Hi there, about a month ago my X10 Mini started doing weird thing. After reboot the screen is blank (black) and the notification LED is flashing red. There is no response to any keypress, nothing. The only option to turn off the phone is to disconnect the battery (under the rubber cover at the back). Then when I want to turn on the phone, again the same problem - blank screen and red notification LED. The only option to do something is to boot into recovery and flash/reflash ROM. Erasing cache/data wont help, only new ROM. And now, I reflashed the ROM, it started. I needed to reboot (inserted SIM card) and again, blank scree, red notification LED and no response.
The recovery is working fine so maybe the problem is in the kernel? Why? I was using this phone for more than a half year and without problem.
Specs: bootloader unlocked, nAa kernel, CWM recovery, ROM now GingerRobyn V04 (before MiniCM7)
//Just flashed latest nAa kernel - nothing new happened....
///There is something ****ed up in this phone. A few more times I reflashed the kernel and ROM, tryed stock ROM and kernel and its weird. When I restart the phone and do nothing - red LED. But when I restart the phone and Im constantly pushing the back key (as when I want to get into recovery) but stop pushing right when the screen lights up (only backlight), the kernel logo appears and it didnt go into recovery, but normally boots up into ROM. When I push the back button further when the screen lights up, it normally goes into recovery. And in the recovery if I go "reboot" or "turn off", when turning on the phone without pressing the back button until screen flashes up (then stop), it wont start, just red notification LED.
I wanna sell this phone so I need to fix this. Everything is working except this thing...
////Probably its not kernel or ROM based. Tryed nAa 13/14, stock and nAa JB 3 kernel - nothing changedm still b!tch!ng. Tryed stock ROM, MiniCM, GingerSony, Jelly Bean ROM - nothing changed.
Hi,
try plugging in your sdcard and then powering on you phone. Also make sure your battery has got some juice.
Good luck.

Thanks! The MicroSD actually worked. Any idea why? When booting up, kernel/recovery/ROM needs to write something in it?
This is a known kernel bug.

Hi, I was using CM7 + Goldenleaf for about a week.
Today the screen got black. I had to remove battery and power up. But it stucks at CM7 boot animation. Few tries later it gone past the animation but the only thing that I can see was status bar, the rest of the screen is black, nothing works.
Now I get stuck at boot animation again.
I wasnt installing anything that might have caused it.
I thaught that its maybe SD card problem, because I use A2SD, but in recovery I can go to mass stroage USB and it sees my SD on PC.
I dont want to do full wipe, is there ant solution?
Thanks.

Without wiping anything flash the same rom (u said CM7) which is installed from custom recovery, and reboot, that must solve your problem.
Face it man, you might have to wipe everything and start over....do a backup when you get it working, 6.5.8 has intergrated gapps but the reason you experienced that black screen with status bar seems to me like you had a problem with a missing home launcher. Just redownload 6.5.8, gapps from mediafire,goldenleaf/fserve kernel.....wipe everything, flash 6.5.8,reboot, flash everything else

all was fine until i tried to install the language pack for chinese:

and i forgot to wipe Davilk Cache.
now my phone just keeps booting to the oodie miui screen, won't enter xrecovery or flash mode. how do I fix this ?
you should be able to boot into recovery from power off depending on what phone you have...or you can get to recovery from your bootloader....or you can use adb...what phone are you using because unless you find a way to get into your recovery you will stay stuck in a boot loop

I am using the xperia x10, and I don't know how to do any of the things you've reccomended, I'm still new to this.
You can always go into recovery mode by turning off your phone, taking out the battery. Then hold the back button and put in the battery, it will boot the phone in recovery mode (not xrecovery) and the green led light will come on. At the point you can flash a rom via flashtool.
- Captain Scrat
i've tried that and when i hit "flash" it "aborts" and my phone starts up to the oodie miui screen thats sort of like a loading screen since it has the loading bar i guess?
Repeat again! Should work!
would my battery need to be more than 50% to do that? i've read some places that it has to.
You have to press flash when the green led light is still on. It doesnt stay on for long tho, so do it quickly. And ya having the bat above 50% is a good idea for when the phone needs to be disconnected from computer and boot on its own.
- Captain Scrat
it starts to flash then exits flash mode and then "boots" and it aborts flash.
it happens sometimes. Try again
It finally let me flash it and it fixed! thanks guys.
My phone was running at about 60% battery last night, and working fine. It was in my pocket and it vibrated. I was unable to turn it on or reboot it, even after removing the battery. I tried using the battery from my wife's S2 but still no luck. I tried connecting the power supply but it still wouldn't boot so I left it charging overnight.
This morning it alternately flashed a fully green battery and a fully black battery. If I press and hold the power button it starts the boot process - I get past the Samsung splash screen and see the first "Resurrection Remix" splash screen, but then it reverts to displaying the green battery.
Any ideas for how I can revive the phone??

Ok We cant say its bricked!! Because its booting up but not coming to homescreen rite? Are u able to get into recovery or download mode?? If ur able o then wipe the data cache and dalvik cache, reinstall the ROM again.. If Recovery doesnt shw up.. Then Use ODIN to flash original fw!! Even if u still couldn get it.. Order a USB JIG from Ebay and try getting into DOWNLOAD MODE!! Even after this its still working means ITS BRICKED !!
Start download mode and the flash a new stock firmware . And your phone isnt bricked .!
This is why I always make a backup.
If you can get into download mode you can fix it, if you can't it's a service centre job. Pretty simple really.
Try cleaning charging port..

Uh oh...I managed to get into Recovery mode, did a factory reset and kicked off a re-install of the Resurrection Remix ROM from the external SD and it's hung at 50% (for 10 mins now) - at the "Extracting /system..." stage. I daren't interrupt it.
Any ideas???
Yes stop messing
1: If you dint have to save anything, wipe better to full wipe
Flash a stock Rom using Odin, than start again with custom roms.
OR
2: download your custom Rom again and flash, might be corrupt download.

So it's OK to interrupt this ROM flash, even though it's stuck at 50%? Should I just hold the power button or remove the battery??
pull the battery
But I say flash stock Rom first, lengthy procedure I know, but safer
OK I decided to reflash RR 2.3, which had been running fine for a couple of weeks previously. Immediately after flashing (which worked OK) the boot process wouldn't complete - it got as far as the RR splash screen then died (screen blank, and needed a long press on the power button to restart).
This happened several times. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery and it finally booted.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I've noticed that the phone often runs quite warm, but I don't know if that's normal.
You have to flash stock rom, only way to know if there is something wrong with your phone, run it for couple days.
Now to the heat issue, it is due to
1: modem
2: kernel
3: both
Hi guys, I've installed many CFW without problem, until I installed the latest PACMan build. I didn't like it so I reflashed the Hasa v6, that i've been using for a while, and the phone just got kind of "crazy". I tried to wipe/format/wipe delvik, flash another rom via recovery, flash the stock FW with flashtool, still the problem continue.. I'll try t make a short list of the problems:
- Lockscreen usually hangs the phone, screen goes all black and playing with the power, after a while, it goes back sometimes
- Some force-closes (mainly the system process)
- Sometimes I can't boot to CWM, the "back" and "option" touch-buttons keep lit, and that's it, sometimes I can
- Also the battery status doesn't seem to be working properly, I charge it and it never pass the 30% mark, or get stuck on a number beforr it
How can I do a "brute-force" wipe, or something like that to restore my phone to it's normal state? These issues are driving me mad, and I can't see a solution..
Thank you very much!
The device is a Sk17i Mini Pro
Try flashing a kernel like LuPuS v3 or MESA Hybrid v3.7 via Fastboot and then flash the latest ROM that was working flawlessly.
Thanks, I tried with mesa and Lupus and after that, the same issues seem to occur..
Adding problems:
- I started having the "build prop" error, always when I flash CM-based roms, and I never had this issue before these problems (I do the workaround to install them by editing them with notepad++ and removing first lines..)
- The phone, once in a while, stay with the back and menu buttons lit for ages..
- The phone doens't turn off completely (menu and back and the screen stay lit, the screen is black, but it's ON), the only way to truly turn off is removing the battery..
- When I choose "power off" from the bootloader, the same issue occurs, the screen stay lit in black and phone doesn't turn off..
Please help.. I just don't know what is happening and it is so frustrating.
My device is not powering on because it shows that the battery level is low even though it's not.
A couple days ago my device just powered off without a prompt or anything. I was using my browser and all of a sudden it powered off. I tried to turn it on but got nothing. Then I connected it to the charger and the display showed the battery icon and the LED showed red. I tried powering on then but it wouldn't start. The Sony logo would come up and then go off again. This happened a couple times and I connected and disconnected it from the charger a couple times and after a moment it started normally. It happened again later but started back up after connecting it to a charger. The next day it happened again with the Sony logo showing and turning off again continuously and all the while the LED is red. Blinking red twice, showing the battery icon, then the Sony logo and turning off again. But now its not showing anything. I connect it to a charger which shows a red battery icon for a few seconds and then black screen but with red LED. I had LineageOS rom installed so I thought to flash stock ROM again which might solve the problem but now I can't get the device in flashmode to flash the ftf.
(IDK if this is relevant or no but a year and maybe half ago I had a problem with the battery. The phone took about 5-6 hrs of charging and discharged in 4-5 minutes. I went to the service centre and they told me it was a software problem which they fixed.)
Can anyone suggest on what to do? Any help will be appreciated.

this might seem irrelevant but trust it isn't, if you have the TA partition already backed up you should restore it, when you do your problem would be solved, I had same issues, and it turns out that the TA partition contains everything the phone should do to boot up, and what to do, its like a blueprint that the phone follows, I restored the phones TA partition and everything was fine again, flash advanced kernel TWRP via fastboot in flashtool, and instal a stock firmware from there and as soon as you can boot the phone in the system restore the TA partition and flash stock ROM via the Xperia Companion, Thats exactly how I solved my issue

Well, thanks for the response. I'll be without WiFi for a couple days and will try your method then. I'll let you know if it works out.
Thanks again!

Okay. I restored the TA Backup, flashed stock firmware but now the device won't boot up. It's stuck on that blue wavy screen. I waited for about half an hour but no change.

1. hold the off button and the volume button for atleast a minute. (ignore any vibration)
2. charge your phone until the green light turns on. (make sure phone is off, don't charge while its on the blue screen)
3. turn on your phone

are you rooted or on pure stock ? if you installed the ROM using flashtool please go to Xperia Companion and try, if not unlock your bootloader again flash Advanced Kernel, and flash a Custom ROM lets say (RR 7.1.2) and see if the phone boots up
