Hello all
Just got hold of one of these the unit starts to the screen where it says welcom to t-mobile and with a small letters in the bottem right hand corner stating G R 5.01.16 i assume that this is the rom version. I have added a pic of the screen, Apprently it will only get to this screen, ((im new to xda;s) i work with normal pda;s not the phone type sorry) Now is this the boot loader screen and if so can i use the sd card way to fix it. If not can anyone give me any ideas? many thanks. I have added a pic of the screen
Regards Andy
This is the bootscreen.
Looks like you have a corrupt GSM part.

Thanks, Rudegar.
Another question: The instructions say - among other points:
1. Download the XDA-DevelopersROM Version 1.1
2. Install the ROM on your Device via SD-Card and bootloader.
Is this mandatory? I mean, to install this special version? Or would it suffice, if one has upgraded with another ROM from lumpistefan's site?
Inhowfar differs this ROM from others?[/code]

Don´t know why, but this ROM is one of only one, that is booting complete with a malfunction GSM-part.
So i would recommend to use this.
After your system is fixed, you could change to every ROM Version....

Hi There,
I have an I-Mate Kjam in the UK which is running 2.16.0001 which i think is a G4 as the Wizard Service Tool states its a G4. It has WM5 and want to have WM6.1 or 6.0. The phone i think is unlocked as i have used 3 other sims in the same phone from other phone suppliers. What do i need to download ro upgrade it as i have been reading all the forums on here and just dont have a clue which download i need as i dont want to brick the phone
I am also runnning Vista 32Bit but have XP pro if i need to use that to upgrade
Thanks
Chris
You are in the G4 forum,but still can't read the 'Stickies' at the top of this thread 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL', read the 'freakin' stickies.
Hi,
Yep i have been reading the forum and alot of people also do the same but i am just confussed on what i need as u said i need to read SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' but what are these

To upgrade to wm6 rom,its required to have a CID unlocked phone,but a G4 phone cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 device,therefore,through these two methods,a patched IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) are flashed to a G4 device,tricking it to believe that it is CID Unlocked (SuperCID) Semi/Temporarily,to upgrade it to wm6 or wm6.1 Rom,got it ? Read the Stickies for full details, if you are looking to upgrade your phone
Just tried the Hard SPL for G4 everything go's ok until the ROM Update Program in windows trys to update then i get a windows box popup to say the ROM Update Ultilty program has stopped working

That's easy, if your phone is bricked like too many people do it:

That's what I tell to many people do and they said it works, so stop spamming the sections speaking: "My cellphone is bricked, help me!". Hope it saves your life too
UPDATE: According to our friend, the updated version of PC companion doesn't work anymore, so please check the instructions on this video!

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

I thought of that and I've reassembled looking at this video youtube com /watch?v=JVBTCgAzkY4
I did everything like in the video. If I didn't put anything correctly, the phone wouldn't start... :/
Any specific ideas to look for?
Thanks a lot!
If you had the battery disconnected during your work changing the case (and you definitely should), then put your phone to charge in wall plug for at least 15 minutes (or even more) and then try to turn it on...

After flashing I'm facing the problem. Now, the phone just shows the lights on the screen, no SE logo...
The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...
Is my phone dead?
I think so
Sorry I can't help you.
Edit. Have you tried another firmware/re download the file? Just in case. Good luck bro.

In the service center, the guy told me something about wiring the phone under the battery. That was the last hope for the phone...

What is your exact model? Because you stated you were running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it... Was that the original firmware it came with? I think you need to be in this forum, for the 'big' X10, and not the X10 Mini (e10i).

Ok so I have an SGP771 that is on build 28.0.A8.260 and running the AndroPlus V12 kernel and I am attempting to update via Sony companion software. The software has downloaded the update and attempts to start the update, it shuts the tablet down then on the software screen I get:
Startup error
An error occurred while preparing to update your device. Your device is unchanged.
Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact Sony support.
Error code: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure
CompanionUE 3417, UE_2003
Ok so is this because I have the AndroPlus kernel? What am I missing, I haven't seen this problem articulated by anyone else so I am guessing I am missing something simple but can't for the life of me understand what.
I am new to Sony devices and certainly long for the simplicity of HTC updates... Why does Sony make things so difficult when it doesn't have to be...

Thank you for the information. I will probably end up just selling the damn tablet as flashtool apparently can't be downloaded without torrent software which is ridiculous. OMG I never realized the pain Sony users had to go through for something that should be simple.

I agree that smasung or HTC tablet is better as it has custom roms. But for me, having Sony tablet is also a great deal especially after being a user of ios, and having endless awaiting of jailbreak.
Pccompanion suppose you to have untouched system files, in order to save all your data on internal storage after an update , and if you modified it with xposed, luckypatcher and other stuff. Of course something goes wrong if pccompanion tries to update it with saving data.
For me, using flashtool is no problem at all. Important information is saved on sdcard, apps are recovered by google account.

Thanks. My only point with HTC was that you only need to know your way around ADB and Fastboot really and you can load just about anything when the bootloader is unlocked.
I have Flashtool working but stuck at the part where I am trying to flash the update to the device as it says the device isn't in debug mode but I have usb debugging selected and I've reloaded drivers so I am not certain were to go from here with it.
