My o2 xda mini s is dead I think :(

Right i need some help, big style.
Had me phone now for nearly a couple of months and it's been fine. Then today it all went wrong. Firstly the phone just did'nt work no signal or anything. Tried everything to fix but nothing seemed to work. So hard reset. Now the phone boots up and goes thru setup etc.. (but no 02 option??) gets to my today screen but when I choose anything i get a msg saying did i want to run unknown program etc.. choose yes/no. I have chosen all the combinations to get it to work but the phone sometimes freezes so i have to soft reset to get going but then I'm back to square one. I've downloaded the backup o2 rom but when i run it i get an error saying it cannot create a folder??? So at the moment i can use the phone sometimes but sometimes it freezes up 9/10 i cant sync with comp.
Before you ask I only have tomtom installed and afew themes, and the xda worked fine before hand.
Any ideas please would be a great help. If not I'll be straight on the phone to o2 to get a replacement.
cheers

Right getting really annoyed now with my phone :evil:
managed to get it working again after downloading the o2 rom and re-flashing. Since i started this thread i have re-flashed rom about 3 times!!!! My phone just stops working. No network signal or anything!!! All the problems started after i install wisbar, phones never been the same since. stoped using wisbar and started pocket plus. phone worked fine until i soft reset cus it frooze. when it restarted nothingworked. I'm just about to flash again for the 4th time. Only gonna install tomtom and eten dialer and afew games thats it. I'll install in basic mode but wont delete any o2 files as normally do. If it goes again after this it's going back to o2.
cheers

Well, simply send it back for warranty repair, what's the problem? These things happen, I'm used to that... had to bring my Nokia 6600 back 2 times during warranty year... :?

does it damaged the phone if your constantly re-flashing the rom?

Sorry to keep posting but is there an anti-virus software or something cus i think there must be something on my xda cus even after flashing the phones still not 100%
cheers

Keep in mind, by the way, that flashing your rom with any ROM other than one provided to you by your provider is grounds for voiding your warranty

yeah I know i just thought that may fix whatever problem there is. I think i've just got a dud mini s. Worked fine for a month but now it's gone crazy. I think re-flashing with the o2 rom 5 times and still no joy means the phone will go back.
I'll ring o2 first thing in the morning.
cheers

I bricked my 8125!??! wtf

hi guys
well i have a quite serious problem with my 8125
cpl of days ago my 8125 screen started disaligning and I couldnt stand it anymore... it would disaling after 10sec and I was mad about it
so i made a backup of main memory and decided to to a hard reset..
after hard reset, I got the WM screen and needed to tap the screen, I did the first two corners but after those i couldnt tap anymore, the touchscreen wouldnt feel anything.. so i softreseted it and got back to the WM screen and that alignement but this time it wouldnt feel anything- i stuck on the first screen..
okay, I thought maybe its a ROM fault (I use molski rom 2.26.10.2 with aku 2.3) and I tried to load it in bootload.. believe what, I found out that fuxing M$ made xda ROM archive down.. i went mad...
so i couldnt update my rom
than yesterday after reading sites and sites over net, I decided to open my wizard and try cleaning it, I did that, put cover back and all that stuff... and now my pc doesnt recognize the wiz when I connect it in bootload mode on AS
okay, so I don't know what to do, im out of ideas and I beg sum1 for help...
I got my 8125 from eBay last August and till cpl of days ago it was working perfectly.. Im not from USA btw.. ill try to send it to a diagnostic service in HTC in my country... but is there any other possibility?? would changing the touchscreen solve my problem?
plz help me...

The bootloader does not work with active sync, i think.
Active Sync requires to dialog with Windows Mobile, and the bootloader just has the basic code to make a simple USB conection.
You can probably use the Wizard Love ROM, which works great with any Wizard (even G4), and upgrade from there to any other version.
Notice that Wizard Love does not use ActiveSync at all, it downloads the rom through USB without active sync.
Please excuse my english, im spanish

can u plz PM with the link for the Love ROM download? thx

please help

To exit boot loader mode: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
With regard to restorig WM5 - I have the official O2 XDA Exec files for their last software release. But I think you said your's is an iMate.You could see if the iMate version listed here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades is still available - if not maybe someone has a copy somewhere.
Hope this helps.

hey dat was gr8 bro....bt m still stuck with finding of wm5 for my imate ...!!

thank you so much ..<!!

bro thankx for help i actually flashed my uni with kdskamal cooked wm5 bt my jasjar still gets dead on a greenish screen as it used to get before in blue screen wht m i supposed to do...??

Hi,
Try flashing with a WM6 rom (Tomal's ROMs are always good) and see if you get the same symptoms.
If you do then I suspect that you have a screen/cable connecting screen problem.
But lets rule out software first.

greetings bro...!!
i was up all night flashing wms
i used mtty software so many times that its commands are like hard weird in my brain cant get them out now....lolzzz
my stubborn uni was still stuck on the same dead screen but the only fun thing was that every time i flashed a new wm it used to get stuck on diff colours blue red green black...lolzzz
i scratched my head and i scratched my ass to an extent that i guess it started thinking lolzzz
i got some nice screw drivers and opened up my uni..
damn dis thing is wicked and messy it has things dat i dont know about n havnt even dreamd of in my stupidest dream i hav been lost in a computer motherboard with some good virus as my friend n some bad scary virus but in my uni motherboard i would neva..!
so i just fixed it back...n it worked for a while n den i dont know what tickled its ass.
busted again...!!
i guess ill hit the HTC service centre.
thanx allot bro
respect for ur effort and help...

Hi
for some strange reason the option "incoming com port" in the blue-tooth setting on my jasjar has disappeared. i was wondering if anyone else faced the same problem or if there is a way around it? editing registry n stuff.
because of this the previously paired devices are working fine but the new devices are unable to search the serial/com port facility on my uni.
i have tried resetting but still no luck.
any suggestions?
also i would really appreciate if someone could give me a solution for reading arabic and other such languages on uni.
(btw i am using i.e.TML 8.5 Rom and when i installed it at first the functionality was present so it cant be a ROM issue.)

...
lol... sorry abt earlier maite! i just realized the ridiculous thing i just did. i was supposed to post the reply to ur prob and then start with my sad story but somhow i managed to skip step one .
i m not expert on the device but i like it very much so i when i got one with my o2 contract i bought another one sim free just so that one would keep other company. as far as ur issue goes i have faced almost the same prob in the past and the solution was
1) rotate the screen 90 to get acess to screws at the bottom of the screen.
2) open the screws screws ... btw u might wana check if they are properly fastend before you try this step as i observed that if the screws are properly tightened this problem may solve itself... carrying on open the screws and that would detach the screen from the hinges.
3) where the hinge comes off strip open the cover a little bit and you will see two connections, one for the backlight and one for display (just like any other LCD screen.
4) press the big grip like thingee i.e. display connector with a flathead screw driver to assure they are properly in place. because in my case the connector had come off and hence was causing the system crash. although in my case the screen was only going blue after a while not the whole color palette.
just try if this one works because i m not sure if imate people are going to be any help in this case. i tried calling them a few months back for the lenscover and they said they dont support this device any more :S.

[HELP]Xperia X2 Death!

hi, i was trying to update my x2 with seus(sony ericsson update service), and, when the seus finish the rom download, and start to install it, the progress bar doens't start, and i disconnect it, and now, my phone don't want to turn on.
please help me.
and sorry for my bad english.

you should hardreset ( i think that should work tho.. ) im not sure how to hard reset an x2 but i think its similar to x1
put the pen in the small hole when you take the battery cover off and press at the same time 2 buttons on the front of the device.. ( or google it )

thank you, i'll let you know.

nop, it doesn't work :S

You could just try to run SEUS again, even while the phone appears dead. It may still be able to update the ROM. Good luck.

If your phone doesn't power on at all, then charge the battery
If your phone does power on but doesn't boot, enter bootloader (volume down + power) and SEUS again

i charged the battery, all the night, with a universal battery charger, and nothing, i cant enter bootloader, i can't do nothing, please, help me.

how can i do that, if when if press turn on+ volumen down, the cellphone don't do nothing?

no one can help me?

have you tried contacting sony?? explain to them what happened and ask if theres a way to hard reset the X2.
alternatively try to get it replaced. ive got a feeling that you update at your own risk so maybe contact them and say it died all by itself (dont mention you tried updating the firmware) and see if you can get a replacement. you should be covered by the manufacturers 12month warranty considering theyve only been making them a few months. if you dont have a reciept because it was from ebay or somewhere then say it was a christmas gift. if you do have a reciept then take it back where you got it.

i already did it, but i explain everything how it was, i told him that i was trying to update th soft, and i told him that i bought from ebay, he told me that the xperia has international guaranty, and i can send it to the sony ericsson repair center, but, i leave in dominican republic, so i want to try all that i can, before i send it.

thats good then. i think your best bet is to get the replacement. sounds like you have tried almost everything you can already. plus if you get a replacement you might have one with the upcoming new firmware already on it

yes, but now, i don't have de money for the shipping cost

they make you pay to send it back?? thats a bit unfair. might be your only option though. noone knows how to hard reset the X2 and youve already tried applying the firmware update again. dont think theres much else you can do.

New software update
Great news! Sony-Ericsson said they will be releasing an updated software at the end of this month. I would recommend strongly going to "www-sonyericsson-com-slash-update" instead, which was announced by the Xperia X2 product manager some time ago. If you update your phone with this new official software, I think your problem will go away.

website link?
By the way, how did you get to the seus (updateservice, not the official 'update') site to get the X2 software to download and install? I just tried going there and couldn't find X2 yet.

concerning hard reset try holding the "sym" key while it is powering up.

not sure what you mean... theres an X2 support page on the sony ericsson website. you can download the updater program and it will check your firmware and update it if necessary. the update software is the same for all sony phones so download it anywhere from the site. when you start it up thats where you select the X2.

finally!! i got my phone back, they send me a new one!!
thanks for helping me!

dam, i have the exactly same problem as you dude, my x2 died in a soft update, the thing is : i cant got a new one from SE cause i'm in chile and the was bought in ebay usa, i dont even know where can i send it back cause the man who sold me the phone just dissapear...lol

Help needed!

I have bought an Xperia X10 from Ebay and now get stuck on start screen shows me the start-up animation continous.What i can do my Pc sees my Xperia like Xperia X4 instead of X10 and doesn't find any driver.
Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a reset?

u Sure its a original and not a chinese copy?

first off i find it interesting that you joined jan 2008 and THIS is your first post!
if you've been here since then you'd probably have noticed by now that most people include as much information as possible when posting if they want their question answered.
And.. not to mention you probably noticed each forum has subforums with different categories.. like the one for GENERAL? I don't see Android DEVELOPMENT having anything to do with your phone not starting.
let's start over.
A. what version of the phone did you buy? unlocked?
B. what carrier are you using it on?
C. is there a SIM or a microSD in the device when you are attempting to boot it up?
D. What version of windows are you trying to connect your device to?
we might have a better understanding of what's going on if you could answer these questions for us.

Killerskincanoe i use my acount only for tutorials,downloading applications and roms and till now i didn't have any problems with my phones.
I bought the phone from Ebay unlocked and i used with Vodafone but worked fine with Orange..etc.
My phone is Prototype Ap1 and my Pc sees it like Xperia X4 but the phone is 100% Xperia X10 because i used few weeks and everything worked right.
I tried to boot it up with/without sim or card and nothing changes.
I'm using Windows7 64.
Krabman i don't know the combinations of buttons to try an hard reset and i can't install the driver.
Sorry for my english.
Any help will be apreciated.

I would contact SE to get the button combo for the reset as its not in the manual which only shows the menu path. You did pull the battery and let it set for a few minutes before putting it back in right?

Hi. (Hai noroc.. )You can try the following. Go to the official sony ericsson website, and download UPDATE SERVICE. Start it, then follow these steps:
-Remove and re-insert the battery (make sure it's more than half)
-Press the back (<-) button while connecting the phone to your PC (keep pressing untill further notice)
-Usually after the phone has been correctly recognised, it will let you know.
Even if it's a prototype it should work and update the SW.
My only concern is.. How the hell did you manage to buy an acceptance unit online?!..
And more.. WHY did you get it? It's a known fact that prototypes are the most unstable..
Anyway.. if the update service doesn't work.. It's most probable that is a very early proto, or a chinese replica like reb0rn said.

any news on this problem i have a non proto that hangs on activating screen also
