[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
So it seems there no problem with flash mode drivers.

Now open PCC, click start under support zone. click start under update phone/tablet software, click repair, continue untill if finish downloading files, exit, build FTF as described in one of the links, your files are ready, start from there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
I can't update/restore with PCC. It gives me an error that there is no software available, so it won't even bother to download files to create an FTF from. In order to use PCC, I need to have stock or stock based firmware on the phone. As soon as I attempt to flash a stock kernel + stock ROM using fastboot.exe on my pc, and CWM on the phone itself, I end up with a bricked device.

I'll try this once more once I get the chance, later today, to see if I can dig up some other results.

I suppose this is a tough one you don't see very often, here on XDA ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Did you follow the steps I posted exactly? The phone don't even need to be connected.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
Yes I did. If I check the blob_fs folder, I only get icon files, with a maximum file size of 10KB. It doesn't download anything when I follow your guide. When I remove the folder, it simply redownloads the images, but not the files required for the FTF.

As a reminder concerning the SEUS: No Sola support, at all, so no firmwares from there either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
After you click repair, what happens?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
Once I click repair, I get a ****load (pardon my French) of dialog boxes with check boxes to make sure I agree to continue with the repair.When that is done, it starts preparing the phone (not even selected which one) firmware, after I select the Xperia Sola, nothing happens. It just asks me to connect the phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Well you have said you have used it before with this phone, case which it su\ould ask you if to repair the phone you have used with it before or choose another. and if you choose phone you have used before it would download the files without asking to connect it.

I am guessing it would refuse to repair phone with unlocked bootloader, but have you connected the phone in flash mode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
Why would I connect it in flash mode? (And yes, it did show up, and I did select it, but that didn't change anything) Still, I have connected it in flash mode before, and all it says is: Nope, unsupported phone and such. I'll have to reboot to Winblows again and see what I can dig up...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
Such an annoyance that I can't post external links, and the fact that all my software is Dutch, so I can only provide crappy translations of the errors I receive :rolleyes:

I connected the phone is flash mode, I received an error that boils down to the following:

"The phone contains modified software which cannot be updated" and that's where the adventure with PCC ends.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Yes, that because the unlocked bootloader, you can try and see if there is a way to relock it, make sure it's a proven one.

Did you back up your ta before unlocking bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NelizMastr:
Boy do I feel like a moron. I tried the 32-bit version of Flashtool, just for the heck of it, and I successfully flashed the stock .54 ROM. It is booting as we speak. I have no clue why Flashtool64 would behave differently to regular 32-bit Flashtool, but well, my phone is back on stock, with unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your help to this point. I will definitely give you a big thumbs up for your suggestions :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Interesting, might be drivers issue.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
Good evening everyone,

I'm having an issue with my C6602 lately, I updated it to latest firmware through OTA, a day later, it just wouldn't boot up and got really hot.

I tried flashing another firmware with flashtools, succeded, but then, whenever I turn it on, I have 5 seconds max, and it reboots (unless I turn the screen off, this way it'll work, but will eventually reboot if I turn on the screen.)

I looked in the forums, and tried most of the solutions, I even reset it using sony companion.

Now I'm stuck with kind of a brick, the phone doesn't turn on, but if I plug it to a wall, it boots up, but gets stuck on lock screen (irresponsive), reboots after a while, gets stuck, reboots, then gets stuck for as long as I keep it plugged in, then turns off as soon as I unplug it and starts bootlooping until battery dies.

Anybody got any idea ? Please do ask if you need any more details.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Before you updated you was also on stock ROM?

So flashtool recognize your phone without problems?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
Yes, phone is recognized by flashtool, now the issue is as follow (edited the first post too).

Phone doesn't turn on, but if I plug it to a wall, it boots up, but gets stuck on lock screen (irresponsive), reboots after a while, gets stuck, reboots, then gets stuck for as long as I keep it plugged in, then turns off as soon as I unplug it and starts bootlooping until battery dies.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Try to repair with Sony Update Service(SUS).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
If I remember well, the phone must reach 50% battery to be repaired with SUS, but this just wouldn't happen, when the phone gets stuck on lock screen, it gets really hot, and even if I let it sit there for an hour, the battery percentage won't change much. I'll try it again anyway, there is no other method than SUS ?

Edit: It says I have the latest version installed
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akisg:
Since you get your phone recognized by SUS make sure battery is more than 50% charged and try the repair option.

SUS and flashtool is your friend i guess..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
Repair option, hum, I just tried the update thing.

I'll try to leave it plugged for night (and hope it won't blow up), and then try to repair tomorrow.

I'll let you know either way.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
And if it stucks on lock screen, does it turn off if you hold power and volume up(12 seconds i thought you have to hold the combination, it have to vibrate 3 times)?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
Yes it does, then it reboots, then gets stuck again (Sometimes it even gets stuck while there's the wave animation after the xperia logo).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rzr92:
just download an ftf and flash it via flashtool

open flashtool and connect your phone via usb cable while pressing the volume down button to enter flashmode
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
As I mentioned before, flashing an ftf didn't fix the bootloops, nor the freezing
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
If you flashed correctly with flashtool and SUS doesn't help also, I would say there is a hardware problem. Because more or less you can solve every software problem with your phone with a clear flash.

You don't have a recovery, right?

Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntex:
No recovery, no.

Im unrooted, and bootloader is locked, guess I'll have to take it back from where I bought it for a fix, it looks like a hardware problem (leaving the phone plugged for the night didn't change a thing)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzyil:
Your battery has a problem, anyone would say. Try a fresh FTF install with wiping data. Also try repair. For that you need to charge your phone when it is turned off. And make sure FTF version is newer or at least same with your latest firmware worked fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banalityofevil:
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 mini today using the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980

It rooted fine, but afterwards I kept getting the message "SD card safe to remove" and everytime I try to mount it I just get that pop up again.

I thought maybe I fried the card, but after testing it out on a separate phone it was fine and was easily read.

The only option I have in the storage settings is to mount the card and it doesn't get recognized when plugged into the pc either (when inside the rooted mini, worked fine on galaxy s3 my friend has).

In order to try and fix it myself. I've tried;

1. Formating the sd card (in the other phone and via windows)

2. Resetting my Mini to factory settings (ended up just losing all my data and still stuck)

3. Unrooting

4. Rerooting

I've googled my problem but the results we're sort of useless. I know my card has worked in this phone for months without issue and it only popped up immediately after the initial root.

As for the SD card it's a samsung micro 64gb hd.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, seems my phone has bested me and I don't know what else to try...

Some screens please ?? i really want to test this out :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nhojeric214:
hmmm why not base it on .100 FW?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deichz:
was going to ask the same question

why not .100
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
Tell me your experience with this.

I'll update to that firmware if we have any performance benefits

Thank you Ayush :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MT27i:
I think JB .100 give a better performance.

Feel free to hit thanks button :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nhojeric214:
yes i think he's right. also, try comparing FWs .400 and .100 on antutu and see who gives a better score :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
I havent tried. 100 yet.

Technically it has an updated walkman and super stamina.

Dunno if it affects peformance.

Anyone here who has tried tell me so that i can push an update :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] loubar22:
Okay so i flashed the rom, it's smooth for now, i like the honami UI, for now i got no launcher redraws, no walkman Fc, and i use the default kernel, i haven't flashed any other kernel, but I think it's better to move to .100 because it's more stable than 0.400. and one more thing, Antutu benchmark Fc's at 3D graphics, and also i cannot synccronize my contats from my google account
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] loubar22:
Update : now i have changed to another kernel i got a score of 9440 at antutu, but it became laggy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
Antutu Scores can be faked easily. Real performance is what matters.

Stock kernel gave best compatibility with tweaks so thats included.Please use that.

As requested i'll update to .100 firmware soon.:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] loubar22:
okay i'll do that, but i'll wait for your update ! :) nice rom thou, but if you can please, can you replace sony media apps, by honami or ZU ones ? it would be great :D

Nice rom! But when i uninstall app in Apps--> setting fc. And app cant' uninstall.

its perfect with expermintal 12

tnx dev:good:

but i can`t install elixir!!!!i think based on 100 better idea
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saqib Nazm:
Great Work

Congratulation for making this :) the way people are asking & requesting you to base it on .100 makes me think they liked your Rom pretty much, probably more than you expected hehe. Plus, I think colorizing support makes it a unique Rom :good: Keep it up
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
Does it happen every time?

I look into that ;)

What issue? connectivity?

I needed that input.Thanks ;)

i tested only on Stock kernel

Thank you sir ;)

And yes,i have already started working on .100 based Rom :highfive:

I did feel .100 was bit snappier!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jggkin:
i can not connect in MTP. The device is not recognized by PC.

What kernel to use? I have included kernel.

At this time, i'm impressed with this ROM. Best than i try to today. Awesome!!!

anyone solved this sync problem?

thx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] loubar22:
I solved it, you have to reflash the rom and then when you get to select all the features, there's down that page two google services you add them and you'll get it back

thank you for advice, sync now works great
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cluttered_butter:
i don't think we should care about .100 if the performance is really that good. Can someone comment on KB crashes or other bugs?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nhojeric214:
[MENTION=4768354]Madaditya[/MENTION] i suggest that you compress the rom thoroughly to achieve 200mb+ zip size coz 400mb+ takes almost forever to download on a 50kbps internet speed :)

Also, please include MSC option in usb computer connection thanks

EDIT:

Calculator app looks good but doesnt have back button :/

Notification light doesnt work and so is illumination bar
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hlodys:
first things first so thx for your work and this ROM, it seems it is going to replace WolfsROM after hmm few months of usage

anyway I'm on your ROM for first 24 hours and didn't find any huge problem so far, BT, WIFI all works

minuses:

- maybe I would change background or color of numbers in in-built alarm cos once you set alarm, time is almost unreadable

- maybe there is already some fix for 2seconds delay (before you can hear or you are heard) after picking up incoming call

- sometimes i face an error saying smt like: experia smt stoped, once i confirm OK button UI is restarted

- real racing 3 is being terminated just before I start race (seems not enough memory) , lots of folks report that it runs smooth but it never worked on my sola on any ROM

pluses:

- no lags in UI so far

- smooth on unlocking

- battery consumption seems to be good ( will see in few days )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Geek1995:
I found bug, mobile data doesn't works for me, i also try plane mode but still nothing... :( Sorry my fault, I don't install APN configurations, sorry
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
200MB is too much to ask on a Aroma Rom. So you want me to remove all available features in the rom? :p

I need to zip the rom only using NORMAL Compression,something thats compatible with CWM.Else you'll have bootloops.

Illumination and calculator bug will be fixed.

Notification light works for me.

Msc Works good,wait for the first time you conect your phone to the PC.

Alarm can be fixed.

Can you tell me the process name or the App name that Force closes?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ryukaiser:
currently wait for update based .100 firmware replace my Ultimate v11 :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] None52:
Does not that change color in the notification bar?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AslanFatih:
Performance is good. The white UI looks very good. Great job!

Found a small graphical glitch in the Walkman Equalizer. The bars/sliders are not shown correctly. Also the alarm is unreadable because of white background and grey letter colour.

could you also make an alternative ''black'' version instead of ''white''? its a bit tiring at night.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] titochuz:
First of all thanks to the developer for all the hard work you have put into this rom is very appreciated.

Second if you are on the v1 you have to download another gapps and no brightness control doesn't work, but I haven't tried v2 to check if this problems were fixed, on my personal experience v1 became laggy just after 3 days of use i couldn't even write a message because the keyboard disappeared but now I'm going to try v2 to see if its a improvement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cluttered_butter:
I tried this rom but I experienced extreme lag in most apps. The call reviving was a close 15 seconds lag. Went back to Wolf rom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Madaditya:
Whats the error?

For me it works good! I dont use auto brightness though.

I'll give a thought.

Thanks you for the appreciation ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hlodys:
first thx for this V2

here is my early review after 24 hours of usage:

- brightens not working - flashing illumination bar from CWM fixed the problem

- i woke up in the morning and battery was at 1% did anyone experienced fast battery draining?

- sometimes xperia launcher unexpectly stops, after confirming OK it restarts itself and works fine

everything else works fine so far
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MT27i:
Do you mean "launcher redrawing"? (point no 3).

If you facing this problem,

Download this http://upfile.mobi/381059

Then copy ram_manager from the zip to system /etc/init.d and services.jar from the zip to system/framework. Don't forget to set permission to r-w-r-r

usually this happens after the reboot once i unlock screen for the first time.

Pop up window appears with text xperia Launcher un-expectantly stopped

but as I wrote this is not happening very often so I can live with that :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hlodys:
battery dropped 30% down in 6 hours over the night - mobile data, wifi, BT, location services all turned off, greenify and task manager installed and correctly set, Stamina mode ON

battery status 20%, running on battery 15 hours (10-15min calling, 10-15 texts, 30-60mins wifi, 3 hours BT car set)

this and "launcher unfortunately stop" after reboot and first unlock are only problems found in 24 hours

this ROM is great, smooth and stable so any idea how to get rid of that battery problem
