[Q] Some please help me how do i recover my phone :( - General Questions and Answers

Guys im really worried wt to do....
i had xperia x10 mini pro with android 2.1
i rooted and flashed it with cyanogenmod7 v3.4
bt the radio wsnt wrking so i again flashed it with MiniCM Beta 2
after i rebooted cell from xrecovery once the flashing of MiniCM was done i cant access the touchscreen i.e it says touch the android to begin but when i touch nothing happens.....and also now i cant even go to xrecovery....i tried many times.....someone please help :'(

I would suggest just repairing (i.e. completely reinstalling) your phone using Sony Ericsson's PC Companion or Update Service utility.
What it does is wipe out everything and install a fresh default operating system. Then take it from there.
Would suggest using FlashTool if you want to root the device and install XRecovery. Its an all in one solution for beginners who want to root and do all the nerdy stuff Just search for it on the XDA forums.
Hope this helps. Good luck

problem with X10 down grade from 2.3 to 2.1

Hello...
plz! need a help ..
I've been trying to downgrade my x10 from 2.3 into 2.1....cos i faced the sudden reboot problem after this update. It occurs during browsing & when i show videos at youtube.com..some heat is also felt at the back of the phone.
so i tried the flash tool way to help downgrading...but the problem is when i Click the "X10FlashTool" icon, nothing is happening & it's not opening!!
so plz i need ur help with this..
notes:
- I've never faced this problem before the update!
-my phone is not rooted.
X10 has official 2.3?
^^
(Gingerbread) ,dear
I didn't even realize that SE was actually going to push an official 2.3 update (I gave up on my gf's phone when they said that they weren't going to release anything after the 2.1 dualtouch)!
(Also, thanks "dear". God, it's weird when someone other than old women say that to me)
Anyways, it seems that flashtool 0.3 only works on android 2.1 devices. I think you might be stuck since your phone isn't rooted though...
*edit* Can you try to "repair" the phone using SE PC Companion? Some other people got problems updating apparently but they fixed it through SE PCC

[Q] Boot problem with SE Xperia Arc S.

I've just unlocked bootloader and gained root on my device and i wanted to install a new rom. Everything worked great but when i finished installing and came across to the reboot it just freezed on the SE logo. I tried all the key combinations i came across the internet but as it seems im stack there. Anyone has a clue what can I do?
why are you in bootloader ?? you should be flashin roms with clockworkmod via recovery you need nothing in bootloader to flash a rom ?? hit me up i will try to help
hit thanks please
lg g2x

cyanogenmod-eaglebloodv2.5

my custom kernal
So man, i flashed the rom, everything was ok. . after the phone rebooted though, it never got into the new rom. . just freezed on sony ericsson. PC Companion can't do anything because of modified rom is installed. I just said bootloader just to say it`s unlocked. I followed instructions step by step, rom installed succesfull - - after the 1st reboot it just freezes on SE logo. Nothing more.
Ok fixed it at last. had to play around kinda more..
I used this tut from theandroidsoul - tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc
* Of course i downloaded the LT18i_4.0.1.A.0.266_CUSTOMIZED-UK

[Q] LG P500 help!

I am not a pro at installing android os. I am 16. I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10 (Android 4.1) on my phone (LG Optimus One) and I can't call. I use Simple Mobile. Whenever I try to call, it says,"Mobile Network not available". If you don't know a way to fix this. Can you show me how to put it back into Froyo 2.2?
Seems you are on old baseband and you have flashed a rom which is based on new baseband. Just search for ' old bb fix ' and flash this from your recovery. You will get back your network.

Nvm, I got it. I have the same problem for the Galaxy S2 model t989 too. It dropped in the water, then it can't read the sim card. So can you give me a link to old bb fix for S2 T989 plz? Thank you.
Ok, apparently, I installed a different old bb fix and now that doesn't work , then I installed the one you gave to me but then it didn't work. So I am stuck again. Please help.
goto settings, abouth phone and read what is your baseband, if it's v10 that is old, if its v20 it is new,
if it is old update via LGMDP to latest version 2.3 GB(if PC doesn't recognize your phone, boot into recovery, conect usb cable an from advance/mounts mount usb), install, reboot, now you'll have fresh oficial GB, root with Superoneclick latest version(maybe you will need to do it few times, for me it didn't go first time, if I remember it was at 3rd time or so), install CWM trough RomManager and after that you are good to go with what ever you want to put in that phone, anyway, all ccustom roms from 2.3.7 are for newbb

[Q] GSM support for alien rom on xperia J

[Q] Is there any way to get GSM network to work on cyanogen based Alien rom, in xperia j?
I just rooted my Xperia J 4.1.2 (.31) yesterday and went ahead with AVD which supposed to be based on stock xperia rom. But unfortunately its was a bit buggy. SystemUI.apk suddenly stops working and many apps kept crashing on me .. few other roms like slim were asking to be downgraded to ICS which i dont want to... then came Alien rom to my rescue. this rom is really clean not to mention the Acid Audio ENgine and stuff ...T____T I so badly want to keep this rom its ****ing perfect..!!! if only if the GSM would work, which while installing i didn't know that no cyanogenmod 10 based rom has GSM support !
Now i'm whining here because i just want someone more knowledgeable than me to give me the confirmation that that i have absolutely no other choice, other than going back to the AVD. LIke the GSM fix for the ICS baseband is there positively NOTHING out there for JB :crying:
You need to downgrade to ics first, then flash any cm10 based rom, or gsm.will not work.

getting out of alien rom and reinstalling AVD i screwd up and soft bricked my phone.
SO i had to use a pc to reflash the stock JB. BUt that has locked the bootloader again coz the PC companion can detect my phone again.
so just need to confirm certain things...
SO if i flash stock ICS then i will have to unlock my bootloader again right...? I presume i will have to root my phone too all over again... ? before installing the rom ?
PLease HELP!!!
Ok this is sooo irritating...!!! T____T
I flashed my phone with 4.0.4 ICS, st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf form Matej X's 4shared folder.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/25Mb7Dws/Xperia_J.html
the ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf from that folder when put into firmwares folder of flashtools, doesn't even show up !!!
i figured to root st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf from this guide http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
but not inspite of downgrading to ics, when i installed MIUI5 rom i'm i'm getting no simcard ad hense GSM is not working all manually scanned networks are shown as "UNKNOWN" !
Now i have flashed back to stock ICS rom...
when i flast the stock rom using flashtool the simlock.ta file gets ignored. what's up with that, wherever i have read about its not supposed to be a issue...
Can someone help me this is really getting frustrating....
Can some one help me find the link for ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf ICS stock rom which will be detected by flashtool...
MIUI5 was really nice, I would like to use it. Its based on cyanogenmod10 fxp 226 ... My issue with that is i use the instruction here to install it, but its condusing.
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/howto-install
It says "6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise"
Now in CWM what do i have to wipe...???
There are too many options to wipe....
1. wipe data/factory rest
2. wipe catch partition
Under advanced
Wipe delvic catch ...
Which and all am i supposed to wipe ?
Please bare with me guys i'm at my witt's end here...T____T
I just want one CM 10 based rom working for me... That's all ...
Here's the thing mate, AlienRom works perfectly fine for me. Just flash over stock ICS and Not JB and select Use 2G network on settings. Give it another try , oh and I highly discourage MIUI, it may look pretty but it is lag as hell. Browser takes sooo long to load and so lag

Hey Racer X,
I was thinking about the same thing... Alien rom is the only rom where i encoutered absolutely "0" lag, Brilliant work there man thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to flash it directly on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS because i'm not able to root ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf with any tutorial here...
SO far i have tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071817
and the other option being flashing to stock 11.0.A.7.5 and using Unlockroot.exe
But windows won't even detect the exe file and Google chrome's calling it a malicious file and won't let me download it .
SO i have sort of hit a roadblock with 11.0.a.7.5
So i was hoping i can flash alien rom straight on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS, which i rooted with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
Omg...!!! I did it ... :d
OMG... I just went ahead and did it... this is sooo f****** AWWWWSOME...!!!
Now i have Alien rom with GSM WORKING !!!:good:
I didn't even go for 7.5 i just stuck with .18 and went to alien rom 4.1.2
BTW can i keep the cyanogenmod upates setting to weekly or should i keep it at manual/???
I don't want to loose the gms connection just coz it updated on its own ... ?
What do you think ?
