[Q] Help: Android "Settings" option is not working - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I installed Xperia Ultimate HD 4.0 from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207" to my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i device. But Whenever I am trying to click on "Settings" icon, I am getting "Unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped",even "Settings" icon is showing it as "com.android", I am not able to change anything (Like USB Debugging, MSC mode or Unknown Sources settings). My device is not rooted and unable to root due to these lack of change of settings (can't go in recovery mode), not able to flash the firmware. I also tried to repair with the "Sony Update service and PC companion". NO SUCCESS. Please help me. I am stuck and not able to do anything. PLEASE if anyone know the solution, HELP ME.

I don't know specifically about the Xperia Pro Mk16i device, but the settings app crashing could be caused by not properly wiping data/cache before installing the custom rom (as explained in the installation instructions there). You should try to do the wiping again from recovery.
That said; from your description I think you try to get to recovery from the settings menu. But it should still be possible to get into recovery by powering of the phone, then powering on and keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears. From there, you can wipe data/cache and also flash other rom if necessary.

[Q] xperia ray

hi bit stuck here iv got a xperia ray unlocked bootloader cmw and 4.0.2.a.0.62XYH-MOD-Last custom rom kernel 2.6.32.9-v3 iv been trying to get honeycomb blue circle battery with no luck iv got some zip files but when i try and apply them my status bar dissapears any suggestions would be extremely helpful
Is that the icon with the thin blue circle and the number in the middle?
I am unfamiliar with your rom and kernal but I know a similar battery display is available included in other roms like CM9 and such.
Others have had the issue of a vanishing statusbar depending on the CPU governor they are using? Try changing the governor to ONDEMAND or INTERACTIVE if you have the option.
Good luck

Ideally you should have created a separate thread for your query since it does not relate specifically to the topic on this one However,
I have found that the best way with these things is to keep it simple. There are two ways to flash a kernal to your phone depending also on the type of file it is.
For CM roms and kernals you can either follow the instructions provided on the CM website using the CMD window (if you use windows OS) or using flashtool v0.9.10.
Flashtool is much easier since all you do is install it, then install the drivers for your phone that come bundled with the software. After that connect the phone in fastboot mode (Hold the volume up button while connecting the USB cable) and then open the fastboot toolbox. You can flash the boot.img file that comes with all CM roms that way and then reboot the phone.
***Before flashing your phone you must ensure that you had "Developer Options" enabled with "USB Debugging". This allows for Flashtool and other methods to access and flash the phone with no problems***
CM10 boot.img contains CWM boootloader and to enter recovery you toggle the volume buttons while the phone starts up. The LED will change colour and CWM Recovery will show up.
Most if not all this information is available under the Ray development section of the forums here:

Sony Xperia Pro - wont reboot in recovery manually or in Rom Manger

Hi all,
Before I start I just wanted to say that I have looked for a solution for this problem extensivly over the last 48 hours on these forums and other sites before asking for your help. And I apologise if I have missed the solution in another thread somewhere.
My problem is this with my Xperia Pro
I have rooted my xperia pro using Eroot
and i have used recoverX to install custom recovery (i chose ICS one and did not tick developer mode)
I then downloaded Rom Manger and granted it superuser permission
and I then went to the reboot in recovery mode to make a backup, factory reset etc
but
the phone just boots up the OS again, it does not go into recovery mode, and nor does it manually either
I'm quite a noob at these things
Have I done something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can give

[Completed] Softbricked Xperia Z3 - locked bootloader, disabled USB debugging, no recovery access

Softbricked Xperia Z3 - locked bootloader, disabled USB debugging, no recovery access
Hey, I'm in big need for help in reanimation of my Xperia Z3. I've been trying to install CM 12.1 on rooted Lollipop 5.0.2. In TWRP, after doing a full wipe I've checked ROM on sdcard and started installation. After some time, phone prompted sth like: "there's no root acces, click ok to install SU". Guided by intuition rather than by wisdom I've clicked it, and here started my problems. After reboot phone was stuck on Sony logo screen. So, I've do some research and started to apply solutions one by another.
- After trying to manually access recovery mode, there's only a short flash of green LED and that's all, black screen. Propably there's no more TWRP aboard. Other ways to access it are blocked: I can't use any apk because of softbrick, and can't use ADB commands because USB debugging is disabled after wipe.
- I can access fastboot mode visible for Flashtool; when phone is in this mode, blue LED lights permemently. I've tried to unlock bootloader: program gives message, that there's no possibility of it on my phone. By the way, I would prefer to stay with blocked bootloader. I was trying to flash custom kernel, but there was an error. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was about lack of permissions, i think that it's also because of USB debugging disabled. The same error shows when I'm trying to flash any other ROM - stock 5.0.2, prerooted 6.0.1 or Paranoid Android.
Most of solutions in similar topics around the web tells to use recovery mode, Flashtool or ADB commands. All af that failed for me and I'm stuck with no ideas what to do next. Now I'm trying to repair or recover stock, unrooted ROM with Xperia Companion, but I'm really afraid of this process because I can't check battery or load it normally while stuck in boot loop. Maybe it will help, then I'll edit or delete this post. I hope you can help me somehow.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
BW
