[Help]Camera not available - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

My Xperia Neo V is rooted.
I tried unlocking the bootloader...not sure if it is unlocked or not.(How can i check that).
After (say) 1 week , i opened up my camera and it said "Camera not available".
Even 3D Sweep Panorama ain't working.
I tried clearing up the defaults in settings>applications>manage>com.***********.camera .. gave no result.
Help.
And another thing , i also tried to flash a ROM which is working in Xperia Neo.(Don't remember but i guess it's CM7)
I think , the problem occurred because the camera resolution of Neo and Neo V is different or also the firmware is different.I didn't knew that this would cause such a problem.
Did a Factory Data Reset , still no help.
Suggestions .. ?
Emergency.. it's been only a month i got my Neo V.

Flash it with neo v rom.
Or relock bootloader and update with seus or pc companion.

Could'nt find a Neo V Rom.
Already Updated with SE PC Companion (2.3.4 - The latest build)
Also tried repairing it with SE PC Companion but it says "Server Overloaded" *blah blah blah*.
And is it possible to relock bootloader even if i unlocked it via unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com...i meant to say officially?

If you unlocket BT you cant recive updates and cant use companion (wont work).
Also you cant flash custom rom without have unlocked bt.
If you unlock it over that site you cant relock it. I don't know what you had do.

Task killer?
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk

as stated above try using any other camera applications available in the market.....
if they work then it is just a minor software glitch(we can think atleast camera libraries are available)
try any of these https://market.android.com/search?q=camera&so=1&c=apps
install the apk mentioned in this thread and you can see if your bootloader is locked or unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840466

Will try the task killer.
I tried using camera360 but it says...turn on hardware mode then try or it just gives another option to close the app.
I relocked my bootloader via rtf file.
(unlocked it through Sony's site)

That is kinda good news right,listen when installing apps you can install one by one(install one and check camera sound) and check which causes this problem and remove it

Backup with titanium and simply restore it after youve installed new rom.
Dont forget to move your titanium backup folder on sd card to somewhere ex, pc before you format your sd card.

Sent from my MT15i using XDA
is there any official 2.3.3 roms for Neo V ? I thought Neo V was the first SE phone that came out with stock 2.3.4.If you are talking about Neo beware before downgrading cos downgrading to 2.3.3 can mess up your fuel gauge chip and battery info get messed up
If you are talking about downgrading to 0.42 fw in 2.3.4 then read this Flashtool guide and use 0.42 ftf,you can find ftf file in Neo V dev section stickied threads
Exactly ! There are no 3.3.3 stock neo ROMS
Flash .42 from Wotan and you are good to go
In wotan says no more credit and i cannot use it :S

Hi again,
if you don´t already got ADB Drivers, get this:
wotanserver.com/downloads/USBFlashDriver.exe
And here´s the download link for the Wotan Client :
wotanserver.com/downloads/WotanClient.exe
Sorry for plain Text links,
atm i´m not allowed to post outside XDA Links =(
Just run it, connect your phone as shown and select the Firmware you want
Btw, i had strange problems flashing my phone with flashtool using my Desktop PC,
Flashtool did it´s work only on my Laptop (no idea why).
But Wotanclient worked on my PC too.
Hope this helps

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.

Fixing xLoud on Real ICS

I have a WT19a LWW with locked bootloader and today I flashed to Real ICS r5.2. Everything works fine except that when I turn on xLoud nothing changes, the sound stays low.
I tried to look for a solution so I installed a new walkman version that someone suggested it might work on this thread but turned my phone into a brick. So I flashed again thinking that maybe this time it would work if I did a clean install but the problem persists.
I don't know what to do anymore, so I hope you can help me!​
i dont understand, how it can brick your sk17i? i was once use real ics 5.2 and i has flash the xloud fix(the files you mention above) but it did not brick my phone.. so far xloud is fix.. but the reason i back to stock rom is i got so many fc..

Do you think 5.1 is stable enough to flash again or should I just get Stock ICS or GB? ( Is really tedious to flash real Ics with locked bootloader)

That's why you need to test it first, I can't cofirm it because I have Xperia Mini Pro...but I think it won't give you any problem
P.S. In the 5.1 Real ICS,there will be a bug where the USB debug mode notification won't come out even you ticked the enable USB debug,to fix this,you need to edit some line in build.prop and change the number 0 into 1 at the USB debug mode line...

I'll try with 5.1 when I get some time. Probably tomorrow and I hope I won't brick it again. Could you explain a bit further on what file I have to edit? Thank you.

[Q] Not going to Flashmode

Hi guys.
My ST18i is not going to Flashmode.
I recently had the problem that my Ray wasn't detecting USB but then I gave it to Service and they flashed stock GB.
I can get to fastboot only by adb and not by buttons. Flashmode has no adb command so I can't get in.
Bootloader is unlocked. My volume keys are not faulty since they work in Android.
Since I am already posting here. I have to tell you after getting my phone from service, front camera is entirely black and cannot take photos.
Please help!
