[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlpip:
Trying to fix an Xperia Play R800at. It was running the R800a 2.3.4 North American Generic ftf, and my son had rooted it using gingerbreak (he thinks) on flashtool. Also at one point he attempted to unlock the bootloader but doesn't think that worked

Anyway, the phone was running fine for a long while, and then we switched from a 16gb sd to a 32gb sd. During the switch my son moved some games from the phone memory to the sd. Other than the loss of game progress, everything seemed to be working fine. About a week later the screen started going black during games or when he closed the phone. Because of the feedback he could tell the phone was still operating, just no lit screen. The problem would clear on reboot.

So we researched the problem on Sony and XDA, and it appears the best solution was to reload the software. However since the phone was rooted we had to reload using flashtool first, and then force a recovery reload via PCC. Meanwhile the phone display stopped working altogether and the phone would vibrate but seemingly not boot up.

Steps we have taken so far:

- flashed back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 using flashtool Result: flashtool said successful but phone would vibrate but not boot

- used PCC to load the Xperia R800 Play software Result: software for phone not found

- used X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf just in case my son was able to unlock the bootloader

- flashed back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 using flashtool Result: flashtool said successful but phone would vibrate but not boot

- used PCC and the Sony Recovery to load the Xperia R800 Play software onto the phone Result: successful load but goes into bootloop (SE logo comes up bright, fades, blacks out, and does it again and again

- tried various other play ftfs in flashtool - flashtool now telling me USB Debugging is off, and WARN - This file is ignored : simlock.ta - ftf loads otherwise, but Sony's Recovery tool does not recognize anything but the AT&T software

- went back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 and then re-updated on Sony - same bootloop

- tried to boot the phone in fastboot mode by holding the search button and plugging the usb in - appears to connect in flash mode

So - I believe it is now un-rooted, and relocked, USB Debugging is off, the standard AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 software is on there, it goes into bootloop

Any ideas how to fix from here?

I got a soft bick recently in my Xperia Play r800a, but the screen always worked. What I did was flash an r800i ftf and it worked. The simlock.ta omission is maybe an effect of flashing the x10 BL unlock bundle, but it doesnt work to unlock the xplay, and maybe thats why the phone is like that (who knows..... just never flash something made for other model until it is confirmed to work on yours, like some arc and neo v basebands and scripts)

The debugging off state is caused by the stock ftf flashed. When you flash it you get a complete new system with stock configs, so the debuggin is set off by default and thats what you got. Its also unrooted, just if you were wondering :(

Maybe you should try flashing an r800i ftf (all r800a,at,i work on your device, cause they are all GSM. But NEVER flash an r800x Rom cause it works on CDMA, and it will surely brick your phone.

You could also try to flash a custom stock-based Rom. They can work on stock kernel and will give you a clean sytem as well, but since your screen is not working, it has to be in .ftf format. Just check 'skip kernel' and 'skip confirmation' when doing so.

The only method for a branded phone for unlocking bootloader is to use testpont method (paid) by alejandrissimo (look unlock-bootloader.com). He maybe repair your phone btw ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzbored:
when you did this were you using the latest version of flashtool? installed all adb drivers? is the AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 the original back up image of the phone it was rooted? or did you download this from any other source?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlpip:
Update

Yes - latest version of flashtool. AT&T ftf came from the one listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603737

I actually did the Blagus relocking ftf which says it is for the Play too here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134334 After I did this Sony Mobile Update Service started recognizing the phone and 285 sw version and allowed software download and repair.

I figured the Debugging setting and the rooting reset when I flashed it. I tried r800i ftf - same problem. Was thinking about a custom ROM but first things first. I am going to replace the ribbon cable and try again. I suspect the original problem was possibly ribbon cable related. (I shot alejandrissimo a note and he suggested I try this first as well.)

Thanks both for your reponses.

I have a rooted galaxy nexus. I was trying to factory reset my phone, which I did, but I also erased my internal SD card as well, which had my roms on it. I can get into fast boot and recovery mode. I have TWRP installed as my recovery. I am unsure how to install a new OS on it, since the nexus has no internal SD card. Step by step instructions would be a great help if anyone knows how to do this. Thanks in advance :)

I have a completely stock galaxy note 2. For some reason sometimes when I pull down the notification bar and the icons are scrolling across the top you can easily see stuttering. Scrolling through some menus sometimes as well. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a hardware problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Since you're completely stock I would be taking it back to where I bought it, that doesn't sound right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bigjim1488:
Sometimes the phone will do this when it's pulling data or installing something or looking for updates. Don't think there is really a fix for this besides maybe a custom rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:

Agree, custom Rom you'll be much happier. Your here on XDA already so why not??

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawhrid:
I flashed the latest 4.2.2 factory image from google. but it wont boot. stuck at ''X'' boot animation. I can access bootloader. I have tried several times but no luck. it still stucks at boot logo. then i flashed team win recovery and tried to install a custom rom(xenon hd stable 6.0) by pushing rom files by adb. But unfortunately recovery cant factory reset or wipe the cache. it fails. and even it fails to flash the custom rom zip file. Now i have fallen in a completely stupid situation. Please somebody help. Before flashing i was in xylon rom with twrp recovery. Before that i had cwm recovery. But I thought flashing factory image will completely wipe everything. But I cant figure out why it is happening. Please help.

I figured out something ! I have flashed CWM 6.0.23 recovery now. and it says it cant mount anything. I think there is the problem. What can i DO ppl? :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Flash the stock recovery and clear cache.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawhrid:

Solved !! :D

At first I tried all types of ''mounting sd card'' process in adb. none worked.

Finally

in CWM recovery > Mounts and storage > format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) [ not to be confused with the full ''format /sdcard'' option ]

and it worked. Thanks BTW
[Motorola Droid RAZR] duskinv:
Afternoon,

Well today i got a coworkers phone that he will be switching to when his new card comes in so i tried using RSDLite to flash back to .211 stock ICS (phone was on ICS but had old bootloader and such from previous owner) I had files from RSD and such from when i did this to my phone so that way i could jump to JB [had no issues] I ran RSD and said 100% complete PASS etc but it still wont leave boot loop? cant figure out why i would boot loop from rsd.

Did step by step...

reboot phone into Fast boot,

Run RSD,

Load zip file, decompress and flash

100% it auto reboots phone than wont boot past animation.

model: XT912

On RSDlite 5.7

Filename: VRZ_XT912_6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31_1FF.xml <- file i use to flash

Creation Date: 06/14/2012 21:10:20

File size: 1818

Sofware Version: 6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31

For Phone Model: SPYDER

I have searched numerous posts and couldn't find an answer in which relates, besides make sure for CDMA instead of GSM,

If someone could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MsFidget:
Hey guys! Four or five days ago my phone started acting weird- freezing, I'd open the camera and it would close, etc. I took the battery out after work and sure enough, it spun. I put in my other battery and everything was fine for a couple of days. Now it's freezing and the screen is sometimes fine, then will be completely unresponsive or when I'm texting it will act like I'm holding down buttons. I have to pull the battery to get it to stop.

The second battery is my original and doesn't spin. Is it possible that my other battery is just starting to go bad? Could I have damaged the phone by leaving the bad battery in until my shift was over? Or do you think I'm having some other issue?

I'm on GB08- stock/rooted and everything has been great up until now. I haven't installed any new apps lately...

I'm waiting for a new battery in the mail so I can't see how it acts with a new battery yet.

thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Try a fresh flash of the ROM. Before that, try wiping cache and Dalvik cache.

The new battery will definitely make a difference.

Your original battery doesn't need to be swollen to be borked.

If you wouldn't mind, would you try to turn off wifi to use the ATT3g connection, then browse the full list of ROMs available? It won't even pull up the lists on 3g for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
If you're not the only one with this issue, it's quite possible that their servers are down atm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigblue95z:
Can browse fine through Comcast. Can even pull down files. Just not from my phone. IT policy won't let anyone connect devices to PC. That's why I need to do it over the phone. But it's becoming a hassle and I'll just wait until I'm home I suppose.

EDIT: So this is DEFINATELY a DNS issue with ATT 3g. Used SetDNS to use the Google Public DNS and it pulled it in first try within a couple seconds. Just FYI for anyone else with this issue.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ankitsxperiago:
Search for custom Rom for <your mobile model no> in xda.

There are many like Cyanogen mod Xperia ultimate HD......etc.

But I like the stock one and I don't recommend anyone to flash their phones with custom ROM because for that you have to unlock your bootlader and if you did it u will lose your warranty and if you something wrong while flashing, your phone might get BRICKED.

You can try different launchers from the market and apply different skins.They are nice,I suggest you to have Apex launcher.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kooldude.4141:
Ok so i had flashed real ics v4 on my friends phone. Later someone decided to upgrade it to v r6. Since then the touch of xperia mini pro isnt working. He gave the cell to me and i tried fixing it. Strangely, the touch works only when i select xperia active as my phone instead of xperia mini pro. I saw all the post regarding this issue, but came to no conclusion hence i had to create this thread. So as soon as i flash stock rom on xperia mini pro, the touch stops working again. This is really strange and in a way confirms the touch sensor isnt broken but somehow the sw got messed up. Any fix for this issue? :confused:

DEVELOPERS ONLY

These builds are very unstable and should

not

be used on a daily base. It's pretty much just a preview of a preview. Use these builds at your own risk!

Ubuntu Touch is not ready for daily usage yet and these builds lack a lot of functionality usually available in Ubuntu Touch - you have been warned!

I will publish new builds when new features are done! Please do not aks for ETAs as this is very new stuff to work on, for me.

Information

These builds are based on Andromadus Android ROMs, I use the kernel and device configuration and I would not have anything to deliver yet if I could not use these sources as a base.

You can find the source of my phablet build on Github.

I will host the builds on http://share.cascaded-web.com/phablet-saga/alpha

...go to flinny/Andromadus for their awesome work on the saga Cyanogenmod 10.1 port. Which phablet-saga uses as the base.

Display

WIFI

SMS

Not working

Everything else...

These are the most annoying things:

3G (not implemented in Ubuntu Touch at all yet)

Camera

Battery Indicator

Installation

fetch both zip files from the current build

don't forget to create a backup of your current ROM

do a full wipe (system/data/cache)

flash the phablet-saga file

make sure you have at least one gb of free space on /sdcard (else the next flash will fail)

flash quantal-preinstalled
