Guys need your help. Writing because not very familiar with xperia p and don't know anything. coming from nexus and Samsung.
Bought my mom xperia and after she updated to jb phone started behave very weird I mean freezing from time to time touch screen not responsive and disconnecting call. In general became very slow as well.
What would be your advise do the factory reset and set everything one more time or flash the firmware from scratch. If the second one could you tell me where can I find step by step guide to do that.
Sorry for silly question but as I said I'm completely new to Sony.
Thanks for help

You should try both ways. I mean, take a factory reset and set everything again. If that doesn't work, you could download stock firmware from this thread if you want jb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333145
of from here if you want ics and gb roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938296
Here you can see how to use flashtool to flash new roms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74 . This tutotial is for arc s but the procedure is the same.
In any case i think ,since i read that jb on sony xperia p gives some problems, that you have to downgrade to ics (or even better gb since has good battery life and it's more stable) and wait for sony xperia p jb new firmware. Don't know when could arrive.
Thanks for quick response

Don't know how it was for htc mate. Could you give me some details?
You had to cheat a bit because bootloader was locked and it didn't allow you to downgrade just by plugging the phone and run the whole firmware flashing procedure but I presume that it's not a problem so I'll stop bothering and just try to do it if I'll have any problems will get back to you for advise

You just have to flash stock frimware again using flashtool and you are golden again..................:good:
Here a little usefull LordManhatten guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569904 you will find everything there is to for flashing..........
hi
thx for the reply
i flashed the stock rom kernel
from what i.ve been reading
sony via a broken update unlocked the gpu at it.s max speed making it unstable and causing this problem
one solution in my opinion would be to flash the stock rom that came from the factory
but i can.t find it anywhere
an other possible solution would be to write a custom kernel that would lock the gpu speed but i.m not a dev and i really don.t know how to do that
any sugestions?

You are the first person I've seen with the problem on here, so I dont think it is a wide spread problem
it is quite a big one
it.s only on the first gen of the ZU
a lot of theam don.t have it cause they have been called back in the service by sony
unfortunetly sucks at customer care in romania
they don.t even reply to your problem ...

I rooted my Z2 and lost DRM keys. One known side effect is to lose OTA updates. I'm just wondering if people have indeed updated the firmware from 17.1.A.1.2 to 17.1.A.2.55?

Just updated last than 5min ago
Me also. No OTA, PC companion.

To follow up on my original post. Having lost my DRM keys I was unable To OTA the update and also unable to update via the Bridge for Mac application. It notified me of the update but wouldn't proceed.
Lastly I flashed the ftf.
Has anyone noticed any lag? Most notably the pull down notification bar. It's more like a stuttering than lag.

No lag at all here.

Wow you unlocked your bootloader? so that means you will never be able to update it through PC Companion or OTA. You will have to re-lock the bootloader but it won't restore your TA partition. and the camera will not perform well under the low-light.

Camera is great under low light so far. Updating via flashtool is hardly a bother either. As far as I've read no one knows exactly the ramifications of unlocking the Z2 bootloader, only speculation based on the Z and Z1. I definitely don't see any problem with the camera and I had always turned off the Bravia Engine anyway.

You just bought a new one and want to install a different rom? Why don't you use the standard one for a few weeks and try to find out what you miss in the original rom. Then read a lot in this forum and make up your mind which rom you like and why you want to change it?
I don't understand the rush you have. Take your time.
I will get my tablet tomorrow (Sony Xperia Tablet Z WiFi only 16GB & Sony SGP-CV5) i bought this new set in Germany for 319 euro !
I will not install a new rom in the comming months. I did not do that wih my Xperia Z phone either.
but on the other hand it is your tablet and you can do what ever you want it.
Thanks for the reply. Will it work on the phone as well. Using this method?

I've rooted my tablet using the 1 click root method as well but the SU binaries fail to update after installing SuperUser, anyone know why?
All the apps that require root don't have any problems but I'm still wondering why the binaries fail to update...
Hey guys, i just got my M4 Aqua (E2303) and, i'd like to ask if is there any way to root it? I'd like to remove the bloatware etc..
Searching the same thing right now.. Also just sent an email to Sony asking bout that otg problem...

read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/recovery-twrp-command-line-t3198973
i did it on my girlfriends phone and it worked, so no more bloatware
but to do this you have to unlock bootloader and your drm keys are lost.
Well i don't know about you guys. I live in Greece, I've just checked my m4 and it has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe has to do with region? I don't really know..
Wish i had a solution to the otg problem as well... Sony said that it can serve as a Usb host, but the phone seems to disagree with the above opinion.. Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll check it out once i get my phone back from service..
