[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H4R81N63R:
A red blinking light is indicative of low battery (meaning the phone doesn't have enough remaining charge to start). Usually connecting it to the charger for an hour or so (regardless if the phone is on or not) is enough to charge it so that it can start. However, if you have already tried this and haven't been able to start the phone, it might be a battery problem, like [MENTION=4376472]WizaJ[/MENTION] indicated.

As for the bricking, its possible that your friend failed to flash a compatible JB kernel when flashing the JB rom, which may have lead to the phone getting (soft)bricked. If you somehow get your phone to enter flashmode, you can simply reflash the full ICS rom (including kernel) to get the phone running. Offline charging is a hardware capability, and the phone will still charge offline even if it doesn't show any logo, charging animation, or charging led.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebulletfromhell:
The red blinking light only appeared a couple of times before, and when it did, I could (briefly) use the reset command(vol+ power), and entered flashmode/fastboot. However, currently, I'm unable to do any of that, and the phone returned to the state I received it in. The light would remain a static red, and the led will turn off after a certain amount of time. Pressing the power button, or replugging the phone will cause the red light to return. Although once or twice before, the phone would be detected by the PC as an unknown device(device cannot start) in the USB section, even though the light is still red.

[MENTION=5143953]rakz992[/MENTION] tried that before, no change
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EowynCarter:
You need the fastbook driver. Install flashtool. And install fastboot drivers that comes with it. With the sola i had to do it twice. So if that fails, try again.

The blue light means the phone enter fastboot mode, but, because of the PC not having the driver, fails.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebulletfromhell:
Fastboot + Flashtool driver - check. I already rooted and bl unlocked an Xperia S a few weeks before, driver is the same. My problem is, I can't get it into blue light if its connected to the pc, only the wall. But I can't connect it to the PC fast enough that the light don't switch back to its previous state
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
Both of these to me, correlate with my idea that it's a battery failure. If the battery is malfunctioning, that explains why the phone is changing states unpredictability with no stability - simply because there is not enough charge to sustain computer connection in the connected mode, hence unknown device etc.

When the device is connected to the wall, it's receiving the same 5v from as it would from USB port but the (milli) amps are different, given that there's no data interface in wall charging mode, that may explain why the LED stays on in the wall mode and not when connected to the computer.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebulletfromhell:
After leaving it to drain over night, I noticed something. If the battery is at, or near 0, then the vol+ power command work to turn off the red light, and thus the phone. However, after leaving it plugged into the wall for 10 minutes, it returned to the red light state, no command work. I think the phone it booting somehow, but the kernel is not compatible and put it into a freeze state. On a Sky Vega device, if you flash a JB recovery onto an ICS device, the recovery would not boot and it'd result in a black screen. Could this be something similar?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
Yes, I think this may also be possible but I have am doubtful because AFAIK fastboot is a protocol controlled by the bootloader, not the kernel so in theory, even if there's an incompatibility you should still be able to access fastboot.

Long shot but we haven't ruled out the computer entirely as a problem, no? Do you get the same results on another machine?

Could you also link us to the guide your friend used to flash the phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
Glad you resolved the problem.:good:

The whole time you weren't using a wall charger?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebulletfromhell:
No, I was always using a wall charger. After the flash, it would not boot, red light, so I plugged it back into the wall charger and pressed power on. Then the sony logo came up.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Please don't spam, you only allowed to "bump" a thread once every 24 hours. Wait patienty, someone would help.

To enter flash mode, the phone must be turned off, connect the usb to the phone while you pressing volume down.

You can try with flashtool just open to see it enters flash mode, then disconnect the phone and start flashing, connect the phone when flashtool ask you to.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wind07:
OK NOOBS A HARD BRICK MEANS YOU ARE SCREWED. IF YOU ARE LUCKY THEN YOU CAN RECOVER. OTHERWISE NOT. OK?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
dude...y don't u read the instruction carefully.. huh.?

U HAVE FLASHED THE KERNEL ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER.....but it requires unlocked bootloader only....so u have to use flashtool to recover ur device...!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebulletfromhell:
Try this: Leave the device to drain/unplug the battery and press the power button for 5~10 seconds. Then plug it into the wall, using a Samsung or Sony charger(No aftermarket stuff, have to be OEM). Leave it overnight. After ~24 hours, hold down the volume- key and press the power button. If you get a green light after 10 - 20 seconds, you're good to go. Use Volume+ Power 3 vibration to turn it off, plug it in to the PC and do the volume- power thing again.

[Nexus 4 General] For_itembine:
without a skin?....

DISPLAY - much better on the G + more screen real estate

SPEAKER - crystal clear and super loud vs tinny and average

LTE - vs no LTE

BUILD QUALITY - nexus 4 feels cheap, the back so called "glass" feels like plastic

STORAGE - 32 vs 16gb

BATTERY LIFE - optimus G is better

but the price bracket, its possibly the best phone out now. but $200 more (where i live) you can buy a better version but with LGS skin and slow updates/if any

what i am getting at is, its NOT an optimus G running stock like everyone thinks, if you have held an optimus G you will know how premium it feels, the sound, the display (regardless of gamma, francos kernel, looks better on the G) storage, LTE, etc
[Nexus 4 General] MrBelter:

Yes this is i think the best to do now.

But do it if you are sure.

It can maybe brick you device
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AndroidHoneyComb:
Use flashtool, it won't brick your device if you don't do it on purpose. He has a boot loop on the animation so he is not hard bricked. If he can access flash mode then he can restore his device. He just needs to flash the ftf that is for his device

Never update your unlocked boot loader phone with PC companion and over the air as it will brick your device. Flash new Sony updates using flashtool

With the official flashtool they want to prupose update for unlocked.

Hi,

I have Sony Xperia t2 ultra dual D5322 with android 5.1.

Once I unlock the bootloader,

If I flash stock rom (ftf)via flash tool,whether my bootloader still in unlocked mode or in locked mode??

if it's in unlock mode, installing the custom recovery and flashing superSU package will lead BOOTLOOP or not

I am asking you only because I install the TWRP and update superSU in locked mode.which results in system hang on bootlogo.

Is custom recovery can change the file system permission from readonly to readwrite if yes how??

Please answer me,

Hi,

Can anyone point me to some working Bluetooth Stacks for the XDAII that will run on the WM2003SE upgrade please.

My matey has upgraded his XDAII using Sin's merged WM2003SE upgrade (worked great for a Vodafone network!) and installed the MS BT Stack however this only gives partial results when using BT.

He is able to use the headset etc without any problems however when he tries to use the XDAII in his BMW (2005 model 320ci, built-in BT) he is getting intermittant results i.e WM2003SE connects with the car and the headest without a problem however there is a delay before the car picks up the phone when its ringing and on most occasions simply drops the call.

I wanted to know what other stacks are out there that may be worth trying, I have downloaded Toshiba's BT stack and the Widcom stack but I don't know of any others...

Advise much appreciated..

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] 916senna:
FWIW, to those that have the BMW bluetooth, You will find the first time you make or recieve a call, you have to do it twice. IE dial the number, it will not connect, then redial and it works.

Same when you get a call, answer, it wont connect, then answer a second time and it will connect.

After the first call, it will then work as you would expect.

If you dial directly from the phone it will tranfer to the car kit, but not until the other party actually answers, you wont hear the ringing of the phone.

The big frustration is that although you get sound from the car speakers, I think its only the microphone in the phone that is working. So the other party may have trouble hearing you if your phones in a brief case or your pocket.

Hope that helps :D

I was also messing up with the fastboot commands. To flash the kernel, I kept initiating the "fastboot boot boot.img". Thisd command is ok but it only boots the phone with that kernel temporarily. So I had to initiate "fastboot flash boot boot.img" this flashes the kernel permanently until overwriten. I forgot one word and it became a headake for a long time! LOL!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankwang.eu:
Android 4.2 supports multiple users. As I understand it, each of them runs in a sandbox with their own apps and data space; the different users cannot see each other's data. The primary user, the device owner, has the option to delete the accounts of other users.

What happens if a secondary user installs an app that requires device-administrator rights, such as password rules and "erase all data"? Do those rights apply to all users? Could the secondary user initiate a remote wipe that way? For example, AirDroid requests such rights and as a secondary user I can approve those rights. Those rights do not show up in the device-administrator list of the primary user, even though Android explicitly explains to the second user: "Erase the tablet's data without warning by performing a factory reset", not "Erase the user's data".

I don't really feel like trying out a remote wipe just to see what happens. Is there anyone here who knows? I haven't been able to find out on Google etc.
