[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] emperatour:
hi. my xperia u was unlock bootloader and root. when i entered a command in adb and want to flash a keiran-recovery-st25.elf the phone gone to off. and now it doesnt any pixel that shows to be alive !!!!! how i must to do? :((( how to test is dead or not? sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
Try removing the battery -- then reinsert it and connect USB while holding down the volume button for fastboot or download

If you used fastboot correctly (fastboot flash boot whatever.elf) it can't have been the reason for causing a hard brick.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
How exactly have you tried to flash the kernel with adb?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] emperatour:
i tried this command i think : " fastboot flash boot whatever.elf "
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
This should have worked, have you tried removing the battery as [MENTION=5543274]Ryccardo[/MENTION] said?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] emperatour:
flash tools doesnt detect anything in this state. no led ilumination or anything happens :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tonystark9396:
Go into boot loader mode and flash any Woking kernel example phantomkernel.!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
I'm experiencing the same problem with that kernel. I flashed it because I wanted to get CWM recovery on top of my stock rom. Now my phone seems to be an expensive coaster with the exception of one red led when connected with USB.

Any solutions are very welcome...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryu--X:
Does the red light become green after an hour charging ? ... if not , it looks like Sony service center is the only way :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
No green light at all. With some help in another topic I found out I flashed a recovery image in boot...

Would it be worth sending the phone to a service centre? I got it for 40 pound from eBay....:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryu--X:
Then it's working now ?! if not , you could maybe sell it on Ebay for people who search for parts of the Xu
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
1- charging in emergency mode (without kernel and/or chargemon running) is extremely slow, assuming it can even turn green it will probably take a day to get to 90%

2- no. installing a kernel can't have caused this problem by itself (of course, something -potentially including the kernel- might have screwed up parts of NAND important to the bootloader)... if it's the TA or other individual data good luck without a full backup, generic parts can be pulled from another phone but you need either a JTAG card specific to the model or to solder ~6 wires under the sticker to even try, good luck finding someone willing to do that for less than what you paid for the phone...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
Nope, it's still dead. Can't get into flash or fastboot mode so flashing a proper boot.img or kernel is just not working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neptvne:
Hi can you try:

1. Disconnect the phone from PC.

2. Tale out battery and put it back.

3. Fire up flashtool on PC.

4.now hold vol - while connecting the phone to PC look what the flashtool log reads.

If its OK you can retry reflash the kernel and all.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] evildev:
Your battery is most probably completely depleted. Try rubber band trick:

1) prepare stock ftf to be flashed in flashtool: that means that you go through all steps when you flash stock ftf until it says that you plug your phone in flash mode;

2) Now, take a rubber band and wrap it around the phone over vol down button and be sure that rubber band is pressing that button. Improvise if you have to.

3) Now that you have prepared both pc and phone, connect it to the PC via usb cable and just wait.

I suggest you do this overnight. Just do as I told and go to sleep. Hopefully, in the morning you will have a working device.

Idea behind this trick is to flash stock rom the moment the phone has enough juice for that action. By connecting, your phone will recharge at a very slow rate, but when it has enough charge it will light up, and there's your chance. By applying rubber band, phone will boot into flashmode the instant the device wakes up :) Very rarely, it may not have enough juice to finish the flashing process, but at least you will have kernel level chargning, which is way faster than the state in which your device is currently in.

Report if you manage to recover your device :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jvoelcker:
I have just been playing with the Tweak2k2 app and to be honest haven't found anything revolutionary in it to make it worth purchasing - these great forums (grovel, grovel) provide far more useful info.

One of the tweaks is to put the date and time on the title bar, which I tried and it seemed to place it over the battery icon so it is illegible.

I then reloaded Tweak2k2 and disabled the option and it seems to have left a block sitting over the battery and speaker icons - they are still there because when I click on where they are supposed to be they do what they are supposed to do (display battery/volume settings), but they just aren't being displayed.

Any thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jvoelcker:
Solved this - the tweak software left a blank (0) entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt" which caused the icons to be obscured - deleting the key resolved the problem. :D

[Android General] ~MaX~:
First off, this is by no means "a thing" as im looking for people who understand, support and might help me with this idea

"The Struggle is real"

for me choosing my next android device is a pretty hard effort as im getting disappointed by various points:

-illogical choices of design: even if i find a decent device to consider as my next one, there is always something that will make no sense to me and bug me, but only after i have purchased that device

-poor development due to unavailable sources: a major requirement when i choose an android device is that it has good dev support and my previous devices have proven this point to an extend, where a nice new android version comes out and the oem no longer supports it: the new version can be ported,but some things that were closed source only work properly in stock roms (which mostly suck)

-ridiculous oem pricing and their visionary software addons:

every device by big oems is overpriced and is bloated and promoted with things that often are not unique at all and can easily be used on every phone

of course the price depends on a lot of factors but in my opinion every oem device can easily be a 100 euros cheaper while still being profitable, as small

oems easily show

"The perfect android smartphone?"

-"supersize my phone, please":

of course also size is a debatable aspect of a phone as some prefer size while others prefer compactness

i prefer efficiency and for me that means a device that can easily be used with one hand, fit in my pocket and

does not waste a lot of surface not covered by screen

-"whith a small phone comes small hardware"

every oem releases a mini version of their newest flagship, but that mini version has exactly nothing to do with its big brother

there are examples where this might not be the case(xperia z1 compact), but then, there are other aspects that make that phone inconsiderable

There cannot be a device that is perfect for every user, but i think that most users can agree on a large amount of aspects that fit their needs, especially if they are powerusers

Conclusion: i would like to collaborate with people that have the knowledge of building distributing and supporting a project based on my idea: the devPhone:

I hope at least a small group of users can relate and i would like to see what you guys think ;)

Here 's a nice app that I found pretty useful on my Gear: openspritz (Original Thread)

It's inspired by spritz, check it out here: http://www.spritzinc.com/

Of course, you'll need some good epubs to start with. Unfortunately, CSS format is not filtered out by the app, so my advise is to use this converter to get a plain, (quick) readable EPUB: http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub

We should keep an eye on Github for future updates.

Have fun!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
So it's time to retire the G2. I left the S4 for the G2. My first impression of the S4 was lagfest. Drove me insane. Does anyone think the S5 will be the same way?

Without being biased to Samsung, which device do you think will be a better phone? I am not brand loyal. When the announcement of the S5 was over I was highly disappointed and expected much more from them. I haven't had a HTC device since the EVO4g.

Thoughts with the M8 releasing tomorrow?
