After rooting with kingroot, the rear camera doesn't work. The front camera is working, but the rear one only shows a black screen and will not take pictures.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this issue?
Please and thank you.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by how android of phone. I rooted with kingroot, and didn't go any further. As soon as the phone came back up, the camera only shows a black screen on the rear camera.
I'm currently running 5.1.1 on the .319 build. I haven't downloaded the recovery for the Z3 because I'm worried about it not working on my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Repair you phone for pc companion tutorial is here please repair:
The companion program tells me that it wants to delete everything on the phone but will leave the sim card contents alone.
Could I get around this by making a backup on my computer? Would Titanium be able to keep a backup of all of my apps so that I won't lose my info? Will I lose root?
Thanks again for any help.
Just copy all your files on a drive or your PC. And yes, you can back-up using TB. The PC companion would probably do a factory reset, so you would lose your files in the internal memory, and most definitely, root.

Can I format the SD card without it ruining my phone?
will this mean i loose root access or anything like that?
Will the phone itself index the SD card with folders that it needs?
--
asking since im unable to repair the phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0.
but am able to reinstall the firmware using seus.
well i just tried it out, formatting the card seems to work fine, looks like the phone itself creates the folders it needs when it needs it.
not sure how i can see if the phone is still rooted, since superuser and all that is removed from the sd card now.
---new---
so if anyone could tell me a way to see if the phone is rooted it would be much helpfull.
and could someone say how cellphone repaire shops see if the phone is rooted
try to install superuser.apk and a terminal and then type su in the terminal, if you get #, then your phone is still rooted. but i think it'll be rooted, but the only thing you're missing is the superuser app
okay.
I´m asking since im selling the phone, and the guy would like it unrooted.
so atm it´s as unrooted as possible ? since we got no recovery for it yet.
We do have recovery, just not custom recovery.
Use either PC Companion or SEUS, plug in the phone, select Update, it'll tell you that you have the latest version already, but there should be an option to force the update / repair, which should put you back to the default firmware without any mods

Now, first and foremost, Hello to the XDA community and this would be my first post. I am having issues with my Xperia Neo V and I can't find a solution for it.
I admit that this is a stupid mistake on my end so let me start my story and I am hoping to get some assistance from a reputable community such as this.
I was installing some games via Google Play and I realized that my phone's internal memory gets full kinda fast as it is where files are saved by default. So, the genius me, tried to remove some stock apps that may contribute to useless disk space using Titanium Backup. All went well and I deleted a couple of stuff and it worked fine then I decided to restart it to factory settings (without doing backup which I regret up until now). I had several malfunctions after it rebooted again:
Whenever I am trying to go to phone book, I am unable to just press the number to make a call. I need to select edit contact first before calling
The middle button (the one with a house Icon, probably called Home Button, does not respond at all so I having a hard time quitting apps
the worst part, I am unable to connect the phone properly using USB. What happens is that when I plug the USB, the charging symbol on the battery bar shows it's charging (like plugged to a wall jack) but the computer does not show anything, regardless if it's Media transfer mode or Mass Storage mode (mass storage shows an empty drive in My Computer). I tried using other usb cables and other memory cards and apparently, it does not work. Other USB cables that works on other xperia neos yeild the same result.
What I was planning to do initially is to update the firmware (currently on 2.3.4), but updating via WiFi shows it's updated, and using the PC Companion does not work.
I know I deleted something that I should not and I'm at a loss. Later, I will attempt to connect my phone in the PC Companion to try and update it to ICS connecting it to my private wifi. Hopefully it would do the trick.
Another work around that Im thinking is to look for someone that does have a backup of the apk files so that I can restore them again in my phone.
Can anyone please assist me on this? T_T
I recommend connecting the device to your PC companion and using the repair option. If that doesn't work, try flashing a stock ROM from either Wotan or get one somewhere from these forums (I'm sure there were a few in the development section)
Good luck

Why don't you just flash an orginal rom (.ftf)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
And then (after you get what you deleted) you just need to get them into your phone. If you were able to uninstall it, you!re having root. So send it to the phone via bluetooth or download from somewhere via wifi (if the USB doesn't work as you told) and using some file explorer move it to their directory and reboot. I think it should work

~sir...I cant find where that repair option is..
~by the way, the wifi option to connect looks pretty useless, it seems that you need to connect via usb on the "pairing" stage...
Ok here's my idea. Get any stock based rom from the dev page (there's a list in the sticky posts) and male sure it's the proper version. Then download the zip file and open it up. Find system/app or system/data/app or something similar inside the zip. Then simply copy and paste the apps from there to your phone, and don't forget the proper permissions.

If you can put the files into SD card, then use whot venoma333 says and do it through SD card - you can move a lots of files together (for example using ES file explorer).
Or you can try to connect your phone to S(E)US or Flashtool. If it would work, that will be the best for you And I think, that in PCC is some option to "re-flash" your phone (like somebody told here). On the top it says if your phone has the newest firmware version or not. Click on on it and you'll get a window with reapair option
Ok, I'm going to attempt to flash and I reached the xperia website (unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions), and based on the instructions, I checked if "Bootloader unlock allowed" is set to yes, unfortunately, my phone says no.. Can I still continue the process??If not, is it still possible to do manual firmware update without unlocking the bootloader?
There is no need to unlock bl for flash process. So forget that page, for now.
You mentioned pc companion, what happens when you start pc comp. and connect your phone(turned on)?
If it doesn't connect to pcc, go to device manager on your pc and tell me how is your phone named there and does it have yellow ! mark next to it?
This is the last thing that I think could possibly work, does anyone know an android 2.3.4 iso nandroid? I think that's the best way to do it for now..I am unable to do the hold back button while restarting, does not work for me

Nothing happens in PCC, it will show that no devices are found. In DM, it shows:
-Sony Ericsson sa0102
|_Sona sa0102 ABD Interface driver
I was trying to update it using PCC, it recognizes the device after I mount the memory card.
What I have done, I restored the system using CWM using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1630348.html
It worked, however, since the carrier and model brand is not the same, I was unable make my sim card/carrier to work.
My hope now is to get an ISO file for android version 2.3.4 which is from a generic phone. I live in the Philippines and my carrier is SMART telecommunications.
Apparently, the update from the link is for a Verizon phone
If you want alot of space, use a small ROM. Alot of devs have come up with stock Xperia GB ROMs that are easy on memory. To fix, You'll need to flash the entire phone with a stock ROM. Then flash a custom ROM. Besides that, you do know you can transfer apps to SD.
After attempting to backup my Sony Xperia S, there was an error. So I tried to install an update instead. This went wrong too. Wtf?
Now, when I want to start up, I see "SONY", all normal, but then I see an exclamation mark with a triangle around it with a smartphone under it... probably bricked? I've had this before, but then I used Sony's update Service software to re-install the whole thing and it was gone. But now, I have 2000+ photo's on it, and I'm not going to re-install it from scratch like I did before... Obviously. When I hook it up to PC Companion, PC Companion detects it, then undetects it. Detects it, undetects it. Etc...
So the question is, is there anyway to get all the media off with it being in this state? The photo's are precious to me as I use it as a digital camera. All the photo's also include all the photo's from my last phone. And the phone before that...
Can anyone please help me out? I will take it apart if necessary!

Thanks brother. We'll have look into it.
Gentlemen, I couldn't find a section for Xperia Pro, please excuse me if this is misplaced.
I rooted my MK16i from ICS 4.0. according to a guide here on XDA forum, with no problems (from 4.1.a.435 .. i think).*
Then I installed system tuner and backed up the bloatware and what I believed was obviously named as packages that support them. Things were working great and the phone gained some performance improvements.
UNTIL, I installed Viber and Skype, and niether were working. I thought I would fix it by restoring all the backed up services and apps. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, it became useless
THe phone keeps rebooting. I get to the XPERIA loading screen and then it restarts again
I tried to connect it to the PC to flash another ROM with the Flashtool, but it is not recognized. All I get is in the computer screen a removable disk drive, that is not accessible.
Note: I didnt update the firmware after I rooted.
Can anybody help?
have you worked with flashtool before ? because there hardly could be any wrong with flashtool. use the latest version with proper drivers.
and since you have rooted phone, have you unlocked your bootloader ? if yes, then flash any custom kernel, go to CWM, then place rom zip on sdcard and stright flash rom via CWM.
flashtool should work though. you can try on different computer.
If flashing a kernel or installing custom ROM sounds a bit out-of-reach, you can always go for the repair option in PC Companion. It worked for me when I had soft-bricked my Neo V (it wouldn't go past the SONY logo). However, be advised that this repair option will erase your phone's internal memory. Also, your phone will be brought on the latest stock ROM, so you will need to root your phone again.
Good Luck!!! :good:

I tried to do somethingn like this but sony companion itself cannot detect the phone either.
My question is, is there a brick that cannot be fixed? I took it to a shop today and still they cannot fix it.
Have you tried to use sony update service?
How are you connecting your phone to flashtool?
Can you show us log from flashtool?
New development:
Now I tried to flash the phone with flashtool 32bit rather than 64-bit and it detected the phone! I could even flash the only firmware in Aeonworld's post Here.
Now I can see the phone connected in my computer.
However, the phone still won't boot but when I power on it gives black screen and after a short while, the led on the side becomes green.
For some reason though, I cannot continue with the rooting steps in his guide.
So anyways, after the second reboot, not the first for some reason, the phone gets detected in PC Companion, and I installed the update and now it is working again :victory:
Thank you all for your support.

Good to hear that bro!!! R&D always makes a man better
Hi Z2 owners,
I'm running the .402 (only) rooted firmware.
I plan to upgrade to the .314 one, but would like to keep all my "need-root" apps.
If I upgrade with update center (about 87 Mb), then root, what will be wiped -or not?
Should I save all my apps with TB then restore?
What is the best way to proceed, please?
Thanks in advance.
I would suggest downloading .314 firmware then flashing system only (not kernel) via flashtool but un checking wipe. Of course doing a back up anyway just in case. Some people may have other suggestions m8 so it maybe a good idea to get a consensus first if you are unsure. You may get more ideas here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775411 Anyway good luck m8:good:
You can safely update to 314 firmware via Update Centre; your data will not be wiped. You can even do it with PC Companion, but root will definitely be lost after. If you lose root after the update, just re-root with this.

Hi sorry I don't have permission to post in the thread you show,
I already done all the steps shown in the post but when running install.bat,
The cmd just keep showing waiting for the device, not doing anything,
Is there a special way to connect the phone to pc?
Have you checked "allow usb de bugging" in phone settings? Also it's a good idea to restart your phone before connecting so you get the "trust this computer?" message on your phone and don't let the screen go to sleep either. Also check to see if you have installed the adb drivers for your phone m8:good:
