Hi there. I'm posting here since I can't post on development.
I have a black SK17i with locked bootloader and no chance of unlocking it.
Recently I flashed Real ICS Lite r4 (based on 4.1.B.0.587) since it's now compatible with locked bootloader.
90% works fine but camera and youtube appear with blanked screen.
They both work (I can take pictures, record movies and listening to youtube videos) but image just gets with blank (black) screen.
Even in main screen with small video of youtube all I can see is blank picture on the small video window - the rest is visable.
On the camera app I also can see all controls. Picture taken (blindly) is as expected but no image on screen to aim for the target (extremely annoying as you can imagine).
Now I've updated to 4.1.B.0.587 without factory reset or I would loose the root and then flashed Real ICS Lite r4 also without resetting.
I don't think that Real ICS Lite r4 comes pre rooted or I would be able to do a factory reset and I don't even know if it would change this problem.
Anyway it may be from stock kernel compatibility (I also have some random reboots that I started to have before when I tried to tweak the stock rom).
After that and before Real ICS Lite r4 I followed the book:
Flashed stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 with factory reset
Rooted with DooMLoRD_v4 and Xperia-ROOT rev4
Flashed stock 4.1.B.0.587 without factory reset
Installed X-parts for CWM battery hack
Flashed Real ICS Lite r4 zip from boot with CWM.
I'm not really new at this as I had several android phones and I help several friends with theirs but I can't solve this one without some help or at least some pointers.
I've even installed the flash fix with no effect.
This bootloader lock and the short battery duration drives me crazy and this rom seems to help a bit.
Thank you for any help :good:
bump...!?

Hi all,
I can't post on development, just wanted to thanks slide for Gintonic 2.1 & new kernel performance is up, yet i still experience random reboots on my X10 mini pro.
what I did: SEupdate, format SDcard, then root & xrecovery, then reset/wipe and install rom & kernel, so I'm sure it's clean install.
But I'm still experiencing reboots ...
Regards,
Benoit

I have same problem in zombie panic kernel v 1.59 and v 1.61.
after i update to v 1.62, i don't had problem reboots. and everything it's ok.
Problem occurs usually when:
I use the phone for 10/15 minutes, that is running music or radio, or using the phone, like surfing and installing app from market.
I'll try the new 1.63 ...

Hi, No reboots for me 4 days into 1.63+2.1, I did similar process only difference is I use clockworkmod, someone else will have to confirm but I remember a while back all the roms where coming out with "no longer supporting xrecovery". As said dont know might be nothing but everyone seems to use clockworkmod now for flashing.
Sorry assuming you used xrecovery to flash rom since you mention installing it.
Well strangely, the update to 1.63 did it, no more reboot and I can even OC the phone ! It works great no reboot, even with wavy usage of GPS navigation with CoPilot live over the week end ! this is perfect !
I only have an issue with the radio FM app which is buggy : sound start on the hp instead of head phone, favorite station are not kept, frequencies are written in green on black which is not visible and RDS name is overlapping frequencies ...
Another issue, I'm still not able to fine tune auto brightness to have good reactivity when phone get out of standb by on shiny day it take 1/ 1.5 second for the screen to detect it need to boost lightness ... Same when I'm in a call and I want to use the keyboard to dial, it takes 1/1.5 second for the phone to adjust brightness... I've tried several tutorial from forum but it still have this small lag in brightness reactivity.
Other the phone is now perfect to me in 2.3.5 ! Thanks very much slade87 ! One note I don't like the boot animation some less shiny would have been welcome ...
Cool you got it all working, yes there where instabilities with cross ROM/kernels.
I like the new bootanimation but you can allways change it out if you dont..

Hello everyone,
I have a GT-7510(WiFi) and I flashed the USA version- ICS recently, but I get a problem when rooting it, as it keeps scrolling when I open the recovery mode, I found a solution to this problem, which is to install the bootloader from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41
but when flashed it, it worked perfectly, with the root, until I locked the screen, it gets blurry, and to get that off, I have to reboot it again, so I reset it to factory setting and tried 3 different ways, but they still have the same scrolling problem. Any one had such an experience or knows anyway to fix it?
Cheers,

Hi. This is first time I rooted and changed something to my phone's core system. I bootloaded through Flashtool and got in the newest kernel, ROM and GApps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613017 and my baseband is 77 (http://www.mediafire.com/?1oyztnqww22bgek). Things looked fine and my system was working as it should. But soon I was starting to see these bugs:
Screen moving from left to right and back at recovery menu on vol up/down press. Not a big bug though, still possible to work with the menu and read the text.
No lockscreen. Tried all the lockscreen options at settings, but power button still just turns the screen on and off. I can only see the lockscreen right after I reboot my phone and before I enter the PIN, the wheel works as I've set it but then I can't get into the lockscreen anymore.
Strange menu button functionality. Firstly, when I was in the home screen and pressed the menu button, a menu with system settings popped up. Now nothing happens, for both HW and SW buttons. Since the time it worked I was just messing with settings but I'm sure I didn't disable anything like that.
Browser and Google Play not working, Play says RH-01 error, browser just crashes. GMail works.
Tilt not working properly. It did after the fresh install, but now it works only for menus, not for homescreen like it did before. I've tried running a widesecreen-only game but it's being displayed in normal, portrait mode- with errors. Enabling/disabling the tilting didn't help.
And I believe that there are more bugs I didn't mention. I did everything as told in this article http://www.theandroidsoul.com/aokp-xperia-neo/, just with getting the newest links instead of the ones provided. I installed the Hallon version of AOKP and I was running GB 2.3.4 before, if that helps. And like I said- I am doing it for the first time so I am quite new to these things, so firstly sorry if I didn't mention anything important and please describe the steps about how to fix it a little bit more detailed. Thanks!
Hi..
That ROM is legend sometimes ago,and dont have problems like you said.
The step I did was like this :
1. Flash full firmware ICS(.ftf file)with flashtool.
2.Flash kernel
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Gapps
5. Flash Add-on if any
Enjoy

MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Global.ftf ICS firmware and hallon kernel flashed through Flashtool, then rebooted into system. Then in revocery I wiped cache, dalvik and reseted to factory, installed the newest AOKP ROM, installed GApps, booted into system. My screen is still moving from sides as the screen refreshes in recovery. But after booting, still the same issues persist...
Inside the old recovery,screen dancing is known issue,try Flash other kernel,no harm changing kernel.
Can you provide,Aokp ROM version and kernel you have..

I tried the CM10.1 and my recovery menu fixed but the bugs weren't fixed, so then I flashed the CM10 and my recovery menu changed again, now with black background and again, fixed animations. But then my device bricked so I flashed again the MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel.ftf.
Couldn't you just send me links to a working combination of kernel-firmware with AOKP? The requirements says I need baseband 72/77, do you have any links or tips for these? I've tried several combinations but just none really worked, now I am on stock laggy JB 4.0.4 and I have no idea what to try now...
Hi!
I have a chinese Xperia Z c6603 phone and I did a number of modifications to bring it closer to US stock phone. the phone had stock Android 4.4.2 without GAPPS.
Here is what I did in the sequence.
(1) Unlocked the boot loader and installed Clockwork recovery ROM. I did this in Ubuntu 12.04 desktop. Th recovery worked pretty well.
(2) installed CyanogenMod 10.2.1 "Yuga". The phone hung up at the boot and kept on circling around CyanogenMod.
(3) Used Sony Emma flashtool and installed Sony stock OS which said it was Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Obviously I used Win 7 laptop for flashing.
(4) After installation, I managed to boot the phone and I automatically got GAPPS. Even though what Emma installed
Everything seemed to work fine except Video recording. The stock phone had great video recording and now all of my video recording is screwed up. Attached please find a sample of a movie clip that I shot after flashing back to stock Sony Android OS. I do not see similar poor quality images when I take still images from the same camera. Therefore, I have a feeling that something is wrong with video recording firmware or codecs. So, I would like to get everyones help in diagnosing the problem and fixing.
Thanks
I have a couple of queries...
Me are coming out a couple of "errors" during the flashing of a firmware, it leaves the same errors as in Neflasher but here it looks better.
After flashing a custom kernel the PC does not detect the phone in fastboot mode, but if you leave me Flaseharlo.
I have also had enough problems with the UI (force stop) even making a flash of a stock firmware (after flash the kernel).
And the problem of "slow motion" with the Xperia camera, you see with Zoom and Blur, any solution for it? And how update system witout lost data/system?
Is this error normal with the bootloader unlocked? I did not leave these errors when I had not flashed the kernel...
Posted in completely the wrong section. Come on man, you know there's a Q&A forum.
I can't read what the text on the SloMo screenshot says, but I assume it's SuperSloMo.
In that case, the artifacts are "normal". You need tons of light to get decent results.
