[Q] X10i Problem

Dear XDA forum users and administrators
I have an Xperia X10i who had some problems, it was rebooting sometimes by itself (android 1.6) and also the network interception was bad so I decided to upgrade to 2.1.
Backup sms's and contacts done.
Upgrade started with the SE pc companion, but the bar of installation to phone progress filled till "almost" to the end and it stopped with, upgrade failed, check battery min 50% and retry or contact support SE.
Battery check ok
Retried several times but no success.
(and not rooted)
Now the x10i doesnt boot anymore and I receive a yellow exlamation mark with a litlle phone icon.
Now I searched for a while in the forum and tried different things, to flash towards shipped rom (but i dont know which it is actually stupid of me that i didnt check that) also on youtube from people mentioning the forum xda developpers etc, no success.
Also tried with repair using SEUS, at the end of the progress bar, just to be finished but no it stops with same error.
Still receiving the yellow triangle exlamation mark and phone icon.
Has anyone any idea how to solve this please?
I know I need to install the firmware by flashing but I dont succeed, has anyone suggestions tips who had this also?
I know there are a lot of threads where this flashing solved it but in my case this doesnt goes the way it should do.
I had also some problems when trying to flash, it says cannot find the specified file or path, this i received also (wanted to mention it)
Is there a way to take an image (backup with firmware) of another xperia and "restore" it on this one?
Thanx in advance to all of you who wants to help me out.
Regards,

problems when upgrading firmware

Hi guys
Just installed the new keies software and it said the froyo update was out for my handset (galaxy s) it downloads the update really slow (takes about 20 mins) and then then after it reaches 100% the phone disconnects from the PC and the andriod constuction logo appears on the phone, then shortly after i get an error message from kies telling me the upgrade didnt work and that an emergancy repair is needed..
Ive managed to recover the phone back to working order, but is there anyway i can get this update?
p.s phone was unlocked with the tool from these forums when we had it, if that makes a differance

There are many problems with kies while upgrading the firmware. When you get the error - did you read the error? At times it says something about a "rapi.dll" file missing or any other file, just download that file and it should work.
Best alternative is download the firmware from samfirmware (stock) and flash through odin, it hardly takes any time.

If you want your genuine network supplied firmware i would use the Kies Registry Patcher as this allows you to save the downloaded rom in case of problems .
Failing that as advised the stock rom but that is not what came with the phone its generic non network non branded .

This is not a big deal, just click on emergency when it appears and kies will proceed, it might say that it will download the firmware again or might use the firmware that is already downloaded.

Can somebody point me on kernel for JVQ supporting Voodoo Color? Thanks.

Problems with update 2.3.4. My phone wont turn!!!

I tell you I unlock it first, then I had problems with some widgets and I learned some new updates.
Then, I made a backup with Sony_Ericsson_Backup_and_restore.
After searching, I root my phone with "GINGERBREAK" downloaded from the internet (GingerBreak-v1.20) and finally settled "Titanium Backup" to remove some applications from my operator, then install the CLOCKWORDMOD (do not know what for) and and finally I started to flash ...
After root, flashing with FlashTool_0.2.9.1.
I suggested steps for flashing and inserted this update: "LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global", with "wiped ...", which is to delete everything and set it to zero ..
Normal work for me ... I sent version 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 (thinking I would send to 2.3.4). It was great ... Then I appeared a notice of samsung (on phone), to install version 2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.283 I think it was that number) and when it started to install warned me he was going to shut down, spent 6 or 7 minutes and not lit. I tried to turn it on and vibrated, then vibrate him again and try to turn rang again, but soon ...
Then I could not turn ...
Once this happened I was like crazy trying to fix the COMPANIOM, but nothing ...
I flash again, this time with this "LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf" but did not recognize the flashtool as the first time coming out of the mobile code when you open the program loads and displays the model number of the phone, it did not appear.
Finally, press flash and began. (To this already, before, try reinstalling the Global LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic where my computer does not recognize, nor giving flash, just not recognized out in red letters)
When flashing with the latest LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf, the normal flashing until the end. But my phone just did not work. The light that was on the side of my phone was green ...
I sent a technician and he said he could not ....=/
I hope you can help and serve as a case to be resolved.
Thank you very much, good luck!

Lol dude, don't install things if you don't know what are those for

But i did it...u_U! So, now?

Yotaphone 2 reboots by itself after after the screen switches off.

Hello
I have a Yotaphone 2 running android 5.0. I have a huge problem with the device which is, that the phone reboots automatically all by itself after the screen turns off. The screen timeout is set at 1 minute and once the screen goes off, the phone reboots! I don't know what the problem is but its making me crazy!
Note: The phone does not reboot if the screen doesn't turn off. So I changed the screen timeout to 30minutes. Also note that Wi-Fi doesn't start immediately. It doesn't even start most of the time and is stuck at "turning on"! And also, the phone isn't detecting my SIM Card!
Hope someone can solve my problem.

Wow, seems a lot of problems here. However you provided very few info about your phone.
1) Where did you buy it?
2) What have you done after you opened it, OTA? Which firmware was installed?
3) Have you tried factory reset by wiping data in the stock recovery? (Accessible with Vol+ and Power)
4) Have you tried to flash from scratch the RU .124 firmware with YotaFlasher?
5) The phone was behaving normally before or it's doing this as soon as you started using it?

I got the phone as a gift

-The phone was a gift from "Aramex Company".
-Yes, I have factory reset it! Note: It wasn't possible to reset it from settings because it would always get stuck in "Shutting Down" phase and nothing would happen. So I hard reset it.
-I found something strange going on though. Whenever I reset it, It would restart (after the reset is over) and say that "ANDROID IS UPGRADED TO 5.0".
I think it is upgrading by itself to 5.0.
-No, I haven't tried any flashing.
-Yes, the phone was working fine for a while and then started behaving like this!
Cheers!
(Thank You for your support and attention by the way)

Video
Hello!
I have made a video showing what the problems are! Please give me your e-mail so that I can send you the "Dropbox" link to the video.
Thank You!

I think the first thing to do here is to flash a clean firmware (RU or EU) on your phone via YotaFlasher, search here on xda how, and then report back if it's happen again! Seems that the firmware it was shipped with wansn't so stable.

Flashed it!

Hey!
As you had prescribed, I flashed it! First I flashed it with Android 5.0.0-ME1.1.60 and after opening the phone I used it for a while and the phone was same as before flashing! There was no difference at all! The phone was restarting on turning screen off as usual, the WiFi wasn't turning on, and the SIM wasn't being recognized!
But then I flashed it with Android 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61a and the phone is still rebooting by itself upon switching the screen off and the WiFi problem still persists! The WiFi just simply won't turn on. It's stuck at "turning on"! The SIM isn't recognized either! Also, the phone is restarting from the inside now (It wasn't restarting before. I had to keep the power button pressed every time I wanted to restart)! But NOTE that the phone still cannot be just shut down, it can only be restarted!
I don't know what to do!
Cheers

Hi lgk350tr,
Why are you unable to make yotaflasher work, it is a pretty simple application. Have you tried to see instruction videos on YouTube on how to use it? Instructions are also available on XDA Developers' website. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/yota-flasher-download-t3480922 )
Don't hesitate to contact, for any problem!
Cheerio

Try flashing the hybrid modem mentioned in the general guide (Part 2).
Try flashing 2 times before rebooting.
If nothing helps, you could try lineageos, @angelll123 made a lengthy guide how to that in the post quoted here , also check my comment.

Is this what you mean?

I have attached a screenshot of the Yotaphone 2 General guide page, I want to know if you are referring to the text that I highlighted in the screenshot!
Thank You

I do experience similar issue, but only recently. I haven't done anything like flashing or upgrading my phone, it started by itself .
I am experiencing reboots whenever battery drops below about two thirds of its capacity. Also, charging and handling some load prevents this.
Note that my Yotaphone has both displays damaged. Still working though.

s7 edge started to freeze, bootloop, stuck on logo etc

hi. i have a brand new phone s7 edge sm-935f to be more specific if this helps
got it in june. and now from a few days my phone started to freeze during gaming lets say that is a bigload or something and sometimes even when i wanna browse the gallery or even do simple stuff like calling someone..... i don`t know what happend...
this happend since i did the update on december? doesn`t matter the last big update.... i`m on forums 3 days now.... aand since this happend i knew that people are having problems like this... but still so i did the big damn update... and this happend
and now i`m trying to downgrade my phone... dld the firmware from sammobile? the site that everyone says... don`t know
i don`t know what to tell you more guys. i need some help i can`t do this on my one.
as i understand if i can enter in recoverymode blabla it`s not hard bricked? so that`s a very good thing so this means that this problem can be fixed.
i can load the phone by doing some forced resets.
i did hard factory reset.
i did try to flash stock firmware with odin... and kinda still nothing... after doing this i installed nfs no limits to test the phone and still the phone frooze and bam samsung logo we meet again.
i really don`t know what to do anymore.
does it has an importance if the phone came with " hungary firmware " and i dld the uk version ? maybe this could be the problem the language? don`t know
i need some help please i`m desperate.
thank you very much
p.s sorry for my bad english
edit1: didn`t root my phone didn`t try to install a custom thing on it, i started having this problems like 3-4-5 days ago after i did the last update in december can`t remember it.
edit2: dld the romanian (orange version ) gonna see if this works.... but after odin finished flashing the firmware i had to force restart the phone so it can boot... i quess this doesn`t work, i`m gonna dld the 2 versions of firmware of " hungary " and gonna try with those 2... will update when i`m done. in the meanwhile please tell me how i can fix this faster
edit3: i did manage to play a little bit of nfs no limits with this romanian (orange version ) but it frooze and restarted... i will try to install the hungary firmware and see then.

odin stock firmware, get TWRP, flash a custom rom, problem solved. If that dint solve it, you might have a hardware issued which means you are out of luck, need to send in the phone.

i really don`t want to loose my warranty by installing a costum rom on my phone....
as i know if i do that will **** up my waranty right?
any other suggestions?

You mentioned in initial post you would be trying certain stuff. What's the phone status now?

Try the APB1 of 2016.03.11 from SamMobile

phone status right now is still in the same status... tried to flash the 2 hungarian versions.. nothing.... even if it boots if i try to do something it goes in bootloop again... i`m trying to run an antutu benchmark....
some guy that works in a phone service place told me this: he things because of the update samsung rolled out the phone rams cpu is starting to break... because the update wasn`t tested enough,,,, don`t know what to say anymore. right now i don`t have time for the phone. i replaced it with other phone till next year then i`m gonna try to make it work again.
jonrayne i`m gonna try that firmware next yeah.
thanks

up. i think i have to change my phones motherboard.... because of the new update i think becuz of the bugs maybe it ****ed up my phones components i don`t know. if nothing works i will have to do this change. it will cost me 120-130$.... do you guys know any other option to try and fix my phone? i need to try everything before i will spend this money

Hah, sitting in exactly the same boat as you after the last FW update, my thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7e-suddenly-bootlooping-dying-t3528827

up
any more suggestions?
or do i really have to go and change my mobo?
edit1: is there a way to test any part of the phone ? to see what part of the phone is fckd up? i tried to run an antutu benchamark when the phone worked a little bit but the phone went in bootloop at cpu test and ram test don`t know.

hey guys. i think i might have a fix for this sh1t
found on some forum i don`t know if it`s safe to post smt from another phone android related stuff if it`s safe i will paste here the post on that forum.
i found out that a guy with the same problems just like me and the same problems routine.... installed a nougat beta firmware and his phone worked after that. now i don`t have time to find and search a " valid " nougat beta firmware because i`m not home... can you guys please tell me if this is true or if somebody tried this option to fix this sh1t?
found out that many people have the same problem just like me after doing that update from samsung.
now my question is where can i find an " official " nougat update firmware to download. and try this because i don`t wanna go and pay 120$ to switch the mobo and then have the same problems.
saw a guy saying that there is one on sammobile but i don`t really have time right now to search for it. can smb tell where i can dowload one?
thanks
please smb reply
edit1: sorry for my bad english.

up
tried to update the nougat beta fw but nothing... it gets stuck at " erasing blue screen " think after odin finishes to upload the fw to the phone....
after that i flashed stock fw again... still gets stuck on erasing blue screen... or i get the exclamation mark.... tried to whipe cache etc... nothing

Same problem here! What is your phone status now?

sound like a strategic move by samsung to force u replace motherboard again and again until u decided to give s8 a try. then u realise , **** it. get a cheaper phone with similar spec.
