Hey guys.
So I recently (few days ago) bought my Xperia SP (5302) EU-Global Version. I've updated it to the last 12.1.A.1.207 stock build and I wanted to root I but I noticed something strange that happen 2-3 times and I wanna ask if it's something common for the model or should I return it for a repair before I root the phone.
So basically what's happening is, when the phone is under load in very rear cases (3 times in 7-8 days) the screen will start dimming but not like when you power it off. It will start getting darker, the app icons will get almost black and after it finishes loading the task everything returns it's original color again. It basically shifts it's color tone to some really dark tone, like when you're adding some effect to a picture. Sorry, English is not my native language so I can't explain it better but if you have experienced it you, would'll know what I'm talking about.
So basically this is the question: Is this something common for the Xperia SP and I can safely root the phone, or it's just my phone and I must send it for a repair/replacement.
Thanks in advance!
You could try to reset it with Flashtool. It seems like a hardware issue but the reflash it to rule software out..

Thanks alot!
Another question.
When I bought my phone it boot up in Chinese or Japanese (not really sure) and then it had alot of apps with Japanese or Chinese characters that I disabled and I'm not really sure if that's the Global version of the software. So if I reinstall the stock ROM and I have to return it for a repair they may notice that the ROM is not the same as the one that was shipped with. Do you guys have the same apps on the Global version?
Here are the apps

Then you have to use Flashtool (see my thread in General) to flash a ftf file that does not come with that bloatware

it's not a hardware issue...it's a common bug on .205, .207

i am not able to use my screen anymore and then i continue to ;
1) clear storage with keyboard support of 1,2,3,4
2) succeeded to restore
3) the problem now is stuck at the beginning of setup, but i cannot do anything becoz the screen not able to use anymore!!
plz help, what i'm goin to do now is download 1 of the rom and try to reflash see how.
any other method someone plz advise
million thank
joei
cant even install the HARDSPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
sob sob....someone plz help
Touch screen not functioning or no picture due to screen itself not functioning? Anything specific happen that might have caused this? Still under warranty?
the touch screen not functioning at all. i didnt do anything thing before that.it just happen all i did to clear the storage and try to flash with some other roms but not successful.
no more warranty.
thanks for ur reply Guilf. or any other method that i can flash the roms? since i not even able to do anything. but i still can able to go into the bootloader. anything roms that works on the bootloader ?
i still not able to install the HARDSPL and SUPERCID
I've never heard of a ROM negatively impacting the touchscreen - so I'd be somewhat surprised if it fixed it. However, anything is worth the effort.
FYI - you don't need to SuperCID. Just HardSPL. Or try to JumpSPL it. Check for the thread on White Screen Issue during HardSPL in Upgrading section.
If it's still not under warranty and needs to be fixed - PPCTechs replaces the LCD and touchscreen in one unit. $160, I believe. Good luck.
thanks for ur reply, i even try to open up everything and ensure all the cabling is attached propoerly. still not work!
i cant even go into the windows screen i cant do the jumpspl either.
and the PPCTechs is broken link.
sigh...................
found out some scratches on the cable, could it be the reason that my screen not functioning anymore? pplllzzzzzzzz someone advise thanks

Hi !
I flashed my phone to CM7 today, after that i wanted to flash MIUI..
That didnt work out, so i flashed back to standard to repeat the rooting and flashing to a slim rom..
Now i have an LG Logo flashing through my background, has anyone experienced this ?
If so, pleeeeease tell me there is a fix for it
Dont get it. Screenshot, picture or video?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
No no, when i boot my phone you see the LG Logo..
Now when im in Android (stock launcher etc) i see the same logo flashing on my background..
Its hardly visible but i see it...
Weird stuff.... changed background yet!
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Sorry to dissapoint you, but thats not it
I think its gone now though, after a few (read as 20/30) reboots....
Yeah I had this ghosting first few boots of new baseband, i posted under:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm guessing no1 else saw this, but my experience was it went away by itself after a few reboots. Testing i'm fairly sure it was from pulling the cable while the lg+face image was still on screen after the baseband was flashed successfully.
Nothing to really worry about imho.

You see the same thing when accessing the phone through a VNC server using the framebuffer. You don't see the desktop here though, just the LG logo.
It's because Tegra does not use the framebuffer to display things. But somehow in your case the framebuffer DID get displayed in the background... somehow?!
it is gone after about 10 reboots
This happend to me a couple of times. When im going back to stock rom thats when its happening but it dissapears after a couple of restarts
Just wanted to report that I just got the same artifact after updating to baseband 0405. Still panicking... Hope it goes away...
EDIT: Seems to be resolved after 2 reboots and/or brightness change.
I'm having the same problem after upgrade to the leaked V20o. I tried to restore to V20m and the issue still continued. I tried to restore to V10f and I still have problem.
I rebooted the phone more than 20 times and nothing.
Does anyone know how to solve this??

Hello.I can't write English well so i'm sorry.
My Xperia was official 9.2.A.1.199.
I wanted to get root.
so,I used this page:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654451
but after writing kernel(elf file)on my lt25i,it couldn't be in CWM mode.
and I wrote Doomkernel and official ftf files.
but MY lt25i's dispray is still blurred and whitish
and i found that My xperia is lt25i but PC connected it as lt25.
What should i do to mydevice?
Was it blurred and white-ish from the beginning? Or did it happen later on?

Try to flash an original .ftf file via flashtool and wipe everything.
wew ,its happen with my xperia V 1 year ago .whitish and blurish like this
I try to flash stock firmware, wipe data n bla bla bla , but still same
I got my phone like that because I try to flashing kernel+recovery many times ( three times maybe , I forgot it )
After that ,I sold my V
pal. i think u've made the wrong choice
did u unlock your bootloader
if not, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699117
I think I have the same issue. It is mentioned in this other thread here at the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707785
This other user is working on a possible fix. Perhaps we should merge the two threads?
I have exactly the same problem!
Followed various instructions for getting root on 4.3. I do not know where did I made mistakes, but the process was not successful. Rooted ROM gave black screen. Then I flashed the default 4.3 and screen turned white like this.
After that I managed to update to AOKP nightly, wiped everything, but screen stayed the same.
I think the problem happens during fastboot mode (when blue LED is lit). Copying various kernels I can make my screen black or return to white like this, but not normal.

Hey guys!
Im working on this already.
If you know someone with a working XPERIA V / VX / VL / AX, tell them to post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-xperia-vx-vl-ax-owners-t2828693/post54410892
It would help a lot!
So i've been facing this issue on the Nexus 6 for a long time now. It was there even when i was running stock.
Current state : Rooted, Chroma ROM 5.0.2
Issue count (daily) : 4-5 times
The problem : Random crashes. There is nothing specific that seems to trigger it. Dont know whether this is a memory leak issue or not.
When the devices crashes / freezes, a glitch distortion appears on screen, rendering all keys except power useless. A forced restart is the only way to get back.
Please follow the images for better understanding :

Questions :
1) Is this a common issue?
2) Should i relock the device and get it exchanged?
3) If i cant exchange it, what should i do?
Thanks.
Thats never happened to me on stock or CM12....
I would contact who ever you bought it from motorola, google , or a carrier and get it replaces you have the year warranty and the pictures you took can be your proof? ...

I don't know it's caused by the newest firmware it self or it's because I didn't flash /data ?.
Any ideas about it?

Factory reset might fix it, but most likely a complete reflash, wiping data. This has been reported before on the thread, happens when you try to mix-and-match firmwares.
The following won't be news to people more experienced than I, but I managed at one point to get my phone into what I presume is a bootloop. Waiting for the right moment, and then connecting it in flash mode to the computer allowed me to use Xperia Companion to reinstall the current firmware correctly. I'm glad that Sony provides this functionality in its PC/Mac software. Perhaps in first backing up just what you need through Xperia Companion, then doing a software repair (reset/flash), and then restoring your (minimal) data would do the trick. I know how annoying these little anomalies can be, I had the weird experience of having GBoard reinstall itself on every reboot until I "fixed" the installation as I outlined above. Good luck!

Thanks for reply!
I'll try to do factory reset the phone. But I'm still wondering why this will cause the Settings APP to work like this ?
I had the problem when i first flashed the german 8.49. I had the same weird menus and txt because i had the origianl us oem. i reflashed w/ complete custom de (I don't have tmobile) and everything is back to normal. Also, I got the ota update to the current version. I assumed the problems were because the us oem was outdated, but maybe not.
