hi, im new to this and i desperately need some help. My xperia play stops working, i think i know why i just dont know how to fix it. my phone is rooted with stock rom/kernel, sorry i dont know anything about it, but my firmware is .42 android version 2.3.4. I uninstalled the digital clocks and replaced it with Animated Weather Clock&Widget(AWC&W) then converted it into system app using titanium backup. I wiped the data of the AWC&W and uninstalled it 'coz im gonna replace it with another widget, then suddenly my phone went all black. Everytime i reboot my phone it always stops at the sony ericsson logo and doesnt go any further. is there anyway i could fix it? i hope this doesnt concern any hardware repair. thanks a lot!
Just restore it using PC Companion or flash it with flashtool
lol! i was just about to say that. i already fixed it.. sorry for the hassle.. and thanks, i love this site!

hi xda people,
i've purchased the xperia arc a few weeks ago and i'm stunned by the speed of this little machine. i have a little problem though.
due to the problems with not enough phone memory (i've installed a lot of apps and games) i've chosen to root my phone and delete some applications i didn't need. I didn't actualy delete any of the calendar applications cause i figured i might need them later. somehow though, i've lost the baility to use the app called touch calendar....when i start it there is no problem whatsdoever, but when i want to add an event i get the error 'you have no calendars.'.
my question is simple: does anyone have an idea what i might have deleted? and how do i get it back? if there's no way to individualy reinstall the specific apps or programs using the calendar (sync maybe?) is there a way to get the original xperia arc ROM from some place, reinstall it and fix the problems?
any help is appreciated, I really need my calendar app
greetz,
Flexikon.
Bump, same problem here :S:S
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201262
or just try via SEUS, and after that try to root it again.
OP, this is not a place to ask questions. There is a Q&A section for that...FYI.
Best thing to do would be to re flash your firmware using flashtool, with the ' wipe user data' flash switched off.. That way your get new system software, but don't lose any of the apps you've installed.

I have an Xperia Arc S with rooted Sony ICS on it.
Please help! I can no longer get USB to work. I uninstalled some apps in Titanium Backup without backing up first (idiot) and I then installed a custom SystemUI.apk (bigger idiot). I rebooted and no longer have the bar at the top of the screen. If I connect the USB cable nothing happens! I want to do a repair but can't get Windows to see it!
EDIT: I plugged it into my laptop and it's detected and installed PC Companion. I am trying a repair right now. Hopefully it should be OK. :/

See you are nearly there with repair of the phone. As a way of testing if USB is working can you charge it via plug socket if yes then USB is not broken, just a bad driver on pc.

Download FlashTool and the firmware you want to flash and flash it.
Also I recommend you to use my tutorial + list on how to remove junk apps to keep your phone 100% working

Thanks guys. I already followed that list before the mishap. Not sure if it was anything on that list that caused it. I think it was defo the systemUI.apk change. I was trying to get the facy taskbar with the enable/disable buttons on the Arc S (the APK is for the Arc which may be why it b0rked). I don't know why Windows on this PC decided not to recognise it but after a reboot it now detects it fine (But I have just repaired it and reinstalled all my apps + root).
I need to get CWM on it really (I'm a bit scaredy cat to hack the bootloader) so I can just do flashes from SD card. I think I will leave well enough alone for now though.
The apps I have backed up and uninstalled are Let's Golf. OfficeSuite. FUN&Downloads. Update Center. Wisepilot. Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited.
Are all of these safe to remove? I can do a restore if needed.
The other things running in the background that are bugging me are Custom settings. SecureClockService (what are these?) and CrashMonitor (Is it really OK to kill that?). Plus of course SIM service and Google services which I take it I need.
Maybe I should take this to that thread you pointed out to me.
Uninstall all those apks
Theres a list of all apps which you can remove
Check general forums
me too
hey guys,

Hi there, Im wondering if anyone can help - This is my first android phone so i feel a bit lost in this forum. Well i recieved the phone and i did a factory reset and now i cant access the 'More Games' in the Xperia Games section. It just says Loading.
The phone is running 2.3.4 and Build 4.0.2.A.0.4.2
any help would be great.
thanks
you can try clearing the apps data go to applications in settings menu then find the app then clear data that mite help
Ive tried that, also tried to reinstall using sony updater. Factory reset + Data reset..
I was half way thru downloading fifa 12 as well
Is there a way i can re-install android or summit?
If you want to re-install the ROM you should try to flash a new one with flashtool.
I have the same problem...
I suspect some files from the SD card might be missing and that causes the problem?
As I did a complete reset recently which included wiping off the SD card.
I would GREATLY appreciate advice on this as I don't intend to fiddle with rooting, flashing and so on. Surely there must be an official way to fix this.

They will show up in a few minutes / hours after restore

It would appear as though this android commander app has broken the market links. Best course of action would be to use titanium backup and redo the procedure. If you don't want to root either devices though, try redownloading from the store, and pray it doesn't wipe the user data.
thank you guys
I dont want to root coz of the warranty void issue..
I had a wildfire be4 this(Still have it).. nd even though i know what all can i do after rooting i jus cant take the risk of loosing my warranty on such an expensive phone..
anywais getting back to the topic
-I dont have any major user data yet..i mean i jus bought the phone yesterday.. i have hardly had my hands on it
-The APK's that im installing are the backup(Also via android commander) of my apps (Just apps,no data) of my wildfire
-Is there any good app/software which will backup jus the apk's on the phone along with the market links so that i can install it via sd card??.. coz downloading each and evey app again could be a pain in the a*s??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-My phone's software version is 1.26.720.2... nd im get the option of a system update.. should i take it??..coz i remember that when we got the 2.2 update for the wildfire.... mostly no body downloaded it as it updated the bootloader.. nd there was no way to crack the bootloader.. so again, should i take this update?? its of 33mb
If you go to google play store using your pc and log into your account you can then send apps direct to your phone via wifi.
Check the my apps tag to see what you have previously downloaded.
Can someone guide me on the FOTA updates??

We don't have S-Off, so we don't know which bootloader (if any) will get S-Off.
As you know, if you upgrade bootloader, you cannot downgrade it without S-Off.
Your choice.
Do the system update and once you login with ur PC and go to play store. try installing one app from there and then all apps will be automatically start showing on your device app store

Thank U for the info..
Okay, that's a noob story that I suppose you have heard before. It goes like that:
Just rooted my Play using SuperOneClick and, using Titanium Backup, uninstalled all the bloatware.
Problem is, I also uninstalled the International Keyboard - by mistake, I was just looking for the Chinese one. That means, my phone is now left keyboardless!
How can I restore it without having to flash a stock ROM or anything of the kind?
Oh, plus another little problem: whenever I tap the About phone menu, I get a message stating "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And always get sent back to the main screen.
Any ideas?
You can get another keyboard from the Play store on your computer. It'll automatically install to your device.

That's what I'll do.
Tried a factory reset. Solved the com.android.settings problem but didn't restore the keyboard.
I know there is plenty of free Android keyboards available but, is there a way to find and install the default one?
I think someone will have to upload theirs, but my Play isn't on stock anymore. Or you could restore using SEUS or PC Companion, but then you'll probably lose root. This won't work if you unlocked the bootloader, it will brick it if you try.
So the way arround is probably to do it all over again. Since u already n still hav root (i guess) just start with install a recovery via cwm auto-installer (find it in play store), make a backup via recovery, flash a new .ftf via flashtool, re-root the phone n restore only data via recovery. That should get u started again.
