i just wanted to make this thread to warn people. my phone just broke. wont turn on. and i have tried everything!!! the same thing happened to mssmison's old phone. and we think its just from flashing so many times that we just wore out the rom. i have probably (no lie) flashed my phone 60 times if not more. so i just wanna let everone know to go easy on the flashing as you may eventually break your phone!!!
i honestly dont think android messed it up i just wore the phone out.
android is not the cause of my phone crashing. so you can flash android to your phone, just dont go all buckwild on it and flash it like a fat guy at dunken donuts

Wow...
Sorry to hear about that.
Thanks for the heads up.
Sorry to hear that So it won't turn on at all, nothing? reboot button does nothing? Stinks man =/
I've noticed my phone sputter a few times when I was flashing, or rebooting, like I'll have to press reboot a few times before it responds. I always wonder how long this thing can possibly endure.

Hey guys,
I stupidly dropped my phone in water and awaiting it to dry out, i cant take it back to the store yet as havent changed the ROM back as cant see the screen. Is there anyway of doing it without having to know off by heart the on screen instructions. The screen doesnt seem to repond to anything either. I get the vibrate to tell me its on and that about it, sometimes the SE logo in full oclour before it all blurs and becomes a mash of colour.
I have the stock ROM ready to upload (as kindly retrieved from here) but dont know how to go about changing it now.
Cheers

yep best wishes to ur xperia！
I say, do it by yourself !
First buy the LCD screen (example) Then watch this video and go on, just be gently and organized
Normally I would fully charge the phone before flashing anything, but since Cyanogen just released his new 4.1.6, I wanna flash it right away ! My battery has 67% left. Can I plug the phone into the charger and flash it ?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can charge your phone and flash at the same time. I always do.
I can't tell you from a tech perspective if it's okay but I can speak from personal experience that it doesn't do any bad. I do it all the time
the only reason they say to have a fully charged battery is so that during the flashing process your phone will not die and possibly leave you with a brick but as yellow (ffff00) said you can flash with your phone charging. i always do too.
Lol, yes you can . Have fun with new version.

Your phone must be over 30% when flashing a rom

oooooh you say it so sternly. how do you know have you tried flashing a rom when you have 31% and it went fine, but when you did it at 30% it died lol. actually i have read this as well.
I never flash while charging. I'm too paranoid of power surges causing a flash to go ugly. And I've had equipment on good quality surge supressors die from power surges before so I don't trust those either.
Therefore, battery power flashes only for me
Flashing with the cable is always the best way to go.. If something goes wrong you are going to have to plug it in anyway
But i have not had any problems thus far.
I see most of the Rom now request the you should have atleast 50% battery life left

get your RUU and WM butt outta here, this is Android, a system that doesn't treat it's users like idiots...... hehe sorry, I do NOT miss using RUU on my HTC Kaiser. I hated the fact that it absolutely would NOT flash your phone unless you had at least 50% batt.

Lmao also when someone asks if it was you, curse them out and be like "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BLAME ME?!". They'll feel stupid for themselves and better yet you'll feel stupid for them because they actually believed you. HEHE
nope deny deny deny, caught on camera, wasn't me, just act like you have no clue what they are talking about or my personal fav just ignore them and start talking to yourself about something that makes no sense at all.

So just because the LED doesn't come on to show the phone is charging in recovery, it is actually charging? I always flash when my battery is about 20% so I really hope it is charging

I can't boot to CM Recovery 1.4.
But I can boot to the SPL (Three Skateboards with white Screen)
I have a white G1 specs are:
8GB ADATA SD Class 6
Partioned at: 2GB EXT 2 32MB Swap Rest FAT32
I am updated on the newest radio and the SPL.
I am running Cyan 4.0.4
The Scenario:
I was playing COD5 on PS3. I went to Ifap.to on phone while it was on Wifi. So then I was trying to skip through the video and the phone obviously froze up and then it shut off and reboot itself. It never got past the T-Mobile G1 screen.
Then I tried to go to recovery by holdinh home + power and it doesn't work. So I held down power + camera and it goes to the three skateboards so I know I'm not bricked(not yet) What can be the issue and what would I have to do to fix this.
Please email me or post here whichever is convenient to you.
Thanks,
I WILL DONATE BEER MONEY TO 1ST PERSON WHO HELPS FIX MY DAMN PHONE!!

If you wireless tether excessively, it can mess up your battery due to overheating. I recommend removing the back cover and setting it on some cool metal. (I used to set it on top of my computer, didn't keep it cool, but kept it cooler)
I was in settings/storage, and tapped on apps. The phone lagged then opened the apps section. I tapped the back button and then the phone shut off and restarted. I am rooted, twrp recovery, but using the stock rom.
Has anyone else experienced this at all? Wondering if it is a widespread thing, or not.

Cool story bro
I've been getting way too many random reboots. Something as simple as turning off wifi or turning it back on will cause it. I'm not sure why it does it and I'm fully stock, unrooted. I've seen suggestions about clearing the cache and I've done that, but the problem continues. I'd say it does it on average once every couple of days.
Now that's a cool story, bro.

I've thought about wiping and starting over, but I'd rather find out that it's a known issue with a fix before I go through all of that work. It's not like I've been flashing ROMS and messing around with the radios or anything like that.
