Hi!
I have been using Xperia TX for a few months, and I have experienced freezing problems for about 4~5 times, this all happens while I was updating apps in the Play store.
The phone gets a bit laggy as soon as it started updating apps, and it freezes soon. I am not sure if it is considered "freeze", since the download/installing progress bar is progressing, however I was not able to give any input at this time, so after one minute, the screen turn off as the screensaver is set to one minute.
I can't do anything else since it is not accepting inputs, so I removed the battery and inserted it back, and power on the phone, then I will get a triangle with a screwdriver icon, just wait for about 15 seconds and it will get pass there and boots normally. Sometimes I don't even have to pull off the battery, the phone restarts automatically.
Above were my past experience, however my TX freezes while updating apps in the Play store again today, and it restarted automatically. It boots past both SONY and Xperia logo, but got stuck in the "flow" animation, and restarted itself, doing this over and over again, it seems that it have got into a boot loop.
Note that I am using stock Android 4.0.4 firmware, I can't remember the exact firmware version now.
Is there any troubleshooting I can do before trying to hard reset the phone?
Also I would like to know if someone have the same experience (system freezing while updating apps, and does not accept any inputs, requires a reboot) with me before?
Thanks!
even if you get out of the bootloop, there no guarantee that the issue of freezing will be gone.
i suggest you repair using pc companion and then upgrade to the latest JB rom.
Else download the latest JB .ftf and flash it using flashtool.
Thanks for your feedback!
Just flashed the phone with Sony Update Service, and it is working fine now.

So I'm running rooted stock rom with no customisations or CWM, Its been running completely fine for over 2 months. Today I come into work, place the phone on the table, and realise it shows the 'Sony' screen, I just think its a random reboot it will just come back on. But it hasnt, it still bootloops no matter what I try. I guess I should of installed CWM and backed up the rom some time ago...Got a old titanium backup though :/ Time to PC companion repair lol.
Anyway, just an interesting event thats happened and I'm wondering if anyone knows why it just went into bootloop. Has it happened to anyone else before?
EDIT: Just realised flashmode doesn't work, it enters flashmode but then quickly disconnects flashmode after about 5 seconds, then proceeds to bootloop again...
i am currently using the Xperia Z LTE with version .244, LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
After HEAVY flashing with the previous Z1 camera ports and the existanZ roms, my phone shut down randomly. Its getting more shut downs recently, the screen Just blacked and i need to turn on the phone again. I even have problem starting up, example it shuts down immediately during booting up, sometimes during normal usages. I have tried re flashing using flash tool , erasing everything flashing a new firmware, still no luck, using PC companion to repair. I even try NOT to root it, but it still shutdowns, only way to prevent it was to PLUG IN THE POWER WHILE USING.. no shut downs then. After unpluging, the shutdown come back. Anyone has this issue too? Any help?
Maybe your battery is mostly empty, or gets recognized as empty.
This could help you:
Let the phone charge for 24h while it's on. Then flash Stock Rom with PCC or FT.

Tried but still no luck, anyone any more ideas?

Hi guys, first of all this is my first post here and won't be my last.
I am an Apple/iPhone long time user and want to tryout Android, just because I think it's time for a change , without knowing if I could get used to the new OS and wanting to spend as less as possible on this "endeavor" I bought a second hand Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 from a friend, the phone worked perfectly when I bought it, it had Android 4.1.2 on it and I wanted to update it to 4.4.2, did some research on the net about this (learned about the locked bootloader - this wasn't an issue for me coming from the iPhone) and updated the phone using Kies - and this is were the fun begins.
The update failed, and the phone was softbricked but could still go into download and recovery mode, after reading a few hours on the internet, I used Odin to flash a 4.3 stock rom for the n7100 which I downloaded from samsung-updates, the software got installed on the phone but it was very laggy (with the phone opened but locked, when I pressed the power button it took about 7-8 seconds for the display to light-up, the animations were very sluggish and phone was unusable).
I installed another ROM, using Odin, this time a 4.4.2, with the same results (every time I reset to factory setting and wipe cache from recovery - this didn't help).
I then installed clockwork recovery and rooted the phone then installed cyanogenmod 10.1 which worked almost ok but if i locked the phone after a few seconds the phone would restart, wipe cache/restore factory settings didn't help, i installed it again hoping it would be just an issue with the installation but had the same result, phone would restart.
I've followed all tutorials I could find related to this phone and this issue, installed several patches, reinstalled several stock roms, installed Criskelo rom, all with the same result, the phone is very very very slow and freezez after a while or it restarts after i lock the phone.
So, let me just give u some history on the phone, enumerate the symptoms and where I am right now:
History:
The phone was bought from Vodafone Romania, was never rooted and was never updated (before me ) and still has 3 months warranty.
Symptoms:
- Phone is very slow, unusable
- Freezes after the display is locked
- it is not recognized in windows, when I connect it i can hear the windows connect chime but the phone storage is not mounted, in device manager the phone is recognised as "cdc communication interface" which is not installed - i have the samsung drivers installed, and i have tried on other PC's with the same result, I also tried with several data cables - same thing - the phone works ok when in recovery/download mode
- sometimes when the phone is connected to the PC and the screen goes dark a gray battery appears with a "wait circle" and the phone freezes
- in recovery the phone displays 14 bynaries downloaded and also knox warranty void 1
- most of the roms freez in the language selection screen - i boot-up the phone (after i do a restore factory settings) the installing application dialog appears and then the language selection screen appears, then after 5-6 seconds the phone freezes - the freeze is not triggered by something I do it's triggered by time, after 5-6 seconds no matter what I do with the phone the phone freezes, if it makes any difference, exactly before the phone freezes the display brightness goes to the maximum setting.
Where I am right now
- I installed another stock rom, 4.4.2, it worked acceptable for a few minutes (it got passed the initial setup with no issues) then i left it on the desk, the display went dark and the battery thing happened again and the phone froze, i restarted the phone in recovery, did a factory reset, when the phone started it froze on the language selection screen.
I am at this for about a week now and I have no more ideas and no more patience, and run out of threads and tutorials to read, I am 1 step away of using the phone as a paperweight so please help, any idea would be appreciated, even if it's to enlighten me about what happened and telling me that the phone is bricked.
I am willing to try anything even if it is risky and can totally brick the phone, this is not my main phone and it's purpose is to help me understand android, and help me not make the same mistakes next time.
But, if it's possible I would like to fix the phone because even though it's pretty old it's still an ok phone.
Sorry wrong forum. You need N7100, not the n7000. Good luck.
Hello all,
I already thank each and everyone of you willing to help/answer because I am truly desperate right now.
Id like to note that my phone (C6603) is rooted and the bootloader unlocked (i'm not sure though), and the internal storage was 75% full...
Here is the problem :
- I was using my phone as usual yesterday, then suddenly the phone power off, shows the hazard logo (the triangle with tools in it), as if it were installing an update. It lasted for like 5 seconds, then the phone rebooted.
- After the reboot, the phone was laggy as hell. And as it lagged, it shutted down and rebooted.
- During the reboot the phone was doing the "optimizing x/264app" thing. That optimization lasted for about 30minuts. Then the phone booted, but was laggy. I tried to go to settings but couldn't open anything in it, I couldn't even scroll. Then the phone rebooted again.
- After numerous reboots and lags, the phone couldn't get past the Optimization step anymore.
- I tried to repair with Sony Companion, but it said that it couldn't find any software for my device (even though I waited for 2 hours for the download - slow internet here).
- I tried to reflash the stock rom I had in the phone: C6603_10.7.A.0.222_UA.ftf (I checked "wipe userdata" because I wanted to clean the phone anyway)
- The flashing went fine. I turned on the phone, but on screen where you usually choose the language, it freezed and rebooted.
And there we are. Stuck in infinite reboot and "optimizing" again.
I tried to reflash the ftf file but Flashtool wasn't able to do it anymore, it said "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors."
Please tell me there is a solution other than trash this phone. Please.
Thank you.
Hi All,
Sorry if this is asked before. I have a new Note 5 unlocked. I turned it on yesterday and started using it. Late at night, its screen froze. I tried pressing Power+Volume_Down buttons to restart the phone. The phone restarted but the the screen was black. Only the notification light was on (blue).
In the morning, the light was still on and the phone was froze. I tried restarting it and I succeeded it. Then I realized the phone was very, I mean veeeery slow. By the time, a firmware update notification popped up. I believe it was Marsmallow update. I hit the yes button. The phone started the update and was stuck at %24. Then it restarted itself. The update process starts over and when it reaches %24, it starts over.
This happened before with my note 4 when I tried to root it. This phone is brand new and is not rooted. However, I transferred my Google profile but I did not select to download my previous apps. So, I don't think it is rooting issue but stucking at the same percentage makes me nervous.
I tried to get into recovery mode but the button combination does not work at all. So I can neither factory reset nor clear the cahe partition. When I press Volume_Down+Home+Power buttons, a custom rom download screen appears but Volume_Up+Home+Power buttons do not work at all. I cannot shut off the phone. It constantly restarts itself, starts the update, fails at %24 and starts the process over again.
What might be the problem? How can I fix this?
Regards
Hi,
Try flashing some stockfirmware via Odin (ideally something of the same android version i.e. lollipop/marshmallow). Once it's installed you should be able to access recovery from which I strongly recommend clearing your cache afterwards as you've already suggested. If you are not worried about loosing any data, then flash new firmware that is inclusive of BL/CP/CSC files too (each one has a category for such in Odin). With the latter, by all means flash marshmallow etc. :good:
