I bought this phone hardly used from Canada and was simlocked so I did all the hard spl'ing, sim unlocking and all the other "ings and installed the brilliant DonSalari ROM worked beautifully for around 7 months and I took care of it. I never installed anything else of messed about with any settings.
But two days back after heavy usage the battery almost died and I came on put it on recharge and now its going into the reboot loop.
I hard reset it, reflashed the radio, took out the battery for hours and a lot of other things I read about here and none of them work.
It will sometimes boot up and become normal for a few minutes and after a while go back to its cycle. Currently it wont even stay on long enough to hook up to my PC. But sometimes holding the reset button helps and that was how I was able to reflash the radio
Anybody got any ideas. My phone is still newish and I seriously cannopt afford a new one now
Any advice would be more than welcomed
Thanks in advance
You could try the radio 10.00.25.05.
As least for me, all radios but 10.00.25.xx makes my diamond keep in this reboot loop.
I'm trying to figure out why that happen, but it seems that no one knows.
Hi, i've just got this same problem
had this phone for a while now, about 15 months, just finished a phonecall 5-10 minutes ago phone reset, thought how odd, and now it just keeps resetting after the loading screen disappears, have now hard reset it, and still doing it.
will try flashing a new radio see if it solves it
i have radio version 1.17.25.09 using 2.07 shaks which have been using for the last 6 months or so i think without any troubles!
*edit*
flashed 10.00.25.05. seems to be working now
annoyingly i hard reset first and i've just had a new harddrive on my pc so lost all my contacts
thanks

Just after buying my diamond I changed to hardspl, radio and rom, and it was like your situation, just after a few days working I had to hard reset, because it starts to auto reset. After the hard reset, everything was fine again for a few more days. Then I tried to change the radio to the more used one, 10.00.25.05. The problem was gone until some days ago, when I decided to try Security Unlock and 1.17.xx radio, and the problem was back. I reverted to 10.00.25.05, everything was fine again, except the wifi, now I can't connect to the internet, just to local network (no problems with other phones using the same wifi hotspot).
Before chaging back to 10.00.25.05, I have also tried a lot of things, many hardspl, mtty, different roms, security unlock, removed security unlock, diferent radios, but the only ones that really worked were: 10.00.25.xx and 10.02.xx. With 10.08.xx radio I could partially use the phone, but sense 2.5 didn't worked and neither phone network.
Now I'm using 10.02.25.32 for 1 day and a half. No problems until now, no resets, network and sense working fine, battery is good (it's 75% on the second day). I'll try for more days and see if everything is ok.
Sorry for your contacts
That happened to me once, now I always backup my contacts in internal storage and also in 2 computers. Lots of version, good that PinBackup writes the date on the file, easier to see which one is newer
Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm trying to figure out what can be done to solve this problem, more experiences is more information for my "research"
lucky I had a backup from december so still got most of them!
I may try a few radio's next week since i've got a lot of free spare time at the mo.
may try a few different roms as well and see how it goes!
Finally solved this and all it needed was a good 15 hour recharge and now its back to completly normal
hrmm, mine starting rebooting again earlier, again just after a phonecall, although this time i was driving and i didn't answer it but it kept rebooting, taking the battery out for a few minutes and its stopped now, will try flashing a different rom next week and see what happens
i'll leave it to charge overnight too, i did try a different battery incase it thought the battery was low as i'm using the offical extended one, but still did it with the original
restarting prob...
hello same problem here too..plz provide me the link too..for the radio 10.02.25.32

Well the hd on my computer fried not long after posting my last message so I didn't get time to try out different roms/radio's
still using the 10.00.25.05, since i've last posted its been fine, however it has started to reboot itself sometimes, battery showing as 30/40% starts rebooting then battery shows as 2%, although i've recently been moving between houes and haven't had time to charge it properly.
i've also noticed HSPDA recention is a million times better with this radio, I have another diamond (well my partners) and she barely gets good reception with HSPDA, in our home i generally get 2-3 bars and she can't get anything, she's using 1.17.x.x strangly she's never had the phone restart with her, and has been using that radio longer than I had been.
also for the radios, you can either search for the thread or click this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
I'm hoping someone can help me. I installed CM KANG 7.1.5 on my Milestone a couple of months ago and for the most part, everything was working great (at least better than the stock 2.2 on it). But over the last week or so, I've been having a problem with wifi on my phone. Basically, wifi is not working any more or at least it's inconsistent now.
Previous to this week, I had no issues. I had a number of wifi networks set up, and everytime I went to the wifi hotspot, the phone would automatically switch from using data to wifi.
However now, it appears the phone doesn't detect wifi networks any more. I've tried multiple hotspots and still nothing. I've tried using Wifi Analyzer and doesn't see anything either. I've rebooted the phone multiple times, taken the battery out, reseated the SIM card and still nothing. I use 3G Watchdog and Juice Defender and have removed both and still nothing. The strange thing is it's sporadic. ie. wifi will work one day and then the next day in exactly the same spot, the phone get no wifi at all.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? How did you fix it? I've thought about wiping the phone and starting over again but I'm hoping to avoid that, if possible.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Doing a complete nandroid backup, wiping everything, and installing a new ROM takes me a total of about 15 minutes. If the problem I was having isn't fixed by that, I just restore the backup.
I should also point out that 7.1.5 is outdated and the current version is 7.2.0; quite a bit of work was done on WiFi issues in the past few months, and you're probably missing out on fixes for these exact issues.
It can be a pain to set up a new ROM, but worst case scenario is that it doesn't fix anything and you can just restore the backup and be right back to where you were an hour ago.
Please keep us updated here.
Sorry, I'm somewhat new to this (this Milestone is the first phone I've ever rooted, installed CyanogenMod, etc) so I'm probably going to ask some very noob questions here. My apologies if these are very simple or dumb questions.
I've been hesistant to rebuild/upgrade my phone to fix this problem for a couple of reasons including -
My wifi still comes and goes randomly. I worry that maybe it's a flaky hardware issue more than software so I don't want to spend all this time rebuilding it again to find out it's a loose connection or something like that instead.
I assume all my apps, data, settings, etc will be wiped out if I rebuild or update my CyanogenMod unless I use something like Titanium Backup to back them up? Or is there some better/faster way for doing it or maybe CyanogenMod and Nandroid have some better/faster solution that I don't know about? It took me, it seemed like days, to fully restore all that stuff last time so I want to make sure it's worth doing.
Is there an ETA on a "production" aka non-RC version of 7.20? If it's coming soon, I'd rather wait. I'd hate to upgrade to the RC version and then 2 weeks later have to do it all over again.
Thanks for your help.
About ugrading to 7.2:
- do full nandroid backup first
- clean both caches
- apply 7.2 zip
- clean both caches again
- rebot
I use that method when moving from one version of the ROM to another and no serious issues (one or twice I have to clean caches one more time after first restart). In worst case you have nandroid backup so you can quickly move back.
I have done full wipe (including partial sd and complete ext partitions cleanup) just few times e.g. moving from CM6 to CM7.
Generally I apply full wipe only when moving from one ROM to another, in beetwen versions of the same ROM I just clean caches twice.
Hey XDA,
I hope you guys can help me with this annoying problem I am having with my Xperia V.
Two weeks ago I flashed UniQue3 on my phone since I was pretty satisfied with the previous version and I wanted to try the new one. (I had stock installed before that, since it had android 4.3).
Then crazy stuff started happening: My phone would just reboot when I was typing a message or browsing the web. No biggy, this happened before sometime as well. This time it was different. It happened constantly. I could not use Whatsapp for longer than 5 min before my phone just rebooted. Funny thing is this only happened when I was not charging it. It happened while charging it as well, but not nearly as often, maybe once every 5 hours.
My phone would not shut down either if I did not use my screen. I can listen to music for hours without it rebooting, but as soon as I try to answer or even read a message my phone reboots...
So I thought it might be the ROM. I installed CyanogenMod and at first it was better. But after two days everything started again. I am really confused as to what is wrong and I can't find a proper answer online. Some say it's Android 4.3, others say it's the battery.
So I was hoping you guys could help me out.
Greetings,
Krytos.
Try flashing the stock Rom and see if the problem still happens

Just flashed the stock rom and it did not help. Issue is still present.
Which tells you it's a hardware prob = bacterie
Yeah, that's what I thought. Gladly I bought a battery like three days ago, so I hope that will fix my issues.
maybe hardware problem of battery or even board.
Try to lock boot loader if it is open.
Hi there,
Okay, so I have been facing this weird and annoying problem(makes me sometimes throw the phone towards the wall, thanks to AHD solid build otherwise it must have been broken by now). Whenever I turn on the wifi and connect to the network, my phone hangs and freezes for like 10-20s and then restarts. It first started happening around 4 months ago and I have owned this device for more than a year. I cleaned flashed the stock rom again and it was fine and a week later it all started again. And the process of me flashing(Clean flash) again and freezing problem has become a loop. I have clean flashed like 5-6 times in these 4 months but the problem persists. I know some people say that this issue develops when there is a shortage of ram but I use the basic apps which I have been using for years. I clear my cache from time to time and have enough internal storage capacity always. I also have around 250-300mb free ram on average.
I have tried cm11, Validus, Lollipop roms on my AHD but they always have some bugs which makes me stay away from them. I like the fluidity and stability of stock therefore most of the time I stay stock.
Just yesterday when I connected to my home wifi the phone froze as usual and restarted. On restarting it automatically connected itself again with the network and froze and restarted again. This continued for like 10 times in loops, after which I immediately went into the settings and turned off the wifi as the phone restarted.
Please help me out, the phone has become unusable for me.
One thing more, I made a nandroid backup of stock rom JB 4.1.1 AT&T the very first time I flashed a custom rom on my phone and after clean flashing(format system, wiping cache, wiping user data, dalvik cache) I restore the rom from that backup. Basically I have never flashed the rom through RSD Lite.
So maybe I should try flashing with RSD Lite and see if the problem persists?
Seriously, would anyone care to help?
Or I'm just wasting my time here? Isn't this community built to help people?
It's not a problem I've had, but I'd say start from scratch. Go back to stock, then re root and try again.

Hello giuys
Here I am again, getting every day more and more dissapointed in this phone
Two weeks ago (or when the update was released) I updated to 32.2.A.0.224 hoping to get a better batterylife because previous build was giving me 2h SoT and a lot of bugs like random reboots and overheat all the time
I downloaded an algerian version from XPerifirm (one of the first to was released) and everything was fine (actually there was no much improvement of wich I was looking for, but it was a little better) but one day I can't connect to home wifi, cheking some things neither bluethoot, I had to reboot several times to make it work. Last weekend I downloaded another version from xperifirm (an SA version) and flashed again w/o problem, but the issue persist (started today), actually is worst because today I can't connect at all nor wifi or bluethoot .... I tried Hotspot but can't turn it on too... The screenshots below shows what happens when try to turn on wifi, bt and hotspot
Any ideas how to fix this? I was thinking on simply root and get a custom rom, but almost every custom rom is rooted and there are some games I play a lot and can't be played with root (and root cloack and every tool doesn't work), so is not an option, I'm so frustrated with this phone, hope one of u guys can help me
thanks in advance
I guess you got the wrong modem on that rom, may be you wasn't supposed to flash it.
So, you are frustated with this phone because you flashed a version that was not supposed to be installed on your phone? You mixed up your phone, not the phone itself. You are complaining about SOT and overheating without mentioning how you use your phone. Well, i guess, if you can flass another version rom in your phone, i think you have done more than this..!
Anyway, i hope someone expert can help you. But you have to admit that maybe it is your fault and not accuse the phone
It just was an expression, but as a note, the phone is unusable since the beginning, every update mess one more thing, is the crapiest phone I ever had xD, two months later I bought a real flagship phone, but need this phone working for a not advanced user (that doesn't know or have the time to flash and install all apps over and over again), and every rom installed brings problems that make the phone useless as your post[\s], sometimes battery of 5h in standby, sometimes overheat all the time, sometimes random reboots...
Also genius, actually this phone came with the first customization I flashed, but if u didn't know, all customizations are the same, just came with some apps and market restrictions (plus carrier apps/ settings in carrier specifics) so there's no "version that was not supposed to be installed in your phone" (u can even flash between variants in the same model as long as is a single-sim variant), go home and learn something before u comment so useless things, I understand why there are so low population lately in xda, remember when ppl actually came to help QQ
Anyways, this issue was there since before in some devices (Z3+ obviously) in old updates, I was trying to get some info with that ppl to see if there's a way to solve it, but due limitations at not rooted phones I think there's no way...
Another thing, in the second last update, there's a thread about some issues bootloader/security-related if u updated via OTA, there's a problem if I try to flash am older version after that OTA was installed? because I think the phone was a little more stable before that

Hi, I recently bought this phone and found out the cell reception has some issue and due to that phone keeps on searching network and draining my battery.
I didn't start cursing sony or this phone because I knew there is some issue with the radio and it needs to be replaced and I went to service center and they told me that motherboard needs to be changed.
It's been 1 week still I am waiting but with the new motherboard I think things will be fine.
So why don't you visit sony service center and try to fix things instead of blaming them.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Sony phones and used it since W300-SE years, this phone have issues, sad is, service center actually doesn't give service if u don't buy the phone with the carrier they are (it seems the carrier pay to have service of almost all brands), and they sell phones (specially flagships) overpriced (like 150usd more) so I don't buy with them, neither use that carrier, so is a little hard
