has a custom recovery installed that doesn't already have root?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rmkilc:
I think you are missing the point. The entire point of this mod is it supports addon.d. Manually deleting or renaming the files does work, but the next time you flash a ROM update, your sounds will be back. With this mod and addon.d, when you flash a ROM update, it automatically renames the sound files for you.

Not everyone wants to buy tasker. Not everyone wants to remember to put their phone on silent before snapping a photo. But if those options work better for you, don't use this mod! This mod is just another of the many ways to accomplish this. Nobody said it's the only way...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fzr-r4:
this is one of the least laborious methods if you flash ROMs on a frequent basis and don't use tasker. yes, you can put your phone on silent, but this silences the phone regardless. the root browser methods may not survive flashing new ROMs unless you prepare a script like the OP did.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
1. I don't like the shutter sound. I don't want to go through a hassle of putting the phone on silent everytime. What happens if I'm really super tired and the shutter goes off by accident?

2. I don't want to download a app when I can just flash a ZIP ONCE and be done with it.

3. I don't want to rename or delete the file everytime I flash a ROM. OP added a script so it stays there after each ROM update flash (only time you have to reflash it is when you wipe factory and start over with a new ROM)

4. This is more of a hassle than flashing a file once.

Flashing a zip isn't troublesome at all, especially when you have to flash it once. If flashing one zip in your lifetime of that rom is troublesome, you shouldn't even be flashing anything on your phone.

Great work OP. Very helpful until CM adds a toggle for silent camera (if it ever gets added back in).

Some people flash a custom recovery and are not rooted. It's the only way to manually apply OTAs (from Galaxy Nexus).
