Don't understand Japanese, but it seems that...

all this guy did was to remove the gasketing foam in the offending part of the bezel, suggesting that the aligment problem was being caused by the foam gasket applying uneven pressure to the LCD, thus causing erratic beahvior.

I doubt that though as the pressure, assuming this touch screen is of the resistive kind, should simply mimic a stylus push, not render portions of the screen unresponsive...but then, observations are mostly true, conclusions rarely.

Maybe somebody w/ Japanese skills can clarify this contribution...

the device.. (without breaking any seals in case of needing to

send it in of course). The pictures are nice, at least you see where

the screws are placed.

To this non-techie, you tinkerers are geniuses. I just started having alignment problems after switching ROMs and doing a bunch of button mapping (specifically stylus taps seemed to be a few mm off kilter) and the problem was solved after changing to the reg values posted by ktka. Thanks a bunch!

**** fix for screen alignment ****

What I found from reading several threads from this forum in regards to Screen Alignment issue is due to poor choice in the "GASKET MATERIAL" that goes around the inner lip of the top and both sides of the screen. That is why some people have success with sticking a business card along the cracks of the screen. It worked for me, too, but not to my satisfaction as there was a small portion in the middle lower right of the screen that would go haywire when I put the pen there. So I used a piece of plastic cutout of packageing that was hard, but flexible, and thin. I made it in a shape of a triangle and used the sharp point to get in there and run it up and down the cracks and managed to pull out some of that "GASKET MATERIAL" and new I had to take it apart.

So I searched around and found a picture of the "GASKET MATERIAL" around the screen, in the following link. It is the 10th picture down of a series that show the breakdown of an 8525:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152710

Then I used the following video tuturial to disassemble the 8525:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsljpn74SW0

There is a missing scene from the video right before the motherboard is removed. It should show a black screw just like the 1st 4 you removed with your number T6 torque screw driver. It is at the top of the phone and is shown in the pictures of the first link from howardforums.com.

My "Gasket" was in rough shape. Seemed to be made out of some type of foam that disinegrates easily. I used small strips of the furry side of some velcro, cut to about the width of the preivous "Gasket". Had some very fine scissors to do it with. I also cut as much of the furry hairs as I could, off each strip. I took my time and it took me about 2 hours, as I was winging it.

I NO LONGER HAVE THE SCREEN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. Good luck in your endevours!!!

[Sony Xperia L] samersh72:
:cowboy:

Here i will show you how to backup & restore EFS and NV_data manually for your Xperia L without a third party app or tool.

Sure a third party app or tool will do the job, but it is good to learn something.....:p

Backuping efs (in this device it is "modemst") partition is an essential step to keep it safe after rooting since a bad flashing/modding of your Xperia L may result in a corruption of that partition. so it is better to be safe than sorry, so any disturbance in the EFS data might result in null IMEI and baseband version.

This will backup data like device specific essential information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity), wireless device MAC address, baseband version, product code, system ID and NV data.

You must have

a proper root access

in addition to busybox installed (preferred)

Do this step after rooting.

You can dump these partitions also using adb shell command. but here i will show you how to backup using a terminal emulator.

How to do it

​

Backup:

Download "terminal emulator" app from play store and install it.

Open the app and type (DONT MAKE MISTAKES!):

su

Grant permission

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/efs1.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/efs2.img

copy images from internal sdcard to a safe place such as pc.

Note that the size of .img must be as follow: modemst1/2 (8MB each)

Restore:

Make sure Backuped images are in your internal sdcard (not in any folder).

open terminal emulator and type (DONT MAKE MISTAKES!):

su
dd if=/sdcard/efs1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/sdcard/efs2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2

​
[Sony Xperia L] umeshxda:
We have TA backup[emoji6]
[Sony Xperia L] samersh72:
TA partition (block 1) is totally different than modemst1 (block 21) and modemst2 (block 22)

dont mix between them...
[Sony Xperia L] umeshxda:
Oh..

So sorry,

Btw I flashed cm11,resurrection remix roms..

But currently now I am on stock.

Can I backup now??
[Sony Xperia L] samersh72:
yes, those partitions are untouched when flashing rom
[Sony Xperia L] JaleXNet:
this backup files, work with another xperia l or only work with the same device ?? thank you.
[Sony Xperia L] samersh72:
Same procedure but you must know the partition table of your device before
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
Old thread, I know.

But maybe what he meant was: which one of these blocks are device specific? we already know that TA partition is device specific and flashing it from a different phone will brick the phone in hand. I need to know if is there any other partition that can't be used on other XLs. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
TA

[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
Then I'm truly doomed(!) :( Thank you so much.

Help me in the other thread if you can. (i.e. Repartitioning the XL)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
1.tell me exactly what you have done

2.pm me
[Sony Xperia L] piowie:
Hello, It's my first post on XDA, unfortunately, asking for help with my phone... It's Sony Xperia L, C2105

Short story is that my phone is not bootable, because partition table is corrupt and the bootsector on my EMMC is also corrupt. I assume that besides first sectors of my emmc, only the /data and internal sdcard partitions are broken (these I can recover easily).

Long story follows:

Recently I've (by my stOOpidity) broken partition table of my Xperia L. First I've resized internal sd/data, to extend data. It was working fine since I've recovered using recovery some old image. Then I was using Cyanogenmod for a year or so.

Trouble started when I tried to recover stock ROM using FlashTool. The phone went 'dead' (although bootable). I assume it's because it was repartitioned.

The most stupid thing I did however, was later:

When I used adb to attach console, I've found out that fdisk and parted show no partition table at all in internal eMMC. It was strange, because phone was booting its kernel. The flashmode was not working OK (I couldn't flash anything) nor I could not recover anything - because the /system, /data, etc partitions were unavailable.

So I did the most stupid thing. Instead of recovering partition table from other image (dd if=copy of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 count=200) I used parted with some magic 'fixme' option to recover partition table and created new partition table with fdisk (msdos, not gpt...).

These options (i'm not sure which one) probably overwritten bootloader areas and bricked my phone.

Options for today:

JTAG? Flash some downloaded emmc image onto my phone (I've found out someone's copy of emmc on internet). Or is it possible to boot in some additional mode using the 'testpoint' option? (i've found somewhere Testpoint? Someone had incidated that s1boot is available when booted with testpin low? Is it possible to flash anything in this session? To startup console, and possibly apply the 'dd' fix command?

However. Another problem is that I have only TA backup of my phone. I don't have any other other partitions backed up. Rest sits in the unpartitioned area of my emmc. I ssume that it should be still recoverable, when extracted using dd...?

Does anyone know where the testpoint resides in the Xperia L?

Thanks for any answers / links...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinuxJon:
So I've been wondering this for a long time, and can't really seem to find an answer.

Does enabling a lock screen password do ANYTHING to help protect the device from threats? Other than someone with physical access, obviously. Would it make installing malware or exploiting a security flaw any more difficult? Assume the device in question is not rooted, if that makes any difference.

Thanks guys.
