Hi folks,
I've just had my digitizer replaced (under warranty, thanks vodafone!) but before I returned it to them I wanted to flash back to stock. I used flashtool to flash the stock CE1 6.0.1, everything seemed to go ok, told me to unplug phone, rebooted and the nav buttons had stopped working. Thought I'd try the sony repair tool, again it seems to flash ok but still had broken nav buttons.
Now I've got the phone back (with loads of bloatware) I'm a bit concerned about flashing the kernel back to the .575 for rooting in case I lose the buttons again
So any ideas what might have happened ?
OK ..after more thought I remember that I changed the height of the nav buttons because I was having issues, flashing back to stock lost the changes, hence the keys not working!
Now back to being rooted with no bloat..

Hi there,
the proximity sensor on my i9000 isn´t working anymore. Everytime I place a call/get called the screen turns black and freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart it.
Testing the sensor on the LCD-test the screen turned green and the i9000 startet vibrating. Here, too only pulling the battery made it stop.
Here is what I tried so far:
- flashing different stock fw (Android 2.2 / 2.3.x)
- applied handicapped settings
- Using Proximity_Screen_Off App and Sanity-App on stock fw
- blowing air into the USB jack/vacuuming the jack
- opened the device to mechanically clean the sensor
All of the above failed!
The only way I can get it to work is when running android 2.3.7 Joker´s MiUi and run the Proximity_Screen_Off App.
Are there any other suggestions as to what can be tried?
Else I will have to get a new motherboard, because wouldn´t want to be restricted to using only one particular rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks Christine
if i recall good (but kill me ive drinked some atm) the greensih issue was showing with voodoo color kernels and all the sensor peoblems came with badly assembled kernel.
so i would advice you to reflash pure 3 file firmware (repartition pit and all that jazz)
and if your sensors still would not work just reflash to your carrier or stock formware for your region and push it to repair center with proper dwscription (do no mentions miui or other crap)
Thanks for answering!
I flashed 3-part firmware, pretty much everything available and a CF-Root kernel.
So it couldn´t have been a bad kernel.
Can´t take it back to service, no warranty left.
I just flashed 2.3.5 and CF-Root and now I am fooling around with it some more.
I just think it´s weird that it would work with that and only that MiUi.
impossible unless youve got some other galaxy variaant than i9000

Hi,
this sounds like my problem.
I have it on 2.3.6 after replacing the keypad because of water damage and wrong cleaning off the home-button...
I am searching for a solution quite a long time.
It would be great if you could post the problem solution here.
Thanks a lot.

yeahaa... after 3 days of testing and testing i finaly made it ....
Well the trick with *#*#2663#*#* works only on froyo and not on any other stock rom...
So just get Froyo and after flashing it do a full wipe within the recovery menu. Afterwards boot and enter *#*#2663#*#* and update the TouchPad FW.
greets nears
Anxious to try FroYo
Same thing happened to me a week ago, the four touch keys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011, I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new BUT already rooted (juggernaut v3.1, CMR). It was running flawlessy until now. I hadn't done anything to it and was still running the same rom.
Over the past week I've gotten up to speed and I wiped it and flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 UVLH1 rom after which the keys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer firmware, and so I updated to that. I tried wiping and reflashing ICS in hopes the keys would work again and skip the Kies update, but this time the keys didn't work at all. I've had the phone apart to examine the hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. I am still holding out hope that it's a software thing, not a hardware thing.
I tried the *#2663# code trick and pressed the "Touch Key FW Update" button, but it just stayed busy for the four hours I let it grind away (obviously not working).
So, noob question, does anyone know where I could find a stock Froyo rom for the T989? I've only seen it for the T959. I really want to try this and see if it gets my touch keys working again.
Thanks in advance.
hey,
I had 4.2.2 in my 5503. Couple days ago I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 using flashtool, because there wasn't official 4.3 for my region yet . After that, I noticed my led and NFC are dead. Led isn't working (no flash when making pics, not working as a flashight). NFC unchecks just after when I click on it. Tried: downgrade, delete/rename usf (like in xperia z), many others official roms. tried fix and upgrade by SUS and SPCC. No changes. Also tried CM11 4.4, but still led is dead, NFC option can't be even marked. Now I'm on rooted 4.3. Any ideas how to bring them back? And no, backup doesn't exist
waw that's not cool.. do you erase the whole system when you flash?
Made in ZR
Yes. I thought it is better to have clean instal. Habit of installing roms on old phone. Everything else seems to work fine. I'm out of ideas.
hmm it's weird dude. well I suggest :
ensure that you bootloader is locked
do a fresh full flash with all wipes
do a reset in settings > backup & reset
then go into service menu > service tests > flash led
for the service menu, at the stock dialer, type : *#*#7378423#*#*
if it still doesn't work after this, I'm afraid this is hardware related.

Did that many times. To have clear conscience I connected phone to another usb. formated, flashed .67 with wipes. After reset, in service menu led is still dead. connected to pc, updated with SUS to .569. and same story. I'm sure they were working before 1st flash and upgrade. If this is hardware problem, should NFC unchecks itself just after I click on it?
Ehh I suppose, I have to deal with it. There is no cure for my zr
ps. in /system/app/ I can see ncf.apk & nfc.odex only. That's it, right?
well I don't know mate, did you ever unlocked the BL? It may be drm related also
Made in ZR
NFC firmware needs update?
I got my ZR a few weeks ago, it came with 4.1.2 on it.
Straight away I hooked it up to PC companion and it updated to 4.2.2, during the first reboot I got a message on the screen for quite a while: "Updating NFC firmware"
I then had problems and thought it was due to 4.2.2, I downloaded & flashed a 4.1.2 ROM, once again, on the first reboot I got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
Then I realized that the problems weren't due to 4.1.2 and flashed 4.2.2 again, once again got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
This might not be much use to you but it seems to me that the NFC firmware needs to match the version of Android you're running.
Sorry, no idea how to update it manually, just thought it's something you might like to investigate.
Maybe start here ....

Ilko, yes. BL was unlocked. I had thought, drm can be involved with it. If yes, I'm pretty ***. I don't see any other explanation. many official roms. repairs by sus and companion. checked in buildprop editor, and everything looks ok.
alan573819, when I bought mine it was 4.1.2 also. Couple weeks later upgrated it to 4.2.2. but I don't remember that NFC dialog. I just don't remember, so it doesn't mean I never had it it was long time ago. I know that topic. Believe me, I know them all I'm silent reader xda since se k800i. Always found answers without asking. Until now.. I had to register, because no1 have same problem. with z, there is problem only with NFC (no1 complains about led), and they can fix it by deleting usf. It doesn't work for me. anyway, on 4.2.2 I had no problems with NFC or led. everything worked perfect until I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 with flashtool.
my phone was unlocked, rooted, had .310, .67, .569 for at least 3 different regions, had CM11 4.4, was repaired and upgraded by SUS and Companion. No changes. It just has to have something with drm, because I don't believe that hardware was broken during update. drm can explain it. but.. that's weird if NFC and especially led has something to do with it.
okay, then did your ever relocked it? backed up TA? restored it?
Made in ZR
yes, I have relocked zr.
Like I said before, I didn't make any backups. Didn't expect any problems so I just wiped and flashed my phone. On the other hand- who expects them? . I can risk with my own phone. If I do something for others, I always do backups, double checks etc.
Hi!
just downgraded from 5.1 to kitkat .290, installed recovery and rooted, then i wiped data,cache and dalvik, flashed prerooted 5.1 and was done, everything worked fine.
next day i realised that camera was not focusing at all and when i tried to take a picture, it jams or force closes. x reality is on the settings but dont know if it works.
tried everything, diagnostics failed, tried changing some settings and cleared data and such but didnt seem to help, looked like DRM keys were somehow lost.
i checked service menu and keys were ok, no errors at all.
tried to restore backed up DRM keys from 4.4.4 times but still no luck...
then i repaired with PCC and still not working. now im where i started with camera malfunction.
any help... i have no idea what went wrong... I have never opened my Bootloader.
Hmm strange... it ficed after downgrading to kitkat .290 and then repairin via PCC and now works fine... didnt fix on first time i repaired...
Hey guys, im writing from Argentina, as a final resource..
I have a vs980, running Cloudy 3.3 LP. As I was having a lot of issued (battery drain, wifi lose, etc) i've decided to go back to stock.
I used a guide found here, with tot file, wich took the phone bak to JB, rooted and with twrp. I've downloaded CLoudy 2.2, and KK baseband, flashed them both in recovery, but when phone starts up, the signal bar is with a red X.
I've tried EVERYTHING, and nothing seems to bring the signal back..
I messed up and lost the phone completely? or theres ir ANY way to bring it back alive??
Thanks a lot!
/any update? I'm having the same problem

This happened to me couple days earlier while trying custom roms. What i did was wiped the custom rom installation, installed by previous rom from backup and its all good.
In your case, i recommend you start from the beginning, flashing kitkat and then upgrading to lollipop and then u switch back to other custom roms.
Pull sim card. Turn off phone and let sit for at least a few minutes. Really.
Then insert and boot back up.
I had this problem and was told to do that and it worked.
hi
i have same prob after upgrading to lollipop , so i downgraded bac kti kitkat still no signal i tryed the power off and wait a min with the sim removed i turn it back on i will get my service back but after maybe 30 secs its gone
