Try flashing a generic LT28H (if thats the model you have) ftf firmware with flashtool in flashmode, leave all wipe options ticked and all exclude options unticked.

Flash Doomlords Kernel + TWRP (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2338693) and then factory wipe and then boot into TWRP and install the carbon rom.

It was working fine with stock based ROM.

I had this problem too

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

This is how I installed the ROM :

First I was on stock jb ftf . I extracted boot.IMG from the ROMs Zip file .

Then I flashed it using flashtool .

This gave me twrp .

Then from twrp I mounted all and then I wiped every thing except external SD cuz ROM andi gapps were in ext SD.

After that I flashed ROM then gapps...

Arie these steps true or not ? Thanks for your help...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grvhack:
Are you working on this rom, any progress??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Lol. Btw I even have a tab 2 ;)

I need one of you guys to try echoing different values on this file - /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

The command will be this -

echo x > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

Here x is any integer between 0 and 255. All that you have to tell me is if the brightness of the screen changes or not after echoing the value.

I'll start a fresh thread soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grvhack:
Yes the screen brightness changes, tried in terminal emulator with root permissions, used values 60,80 and 100
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grvhack:
Any work in progress?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Yeah I have everything ready. If you have been following nozomi's carbon thread, you'll know that there was some problem with the newer kernel sources (camera problem). Either way, I'll at least release a stable build with the older sources either today or tomorrow.

Xperia ion not turning on after installing this rom

Hi Dev,

I just installed this rom, i didn't know whether my phone has unlocked bootloader or not but i rooted it and installed custom recovery then installed this rom now my mobile is not powering on can you please help me to fix this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Dial the secret code *#*#7378423#*#* to check more about your Xperia phone.

If your boot loader is unlockable do that first and do this only if you dont care about warranty.

If your phone is NOT powering ON then its because you have bricked it. You can try two things. Drain the battery completely and put the mobile for wall charging. . . . for 12+ hours. then try flashing a stock FTF using flashtool.

if thats not working then dissemble your phone, Disconnect the battery cable and connect it , charge again over night ( until you get constant Bright RED LED) and try flashtool. it will work as it worked for me.

there are some tutorials. follow the steps suggested in that and you can bring back your phone to LIFE.

Hi friends, i have been owning htc one x since nearly 20 months now, and i feel the urge to upgrade due to the pathetic battery issues of the phone... I was eying the new htc one m8, however the ugly black bold bezels are a deal breaker for me... I am eager to switch to the G2 however should i wait for the sony z2 to be reviewed? So i'm confused between the G2 and Z2.. One thing that annoys me though is the non expandable memory on G2.. Also the G3 is around the corner, is it worth a wait?? Thanks :)

'Ugly black bold bezels' ...'sony z2'.....

See my dilemma?

[G2 General] Henkiestyle:
Honestly I think the G2 is worth every penny. So if you are looking to get a new device soon, I would highly recommend it.

Of course, if there is no hurry, there is no reason not to wait for future devices. If you absolutely must have the latest of the latest, then I suppose waiting is an option, but if you want a high quality device at this time, the G2 is an excellent option!
[G2 General] Azurael:
I had a One X, which I killed... Argh. In between, I had a Nexus 4. But from what I recall, you're in for a shock with regard to battery life if you decide on a G2. I just clocked 6:30 screen on time and I'm at 10% now, plus a day's standby and this is only my first charge cycle. I considered myself lucky to get 2:30 out of the One X!
[G2 General] shaungregg:
I had and loved my Note 3 on Sprint but we switched to ATT and the G2 on contract for free was a no brainer. Its easy to get excited for each new Flagship with all the hype out there but honestly this is a phone one can use for years and be totally content.
[G2 General] kartoonz:
thank you friends.. i will get the g2.. and you have rightly said that the new flagships can be very tempting with the hype around them...
[G2 General] player911:
I think the new gen smartphones are a let down. The HTC M8 only has a 4.7" screen and about the same size as the G2, also has a smaller battery. The Galaxy S5 also has a smaller screen and battery, but it noticeably bigger in size.

The M8 can't do 4k or 120fps camera either with its 4MP camera. The GS5 doesn't have OIS. G2 camera is better still.

Each has their own perks such as fingerprint scanner and dual flash dual camera, but I dunno. Seems gimmicky. G2 just seems to be better where it counts. Plus there is lots of development with the G2.

The newer phones are using a SnapDragon 801, which is the same chip, just slightly better optimized. Outside of benchmarks, it probably won't be noticeable. Not worth taking a hit on screen size or battery or camera for.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Why I do agree with you on certain things. I do believe some things are being worked on BETTER. Like "software" optimization for battery life. I understand that some phones are coming with smaller battery life's but perhaps its a better quality type of battery and plus better battery optimization software like HTC extreme battery save. I believe they should also work on software opt in every aspect.

As for screen size. I personally wouldn't want anything bigger than the lg g2. But that's me.

But hopefully for the next lg g3 I would Like to see the rumored specs: own Odin 8 core proccesor, 16mp better ios, 2k resolution t" display, maybe SD card slot, bettttttttterrrrrrrr software ui and optimization, finger and iris scanner. Etc. That phone I would get!!
[G2 General] Godra:
Can anyone tell me about that Optimus UI, because, from what I have seen it reminds me on Touchwizz which I personally dont like. So I'm thinking about taking Nexus 5 or G2 and I just can't decide. Currently, I have Galaxy Nexus and I like it because it's easy to root and bootloader is easily unlockable. But on the other side I really like g2's big battery and bigger screen. So, if anyone could comment me about Optimus UI and what's going on with G2's bootloader :beer: ( I've done a lot of googling but still haven't found anything useful) Tnx in advance :thumbup:
[G2 General] robin786:
Like others have said, G2 is a good phone to own, especially if you are content with having it stock. If you're into custom recoveries & roms then it's a bit of hassle in G2. A small mistake or even if there's no mistake in flashing, it can go into an eternal bootloop that's damn hard to recover from. If you are flashaholic,my advice: go for phone that has plenty of development going on.
[G2 General] Abe21599:

[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Get a phone that works instead.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2704381
[G2 General] Haesslich:
Yeah... I don't see many people with your issue up here.

But for the OP, the G2 isn't bad if you're happy with mostly stock KK and can deal with the button layout along with an okay camera with OIS.

Otherwise, evaluate your needs. If a great camera with high megapixel counts is needed, look Sony Xperia z2, or maybe the Galaxy S5. If different ROMs are what one craves, maybe a Nexus or GPE device. Removable battery? Samsung Galaxy phones. Stylus? Note 3. Metal body? HTC M8.

I jumped ship from a Nexus 4 due to crappy battery life. The screen and a decent camera were a bonus.
[G2 General] Akellade:
After playing with the new flagships, the HTC m8 is the only real option. And boringly the biggest reason is build quality
[G2 General] mackster248:
Exactly the same here. Could I have waited for a better phone like the Nexus 6 or HTC One? Probably, but my Nexus 4 battery was god awful. Charged it like 2-3 times a day and it took FOREVER to charge. G2's price was cheap at TMO and had to jump on it. Now battery lasts forever and charging is so damn fast.
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Well it took me 6 months to realise that it wasn't my provider that had very bad coverage. So do people even know that they could be getting 6 bars of 4G instead of the 6 bars of 3G that the phone will choose? You won't know unless you actually force the phone to use LTE in the hidden menu (*#*4636#*#*).

It also seems that I am not alone, because I am not the only one who made a thread about it in Q and A and you will find a lot on Google. But you won't find a solution.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Howdy.

While waiting to get all the bits for AKU 2.5, I made up a quick and dirty little multi-installer. It is a menu-driven installer that allows you to choose from multiple ROMs and various components like radio and extended ROM. The decompressed files are removed when it finishes up.

I currently have it set with the following options:

1) Full AKU 2.3 custom ROM with OS, extended ROM, radio, and bootloader

2) Full AKU 2.3 custom ROM with OS, extended ROM, radio, NO bootloader

3) Radio only - Version 2.25 (the good one)

4) Radio only - Version 2.17 (It's really 2.07, from the 2.17 ROM)

5) An empty extended ROM which will erase whatever is there

If you already have a 2.x bootloader, you can choose option 2 which will not touch your current IPL/SPL. I agree with the general sentiment that the less you touch the BL, the better.

The AKU 2.3 OS ROM is the same as test2, but with these changes:

-fixed softkey applet mappings to calendar, create sms, and create mms

-added .Net Compact Framework 2

-added several themes

-made lame attempt at fixing the "Tiki of Doom" theme, which I really like

-disable "receive all incoming beams" by default to conserve electrons (can be re-enabled in Settings->Connections->Beam)

- Set dot11SupportedRateMaskG to 8 (support all wifi speeds up to 54Mbps)

-enabled Cleartype on landscape

-combined Cingular customizations and registry tweaks into a single cab

-updated the graphics in the flash app, and added some additional warnings and whatnot and so forth

This one weighs in at a hefty 131MB, so if you're on dialup, go make some waffles, err, no, take that trip to Nepal you've always dreamed of while it downloads. If you have broadband, go make them waffles.

Here she be:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...Cingular_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1.exe

The multi-installer is a work in progess - I want to evolve it into something a little more flexible so items can be plugged in our ganked out more easily. As a side project, I'm also working on automating the extended ROM build process. The result of this little obsession will allow you to automagically create, configure, and build a flashable extended ROM using a single interface. It might make waffles too...but I'm growing quite fond of tatertots lately.

And yes, I see the error I made with the title placement in the script..but I already started the upload. =)

.NET CF version?

Summiter,

What is the .NET CF 2.0 version? Is it the recently released .NET CF2 SP1?

Also, can you leave out the ClearType Landscape fix? This is the one fix I can't stand. ClearType does not work well in landscape mode because of the orientation of RGB elements inside LCD.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] IgwanaRob:
Nice. Just updated to the Test2 ROM, and was kinda hoping there would be an option to install a plain Cingular ROM without all the extra stuff that I can't delete (like the 2.17 version that I was using before). Any chance of uploading a 'clean' Cingular version of the 2.3?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] alynch75:
Can I use this ROM

This is what I see when I turn the phone on:

IPL 2.25.0001

SPL 2.25.0001

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.25.11.1

Does this make a differnece. When I swapped out my old one in the store they gave me this one and the guy at Cinglar told me it was a brand new one. I saw him get it out the store and on the box the manufacture date was this month June 2006... I have anohter 8125 that I purchased in April and I notice that the flash chips are differnt. How can I load Summiter's new ROM onto this new 8125 has anyone had any luck. I used Lockwiz from this site and it did do the SIM unlock but I can't tell if it did the CID unlock. Can this unit be CID unlocked. I don't want to fry my phone.

thanks, keep up the good work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
Re: Followup

No. And you can't do CID unlock now since you upgraded to 2.xx ROM without unlock first. You have to downgrade to 1.xx ROM to do CID unlock (if that even possible with your stock ROM).

When you use lokiwiz to unlock your phone, CID unlock is a separate step. That is if you do SIM unlock as well as CID unlock, you have to run the tool twice.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Yom:

I did not upgrade the ROM it came from the store like that.

SPL 2.25.0001

GSM 02.25.11

As you can see the flash chip in this phone is not the same.

Have you ever seen any of the other phones start up with these IPL and SPL numbers...

Please advise
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Re: Please help

You have the mysterious G4 chipset in your device. Do some thread searches for 2.xx rom unlocking... or pay to get your CID unlocked through an IMEI check. I was looking at doing a swap with my device, just to get the "better" chipset but now with the apparent problems with upgrading the device to a custom ROM, heh, forget it.

You could always go for the long ball and ask Cingular for the CID unlock sequence if they'll be so gracious to give it to you... but good luck.

Good work summiter on cookin' up a new installer. If you let me know what language you're working with in the console, I could probably work with you on a VB GUI interface with what the users want, and a truly customizable EXTROM type of menu checkbox system. Been a while since I've dinked around in VB, but its easy as pie (prefer C++ personally).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] alynch75:

Okay so if I use summiters new rom the one that says i don't need to use the bootloader will this work on my phone. and will i be able to upgrade to the new officeal releases from cinglar when they come out.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: .NET CF version?

No SP1 - I'm waiting a bit to see how things flush out with it..it just came out of beta recently. And for all the CF2 apps I see commonly, SP1 doesn't provide any benefits. I will probably have SP1 in the next build, be it AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.5.

You're right about CT in landscape..looks fuggly. I'll back that one out for the next ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
CF2 is in the ROM. The registry entries for it however are added via cab file because I'm trying to keep CF2 a bit portable until I get it into AKU2.5. Setting up the registry in the ROM itself takes more time than I had to throw at this, and has to be done in each ROM build. The end result is the same though - the big bits are in ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:

Hi Folks,

first, thanks for that ROM i really loved it as long i was in th USA. Now i am in Germany and i had to remove my SIM (CING 64K Chip) and liked to use my O2 SIM in that Phone. But all of the sudden i can not use my O2 Sim after installing this ROM anymore. My Phone says "SIM is missing or invalid"

Now i have a real issue, because i cannot use my Cingular SIM all over the time i am in Germany. The Roaming feature would kill my bill.

Any ideas???
