[Q] Phone only boots after removing the battery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi there,
I recently encountered a very annoying error with the MT15i of my girlfriend and I can't make any sense of it. If the phone is powered down, it usually won't turn on anymore (with rare, unreproducable exceptions). I have to remove the battery for a few seconds and then everything is fine again. Using a "reboot option" in android works fine.
I already tried different kernels (suave, super stock, lupus) and different roms, even stock. Right now I am running Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (because the newest version won't boot).
The bootloader is unlocked.
I hope you can help me find the cause of this error.
Best wishes

strange problem try changing the rom
by the way switching on the phone has nothing to do with rom
it's kernel related
it can be a hardware issue

try locking the bootloader if testpoint method was applied and revert back to ics and sort problems through catlog

First of all, thank you all for your suggestions.

I unlocked the bootloader using the method described at https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/bootloader-unlock , should I still try to relock the bootloader?
As I mentioned in my initial post, I already tried using the original firmware, i.e. stock ICS and sadly, it did not work.
Will a logcat give me information about the shutdown and startup process? Is there any way to get some sort of "kernel log"?
Is there any way to find out, whether it is hardware or software related?

nope friend....the problem is ..u unlocked your phone via sony website....there is no locked bootloader again...try flashing 0.587 ftf with both kernel and rom
the file is available here

As I mentioned before, I already tried flashing stock ROM and kernel ( 4.1.B.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 ) and both of them didn't resolve the issue. The phone still will, most of the times, only boot after I removed the battery for a few seconds.

[Request] CWM Backup of ROMs

I was just going through Xperia Ray's development sub-forum when I found JJ's Hybrid ROM for Locked Bootloaders
This is actually just a CWM Backup of JJ's Hybrid ROM for Unlocked Bootloaders being restored in a bootloader locked phone
Could this method also work with our phones?
I would like to test this method on my XMP. I would be really grateful if someone uploads and provides me a link to CWM Backups of the following ROMs
1st I'l try with stock based ROM Real ICS r5.1
2) PARANOIDANDROID-ICXtrim
3) [DEV][AOSP][WIP]JellyBean 4.1.1
Please zip and upload CWM backups of the above mentioned ROMs. I would be very grateful
Anyone
All stock-based roms should work on stock kernel. Any backup method won't let you to run any JB rom, as it need modified ramdisk. I don't know why JJ's roms are working on stock kernel only after backup restore, seems strange.

Paranoid port need to have other kernel, because it's CM9 based.

Is JJ's ROM based on stock? And according to u Real ICS r5.1 should be working with stock kernel as it is based on stock ROM
I don't know about JJ's but RealICS is stock based. And it should work with stock ics kernel.

First, why do you want to restore from a backup? Especially with stock based roms? Yes Real ICS works on stock kernel, but why do you want to keep stock kernel? Can you not unlock your bootloader? Even stock extended kernel is better because it give autoroot and cwm in kernel and also int.d support.
Just as was said before, Jellybean wont work because it uses a modified ramdisk, and stock kernel will not run it. You will just get bootloop. I would assume its the same for Paranoid because its based on CM9 and that also uses modified ramdisk, but different again from Jellybean.
The reason JJ's works on an unlocked bootloader is because it is based on stock, meaning the ramdisk is stock. But the original install is just for unlocked bootloaders for whatever reason.
Hope that cleared it up,
Cheers,
Evil.

Wow, that is crap, im so sorry . In that case your better off sticking with a stock based rom and using stock kernel. Just to let you know, don't flash too much because that can create more bad block on nand. If you phone is under warranty, flash back to stock everything using SUS (make sure your bootloader is locked) then take it to sony repair center. Tell them you have bad blocks on nand and that they should not be there coz phone is only x months old. They should fix it under warranty.

I'm already back on stock. It's been a long time since I relocked my bootloader, I had unlocked using test point method. But I can't go to Sony repair centre, because as far as I know once we unlock the bootloader our warranty is void and even if they don't figure that out, what if they ask how I know about bad blocks in NAND flash?

Try this you dont need to have unlocked bootloader just root which doesnt void warranty, well i dont think so haha but just dont mention it and if they ask, just say you were having problems and someone told you to check for bad blocks and the only way to do that was to root to dmesg and then you unrooted again haha

So you want to flash Vasishta Reddy's CM9 ROM, ok so you are already on UL bootloader and rooted too, and I guess you are already on .71 baseband? now just follow below steps,
flash latest FXP kernel using flashtool, it will also install cwm recovery to your phone. once done flash ROM, launcher, gapps and addons.
Here is more detailed guide, but make sure you choose latest fxp kernel.
The xperia S ics ROM. Its on the link I gave. Both I've already installed it using flashtool. I can now reboot it into recovery mode. And I have checked using S1tool and there is the small letter 'r' in "S1 ERROM VER" code part. Am I correct?

Hi!
My question is even worse. Is there a fully newbie tutorial for installing that ICS on X10?? I'm new in all that but I started reading and watching tutorials and I'm getting more and more confused after every tutorial.
I get this part: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507 (great tutorial, just what I need) but after that I'm confused... It says 1)FLASH THE LATEST CM9 FXP KERNEL and there I'm confused. Where to find it and how to flash it? The same as SE Firmware in above tutorial, using Flashtool?
2)MAKE A FULL WIPE
3)FLASH THE ROM
This thing I understand. I flash the ROM just like kernel before.
4)FLASH XPERIA HOME ,GAPPS AND REBOOT ,LET THE ROM SETTLE AGAIN REBOOT TO RECOVERY
5) FINALLY FLASH ADDON PACK
So this flash is a thing that confuses me.
Thank you and sorry for such a newbie questions.
Well the kernel you must flash using the flashtool. You can get the kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29001053. The rom, home, gapps and addon you must flash it using CWM via install .zip files. The guide is actually simple if you once understand

Thanks! Since FXP135's download link is broken, I will use Amin Cm9-P6005 as Kernel. Just one question: from the tutorial about flashing, there is only one SE Firmware 3.0.1 UK version, but somewhere I found it more. Is it important or not? I'm from Croatia (Europe) so will there be some problems?
EDIT: nvm, root and installing xrecovery was successful I just installed audio stuttering fix for now, and I will flash kernel and ICS when I get my backup phone. Thanks once again
Now I see that there is "video recording" and also "8mpx" under BUGS. What does it mean!?? I use camera almost every day so video recording and taking pictures with 8 Mpx is must-have. I use Vignette to take pictures and stock SE's app for recording video.
And I saw in Amin's kernel that wi-fi sometimes doesn't work. Wi-fi and tethering (hotspot) are also a must-have options. Please confirm that these bugs are still active because I will give up from this ROM if it's right.
If not, I will flash it today, or these days. And I saw something about baseband but I don't understand. I rooted the phone and installed CWM and now can I just flash Amin's kernel, do a full wipe and then install home, gapps and addon?

[Q] Need Help - Can I Safely Go Back To Stock ROM And Kernel?

Ok i just wrote all of this out and it disapeared..
So il rewrite it all now! Joy!:crying: (Sorry if i miss details in haste to finish..)
Hello!
Im wondering if it is safe for me to revert me phone back onto Stock Rom and stock Kernal, and how I would go about doing this?
Heres my Phones Details:
Model Number- X10i
Android Version- 2.3.3
Baseband Version- 2.1.71
Kernel Version- [email protected]) )
Build Number- Wolf_Xperia_7.0.0x
It was a while ago i did all of this stuff to my phone, and I just wanna make sure im going to go the right way about doing it from Guys in the know!
The actual Rom I am running is Wolfbreaks 2.3 Rom V7b6 (ulbl version) It changes to that after you flash in xLoud & Bravia or something.
The main reason for me doing this is, My phone has become a pain.
It keeps Force Rebooting whenever I try to-
Run Larger Apps (Wheres my Water?)
Use my Internet
Charge my phone & text or something simple.
And 7/10 times it reboots, it deletes my Contacts, Messages, Email acounts and other data.
Can anyone give me a direction of how I can get my phone to be almost back to stock.
Basicaly, Stock 2.3 Rom and Kernel (and il just root it afterwards unless its already done)
I Imagine it will be as easy as flashing afew files in xRec or Flashtool.
But, What files should I use? and Which way should I flash them? In what Order? Etc etc..
Thanks for ANY feedback! Its much appreciated!:laugh::good:

You can always reflash your Stock Rom and Kernel. Personaly, I use Sony Update Service, but you can use latest Flashtool if you want.
Here you are a link for SEUS (Sony Update Service):
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Install SEUS on your PC. Run it. Wait till it finished initialization. Folow instuction...After Flashing is over, you must Root your phone again with latest Flashtool. Before rooting, remember to go to phone Settings/Applications/Development and check USB Debugging box.

Thanks for your feedback!
I did consider using the official software for it, but was unsure if it would work right.
Souly I wasnt sure if it would replace the kernel back to stock aswel as the rom. Also, because of the Unlocked Bootloader.
So using SEUS will definetly set my kernel to stock aswel? and im assuming it will lock my bootloader again if i do so?
Thanks again so much for your reply =)
Oh! And also, Do you have any knowledge on why my phone is rebooting so drasticaly and deleting all my data?
Its defintly not over/underclocking.
My guess was it was the kernel/rom.
Don't worry about bootloader. It will remain unlocked. SEUS always flash Stock Rom and kernel as one. Just reflash your phone with official service, and root again with Flashtool.

Edited from last post
And when you back to Stock, I can recommend you to flash Xrecovery with Flashtool. If you wanna flash Custom Rom I recommend you to flash ThJap's ThGo2 v.17. It's flashable through Xrecovery. For me one of the best GB rom out there.

But yeah, sorry for mentioning this again. But i think your missing my question because your giving me such speedy replies xD

But do you have any idea about whats causing this terrible Rebooting/Deleting data problem? is it something youv seen commonly before?

"Oh! And also, Do you have any knowledge on why my phone is rebooting so drasticaly and deleting all my data?
Its defintly not over/underclocking.
My guess was it was the kernel/rom."

You probably mess your rom and kernel by doing something wrong ( flash something bad and incorrect). I have used Wolfbreak Rom without problem.

Thanks again man. I probably did haha.
But ive used wolfs roms for ages, and never had the problem up until the ulbl doom version of V7b6. But the weird thing is, it gets consistently worse by the day!
Anyway, il give what you said a try early tommorow and report back hopefully with good news! =)
Il find out soon enough, if i put my phone on charge with internet on, in less than two mins it will reboot.
Thanks for your help man Greatly appreciated.
Yeah, quick reply and didn't saw at the moment. I have used DonatHD, also good one. It is also Gingerbread. ICS roms aren't quite finished for X10. Wait for Feravolt and Achotjan to finish their ICS roms, for now they are in Beta stages...
But, if you prefer Xperia S look, widgets, and apps, ThJap is better.
There you are some "how to":
You must be on Stock kernel with Xrecovery, flash ThGo2 v17 through Xrecovery, let the Rom boot for first time, do phone setup if you want(date, time, accounts...). Reboot in Xrecovery again, and then install new ThJap kernel Th n5-1 through Xrecovery.
Here you are link for kernel Th n5-1:
https://hotfile.com/dl/176929536/0f78d8d/2.3Th_kernel_n5-1.zip.html
And remember, don't use any CPU app for setting frequency and kernel governor like SETCPU, ROM TOOLBOX, NO FRILLS, because with this kernel you will get WLOD (freezes) and random reboots.

Dont use the overclocked version of doom kernel. I'm using wolf xperia 6.0.0s and doom kernel's mediun clocked version. It works very good.

Thanks for your feedback also =D
So, if i downloaded his medium clocked kernel. Can i just flash it over my overclocked kernel and it will be sorted? or do i need to flash stock first?
also, to flash a kernel in. is it flashtool i should use? and not xRec?
Thanks!
Have you done any "housekeeping" on your X10? Such as fix permissions or cleared your caches lately? Sometimes, with the issues you are having the phone needs a little cleaning. Wolf's rom is stable on most kernels that are stock based. When I ran this rom, I used a task manager to release memory esp. before using memory intensive apps. Hope this helps.

For Doomkernel, don´t need back to Stock. Just flash it through Flastool.

Nope, But i did after I read this.
Still no joy.. thanks anyway.
And thanks again Dzufa. Speaking of which, what made you think i was running the overclocked kernel? and not the medium one?
Because, im 90% sure i used the medium clocked kernel in the first place.
And on top of all of this..!
My x10 wont recognise on my laptop anymore.. so i cant get into flash tool and stuff..
Lets get some things straight. There no such thing like medium clocked. This is also overclocked version, but it's medium overclocked up to 1113mhz. Full overclocked CPU speed is up to 1228mhz, and, in many cases, causes freezing (WLOD). Default CPU speed is up to 998mhz.
Do you have SEUS installed on your laptop??? And, if you have, does SEUS recognize your X10i?

Hm? no such thing? And yeah in either case. I wasnt overclocking at all. Because when i first tried it. Always got WLOD so stoped within a day.
And Yeah i have SEUS installed, And Flashtool.
But nothing is recognising my x10. Not SEUS, Not flashtool and not even "My Computer" When i plug it in, my phone just behaves as if its being charged in the wall. No option to "Mount Sd Card"
Sorry for this problem going on for ever..
Im going to try and get it to recognise again now.
If it does, Im just gonna use SEUS to stock my phone again, then root it.
Then mayby consider Trying a different custom rom like the one you suggested.
(thats if it actualy works stock!)
Thanks for all your help man

Good News. Was just a dodgy cable! Charging my phone up to 90ish% then ill get it onto SEUS. And check the condition of it. If all goes well, i shall root it. If its still good, il look out some custom roms =)
Il keep you updated. Thanks
I'm not saying that you overclocked your phone. Mine is been overclocked for 2 years. I'm used Doomkernel v6 with 1113 mhz without any problem.
OK, try to uninstall Flashtool and SEUS from your laptop. Then restart your laptop. Install first SEUS, and connect your x10 via usb.

Link abovementioned guide you to wrong post. Get back few post earlier and find about Recognizing your phone. Or read this, quoted text from that post by G-Face:
"If your phone is not recognized by Flashtool that means you don’t have the required drivers installed.
Open folder /Flashtool/drivers and install ggsetup-2.2.0.11
If after the above Flashtool still doesn’t recognize your phone, do the following:
From Flashtool/drivers folder extract the zip file XXX_ADB_driver which corresponds to your phone model Open “Device manager” on the computer and find the device which is with an exclamation mark on it (do this with connected to the computer phone) Right click on the device and choose Uptade driver Choose to find the driver manually and browse to the folder where you’ve extracted the zip file. That should install the required drivers on your computer".

1- Is there any differences between T-Mobile and Samsung vibrant except sim-Lock? Can I use the ROM which mentioned in sasung vibrant thread?
2- I have 2.1 stock- rooted without CWM recovery yet, can I flash 2.2 ? if yes how(I don't have high speed internet connection so I prefer to flash it on my phone)?
3- How can I use CM ROM? Is it required to have special bootloader or something els? what are the bugs of CM Roms?
4- Please help me,
Thank you thank you thank you

Ok
1. The phone IS the Samsung Galaxy S
T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959. It comes sim locked fro tmo but it can very easily be unlocked by an app from playstore, if youd like but isnt required to flash custom roms. So yes Samsung vibrant=T-mobile vibrant.
2. The official 2.2 from Samsung is installed through kies mini but dont do it! There probably is an official odin image floating around as well but again dont worry about that. You are at the best place to begin using custom roms. All you need is to flash cwm recovery and its go time. I will link some threads for you. **You may run into some issue not having HS internet connection as there are a lot of files that need downloaded.**
3.In order to use a CM rom, you must have a custom (CWM) recovery. As far as boots, there are froyo bootloaders and gingerbread bootloaders. Most roms are fine with froyo boots, some recommend GB boots, some require GB boots and all will work with GB boots so its best to install GB boots. Any known bugs on a custom rom are usually posted in op. Some bugs in alpha and beta builds might not have been reported yet. Thus far, cm7 7.1-2=stable, cm9=stable, cm10=stable, cm10.1=beta. I havent used it myself but check the thread for bugs.
Read this thread first! It is the vibrant bible from N00B, a must read.

[Q] FastBoot Files

When I first bought my phone, it had Gingerbread on it, then I got an OTA update to ICS from Moto, and after that I rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs, does that mean my kernel also changed with the OS or am I still running the Moto ICS Kernel?
Can one update the kernel only by Manufacturer OTA? If not, then why is there so much emphasis on going back to stock ICS before trying the leaked OTA of JB or trying any ROM built for JB kernel? if i directly install the leaked JB OTA wont i update my Kernel also?
Does anyone have a link where I can get Fastboot files of MotoBlur ICS Asia Retail?

Yes your Kernel also has changed when you moved to ICS. If you have not messed around with your stock Kernel you can directly update to JB , I have done it.
But you better keep your fastboot files and RSD lite ready just in case u brick .

No i havent messed up with kernel ever, so can i just flash the zip from safestrap like any other rom file?? Moreover, upon flashing will i lose my root permissions & apps requiring root permissions/ my recovery softwares like SS3/CWM etc etc.??
What do i need RSD lite for?
