Hello guys, this is my first post, I am writing to ask for any kind of help for a problem I'm having with an Xperia SP, I describe everything.
The mobile stock has started to have problems with the SIM, turned off all the time, how to Fix PC Companion is not served at all. I wanted to try to install the CM to see if the problem disappeared, but since I could not access the phone I could not turn on USB debugging. Following the guide to install the CM11 get to the point where I access the Recovery where I have to choose how to transfer the MOD on the phone, but the problem comes here, after reboot the phone is no longer seen, the reason is for USB debugging disabled? Or for other reasons? Can I get around this?
I tried to load the MOD on the SD Card and start it from Recovery but the experiment failed. Tell me something wrong, how do I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a hard brick you're trying to explain? You can try to reflash stock FTF by using Flashtool. Please refer to this thread and report your findings here

dudddeeeee calm down. let me start off by saying your phone is fine so relax. do you have an sdcard reader or something? basically something that will allow you to put a file on the sdcard and then back into the phone? cause all you gotta do is use this "update.zip" thingy. basically you go into recovery, press some buttons and then bam clockworkmod recovery. and then from there u just do a wipe and put on a rom that works (to provide you with more comfort, as im typing this my phone is actually bricked as well lol cause ive been waiting like 10 min for it to start since i put this new rom on. so ill just quickly fix that) let me know if u can get something to read ur sdcard and ill provide you with more info
i'm following this guide..i have problem with connecbot..when i type the commands it says no such file...but in my sd there are the files!!!...

Help please - I tried to upgrade to CM6.1, have done it s few times i the past with great success and no idea what went wrong. believe i accidentally wipe Davik Cache. The Rom loaded, but now I'm unable to mount SD Card. I'm also unable to use ADB on WIN7 Ultimate suddenly. Have read numerous threads and google topics and have tried several solution.
1. modify google usb driver ( R8 SDk pakage)to include legend
2. various versions of HTC Sync to get the drivers.
3. using Deview to remove all HTC devices, etc
Is there anyway to mount the SD Card without ADB, then to recovery and flashing again?
PLEASE HELP
Hi All,
from one moment to another my X1 decided to boot into bootloader mode.
The strange thing is however, that when I connect it to the USB of my PC and reset the X1, it boots normally. Well, almost normal as the USB doesn't seem to be working.
I flashed the rom to APP-SW_X1_GENERIC_UK_1213-6450_R3AA010__KOVS using the SDCard and that worked without a problem. But still the X1 boots into bootloader mode (except when connected to the PC).
I tried a hardreset, pressed the volume down button several times (to make sure it isn't stuck), tried to use MTTY (but that doesn't show a prompt), but nothing seems to help.
Is there anyone who can help me with this, because I'm out of ideas....
Update:
I managed to boot the OS (USB connected) and install HSPL using Xperia-SSPL-Manual. This succeeded and I now have SPL-0.78.OliNext. I flashed the phone to a new ROM (826x_KOVSKY_29017_2021), and that succeeded as well. It didn't solve my problem however. I still get the bootloader screen when I start the phone and can only start the OS by starting with USB connected...
Update2:
Yesterday evening I took the whole phone apart to make sure no buttons are/were stuck. Didn't find anything, put it back together and it still boots into bootloader.
I also managed to get a connection to the phone using NueTTY. I executed command Set 14 0, restarted the phone...and still it boots into bootloader.
If there is any one who knows of something that I haven't tried yet, PLEASE let me know....
same problem,,if there's a way to flash recovery from sd card in fastboot mode,,that'd be great

Flashing the ROM is no problem, I can put every ROM on it that I like. But even after flashing the ROM the phone still starts in bootloader....
You can try to go into the bootloader on ur pc and use recovery.bat with fastboot.

hi, I'm kind of having the same issue as you do..can you please be of help and tell me how did you manage to HSPL it to 0.78.OliNex?
Correct me If I am wrong, but you must copy Xpera_SSPL_Manual. exe on X1, run it from file explorer and then run X1_HardSPL.exe on your PC, whlie X1 is connected via usb (although mine also doesn't recognize the X1) ?
i would really apreciate it... thnx

My problem now is I don't know how to turn debugging on without accessing phone settings, and I can't do that because my phone won't go past "Sony Ericsson". If you know how to turn usb debugging off please tell me.

Did everything, now I am stuck on different Sony Ericsson loading screen.
I had the same problem. You should get back on 1.6 and do all things again that's what I did. But there's more solutions.

follow the instructions at the link i provided and you will go back at 2.1 and then start reading more and learn how to install a rom and what are the requirements, probably you dont even know that in order to flash the rom you tried to flash you need a custom kernel, if you dont know about custom kernels you dont know about unlocking bootloader.....go ahead i think i gave you many terms to google
take your time and read the guides

you dont need to go back at 1.6, 2.1 is fine.
why 1.6?
I did like that because I didn't know how to get back in the beggining then I founded only kernel for 2.1

U should flash stock rom+kernel n not just kernel.(cause u actually removed your rom)
U can download 2.1.1 .ftf frimware from net & then flash it.
After flashing flash-tools say to turn on debugging to root your rom.

Just use Sony Ericsson Update Service download it and run and follow the instructions.
At the end you will be running stock 2.1 rom and kernel.From there do whatever you were trying to do before.
I tried again, thought it didn't work and went to have lunch, when I came back I was surprised to see it loaded. For some reason first time loading took him about 30 min. Thank you all!

Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......
1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6
2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!
3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).
4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.
5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!
Press thanks if it helped!
Hi
I have a P990 with a possible dead USB. It had a CyanogenMod 9.0.0 on it when it arrived.
Trying to revive the USB, I've found ocr66 post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981359
I've followed the first post's step by step instructions:
-installed R2
-restored the provided back-up in that post (mexico)
Unfortunately, now the phone is stuck loading after reboot. The horizontal spiral under the LG sign is rolling several seconds, than it's stopping and that's it.
I'm able to go into recovery mode still.
Also, I have in hand a stock firmware (kdz), but I do not know if it is of any use from cwm recovery, and of course, usb is not functioning (that's why I've followed ocr's instructions).
Any advice please ?
Thank you,
Thanks

If it bootloops then maybe you will have to do a full wipe/format system. as you were in CM9 before, I assume that you are still in old bootloader.
you can comfirm this whilethe device is preparing to enter the old / new bootloader. The cracked new Boot loader has a pink LG logo.
As you are able to go to recovery, use the PA old boot loader....from tonyp....just download it form the dev section to the Ext SD Card. Then make a full wipe again from the recovery
flash the PA and also Kowalski Kernel. you are ready to go my friend
BTW, How do you charge if the USB port is not working....remove battery?
USB is still charging, but there is no sign of life in data communication with PC (exactly as in the ocr's mentioned post above, no question mark in device manager or anything else).
As far as I've understood until now, I am and I was on the old bootloader (LG sign is white at boot).
Maybe a little bit further details could be of help (I need to find and read your details, don't know exactly where to find tonyp bootloader and kowalsky kernel, what is PA a.s.o.)
Thank you,

you need to look out in the dev section....its ParanoidAndroid 2.6. Its stock Kernel is Kowalski...so no worry for you.
Did you try with a new USB cable?maybe your cable is broken...i mean the data contact....
For the data communication with PC, you need to install the USB drivers....check out on google and install it. then it will be connected. if you want to have without that, install on device and PC the MyPhone Explorer a free app...which can transmit or receive data on wifi, bluetooth or USB cable.
Hope this helps you
Of course I've changed the cable, the usb port, I've changed even the PC, but no communication, only charging, so it's not a driver problem (PC does not react in any way when connecting the phone).
Thanks, I'll try to follow your advice,
Hi again,
I've succeeded to simply recover a backup in CWM, from sdcard. But the USB problem is still there.
Let's put the problem in other words: I'm trying to access the "hidden" menu, with 1809#*990# as explained in the ocr's thread mentioned in the first post here, to try to revive the USB port.
But that hidden menu is inaccessible from CM 9.0.0.0 that I have now. So, I need to push a stock ROM, without using USB, only via sdcard. I'm assuming that in the stock rom the hidden menu is accessible.
I'm on the old bootloader. I need a zip packed stock GB ROM.
I've found an ICS 3.0A for CWM install but it does not work, most probably because of the old bootloader I have.
So, could someone post a link with a zipped GB stock ROM that can be installed with CWM directly from SDcard ?
Thank you,
Here's one I found in the development section -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31600327
The download links seem to be active still

Yep,
It perfectly did the trick, thanks kingvortex, and everyone who helped me.
Unfortunately, the USB is hardware broken, I was able to access the hidden menu and the tests just confirmed this trouble. But at least the phone is usable.
If anyone knows some other GB stock firmware (2.3.6 ?), but ready to be installed only via sdcard and CWM, it would be very usefull, because it seems that 2.3.4 has a known bug that prevent apps installation from a newer version of the market (google play) - I've read about this bug here on xda.
I would prefer gingerbread because:
- the phone has the old bootloader
- the usb is broken
- it seems that GB is faster than ics on p990
Thanks,
Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

Try this :
If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :
1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.
Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.
Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems
