[Q] Charging Problem...need help! - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Why my X10 Mini Pro won't stay off while charging??
It's rooted & JIT enabled, with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware............
Yesterday was fine, but this afternoon I rooted my phone and installed xrecovery then JIT.
Everything was okay [looks okay], but the time I charging my phone [2 hours ago] it won't stay off.
Everytime I turn it off, it always turn back on.....Please someone help me!! It's so annoying.
Should I uninstall xrecovery, JIT and unroot it? Or should re-flash my firmware? [hope not]
PS: I always turn off my u20i while charging.

Problem is modified "chargemon" file, installed with xrecovery.
a few features from oem "chargemon" are missing on it.
There is a solution for (big) X10i, but it must be adapted for mini/mini pro.

Can I just fix it by restore the original chargemon file??

Yes, but you will not be able to use xrecovery if you do that.

you can get both features: xrecovery, and charge batt staying off.
I think I've found a solution at BIG X10 thread, (look for xrecovery_charge_offline).
I'm neither a developer nor an expert user, and I don't know how to write in English, but I am going to try.
I'm using 2.1.1.A.0.6 firm in U20i and you'll need ROOT in your phone.
First of all, make a backup of chargemon files, both, "SE" one and "xrecovery" one.
then, look at SE chargemon file, its a illegible coded file.
rename it as "charger", (without quotes).
copy it at /system/bin
look at xrecovery chargemon file: you'll see many commands separated by TABS.
insert a command calling charger file as following
#!/system/bin/busybox sh
/system/bin/charger
cat /dev/input/event0 > /dev/keycheck&
sleep 3
kill -9 $!
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then
# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
# Umount MTDs
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock1
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock2
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock3
# Mount recovery partition
rm -r /sbin
rm -f etc
tar -xf /system/bin/xrecovery.tar
# Umount /system
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock0
chroot / /init
fi
# Continue booting
exit

Click to collapse
I've just added "/system/bin/charger" line.
Save file as "chargemon", and copy it to /system/bin
Finally, Test it!!
note: if you edit xrec chargemon file with windows notepad, you'll see commands separated by TABS, not in different lines, so be sure there is a TAB space before AND after "/system/bin/charger" text

This fix is adapted (copied really) from xRecovery-charge-offline.zip by zdzihu,
using chargemon from xrec for U20 instead of big X10 one.

Try at your own risk!!
Here, you have original and fixed files.
of course, charger file and se original chargemon are the same file.

Thank you genyt.
I've overwritten my original chargemon file.
Can you please provide us a zipd file with all 4 files needed?
And if this works can you please mention it in the xrecovery-Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426 ?

Thanks a lot.

done.
Please report if it works... with e10, different firmware versions..
TODO: create an update.zip file installable with xrecovery

in chargemon it should be
cat /dev/input/event1
we had this little bug before.
I changed this and it works fine.
Sorry I'm not familiar with making an update.zip
Maybe the next days I have some time to have a look at it
In the meanwhile here are the corrected files:

I think this is not an error, but lets see:
if you take a look to BIG x10 files (link in previous post) you can see it has "event2".
but my original file has "event0".
My phone is a mini pro, will mini be "event1"?
What kind of error have you got?

I'm sorry my internet is so sloooooow today.
I have read somewhere here that ist should be 1 to trigger the keystroke.
And in original thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
in the download it is 1 too.
With 0 no reaction while booting.
With 1 everything all right. (Xperia X10 mini)
... have to go to bed now - good night everybody.

---

verified, x10 mini pro works with "event0".
In conclusion, this method works with x10 mini too, changing event0 to event1.
but using x10 mini version of xrecovery, it comes with event1 "as is".

---

wow! i followed the guide with changing the SE-chargemon to 'charger' and adding the line in xrec chargemon, and it actually solved my dilema with the xrecovery!
thanks a lot!
now i can charge my U20i offline anytime

---

Can anyone post the original SE chargemon file for X10 mini 2.1.1.A.0.6?
Thank you!

---

Sorry I've been busy all day long......
@genyt
TQ for your willingness to help me out.....really appreciate that
So all I have to do now is copy "xrecovery charge fix for u20.zip" file to system/bin??

---

no, you must extract files in zip file, then, copy 2 unpacked files to system/bin.
Only for U20: X10 mini PRO.
if you have a X10 MINI, you must use weissgold files.

from zeroize
Charging off line works for the x10 mini, but when you press the on/off button while charging offlline, It loads the xrecovery menu directly. Is is normal, shouldn't it boot the original menu?
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11583047#post11583047
Should be the same with PRO.
Maybe it helps to move the call to charger to the end in chargemon.
I tried it, but I didn' got it working.
