[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
You could open the phone and disconnect the battery, or let the phone sit long enough for it the battery to die.

This will reset the phone.

Only problem is how long to let the battery die, as there is no way to tell.

Once the phone resets make flashtool ready to flash just the kernel, and use a rubber band to hold the volume down button in.

With flashtool waiting and button pressed plug in to PC.

It should give red led for about 10 minutes then flash.

You can read more tips & tricks in the RECOVERY thread in my signature.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sliverer:
Well, the incident happened a few weeks ago and after I charged it over night and it didn't work, I left it there for nearly two weeks and nothing has changed so far. In your post, you said, that you had to wait for 51 hours until your battery died but two weeks is quite long I think...

What do you suggest? I think, I'll send it in, if the battery is broken, the warranty should cover it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
I would call Sony and get the ball rolling on a warranty claim.

Sorry for your loss, and good luck

Simple fix I think. This has worked for Xperia S and Xperia U. Both phone i brought as "DAMAGED". LOL. Battery is toooooo dead for the phone to detect it..... Use a wall charger to charge the battery up :D. I used a charger off ebay ($2 including post) that was for a Galaxy I9000 battery (old phone) and used wires and taped them to the battery..... Didn't even need to fully charge it! just like a jump start sort of thing...

Came up with the idea as at work we have to "jumpstart" car batteries to trick the charger into charging them :D

If you have a DC power source that puts out 4.2v at 350mA +/- 50mA then TRY IT and please let me know.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sliverer:
Well, I have a lithium charger for round-type-batteries, but we're talking about lithium here and if the battery is really damaged, it could be quite dangerous to charge it. The output of the charger is 1A, too, quite a bit higher.

I tried a last thing and took the battery out but it still only shows a red light while charging, so I'm going to try to send it in.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] __xEpiiC_Us3R-:
R: Xperia S dead?

IT happened The same for Me...

I was very worried..

I plugged to charge for 21h... Unplugged but Nothing!!

So i replugged iT and watched for 1H.. Suddenly IT Booted(But opened only logo Sony And Crashed!) So i Tried to unplugg and power on the phone but nothing.. No booted!!

So after 25m iT rebooted and like a furet i dropped my phone from The table and like a crazy tried to go in recovery.. So it Gone in Recovery i've Wiped ALL And Reinstalled Fw-Kernel.

So now i'm using The Xperia S :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stifilz:
Still not going then??? Might as well order a charger for a couple of bucks off ebay... :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] paddukutti:
i have the same problem, if i put to charge just red led comes.

and if i press power+vol up nothing happens.. some time later the red led went off so then i tried power+vol up i got 3 vibration,

but phone is not booting, so i tried to charge later red led came in while but now power + vol up is also not working.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
Hi

I have problem motorola not allow to unlock my bootloader with this massege:

Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.

This Photon Q is from Sprint .

Any one help?

m.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Copy and paste the code. It has to match EXACTLY.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
Hi arrrghhh

This is a code :

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ehm... I meant copy and paste it into the fastboot command to avoid typo's.

Again, if you even get 1 character wrong, the unlock will fail.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Do not post the code publicly, first part of it is your IMEI.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
Oki fix remove any symbol.

Any idea what is the problem ?

I copy and paste the code many time but not success. :(

m.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I didn't quote the code for a reason. Skrilax_CZ recommended you remove it, and I would concur.

Edit your post and remove the code. I never wanted you to paste it in here, sorry I did not make that clear.

At any rate, all I can say is make VERY sure that the code you are provided is the SAME code you are using for the fastboot command.

I didn't even think about asking - but I assume you're not using it as a CDMA device. Did you buy one with a bad ESN? If so, I wonder if they prevent bad ESN devices from being officially unlocked...

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
Oki

I find a solution after update to last new version

Download this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143437

After download and share fail with samba windows or mac sharing, you need to mount from file manage > remote storage

After fix permission go to adb folder and type : "adb shell", "cd /mnt/rfs0", "./su" , "cd /", "ln -s /mnt /storage"

Next step go to console and type :

adb kill-server

adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn

Next : Install apk package from phone , Reboot Phone and now your phone is rooted!

Update from Play Market SuperSu and go.

Best regards,

Rooting and unlocking bootloader is not the same thing.

Yes not the same but in this moment motorola support dumb to give unlock.

and this is solution for my.

would pester them until they do.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Al936:
Try to enter the code manually.

In may case when I copy and paste the code I also got the message "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

However when I entered the code manually I got unlock code.

First of all the site won't even load most of the time on Chromium, IE opens it fine. Typing code manually doesn't help, any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You're sure it hasn't already been unlocked?

Did you try copy and paste?

What error do you get?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] saint_tm:
The SDK reboot to fastboot says it is locked (on phone screen).

Yes copy and paset was my first try (few times, 4 lines, not 5)

Error in IE is "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Where was your Q purchased? Second hand I presume?

I wonder if bad ESN devices do not qualify. Or if it has been unlocked, and relocked... perhaps it cannot be unlocked again.

Do you ever experience any difficulties when you actually need to use gps functionality, such as when driving?

I used to experience the same on my Samsung Galaxy S. While standing still it would take forever to lock, but every time I needed GPS to navigate, it would work just fine. It used to be like that on my N4 as well. Since flashing a different kernel though, acquiring a lock takes about 5 seconds. That's about 10 less than it used to take, and I'm holding a kernel reflash responsible for that :p

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
GPS locking can be many things. In the past (my HTC Sensation) this occured most times when using a kernel other than stock. Crypted, a member here did a LOT of testing and different things to get agps locks. You can use his files if need be. But remember, that every time you flash a new rom, that gps.conf file will be replaced with whatever the Rom is bundled with.

EDIT: Off topic...post #666 ooooooooooooooooooo lol

I had a similar issue with mine. Flashed so many Roms and kernels that didn't help. I'm on maggodins ROM and Franco now which has been perfect. Also try getting a fix with GPS test, set it to keep screen on and let it sit for ten minutes. Apparently it let's it gather agps and satellite data for your region so future locks are better.

On droid forums they had sub forums for each ROM. You could tell by the post count and number of threads which ROMs were trending (ie which ROMs were generally agreed upon as being best), and could easily see based on thread titles if there were any (or many) significant bugs.

I don't see why this level of clarity should be intentionally obfuscated and prohibited from being inquired about simply for the sake of developer feelings being hurt by people knowing that their ROM is not the most popular or recommended ROM.

What XDA aught to be doing is creating sub forums for the most active developers, like droid forums.

Sure, I would go over there, but they don't cover the E4GT.

That this information is not readily available for consumption might be why we see so many of the same threads.

For some reason it is also saving it before the SD card folder in data/media/something/backup/date
