[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Hello XDA! I have been a keen follower of this forum for long, but this is my first post, 'cause well... this is the first time I pretty stuck at something.

I have a Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) and I have been using it for quite a while, around 2 years I presume. I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader by the end of the first year, and have been trying out several custom roms, until stopping at CM10.1 of LegacyXperia. (the amazing creation of Mike for our 2011-line of devices!) However, as of a month back, my touchscreen kinda broke - it wouldn't respond along with the capacitive buttons. I tried the methods mentioned in the general section, but no avail - it simply wouldn't work at all. There's a thin small strip that appears around the screen during pulling out the hardware keyboard, and I guess that somewhat suggests that the touchscreen is invalid by hardware means.

However, that's merely a background to the problem I'm facing. Recently, after the launch of CM11, I thought of giving it a swing, seeing how I have been an avid-fan of the pure look of CM. I tried flashing the kernel using flashtool and start the phone, but the only thing that takes place is just a vibration and a black screen. The screen remains black for like ever, until I pull out the battery. I tried flashing the kernel thrice, and the same problem persisted all through. I reverted back to the stock ICS then and it worked like a charm, and the same goes for FXP CM10 and the last CM10.1 I used... there's no problem whatsoever, save for the broken touchscreen.

Any suggestion one might give about my problem? Thanks a ton for reading out everything! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
The kernel is incompatible with your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Care to explain a little more? :) I have flashed the kernel provided within the rom zip itself (as suggested time and time again), and I have double checked its for the correct device - i.e. mango.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
kernel is for mango??unofficial port right...can you provide the rom link once.....??

This is the one - LegacyXperia CM11 by mikeioannina. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
yeah i though so...was going through the post...did you try this..

1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

As the rom requires a new partition table and maybe system and userdata is conflicting...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Thanks a lot for pointing it out, mate! :D Usually the roms I tried didn't require such a thing, but this might be it. I'll provide feedback if the steps works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
I tried the steps advised, but the problem seems to still persist to some extent. The capacitive lights are lit and the screen is lit as well (as could be understood from the viewing angles - it's brighter and powered up). Nothing seems to appear on the screen though - no boot logo or anything - and trying to enter recovery fails as well (through power + vol up shortcut). I have tried it twice already, kept the phone switched on for five minutes or so, but no avail. I had to pull battery out every time to shut down the device. Anyone have any other advice?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
try this.....Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)

then see if device powers up...

once it does...go for the next steps........
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Thanks for the quick response, but I tried that too. Unfortunately, the problem still seems to persist.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
I wonder if its a hardware related issue...you said in your op that there is some problem with your screen and capacitive buttons...Got any friend with sk17i???? I had one before it was stolen...:P...Every other rom apart from CM11 is working right..Is there any other Kitkat based ROM for sk17i..if its there you may try that out and see if you have the same problem...otherwise..wait for a kitkat based rom to come up and try before flashing this...Try one more time from scratch...flash stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf..reboot....once its working...fastboot flash boot.img...then better to fastboot erase system and fastboot erase userdata and then before it boots enter recovery and wipe data cache everything...flash update.zip..wipe cache,data,dalvik cache again...and boot..if it doesnt boot up then there is no option but to wait..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Exactly. That's the whole reason why I posed this thread - to know if it was a hardware related problem right off the bat, or there was really something that I was doing wrong. I'll rather leave this one open to see if anyone have any other opinion about the matter. I really want to see what Kitkat looks like seeing how it's not available for my current device. (Micromax A210) :P

Also, about trying out other 4.4 roms... I guess I can try that route. But seeing how this problem is induced by the kernel itself and every other rom out there is mainly based off the LX 3.4 kernel, I doubt if that will work. I'll try the option anyway and see if it works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark Wraith:
Yeah.....waiting for other roms wont work.....cz they are all based on 3.4.x kernel.......Umm can you check your baseband after flashing full ftf...baseband should be : 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77..every other rom based on 3.4.x kernel works right???...btw if you want to see how it looks just download a kitkat launcher from playstore....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] psychoticdemon:
Yes, the baseband is .77 after flashing the ICS 4.1.0.B.587. I used 3.4.x kernel with CM10.1, but never really tried CM10.2 to that extent. Maybe I'll try downloading that and see if it works... or even the EOL CM10.1.

And sure, the launcher would give in the feel, but I want the full experience possible really.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ANTiGREMLiN:
XDA search is currently down, so finding it quite difficult to see if this issue has occurred before and has been resolved.

Anyways, I'm currently running v11 of Arrow Rom, and I have noticed that if i am using my phone, sound is working as expected. but when I have been charging the phone via USB through computer, the sound stops working (this includes calls, music, key touches, everything). Rebooting, turning off and taking out battery doesn't always seems to resolve the issue. It will just randomly decide to start working again after a random reboot or power up.

Is there possibly a setting that I have turned on (or off) or is an apk causing this issue?

Any suggestions or advice on steps to help diagnose the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Purchased a Google play edition s4 and just got the ota notification for kit Kat. However it goes through the motion of rebooting and installing but apparently something happens because when it review it's back into jelly bean. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
If you installed any custom tools or modified any files in /system, the update will fail. Mine did this initially because I modified the platform.xml file to fix external SD card write issues.. Once I restored to stock it was fine.
[Moto X Q&A] igdawgi:
I currently have the S4 and was fortunate to order a moto x today with their discount. It should come in a few weeks. In the meantime, I currently tether with my rooted S4. What options do you recommend to tether with kit Kat? Paid app recommendation? Root?

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X Q&A] superm1:
What carrier are you on? Which Moto X did you order?

If you have the particular combination of ordering the XT1053 (T-Mobile or unlocked model) and use AT&T for a carrier you don't need to root to tether. It works natively. The phone doesn't do the AT&T entitlement check.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48307338

If you are in a different combination of carrier or model you will probably need to root to be able to tether. Do this and you can use the native tethering solution:

[Android General] Copix:
I open this thread because quite a lot of hdc legend s4 users suffer from a very anoying noise when calling.

As far as I have red there is no fix. But I would like to share all the information anyway.

I have tried to unscrew the screws at the bottom back. I red it somewhere but it doesn't work. And I have also tried the boost signal widget but it doesn't fix it neither.

Any suggestion?
[Android General] cpaun:
I would also like to know a fix for this. I tried to change sound settings from Mobile Uncle Tools, but no success.
[Android General] nemero16:
the solution for this problem is to disable one of two antennas are not used inside the phone. Disassembling the body, the scheme should provide three pins, the first non-welded (the GND), the second corresponds to antenna in use, and the third not used corresponds to a second antenna for a secondary sim not used in this phone. To solve this problem it is necessary to isolate the last rightmost pin of the antenna to turn off the antenna that creates the noise. Tried and tried many of galaxy s4 legend and always works!

For isolate it just use a piece of isolant. :good::good:

Sorry for my bad english....
[Android General] Copix:
Thanks a million!!! I thought theren is no solution for this problem. Actually I thought this problem comes from pour gsm cover.

Before isolating I would like to ask you about the pin you talk about. Could you point it in this picture? I think this picture (from [GUIDE]HDC Galaxy S4 Legend Disassembly + Antenna Modifications! threat) could help us to learn where you mean we have to isolate.
[Android General] nemero16:
you need to isolate the pin indicated by orange arrow ;);)
[Android General] nemero16:
let me know if the problem is solved:laugh:
[Android General] Copix:
I have tried it. The noise disappeared but the anntena cover became very poor. Y removed the isolate and the bad cover still remains. Anyway I knew there is a risk. Any idea about how to fix it?
[Android General] nemero16:
you can try to isolate the other pin...maybe your phone uses the other antenna...maybe try also to bend and lift the pins to improve contact with the antenna...
[Android General] Copix:
Uf, I am afraid to bend the pins and break them. They look too rigid. But yes, the problem seems to be a bad contact. I'm thinking about two solutions. One could be to unpaste the antena and paste something above in order to elevate it and get full contact with the pins. The other option could be to paste a small piece of copper foil in the antena to ensure the contact with the pin.

Not sure wich one is better....
[Android General] Copix:
Stupid me!! The cable besides the anntena pins was not conected. It got out somehow... No problem now.

I've been experiencing some lockup issues with PAC-AIO v22.2.0 so I wanted to update to v23 but I didn't see a link posted for it even though the thread says the latest version is v23. Does anyone know where to find the link? I don't feel like updating to the nightly as I am unsure which one is stable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
Hi,

I have the latest stable CM installed on my XZ, but I miss the Sony ROM, so I thought I'd revert back, though I'm a little unsure about how to so it. Before unlocking the boot loader and installing CM, I rooted the phone and made a backup. My question is;

Can I revert back by doing this:

1. Booting into flashmode, wiping the cache

2. Choose to reinstall my back-up file

3. Relock boot loader in flashtool (if necessary, it was locked when I backed up)

4. "Repair phone" in Sony update service

And then be back to how it was before?

But that doesn't really answer my question(s), and as they were very specific in nature, a simple "yes" would be sufficient, or a "no"m, accompanied by the aforementioned links. ^^

I'm new at this, so that post has a lot of information... That's why I asked in a separate post. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreiundachzig:
You can just flash stock rom with flashtool. You don't need to relock unless u backed up your ta partition and you want to have bravia engine and updates.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
Thanks, but can I do it the way I wrote above? Because if so, I will. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parfa10:
I was wondering if it was possible somehow. I backed up the TA-Partition and I defenitly want Bravia Engine back. How should i do this?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
Since it's so hard to get a reply regarding my original post, I'll ask it like this;

Can I flash an official sony rom (.ftf) over my CM10.2? If so, can I just relock the bootloader through flashtool as well to get back BE2? :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
The key to get BE 2 working again and have fully restored DRM keys is to restore the backup of the TA partition that you should have taken before unlocking the bootloader. Flashing stock FTF and just relocking bootloader won't do the job:(

Neither will a CWM restore.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
I made the backup in cwm before I unlocked the bootloader, is that not usable to get it back? Is there any other way?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Unfortunately, CWM doesn't backup Trim Area (TA).In your case it seems Sony DRM keys are lost forever :thumbdown:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
I see. Oh well. BTW, I unlocked the boot loader once before, but then I relocked it without making any changes. Did I lose BE then, or not before I installed CM? And what other than BE will I have lost? :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Yes you loosed it. If you unlock you booloader you loose the keys. That is the reason why you have to make a TA backup before unlocking.

Your warranty you loose also but I think you should know that :)

Yes battery's dont have unlimited life.

But these stats are more from bad usage than normal.

I have a 3 year old phone so also a 3year old battery and it still lasts almost a day.

1 big tip that will save a lot of life from your battery is charge it when its before 50%.

Its not a nikkel battery that needs to be emptyed. It's a Lithium battery and the chemical reaction lessens very fast when below 10%charge.

Go look up info about lithium battery's and you'll see the same advice.

Goodluck.

Hi! I registered 2 MOTO X coupons this morning(AM 1:00, of course local time). One for mine and the other one I decide to give away for one who can help me to purchase via MOTO MAKER in the USA and send it to me by USPS international express mail. I will pay the guy through eBay.:p Please give me an opportunity to enjoy this device and share the MOTO X together!
[Moto X General] AdriVelazquez:
Probably won't get much luck with this. Ebay and Paypal take a huge cut of the profits.

The item plus tax would roughly equate to

$385 (NYC City Taxes)

Include international shipping, let's assume $30

Price = $415

Ebay takes a 10% cut

10% = $41.50

Paypal takes 3.4%

If it's from $385, it'll be $13.90; however, if it's from $415, it'll be $14.11

So the total cost would be

Final Price = $470.61

And then, let's assume we're not getting nickled and dimed. This amount of money would be frozen until paypal releases the funds, and verifies that you received the shipment. If you never get the phone, or say you didn't get it. I'm out nearly $500.

Only way someone would agree to this, is if you make the payment as a donation, which is even riskier for you.
[Moto X General] guestx00180:
Thx, dude! Could you figure out a method to reduce the cost with less risk at the same time? I really like this device!
[Moto X General] yghrv:
the new coupon should be binded with your name/phone number/mail address. I don't think it will work for others.
[Moto X General] Deleted member 2351944:
It is not bound to your email address or name.

To the OP: if you want security in the transaction, you have to pay those transaction fees. One of the main reasons that they charge transaction fees is to cover the risk.

You don't have to go through eBay and pay that extra 10%. You can pay directly through Paypal for only the 3.4% fee, just make sure you select that you're paying for goods and you're not doing a "gift" transaction. Put a clear description of what you're paying for in the description field. If you want, list it on a site like Androidforums.com or something so there's a genuine for-sale listing with pictures.

The "seller" (the person buying the phone for you) should ship delivery confirmation to your verified Paypal address.

This minimizes risk for both parties, but there's still SOME risk involved, and frankly if it were me, I wouldn't be doing this for a coupon code that people are giving away on here and elsewhere, and selling for $10 on eBay. I'd need to be making a profit off this in order for it to be worthwhile.
