I would like to ask for some ideas what could possibly cause my problem with flashing one particular kernel.
Here`s my starting point:
1. I know what I`m doing, I`m comfortable with flashing custom kernels & roms, that means my bootloader is unlocked etc... /talking about U20i/
2. I` ve done extensive search on this forum and elsewhere
3. I went through SEUS update
4. I`ve got latest flashtool, but tried also older versions, tried on various PCs
5. There`s only this one .ftf in the firmware folder
5. I` ve got the right kernel file, triple-checked that, re-re-downloaded, md5
matches, nobody else reported this problem
When I try to flash it with flashtool, it gives me this error line:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="MEMORY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="HASH_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to init erase"
After that, I can flash ANY other kernel w/o problems.
Questions:
1. Is there anybody with the same problem?
Talking about this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ish1obpr8mtxdh6 , but you could possibly have the problem with other kernels too
2. Is there a possibility that my boot partition is somehow corrupted?
3. Is there a way to check for that and make some repair?
4. Am I loosing my mind? /I am, no need to answer to this,
thank you /
i also had this problem on my X8 when flash kernel Alfs CM8, but when i tried Kernel nAa, it is succes

I guess u want an ISC kernel (nAa kernel) for an nAa's MiniCM9...
try this buddy
Naa released an new version of his ics kernel. Take a look to this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636504
This iss U20_naa_ics_02
I hope my post helped you good luck
Thank you all. I'm using nAa's ics kernel and miniCM9 since the day it was released for our devices, so the above problem doesn't really matter no more. But the question remains - how such thing as described could possibly happen at all, when everybody else had no such problem with the same kernel and I am dead sure I had the right one and did everything I should. Well, **** happens and it's not always possible to explain why, obviously.

Seriously? Since the day it was released for your phone.. While you could not flash the kernel? Why didn't you say it had worked or something like that and close this thread as solved?

I can see I'm being misunderstood. The problem I described doesn't get solved if I flash OTHER kernel. The question remains the same: how could that thing happen at all? OK, I don't need that kernel mentioned in OP anymore, but still I hoped I could hear from people whether they hadn't experienced such things with other kernels and what could be possible solution. This would be useful if somedy in the future will search forums for help, don't you think?

Ah, you managed to flash the ICS2 kernel instead of ICS1, is that right?
I guess sometimes things fail for some reason, it seems this was a random bug that not many people experienced.
Have fun anyway with your new Rom, glad it worked out in the end.

As you say, for some reason - I hoped somebody could try to explain the nature of the actual reason. As nobody did, we can conclude it was, as you say, a random bug and close this thread, OK.
Hey Devs and users,
Been facing a problem lately, my ray is running on stock 4.0.3 rooted and modded with they system ui mod with the quick panel settings with hansip87's mod and also a few things i did was install the modded gpu driver and also installed and again uninstalled the megabass feature
Anyway I have the habit of switching off my phone and charging it through the wall and i've noticed it doesn't charge like that anymore, it keeps going in and out of the "sony" bootloop, is there any fix for this?
Would really appreciate if someone can fix this, want to be able to switchoff the phone and charge it
EDIT: had it for almost a year, just rooted last week i guess before it was stock and running good

So is there any solution for this?
I think you have done this.
and you did not read through the comments
the solution? repair via SUS
I have the same problem as you have now, but i can live with it because my phone performs better even on ICS.

oh now I get it, we're talking about rooting methods for ICS, am I right?
seems like we are on the same page but I used the one by asertyio. That "apparently" fixed my stuttering HD video recording
slower charging? yes, a bit. but that's because the phone is on while charging but I reached 3 days with sub-normal use
solved?
hi, sadly speaking that i have the exact problem, this problem emerged only after i install recovery (CWM) by nAa via the SE Tweak Installer v1.8. i do made a nandroid backup, would it be solved if i restore it? yet, if i repair it, back to stock rom, i still need to root and install CWM to restore data, will this problem still persist? i had read the SE forum from the link given above but i still can't figure out the exact method to handle it.
actually it doesnt cause much problem only im worrying that one day i have to charge after switch off since the battery might drained out ...

from what I know, it must be repaired to fix the charging problem... although I don't want to use that method because like you said, I'll be back to where I've started and had to reinstall them all over again

oh, thank you, i had just downloaded chargemon and push it inside the bin folder, the problem had been solved now
but i knew cwm might not work ... but it's ok to me~
Since I manually updated to ICS, my Xperia U makes me go crazy. It's absolutely non-responsive. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes to launch an app. Or clicking into a text field, I have to wait 10-20 seconds for the keyboard to appear. Other times it works just fine.
I couldn't figure out if it was one of the apps doing it. Their CPU usage seems to be normal.
I usually have around 30 MB of RAM available. Is that too little ?
Also, 3G doesn't work. I changed my APN, but I still can't connect. I'm on O2 UK, contract. Changed APN to mobile.o2.co.uk. Tried to set 'web' PW and login and tried with both empty.
Do a factory reset
Regards
Dr. Sanket
Regarding the No 3g Signal and all, which version of Firmware did you flash and do you have ST25i or ST25a ? If you flashed the wrong baseband, 3G wont work. You need to reflash baseband from a compatible ftf in case the first flash mismatched !
30mb RAM is quite low, highly unusual. Try a factory reset. And if nothing else, try a custom ROM. If you want something based on Stock Sony, try out my rom or TinyXperia Lite by Thunderising Otherwise, CM9 and MIUI threads are also there
Hope it helps
Cheers
Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks
AvRS
I did a factory reset, but 3G still doesn't work.
I have 25i.
I'm not keen on the Sony ROM. I would love to install CM, but I can't unlock the bootloader, so I guess I'll have to cope with it.
Hm... Did you install 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware ? This sounds like a case of Baseband mismatch. Flash the 6.1.1.C.1.0 f/w available here (DONT exclude Baseband) and see if your 3G gets fixed with that And check out FireDroid by Atis. Its a CM9 on Stock kernel. Although dev has stopped for now,it works fine I believe
Let me know if you need any help
Cheers

Yes, I have the 6.1.1.B.1.54 version.
Is there anyone here who had the same issue and fixed it without flashing ?
I'm going to wait until tomorrow and then try the other firmware, but it would be nice if I could fix without needing to reset all my settings and stuff.

Do you have GSM/WCDMA set in Mobile Networks ? and proper 3g apn ? It might be different from the 2g one ? Also, you did get it before the update right ?

I tried all 3 options (WCDMA/GSM/both)
I set up the APN according to what I found on the official o2 uk site (they only mention the APN, which is mobile.o2.co.uk, I left the rest unset/default)
It was working fine before the update.
try ur sim on another phone for the 3g coz maybe ur sim has some problem
Hey dude just contact customer care i also did this and now it's working like charm

Yup, that's what I did. I went to o2 and ask them to take a look at it. It was the APN settings.
The speed issue kinda disappeared. It still gets laggy, but now I have "kill tasks" button, which instantly solves the lags.
Thanks for the replies.
The phone is still awfully slow and it's super annoying. This must be a software issue.
Sometimes just activating the keyboard takes 10 seconds.

I wanted to install it, but in the baseband section my baseband was marked bad.So i didn't install it .Thanks for the help!
Like many others, I've followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190 but have ended-up with a loop.
In my case I cannot find the Samsung ROM for the Canadian version ( I5500MUGJJ7 ) as can be seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958293&postcount=1 I'm not the only one.
End result is I've bricked my phone I think (but hoping NOT).
I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks
Heya,
I'm running Oxygen OS 2.1.3 and a few times a week, my device reboots without any warning. There is no common denominator and can be while reading an sms, during a phonecall or just while lying inactive on a table. The reboot seems to be soft since i don't have to enter the SIM-pin when booted. Also, this happened both before and after i rooted.
Is logcat the best way to determin what's happening? If so, I rarely use logcat and would apretiate if someone could recommend an app for this scenario and what i to look for in the log.
Thanx in advance!
Am i The only one having random reboots?
Got the exact same problem mate, looking for a solution too.

Are u rooted? I think yes because u should have had the ota notification since long. Anyway, go to setting/phone info and get the version! If it is 2.1.3 without the "x" u must update the device to the last build available. If u are stock and not rooted there is no matter indeed. Go to system update and follow the instructions. In the other way, if u are rotted, u must check the various existent topics "how to update" in the general section or q/a section

I'm using the stock version. Did a factory reset and haven't had the issue occur again. Maybe the latest OS version isn't updated now, the last version might've caused the problem.
The fastest and simplest solution to fix OnePlus X random reboots is to turn the WiFi off. If you turn the WiFi off, the phone will not reboot any more.
Still having the problem after cleared cache and reset to factory.
OS is updated.
Any suggestions other than disabling my WiFi?
Thanks
