[Q] [sk17i] problems with proximity sensor, software and other! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello, i got my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro few days ago. Its prototype version!
Here some info about my phone:
Model number: sk17i
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf , [email protected] #1
Built number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
..
So my problems is folowing, and I think its about proximity sensor... When some1 is calling me, and i answer the display went black, even if it's not close to my ear or anything. My call is working fine, and when call is over I cant get my display back, its black and any button i press its still black.. sometimes the sliding my QWERTY helps and display restores... but most of the times that wont help.
So, my question is how to fix it, is there any solution to disable proximity sensor, or something..
I also checked SE service menu by typing *#*#7378423#*#*, there in proximity sensor menu, it's is ON , all the time!!
I dont know what to do, my phone is "brown", prototype ,and i cant fix it with Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
And so my boot loader cant be unlocked, in SE service menu is Rooting status: Unknown
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

I was surfing and browsing this forum, unable to find a solution for this problem... i am fairly new to android OS , and flashing, rooting, booting phones.
Maybe its not hardware problem with sensor, maybe it is software.. but i dont know how can i replace software for my phone, i am afraid not to screw something up and break my phone... so plz some1 help me, plzzz, i love this phone, but this problem is annoying!
Thank you very much!

when i try to repair, i get the message:

Maybe...
Maybe the reason why you can't update the phone is because its CDA code is not recognized (or recognized as a prototype, so the programs refuse).
You might try switching the CDA codes in your /system/build.prop to another code (if you're QWERTY, try 1244-7088 or ask someone from the same region as yours to post their build.prop and just copy it).
This should enable you to flash using SEUS.

Maybe you should try to beg any old SK17i build.prop from someone and stick it in there? It might really work... (i'd offer you mine but it's for an AZERTY phone, probably useless to you)
As far as I understand, the build.prop file is how SE decide what type/region/... of phone you have, at least when you try to update/restore with SEUS.

i cant access /system/build.prop like I said, only folder in my system folder is Temp..

Root first using doomlord's script, and when you're rooted and there's no build.prop file in the system folder, just drop one in there, as I said. There's a good chance that this will allow you to flash a normal firmware and persuade SE's software to treat your phone like a normal retail phone.
Oh and build.prop is a file, not a folder. Just a normal text file

hej, i did root with doomslord's script, everything went fine, my phone restarts... but its not rooted :/ , and i cant root it with flashtool too............... i am getting mad.. realy mad
i could root with 4.0.2.A.0.42 , but yesterday I upgraded it to 4.0.2.A.0.62 , and now i cant :/

If you were able to upgrade, forget about my solution as being able to upgrade is all that would have netted you.
And no, there's no known way to root .62!

but my proximity sensor still do not work corectly :/

Help! Bricked my x10 Mini Pro

I managed to root my mini pro. However, I tried to debrand it and the phone stopped functioning. The touchscreen will not respond (thus, it is stuck on the "Select language" page. I've noticed that the 2 big files in the Sony Update Service that was supposed to replaced, disappeared. Leading me to conclude that those files are deleted from the mini pro.
However, PC companion, PC suite does not seem to be able to fix/recognize the phone. I've spent over 4hrs searching and attempting to fix this to no avail. Please help.
Long shot here mate, but worth a try..
Hold Home key and the power key from a cold restart. See if it resets to default again..
Good luck I feel your pain!

Try with "Update Service":you can download it from sony website...
Update Service will help, I also rooted my X10mini, after that I removed some apps and after reboot the device was frozen on bootanimation with no respond. I was recomended to use Update Service and it worked. It "reinstalled" whole device SW.
I had the same problem et I tried to solve it with SEUS but this software told me that my version is the last one and dont want to repare or install another one one my mini..(I can't see any button "repare" !)
Anyone have an idea ?
sorry for my poor english
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I managed to fix it using the Davinciteam software.
Well I guess that your solution is not free so if somebody found anything whcih could be usefull to me or anybody who can fall on this problem please tell us

Without phone connected:
Open PC-Companion and press Start under Support zone. Then press start under Update (My version is Swedish so i am just guessing what yours might be.) You will get a small box where the options are Connect and Repair.
Try that.
No, I have an error like "sorry, we cant update your phone cant be recognized"
I already tried with software like omnius, seus, pc compagnon, sin reconstruction, an utility of root by Mogway where there is an button to repare some errors. Davinci software doesn't support x10 in the free version.
I'll go on to find a solution, tks for your help

But IS there a repairbutton ? I am wondering because otherwise you might not have the latest version of PC-Companion or something? Also , when doing repair i don't think it even checks what your phone is. You have to select it from a menu that pops up.
Yes, there is a button and i tried all the software in there last version.
When I press the button "repair", I see that the program load "update prtocol" or something like that (update service ?), then It's start the update and 2sec after an error appear in a box "We can't access to mobile phone" or smthg like that.
Apparently, no communication can be done in PC compagnon.
My drivers are ok, seus apparently recognize my phone (if he told me that I have the last version and tell me that he see my phone)
A little weird huh
Under pc compagnon there is a repare button yes.
The error appear to the point "update motor boot" (démarrage du moteur de mise à jour in french)
I dont find solution yet

I also have some problem like you.. Can you give the explanation and tools (Davinciteam software) to fix it.. 'Cause i hopeless to fix it until i read this.
Use the latest Omnius, it supports x10 mini and mini pro flashing
oh sh... I paid to fix it and now there is a free solution, the world is really nasty
Well, if anyone can't fix it with Omnius, I can give some advice for DaVinci, but I really hope that I'll be the last one to use this soft (despite his efficacity).
I hope you unterstood me
what do u use to convert your firmware to work with omnius??
I have the same problem, stuck on "Sony Ericsson" screen at startup. I tried SEUS and PC Companion to no avail. How can I get Omnius, i cant seem to download it anywhere.

[Q] X10a not getting upgraded to 2.1 despite every effort

Hello there,
Ok this is frustrating me to no end. Months and months of freaking wait and yet i cant get the update.
I have an Debranded X10a (bought in Canada) that I am running on O2 UK network. I confirmed that X10a 2.1 update is available, O2 uk has the update out as well. The SI number of kit 1232-4507 is in the list (http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/) So theoratically I should be able to get it without a hitch.. right ?? NO !!! I have been trying on PC Companion and SEUS for the update but every time i get the same darn message "Your software is update" but when i check its always 1.6.
What is it in this sane universe that i am doing wrong that I am not able to update my Xperia X10. O2 update is available, X10a SI Kit number is on the list, SEUS and PC Companion tells me that 1.6 is the latest..i tried installig/uninstalling.. and deleting the DB.. but nothing
is it not possible to get the 2.1 update in an installable file that we can execute after downloading rather then trying to get it on the whim of SE or the career. its kinda frustrating that a simple OTA process is making me cry like a lil kid
Can any one help me ?
Please help
Im not sure what 1232-4507 is, but if that is a x10i firmware, and you have it on a x10a, it probably wouldn't allow you to update via SEUS.
If thats the case, a couple solutions here.
Change region code to the one in Canada, and update via SEUS.
OR
You could just use the flasher located in the android dev section and flash it to whatever you want without using SEUS.
Hope that helps.

You did use CDA and not SI when you de-branded?
Try reading out "Software Info" 1st 9 digits of Customization Version shows your CDA. Should be 1233-6929 for Rogers or 1234-4820 for World Generic.
To access Hidden Menu in 1.6 home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back
If that shows one of the above, suggest flash, or ignore above and just flash.

Oh crap, so it just got weired
So In model info it says: X10a and Country as ARGENTINA
in the Software info the numbers are 1237-1014 R7A
I am surprised cz i just did a complete install of the os from SEUS. it SHOULD have not got the Argentina version..
So thats that.. i m not on a world generic..
Also, tried doing flash from the other thread. But when i booth the phone in Flash mode, it will give me message "searching for xperia" and will go on to boot the phone normally... Tried installing the flash driver uploaded by Binary but no joy there as well..
i am quite stumped..

You have two choices. One is to search the forum for changing your FW signature. There is a whole thread about this. Another choice is to fight with the invisibility of your phone for the flashing software. I think, this is the driver's issue. In Bin4ry's post about the last version of his flasher check the "Problems" part. For more detailed things search my posts - I had similar problems and actually this part was from my last messages. I just used virgin clean computer (in SE terms virgin clean, it is pretty old one) that guarantied me from any driver's conflicts. And try to use old, non-GUI version. Some people had problem with it. One of the last post told that for non-GUI version you just need to reconnect your phone when it began to search for it. In flash mode, of course.
Can you point me to the thread... Firmware Signature change thread is no where to be found, I have been trying all sort of searches
Sorry for being such a Noob on this !!!
Re: Driver issues, I have tried a couple of things, Tried installing the driver, moved to another computer.. pretty much same result "searching for xperia"
Didnt use the Non GUI.. wasnt sure how to go about it... i got macs every where not windows PC.. which is a bit of issue

Try this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711 only good on a PC.
Driver issues can be a bear. Did you run PC Companion?

I have no idea what should you do at mac... But actually Android is from the same family, as mac os - bot are posixes. Android is linux, mac os is BSD. Possible, it is easier to try to find way in linux/unix forums.
In case of windows stuff, you need specifically flashing drivers for the purpose you have problems now. You need to install only flashing drivers. You can find them in Bin4ry posts. There he included a link to non-GUI flasher as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
If you have flashing drivers problem you won't able to use SEUS too - it will try to find your X10 too and will fail. I used another computer just to try clean Windows install - without any conflicting drivers and found right one (too old to know anything about this new stuff like PC Companion, SEUS etc). I can not guarantee the success, but in my case it worked.
So i finally cracked it..
For me, the issue was in the GUI version, i took a virgin computer, went with GUI.. same"searching for xperia" thing ..
i went with NON GUI... and voila.... it worked on first attempt.. had my phone humming to World Generic in next 20 minutes..
So yeah.. for some reason.. the GUI version didnt work for me on 3 different pcs.... also, used MAC OX10.6 with Parallel 6 to run the batch file.. not sure if it had to do somehting with the fix..
anyways.. to my next hurdle.. got all working.. but ..
So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?

[Q] A little big problem

Im stucked after the first step in root process. So i've succesfully completed the first step and after that my x10a started with the emergency call screen. So i can't turn on debugging mode for the next step because i can't acces the menu. And with seus it says that i have the latest software installed. With pc companion it can't do it because i can't drag the bar. With flashtool I can't do it because i must turn on debugging. So how can i turn on debugging or get rid of the emergency call window?
Thank you.

If I good remember in SEUS or PcCompanion should be option like Repair or something familiar. Search and try it.

Sometimes they won't show it for some phones.
@OP, I'm afraid you have to start from scratch! Flash the latest FW, and you're good to go(recommended GB 2.3.3 pre-rooted).
done
Ive rooted it with wolfs but its still locked on AT&T. Or it has nothing to do with this???
If you have rooted phone than you have rooted phone - AT&T (<- operator, Am I right?) have nothing with this - root is not simunlock.
And is it possible to unlock it with software or do i have to purchase the code?
Thank you

[Q] X10 Mini Firmware

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.
Hello there!!! I had the same problem just yesterday and I was about to get crazy in order to solve it...and then I found this post which was definately useful!!!!

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)

It can't find my phone !
This happened to me in february with my Xperia X8. The weird thing is I totally killed my phone trying to opening the bootloader, but you say your Ray is dead 'cause you installed Pureness and flashed a baseband; I'm not an expert but I think flashing the baseband messed with the bootloader, of course, if I'm wrong please someone correct me.
I tried to revive my X8 with all methods I found around the web, with no results. The only advice I can give is trying to find a person with Medusa Box and see if he can bring your Ray back to life, but this may be quite hard.
Or... Sending to SONY support, maybe they could fix it, as you didn't touch the bootloader, but if it was already unlocked, then they wouldn't do anything for you.
send it to sony support, if you still have warranty but unlocked bootloader, then they will charge some fees, if you still have warranty and didnt unlocked bootloader, maybe they'll fix it for free, but if you dont have warranty chances are they wont fix it for you.

did you try and fix with seus/sus.....if it doesn't won't to work try these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805&highlight=unbrick
I think if u flash baseband, the phone should be back to factory reset...
I have flashed via flashtool new baseband on stock rom ics, from .72 to .77
After reboot,all of my apps have gone..just like we buy a new phone...
But i dont know in pureness (custom rom)... is that baseband made the phone to factory reset or not...
I think u should inject ur phone with JTAG.. This somekind of stuff that sony nor samsung have at the customer service...
It used to hardbricked phone

how did you get to this mode?
This mode basically is under qualcomm usb download mode. I'm not sure but you can try to search under htc forum where got lot of powerful dev for this prob. I think you have to install like qualcomm usb driver in order for the phone to be properly detected by the computer. Then you need some kind of qualcomm program in order to use the phone with? probably qms or something? try google for "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
I had the same situation. nothing will help here. flash memory is dead. so in my case I flashed ics then stock rom and it rebooted and same symptoms . so the only way out was to buy broken xperia ray on ebay and change phone's "motherboard"
