i bought x10 mini in february 2012. after some days i rooted the phone. and after some days it starts auto turn off while sim is inserted. and sometimes it restarts automatically. when charger is connected, there is no problem, but when disconnected, it shuts down immediately. and sometimes it turns off while sim is not inserted but the "on time period" is about 2/3 hours. but when sim is inserted, it turns off immediately just aftrer switched on the phone. and there is a battery draining problem too. sometimes, as example, 90% charge becomes 23% after autorestart. i send it to sony ericsson service centre, but nothing has improved. and now i can see the phone is not rooted. please please please help me !

Did this problems exist BEFORE rooting your device?
If that so, you should contact your service center about this problems.
But don't hope for replacement coz ypu already voided their warranty by rooting your device

I think you done something in the rooting process. Try "re-rooting" it again and follow the instructions CAREFULLY, and maybe this will solve the problem.

Whenever you update your firmware you loose root.
So they just updated your firmware so you lost your root...
Other thing first understand what is rooting..
As in our phone we are not able to access root directory of our device like drive C in computers..
So rooting is just like break that limitation so only rooting will not give birth to any problem
And only unrooting will not cure any problem...
Its like
Opening your home lock will not make your fridge to stop working and locking your home again will not cure your fridge..
So the problem may be a faulty peace of software,
Any malware
Uncompatible firmware
Wrong governers
Or any tweak you made..
Try to find out what you have screwed up with that device!
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
but how can i find that error ? can you please tell me any "test" or "check" to find the fault ? look, i'm very new to this android world, so can you help me by accurate and detail procedure ? please.. my phone is like a dead device now !

Okay there is no program that can "check" or "test" where the problem occurs with(just I'm saying, there is something wrong you did or wrong "procedures" you followed). All you gonna do now is state more details about the procedures you follow (i. e. where did you "get" the instruction, URL, etc.). /Where do you "think" you did something wrong (cause we cannot figure it out, it the procedure in solving a problem; knowing which is the problem to be solved and what caused that problem.)
Actually in my point of view here, your phone is not "bricked" cause it's still opening up, so we can still do something about it.

Look, why are you thinking about "root" "link" "procedure" "instrunctions" repeatedly. I have not done any procedure, i only rooted it and the instruction was from here, and that was appropriate insruction for x10 mini, and for your kind information, that was your previously recommended instruction too. But i think the problem is not that, even my device is not rooted, because the service centre guys updated the firmware.

And it is very bad for me, I can't do nothing against the problem. Now I notice that, when i start the camera, the device turns off !

I'm facing the same problem. The phone switches off only when sim is inserted!
Could it be a hardware problem?? like Radio or battery! Please help!

While trying to fix my message problem (stuck in sending) on my Custom ROM TW 007 on Xperia X10, I have managed to completely screw my phone. Now, I have the following issues
1. Wifi doesnt work.
2. SD Card wont mount
3. SEUS wont connect.
4. Busybox wont install. (problem with Core Utilities)
5. xRecovery wont install.
and obviously Messaging wont work.
I would greatly appreciate if experts can help me out here since I have been stuck for couple of days now with it. Otherwise I be buying another phone soon and sadly I may have to switch from Android to another platform
try reflashing firmware ?????
I am no expert,but i would suggest you to try and flash stock.

Try flashing your stock firmware by flashtool.

Place it on the sd card and install it in xrecovery.
Make sure you have the correct version of the rom...i imagine you need one the locked bootloader version
you will never lose it. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE X10. the phone is unbrickable. Good luck.

He bricked it in a process most of us are not even able to comprehend,
let alone perform, so for the average user, X10 is pretty much unbreakable.

Which is what I meant, but it is incorrect to say it is impossible to brick it, just that it is extremely unlikely that mortals like us will ever do anything that could brick it..
try disconnecting the cord while the bootloader unlock is "in progress". you'll pretty well realise that lesser mortals can brick this phone too.

Not really, he was trying to find a way to flash kernels into boot partition from OS/recovery and after insmodding a module, device got stuck and died after unplugging,
but probably bootloader got corrupted during the insmod and not the unplug.
Anyway, that doesn't happen every day!
And yes, it's a golder rule: don't unplug it!

Why thank you,
Its a shame a damsel came to save the knight on this one....
I'm not sure where to start in regards to Sony.
I myself have a Galaxy S2 and read the Bible there and got great advice/suggestions in the forums, but the Sony bit has me confused.
I have an old Xperia X10a sitting collecting dust (it's about 2-3 years old now) and since a relative wants to get a smartphone and an Android more specifically, I thought this would be perfect for her, in case she were to mishandle it or lose it.
So first, I have to unlock the phone.
Then what I'm confused about is this so called "bootloader", is this something I need to worry about or not?
So unlock phone, then, what?
Thanks in advance.
Meant to put this in Q&A, sorry Mods.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader. just follow this thread that root it, install the Xrecovery(0.3) and flash donutHD 2.2.9 and you never have to worry about anything else. Or and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with sim unlocking to work on different network.
So tell me how it went and ask any questions.

Lol flashing is hard for this phone e compared to others. Half the time the kernels don't flash because there's only two files in it instead of a lot for the loader.bin. like the othernight I flashed a kernal and wifi was broke and the phone was stuck sideways. Its different and I understand I'm in the same boat. Took me almost 13 hours to get this thing to stay rooted and unlocked. Used superoneclick to root and everything said I was except the flashtool lol.

All kernels that I tested was flashed with no problems. the .bin files aren't problem. All kernels which I had worked as they should. Wifi was not broken, and if it was broken, theres an update package to fix this, or you can ask in thread whats the problem that wifi is not running. ...... well sry man but I havent got problems with rooting or flashing. I think this phone is the easy task not the hard one.

I agree with harviak.. I had only one issue till now n that was when I was a complete noob and hadn't followed the steps correctly. I got it workin myself after that. So don't get scared of customizing.
Btw if ur cousin is on a different network and ur x10a is locked to a certain network then the bootloader has ntn to do with what u need. U need to remove the simlock. Look for an appropriate guide here on xda
And if u feel interested in putting in a custom ROM unlock ur bootloader (look for a thread called flashtool and check out the guides there)

4 months ago i've rooted my Galaxy S3 international (I-9300). Before rooting i took a nandroid backup of the Samsung's ICS. Then i flashed CM10 and recently (1 month ago) i flashed CM10.1. Everything was working OK (except some issues that come with the CM10-10.1). I also came against the SOD (Screen of Death) but as the devs warned us i was OK with that. From time to time i flashed a newer version of the CM10.1 nightly (recent one was 4th of Jan 2013).
Today as i was sitting in my office i picked up my device and pressed the power button just to check the time. The device did not respond and i presumed that it was another case of SOD. So i removed my battery and put it back inside as i always did when a SOD occured. I long-pressed the power button but nothing happened. I went to the nearest Samsung supplier and i bought a brand new Samsung battery to replace the old one but the device never powered up. Now i am stack with a device that cannot power up. I cannot get into download mode as well.
Is it a case of a bricked device? If it is, is there anything i can do to bring it back to life?
Thanks in advance!
In this case you cannot do much....take it to center and require motherboard replacement, if its case of brickbug it will he warranty covered....right now im interested if you flashed XXELLA or newer bootloader or did you flash kernel compiled from 7th source from samsung?

Sudden death, all you can do is get a motherboard replacement at a service center, however they may never know you flashed CM10.1 because the NAND is dead.

Thanks for the quick reply but i am not sure i can help you with the bootloader! I am not an advanced user. I just used Odin v3.04 to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. When i finally rooted my device i downloaded the CM10 and afterwards the CM10.1 rom and flashed it along with the GAPPS. And then i used a program to match the modem with the RIL (XXDLID). Ofcourse i fixed permissions.
One thing i need to know? Does the phone stays in the warranty if you root it?

You mean that i shouldnt say anything about root and CM10.1 right?
Also, is there a way for the technicians to find out that i've rooted the device and flashed CM10.1? I mean on a device that it cant even power on!
ps: i live in Cyprus (small island in the meditteranean sea) , so there isnt any advanced service center to examine my motherboard (at least i hope so).

Don't mention it, don't say anything about firmware, if they ask play dumb and just say the latest version, it's up to them to prove your warranty is void, also is Cyprus in the EU? If so check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092530&highlight=eu
In short for your warranty to be voided by flashing Samsung has to prove that it was CM10.1 that caused the problem.
I don't think this will be needed though because your NAND is completely dead so it will be extremely hard if possible for them to prove you flashed anything.

Samsung should worry about their skin, because i am a user that rooted his device to flash a custom ROM, then the device is not booting by any means and i am thinking to root it again after the motherboard is replaced!!
By the way, the problem on the motherboard is caused 100% because i root the device??

No it is not caused by rooting your device. Your case is a typical Sudden Death Syndrome one. For more info go here:

You said that the last CM 10.1 you installed was from 04.01.13? Well in that case the Samsung Update7 source wasn`t applied yet to CM10.1 Kernel, so the Kernel was not secure.

Yes there is a problem with a specific type of eMMC chips in the SIII. There is plenty of evidence now that Samsung fixed this issue with the Update7 Source release and most S3 Kernels have this fix by now. You can read it in detail by clicking the link I posted a couple of posts ago.
I hope that they will repair your device without any problems but they should and if you couldn`t even access download mode it`s pretty much impossible to find out that you had Root or a custom ROM installed.

Some people are saying that the kernel fixes it some are saying they havent, but the service center should fix it because its a known problem.
Also the latest kernel has only been rolled out in UK and Spain. If there has not been a stock update available in your country there is really nothing they can do.

Hey guys,
I have a similar problem except that my screen turns on and shows the Galaxy S3 logo when I try to power it on but it won't go further (shows logo until I pull the battery). It doesn't boot into recovery either but I can start download mode.
The phone just turned off while I was listening to music. I think I was running Omega v27.
So my question is: Should I try flash a stock ROM since I can boot into download mode? And is this even "sudden death"?
Thanks in advance!

Tried to flash the + RESCUE FIRMWARE SGSIII I9300 + but it doesn't work. It can't flash the .pit-file and it doesn't work without either.
So I really have to return it but:
since the phone boots into download mode they will see that I used a custom firmware. Any chance to change this?
Hello,
Guys, my mobile hangs often. While I am using my mobile it will be working fine. But, when the screen locks automatically or when I lock screen manually, it stucks. I cannot unlock again. Simply black screen.
I have to remove battery and do hard reboot so that it will work fine again. It is not happening all the time. But daily at-least twice it is happening. But most of the time it is working good. I can lock and unlock manually. I can unlock after an automatic lock.
Any solution, is this because of the memory usage?? I am not an expert in mobiles and I just started exploring your site. I need your help friends.

Luffy, My phone is still in warranty period. If I flash custom ROM, warranty cannot be claimed in any case. So thinking about that.
Also, I haven't flashed customer ROM before. I may crash the phone. If you have any links that show exact steps to do I can try. I know nothing in flashing, if I have detailed procedure for noobs I can try.

Also, I haven't flashed customer ROM before. I may crash the phone. If you have any links that show exact steps to do I can try. I know nothing in flashing, if I have detailed procedure for noobs I can try.
Thanks

Hello,
Guys, my mobile hangs often. While I am using my mobile it will be working fine. But, when the screen locks automatically or when I lock screen manually, it stucks. I cannot unlock again. Simply black screen.
I have to remove battery and do hard reboot so that it will work fine again. It is not happening all the time. But daily at-least twice it is happening. But most of the time it is working good. I can lock and unlock manually. I can unlock after an automatic lock.
Any solution, is this because of the memory usage?? I am not an expert in mobiles and I just started exploring your site. I need your help friends.

What kind of lock you'r using? Slide, camera, voice? Best to use slide. No lags works best.
Happy to help.

Hi, im a newbie on this forum so im sorry if im making any mistake. I have xperia sola from September 2012. it was working well untill almost a year back. Check this
I'm having same problem since then , maybe because of overcharging or maybe because I had some battery monitoring apps installed. so from a year or so my phone cant stay up for more than 10mins and im living through it, at first i had no idea how to fix it but when i checked sony forum i got to know it can be repaired by SUS/SOny pc companion. I know all the steps about installing ics because i have done it by myself after buying this phone.but now i cant because i have slow internet it will take forever to download it and there is no Sony service center in my city. I searched about cyanogenmod and I really feel like trying it on my phone but im scared because I haven't played with the ROM thing ever so i may brick the phone and then blame the developers. I can download all the files required for cyanogenmod overnight on my phone and transfer them to laptop and do the further steps. but the problem is , what if my phone turns off during installation process? will it get bricked? and will it even solve the battery issue?
ok i cant post links over here i was just posting sony forum's thread.my phone's battery has problems it drops from 100% to 0% from 90% to 0% , just at any point, i cant use my phone without charger being plugged in

I see. So are you on official stock ICS right now? or not yet? I don't get how you need to install ics by yourself, as aren't xperia sola's shipped with ics installed already? Anyways, try one of the ff:
A. Recalibrate your battery stats (search a battery calibrate app in the play store. I think it requires root.)
B. Try a new battery
C. If you can, try doing a factory reset to see if it's an app's fault or a system service or something. Or maybe try removing apps that keep running in the background. I don't think flashing cyanogen will help much if in your stock rom the problem already exists.
D. Or if it's not a software problem or a battery problem, then maybe it's a phone hardware problem. I had a neo V that had a short. So battery life was cut. battery always gets eaten, even when I turn the phone off! Maybe you could try going to a cellphone repair store not necessarily a sony center if your warranty period is already over
Hope this helps

You can root, calibrate, then unroot That way you won't really lose warranty

There's is absolutely no risk in the process of rooting. It's what you do after rooting. You can also try eroot or shume root genius. I believe it can work with xperia sola too. Go do it!!

If you can't download, tell the OP. Or, there are lots of ways to root! Search google for shuame root genius, or eroot here in xda by nabeel.

i tried eroot but it didn't work on my xperia sola build number 6.1.1.B.1.54 , neither binary's method worked.
should i try another method? flashing 6.1.1.B.1.10 > using binary's app > flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54 again
but from where should i download flashtool? ive never done this before

Yup! That's quite common and guides for that are easy to find.
Also, before you do the kernel change, have you tried http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ ?
Btw for eroot, shuame, flash tool, and binary's root app to work, drivers are needed.
For drivers, you can find a driver installer within flash tool. Or you could use the drivers provided by sony pc companion. So don't expect any of them to work if you haven't installed working drivers.

any one should work. only can tell, by trial and error.
So your options and fallbacks:
1. your link from sony's website (it says for GB... you're on ICS already right? idrk if this one should work well)
2. sony pc companion provided drivers (recommmended IMO)
3. shuame root genius provided drivers (you should try the others first and this is your last resort)
4. flashtool provided drivers (I also recommend this)
5. PdaNet (really really last resort. not that' it's bad or anything. I just like sticking to officially provided drivers for starters)

I've run out of ideas now.. Maybe flashing a different baseband may help. Note this is a blind guess.. I dont know if it will help or not. I just know baseband does affect battery life. I have never done this myself so I don't know how risky it can be

http://d-h.st/wg1
on divaksh's post, so should i download it on my phone and transfer it to my laptop and flash it via flashtool, will it work? and it's the official stock rom right? i can just put it on download and sleep, it will be ready by the time i get up, see this thread by nabeel he also recommends to install fresh ROM

Just be sure that the Rom you are about to download is legitimately stock Rom. As I don't know where you got that download link. I am not from the sola forum so I don't recognize the username
It is best to download from a laptop/desktop as phone download managers often make uncommon file types into unusable files. U could go to a computer shop or try downloading it from a friend's house. Then flash it yourself on your laptop
