How to unbricked my Xperia C

I flash the Lolipop ROM successfully, but when missing apps and large icons appear i use bugfixer.zip to fix this problem but unfortunately it bricks in aroma installer and now only RED LED when I charge the phone.

I tried to follow every guide to unbricked Xperia C but none of them works.

When I connect my phone to PC it doesn't detect anything.

Pls Help

Thanks

does it work on c3

Hi i was wondering if this work only on xperia c or it can work on xperia c3 build 19.2.1.a.0.72

thanks
[Sony Xperia C] abhishekr700:
Dont flash roms of other device on your phone

It may seriously mess up your phone

If still you are a risk taker you may try

But I seriously advise not to do this

Thanks
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
It is clearly specified in the guide that you have to use CWM, please use CWM only.

Well repair your device using this : CLICK HERE
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
This might help you : Call the customer care and ask them for 3G Internet Settings. They will send you the internet settings configuration message, install settings from that message and then you will get new APN in your device as soon as you install those settings.
[Sony Xperia C] Kijang2015:
I have flash using cwm as you instructed, but when flashing bugfixer.zip using cwm it goes to aroma installer and in the middle of the process it shows an error. Then, i go back to cwm menu and reboot device then only red led flashing.

I tried using wmshua as you told but after i plug in the usb cable with holding volume down button, it didnt detect or search for drivers. Is it hard bricked? or any other way to solve the problem

thanks
[Sony Xperia C] SammyWxda:
thanks so much

i flashed this and it works perfectly , nothing but a little bit of lags in home screen left and only left scrolling , but everything else is just fine ^^ , thanks so much for your work and one more thing , the Dialer app is the same , so can it be changed to lolipop one ? or it requires android 5.0 to actually be installed and work ? :confused: again thanks for everything you done ;) :good:
[Sony Xperia C] minimaster4734:
Oh wow, it was so simple that did not think of it :P thank you for the tip!
[Sony Xperia C] drelove:
Thanks...i now use the lollipop on my xperia c. but now, i am unable to change my imei. can you please help. thanks
[Sony Xperia C] hendra83:
After following instruction for Lollipop_Xperia_C_B.2.16 on my Xperia C and I can't PAIR this device to PC because i can't found this menu "SETTINGS > XPERIA > USB CONNECTIVITY". do you have some UPDATE to fix this problem ? ;) or must be FLASH to Stock ? :) :good:
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
As there are changes in the Settings menu that's why you are not able to find the exact option and the exact place. This is not a bug at all.

You can find that option inside some other option or just connect your device to pc and then pull your statusbar and there you can change the option too.
[Sony Xperia C] AnisOvic:

a bug shaw

In mt xperia c I find a bug of sim tool kit icon

I have use two sim one is Vodafone and other is Idea but both STK icons are same

first I installed rom with one sim of Idea. rom installed successfully but when I insert the second sim of Vodafone I find the both icons are same (Vodafone services). so I remove both sim and reinsert and reboot, both icons are same (Virtual Topup and other is Idea Power) both are Idea's icons.
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Yes, the icons for all SIM are same. But to distinguish between them there is '1' and '2' written on the Network Icon. Pull down the statusbar and there it is given, which is 1 and which is 2.
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Follow the instructions of getting your device on 16.0.B.2.16. That will work for you.
[Sony Xperia C] DeadXperiance:
Today my xperia c does not boot shaw only Sony Logo stuck.what can I do

I tried to go to recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot but same position, Help me
[Sony Xperia C] hendra83:
can you give me some option to Pairing Xperia C to PC via Wi-fi... (With this [ROM] Lollipop_Xperia_C_B.2.16) ??? :) or can you give me some reference application with the same function with this Menu "SETTINGS > XPERIA > USB CONNECTIVITY"... thanks... :good:
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
You cannot pair your device with PC using Wi-Fi... you can use Bluetooth for that. But if you want to share data between pc and mobile using Wi-Fi then use the app "AirDroid" (for that your mobile and pc should be connected to same Wi-Fi).
[Sony Xperia C] SammyWxda:
the rom is amazing so far , but how to change the font ? , and didn't tell me is it possible to change the dialer calls app ? when you try to call someone interface and when you receive a call the answer - reject interface ? :o

This Is A very Very Detailed Guide :

Step 1 : Upgrade your device to 16.0.B.2.16

Step 2 : Root Your Device : Click Here To Know How to do that

Step 3 : Download ROM files from the First Post. (Click on Mediafire Icon or Google Drive icon, whichever you preffer)

Step 4 : Install "mobileuncle tools" from playstore.

Step 5 : Download "recovery.img" from HERE and place it in your internal storage and not insode any folder.

Step 6 : Copy all three files "[ROM]Lollipop_Xperia_C_1{iSiddharth}.zip","[ROM]Lollipop_Xperia_C_2{iSiddharth}.zip","BugFixer.zip" in your SD card and not inside any folder.

Step 7 : Open mobileuncle tools and go to recovery update>>select the 'removery.img" there and then boot into recovery.

Step 8 : When you get into CWM then select "backup and restore">> then select "backup" and wait for some time till it completes.

Step 9 : After the backup is complete go back and select "data/factory reset" option>> select "reset" option and then "yes". wait till it completes.

Step 10 : After it completes, go back and Select "Install zip from SD card."

Step 11 : Select "[ROM]Lollipop_Xperia_C_1{iSiddharth}.zip" and then "yes". Wait till it completes. After it completes, reboot your device.

Step 12 : Complete the full initial boot setup and then power off your device.

Step 13 : After your device turns off, press Volume down and power button together and leave after the phone vibrates and displays SONY.

Step 14 : Directly go to "Install zip from SD card" and then select "[ROM]Lollipop_Xperia_C_2{iSiddharth}.zip". After it completes, reboot your device.

Step 15 : After your phone boots up completely and you get on the Home Scree. Again switch off your phone and then go to recovery using volume down and power button together.

Step 16 : Now "install zip from sd card" and then the 'BugFixer.zip" file. Finally reboot your device.

As soon as you reboot your device and it boots up, now you have Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM in your Xperia C

Bug fix link broken?

Hi, i'm having a problem downloading the bug fix. This is a nice rom btw! I have been following this thread and waited for the bug fixes, but unfortunately I can't download it. Hope you fix it soon. Thank you for the awesome rom!
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Click On The mediafire or google drive icon on the first post and there you will find the ROM files as well as the BugFixer.zip file which is CWM flashable.
[Sony Xperia C] iSiddharth:
Yes, this ROM is deodexed.

A nice work really like it,but a little problem i can't find the "active clip" app ,is it in this rom ? If not any way to install the app?
[Sony Xperia C] mshtob:
phone bricked please help

I got to flashing the recovery and I flashed it using Mobileuncle as suggested.

I restarted and went into recovery, wiped dalvik cache and data and then restarted by mistake before flashing file.

The Sony logo appeared and stayed there.

I can still go into recovery but it doesn't flash anything and it keeps saying "error bad file"

I downloaded the stock ROM in .ftf format and tried flashing it using flashtool but it gets stuck at 0% saying "flashing loader" forever and I think that's because the boot loader is locked

Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I've always used my note3 charger on my note 10.1 without issues and I'm very disappointed to see that the quick charger that comes with my note4 doesn't charge my note10.1!

When it's connected the red cross on the battery pops up (this usually happens when a low power charger is used)

Does this happen to you too or have I a broken charger?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adoe:
No problems for me. I am using it to charge my Sony tablet-z with no problems.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jimh425:
My Note 4 charger charges my Nexus 10 without issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spexwood:
The Note 4's charger works on my Note 10.1 2014 ed. It obviously doesn't fast charge my tablet though.

The charger is SUPPOSED to act as a 9V charger when connected to Fast Charge devices like the Note 4, but also act as a 5V charger for any other device. If the device can't use the full 5V (like a phone that only uses 2V or something), the device itself will only draw as much power as it can accept under 5V (2V for example).

If your charger isn't charging your Note 10.1, then the charger could be bad, or maybe even your tablet's charging port. If the tablet charges with other chargers, then I doubt it's the latter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 299792458:
I get the same thing. I have a note 10.1 and using my note 4's adaptive charger with the note 10.1 charge cable I get the dreaded red x -- meaning super slow charge. All items are in perfect working order (doesn't happen with other 2 amp non-adaptive charging chargers).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] btort1:
So it's safe to charge my S4, Nexus 7 2012 and S2 with my Note 4 stock fast charger? I remember some guy making a thread that it fried his S4...I've been cautious ever since

Hi,

Today when I was trying to update my moto g with lollipop version 5 due to less speed I couldn't made it and cluck on update maybe later but now when I m trying to update it it says your system is updated I want to update my cell with lollipop and would like to know how I can get it back to update my cell plz guide me seeking your help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aidanbree:
Hi Folks,

I was having the issue with my Vario II (on my 3rd Handset) where the phone enters standby and never wakes up until a soft reset.

When the 3rd handset arrived I decided to bite the bullet and go for WM Black and see if it made the handset any better. Unfortunately, as good as the new ROM (now on V2) is, it didnt solve my hanging issue.

The next thing I decided to do was change the radio ROM. I first went to the 1.38.10 and then to 1.38.11 and then to 1.27.00, as the later was decribed as being the most stable.

As you have probably guessed by now, the issue still plagues me....Even more so since the radio upgrades. The symptoms are as follows;

- Some calls I answer go silent after around 30 secs and I need to soft reset

- The phone can show full bars of signal but the phone diverts to answering machine

- When connecting to the internet, the icons shows as connecting but then drops to no signal (showing a !) then after a while will start to reconnect. Sometimes I need to soft reset to get the connection again

I am wondering if there is something else I am missing that could be causing the issue. I am using it today with no apps and still have the same issues as above plus the freezing issue.

Is there anything else I can change???? or am I just cursed?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers and thanks in advance

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
I would say, try your SIM card in a TOTALLY different phone (not just a different Hermes) As you would have to be fairly unlucky for it to happen with THREE seperate devices, especially with different ROMs also.

If there is a handset available to you that is either a tmobile or SIM unlocked.....give it a go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
I belive it's your SIM card also..ask your provider to replae the SIM card for you. Just tell them your issues and it happened to three handset with the same SIM. I bet they will able to replace the SIM card without charge.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Yep SIM cards cost JACK ALL to the providers. If they do charge you then thats gotta ring alarm bells!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Webhmaster:
Hanging on wake-up was my big disappointment when going from Vario I to Vario II.

It decreased after upgrading to WM6 (first black 1.2, now black 2.0). In my case the SPB mobile shell also did not seem to do the problem any good, probably because it starts the 'now' screen on wake-up.

I have not much software on my device and have very few hanging issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] luggyman:
I work for a Cingular retailer, and I just signed my fathers business up. Someone had told me that the IMEI on the account had to match the phone on a 3g phone or the exact same symptoms you are seeing would occur. I confirmed it with my pop's business. the three people using 3g phones had serious problems with calls going to VM, not getting txts, and poor service in general. Once i fixed the serial numbers Cingular-side, everything was peachy. This happens to be my first post (longtimelurker) so if I'm full of ****, feel free to tell me. Check with your service provider and make sure they have the right IMEI on file. If not, you'll prolly have to go to a store to have a clerk fix it, but it'll be worth your trip if im right :-).

Hope I helped.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
I don't think IMEI is the issue here. I just signed up with Cingular and got a Motorola K1..but the SIM is a 3G sim. I simply pop that into my Hermes and it's been working for 2 month now without any issues. Another thing with Cingular...the IMEI on their database is automatically updated..it's not like you have a Motorola phone and switched the SIM to a SonyEricsson phone and still using the Motorola IMEI #....it will not work that way. In fact, all GSM providers will automatically update the IMEI in their system once the SIM is registered in their network. I can confirm that with my HTC tytn with the Cingular's online account. You can check the online account pretty much on what type of phone you current have. If I use the Motorola K1, the online account will be updated as unknow phone due to it's new I guess...but when I use the HTC tytn..it's automaticlly updated as HTC 8525...even I manually change the phone type to other phone...after couple minutes..I log back on and it will show the HTC 8525 again. Base on this, I am sure IMEI is not the issue here. One thing to note is that I did get that hanging on wake up when I have the SPB software installed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
i can concur about the IMEI... i havent changed my IMEI on my account since i had a sony ericsson a few years back... and i have no data problems.. i take that back, i had some when i first got the 8525, but then found out i needed the white 3G sim, since then it has been flawless.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aidanbree:
Awaiting Sim

Thanks for all the advice. I tried the phone with someone elses sim card the other day and it seemed to behave itself. I am going to phone t-mobile and ask them for a replacement SIM.

Will let you know how I get on.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aidanbree:
AGGGHHHH!

It doesnt get any better....

I just phoned T-Mobile and asked them for a replacement SIM to be sent out. The girl I spoke to said that she could order me a new SIM which would be out in between 1-3 days but she would have to disconnect my current SIM when the new one was despatched! This means no phone for this time, which I need for business

I asked whether I could phone for activation when the new SIM arrived but this she tells me is not possible.......AGGGGHHH!

She did suggest that I could pay 15quid for an 'interactive' swap over at a T-Mobile store but I have issues getting to a store during the week and they are then going to see that VM6 Black edition is on the phone!

Any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
What the hell?!?! Thats bullcrap if ive ever heard it, when i got a replacment USIM from O2 my existing one worked until i called O2 to activate the new one? Maybe T-Mobile has a backwards way of provisioning them?! That sucks dude. Suggest you call them again (if you havent already got an order through) and do another request...you may hit the jackpot with a different operator?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
As far as I understand how GSM works...The T-Mobile lady is correct. You can't have the two SIMs having the same #, one has to be deactivated before the new one is active. But if you are sure the new SIM will get to you in a day or two, you can have them to schedule deactivation of the old SIM two days later, schedule the new SIM to be active in two days..the only donw time you have is probably a an hour or two if the timing is correct. If you are able to go to a T-mobile store for direct swap, you can get the new SIM working within an hour but they shouldn't be charging you $15 at the store even you have WM6 black on the phone becasue the phone is not faulty, the faulty part is the SIM and they should honor their warranty.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Agreed on the warranty there dude.

O2 simply sent out a replacment USIM, obviously not activated yet. It arrived and i called them, they took the sim card number and said I should lose reception on my existing sim (it wasnt 3G ready) and thats when i should put the new one in, as soon as i lost reception i swapped and it was working (got the U symbol straight away).

I figure T-mobile would do the same?!?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aidanbree:
Bit the bullet yesterday and paid 15 quid for a new SIM card. It has made he haw difference. Still got major issues. The phone has no signal most of the time and even on the rare occasions when it does, the calls go to answerphone.

The signal shows an exclamation mark (!) and the only way I can get rid of it is to do a hard reset and it works for a couple of hour (or less). It is as though it is constantly in flight mode.

2 days ago, this pc im curently running has been infected with this ctb locker. It crypted almost 99% of the photos and text files zip files... First thing i did i installed malawarebytes and run a scan. then with the spy hunter.... I saw the files termination was out till I installed windows 8 on it .

1 After the infection files change name at the end with ¨pcmvrdi ¨

2 After the scans the pcmvrdi thing was gone. Now after I installed the windows the files from my external hard turned back to pcmvrdi ending wich I gues it means that are still infected .. encrypted....

I managed to recover some files from drive C in the windows thanks to shadow explorer... But the D and the external ... NO.

Can someone help me please ? Now I´m running a scan with R- Studio to see if I can do something. Please Help.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolazius:
Hi guys,

There is an issue with XT1068 (TITAN RETAILALL Deutschland) with sim2. I had original .17 firmaware, then updated to .23 DSDS and immediately updated to 5.0.2 captured SOAK OTA (indian). 3-4 days moto was working fine, both SIM card and both networks were in a working state. I was received sms and calls. Then SIM2 starts to disappear (like no sim in the slot). Restart usually helped. And finally on 4th or 5th day it disappeared completely. Tried swapping SIM cards between slots, to be sure that both cards are working. Just the same problem was reported by one more guy in the 5.0.2OTA thread.

I tried downgrading to .23 DSDS KitKat using mfastboot / fastboot, then dalvik cache and cache wipe in TWRP. (Had to unlock the bootloader :( ). No success. SIM2 in settings simply disabled (grayed). Then I have flash RETAIL DE .23. still no success. SIM1 works fine, but SIM2 is "grayed".

Current baseband is MSM8626BP_1032..394.88.00R, EMEA_DSDS_CUST.

I found a thread for Moto G1, guy fixed network issue by flashing MODEM couple of times. No success for me.

Any ideas or suggestions? :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mr_gmoney16:
I bricked my T Mobile G3 D851 by flashing Dark Knight 5.0 rom that was in this thread. I didn't think much of it because normally roms are in the right places in xda, I understand its my fault and there is no one to blame but myself. I just need some help restoring it. It does not turn on at all. I plugged it into the computer however, it showed some life. My computer was installing the drivers automatically but it fails. So there has to be a way to fix this right??
[T-Mobile LG G3] Eliminater74:
If you can get into Download mode, then your softbricked and can reflash full firmware.. If not, Then sorry, unless you have a Jtag, there is not much you can do.

The drivers you think are installing are not the ones that you could use to do anything. I only know this because I have hardbricked a G3 before as well.

Hopefully yours is only softbricked.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mr_gmoney16:
what's a jtag and what can I do to fix my phone? I can't go into download mode, my phone won't turn on at all.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Ducter:
When plugged in and your computer recognizes it, starts installing drivers it could be drivers adb, I would think if the phone was truly off it wouldn't do anything. Could be wrong tho, do you have adb set up? What happens when you run adb devices?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Eliminater74:
Its not the adb drivers your thinking of, Its something else. I forgot what its called but it only comes up when you brick your LG, its something as in the area as nullUSB or something liike that.. I been though all this before. But I hope its not that.. I hope he can access his phone some how..

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Tell us what does your Device manager say when you plug in your phone to the computer? is it something NULL ?

What drivers are installing is what im asking. what are they listed as .
