Question: How can I change my kernel without using pc connection ? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Recently, my phone cannot connect with the USB cables anymore. And I experienced a problem when using my ROM. That is: The Wi-Fi signal won't work. It does not turned on. I contacted the custom ROM developer, they say I must flash a new ROM. Therefore, I am finding a way to install a new kernel into the phone.

Does that means that I must get the device to the repair center, in order to fix the USB connecting issue ?

Have you tried booting into flash mode, and using fastboot to try to detect the phone?
If the phone is detected, you can flash original firmware through flashtool. Follow the general procedures for unbricking your phone.
Or is it some sort of physical port hardware problem?

The problem is, I cannot connected to the PC because my USB port on my phone is broken. Therefore I cannot connect my phone to pc

Repair center is the only option.

[Q] MTP issue with GT-I9100 2.3.5 (stock)

Well, I have a what seem to be an MTP issue with my GT-i9100 running stock 2.3.5 (XWKJ2) on XXKH3 baseband.
When I plug it to my mac all it does is charge without any notification whether on Debugging mode checked or without.sometimes it does state "MTP connected" on the notification bar but nevertheless doesn't do anything.
When going through setting>wireless and network>USB utils. it says "connect usb cable to use mass storage" when I do so, nothing happens e.i it's acting like nothing is plugged to the phone.
I thought it was a hardware related issue since the phone is not recognized by mac os x,windows or Kies.But when connecting it on download mode it does just fine with odin (flashed to ICS and back to stock without any issue), from which I guessed that it hasn't to do with the hardware.Nothing explicit on logcat or dmsg.
Cleaned the usb port, tried many cables and on many computers.
Looked for a solution on google, didn't find any clue.
Any idea?anything similar happened to anyone?

As mentioned above, whether i check "usb debugging" or untick it, it doesn't change anything. And on windows yes, I have working samsung drivers, on mac os x they are not needed since I just want to use it as a mass storage device.
Had you previously rooted?

Yes sir.my phone is rooted and cwm installed.
Do you have this issue on a non rooted stock firmware? Try flashing an official firmware and see if the problem persists and post back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
yep.it doesn't work either on stock non rooted.I rooted back the phone just trying to get a software workaround for this issue.
Sounds like a failure of the port to switch to USB mode. You may need to replace a part. I'd suggest you take it to service.

Yup this is what I thought first.But if that was the case, it wouldn't work on odin under download mode.But it's actually the case, meaning the port can receive and send data without any problem.
will cost you unless you can reset your binary counter with a jig and flash back to stock for warranty purposes.

Nope, dab says no device connected.I will try to upgrade to the new ICS with new kernel and baseband and see if the issue is fixed.

I doubt ICS will fix this, but it's worth a shot, I guess.
But before you do (if you haven't already), give this a try.

[Q] Neo V refuses to go into both flash or fastboot mode

Im in some serious **** here. I was on CM10 136 and everything was working fine. Today,i decided to update to whatever FXP released. When I tried connecting to the PC,my phone would just charge,not connect,as in,no pop up to ask if I wanted to connect my phone in Mass Storage. This is extremely weird because everything was working just fine and i've flashed like,a LOT of times,different ROMs and different kernels. And YES i know how to put my phone into flash mode and the drivers are all up to date. What is weird is that when I press the back button and insert the phone into the USB hub,the green light flashes just for a mini second and then the phone starts. Same thing happens if i connect in fastboot mode. Ive tried with multiple USB ports. Guys,Im worried sick here. if i take the phone to the service center here in India,they won't understand **** about fastboot/flash mode. Also,Ive already voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader the official way. Please,please help me.
PS-Ive tried searching for this and a couple of posts have come up with this same problem in other devices such as the X8. Ive also tried disconnecting all other USB devices and still,nothing works.

My wire is fine,I think,because,its the original thing that came with the phone and other phones with micro USB connect to the PC properly. Also,as ive already stated,Ive tried multiple USB ports both on the front and on the back of the PC. The ports areOK because i just bought the motherboard. Thanks for the reply.

I wiped my phone completely,it doesn't help. Could you further elaborate moving ROM files? Like,shifting system files onto another storage or something? Is that possible?
I meant to flash some other Rom . Did you try removing battery and then put battery and try flash mode.

Uh yeah,i did remove the battery and reboot the phone and try again. Also,I don't know if it'll help flashing a new ROM with the same kernel. I shall try downloading AOKP or something. The ROM should work since both are JB based kernels. Ill report back.
If it only charges and doesn't connect to pc even in mass storage mode then surely its problem in pc. Have you tried on diff pc?

Okay so I updated to FXP 138 and it now does go into USB mass storage,but the main problem still exists. it still doesn't go into Fastboot or Flashmode. I don't have a second PC so give me some time to confirm this.
Just try another cable.

SOLVED.
Pheew. I uninstalled the drivers on my PC and then wiped the Dalvik cache via the recovery. Connected it to the PC and bham,SEMC Flash drivers are installed. But if i stayed on flash mode longer than 10 seconds the phone automatically reboots and shows the FreeXperia logo. Something is definitely up with the kernel guys. :\
Flashing back to stock ICS for now. Thank you all for replying,helped me a lot.

wanted to unroot phone with mobile odin but it got worse

I really need help, please don't ignore this thread.
I wanted to unroot my phone to send it to samsung service so that they repair my nearly defect mini-USB port.
I reseted the counter and removed the triangle successfully. Then, because I can't connect the phone to Odin on PC
I decided to install mobile Odin and unroot it by flashing a stock ROM. And now I am stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo without
recovery so that I atleast restore from a backup. I can't even connect the phone to Odin on PC.
please help me!!!
Can you still go to download mode? If you can, then please flash a stock firmware/rom right away.
If you can't enter download mode, then a USB jig might be of great use to you

Thanks for the quick reply.
I can enter download mode, but my problem is that odin won't recognize my phone on pc
because of the "nearly" defect usb-port, well that's what I think atleast :S
nobody wants to help me :/
As you're rooted you have CWM app right?
Can you open that and choose reboot in recovery?
Or maybe try flashing the firmware again.

My problem is that I can't even boot the phone.. I can only boot in download mode but the usb-port is damaged and odin won't recognize the phone... But if I send it to repair, the triangle is away and counter reseted, they must replace the usb-port and flash a firmware so they are not going to be able to see the phone rooted or am I wrong?

Is the USB port physically damaged for certain or are you missing the drivers off your PC for it to see your phone. If damaged how do you charge your phone?

Mmmm not sure what steps a service centre will take to repair your phone. Perhaps your usb port has a bad connection as the pc knows something is connected to it, it just doesn't know what. Have you tried cleaning it gently with a toothbrush and a different usb cable?

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

MTPAP Problem - Xperia sola USB PC Connection

hi everyone,
my problem that I can't get my sola connected to PC.
I have downloaded mtpapgb.apk from google and install it. but still nothing I can't connect
does anyone have any idea how to install it or at least how to make my sola connect to pc?
I have tried most of triks with no luck
also different PC's, still nothing just charging
Thanks in advance
Bye
There are simply too many answer for your question. Please be more specific and give more detail. Are you using win7? Win8? Have you install proper driver into your pc? Is your rom stock? If not, maybe you need to setup usb connection in setting>storage. Or else maybe that rom is having issue with mtp. Lastly are you sure your usb cable in good condition? Sometimes even good cable can be seen faulty because of bad connection like dust accumulation, etc.
