Hi, newbie here. I have trouble with wifi. My phone is Xperia P
I installed aospa rom, at the beginning everything was fine but few hours later I couldnt turn wifi on. I didint know what to do, so I just factory reset the phone. Same thing happened.
Then I installed Blur Line (CM 11) rom, same thing happened again.
On advanced setting it says Mac adress unavailable (idk if this is related with problem)
I searched google and xda for possible solutions.
solution 1 is installing sqlite editor and changing "wifi_display_on" value to 0
this didnt work because it was already 0
solution 2: settings/wi-fi/advanced/wi-fi region code
this didnt work too. I select Turkey (I live in Turkey) but whenever I exit settings and turn back none of the region is selected.
solution 3: copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin file to somewhere
it is on motorola atrix hd thread, so idk if this can work for my phone too. I downloaded it but havent tried yet
Do you think it can work for my phone, or is there any "wifi fix file" for Xperia P
What sould I do now? Should I install another rom (slimkat, pacman, miui v5) or is there any solution for fixing wifi?
Thanks for replies.

My phone was on stock rom, rooted and cwm installed.
First I unlock bootloader via flashtool, then I flash the boot.img via flashtool
I flash the rom and gapps with cwm (wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset) but then I flash the rom with twrp (wipe data, cache etc) again.
i dont know if I wipe some important data
formerly I installed some stock base roms via cwm, and I didnt wipe anything extra this time
I backuped TA partition before unlock bootloader. Is wifi work if I relock bootloader and flash stock rom & kernel

Seems like some kernel modules are missing.
This is a sure method-procedure that I follow for flashing a new ROM on my and on my friends' XP.
1)flash stock JB firmware(ftf) using flashtool.
2)flash boot.img from the ROM you want to flash, using flashtool.
3)reboot in twrp using power button during boot up.
4)wipe data, cache, dalvik.
5)flash ROM + gapps and reboot.

Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

hi,
I was on CM 9 nightly http://www.cyanogenmod.org/devices/sony-ericsson-xperia-ray
and just tryed to upgrade for the newest version there !
(copy last version to sd, wipe cache - dalvik, flash, reboot)
And now, i'm stucked on freeXperia logo
cant even flash something else (assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")...)
Have you flashed the latest kernel (should be included in the zip)?
If this doesn't work, wippe data/factory reset and flash it again.
If you get the getprop error, open MetaInf-com-google-android-updater-script and delete the first 3 lines (they start with getprop). Pack zip again and flash it :good:

well, i dont know for the kernel : i did (like for my GS2) install zip for sd card, then choose the the CM9 version. Isn't the kernel flashed same time?
i tryed wipe data/factory reset, the flash doesnt work
the MetaInf-com-google.... solution works : i can flash it again without the error.
Thanks bro!
Kernel must be flashed via flashtool or fastboot. How to do that (flashing the boot.img) is in the tutorial for installing custom roms/kernels in my signature :good:

No, xperia phone aren like sammy phone which got separate recovery and kernel partition. In fact, by default stock, xperia phone doesnt even have any recovery. The kernel must be flashed via fastboot before flashing rom. Recovery integrated into kernel ramdisk.
Hey everyone,
So after struggling around a day or so, i finally unlocked the BL, rooted and flashed recovery by artas (thank u ^_^ for this awesome tool).
So i would like to know what are the do's and don'ts when flashing custom roms.
My usual procedure is.
1.Wipe data and cache
2.Flash new rom
3. Wipe data and cache.
4. Reboot phone and wait.
If there are additional steps or uneccessary steps. Do point out
Thanks
U should flash cwmtouch.IMG and not use artas cwm after u unlock bootloader..artas cwm doesn't seem to work with some ROMs I've found..
I do it this way
Wipe dalvik cache.. Cache
Format system
Wipe data factory reset
Flash ROM zip.. Flash Google apps..
Reboot

Could you link me to the cwm u mention?
Also I've been stuck on PA 4.3 and cannot access my sd card via usb, drivers always fail installation
Ill revert back to stock probably and then re-start everything...
if you flash kdz to stock make sure to use a rom that acknowledges the bootloader is unlocked or the adb reboot oem-unlock wont work.
i had that problem and just went back to v20b on my p769 then flashed recovery and rom and everything worked fine
So here's what happened:
1. I unlocked the bootloader.
2. Flashed Nemesis Kernel using Command Prompt on PC.
3. Flashed Honami V2 ROM (without making a backup -__-) tru CWM. Wiped cache, dalvik cache, wipe data/factory ___, even tried reflashing the ROM but no luck.
4. And now I'm stuck with the boot logo. (where it shows "May the source be with you")
Can any body help me or have anyone had this issue? I also tried flashing the stock rom using Flashtool but it gives me the error that my drivers aren't properly installed. (and I've tried reinstalling the drivers.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to bring my Xperia U back to life.
EDIT: I used my friend's PC to flash the stock tft file. Thanks for the suggestions bro!
its soft bricked.dont worry.i had same problem i tried my friends pc installed flashtool n drivers on it n flashed stock ics using it and it ws ok.

Get a zip of stock based rom, mount usb from cwm and transfer it to internal storage. Flash it. You should be fine.
If that doesn't work, install flashtool drivers, get into flashmode and then flash a stock rom. Root it and install cmw via flashotool.
You will be ok... I have at least one soft brick every 3 months... But i'm just plain stupid sometimes...
Hello.
I want to instal parandroid on z ultra and i have some questions:
1) where can i found aospa/cm11 ZIP (from step 2 of instalation guid)
2) witch 4+ version is stable (nonbeta)
3) on z ultra have i the lateral bar with the home buton?
4) on this rom can move the app to sd, because on stock rom i can't(phone is rooted)
5) can i instal it on a full stock phone(only bootloader is unlocked, no recovery,no root), because i guess that the boot.img (from step 2 of instalation guid) is a kernel with recovery.
Thanck you.
Ps i tried to ask Beerbong or in his thread but i coudn't because i don't have 10 post.
1) In the CM11 thread
2) the boot.img is inside the CM zip
3) I don't understand
4) I don't know
5) Yes. You're right. That's why you have to flash the boot.img first, so you get Recovery

Oh, that's PIE and you can use that too if you want to.
I instal parandroid especialy for that option.
i don't find cm11.ZIP. I find only cm10. For 11 i find a link which link me to a sit where i can chose betwen more cm11 and i don't know which chose.

The boot.img in the Paranoid Android zip is fine. Extract that and flash it using fastboot/FlashTool. You'll now have a recovery with which you can install the Paranoid Android system. Access the recovery by powering on the device, then holding Volume Up as soon as the LED turns green.

As above for thr boot.img
Carbon has PIE as well, but build 18 seems a little unstable
One more question.
I read în s4 and nexus 5 parandroid threads and i saw the instructions in the next format:
Samsung
update to the last custom recovery
wipe data/factory reset
flash rom and gapps
wipe cache and dalvik
Nexus
1. UPDATE RECOVERY
2. FACTORY RESET (If coming from another rom or stock)
3. INSTALL ROM
4. INSTALL GAPPS
4. REBOOT
5. CUSTOM KERNELS MAY BREAK ROOT, SIMPLY RE-FLASH SUPERSU
At the z ultra they said that we need to instal rom and then to factory reset and then wipe data and dalvik.
Anyway. What make me suspicious is that factory reset after instal rom. I talk with somebody and he told me that i will brick my Phone if i will do that. So i want to do next instalation Guid:
1) flash a New ftf file(the last)
2) flash that boot.img( what i find in parandroid.ZIP)
3) factory reset.
4) wipe data(i saw that i can do it At the same time when info factory reset, because în twrp, At wipe option i can check all data(inclusive dalvik)
5) instal rom
6) instal gapps
7) do a again Point 4
8) flash su
9)it's done

Yes it should work.
Most custom ROMs only include cwm recovery.
It froze at the boot logo as the kernel and system were incompatible, if you had of rebooted (vol. up and power button) and entered cwm again you could have made a nandroid and then installed the ROM

No. After first rebot it was compleatly frozen and i couldnt enter in recovery.
So if the kernel was incompatible, i think the kernel is for another version and i will ask on parandroid thread because it have no post ubtil 30 sept 2013.
