So my touchscreen didnt want to work anymore yesterday.
I restarted my phone several times and it didnt work.
I then went into xrecovery and clicked 'fix permissions'
Then more stuff didnt want to work anymore
I reinstalled the update.zip file, did a factory reset etc
And now my phone is stuck at the boot with 'Sony Ericsson'
I had minicm6 v6 on my phone (u20i)
I tried reinstalling a backed up zip, but still nothing.
What now?
If you made a backup you should try to restore that.

Edit: Got my phone working, but now when I download something from the market, the phone restarts when it installs ?
Have you figured out the reason why it keeps restarting? If not I would try to reflash the rom.
Keep us updated.

Ok I did another factory reset and cleared dalvik cache.
Everything is working good now
Thanks
No problem that's is what this community is here for

Soooo now that everything is working fine again, would anyone like to recommend me a new ROM to install? Some CM7 mod/rom maybe?
Which ones are the best?
(I know there is a list with all of the roms available for my phone, just thought I'd ask)
Im not sure which roms are available for your phone but cm7 is always a good choice.

I ended up in installing CyanoCream Sandwich v2.0
Looking good so far

Check this one Its the best one and quite fast then other ROMS

I had Stornmix V2 installed for a couple of weeks and it's fast and stable...I really like it.
The only problem I noticed is that when I'm using the video camera, the phone just freezes and I need to remove the battery to make it work again.
The problem with that one is the requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of the nAa kernel
I dont know if I have those things on my phone.
And Im not too sure on how to put it on, if i have too
Update:
CyanoCream Sandwich is a bit slow to be honest. I think I will be looking for a new one to install
You will learn little by little by searching through the forums. Unlocking takes some time and some patience.
If you only follow the instructions step by step then you will get an unlocked bootloader and you can install any kernel. dont worry, you will get it soon.
my regards and good luck for that.

hello every one. i recently updated my xperia x10 to 2.2. Now I can't get to the xrecovery screen and i keep getting force close windows "The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" .... how do i fix this T-T someone please helpme 死ぬ｡゜（ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)゜｡ｳｧｧｧﾝ
Forgot about the new rule
you require more posts to post in the rom section
however i recomend you read forums as opposed to flooding it with questions
i read the forms couldn't find the problem so i posted a question thanks yo...... and i have no help heh
I just started having the same issue.
The thread for freex10 now says in bold red letters that installing busybox + xrecovery would do this. I restored busybox using titanium backup, and this started after I rebooted.
I dont think i installed busy box and xrecovery. I think I deleted the FREE X10 BETA3 folder and gapps_1901_FreeX10.zip folder from my sd card??? I dont remember installing them ;(
Your best bet is going back to 2.1 and then flashing to beta 3 again. Remember this is a beta so its gonna have bugs and its not 100 percent stable yet.

Okay. How do you go back to 2.1 and flashing beta 3?

Use the flash tool.
I flashed my phone to 2.1 then reboot. It still boot as Freex10. It never went back to 2.1
You can only flash roms in ftf file format using flashtool. Also, when I had this problem, flashtool had trouble recognizing the phone as being in flash mode. I just kept repeating it till it finally recognized flash mode and flashed a stock SE 2.1
Then I installed xrecovery and flashed freeX10 beta3, reboot, flashed g-apps & fx10 theme. Deleted xrecovery/busybox from my titanium backup, and restored all my apps and data. Everything's been working as it should again, shut down and rebooted a few times w/o issue.
Thank you. It fixed my phone.
No problem, despite me cursing this phone when it bricked. Once i got everything working again, gotta admit, its still worth it to run the risks of using this beta, its just too much better than the alternative.
This z guy... why doesn't he have a job at SE? I'd just wished he got camera working 100%. SE really needs to offer a stock android experience, it'd save them money on software development, and win them more power user fans imo.

I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha)
After all this, everything was working fine--including wifi. But somewhere along the lines, maybe 15 minutes after I complete all these steps, out of the blue my wifi won't connect. It just says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.
So I got pissed and went on a wiping/reflashing spree. Got everything reset. The wifi was working great again. Then randomly, it just stopped working again.
Question:
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?!
I'm dying here. Just as a side note in case you need this information, I think I'm going to flash to the 2.3.4 Wet Dream so I can root my device. Also, I don't mind going back to stock. If that's what fixes, it then I'll be more than happy to go stock. I plan on running webtop2sd as well.
Thanks in advance.

Benjat, thanks for the reply.
My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".
I set my wifi sleep policy to Never.
Still have the same problem.
My understanding was that WD was already rooted, but Busybox wasn't installing so I ran Root Check Basic from the Market and it said my device did not have root access

Reboot and still no dice.
Ahhhh! So frustrating!
I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

nvm.. maybe do full wipe again..
what ver of WD u using? with what addon? im using WD 1.4.3 full
I've already done a cache/date wipes to no avail.
I'm using 1.4.4 lite. I'm thinking of flashing the 2.3.4 based WD though (is that 1.4.3?).
I could flash something else too, I guess. I really need webtop (with xfce mod) and I heard Wet Dream works well with it.
If this really is a software problem and it is the ROM's fault, then does anyone have a webtop compatible ROM recommendation?

i cant tell if its problem with rom or what.. 1.4.3 is 2.3.6 base. and yes webtop work well with it.
here's normaly what i do..
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash rom
reboot to fastboot and do fastboot-w & then fastboot reboot.
let it boot for 1st time (until stable/full load) i left it around 10 mins
then reboot back to CMW to flash addon. usually i flash 1 then boot.. continues untill flash all.. maybe a bit fussy step.. but i prefer all loaded before flashing another
*i never tried webtop2sd yet.. still dont buy bigger mem card coz funding for lapdock
** maybe can try this one to make it clean wipe.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522&highlight=fastboot+-w
Yeah I realized too late that everything cost me way more than I had originally intended to spend. SD cards have come down in price but still pretty pricey for a 32 GB card.
And thank you for the link. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. It's 1:00 AM here in Seattle!
Hey Mankey,
Have you tested different Wifi networks to ensure that the issue is not with the phone or the ROM at all?
Also, check if someone else on Wet Dream thread had WiFi issues, if this happened with someone else, then they should have fix for sure!
Usually I do what bejnat mentioned and usually works.
Also, about the root, try to follow a root process again. It happened with me before, then I had to install a .zip file through Recovery mode to have root access again.
Hope this helps!
wouldn't just flashing the radio or a newer radio maybe fix his issue??
Yeah it doesn't work with other networks either. And as for root I don't think there's a direct way to root 2.3.6 yet.
Sk8trix, I think I'll try that after I flash back to stock 2.3.4. I've tried just about everything but the radio. Kernels don't fix it.
I'll post an update in a couple days. I really want to get this fixed.
I had the same problem with my dark side when I 1st got it and to fix it I flashed another ROM ,loaded it then flashed back ,cleaned delvik cache and flashed gapps then rebooted and 1st boot fixed my problem was using 2.3.6 with webtop2sd+nebtop app hope this helps you

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100, which is Rooted, and is Currently Running "Pure ICS v7.2" and kernel "Siyah v3"
just after i rooted my phone about 4 months ago, i stuffed my phone up a bit, and i had to reflash a new firmware to get it to work again, but ever since then, my phone has always been really sluggish and slow, and lots of apps keep force closing. i have tried heaps of different roms including: Pure ics v7.2, Checkrom v38, stock XXLPH, and a few others. but they are all the same. i have also tried the kernels: Stock Sammy kernel, Chainfire, And siyah v3 and v2, but nothing has worked, i tried restoreing a CWM back up of my original rom (the one that was on my phone when i got it) but it did not work properly, they were all the same - Slow and sluggish, and apps force close.
i was wondering if anyone knew what i could do to get my phone working again. because when i first rooted my phone, it never force closed and frooze or anything, it just worked perfectly, it only started not working properly after i flashed a status bar mod, and the phone got in to a boot loop, but i fixed that, but it still does not work properly
i have read what other people have said about the kernels and roms i have used, and they all said that it worked great, and that they got not force closes, but i keep getting them.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Cheers Corey

What is the status of your Photon currently? Assuming it is rooted and unlocked, running what rom? Please provide info on what rom you are on now, which one you flashed from, and what process you used to get where you are. The more info provided the easier it will be to help.
Well lets see, currently I am back on stock, but here is what I did. I rooted, unlocked, installed CWM 5.0.2.7 I also flashed jokers recoveryv3 ( I follow QB's videos) So then I installed the gummy rom using this process. Format system, format data, format cache, wipe cache then dalvik cache. flash rom, flash rom again ( now I did not reboot into recovery after I flashed the rom the first time) I just went straight to install rom again. flash gapps, fix permissions. Reboot up and good loving it all. Waited 15 min then rebooted again. That's it. So I am at a loss. Thanks for help if you need any other info please let me know.
Oh I am on 2.3.4 with 198_7 also
In your system settings did you have "home only" or "automatic" selected for your roaming settings? For a lot of these roms, "automatic" is forced roam. And then if you didn't have roaming data enabled, that would explain why you were constantly roaming with no data.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Thanks so much .
I did have automatic checked but I did have roaming data enabled also. I flipped it around too with home only. I am truly beginning to think my phone is just plain "off " who knows. It's a shame though, I mean not that stock is bad on this phone but the custom roms are so much better imo. This is the first phone I have ever had a problem with. I have been flashing phones for years. Think I started with a HTC Mogul. That was a solid phone LOL
Does CM7 work for you? If it does then I reckon flashing that and setting it up, then instead of doing a full wipe keep your data and flash CM9 based rom over it, fix permissions and take it from there.
I have not tried CM7 but I can, sure can't hurt to try at this point. Thanks, I will give that a try tomorrow.
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#*? Sometimes flashing changes the radio in that menu. Be careful though, changing something can really Bork your phone. It should be on cdma prl I think
sent from my CM7 MoPho
Deb, my photon has never been kind to me with the 'flash twice' method. It always results in no data. Try cm9 again, but this time wipe cache, system, data, and dalvik, install version 3.1 of cm9, boot into it, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalv, then install the latest cm9 version. Always works for me. Good luck
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Morning all, your all are great. Okay so I am ready to start again. I'm at stock right now so I need to get her all set up again. (Yes my phone is a she) Acvice, I am going to try your method first will let you know in a bit.
Looks like joker's site may be down so I need to try and find the 2 cm9 roms
I have this rom saved already on my computer
beta-0.6.9.1-cm-9.0.0-RC0-sunfire-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
Wonder if I should try that one or just wait
After I install CWM 5.2.0.7 do I also need to flash joker's v3 recovery?

Glad someone provided you with that 3.1 link. Looking forward to see if it works out for ya.
By the way, you will know it worked if when you boot up in 3.1 you have working data. Flashing the newer version after that will essentially just update everything.
Deb, I take it the flash of 0.3.1 didn't work? Did you have data and then lose it when you flashed 0.6.9.3? What were your exact steps. I just rooted/unlocked and flashed my f-in-law's new photon and it worked just fine. Lemme know what you did and maybe I can help more
sent from my CM7 MoPho
Thanks bullfrog that's nice of you but honestly I'm good now As you know.
I didn't even try to install 0.3.1. I kept thinking about it, seeing I had no luck with 2 others previously so I decided to go the MIUI route and I'm a happy camper with that one. I am a flashaholic for sure, as we all are here. I am thinking though, I am gonna just be happy with where I am at for now. Of course I will most likely decide to give another rom a try at some point.
Of course I am already eyeing a few Samsung Epic touch's on ebay. I hear that one can be a brick just waiting to happen....weeeee I am having way too much fun
I'm glad you made it to MIUI. if you ever want to try cm9 or and of the similar ones (aokp, gummy, paranoid) I would suggest flashing that 0.3.1 first, then updating to the latest cm9, then flashing the variant

Hey everyone. I have a friend who has been attempting to root and install roms on his i777 device for a while now and every time it seems like something else gets screwy. I have an HTC so I know little about the process of working on his Samsung device, I thought it would be about the same but it seems way more complicated... Anyway I think all his problems started with a bad ROM he installed unknowingly when he first attempted to root his phone. And since then he has went to ICS then back to Gingerbread and it keeps getting more crazy. He has tried to do a factory reset on it but it fails half way through now so it wont even let him pull that off.
So my two questions are:
1) What is the best way to get this phone completely cleared up?
2) And what is a good/dependable Gingerbread ROM for this device?
I did a bit of digging on ROMs and found several in the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII i777 Index" thread. But since I dont have this device I cant try any of them out for him, and like I said early I know little on Samsung devices.
Thanks for any help!

1) Full wipe in CWM.
2) No one uses Gingerbread ROMS anymore (for the most part). As a matter of a fact we'll be getting Jellybean soon! Stick to an ICS rom, I recommend either AOKP or CM9.
EDIT: If he wants more of a stock feel, try out Mystics Glory.
Ok. Number one, if he wiped with the stock ics kernel installed, there's a chance he messed up his phone. The stock ics kernel had a severe bug in it. Number two, after he's no longer in ics stock kernel , do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, and run kernel cleaning script. Thirdly, there are a number of roms out there. Tell him to try them and see which one fits.

I thought about doing all the wipes as well. I wasnt sure if they would work or not though because he cant backup and the factory restore isnt working. I told him to try it through CWM and recovery apparently neither are working well.
And he doesnt want ICS anymore because they changed how the phone connects with tether. With Gingerbread he just had to freeze Tethering Manager to get it to work in ICS Tethering Manager doesnt exist anymore so the same process doesnt work.
However Im sure he would like an ICS ROM if it unlocked tethering for him. The illuminati ROM on my Vivid unlocked the tethering for me, is there something similar for the i777?

In AOKP you can tether with no issues(it also unlocks it). As far as the other stuff, if he did a full wipe like the post above said, with stock recovery. His phone may be messed up
Alright thanks for the help. I'll see if we can get anywhere this afternoon with AOKP. I'll be back after we see where that gets us! lol
