I haven't tried to update my phone. And when I connect it to PC, the computer doesn't show anything, but the cell starts charging...

I think my situation it's a bit different from yours, but I'm also afraid it's an issue that can't be solved. :(

Thanks. I downloaded from here, under the Manuals & Downloads tab and then click in "Software".

Try installing the drivers through this.

I already tried this Toolkit you recommended, but didn't work either... again! :(

You guys then think this might be something messed up with the phone that can't be solved?

Umm 2 things I can think of.

1st. Reboot/install updates on your pc

2nd. Do you have fast charge unabled?

How or where can I check if "fast charge" is enabled? Can't find it...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
If you don't know where it is, you probably don't have it enabled. And you need a custom ROM as well to have it.

Try reinstall CWM.

Look for in the thread that talks about root, cwm ETC
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
Step by step solution:-

1.I think you are on stock recovery Install TWRP from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938733

2.Download the custom rom (probably would be a xyz.zip file)

3.Put it on sd card,go to recovery , install zip from sd card,browse to xyz.zip and install..

That should do it.

Hi,

I unlocked my xperia mini pro and then tried the Fastboot Tool to flash the boot.img that belongs to CM 10. It was always failing with the Fastboot and the command prompt fastboot.

By mistake, I flashed another .img file and now the phone decided now to start up. Not even given any LED colour or so.

What can I do?

Thanks

What Rom did you flash. Second kernel did you flash ?

Device : Xperia Mini ST15i

Rom : Pureness V4

Kernel : Lupus V9

Mods : Beats audio + Walkman V7.5
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
Please flash a stock rom (ftf file) with flashtool first. If your device doesn't boot after this, then it is a real problem. Remember to wipe data.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bhaidar:
Hi,

I started out by unlocking the bootloader and it worked fine.

I tried to boot the CM image file, it was always giving me an error in Fastboot mode saying that outside range or so.

Then I downloaded Rage and tried to fastboot that image, after several trials, I can no longer start my phone.

Thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bhaidar:
Can I flash a stock rom while the phone is not starting up? If yes, where to get one? I already know how to use the flashtool on my Windows.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
There are download links in the sticked thread by someguyfromhell, download a ftf for your device ;)

Open flashtool and click the flash, flashmode, select the ftf and click okay.

Now take out the battery of your phone, wait a few seconds, insert battery again, hold volume down, connect usb to pc while holding volume down, the green led will light up. The flashing process will start and when it's finished you will get a working rom again :good:

Or you could try to download a kernel for your device (like rage kernel), take off battery, insert it, hold volume up, connect it to pc while holding volume up, start flashtool, click the flash, fastboot mode, select the boot.img for your device, click ok. That's it :D

Now, I only have kernel right? How to proceed to get a rom? Many thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Which rom do you want? Cyanogenmod 10 or which rom? Rage Kernel is only for ics based roms :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bhaidar:
morkso(agency)

Hi,

I installed for now the rage kernel, then installed the ftf stock firmware.

My phone started up perfect :) Thank you.

I noticed your links at the end of your signature, I will follow your instructions to flash the CM 10 for mango (SK17i).

Sounds good?

Regards

Bilal
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes, of course. For any further questions, just ask :good:

By the way: You first flashed rage kernel and after that the stock.ftf? Because the stock ftf has overwritten your rage kernel. You have to flash the kernel after the ftf ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bhaidar:
So do I need the kernel? Or the ftf includes a default one?

I want to flash CM10 for Mango, shall I follow your link on how to do so?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Okay to install cm10 do this:

1. Download cm-10 from FXP for mango and the gapps for jelly bean 4.1 (search on google)

2. Copy the two zip files to your sdcard

3. Open the cm10 zip on your pc

4. Take the boot.img to the flashtool installation folder -> kernels (you have to make this folder)

5. Go to the flashtool folder -> drivers and install all drivers for all devices/modes

6. Launch flashtool

7. Click the flash -> fastboot mode

8. Shut down phone, wait 5 seconds, hold volume up and while holding volume up connect phone to pc (blue led will light up)

9. On PC: Select kernel to flash -> go to kernels folder -> select the boot.img

10. Wait a few seconds until flashing has ended

11. Unplug phone and start it. While it starts press volume down again and again until you are in cwm

12. Navigate with the volume keys, select with the home button

13. Go to backup/restore -> backup and backup your stock rom

14. go back (back button)

15. Now wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

16. Install zip from sdcard -> choose the cm10 zip

17. Wait until installation has finished

18. install zip from sdcard -> choose the gapps zip

19. Wait until it has finished

20. Reboot phone and enjoy jellybean 4.1.2 ;)

That's all, hit thanks if this has helped you :good:

How would I use the backedup stock? What's the case, and how to restore, by just going to recovery and restore?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
If you have made a cwm backup of stock rom or stock based rom, then when you are on the fxp kernel, do not restore the backup. Firstly, if you want to restore the cwm backup then flash rage kernel or any stock ics based kernel and then go to restore in cwm. You cannot use stock rom with fxp kernel because the kernel configurations are for cm and not stock.

Press Thanks if I helped:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Like the guys above said, flash rage kernel and afterwards restore the backup. This is if you want to come back to stock rom one time ;)

Hey guys. I have a pretty serious problem with the "Media" process draining my battery. I read on another thread on XDA (on the galaxy nexus phone) about others with this problem. The general consensus was do a full wipe and it would fix. I was running CM 10.0.0 stable and decided to do a full wipe and update to 10.1.

Clockwork Mod Recovery

Format data

Format system

Clear Cache

Clear Dalvik

Flash newest CM 10.1 nightly

Flash google apps

Fix permissions

Then I put on the newest KT Kernal so I

Flashed kernal

clear cache

clear dalvik

fix permissions

After all of this, I STILL get the media proccess eating up my battery. In addtion I get the message saying "SD card unexpectedly removed". Maybe the two are related? Does anyone have any suggestions? These two problems are driving me crazy!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laserlight959:
Your installation process seems to be correct... About the media thing, does it drain EVERYTIME? Or just the first hour or so after your first boot? I get that, but it's because Google is restoring my account to my phone so it's re-downloading all my apps, hence the huge Media Process battery drain. After that, it's all gone. See if it's that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecapitalr:
No it is every time. My phone exchange gets hot as hell too. This is around for the clock and it has cut my battery life in half
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
I had this problem 3 different times. Twice, it was some funky MP3s or something on my external SD card. 1st time: wiping SD card and putting it all back worked. 2nd time, I had to do more: wiped it, ran my MP3s through a MP3 checker (found about 30 different errors), removed some MP3s I didn't listen to, and put it back--that worked.

The third time Media just ravaged my battery was because of CWM's roughly implemented /blobs folder for backups. Deleting the /blobs and instead making a *.tar backup fixed (though I eventually switched to TWRP).

Hey guys,

I've been having an issue with the volume on my phone. There is very little sound coming out through the speaker on the back. To be able to hear anything at all, I have to stick the speaker right up to my hear and even then you can barely hear any sound even though I've put the volume on max. When I plug headphones in, the sound is fine. Only when I'm trying to listen to music without earphones or trying to hear my notifications and ringtone when someone calls me, it gets very little sound. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean 4.1.2 if that helps. This starting happening when I was using my Nike+ Running app. Music was playing while I was running and then all of a sudden the music stops. I found out that it didn't stop because my music was still going when I plugged in headphones and the sound was still coming out of the speaker but very low that you could not hear it. If you guys have a solution, please help me out. Thanks.

I'm assuming you've tried doing a full wipe before posting this question, as if that fixed there would be no reason to post this question? If not, do that. That's always a trouble shooting step that should be done before posting. If it doesn't fix it, it could be a hardware issue.

Hi. I'm wondering if someone can help me verify this bug on the S3 mini.

My app depends on reading the phone's signal strength to toggle WiFi. An S3 mini user has reported that the app shows the signal strength as -1. But after accessing Android's phone info page to check the signal/cell info, the app suddenly starts to read the signal strength correctly.

I need someone to confirm if this is a bug in the device itself, if possible. The test scenario would be to:

1. Reboot the phone.

2. Install the app.

3. Go to the "Advanced" activity from the menu.

4. Check the signal reading.

5. If -1, access Android's signal/cell info page.

6. Go back to the "Advanced" activity and check the signal.

Please let me know what you guys find.

Much appreciated.

[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
Have you tried reflashing the camera and the lib files as well ? i know the lib files have something to do with editing photos and stuffs, cuz i had to flash them after installating the 4.2 camera with new ones or editing would not work, maybe try to reflash the right lib files that comes with the camera version you are using.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Where would I get the lib files?
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
You can extract them from the .zip of the rom you are using or a basic CM10 if you are using camera 4.1, if using 4.2 you are gonna have to find the complete package that comes with the lib, look for the thread called "android 4.1 to 4.2" and extract them from its package or extract them from a CM10.1 package (not sure that works tho, used the android 4.1 to 4.2 package in my case)

As for the files, you need to extract:

In the zip, they are in system/lib and are named libjni_filtershow_filters.so libjni_latinimegoogle.so libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so

Once you extracted the files, (backup or rename the old files 1st) copy them to your phone's system/lib using a root explorer (es or root explorer w.e you like to use) and make sure to change the files persmissions to r-r-rw and reboot your phone.

If that doesnt work, l really dont know ...
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
It wouldn't work to use those lib files from CM10 because this issue is with all CM10 based Roms
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I know it ain't saying much, but I'll play around with it...
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
How about flashing the 4.2 camera with the CM10.1 lib files ... you can get them from the "android 4.2 to 4.1" thread i mentioned above, why not give it try instead of assuming it wont work =)
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Didn't work.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
It's not a problem that can be easily fixed. It has to do with the proprietary drivers.
