Hi I humbly ask for your help for my xperia V, Its my first time to use android and my current phones are iPhone and Blackberry and never had issues like this.
My xperia V phone is not rooted and has the updated firmware of 9.1.1A something. Hongkong Phone, Has the updated firmware from the box, so everytime I restore/factory reset, no need for updates.
My problem is my phone keeps crashing and restart like crazy 2-3 days ago. I downloaded an app named 'Root External 2 Internal SD' without even realizing my phone is not rooted because its my first time. And after that maybe the crashes started, everytime I restart, restore, my phone is just the same nothing changes. Restart after 1-5 mins and sometimes now crash when I am navigating around. In airplane mode, the phone works great and its not dying or anything, also I can use the phone as an mp3 player, camera, wifi, all good.
I just want an opinion from an expert I will post videos too, if needed.
My questions:
1. Did this app 'Root External 2 Internal SD' killed my phone because it was not rooted?
2. Do I need to root the phone to a fresh new ROM ?
3. If I dont need to root the phone(Warranty is not an issue) How do I restore it fresh from its stock Rom/Old ROM I feel I damaged it because of that application?
Any suggestion will help, please help me!!

There was no error in reset and factory reset because when it finishes up until the menu then it will start crashing. Does battery affect the ROM? Battery is in discharge. Airplane works like a charm. For now I use it like an Ipod touch. Wifi works, gps, all of the other stuff works except on Phone mode.
Im new I cant post screenshots

I have the same problem on Xperia T. I found that it stops reseting with baseband version last digits 57 and just loses the connection. On every other version of baseband it resets or falls in SoD.
I have the same problem in my XV..it works like a charm when it is in Airplane mode.
pls help

Today after restoring a backup with recovery my touch screen died and i had to return my phone to Bel Company / Vodafone.
Because they have a crappy service (they dont't want to give me a replacemend phone) i'm out of a phone for 3 ****ing weeks
I got a feeling that it had something to do with the recovery touch kernel because i got after restoring my backup the grey triangle and got stuck there for abou 15 minutes before it rebooted. I'm not sure if that's the reason but my guts says it.
So now there will be 3 hard weeks for me without a smartphone :crying:
I have this problem 50% of the time when I switch between different kernels ,flash them thru fast boot and such. Relashing kernel that matches your kernel created by recovery always fixed the problem for me

Like I said I have this problem 50% of the time when I switch between fxp and stock ROMs/ kernels. When I go back to stock from fxp I also have an issue with memory card. Flashing back to stock ICS ftf works for me

Odp: Today my Xperia T died (touch screen)
I had the same problem when jumping from JB to ICS a couple of times in an hour, changing kernels, ROMS, basebands etc etc etc. Just try flashing stock ICS twice (I don't know why it worked for me. First time - no luck. Second -YAY!) without flashing any kernel and boot. Then check if everything works.

My phone is at Vodafone now, have to wait 3 weeks before i'll get it back :crying:
After having the triangle, I noticed there are some "tad" daemon things and something about /system/etc folder permissions problem in the log. This could be related to TWRP. But nothing for warranty repair. I have the triangle everytime I forget to unmount system partition in recovery.
And the triangle appears always, when I try to change composition type.

I'm dropping mine at t-mobile today cause my touch died too. Flashing stock kernel/Rom, re locking bootloader and flashing using SUS also did not work.

Btw I was also using kernel with twrp recovery. Maybe it has something to do with it. ..

Maybe it's trying to reflash touch firmware in some part for some reason?
See hw_config.sh.
And if you do hard restart at this point, it can break the touch firmware.
It would be safe, removing the firmware from /system/etc/firmware.
Ok will do that next time I'm gonna play with my Rom

Hello guys,
I just rooted my Xperia Z and flashed this ROM on to my Xperia Z: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262905
After flashed I clicked reboot system now on CWM. However, the phone didn't restart. After a minute, I turned it on myself but the screen would not come on, it was totally blank. I connected it to the charger (it's in charging now) and a RED LED keeps flashing.
What should I do? Please help .
Also, like a dimwit I didn't backup my phone so please give me methods to back it up in it's current state just in case any methods you guys recommend delete the data on my phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
raheem

Well done.
hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
I am indeed sorry to post it on Z forums but I had no other option as I was getting no support on this in ZL forums.. can anyone help pls?

Try rerooting, failing that flash your backup or start from scratch.

Hello guys!
I have a serious problem. Yesterday i've tried to update my Xperia Z to the latest software (253) and, well, it didn't go to well. After reboot i got the tools icon ( http://i.imgur.com/GFRr8Cj.jpg?2 ) and i had to leave the phone on for the night to finish this. After all of this i ran the SUS thingy, which means that i am right now back to stock. It wouldn't be a problem, as i have a backup, but turns out that my contacts and last calls registry doesn't want to come back from this backup. Anyone else had this problem and solved it? Would really appriciate any help.
Best regards

Normally Ur contacts are backup to Ur Google account.

Yea, thats true, but to be honest, i had this option turned off so restoring my contacts from my backup is the only option for me. :|
Go back to the previous rom you where using and try to restore your contacts.

Can i go back somehow with the official release, cause i did not flash my phone and it is all genuine?

I hope u get Ur contacts back but u learned Ur lesson next time use the Google account contact backup then u wouldn't have the issue.

Ha! Managed! Used this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/453530#453530
Only problem is that for Xperia Z you have to use "com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook" catalog instead of "com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport".
Thanks for trying to help me dante501 and gm007, luv ya guys.
dante501: you're probably right, will be doing that from now on.

This apper to my gf xperia sp before the update, so we wait for 4.3 to fix it but after the update with pcc camera still didnt working, some user on facebook group told me that i need to.shutdown the flashlight but even flashlight.arent working, I already tried to restart, erase dsta and config and use another camera even I installed some camera.apk from xda of 4.1.2 but nothing work, I hope you can help me, thanks
I compared this with something on my own sp, when.i have 4.1.2 tried to.install movies.apk but from z series just compatible with 4.3 and my movies app disappear so i just wait for.the update.to fixit but after 4.3 via pcc notjing changed, so i installed a 4.3 movies apk and now.is working so i think pcc doesnt fix corrupted apps when update the phone
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
may be you need to flash official firmware ftf file using flashtool and check whether the problem has been fixed. looks like some apk files have gone missing from /system/app folder. flashing might help getting those files back. ( cameracommon.apk, cameraextensionpermission.apk, semccamera3D.apk, semccameraUI.apk etc.)
If flashing doesnt fix it then its surely some hardware issue and might need to take it to service center
Now I flashed but didnt camera didnt work that means is hw issue? But why if never drops
btw the dsc qx-10 can work without the native camera from the sp?

Doesnt matter. It resets the entire phone so the build doesnt matter. Unless the problems only occur with 266
