Hi all,
Was wondering if anybody could help me please.
I've just installed VinsosWeatherIcons which i got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7129605&postcount=6300.
Managed to install it ok and then it asked to restart device. Restarted device but now Sense doesn't load up and causes the phone to hang alot and not return to home page.
Have managed to uninstall the cab but am still having the same problems.
I've tried everything I can think of but still Sense won't load and the last thing i want to do is hard reset home.
Anybody got any ideas please.
Many thanks.
remove them ?? lol
you can do it the normal way through remove programs or do it through active sync,
p.s. the title of you're thread isn't going to attract much attention most folk on here are getting bored of help thread titles, no offence intended. and just so u no you can click the post number and it will open in a separate tab or window and you can quote from there just makes it easier matey,
Hi Demon_man,
Thanks for the reply and advice.
Managed to uninstall the cab but sense still won't load and am having the same problems.
just been reading another sense wont start thread, somebody said try booting your phone without you're mem card in mate, if sense starts then you just got to figure out what's on the card
Thanks Demon_man,
Have just read the thread myself and have tried everything that has been suggested on there but have had no luck.
Looks like a hard reset may be required
damn unlucky mate, sorry couldn't be of more help
No probs mate.
Thanks for replying and your advice.
try flashing a new ROM. it works for me. my sense didnt start on 2 occassions. flashing the ROM again worked for me.
Hi there,
i need some help,
i've got my dads sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro phone, sadly he passed away 13weeks ago
i tried to work out what his pattern lock was but did it wrong far too many times, now its asking me for his googlemail login details, well as u can see i cant ask him... i can not access any part of the phone to do a restore as i need the details to login..
so can any body help me on doing a hard restore as ive tried holding the left and right buttons whilst pressing the power button but no luck...
i need to get in to the phone so i can use it as mine is now broken,
can
anybody shed some light on what to do that s not going to cost me any money,
thanks
Tubby,
Moved it to the right forum for you buddy.
Why you can't ask him? At least ask him to put the password and then you deactivate the security lock.

If you re read my original post you will see that i had said he has passed away..
So asking him is a impossible thing to do

Oh, really sorry. Really, really sorry, I didn't get at first. Sometimes my english is awful. Do you know if he had recovery installed? Try to reboot in recovery and do a backup in case you want to keep any app or it's configs.. Then enter factory reset, reboot phone. Everything right, install App Extractor and recover the apps you want from the recovery.
In case he hadn't any recovery, I think the only option is reinstall Android, using SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
Again, sorry for the thing I said in my earlier post.

I dont know what he had on the phone, ive got his sd card with all his pics etc so not worried about losing anything,
i cant get into any thing on the phone as it says pattern entered wrong too many times please enter googlemail and password, well i can not get past that, all i can do it call 999 ...
ive connected the phone via usb to my notepad but when i click on the usb via my computer it says to insert a disk to disk drive??
i honestly have no idea what to do, ive tried to download the sony ericsson pc suite but where i use a internet dongle it dont download...
i dont want to pay for the phone to b reset when i know i can do it myself some how and places round here have said they'd charge £50-£60 just to do it!!!!
and honestly it fine, no need to apologize so much, was a simple miss read,
Hello there guys, well I just bought this phone today and already doing a mess with it.. its natural cause I study Informatic so It may improve my skills, Im from Venezuela so the cellphone has to be unlocked, which it haven't yet..
So lets start with all the mess I did, also too I think isnt "BAAAAD" I just dont know what to do at this point..
Well first I started "looking how to root", Cool I DID IT! I did it actually with "SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel"
Okaaay, cool... my cellphone restarting, look for the Application to find my "Unlock Code".. SURPRISE! "Code Not Found " AND A PLUS, My Wifi Connection wasnt working.. So I read the post a pretty bit more, then I read "download this Kernel, It will definately solve WiFi Problem".. Downloaded "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5" Okaay, my cellphone get on again, and when I touch the 2 buttons at right (The search and go back buttons) It doesnt do anything, YEEYYY, so as I knew I already got a "Powerful" tool, the CWM so I act like a dumb and accidentally pressed "Wipe /System" Cause I didnt know how to use properly the volumen +, - and power buttons in that menu.. Now my cellphone doesnt have /System folder.. at this moment Its on with the "Android System Recovery" I got 4 options..
"Reboot system now" (Wont work, will go till the SAMSUNG S II screen then freezes)
Apply update from sd card (Dont know how to use it, or even for what it works)
Wipe data/factory reset(It will bring the phone to 0, but still not working)
Wipe Cache Partition(? dont even know what the hella is this)
My phone has the 2.3.6 version, gingerbread.. Hope someone could help me before my mom kills me..
Thanks in advance, José
PD forgot to add, the pc isnt available to do anything with the cellphone.. it seems like it even deleted the drivers, or something..
just to forewarn you, people here are about to flame you for using galaxys2root and zedomax to do anything to your phone. NEVER go back to that site. It's why you are in the situation you are in.
Now, I don't really know where to start with repairing your phone, but one thing you should do is read a lot more here on xda.

First try to go into download mode,
Volume up+home+power button...if this not work try volume down instead of up...and let me know
This will help you get it back to factory setting. Read it all before you do anything.

When your phone starts up does it say GT-I9100 or SGH-I777?

Yes im at the download mode, its working properly!
Jackman:
Okay so I will download the 270mb file that looks to have System, and everything because its an COMPLETE OS..
I will tell you more about it in 37min(120kbps download)
So I will download it, then use odinv3 + cellphone in download mode.. Im right?
Another point for zedomax...epic fail
I would take it as a lesson to listen first and do then.. I wont let a guy who probably did a messy OS, or anyways(Im used to Blackberry Language) brick my cellphone! Im downloading the UCKH7-CL503881 then install it with Odin into my samsung, right?
Sideways guys... Are those "Unlock SIM apps" on Market trusty or untrusted? Should I buy an IMEI(25$) :/ Or could I get those one for free? My cellphone have the simcard locked..
Done!
Now its working again, thanks guys!! From here on now Im going to be careful with my baby and read first then do..
You're going to see me looking how to ROOT and how to unlock Sim Card in the few hours.. Topic can be closed and thanks for so much help!:laugh:
Hey man, I feel for ya... but you really need to search xda for some of your questions... the answers are there. Good luck, maybe credit will read this in the morning and will be able to help. The guy is an ACE!
Much love creepy!

Hi, please please please help... I guess im an idiot. And i "sort of knew" what i was doing....
I moved system tuner into the user apps out of sys and immediately got errors almost back to back as everything on my phone crashed, i tried desperately to navigate back and undo the process before the phone died but i failed and now im really scared its bricked.
I cant reboot its stuck on logo (no animation)
I cant safe boot (stuck on logo and says "starting rsd protocol.
Please is there any thing i can do, any way to reverse this, i was just gunna go into safemode and move it back. Do i need to flash over a recover? Can i even? Im so scared its bricked
I also have super user installed and i set it to auto allow but after the move this was changed? Default set to no when system tuner app asked to switch and that messed it all up?
Please please please help, sorry if this is bad section im not sure why my acnt is "new" its yrs old and ive even helped some noob programmers on here in the past, yes noobs can help noobs
So even if u have ideas let me know... Im scared
Android 2.3 moto atrix
Edit: yes im rooted, no custom roms. kay ima just sit here the next seventeen hrs waiting while i surf the web, thanks so much to anyone who even reads this! Ive done so much worse learning to "program" for android. I mean i cant believe i didnt brick it in the past, these things seem unbrickable (hope).
Edit2: wow this is gunna be a long one... Zero finds online... Zero :/ i tried taking battery out for a while didnt work... Not sure what that does anyway... Reset some kind of voltage dependent cached info?
Edit3: going to try to put this in a more appropriate section. Sorry i didnt mean to put it here :/ grrrrrr sry
You could boot in recovery and perform what's called a factory reset. That will factory reset your device. It should work as long as you got a recovery of some sort. Not sure if it will affect your root status but since your stock and rooted, you could just reroot.

Omg!!! Fuuuuuuuudnuts! Anything at all not related to recovery
Also any help on that factory reset? I have two copys of backup of cellphone. One on pc one on phone. I have titanium-backup on phone (i had it frozen using system tuner)
But... I have absalutly no idea whatsoever what to do... How do i even get this atrix into recovery? Ill go check but if u no offhand pls tell me. Also if anyone knows the exact problem i am need to know, because something this simple shouldnt require a recovery!!!!! Plus im not even sure that will work (( so if anyone knows wtf happened please tell me
Funny hpw the brain works... I was gunna make backup before doing this... But the extra 10 mins was too long ((((( anyone know a way that involves only flashing? From what i know two types of flashing exist and one lets you edit by bit which means maybe i can just move over a file? Im not sure what im talking about or which technology is used/or mainly used in the android. Anyway i will do a recovery if i have too but im gunna wait few hrs.
I think ii found a way using cwm.. But i dont have that idk why ........Its amazing.... New phone :/
Can somebody please help i tried factory recovery still no success ((
Im guessing its bricked... Which is pretty sad because the technology should let me fix this i want to know exactly what happened... I moved one app out of /sys that i put there ((((
I can enter android recover mode and nvflash and some others that i dont understand.
In android recovery i tried factory reset data and clear cache. Both of which should solve my problem.......
Im baffled it didnt work, should i buy a sd card and load my backup from pc onto it and select it in android recovery as backup? I always thought adb mode was merely flashing reprogramming read only parts of memory... I hence thought i could just use nvflash... I read alot and i still dont know if i can.... I know technology allows it... But.... I found this ?
