[Q] Front camara not working - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi,
I bought used Xperia Ultra Z 6802 factory unlocked version from HK. Bootloader allowed: YES.
The problem: front camera is not working, front camera option does not exist!. I tried to reset factory settings and restart already. Reinstalled FW with PCC and SEUS but continue with the same problem.
FW Version: 14.2.A.1.136
Any comment for those who encountered similar problem?
Thanks!

More then likely the phone can't pick up the camera. Loose wire or its not in there at all a
Take it back ?

Flash .290 or .136 again and then read ny guide thread in the general section about downgrading and keeping imei http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593918
That will leave you on .532 firmware, I hop the camera will work for you on that firmware

You could try and do a repair from the Sony PCC app from a firmware that has a working imei. This might fix the camera

Reboot problem on Live with Walkman

So, nearly every Live with Walkman has the reboot problem. It means that phone constantly reboots when it goes to standby mode, or you're playing crocky 3D games. This problem causes missed calls and sometimes you just have no choice but to take the battery out.
If somebody knows some proved methods to overcome the problem, please share with us.

try to re-install your ROM
@212th,
Have you tried to update or repair the software? Both can be done with PC Companion, www.sonyericsson.com/pccompanion.
If there's no new software available, just unplug the phone and click on the repair option instead. Remember to backup your data before doing this (contacts, messages, calendar etc.).

Hi all!
I'm stealing this thread a bit from rebooting..
It's like this.. I update my wife Live with walkman to the latest "4.0.2.A.0.62 (Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman)"
And after that was done, the phone just refuse to start. When you press the switch the led lamp just blink green a couple of time but the phone wont start!
Any know what to do? I see all over forums that many has this problem..
With regards.
Michael
You have to update your phone to newest firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62, which fixes the reboot issue. This was a software issue, which was fixed by Sony Ericsson.
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS), and update via this program. This should fix the problem.
Copy-paste this link to download the Update Service
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1309763183/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.7.13.exe
Should also fix the problem of Bjerven, last poster. All instructions are inside the program.
Click Thanks if I helped.

Try using the Update Service(and not PC Companion) to repair your phone software and then try again.
Fixed the link in my first post also.

Ty for your swift response
I havent had any problems with my lww. It didnt even restart by itself automatically since the day i bought it. I must say im very satisfied with this powerful phone
Hey, have you tried flashing any other stock roms using flashtool. Try flashing different firmware versions and see if you can get your phone working again.
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Hi, no I haven't try any custom rom's in the phone yet. Will try that as a last resort.
With regards.
Michael
No, try stock roms first with different firmware versions before you try custom roms. Is your bootloader unlocked? Try custom roms only if your bootloader is unlocked.

I had never got this problem on my WT19i.
still restarting even after update to .62
Hello,
I am new here and bought the WT19i last march 2012. never had problem until recently (this october). the WT19i is now restarting like hell and cannot even be used. so i searched all over the net and found that i need to upgrade it to .62 (i was on .58 then) so to use the warranty i sent it and they upgraded the firmware to .62. but the problem still exist although you can now use it and the restarting was reduced, but it is still restarting. can anyone help?
it is on firmware .62
BB - 64
not rooted
locked bootloader (although it is unlockable)
can anyone help?
i am planning on installing 4.0.4 .587 but im worried about the performance, battery life and camera might struggle.
also is there really a difference in updating via PCC / SEUS and via flashtool using a stock .587 rom?
not rooted
locked bootloader

I find the .587 more battery efficient than older one. Try it its worth of the upgrade
If the device still under warranty - do send for warranty :good:

i sent it already. previously it was on GB .58. they upgraded it to .62. they say they are using pc companion.
but problem still exists. it still restarts it was just minimized.
on .58 it restarts constantly and unuseable.
on .62 it restarts randomly when taking a picture, calling / receiving a call. sending/receiving SMS.
so now i really plan to upgrade to ICS .587 but am not sure if upgradeing via PC companion and via flashtool has the same effect?
or will i try to flash .62 again using flashtool?

Reflash your firmware with FlashTool or WotanServer.

[Q] Apps affected if DRM is deleted

I'm thinking to unlock my bootloader in official way but in sony ericson dev site and in unlock/relock thread here tells that it will delete the drm in my phone. If drm is deleted, what apps will be affected if drm is deleted including sony ericson official app.
Thank you
Apps like track id,like in facebook(lot of sony ericsson made apps)..etc & warranty.Best ways are SEtool2 method or s1tool method.
TrackID works fine if you obtain it from the US or Sweden Android market. As for other SE apps, I consider them to be bloatware and had deleted them a long time back, so perhaps others can comment on that.
thanks a lot. i'm scared unlock using testpoint.
i read some information about se official app, and they said you can use all of se official app if you redownload them in US android market even your drm is deleted. is this true?

I unlocked my neo v using the SE Official Unlock procedure and still I was able to use TrackID, FB Likes and other SE bloatware apps. The trackID that i am using was the one on the market the latest version. Just make sure to use market enabler so you can download Apps that are available in US.
Hi, I'm facing this trackID issue but I haven't unlock my bootloader. I only root my phone and yet trackID won't work. Urmm. Help please.
Sorry for my english

[Q] Sony sk17i mini pro bootloop. Advice please....

Hello everyone,
I have joined here hoping to get some advice, so i will be as complete with my situation as i can.
So, i rooted my phone, installed busybox, root explorer and CWM. No problems so far.
Read up on rom installations and attempted my first one. Cannot remember the rom at the moment but followed instructions as in "back up", wipe cache etc....
Now the phone is in bootloop, whereby it switches on, goes to sony erricson screen, blue light flashes and then goes blank. I cannot enter CWM, i cannot switch off until i remove battery.
I have tried both pc companion repair and seus repair but both say no software for phone(pc companion) and newest software installed(seus).
I have tried booting into safe mode the old fashioned way, but no go and finally....i have shouted obscenities at my phone but that doesn't work either.:silly:
any suggestions, or should i assume that it is bricked and send off for repair if possible?
Thank you.
Hey bro have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
Flash stock .587 firm with flashtool.
Some roms are only for locked or unlocked bootloader. You need to see that before install a rom. And remember. Not all the roms are stable.
Follow step by step. Is recomendable before install a rom. Flash stock firm.

I went it alone last night and used flashtool to restore a stock rom that i had found and downloaded, and it worked apart from one thing..............the touchscreen will not work now
I have no option to unlock the bootloader according to my phone info, so i will try this .587 firmware you mentioned. Could you provide a link if possible and any advice on the touchscreen.
Many thanks!!

I have tried a few methods, relocked bootloader then used SUS to repair but problem still there. I used flashtool to compile ftf from SUS download folder, with the same outcome. recently I have found jellybean release from o2uk (as I'm from England) but baseband imei and imei sv are all unknown and it won't read SIM. I have tried ics firmware with same result, even have a few old cwm backups from months ago when phone had no problems but they don't make any change. I'm starting to think a bad flash may have damaged the TA
