Dear all,
today I have suddenly problems with my xperia mini.
The problems I had:
- On the bottom part of home screen when I shift from left to right usually the phone gets unlocked.
- Now I try to unlock the phone.
- But it is only possible to pull the unlock symbol to the half part of the screen.
That means it is not possible to unlock the phone.
I remove the battery and switch on the phone.
However the same thing happens again.
Sometime I manage to unlock the phone for just for 1/2 sec. I see the numbers to type in the PIN code but suddenly the screen disappears; meaning it is again locked
Any idea?
Does it sound like a hardware or software problem?
If software problem can a hardware reset (how to do?) help?
Thx
Do you manage to swipe from right to left?

I managed it only once or twice. But afterwards for just 1/2 second see the numbers for type in the pin code. But after this 1/2 second the device automatically gets locked.

its an overheating issue..
ull all find the reason why its all happening like this.... check the below link ull get the solution...
[http://adf-ly/ADlRd remove '-' and replace wit dot '.'
Thx for the response. But it says that I have to flash and root it etc. I have never done this (any instruction site?). Is it simple to handle?
As I probably will lose when I flash the device; does it help when I update it to Android 4.0.3?
thx

yes it is simple to handle did u unlock ur bootloader? if yes then follow these steps so u can root easly...
http://adf-ly/ADtoE remove - and replace it dot .
although using android for 2 years, I never changed the original system of a device. Therefore that means it would be the 1st time.
Any idea if Android 4 would help?
thx

If overheating is the problem and is confirmed.. - Issue is simple.. but android 4 wil nt help u...
Root ur mobile n run the script as mentiond above..
If u dont want to risk, then just go to ur nearest sony service centre n ask them.. they wil just calibrate ur touchscreen..

Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Pepper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

Thanks Alejandrissimo!!
Alejandrissimo is the best!!
Two weeks ago, I tried to flash cyanogenmod7, but I'm a n00b, so ofcourse it went wrong. My device(Arc) wouldn't boot anymore, I tried some things and suddenly it even wouldn't connect with fastboot..
So I saw this topic and some other ones from Alejandrissimo, Many comments praising him for his patience and help, that's why I contacted him, and that evening he helped me getting my phone working! He really Knowles where he is talking about!
Only problem I had left was NO SIGNAL, I asked Alejandrissimo if he could help me with that and yes he said he could. For almost a whole week, oh well. Much time difference, so it was hard to catch eachother we tried flashing it again and again in different ways. Yesterday he thought he had the answer, we tried it, and it worked!! I'm so happy he helped me getting my phone back! So so many thanks again Alejandrissimo!!
In order to unlock my trim area for my SIM I had to pay 24USD, cause Alejandrissimo had to buy credits at Sony Ericsson, but it was totally worth it!

happened to me this morning but with a lot of luck i managed to get the phone in the flashboot mode (with a lot of tries connecting to PC) and install the stock FW (as i read FW is light on the boot loader)and tried to boot (with a lot of tries) i got it boot once but stops after Xperia screen i tried and tried until it booted normally i want to get back to the custom ROM but afraid that problem accrued again.
NOTE:last night tried to install True licensed market to get paid apps for free the phone heated and heated i uninstalled it and connected the phone to the laptop to charge overnight.
check your gtalk @Alejandrissimo. i've just send you invitation
i need your help for giving my mini pro back,now its on the dead of red led :crying:
Hi people. Because of work and children I have no much time to visit every thread on xda or check all PM, but you can always can contact me to gmail or hangouts.
Sir, today i tried to root my DHD running android 2.3.3 with the advance hack kit. after going through the effinn manual i started the process, it completed successfully but once the phone booted.. all i got to see was the white screen with the green htc logo. i tried to root again after some time and now the phone got WORSE. Htc logo with 4 warning signs at the corner. I tried a lot of things.. and finally installed this RUU (official) through my pc...while the screen still showed same htc logo with 4 warning signs in the corner..
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe .
Now my phone takes around 20-25 minutes to boot. and runs android 2.2.1 .
what do i do now? try n root the phone again with the advance hack kit or if i take it to the htc service center and ask them to re-install the software for my phone? or is there a way i can myself reset if to the factory settings?
Please. PLease help!.. this is deep mess.(for me atleast)
Root it using visionary, then get s-off and flash a rom. It should fix it

Thank you for you help sir. I would like to know if there is a way by which i could return to the original, factory settings. If i take my phone to a htc-authorized service center, would they be able to restore the original software?

ThANk you for your help sir. but my phone wont go into fastboot i think. Because i even checked with root check pro and it shows that my phone isn't Rooted . Also.. if my phone shuts down and i have to restart it, i press the power button and my phone starts 20mins after that.
Also, the charging light still remains for 1-2 minutes even after i remove the charger.

You're talking about the screen lock pattern / PIN / Password / whatever?
Have a look here.
No. I mean is SIM LOCK. When remove my sim and insert to another device. It will need password to unlock. If no. Can not call or sms

Hey,
I'm actually having both the problems described in this thread, and the one that was linked above. When I updated to ICS (official upgrade), my phone became slow, and jerky. On top of that the lock screen is no where to be seen, the phone shuts down without question if I press the power button, and the PIN code wasn't asked ever. I didn't even get calls going out before I figured out that it was possible to permanently unlock the SIM, but I really don't like the idea of that.
Being the fiddler that I am, I of course had to start flashing XDA created ROMs instead, but nothing has helped so far. I haven't tried to modify the /efs/imei/keystr file yet as I don't have my phone here at the moment... but does anyone know what that is supposed to do?
What I've done that doesn't help the situation:
* Flashed the whole phone again with heimdall and the LPQ firmware.
* Installed Darky's LPQ based ROM
* Formatted everything I could see in CWM
* Factory reset and factory format (seems to do the same thing actually)
* probably more.
As a side note, if I downgrade to gingerbread, the lockscreen, SIM unlock and power button menu return but if I then upgrade again, I have the same situation. I'm baffled.

The keystr file maps the power and home buttons, I believe. Give it a shot, should solve your problem.

Thus, "whatever". Try what is contained within my link, if you're rooted. Should solve your problem. Or just ignore my suggestion again. Makes no difference to me.
See here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23636941#post23636941) for someone who was reporting the exact same problem as you, and that fixed their problem.
EDIT: oh look, the guy above had the same problem too, and this helped him.
Thanks everybody. I will try some solution. Or waitting for newer ROM.

I'm using my Xperia Neo V now more then a year. It is running on official SONY release firmware. So didn't rooted. When the battery was empty like always i did, plugged to charger. After a few hours turned on. At the begin everything seems normal, after pincode i saw that main homescreen then it went off and booted again. And now this process is going on and on and on.. Rebooting all the time. Even before entering the pincode if i wait for while.. If i enter the pin tha i have just a few seconds... Then it boots again..
Is there anyway to rcover it? Recovery mode (turning on the device while hold/pushing on the audio buttons) don't work either. After pin step see the home screen and can see on the buttom "securemod" (i'm using it on Dutch no idea what it is in English so i guessed securemod - if i translate it in English this is the most likely word) but then it reboots again... So i tried without sim card / without SD card but still same.. Keeps booting all the time..
Can anybody help me?
I am repeating again: it is a device which is running on original/official SONY firmware!
Can i hack it to custom fw? Because the system and device nor working properly i have to find out a way to hack it when the device is turned off or hacking with the tricks when it is still in booting process....
Thanks folk..
PS: This is my first post and i swear i did a search and readed the rules Could not find any answer that related with my problem..

1. You can try hard reset.
2. Check diffrent firmware, maybe new 20H for P760, it will work on P765.
3. If nothing helped you should give it to service.
