Afer a looong wait, upgraded my XMP to official ICS yesterday and rooted in using the method posted by puppet13th HERE.
The problem is that the device enters a bootloop when i connect it to the charger before booting the device. Ideally a screen with a Battery icon should have appeared after the SONY kernel logo. But my device restarts after the kernel logo every time. Then I disconnect the charger, switch the phone on and then connect the charger, everything works fine.I think this might be because of the rooting method that we use for ICS as of now. Any suggestion on solving this problem will be appreciated.
Also I would like to mention some of the other bugs that I noticed in ICS.
1) Contacts app has a bug. When I try to add contacts to groups, searching by name, the contacts keeps appearing and disappearing (kind of flickering), also the letters that I type in the search box gets cleared all by itself.
2)Battery icon and low level notification has some bugs. I got the first notification for battery low (below 15%), and the next minute I see, my phone has switched off. When I turn it on I see the empty battery logo in red colour with red glow. Using Battery calibration may solv this problem, because while rooting by puppet13th method we don't do a factory reset. So the ROM is upgraded without erasing user data.

/data/local.prop has been deleted. Device is rooted. I will check again after doing a factory reset if the device enters a bootloop or not while charging when the phone is off...
Thanks for the rooting tutorial for ICS

i had the same problem after rooting my xperia mini pro on ice cream sandwich but now it works fine...
Just extract charger.zip and copy the charger file [In the attachments] to your phone's system\bin and replace the charger file . YOU can use x-plore or root explorer..

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.

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.

Hi,
Are You experiencing bootloop [on-off] every time when you plug-in your phone to the charge when it is switched-off... ??
This problem may have occurred after rooting your Mini Pro on Ice Cream Sandwich ?
Solution to this problem :
[1] Download and extract the Charger.zip file in the attachments.
[2] Copy the extracted charger file to your phone SD card.
[3] Use X-Plore or Root explorer to copy the charger file on SD card to system\bin\ [Just Replace It] on phone memory.
[4] Done ! No Need to reboot..
This Method has been tested on my Xperia Mini Pro and its working !!

What? Rooting will not cause that I suppose. It might be CWM which is disabling offline charging. That is possible. I will test soon and report back.
Edit:
Okay. I just now checked. It's true. Offline Charging is not working with ICS when CWM is installed at /system as in nAa's method. Will ask some more users to test.
Thanks,
Rick

I root my Sony Live With Walkman phone, when I received ICS update. That mean two or one months ago. So for no issue. Today I installed CWM recovery using SE Extreme Tweak toolkit. After that I wipe battery stats. Now I face this issue. I think its CWM issue, not rooting.
Yes, this method fix it. Thanks friend.

If you are on stock ICS kernel, just install cwm from xparts. It works fine for me on lww ICS rooted and ofcourse offline charging is working fine. And nAl's recovery is also working fine with working offline charging. Maybe the problem is the custom kernel you flashed !!

LwW doesn't charge
I installed cwm on my LwW by the xparts app. And it worked. I used the phone for like one hour, and the battery was about 50%. I puted it on charger for a whole night, the phone was on. But it turned off somehow, and now my battery is completely drained. I try to put the charger and turn it on, but when gets to homescreen, it turn off. Without the charger, the led blinks red and doesn't turn on. What should I try?
-Edit
I tried to charge the battery with an universal charger, and it is now with 55%, and I copied the file to the directory, and now it appears to be charging while phone is off, but not increase the percentage. And when its on, the thunder under the battery is there, but the led isnt orange, nor the system shows that's charging. Do you know what it could be?

I had the same problem when I used X10S, unwanted reboots as WLOD (White Light Of Death). Typically, this occurs when you change the CPU frequency or an process/app is malfunctioning. I had that problem when I tried to open a large app - especially Settings.
Anyway, here's the solution: after flashing the ROM - flash over the latest Ferakernel (V3.6) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34222065&postcount=5378 After that, don't forget to install the libs and modules provided before rebooting... and clear cache and dalvik cache.
I hope this helps you. For me - it did the trick. :cyclops:
it's working! thank you
HI ALL,
i have been facing a problem for last two days. I updated my Xperia P to JB using pc companion. It was working fine. Suddenly there was an issue in the morning the day before yesterday. It suudenly started to Reboot automatically.
First the logo of sony and xperia comes and dissolves. Then the default loading wave of xperia appears but instead of going to the lock/home screen it starts the booting process again and this process repeats.
I switched off my phone using lockkey+volume up. i tried to update/repair my phone using PC copanion and Sony Update service. Both case the latest software is downloaded and installed. But after installation when i try to switch on, it goes to the menu screen normally and asks me to select time format, language etc... but when it asks me to search for Wi-Fi networks if i touch on 'search for available networks' it falls in the same reboot loop again & the Home screen never comes..
afterwards, i skipped that step of WIFI and now it works fine.. but the problem is when i hit the WIFI it falls in the same loop. Now i am in a fix ... i dont know how to solve this and without WIFI there is just no use of this phone
the device was not rooted nor flashed before
What should i do? Try to flash my ROM?
PLZZ HELP ..THANKS IN ADVANCE

It's a long shot but have you tried to reboot your router?
Since it worked for a while, and you repaired the phone and it still exists, I am guessing it's not a problem that related only to the firmware.
Could be hardware problem.

my sister xperia P got reboot loop too.

what should i do now ?
Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.
