[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanman01:
I tried to repair my phone via PC Companion but it failed.

My phone keeps showing the sony logo and a green light will be on when i plug it with the USB to my PC.

I want someone to help me solve this problem, i have read some threads but i dont want to damage my phone further so i wont do a thing.

So pls i want someone experienced to help me solve it.

1)I have never tried to flash a custom ROM

2)The only thing that i did is that i rooted my phone ( and it was a success ) as it is said here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440375

I want to believe that i will fix the Xperia SP with the help of some experienced members.

Thanks again

Hai thanman, good day.

1. You can revert back to the original state by flashing the ftf file again by using flashtool.

2. No. Bootloader unlocking and rooting are two different process.

Now, actually what error does it throws while flashing?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanman01:
Hi and thank you for you responding to my request.

1)I plug my phone via USB to my PC.

2)Then i press the "thunder icon" -> "flash mode" -> and i choose the generic UK that i downloaded from xda.

3)Normally after that it has to show me to unplug my device and then turn off my phone then replug it by pressing the down volume button ... but that doesnt happen in my case ... it automatically starts flashing like that and after that i got an error

4)lol i cant upload the image cause im newbie in the forum lmao ... give me 2 mins to write the error message
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YB-):
Now. Open flashtool remove your phone from pc if it is connected. Press falsh button. Now select the tft file and wait for it to chace. Then it will ask you to connect your mobile. Now press the hard reset button at the back of the phone. It will restart your phone. At that moment, connect it ti usb cable by press volume down button. It should have to happen fast. If the phone starts to boot, then you cant go into falshmode.

How much battery left in your phone? Did your phone shows charging symbol if it connected to charger?

My phone had 95% battery.

lol 5 mins ago that flashtool was running i had an error.I took picture of that error so that i can upload it to you but i have to make 10 post to upload more pictures.So after that i tried to run flashtool again so that i can Copy-Paste all that it was showing ... but instead of showing me an error i got it working fine and now the phone has opened .. lmao wtf happened? im totally confused.

But i want to know what the problem was so the error that was having was this "(A)"

(A) : ERROR- ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0009";ERR_DYNAMIC="Block verification failed 0x30000510";

ERROR- Error Flashing. Aborted

1)Now my phone isnt rooted right?

2)Now i got this in the status bar, it shows me a blue bar that says : All ckeckpoints reached

3)I want to upgrade to the 4.3 .201 version and have my phone rooted so that i can delete some bloatware apps and see if the 4.3 is still buggy or not.But i want your advice about that.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YB-):
First that error message is an random problem. According to what you said flashtool tried to flash without being connected in flashmode. That may be the reason for that error. Only connect the mobile to flashtool when it asks to do.

You can always upgrade using pc companion and update service.

Removing bloats will help with the lag.

Else you can run custom roms too.

About that error message in status bar. It was caused by the app com.sonyericsson.startupflagservice.

It will been gone in some moments. Else freeze or delete /system/app/

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintgein:
Hello!

I'm using romaur 8.0 atm and i noticed that it disabled mpdecision. I'm quite the noob on this stuff and i read that it's best to keep it turned on, unless there is a viable replacement. Meanwhile i notice that the performance of my z1 is really good under this circumstance. When i turn it on i experience more lag.

So, what's best? And what are the consequences of turning this off/keeping it on?

TThanks for answering.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
Ok really stupid question, i have my z2, i have the official sony case and also the official sony dk39 magnetic charger, the charger and case are both advertised as you can charge your tablet even with the case on.

i dont know if i am missing something, but i am finding it hard to work out how exactly i do this lol

i have tried with the removable part that comes with the charger both off and on, with it off the tablet and case just fall out, with the removable part attached the tablet and case are too thick to fit in?

I am having to practically make sure that the covers of the case are folded and hanging in a certain position so that i can just sit the tablet on the charger (as if the case wasn't on), so that only the tablet is sliding into the dock.

im not sure if this is how its supposed to be, but the way i read the advertisement for both, i got the impression that the tablet with the case closed would be able to slot into the charger and it would still charge through the case?

Or have i just been really stupid and i am trying to do something thats impossible, im just confused by all the reviews that say you can use this sony case with the charger?

Thanks

James
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
That's the way.

And the cover can be hung/dressed in different ways... the whole case is like a crazy origami.

I use the magnetic flap to hold it, so when it is in the dock, the case is in an upside down "Y" shape.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAL7:
Has anyone tried the common Chinese after-market versions of the DK39? I have one that really mitigates (meaning, bad) the power flow. Using Battery Monitor, the amperage is about half from the same transformer going through the pseudo-DK39 vs. directly to the USB port. Visually, this stand is identifiable by not having the little back support to keep the tablet upright.

I see another unit I'm tempted to buy that does have that small backplate. That's the one I'm curious about. 1) does it allow positioning of the Z2T in the cradle with a thin TPC case? 2) does it rival the USB port in power delivery?

I can only suggest to stay away from cheap chinese replica products
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
That removable part needs to be attached.

Tablet cover needs to be opened for charging the tablet. So you do not need to remove the cover - but you need to open it.

Just look at the case, look at the contacts. Contacts need to make contact with the charging pins of the DK39; that's why they're called that way.

This is no inductive charger (as seen with electric toothbrushes), the charger needs to be in direct touch with the charging contacts at the Z2's bottom. If you punch two additional holes in the case, it might work. If you are not willing to do this: Open the case, charge. :)

And enjoy far shorter charging times if using a better power adapter than Sony's - e. g. Samsungs 2 A chargers (the ones provided with S4, S5, etc.).

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Any reason ?

Just because it's from China ? - There are SO many real great products from China - I don't see any sense in comdemning a product just because of it's origin.

So please provide a REASON - or remove your post. :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
I am not talking about original Chinese products, but replicas, copies of products from big brands; these are usually terribly inferior quality wise. If this charging dock is called dk39 but it's not made by Sony, then it's a fake. It may somewhat function, but it's still a fake.

Case and charger

Hi,

I have both the Sony case the the magnetic charger.

On the charger, insert the "loose" part into the base of the charger and simply fold the cover back. They work seamlessly and allow you to charge without removing the case.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthsentinel:
I was on Android 4.4.2, and was going to sideload the 4.4.3 update. I went into recovery, moved one step below the sideload update option, and landed on clear cache. My volume up button wouldn't take me back up to the ADB Sideload option, so I figured clearing the cache would bring me back up to the top. The phone was stuck on the "Wiping cache..." loading bar for 20 minutes until I finally force rebooted it. On completing the reboot, my phone wouldn't connect to the cell network, and all of my gapps crashed. I tried going back into recovery, and got errors saying;

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimmortalbg:
Hi

I bought galaxy s4 last month but I am not happy with functionality of the home and sensor buttons. In my opinion switch application (the list of all previously opened apps) is very important button and I am not happy to wait whole second holding down home button to get simple alt+tab feature. At all this big hardware button does not fit in the whole picture and its the biggest mistake of this phone. Now I cannot remove it but at least I want to use it as much as little I can. So I want to switch menu button and "hold home" buttons. Its far more sensible to make separate sensor button for switching app than use it for menu functionality. I didn't root my phone and I don't want to root it but if its needed to get rid of this stupidness I will make it. So is there any way to switch menu button and "hold home" button?

So here are my concerns:

I just purchased a Moto X and if I get stuck in a bootloop I need to know how to fix it. With previous phones its as simple as a battery pull and reboot into recovery. Well since the MotoX does not have a removable battery I need to find out the steps without a PC.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
depends on what is causing the bootloop.

You could try holding the power button down for a few seconds.. then once it appears to be off, press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously to boot into the Fastboot/Booloader mode/menu. You can select recovery, and erase the cache.

that is about it.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleedin_Sarge:
Okay, I've had my Nook HD+ for a while running on CM (do not remember the last update version...). Anyway, over the last three months the battery life has been getting worse, and the battery meter has been getting random readings. It was doing this off and on from when I got the device, but I really did not think much of it because the device was still alive and kicking. As of this last weekend, the Nook randomly died and refuses to boot. When I hook it up to my computer, the green charging light comes on and I am presented with an "OMAP4470" device in the device manager. However, after about five minutes of being plugged in, the green light changes to orange, and the nook logo comes up on the screen; but that is all it does, at this time, it no longer presents the "OMAP4470" devices, but shows up as "Blaze_Tablet" instead. I am trying to bring this thing back to life, but feel like its a lost cause. "OMAP4470" is prolly the serial flashing interface of the CPU from my guess, which means the eMMC prolly got messed up pretty badly during the random power off that happened.

I am looking for any and all input that may help get this little machine alive and kicking again.
