Xperia P won't Boot into recovery

Hello there, I'm a complete noob here, so please help me. thanks in advance.

I managed to unlock the bootloader, and did these :

but when I try to boot into recovery (pressing power key first, then pressing volme up key repeatedly), it shows the sony logo with "powered by aosx" logo in the end... after one second, it goes away and nothing happens..

I don't know what i did wrong and how can I make it right.

thanks.

Edit: I should have pressed power several times... figured it out... thanks.

First, thanks so much for the the ROM, glad I can update the sony 4.1 to some little more modern 4.4. Now, I have two newbie questions.

Can the ROM influence the GPS? In OSMAnd, I am now off by 50 metres from my actual location but it was working quite reliable on the old sony version. I'm a bit too lazy to install hundreds of different ROMs or to go back etc, so just checking if maybe someone has a thought?

Also I have a weird glitch with th gesture trail in the Google Keyboard, basically it doesn't forget the lines I have already drawn in the past on new words. I've attached a screenshot. The blue stuff there is *not* what I drew for this word, which was just a swipe left. Quite unusable :(

Thanks!

Amendment, apk from http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/lollipop-keyboard-phones-root-t2910268 also has the same issue for me

Can't boot, can't get into recovery with AOSX v4.1

Hey, your boot.img is probably corrupted. I flashed it after unlocking bootloader, but the device will never start. It freezes either at the screen with SONY logo and green robot, or afterwards it goes black (with backlight on) and hangs there. And no way to get into recovery - it won't react to volume keys

EDIT: Woops, it should've been the POWER BUTTON. mention this somewhere, please.

HTML5 video does not work; screen rotation faulty

I have noticed that HTML5 video does not work in any browser (tried stock, Opera and Firefox). Just video encoded with H264 for sure works with HW decoder in MX Player, but neither codec is supported in browsers for some reason. WebGL works in Firefox, but not in Opera or stock.

Another thing: screen auto-rotation mostly does not work. It works only in SatStat app from F-Droid repo for some reason. If an app for manual rotation is installed, you can switch it manually.

aosp is more smooth than cm11 and doesn't have any extra features so its basically pure android, on the other hand cm11 is a tad bit slower but has alot of useful features

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Auto rotation will only work if auto brightness is turned on, this is for all kitkat and up versions of android for xperia p, I'm not sure as to why but thats how its always been.

Number16, welcome to the board.

I'm afraid I don't have time for a thorough response right now, but some thoughts:

- please read the board rules. Posting a thread with a useful topic title will get you more help, faster. It's in your interest.

- read the wiki and do search the board. The Magician is still my favourite phone, and we've all spent years posting about issues for it. It's likely most of your concerns have already been discussed.

- specifically read the wiki on favourite software. It's far from complete, but it'll point you in the right direction. Someone asks the question every 4.7 minutes, precisely, day and night, so you will find other more detailed responses elsewhere. My recommendations: get gsfinder, claunch and SmallMenuPlus NOW.

- investigate the BigStorage Rom hack. (see Wiki)

Will try to post more later if possible.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] wkwk:
apart from games I'd recommend the following:

1. Eye on privacy

2. XCPU Scalar

3. SPB plus

4. HiCalc

5. Novii remote

6. imusic
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mister B:
I would recommend;

AE Button plus

Allows you to map up to 3 functions per button, works great on the magician

+ its free

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20322

"Total commander" is a great free file explorer

"Mortscript" is a useful for custom tweaking

"PHM Traylaunch" put shortcuts in the System Tool Tray

Also search this forum for a sound tweak that vastly improves audio quality when listening to music via headphones

& checkout http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] number16:
Thanks guys, great advices there.

Speaking of AE Button plus, I installed the (free) ver 1.0.1 but somehow it only works for the contact and schedule button. I didn't re-assign the TALK/END buttons because it says if I do I won't be able to use these buttons in the dialer.

And somehow AE Button also doesn't work for the camera and record buttons (on the side) neither ... if I re-assign some other tasks to them, they don't bring up the camera application but won't start the intended application neither. I just hear a few beeps and nothing happen.

Does the paid version of AEB Plus improve that?

Sorry if I've gone off-topic here...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mister B:
That's the same version as i'm using. Works on my contact & calender buttons & on my camera & record buttons perfectly, I use the camera button for the camera & flight mode toggle, I have mortscripts assigned to the other buttons which changes the buttons functions depending on what program is in the active window.

I find this easier to use stylus free than WM5 (I also own a Universal & a Prophet for the wife)

From your first post it sounds as your devise is a bit buggy, might be worth doing a hard reset or flashing it with a custom ROM.

A well setup Magician is an almost perfect PDA/Mobile phone balance

Have fun.

PS; Try the free trail for the paid version of AE Button & see if you like it.

i have 2.5.1 registered version i cant figure how to toggle flight mode operation..help plz and i wanna ask if we can put magician on vibrate mode with any any key ???
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mister B:
Flight mode toggle

Download from link below then unzip & copy the program below to your phone or sd card, then create a shortcut to it in your programs folder (if you have a shortcut in your programs folder, it will show up in the menu in Buttons). Then go to "Settings>Buttons" & pick what button you want to link to the flight mode toggle program.

Vibrate mode toggle

You could create a batch file to use with Mortscript (freeware) which would turn your vibrate on & off, then link this batch file to a button.

Its quite easy to do, do a search for Mortscript. If you need help let me know & i'll write the script for you & give you what help I can in setting it up.

Mortscript is a great bit of software which can enable you to solve a few problems so its worth doing some research on it.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] max414:
i have got mort script but it s too much for my little brain......if was hoping if u could provide the file i will assign it a button ...looking forward to your help...thx for flight mode toggle
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] number16:
I've got the paid version of AE Buttons Plus and it still runs a little funny sometimes ... certain buttons will work from time to time. For example, I left "single click" for Button1 untouched (which should be Calender by default) and "double click" would start Notes. Well, it starts Notes on double-click all right, but from time to times single-click wouldn't do anything. A reset usually fixes the problem, but then it'll happen again after a while.

So instead of leaving "single click" for the button un-assigned, I've assigned it to Run Appz -> Notes. That did the trick so far.

I also find that Wisbar Advanced 2 is causing quite a bit of problem ... anybody else has problem with it? With WA2, PhoneAlarm and AEButtons running at the same time, the Magician gets pretty unstable. It's a lot better if I don't load WA2.

Which is too bad, cos i've been a fan of Wisbar from long ago (well, it was a freeware then) ... anybody has any suggestion for a taskbar launcher? I really don't want something that's too busy looking, and I don't like clauncher ... I use the today screen for caleder plugin's and what not.

Thanks,

If you guys interested have a look at the 10 Best Softwares

Comments?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] number16:
Here's my 2 cents on this '10best software' list ... befoer I start I gotta say for the most part I don't agree with it, for 1 reason or another.

1. Wisbar Advanced / Desktop.

Ok, I really like Wisbar, dating back to the PPC2002 times. It was a smart little program that worked very well as a launcher and took up close to nothing in terms of memory and storage, and better, it was a freeware. The Wisbar advanced these days though, is a memory hog for what it does. It may not be a problem on somehting like a x51v, but on a device like the Magician it really isn't the best solution for launcher. Plus, I dunno if it's just me, but I ran into all kinds of software problems with Wisbar advanced 2, potentially caused by software conflict with other softwares I have. Maybe someone else have better luck with WA2 though.

2. PocketBreeze

Never really used it, but personally I'm not a fan of busy today screen ... but that's just me.

3. PocketWeather

DOn't know why I'd pay for this software when I can get ADBWeather for free.

4. PocketMusic

I used PocketMusic in the PPC2002 days, and it's not bad ... but these days when you can get GSPlayer for free, it gives PM a run for the $$.

5. RescoFileExplorer

No question about this one. Always the first program I install after a hard-reset, 'nuff said.

6. Memmaid / PocketMechanics

I use Memmaid and it's great. Never used PocketMechanics

7. QuickNotes

Never used it ... so can't really say.

8. SPB Backup

I used Sprite Backup on my old PPC so I continue to use it on the Magician. Other than being rather slow when it scans your device, I have no complaint about Sprite. I never used SPB so I can't compare.

9. Internet Browser

Haven't tried anything other than IE so can't say ...

10. Theft Alarm

Well, I use eWallet to store all the sensitive information ... never used theft alarm so can't say.

I guess that's just the list for PPC ... because for PPC phones, I'd say PhoneAlarm's one of the top 'must-get' softwares for sure.

In this video Run Linux on your Android Phone (The Easy Way), the person doing the video touts you to download a zip file. Inside that .zip, there are three files, the one that really matters, I found out is Ubuntu 10.04. That's so far outdated. Now, I have an Ubuntu 14.04 install on my hard drive. Couldn't I do something, a fair bit (if not exactly) like that, only using an ubuntu.img image of my Ubuntu 14.04 install?

OK. I have one I posted elsewhere, but let's see if I can get an answer here.

My cache is full. All 450(ish)MB. I can clear cache but it just fulls up again. I have a lot of apps, but after about 1/3 of them are installed the cache gets full and I get Package file invalid errors.

Is it just because I have a lot of apps or is something else going on? Is it possible to repartition (with or without data loss, I don't care) or should the cache be clearing itself out?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
You need to delete the init.d script that moves dalvik cache to /cache, then wipe cache and dalvik and let your tab rebuild the dalvik cache in its original place. This is because you have too many apps and the dalvik cache has completely filled the cache partition.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
I found system/init.d folder with some files in it. Where is the actual script file? I have hidden files enabled in ES Explorer.

Or am I deleting the scripts in that folder?

Is there a longer term fix? I've never run into this before. Not that I'm an expert, but I've loaded custom ROMs on various Nooks and never had this issue even with all the apps. Is it just because MONI uses a different partition scheme?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
There is a file named along the lines of dalvik cache or dcache in /etc/init.d, I forgot the actual name. You can open the script and check if it contains something like

bind /cache /data/dalvik-cache

Delete that file.

The reason is that because our tab has an extra chunk of space in /cache just sitting there collecting dust, AAcount decided to move the dalvik cache there to save a few hundred mb of space in /data. It won't do any harm for tabs that doesn't have that many apps. But for your case, you had too many apps and used up all the space in cache, therefore you have to move them back to the original place.

This is just a personal addition from AAcount, you won't find this script in other ROMs.

Once everything is done you can check the size of /data/dalvik-cache if you're curious to know your dalvik cache's size.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
#!/system/bi/sh

rm -r/data/dalvik-cache/*

busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

Thats 98dcache file

And that didn't work. I will look at more files tonight when I get home.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
Got it. I guess ES Explorer couldn't delete the file. I used Root Browser to delete the file and cleared the cache and it worked.
