[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Zoeriva:
Hi,

I had the same problem. When the light turns red wait until the light goes out. Make sure you have flashtool open and make sure you only flash the kernel. Now when the red light goes out hold volume down and plug in the usb cabel connecting to your pc, a green light wil appear. Now really fast flash only the kernel. The phone will go into a bootloop once and goes out again. Now put on the homecharger and wait untill it is about 50 percent. Now put the phone on and everything works as before.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
Can I flash with any stock Kernel that is made for the Xperia Tor does it need to be a particular one that will match the firmware that is on the phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
flash the stock kernel for your FW.

Load the FW into flashtool and exclude everything except kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
There doesn't seem to be a Build 9.1.A.0.489 (phone had android 4.1.2 and phone is factory unlocked) in the Kernal section in your thread unless I am missing the point?

Downloaded the stock kernel that was in the DooMKernal thread you posted but that doesn't seem to be compatible with flashtool as it is in img and elf files :confused:

Sorry for acting dumb.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thats ok, download the stock kernel that I posted and do what the other user said but go into fastboot mode in flashtool instead,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
What seems to be happening now is that I have to hold volume up and the power button for maximum 30 seconds whilst not connecting the phone to either wall charger or USB seems to reset the phone.

I then press the volume down button and connect via USB and then the PC detects the phone and I then try to select a kernel to flash and in the logging box I get the following:

19/019/2013 19:19:18 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

19/019/2013 19:19:18 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

19/019/2013 19:19:22 - INFO - Device disconnected
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, I will try to get a ftf file with the kernel in for you to try and flash it in flashmode...it may be a while though.

I am making it now....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
Thanks for your help :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No problem,

I am making a full ftf but will also make a stock kernel ftf.

It just has to sit and wait for it to decrypt now...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Zoeriva:
Sorry, i forgot to tell you to go into flashmode, i used the firmware with .489 and used the kernel from there and it worked.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Uploading kernel now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
Thanks :)

I think RTFM springs to mind which I will be doing when the phone is back up and running :laugh:

Is there any particular reason why the phone ended up crashing like it did after the modified kernel was flashed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Not sure, but once its working again we might find out.

PS,

I am a maths teacher and I often say to students to RTFQ when they miss some information from the question ;)

try this

LT30p_9.1.A.0.489_Kernel.ftf - 6.72 MB
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
Tried to get the phone detected again last night which I couldn't, decided to put it back on charge again over night and now still can't get it to be detected again by USB.

It's now beginning to drive me round the twist :silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Looks like we are running out of options here.

Have you tried another cable and and another PC?

Where you sucessful in flashing the kernel.ftf
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
No unfortunately, couldn't get the PC to detect :(

Have tried another usb cable and PC but will try these again.

If I press the volume up button now and the power button without plugging in, the red led just flashes which is presumed a low battery but from what I have read on battery cycles I could be going round in circles?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I am starting to think there is something wrong with the phone.

if no combination of key presses causes the phone to be detected in flashmode or fastboot then there is not much more I can suggest.

You could try going back to the shop, but an unlocked bootloader means your warrenty is void, but if they cant get it to turn on, how will they know?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
The issue is that I unlocked the bootloader by requesting a code using the IMEI through the online service from Sony..

The Sony website says that unlocking the bootloader may void the warranty and they will likely charge a significant service fee but worth a shot I guess.

Thanks for your help :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Zoeriva:
I also had to try it several times, what kind of windows do you have? If you use windows 8 you have to do something else.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

And you must hold the volume down button, then put in the usb cable and then press the power button.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] karlywarly:
Unfortunately I ended up shipping it to the repair centre SBE that Sony deal with in the UK.

Hopefully with a bit of luck they won't make a fuss about the unlocked bootloader and just repair the phone.

If it comes back unrepaired then I guess i'm going to have another play with it and try to get it working again.

Other than that try installing the drivers from the driver folder of flashtool.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceball24:
Hi everybody.

I have a problem :)

I followed the instructions from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187363&page=32 to get CWM for locked Bootloaders.

Everything was fine, it worked, I did already a backup with the CWM. Then I rebooted to the OS, went home, wanted to reboot to recovery to try to flash a custom stock based ROM, but now I can not get anymore into the recovery. Neither with booting up and pressing the volume key, nor with titanium backup and boot to recovery option.

I tried to reinstall CWM using the script, but no success to get into CWM. See also the screenshot attached from krabappel2548's script.

Any Ideas??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakwak:
I had the same Problem, i restored the original Software again via Seus and i forgot about the CWM until we get something really working !
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceball24:

Just to inform everybody who may have the same problem:

I reseted the Z via sony update service (also did a FW upgrade), rooted with latest easy root and installed then CWM for locked bootloaders.

Now it seems working fine. was able to boot into recovery several times.
[HTC One X] mautz001:
I just got a new One X (well it was a used one :D) but I have one big problem - wireless is not really working... It connects but the signal strength is not very great (sometimes only the "Bottom" of the signal bar is white and the bars are all greyed out). Sometimes even on full signal I have a speed from 250 kb/s and pages are not loading. But 1 minute later I have a speed of 11 MB/s (wich is the fastest speed I can get here)... Its very frustrating while watching youtube videos or using WhatsApp...

Is there a RADIO Upgrade for One X? Or should I sent it to costumer Support? Or is there anything I can do?

I am using the ViperX ROM and have a SpeedPort W701V Router from T-Mobile (Germany)

Thanks :)

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well there can be 3 options

1: you can try different settings/channels on the router

2: you are on the 3.18 base of the viper x .... the base has WiFi issues with alot of people. No real solution for that atm (HTC fault)

3: you have a faulty WiFi module, early builds of the HTC one X can experience it. Its hardware related
[HTC One X] mautz001:
tried different router already - didnt help. Also tried other ROM - didnt help either...

Well, hardware fault I think.. :/ what can I do? self repair? (without soildering I hope :D)

I upgraded my Transformer 101 and Nexus7 to the latest version 4.2, after doing so both machines failed to recognise or read my hard drive. This drive is a samsung 1 TB usb 2 model and has always worked up until this version of android, it is not just Paranoid, I have tried various 4.2 Roms with the same result.

I also tried reformatting the hard drive to exfat with the same result. Third party apps eg. stickmount recognise and mount the drive but it cannot be read.

I have reverted to 4.1.2 and the drive is working okay.

Any idea of a work around for this problem.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM

Thanks to Charles Warner, who answered our call for a coding volunteer, we now have an advanced theft protection system. It's called IIWPO, which stands for Interesting Interactions With the Previous Owner.

Simply go to the ROMkitchen and create a ROM with the theft protection feature turned on. Enter your name as you will enter it in the 'Owner Information', and a GSM number of a friend that you want to send the messages to.

Then when someone steals your phone, they probably want to either change the name of the owner, or cold boot the phone altogether. Either way, the device detects that the owner name doesn't contain your name at the next wakeup, and sends one or more SMS messages to the number you set. In the best case, the new 'owner' provided address and all other relevant information. If he/she didn't, at least you have the new phone number of your phone.

How it works:

Registry settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-developers\IIWPO]

Owner: set to owner name device is tied too (this is the master check, won't send a sms if user changed to this one)

LastOwner: set to owner name device is tied too (this one changes as the user name changes, simply to detect changes)

ReportNumber: set to phone number to report changes too.

Files:

IIWPO_main.exe goes in \windows

IIWPO_startup.exe goes in \windows\startup

it sends one of two text messages if the owner details are changed, if they are set to "nothing", then it sends :-

"Name not set, will pick up details if user changes name again"

if the name is filled in it sends :-

"Name : <user name> (<company name>), email : <email address>, phone : <phone number>" this string is guaranteed less than 160 characters.

if the Address will fit in the same text message, it is appeneded as ",Add : <address>", otherwise a seperate text message containing the address is sent.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] gazzaman2k:
what if they were to cold boot it? wouldnt that erase the s.w? or is it in the rom?

also what if they put a sim in with no cred?

lmk cheers

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] wuffi:
If you read the article carefully, you would know... It's directly on the first line: "The ROMkitchen now offers theft protection in ROM" 8)

If they put in a SIM with no credit, no SMS will be sent, I think... :shock:

It will send as soon as it can...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
This is amazing. Well done once again!!!

I have one additional suggestion. Please see http://www.psiloc.com/?id=prod&nrp=53 for a cool application running on Symbian. If one has access to similar APIs on the XDA to get cell info it would be trivial to include location data in the SMS message sent when the device is stolen. This way it could be actually possible to locate it.

And a question, when the SMS is sent by this hidden process does it still generate Message Sent baloons? It would be good if it did not. Thanks for all your efforts.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
We don't yet have an easy way to get the location data without doing really weird things. (ROM 3.19.x GER has it, but it's not easily transplanted to other ROMs). Work is in progress though...

It doesn't. You get to be the first to tell the new 'owner' about the feature.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Try setting the owner name to something other than your own name you set in the kitchen, make the device go to standby, wake it up again, and see if your friend gets the SMS.

Theft Protection

All this assumes of course that the thief hasn't heard about XDA-Developers and the means to flash ROMs
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Re: Theft Protection

Yep. IIWPO builds on the assumption there are significantly more people that do not know about its existence than people that do. It builds on SBO: Security By Obscurity, which is usually not a very good concept for security design. But it is adequate in this circumstance, given that it's very hard to build something which would be secure against a knowing attacker without modifying the hardware or messing with bootloader and OS in such a way that the attacker cannot load a new OS. But then the attacker could just use JTAG. And even if he she could not: given the cheap supply of units with broken screens which are incredibly expensive to fix, the screen is by far the most valuable part.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] alqwerty:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] gazzaman2k:
when i reset my xda it sent a text to my dad as i have his number on it...

but now it doesnt send none at all i changed it to my name then i decided um i want to try it out to see if it works so i put in noddy and pressed ok but no text :| so i restarted the xda and it still didnt send no text so i just put it back to normal and left it at that :\
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] belial:
it performs its checks on wakeup, I am unsure if soft-reset (what I figure you mean by restarted) would trigger the check. Change your name to noddy, turn it off, and turn it back on again.

I've had my device running at least a month now without hard reset, and just changed name to noddy, turned it off, and back on again, and it sent the relevant text message.

If you are sure it isn't working email me at chuck@spritesoftware.com and we'll find out what the problem is.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
I installed the theft protection (correctly this time), entered my details and secondary phone number. It is very neat, I got a message from the phone when there was no name in the owner info box, the message sent reads "Name not set, will pick up details if user changes name again", it is a brilliant little program as it supplies the phone number of the resident sim which hopefully enables you to get some details of its whereabouts. Well done to the programmer for this little gem. Even if you couldnt get your phone back, you could drive the person crazy as it will inform you even if the sim is changed again, sms bombing springs to mind. :)

IIPWO .solution to my problem?

First I flash from kitchen with the IIPWO program

I reflash the rom without the IIPWO and backup my programs with sprite backup program.

Now It comes the message IIPWO_main.exe dont found in c:\windows.

How can I solve it without a cold reset?

There must be a place not the registry and not the startup and not the rom when the program starts, becauses I delete from the windows\startup and windows

Can I write the IIPWO_main.exe , from somewhere ,again to solve it?

So, how many actually do have it enabled in your ROM? Not that we lose our phones every other day, but are there any stories to share so far?

Successfully recovered phones as a result of IIWPO :D ? Finders who are still getting calls every night at 3am till today :twisted: ? or, what I'd really like to know more about - phones with IIWPO that never made it home, and were never heard from again :cry: ...

I think it's an awesome feature, and I've got it on my phone :) ! A big thanks to the the people who made it happen.
