I managed to get my phone running Freex10, went to install a custom theme and reinstalled xrecovery, but i FORGOT to install busybox again.
Now the phone will not launch xrecovery. When I get to the lock screen all looks good until i try and unlock the phone. Then it comes up with infinite notifications telling me that every process has stopped unexpectedly. The phone will also sit at the lock screen for a minute or so, then it looks like its trying to relaunch the OS. It will do that in an infinte loop. Also, it shows no network connectivity when its in the lock screen state.
The only thing I can do it pull the battery and start all over.
I would be very appreciative if someone could help me recover my phone as I dont know how to fix it without getting usbdebugging going.
don´t worry just restore the last firmware with flashtool if you don´t know how this is the post what you need

When I sleep my Fascinate or it sleeps from non activity it randomly goes into a permanent sleep where it will not respond to anything I do. The shortest amount of time I left it alone was 5 minutes and it still did it, but I've also left it alone for over an hour and had no problem. I don't get any noises or soft key lighting. It is not simply off though because a press or long press or longlonglong press on power does nothing.
The only way I've been able to get back is to Hold Power and Vol buttons or pull battery. When I do this I'm automatically booted into CWM red recovery, then I boot normal and everything is back.
I've copied the tutorial I used to root and Odin the EB01_DXC.tar.md5 package and then I added SC 2.9.2... I did all the right wiping and factory resets and back-ups as instructed in the tutorials.
Here is the Tutorial I used for Root
http://www.fascinateforums.com/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/1421-how-root-your-fascinate-install-froyo.html
Then I used this tutorial for SC 2.9.2 (non Voodoo, yes i got the right zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983395
I've read that Titanium backup users get a similar issue, but I also read that they have soft button lighting whereas I do not. I also see that this is a kind of common Froyo issue but does anyone know of anything I can do? I uninstalled Titanium but it still happens
Here is my Phone Info:
Firmware Version
2.2.1
Baseband version
S:i500.04 V.EB01
Kernel version
2.6.32.9
Build Number
SCH-I500.EB01
Any Ideas?
Find adrenalyne's post on SOD or sleep of death, there is a fix posted there. I would link it but I an on my mobile app.

hi all.
i have a problem on my xperia mini pro.
i dont know whats wrong.
when i lock my phone, and i want to turn it on back, it is turn off and suddenly the S.E logo appears.
seems like rebooting back.
sometimes when i make the screen timeout for 30minutes, it will also turn off by itself and restart back by itself. sometimes it goes off and no reboot back.
i have search on XDA and found that few problems like mine.
i try few solution like take out the battery, uninstall apps which maybe make my phone turn off.
i also reflash my phone to 2.3.3 and also reflash back to 2.3.4. it just goes the same. my warranty have void as i have unlock my bootloader.
i just dont root my phone yet as i think rooting my phone doesnt help this problem.
someone can help me? i really miss my phone like the old days to tweeting and facebooking without any turn off and reboot by its own.

i've done the factory reset before. seems like it does not really help much.
not trying to root yet coz i dont think rooting can solve the problem
Does it make any difference if you start the phone with the charger plugged into it?
...or even without the SIM card or SD card? Any difference at all?

I bought the phone over from bobo. And yes it does make a difference.
This problem does not occur whenever the phone is plugged in. However while running on battery, if I leave it be and once it goes into standby, it would not turn on again.
Seems to me it went into sleep of death.
At the moment, I have no idea how to fix it. But I've found a workaround by keeping the CPU on when the display is off by using wake_lock. However this workaround is a little battery consuming.

bro i have this problem before, what im doing before was playing music on mute for it not to turn off NOT until 0.62 FW came out and the problem was solved, it doesnt turn off on stock 0.62 fw and stock 2.3.4 but the screen when locked automatically turns on and off multiple times, its annoying..really so i decided to unlock my bootloader, flashed rooted 0.62 FW from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161, turning on and off phone and screen solved, flashed its respective ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435, and now my phone is so stable and having no more problem.
i think the only problem i noticed just now is the back button (its not really a button) and the option button's light is turning off and on while screen is on. but thats better than your phone turns on and off or your screen.
i hope this helps.

I've done this too. Flashed the same kernel, and the same ROM as you did. But the problem still prevails in my phone. I still have to keep control of wake_lock to prevent CPU from sleeping while the display is off.
Btw, when I flashed the kernel, under my "About" in the settings, it still says .58 instead of .62.

you mean in the Settings>About Phone> in the build number it should have HYBROM V9 by boof not the kernel name like .58 or .62 if you flashed the kernel and rom correctly.
disable lockscreen
Try to disable your lockscreen in the settings menu. Maybe that helps
My phone have the very same problem.
Any good new?
I've tried the factory restore. Didn't solve the problem.
so....no solutions yet!!??!

hi, i'm facing the same problem last night. have you try to change the battery?
my sony xperia mini pro keeps on restarting
hey...i am having the same problem.. it has jst been 2 days since i upgraded it to ice cream.. n it keeps in restarting.it show screen for 3 second and the lights dims out n restart..i did on it without sim and memory card..still it keeps on restarting..any help please
the galaxy s2 of my officemate is experiencing the said problem, whenever i try to open wifi, it will open and scan for almost 2 minutes and then wifi will turn off. several attempts will lead to FC of wifi and you have to restart the phone so you can try to open wifi again. i also noticed that when i turn the phone off, it will not turn on again unless i press vloume down + home + power button.
Tell your officemate to flash a decent ROM and don't touch the phone if he/she doesn't know what is doing...
I bet he/she has a custom kernel or has touched something it shouldn't be touched...
Have to agree that this sounds like a bad ROM and I would suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and use Odin to revert back to an official ROM which should fix your problem.
Hope this helps
sorry i forgot to mention that the phone is not rooted and just using a stock/official rom
Hello guys, firstly, I wanna say this issue I encountered is pretty anodyne, but anyway, I wanna solve it cause it's annoying.
So, I was using a S2 with CM10.2 installed and I wanted to replace it with the [ZERO]BUG ROM v5.0+Premium Suite to, basically, improve its battery life and other minor issues. So I executed an "unclean" install, cause I directly entered CWM and installed the ROM, without installing the stock 4.1.2 via Odin and then again root the phone and install CWM. So it went ok apparently, but everytime I try to lock the screen, it surely locks, but no lock screen appears when I turn it on. Plus, the phone shuts down when I keep the power button pressed 2 seconds, and no power menu appears on the screen before that.
I thought it was a bad "coordination" between the two ROMs, because of the unclean installation, so I installed stock 4.1.2 via Odin to keep in that ROM cause it's pretty good, but still no lock screen or power menu.
So I wanna know how to solve this, cause I'd like to sell the phone and it has to be perfect for that. I don't care to stay in stock, go for CM or another custom CM/stock-based, I just wanna solve it.
So thanks in advance to all of you who are trying to help me.
