has anyone rooted Xperia Pro (MK16i) with firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62?
sorry i am asking as i haven't done it before and i don't want to make anything wrong ..
MK16 roots perfectly with zergRush, no side effects.
//
Use the Easy Rooting Toolkit from Doomlord. There's a thread for it in the Neo Devel (and I think the Arc Devel) forum. Works beautifully on the MK16. For both versions of the official SE firmware. And without unlocking the bootloader.
I know, because I've rooted my MK16a on both firmwares using it.

Temporary re-opened. Please do not open other new threads about Xperia Pro while I find some more information. But you can keep discussion on this. Thanks.
...The Xperia Pro is a Neo with a keyboard, and most internals are common and tips will apply to both.
Even Sony Ericsson themselves handle the Neo and Pro the same in their official support forum:

[Q] Xperia Pro root
Hi Folks,
i guess my Xperia Pro (= Xperia Neo + keyboard, Android 2.3.4) is dying on me, it doesn't start anymore. I am actually not quite sure if this thread should really be here, as this may well be a general problem with SONY Xperia's, mods feel free to move it if so.
Here is what is happening:
Before, when i shut down the phone and connected it to the charger, a kind of BIOS screen flashed up shortly after that, showing 'SONY Ericsson' and then some simple graphics displaying the loading status of the battery.
Now, if i shut down the phone normally, these BIOS screens are not there anymore, and subsequently the phone can also not be started. Here is what i have to do get it working again:
- pull the battery
- wait for 5 - 10 mins
- connect the phone to the charger with NO battery inserted
- wait for the 'SONY Ericsson' screen, then insert the battery quickly
The phone will then startup normally. The following potential problems were checked:
- battery is fully loaded
- SD card removed, to no avail
- SIM card removed, to no avail
Phone is rooted, and has a 1 GB EXT3 partition on the SD card as ROM extension (SD Link).
Strange enough, the phone is also sometimes not correctly recognized on my laptop. If that happens, also SONY's support program for Windows, called 'PC Companion 2.0', is unable to connect to the phone when on USB.
What could that be ? Is my battery dying on me ? That's highly unlikely, because the phone is only 3 months old and i can run the phone for 3 days without recharging, if necessary (Thanks to root, removing facebook and the like, and the app 'SetXperia').
On the other side, the missing recognition from my Laptop would most likely indicate a problem with that BIOS being loaded from the ROM, no ? Do ANDROID phones even have something like a BIOS ? If so, is it made by the phone manufacturers ?
Thank you for helping me out, as i have rooted the phone i can not easily send it to service.
Regards
Christian
ADDENDUM / 0% battery problem related :
It may so happen that my problem is somehow related to the fuel gauge problem reported in this thread here, but i never experience a 0% loading state ? My batter never goes lower than 30% typically, and the restart problem will also happen if the battery status was showing 98% when i am shutting it down. However, it seems that the guys suffering from this do have a similar problem, i.e. the KERNEL not booting when they try to switch on the phone ?
Is it possible that some hardware part in the phone checks the status of the battery, detects it as too low and refuses to start-up, even though the battery is actually full ? But then, why doesn't it start with battery inserted when i connect it to the charger ? I first have to pull the battery, then it will start ?
ADDENDUM 2 / Power Saving App SetXperia messing with CPU clock:
As mentioned above, i am using the app 'SetXperia' to save battery. In 'default' mode it will constantly vary the CPU clock according to real need, in order to save on battery. Can this app confuse the fuel gauge, and my battery show it is fully loaded, while in reality it is almost down ?
Sounds to me like you removed an app that you shouldn't have. This happened to me the first time I rooted my Xperia Pro. Ended up in an endless boot loop.
The fix? Factory reset of the phone via PC Companion. There's information on exactly how to do it in PC Companion.
After it's reset, you can re-root it. Then be more careful about what you remove.

Hi, thanks for the input, but i am pretty sure this is not the case. Here is what i removed, using Titanium Backup:
SONY Sales Demo
Facebook 1.7.1
Facebook Setup 2.0.A.0.2
Facebook Calendar Sync
Facebook Extension 2.0.13
Facebook Notification Publisher 1.0
Facebook Post Viewer 1.0.A.0.3
Fun & Downloads 2.2.3
Moxier Pro 2.4.0
Music Unlimited 1.0.2
SEMC Facebook Proxy 1.0.A.0.7
Games and Applications 1.0.A.0.6
Street View 1.7.0.4
Twitter Extension 2.0.9
UEFA.com 1.0.0
Video Unlimited 1.2.0
Xperia HotShots 0.1.1
Anyhow, i have made a backup of all of them in Titanium before de-installation, so i could restore them if you really think that any of them could have an influence on whether the KERNEL (BIOS) will start after being shut down ?
Hi, here an update on the situation:
It seems as if the problem in fact IS somehow related to the defect fuel gauge, because i could make the following observations:
- sometimes the battery capacity in Android is displayed to be better than 60%, but if i shut the phone down and connect it to the charger, the battery is shown to be almost empty. This is a clear hint that on the Android level there is wrong information on the actual remaining capacity of the battery, most probably a result from the defect fuel gauge ?
- the problems are getting worse if i do recharge with Android running, especially when being connected to the USB port, and they are getting less if i recharge the unit using the charger, and shut off.
However, it is still confusing why the phone can not be restarted even if the battery is more than 50% full. In this case it will sometimes work to start the phone if i simply connect it to the charger (not USB on the Laptop, that hasn't worked for me so far) and wait for a few seconds, but in most cases i do have the use the trick described above, i.e. pulling the battery, connect the charger and insert the battery then.
I would really appreciate any comment from your side on how to solve that problem. Being a professional sales manager in the machine business myself, i am touring literally the whole world, and i need a working smartphone ! If this problem persists, i will have to switch back to Blackberry (which never let me down).
I could possible accept a shorter life time of the battery in some cases, but it s....cks badly if i can't even switch it on !?!
Will using an extra strong MUGEN battery pack help here ? They offer one for the Xperia Pro, i guess with almost 2,5 times higher capacity (3400 mAh) ?
Update:
Meanwhile i have sent the phone back for repair, more precisely to AMAZON's service partner for mobile phones in Germany, w-support.com GmbH.
I had told them to make a backup of all my data before repairing (costs 21,- €), but now they have sent me an email saying they can't do it, and were asking if they should continue with the repair nevertheless ?
If these guys can't even access the phone for a simple backup, i expect something must be seriously wrong, mot likely the hardware is defect ?
Will report here when i get it back, just so you know what the problem was.
Best Regards

RootXperia.zip, flashable in Clockworkmod. Works on every firmware on every Xperia 2011 device. From 2.2 to 4.0.3.
Hello,
1. Thank you very much for being so helpful
2. I am very new to Android, so please refer me to the definition of the word you used if it has some sort of special Android meaning (even rooting, since I'm not 100% sure I understood what it means)
3. My problems are as follows:
A. The battery runs out really fast. is there a way to: 1. Stop applications who came with the phone from starting and restarting automatically after I close them without me using them? 2. make the battery last longer? (not talking about closing Wi-Fi when not using and stuff like that)
B. The sound is really weak when I try to hear music with headphones. I saw someone recommending using AC!DAudio but that requires rooting. I am afraid to do that since I don't understand anything about it and since in Sola, rooting requires unlocking bootloader and Sony stated on their site that it will remove responsibility. Is there any way to increase the audio without rooting? or a way to "install" AC!DAudio without rooting?
C. I saw online that it is possible to find you're phone if the GPS is on. I tryed leaving it on, and without using my device at all the battery lost 25% after only an hour an a half. Is there anyway to leave the GPS on without wasting that much battery? or a recommend way to find my phone that takes less battery?
D. Charging takes a really long time. Is there any way to change that?
Phone is as it came from the box. Didn't update or change anything (besides allowing unknown sources for applications and installing several applications).
I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or broke any rules, please tell me if I did since I wouldn't know since I'm new here,
Thank you all very much again,
opeller
Hi, i dont know why you got so many problems (some of them strange like loosing 25 % of the battery), but:
1. You can do a hard reset to refresh the device, may be something is torturing it. That will remove a program, which can cause this battery behavior.
2. Stopping applications is a no no, because it can cause the phone to work slow and waste more battery. Android is made that way, to have images of some app in its memory to start apps faster.
3. The other thing in my mind is if you battery is wrong, you can try a service center too. They can measure the capacity and tell if its ok.

first, thank you for you're replay
1. how do I do that? does it involve any risks? (I don't mind loosing applications I have on the phone, I can just redownload them. nothing else I need there except for the phone list which is on the sim card )
2. are you sure? since I saw some on the runnig applications list that I didn't need. for example, I finished watching a video and MXplayer, which I used to watch it, was still there. I didn't need it until the next day. It took some ram (maybe it was like 30 but with a device who has 512 and always has at least half of it used for system stuff, it is quiet a lot) so I closed it so it wouldn't slow down my phone down an wouldn't take some of the battery. Is closing stuff from the running applications list really is bad? can it harm anything? are my reasons not ok?
3. That is an option too. I do hope it isn't since this device is only 2 weeks old. Is this not a problem all Sola users face?
thank you again,

1. No risk mate, hard reset is an option in the phone, it erases apps and returns the phone in new condition, like when it was bought. I think it is in restore&back ups, look in this menu personal data/erase. Click on it and on the next screen you must tick erase again and voila.
2. Using the RAM is not bad mate, dont worry. In the past i had a task killer and the phone was not better.
3. Many users who upgraded to ICS facing something like this - battery lasts less than in Gingerbread, nut what you mentioned above "25 % in hour and a half" - its strange imo mate.

1. Ok, if I'll see the need to do so, then I'll try it.
2. I'll give it a try for a day
3. This happend only today, when I left the GPS on. The phone was also very hot when I cheked and saw it lost 25% after an hour and a half, but I was in a cool place. Today was the first time it happend. I'll see if it happens again tomorrow, when I'll leave the GPS off.
4. I see that you use Sola two. How did you get around the low volume when hearing music problem?
BTW I saw people complaining that the volume is low when talking on the phone. I do not hace this problem. Talking on the phone is just fine, but when hearing music the volume is very low.

I flashed custom roms, thats it.
I'm in this position too, I've tried everything trying to fix the battery drain and am definitely going to buy a new phone in the new year. In the meantime, has anyone found anything to help? I've done all the usual things, minimum brightness, remove many internet apps, use power management, airplane mode at night, reinstall latest upgrade...
Also, I want to raise the volume throughout the phone also, I've tried a few custom ROMS and found *NO* difference whatsoever...
I have two Android phones (an Xperia Neo and Xperia Ray) which I rooted and unlocked the boot loader.
They currently run with Android version 4.0.4 (Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf, Build no. 4.1.B.0.587).
I have loaded them up to 100% and use them....
Now I realised at BOTH of them the same problem: after decreasing to a accu load between 31 and 34% the power does not continue to decrease as usual but directly jumps to a load level of 1% and 5 seconds later Android starts the automatic shut off.
Remark: I am not sure if this phenomena also was before I rooted the phone.
So what is going wrong here? Is it a problem of old accus (which I doubt as both have exactly the same symptoma) OR is there a wrong system software installed (for root I had to change the kernel and flash it back again afterwards) that manages the battery power (which is the name of this module??) OR does actually BOTH mobiles have a defect hardware (which I doubt) or ...?
I also 'calibrated' the power management by leaving the accus off the phones for more than 1 minute.
Or is there anything else I should do here?...
The main question: Which kind of effect can cause such a 'jump of power' technically? I cannot imagine that any of those three possibilities can cause such a symptoma, does it?
What it cannot be: Any wrong working app installed or process which might suddenly consume lots of power. Also cause there is nothing big or special installed yet and GPS, Bluetooth, etc. (except WLAN) are off.
Thank you for your help and advices!
PS: I am not sure but I doubt that this problem existed before I rooted the phone (2 weeks ago)...
There is no app or progress that can cause something like this. Looking a "battery too old" problem for me.
One of My phones did this a couple weeks ago I just stocked it up to an old battery

Hi all,
after 3 days of searching, maybe I've found something sounds good, but I'll stay in test mode for a while and I'll keep you in touch in case it is really stable.
What's happend :
3 days ago I did a simple ''factory reset'' and since then I experience a continous reboots after a minute or two alive in Android official 6.0.1 and a bootloops when processor cames really hot.
At this time on internet you can find lots of people with the same issue and all of us without any solutions at all.
Now here the list of my tries :
- Did again a ''factory reset'' with Sony companion and Sony flashtool Emma : no changes
- Call Sony for support? Warranty still okay? : do not waste your time, Sony wants your money and thats it ! (take a try anyway, you will see by yourself)
- So let's root the phone! Even if you do not know what to do, you can find looots of Tutorials and lots of very geek competent guys to help you (better than Sony support anyway), thanks XDA Developers !!!
- Even if I've completely erased all partitions with TRWP, when flashing and back again in stock Android with xperifirm : still no changes !!!
Now, during those tries I've noticed that the temperature of processor is dangerously high, and that for every startup process.
You know, at the end I think that the bootloop (I guess in that case only) it is made by temperature mainboard automatic protection.
Anyway, before to play freesbee with and go to buy a new one, I've tried to :
- open the back side (very simple but all operations should made very carefully)
- unplugged the battery for 15 minutes
- take off processor's metal protection to avoid heat retention
- plugged the battery again
- close the back side and started Android
Since then the phone is still alive !!! Just working as it should...
I'm trying all I can do to stress it to see if any problems happend again, installing back all apps, using Root features to uninstall useless Google or Sony apps, restet the phone several times.
The processor still heat up every time you do something or restart, but I do not experiencing sudden rebooting or bootloops again at the moment.
As far as I'm concerned, I would say as well that it is a processor issue, but I'm not a scientist, so I guess this apply to different Xperia models and not only to M4 Aqua Dual.
DO NOT FORGET that this is not a real solution. I just did the only thing that you cannot normally do with that kind of phone : unplug the battery.
I hope I can give some good ideas to all of you, or maybe a good way to a solution .
Happy to share,
Flaximuss
More information please
Well, now I'm sure it is hw problem.
A guy solved this doing some trick:
www(dot)youtube.com/watch?v=mgCSPAmJld4&feature=youtu.be
and it works pretty nice, for a while.
I'm more interested in your solution, how far it didn't bootloop, etc.
Could you tell me how is your phone doing?
I betrayed my Sony Is there any way to bring it back???

So, I will explain what has happened.
I received a Warning Statin "Unfortunately, Hike as stopped" followed by "Unfortunately Google has stopped" "Unfortunately home has stopped"...
So I shut my phone off, which I used to do every time and restarted it.
My what happened next is something I haven't experienced before.
My Xperia, just displayed "SONY" logo and nothing else. I know to flash and I have done that many times before. So I was lethargic that I could easily bring my sony back to the world. but that didn't happen anyway :crying: :crying:
I read so many threads in XDA but none of them could have faced what I'm facing. Coz my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 will not vibrate so I couldn't able to differentiate Hard and Soft boot.
After waiting for a restless 24hours I tried to open my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 that's when the real problem started...
I found a video that if we remove the battery and reinsert it then everything will be fine.
so, I removed the back cover.
Flip opened that Copper Layer (I really don't know its purpose though) and unplugged 3 battery plugs. That when the things began to get out of my hand.
After reinserting the plug I started my mobile once again only to see the Sony Logo and not the blue waves. So I tried to restart the mobile by pressing the Rest button near the SD Card Slot only then I came to know it stopped working.
So once again I unplugged the battery and this time I had that copper layer trimmed and replugged the battery.
And this time no Sony Logo too :crying: but I could feel the temperature of metal on the board rising to its peak. I don't know what to do...
Is there a way to make my Sony work again?

If you don't want to disarm your phone I got one solution:
1) Press the screen with your thumb and the back panel with index finge, near the nfc logo
2) At the time of starting it helps sometimes.
It is an hardware problem.

Hi, the phone has started up, however, is there any way to make the solution last?
Please it would be really nice that there is a chance to recover the phone.

Of course there is a way to save your phone, but nowadays the process cost more than buying another M4 AQUA used. You can do "reballing" or a little "reflow" in any refurbishing store if you want but I recommend changing that phone. It is not so good to use mate.
Hello community, I have problems with my LG X Power (LS755v6), the UI is giving some not typical errors (the UI has stopped), the UI appears and disappears and it doesn't allow to use other applications, five minutes later the smartphone freezes and restarts but when it does it doesn't show the LG logo and it doesn't start normally it only shows the notification led blinking. To make it work I have to press (Power, Vol+, Vol-) together and then it manages to turn on and charge the system, until the same thing happens.
Another thing, once I did the reset to turn it back on the battery was at 60% and when I reset the indicator showed me 37%, I have many doubts. The model is LGLS755 (ZV6), Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.22+, Sprint (US) and comes unlocked with Box (I'm using it in Latin America). I'm afraid to make a hard-reset or try to install the factory ROM because I read that it loses the SIM unlock, give me some ideas, what to do?, going to the cellphone technician is my last option (is expensive here), thanks.
PD: I haven't installed anything strange (I don't think it's malware), I haven't modified anything in the system, I'm not ROOT, I haven't changed permissions for ADB, I haven't crappy apps, nothing. It is my first phone and so far it had worked very well, with a great battery, has two years of use and an average of 92 cycles of battery charge, the only battery app I use (ch.cerebrum.ChargeCycleCounter).
I'm sorry if I made the post where I shouldn't or if I broke a rule, I'm new hereI'm sorry if I made the post where I shouldn't or if I broke a rule, I'm new here.
