Do not worry :D it is hard to brick 2011 xperia phones.

I'm sure if you flashed your phone firmware again it will boot.

now, If I'm not wrong you were following this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1842366

If you pay attention to the steps and follow them carefully you will succeed it rooting your phone with locked bl.

But give us some information to be able to help you.

Current firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
So are you following my rooting guide(see my signature). There it's clearly stated that whatever the status is continue with rooting. If u followed everything correctly u'll be successful. :D

i followed the rooting steps correctly and now after i rooted it using doomlord v1 xperia 2011 ics root , i installed the kernal using flashtool. I switched my phone back on and now its stuck at a black screen again with the periodic vibration but this time without the back capacitive touch screen button instead my screen's light keeps flickering.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
Did you flashed your kernel at the end? The kernel found at the end differ from the when used while rooting!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Ok download the complete stock firmware of your phone(nearly 200 MBs) and flash it in flashmode. It should most probably switchon the device :D

can anyone help? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
I think he did not use the kernel from step 5 , but just reflashed the kernel used for rooting.

Man If you want a real help provide some info. With your posts, we are not here to guess!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aamir roomi:
Yes i did flash the second kernel at the end.

what all info do you need?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Greyjawripper:
Hold on a second what are u guys talking about...... How is he suppose to flash kernel with a locked bootloader?? Lol

Btw flash the stock firmware first then unlock bootloader(official method or testpoint method) then flash a pre rooted kernel

Device: WT19i

Rom: Zelly Cream 2.0 :D [MDPI]

Kernel : Lupas v3
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
Are you from Mars?

it is stock kernel which can be flashed with flash tool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Dude please have proper knowledge before posting. You need an unlocked bootloader for custom kernels not the official one which are signed by sony. In the complete ftf firmware kernel is also included and it is flashed using flashtool. So in official kernel everything is removed from the ftf except kernel.sin and loader.sin and then the ftf is flashed on locked bootloader. As simple as that.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
Do not follow his steps, unlocking bootloader will erase drm files which cause track id not to work and you will not be able to receive ota updates.

SO, do not unlock your bootloader unless you understand the consequences.

Now, what I can tell you is try to repair with seus or pcc, after that follow the rooting guide again, it is very simple but make sure you are following step by step correctly.

The phone is in your hand and the computer is infront of you.

You are the one who is going to figure this out and make this work.

Good luck.

urgh! i firstly downloaded the 'All other users - Kernel' then i flashed it and used the doomlord v1 xperia ics root after which i downloaded the 'Mini Pro -KERNEL' and flashed it.

Any other way round this problem without me downloading the 200 mb thing? :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Did u marked usb debgugging, unknown sources and msc mode? If no then no there's no other way just flash complete stock ftf or repair via sus or pcc...

I already said flash stock firmware first then unlock bootloader then flash kernel :mad:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
You should have a backup always with you in case...

it is better to repair with seus or pcc, but you will lose all your user data.

If you are going to flash a fw with another SI number, you will lose the fw of your country. ( although it is not a big deal - differ in minor things - but it is up to you)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aamir roomi:
how do i repair with pcc without my phone being switched on?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mysteryagr:
Do you speak English? :D

man, come on, this is not what we are discussing here! - TOTALLY -

Why you want him to unlock bootloader? Maybe he do not want to do so?

plus he can flash generic stock kernel with flashtool.

he didn't ask for custom kernel!

You do not know what you are talking about.

Flash with seus while your phone is switched off, it works like the way flashtool works

Download seus, install it, run the program, choose your device, trun it off, press and hold volume down while connecting usb cable. Leave it to download and your phone will be flashed :D

is my xperia mini pro sk17i dead?

Hi guys, this is my first post and may be quite an outdated one in the wrong tread, nevertheless I hope somebody will come across eventually:).

I got hold of a heavily bricked xperia mini pro to play with (it has been written off by previous owner), and since I had no previous experience with SE phones, did an extensive net research first (btw, I am a total amateur, and this is just for playing and hobby, mainly with rk sticks). Long story short, the phone is dead for all practical purposes: it doesn't power on (but it does vibrate on pressing a power button when battery is charged, it is not charging however (but recognizes a flat battery by three red flashes - btw I got another same phone cheap just to be able to charge the battery and see how it behaves:)), does not get recognized by FlashTool etc, obviously cannot boot to recovery or flash mode either etc). The only positive thing that I could find is working test point as It installs Zeus driver properly but when I tried S1tool to fix it it reports errors (from memory something like: download started, bad CRC...., gc... cannot start.... - can provide log if anybody replies). After I exhausted all my recently acquired modest knowledge, I took it to repair service. The guy claimed they had access to SETool2 (which I believe can be the only way to fix it if it was a software brick). When I came back to pick it up a day later, he claimed categorically that the CPU was dead? Is it possible given the previously described "symptoms"? Another important bit of info: the previous owner installed and used a KitKat rom, but was experiencing problems, and when he tried to revert it back to ICS it wouldn't flash. The phone would boot to CWM recovery from time to time, but wouldn't flash (either from CWM and Flashtool alike). Than he did some stupid mistake with flash tool, rebooted into fast boot mode, and selected to ADB flash the file "loader.sin" from sk17i directory in FlashTool (if my understanding was correct). Ever since, jim is dead. Any ideas?

Excuse my long post and many thanks for your help,

Hello

Will a Samsung keyboard apk pulled from an international galaxy S2 i9100 4.1.2 rom work on our skyrocket JB leak UCLL3 ? what might be also needed to make it work ?

I need to know if someone tried that before I begin to extract the rom files from the stock i9100 tar.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
You could use a stock CWM zip than the tar. Try and see.. Out of curiosity, why do you stay on ucll3 when there's official Rogers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
I need the apk from the middle east tar, so I will have to extract the tar to get the system files using linux extractor. ..I know what I'm doing but was curious if some one did it before ...

The JB flashable zip in dev section is not a stock rom. . It is just a gutted one. . Which I don't like. . At least for a stock rom. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
There is the full Rom too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
I tried it on ICS , it worked with some minor issued here and there..But the new JB Samsung keyboard is more temptating. .it combines the good of both Google and swype
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
That explains it. The rom by vincom is very much stock, i think he switched out the kernel for a better one and you won't be needing rogers bloat in middle east.

If xcrazydx is antisocial then you have a major attitude problem and i have a patience issue :p But this is all irrelevant, you should just try because there's not too many middleeasterners here :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
No. .Vincom did not just change the kernel. ..I tried his cwm flashable rom and that's not the way I'm comfortable with. ..I like to custom the stock to my liking. . He removed so many things from the official rom. It is like his superlite roms..I like to do things by myself if I'm going stock. .. Sure I don't need the Rogers bloat but stil I need the arabic language which he deleted from his cwm flashable jb rom.And it is not about middle east or not , it's about a keyboard from The galaxy s2 being compatible or not with skyrocket..btw I'm not living in the middle east..

Now for the attitude, I don't need anybody to come to my thread and just throw stupid comments to just ruin the purpose rather than being helpful..

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You're making everything far too difficult. If you want stock, dl and flash it. If you just want the keyboard, pull the file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Okay. here's vincoms CWM zip "FULL BLOAT, NOTHING WAS REMOVED AFAIK". So it's nothing like the superlite roms.

You said that you need to unpack middleeastern tar and try that keyboard on a skyrocket (which only has between 3-4 languages and it NEVER had arabic). Only AOSP/AOKP roms have all languages. Maybe there will be a confilct or issue with languague compatibility. Since there aren't too many middleeasterners here, i'm thinking not too many has tried this specific operation. I don't know about others but i don't care if you're a middleeasterner, i'm talking technology not geography. You're a bit edgy man, calm done, we're not out to get you wallah habibi :good:

I'm actually surprised the LGOG doesn't get more love in the android community, it's always S3 this and HTC One that, LGOG is crazy powerful and awesome
[Sprint LG Optimus G] evodev:
I know. I thought this phone will be picked up by alot of people, especially when it was going for $100 at best buy with these specs. But alot of people stay away from LG phones. I almost did the same thing.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] klyang88:
Its because LG has always been really bad with their stuff. like the LG optimus S for example and the LG Viper was the biggest fail ever. People chose samsung and HTC because they are reliable phones and have been for the last few years. As for me im still a Samsung guy Just simply Because Samsung phones have treated me really nicely. I like the LGOG though because it is blazing fast. even a little faster than my note 2. but when it comes to multimedia etc. the note 2 kills the LG in almost every way. and LG did kind of copy samsung in some ways too. the UI and gestures etc. but i like them all! lol. i only bought the optimus G cause the nexus 4 didnt come to sprint and the LGOG is the Nexus 4 minus the Jellybean and Pure aosp. but overall The LGOG is a Top of the line phone hands down for sure.. and does need more love from devs lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sirswag87:
What's so crazy is that this is hands down the best phone out there next to the nexus 4 (same phone) the thing is, no one knows about it. People automatically think LG is crap because they don't know about it. They know all about the Samsung Galaxy phones because TV tells you that its the best thing out and you have to have it. I guarantee you that there are only a few Galaxy users who can actually tell you why they have that phone let alone what's under the hood. This phone will kill any phone out right now and people just don't get it because its not marketed correctly. I mean you even if it was how many people would get excited because it had quad core processor? People ( stupid people) would be like 13MP camera hells yea! . When I first got this thing all the guys at work talked so much crap about it being LG. They all have iPhone 5's (phones for noobs) and all I did was turn on all 4 of my cores. They have yet to say anything again about my OG!

Sent from my LGOG son!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
Yep, market-ing = market share. I personally just think that LG doesn't care too much about their mobile division, especially when they're battling up hill against Samsung and Apple. They're probably OK with making a small profit off of mobile while making their real money off of TVs and appliances.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shook187:
Not to hate on the LGOG, but when I owned the phone for a few weeks I felt the phone had some shortcomings. Hated the LTE connectivity or lack there of. The speaker is by far the worst speaker I've ever heard on a smart phone. The 13 megapixel camera is lacking. LG's iOS or what ever its called lacks features and widgets.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] klyang88:
The lgog is a good android phone. But it's not the best. This phone still needs a lot of work on the ui and bloat. The only thing actually good about this is the res and the s4pro backed up with 2gigs of ram. If it had a dual core like the s3 I wouldn't even bother with it lol. It'll just be like the LG viper.... That phone was a waste of my cash. But at least LG made this phone to cover their epic fail on the viper.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
One thing I don't like this phone is touch screen acts like crazy while charging. It seems like it is hardware related issue....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
Seen that hundreds of time on many phones. Try a different charger, or two. A defective/cheap charger will tend to have a lot of "noise" and cause touchscreen issues. I have two chargers right now that make the touchscreen unusable but have five or six that give me no issue.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Hardwares only as good as its software and unfortunately LG has sh!t software. I have an OG for work and forwarded everything on it to my personal line(note 2) the OG sits on the desk collecting dust cuz its just unimpressive and a pain to try and use the little screen. After having my note 2 every other phone I pick up feels like my palm just swallowed it and typing is so awkward I get frustrated and give up. Small phone + big hands = :banghead: especially after having a phone that actually feels comfortable in them. The Optimus G came blazing out of the gate, then tripped on its lackluster software and crap support to land right on its pretty face and stay there for the rest of the race. By the time (if) lg ever gets ths software up to par with the rest of the Android world the OG will be headed for an EOL and its replacement will already be en queue.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] prowlingfox:
If I'm hearing you right, you're saying the OG has a small screen?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Compared to my note 2 yes all other phones feel tiny now, especially since im much larger than average at 6'7" my gs3, optimus g, og evo, mopho all feel small, don't even get me started on iphone I cant even hold the 4s unless its in landscape. When I try to use smaller screen phones now I get serious hand cramps trying to type 2 handed, it was never like that til I got used to the note2 now it's awkward as hell. It would take me weeks to get used to using a "normal" sized phone again. It's not so much the size in numerical value as it is the dimensions are narrow and tall. When I put my OG next to my note the note screen is about as wide as 3/4 of the height of the OG screen and the OG is about half as wide as my note in portrait, maybe a 5/8s as wide. Trust me when I tell you its awkward going from 5.5" to >5". It doesn't seem like it would be a huge difference on paper but IRL it seems like feet instead of inches in my big ass hands. It just seems like a kids toy now. I guess I'm just spoiled now.

I like to break stuff! :D
