but it's working great before it. it just turned out to be like that when I was changing the sim card. :(

tried flashtool but i can't connect the phone. i'm in the part where you have to press the back button (volume - or +) when connecting it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Dont try flash, just turn on, eg hatd reset (volume up+power on/off button) and let it connected, dont try go to cwm. Just let it lets say boot, I know, screem is dark but after while youll see in flashtool main window that phone is detected, it took me one or two mins to get it. Then you can try fastboot and flash correct kernel. And try to remove the SIM card or insert the old one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zx12cv34:
it really won't turn on :( no matter what I try and no, the screen isn't the problem. there's not even a backlight :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Give proper details!!!

Rom,

kernel,

where able to connect to PC suite before this problem ,

How did it happen?

And what is happening like boot lap or stuck on boot screen , not turning on???

What exactly is the problem ???

Let me tell u one thing about what you said in ur post about hard reset any combination of keys didn't work... you know y didn't they?? Cause their ain't none ... No combination keys are available for hard reset cause it ain't symbian Nokia
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alwaysadeel:
seems a hardware problem then ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
When you reset, power on/off button+volume up, does it vibrates I think 3 times?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zx12cv34:
hard reset combos: power + vol up / power + vol down / vol up + vol down / power + vol up + vol down. I've tried them all. not a newbie here so don't treat me like one please :)

rom + kernel = pure blood sola v2. i don't think it's the rom's fault tho since my sister has the same rom and her's works like a charm. the rom has been in the phone for more than 2 months without any problems (my phone's). files are accessible and photos are transferable.

How did the problem arise? everything was working great till i changed the sim card. then poof! it won't work anymore. to be honest it wasn't my phone. i'm just trying to fix it :)

not turning on. no power. no backlights meaning its not the display problem. when you plug it in via usb / wall charger there's a red LED but after an hour it disappears.

really need your help guys :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moyad.kad:
hay i have the same problem and yes it dose so what to do ???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:
Same problem here..

Anyone?

--EDIT

Problem solved :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LiamJohn:
i have encounter the same problem but i after i read this post, i revive again my phone, by just flashing the original kernel using flashtool and hold the fastboot key or the volume up key until the flashing was finished,

Hi-

I have a Siemens SX56 on ATTWS. It was recently updated with the latest ROM from Siemens/ATTWS. The ROM version shows as A.20.17 ENG and Radio version is A.20.10.

I want to SIM unlock the phone so I can use it with a T-Mobile SIM. I looked at the XDA Manipulator and see that XDA Developers are recommending to go to the XDA developer rom

Is there any other way to do a SIM unlock without installing the XDA developers ROM or Qtek ROM by using Manipulator and a serial cable?

thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Carlos:
You can use the manipulator and a serial cable to unlock without doing the ROM update.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] goul:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damm315er:
Greetings,

I know the easy answer to this is going to be to flash a new rom, but if I wanted to do that I would have already. I'd rather find and repair the source of the issue and learn from it.

That being said, shortly after getting my tbolt (when they were first released) I used the revolutionary root and added in VPN software for work. Being unaware that OTA updates hadn't been blocked during the rooting, the phone took an update and went into a death-boot-loop. I found a clean updated OTA rom, flashed and unrooted the phone as the VPN software didn't work well for what I intended anyway.

Great, now the phone is all back to stock (or so I thought).. After a while, another OTA update came down, it asked to update, I allowed, and it said update failed.. Repeat ad nauseum for the next several weeks. Since I was happy with the way the phone was operating, I didn't care if it got the updates or not.

So last week, I decided that since the phone is out of warranty anyway, I might as well root and get rid of some of the bloat, and while I'm at it, get rid of the damn nag screen every tine I hook it to a computer. Searched around, found thunderbolt tool 1.0.1, downed it and tried it out, and it proceeded to say unable to lock my phone.

After a little screwing around, the "update status" on the phone itself reports ROM Version: 2.11.605.9, while the tool was getting a response of 2.11.605.5, so it was using the wrong method to get into the phone. So I edited the batch file to use the .9 method no matter what it reported back, and it proceeded to root, add the recovery, and superuser.

Ahhh, life is good, the phone is rooted again, time to start doing my own customization.

Except that after a couple reboots, everything loses the root rights.

Running titanium backup says "asking for root rights" and then "titanium has been granted superuser permissions" but it just hangs there at the "asking for root rights" screen.

Wireless tether similar story... Start the app and it says "press to start tethering" and touching the screen gets "wireless tethering has been granted superuser permissions", then hangs at "please wait while starting".

Won't do anything that requires root, unless I run the tool again and select "S-off but no root", and it will go through a procedure and root will work again for a while.

Also, as I'm typing this, I discovered that it doesn't necessarily require rebooting to lose root. I had root working last night, but when I picked up the phone to get the proper messages to type, it is not showing root again, and it hasn't been rebooted since root was working.

Thoughts on how to repair this without flashing a rom?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
Have you attempted to run the "fix permissions" option in your recovery?

If that does not help, You could use something like OTA RootKeeper to protect root, if you loose it you would just click one button to get it back.

Last thing I can think of is to just reflash the same ROM you are using now on top of what you have so you loose no data and any messed up settings or files will be rewrote.

**edit**

You should really think about installing a custom ROM, because until you do, or you block OTA updates, this will be a reoccurring issue.

You could easily install a stock rooted ROM of the exact same thing you have now. nothing would change except it would be properly rooted and OTA updates would be blocked.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That is because only temp root is applied to the official 605.19 Ruu. You need to downgrade back to 605.5 after getting temp root on the 605.19 Ruu then apply the perm root zip in recovery and then flash a newer rom from recovery. If that doesn't work don't lose hope. I may be misunderstanding the situation you have but it sounds like you're only applying temp root. The tool doesn't need to be edited and you may need to flash the 605.19 stock Ruu, relock and s on and then run the tool again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damm315er:
Haven't seen the fix permissions option anywhere I've been, care to point me in the right direction?

I'll check out the rootkeeper.

Never took the .19 update, and both the tool and phone report as .05 now. (if I remember correctly the .09 reverts back to .05 to get in)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
What recovery are you using?

I only use 4ext and would recommend that.

The fix permissions will take up to 5 min and may not help your particular issue, but shouldn't hurt to try.

If 4ext - Boot into recovery, select tools then select fix permissions.

If CWM I think its in the advanced menu.

and If TWRP I think it is in the advanced menu again.

Good luck and listen to the others here, they go out of their way to help people a lot :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Ok earlier I misread your post. I thought it said 605.19. Still though something you're doing is causing you to only get temp root. Reread the op of the allinone tool and make sure you meet the requirements before you start it. That away when you run it this time you are in the best possible situation for it to work. Trter is very helpful and if you post your issue in his thread he will probably assist you with anything you need.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
I remember having a similar problem about 6-7 months ago.

I would randomly loose root, though not as often as he is describing.

In my case it was a combination of an outdated root method and a flawed ROM.

If everything he is using is current, including the ROM, he shouldn't have an issue.

If it were me I would flash Santod's stock deodexed ROM and be done with it.

It is the stock ROM with nothing changed except it is prerooted.

I understand that you would like to "fix" this issue without flashing a ROM, however the ROM itself could be the problem. this solution is the simplest I can think of.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damm315er:
Using everything from the thunderbolt toolkit, so yes, 4ext.

Found and ran the fix permissions, ran for 15 minutes before it finished so we'll see how it goes.

I get what you're saying about the rom being screwed up, and am starting to think my only choice is to reflash it, so I'll start looking into a new rom.. That being said I'm still pursuing fixing this until I find a rom that serves my purpose.

Is there a good stable ICS for thunderbolt, pre-loaded with root and good battery life?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Yea the one in the post above yours. If you want something a that is faster and has better battery than it then head over to infectedrom.com and check out all the different options santod has made.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonahly:
I use ClockWorkMod on an HTC EVO 4G ( Rolls Eyes ),

I have been trying to install a more customized rom on my Evo and I cannot seem to do it.

-I'm Not New To Android Or Linux-

But I sometimes get a Status 7 Error or a " BAD " Error and cannot install any rom.

ANY IDEAS?!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
What rom are you installing? A status 7 error only occurs when there are problems with the updater-script, and i dont think any dev would release a rom with a faulty updater script

Check the md5sum of your downloaded file, and download over a hardline and transfer to your phone if needed because it may just be a bad download that corrupted your the updater-script

Also try flashing other roms, and what version of CWM are you using? Try smelkus-mod recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonahly:
Rom: I've been trying a few, they never really work at all.

I have tried flashing others.

5.0.2.2 ( Unless I forgot )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Switch over to smelkus-mod and see if that fixes it

Did you check the md5sums and they line up?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
The Status 7 Error is not a script error either. It is an error installing the boot.img. This has become an ever more popular error on the evo. If you check you recovery log it will show everything installed fine until it got to the boot.img install and then it errors out. So please lets stop calling it something it is not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
It means that something went wrong with the updater-script, not necessarily that something is an error in the script itself, no ones calling it something that its not
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] mvsdroid:
you have a status bar,

And it got a clock,,,

BUT ALAS, when you try to change its colour

Da hell dude its in smali,, now i have to handle like a thousand lines of code and use google :(

^^DID YOU EVER FACE SUCH A SITUATION,,, well then,, here comes mvsdroid to enable you to edit the clock text features

with xmls only so dont rot in the SMALI FILES (the horror)

----all u need is ur brain and a tool to work on apks----

1) Decompile SystemUI.apk

2) Open res/layout/Status_bar.xml

3) You will see this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

</LinearLayout>

kick this line with the delete button and in place of that paste this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DigitalClock android:id="@id/clock" android:background="#ee000000" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="0.0dip" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">

<TextView android:textSize="16.0dip" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="Right" android:id="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />

<TextView android:textSize="16.0dip" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="Right" android:id="@id/timeDisplayForeground" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:layout_alignTop="@id/timeDisplayBackground" />

</com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DigitalClock>

Now since u have added that android:id attribute,, that cool piece of text shall help us change whatever we want,,,

Now there are two android:textColor attributes...

Find em and change it to whatever hex code you want,, means like if you want ICS BLUE,, make them android:textColor="#ddff00"

and similarly change the size attributes,, so now next time you want that clock to obey ur command,, you dont need no smali!!!!!!

4) Now download the digital clock smali i am giving and place it in systemUI/smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy

5) Then save it and close it

Now download the digital clock smali i am giving and place it in systemUI/smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy

6) Recompile properly

7) Have fun

8) If you had fun in step 6,, press thanks button :D

:P :P :P <---- dont just see this and laugh,, Press thanks if you like it :D

STILL :confused: ,,, post a reply,, I am still alive to help

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snakeyez86:
I have both AT&T and Verizon and I've waited patiently for some new game changers to come out. I sell mobile phones for a living so i get first dibs and want to of course have the best device for both carriers. Which new phones would be best I'm your opinions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGoogleUser:
I would say, being a fan of the nexus brand, wait for a new nexus. Unless you like touch wiz. Then you should wait for the Galaxy S4. From some rumored specs I've read so far I believe its going to be a great device, but nexus phones are still my favorite being pure android and having a lot of support from Google with the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
I'd wait for X.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snakeyez86:
Why would you say to wait for the X? How much better would it technically be than its rivals?.. I love my Nexus but pretty much any phone I get will be modded so its Hardware I'm curious about.. We get the HTC One in store on Tuesday so I'm most likely going to get that for my ATT line. Im sure it'll hold its resale value for a few months so I can sell it if something better comes out in the near future. I'm not sure which Verizon phone is coming out but I want both to be the best ones out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
I am waiting for the next nexus device personally. I don't want to deal with locked bootloaders and other hacking to get my phone to do what I want it to. Nexus can't be beat until carriers and manufacturers get on board with rooting and custom roms... Which is never going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cauchon:
I'm thinking Galaxy S4 for my next device. Not a big HTC phone guy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] savagehax:
I think if you ask this question in this section most people will tell you to wait on a new nexus or grab the nexus 4. I'm not in any rush. My gnex does everything I need it to. The nexus 4 I'd made by lg and has no removable battery made of glass and got hot as hell. OK not saying it's not a good phone.. Just was not for me. My galaxy nexus is still pretty and smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
If my gnex broke now I'd get a Note 2. But I'm interested in seeing how the S4 pans out. If the next Nexus had an sdcard I wouldn't consider anything else, but no chance of that.

X Phone news for today:

"Google (GOOG) is believed to be working on a high-end smartphone with Motorola, codenamed X Phone, that is expected debut this May. Initial reports claimed the handset would include a top-notch camera, a flexible display and revolutionary software features, however most specs have remained a mystery. According to a report from Android World, the flagship smartphone will be equipped with a 4.7-inch full HD display, a quad-core Tegra 4i processor and a 16-megapixel camera. The device will also reportedly include the latest version of Android, rumored to be called Key Lime Pie, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with eye scrolling technology. Purported dimensions are said to be 131.2 x 66.7 x 7.9 mm, making the device slightly thinner than the DROID RAZR MAXX HD."

I use Sprint.

I gave my upgrade to my mom so she could get rid of LG Optimus S and get a Galaxy S3. I bought my girlfriend the GNex from a warehouse in LA off Ebay and picked it up myself ($180). A week later I received another GNex in the mail from the warehouse. At No cost. I had the E4GT and loved it until 6 months later the micro USB port died. Instead of fixing it, I used the GNex that just sat there. I now have my mom's upgrade available in July. So why not wait to see if the RUMORed X Phone will see the light of day, and then make my choice. If these specs pan out, the battery is removable, and there is a removable sim card (might not matter) - X phone all the way! Of course it all depends on the Galaxy S4, and Sprint getting the X Phone. (God, I never pray, but please, I will do what ever you say- But only if you give me an X Phone from Sprint) I am kidding. Calm down Jesus Freaks.

Of course the Rumor news has now been called Not concrete at all. I guess the Nvidia chip doesn't support CDMA, and the masses believe Motorola will not - not make a phone for Verizon, being their biggest partner. Funny thing is- Google didn't care about CDMA for Nexus 4. But the masses didn't mention that. Either way the X Phone is still not confirmed as real. PS I might be willing to switch to Tmo if that phone was real and didn't support CDMA- as long as Tmo has working LTE in my area.

I highly doubt the s4 will even have a SD card slot. Google is trying to push cloud storage which dies make sense. Prepare for SD cards to become a thing of the past soon

They need to just increase the size of internal storage for people with limited data plans, cloud storage is just a money spinner for google an carriers, apple did it long before google with iCloud an its a failure, common sense learn from histories mistakes.

I think you should wait just to check out the S4, the new nexus witch KLP and the google X phone configs. But if have to buy a new phone now, I would buy a S3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBowermaster:
Waiting to see what S4 brings. If its not enough, getting Note 2. Love Galaxy Nexus, but the finicky battery leaves more to be desired. Don't want to wait for X Phone as the resale value of the Nexus will be crap by then.
