Rebooting continuously.

I have downgraded my Xperia X8 as per the procedure...

Everything worked fine and flashing was successful.

Now, when I switch on the phone it is booting and showing the sony animation and going till the Sony Ericcson green logo... after that it is restarting.... same is repeating again and again.

Can anyone help me in resolving this?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 General] propc:
wipe user data. if you use non-gui version
[XPERIA X8 General] XperiaDev:
Will try that.

Do we need to do it while downgrading from 2.1 to 1.6. As the option says choose yes if you are updating from 1.6 to 2.1?

Regards

Sri
[XPERIA X8 General] boniek0210:
I chose "y" and it worked for me. I used non-gui flasher

Thanks Lef.teris
[XPERIA X8 General] lockieio:
hi...after whole day i am unable to downgrade to 1.6 version. Have the same problem like boyzdad. I tried every thing here ,but every time "searching for xperia". What i am doing wrong??? I turn off mobile,hold back button,plug usb and then green light cames for around 10sec and then nothing,when i relase it,mobile is on charging mode...argggghhh..please help. btw i have all driver installed...
[XPERIA X8 General] Boyzdad:
Hi,

Yeah I had the same problem but the way Botoxopfer showed me worked... heres what I did to get it to work :)

1. Download and install SEUS (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice)

2. Open SEUS and select the X8 from the menu and click "next"

3. Turn off your X8 and take out the battery

4. Place battery back in and leave the phone off

6. Plug the USB into your X8 whilst holding the "back" button at the same time

7. It should now connect to SEUS and say there is no update available

8. As you can see it will be in flash mode now (green light on and nothing shown on the screen, you can now close SEUS)

8. Open up the flasher and you should answer the questions it asks as shown below (non gui version):

Q1: 2

Q2: Y

Q3: 1 (I assume you are on Windows XP?)

9. Now it should recognise your X8 and start to flash the firmware files to it :)

Please tell me how you get on as it is worth the hassle in the end :)
[XPERIA X8 General] lockieio:

[XPERIA X8 General] XperiaDev:
Thanks for this tip. It worked perfectly.
[XPERIA X8 General] XperiaDev:
As suggested by 'propc' select wipe option 'y' while flashing. That should solve the restart problem.
[XPERIA X8 General] lockieio:
still nothing...ok i press 2 then for wipe data i press y and the 1 for xp 32. starts but blocked at amss.sin...any sugestion??? i want this done! please help :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Jak-01:
@lockieio

Hello,

I had this problem as well, but I just tried it a few times (disconnected my X8 and reconnected it, or try open and closing the flasher program and try it a few times). Also try taking the battery in and out of the X8 and then try again. I am not sure why It got stuck on amss.sin, but I thought it was stuck one time but I gave it 5 minutes and then it continued. The whole flashing process for me took about 6-10 minutes.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hey guys,

I have my phone connected to my PC in flash mode (green light is on).

I am trying to change my xperia x8 phone to 1.6 before I root it. I have followed the instructions in the first post but when I click flash in the program, a box shows up saying firmware.. but there is nothing to click.

I can't select a firmware, because none show up! Has this happened to anyone else?:confused:

EDIT: I need to learn to read. I even posted this in the wrong thread. I had copied the contents of the firmware stuff instead of copying the folder!
[XPERIA X8 General] velnens123:

Is this normal? I followed instructions, opeed SEUS, followed SEUS instructions, but SEUS does'nt detect my phone in flash mode! My screen is off, light is green and i have drivers. Flash tool non-gui or gui always says Searching for Xperia... Please help me!:confused::confused:

[XPERIA X8 General] shigga:
I downgraded back to 1.6 but now I am not getting 3G anymore. I'm on at&t. Is there a setting I'm missing. I checked the apn and all seems in order.
[XPERIA X8 General] shigga:
I checked the baseband version it says unknown. I'm guessing this is the problem?
[XPERIA X8 General] brisuth:
i too am confused by this guessing it may be obvious but cant see it so a simple explorer type response may help i open the unzipped folder E15i_1.6 then i open the folder in that E15i Customized GBA World there are now 12 files there are they the files in question and do i select all twelve to copy or do i select the folder they are in?

where do i copy the files to ? i have two options 1. X10Flash-2.1 2. X10Flash-2.1-nonGui

an answer for each option would be appreciated so people using gui and non gui know what to do
[XPERIA X8 General] stylo969:

any idea what is wrong?

I've tried unrooting my phone and tried flashing it again, but same result.

The log said checksum err so I assumed the 1.6 image that I downloaded was corrupted somehow, considering on the web rapidshare said the file was 108mb, and mine was only 103mb. (one of corrupt indication, or am I wrong?)

but when I tried to download again, my browser downloader said it is 103mb.

any advice? i'm pretty much lost here :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] big_sw2000:
Right then this is doing my head in.

I have a HTC Hero, so a big fan of Android.

My Wifes HD2 ive installed Android on no problem. All works fine.

Problem is she smashed the mobile up, and has had it replaced.

I did get Android running sucsefully, but on reboot just got a black screen and green HTC logo, and it just sticks. I even left it overnight.

Now evertime i install a diffrent version of Android, or a diffrent radio, and a diffrent version of Windows, its the same every time. It just will not boot.

I have tried diffrent versions of Android

4 diffrent radios

and loads of diffrent Window roms

My current set up is Radio 2.08.50.05

Android FroyoStone Sense V3.4

Widows The latest Elegance rom, sorry forgot full name.

This is the original setup, which i know works fine.

But why not now, any help please

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KingJames534:
Try one of 2 things:

Free up some memory on the SD card.

OR

The new builds come in a double folder. Rename the 1st folder "Android" and delete the second sub-folder so you only have the build's components in ONE folder. Boot it up and wait about 10 minutes. You will still see the Green HTC but it should boot into android. Let me know if this helps!!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] linktrek:
I tried installing several pkgs of android on my HTC pure. I keep on getting an error

*is not certified" and "missing components". Both errors on one dialog box.

I kept thinking that it was the certification error. But now I am starting to think that something is not registered inside winmo that is causing the error.

Note that this is the factory ROM. Note I set my sd root up exactly as instructed.

Also not that when installing a cab, the progress bar starts. But it shows no progress and I eventually get an "unsuccessful install" page.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] linktrek:
Well, after about 8hrs of work, it came to mind that I might have deleted some factory files while installing and uninstalling a bunch of software. So I did a hard'

reset. This cured the Haret.exe problem.

Now I am on to the next problem which is the progress bar stopping short of the full android boot.

For those that returned there phones due to dust under the screen, Was the replacement phone a refurb or was it new?????
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daewond3r:
I know normally it's a refurb but since the phone is so new, who knows. I returned my Slide after 3 weeks after noticing dust under the screen. I think they gave me a new one.

I just noticed dust under my screen too. So annoyed. Probably going to exchange it this week.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToterPunkt:
I want to think its a new phone but i just received my phone by ups about 15 minutes ago. The box was all dinged up and when i opened it up i had the skeleton of the phone in those little white packages they now use to hold the phones and the screen protector was all smashed up and hardly on the screen itself. I noticed the back part of the phones rubbery sides had these weird bubbly smudges everywhere.....it doesn't feel very "new" >_>

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryllh:
It is my understanding that you cab go to any T-Mobile store and return your phone (if you purchased online and its past your remorse period for that store)

I was told by wirefly that I should bring the phone back to the local T-Mobile store to exchange it since I was a day past the 14 day remorse.

I think it has to be a t-mobile corp store too.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I was told by T-mo rep that they can do exchanges in-store, since MyTouch is their flagship line. May be a bunch of BS but who knows... give it a try, what's the worth that can happen?
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
I have spent all morning trying to get rom manager to fix permissions and have finally tracked down the culprit. the fix_permissions script is looking for /data/system/packages.xml. At least with perception 4 it is in /dbdata/system/packages.xml

I have edited the file and attached it.

First the rename and drop the .txt. the actual name of the file is fix_permissions

Copy to sdcard.

Using root explorer copy it to /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files

(good idea to back up the other one first.)

Issue I have is after I reboot, the file resorts back to the old file.

Not sure why.

If you want to edit the file directly in root explorer, there were 4 instances of the /data/system/packages.xml

!!All credits go to the developers of rom manager and associated programs within it!!
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
I for the life of me cannot figure out why the file keeps changing.

So the best thing i can think of is to load it to the sdcard.

Using terminal emulator cd /mnt/sdcard and then sh the file.

Quickest diretiest way to get it to work.

I hope it helps someone out there.

su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh fix_*
[Captivate General] jnagar:
Thank you--if it helps, I simply copied the packages.xml file into /data/system/ in order to run fix_permissions, and then just deleted the .xml file.

A temporary fix, yes, but I was just trying to fix a specific problem with ending phone calls causing an FC (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9943863#post9943863).
[Captivate General] YepMan68:
Thanks, your fix worked for me as well...

--Much appreciate the suggested fix. Worked like a charm.:)
[Captivate General] pushabutton:
do you have to delete the packages.xml afterwards?

what will happen if I just leave it in the data/system folder instead of copy/pasting it every time?

Oh ant thanks SO much. Really needed to be able to fix permissions after Nero v5 started to act crazy yesterday.
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
I haven't played with this in awhile, but it seemed that it was overwritten every time Rom manager started.

I'll play around with this and see what I can come up with as a more permanent solution.

[HTC Aria General] wistlo:
My HTC Aria (Liberty A6366) did not wake up from being left overnight with a sleeping screen, with Amazon Kindle Reader running. It's been running Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC-1 for a couple of weeks.

I have tried the hard reset procedure (volume down + top power button ) and pulled the battery for varying lengths of time. I also tried swapping the battery, cable, and charger with a working Aria with no result or response: no LED, no screen, no vibration.

There are two probe contacts on the circuit board near the SD and SIM slots accessible through holes in the cover. Anyone know what these two contacts are for? I have wondered whether those contacts are part of another reset mechanism (reset by shorting). They could also be voltage or sensor probe points, in which case shorting them would be a Bad Idea.

I have searched for a service manual for the Aria but HTC appears to keep that information under proprietary lock.

The phone is 32 days old and I don't really look forward to dealing with AT&T for a replacement, but that's what's next unless there is some other reset procedure beyond just Volume Down+Power.

The first one is battstatt and the second is clockr. Both are in the market.

I haven't tested on jpm roms. People have tried this and other themes on different roms and sometimes it works. You can try of you have a backup and the know how to fix things if it doesn't.

You can download all the icons from that link. And use them in launcherpro or desktop visualizer. Or did you ment something else?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] R64:
I made a new one for BUJP8 based on a working theme for that rom. I haven't tested it yet so consider it a beta. If you have a backup/revert you can try it but I can't say if and how it works.

You can put the icons anywhere as long as the gallery/mediascanner can detect them. Then just long press a icon in launcher pro and select change icon.

They are bigger than my older version from before 24-11-10 because I've added some themed apps. So that the musicplayer, gmail, mediascanner and settings use the same theme. With the next update I'll post them seperately.
