phone won't shut down even 'volume up+power' - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

tried to replace systemUI.apk using ES file explorer
moved the apk to \system, changed permission, then to \system\app
confirmed overwrite action
screen instantly turned black with nothing but 'XPERIA' in the middle of it, i.e. the screen u see everytime phone boots up
volume up+power pressed won't shut it down
only way is to wait the battery dies out?
desperately need some help here:crying: many thanks!!

Are you deodexed?
You'll probably need to drain battery.

Couple things to keep in mind - you should use Root Explorer or sim., I found file manager like ES/Astro doesn't do the job right. You should move the file & change permission in /System first before move to /System/app.
As right now, you can try again holding firmly both power+vol.up - until vibrate one (dont hold too long vibrate 3 times will give you softbrick). If not then Yes you do have to wait for battery die out. There is no other way unless dig in the phone manually remove battery - very hard to do, I tried unsuccessful.
If you have cwm & backup. After charge get in cwm & restore. Otherwise reflash rom.

I use the app 'FILE MANAGER'. Be sure to enable root access and write in settings at the bottom.
If you need more help read this thread completely and post questions there.

yes phone is deodexed.
luckily the battery level was at 14% before going 'soft brick'
didn't wait too long and phone shut down in 1.5 hour
then i plugged in charger and successfully powered on phone this morning:victory:
system UI has been changed to what i have replaced with before crash
shall i flash zip in CWM if it is more safety? if yes how do i create a zip file?
thanks in advance:highfive:

If I had read this tips before then I don't need disassemble my phone!
I meet same problems when I replaced a font lib with ES explorer half an hour before, but I made a mistake to hold power+vol.up until vibrate 3 times(I never use this feature before)
Fortunately the phone recovered after 5 minutes disassemble/assemble!

next time, press voulme up + power for about 15 seconds
when it vibrate three times it will be off

I have the same problem, but i cant move the files from sd/downloads to system/apps i copy them with rootexplorer, but then dont give me the option to paste em... i just cant move the files to that folder, any ideas?
ok my bad, i wasnt copying properly... sorry
one problem solved
well i managed to copy and paste the files, but shortly after the phone went death.... and now it STILL DEAD!!! black screen just the 2 bottons left and right of the home button are on... and its been like that for 10 mins... wot went wrong?
Battery off and then reboot doesnt work?
Can you boot to recovery? If you can then do a factory reset.
Still stuck
Well, ive removed the battery and tryin to reboot, but same problem all over everytime, screen just black and no response whatsoever, with my mobile version, i think i cant go to reboot screen but the traditional method ( the power button combination ) so ive installed the sdk manager to do it through CMD, and before it worked ( before when i rooted and lag fixed my galaxy s i9000 ), but now it doesnt recognize the phone connected... so im totally stranded here...
well a little later, i managed to go into recovery screen, and did factory reset... still black brick... too bad i was lovin my galaxy s...
you click setting goto applycation check managerment click running choose file and clear data now reboot
nah the phone is dead, i think my another mistake here, is that i copied the twwiz3 and odex, for another version of my phone, that mite have killed if for good... it wont switch on, so now i basically cant do "anything" with it... ill try to send it to repairs...

sound?

hi there
i just managed to install android onto a HTC "Kaiser" TyTn2.
everything i need seems to work fine except sound and wifi.
i installed RLS15 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759894
using KaiserCustomRUU.exe
now there seems to be no sound. i called a number, and i hear nothing at all. i tried pressing speaker, and same no sound. vibrates working though. i also tried pulling the vibrate tab but it didnt work. still no sound.
about wifi, i have a Ad-Hoc network from my computer (which i can connect to from my ipod touch 3g - iOS4), but even after turning Wifi on in settings, it just doesnt seem to see my network....
btw i got no "welcome to android" or set up or anything... i did hold the DPad
any help?
I'm not sure but try out another Radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 <---- Here
Flash it with HARDSPL or just using CustomRUU when in the tri-color screen.
I could be wrong but that's what I'm guessing
Wi-Fi... Wich kernel did you use?
Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 Post 118
And use the Androidupdate I attached, It's the one from Liquid wich should fix the Wi-Fi
Let us know if it fixed it
(God i had to edit it a million times before i did it right )
calls do definately go out. i called someone, i coudnt hear anything, and they called me back.
What do you mean by "Welcome To Android" ?
i read in some website that the first screen when booting android for the first time is Welcome to Android

In some builds, when you boot Android, it gives this kind of tutorial on how to use your phone (Wich has as title "Welcome to full android on Kaiser" for example), time and date settings and connect to Google account, It's possible that it isn't in the one you use
Don't worry about it, the welcome to android doesn't show when u press D-pad, the D-pad is to get into the menu when ur kernel is booting (the one with black background and white letters)
The menu is to install your system, make backups, clear dalvik and others
ok... but what do i do now about the sound? (and the wifi if posibble)

Scroll down until you see this: KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs.
Pick a radio and download it.
HARDSPL IS NEEDED FOR THE RADIO!
Extract the file and change the name from the NBH file to KAISIMG.NBH if the name is something else.
Copy KAISIMG.NBH onto the root of your sdcard and plug your sd card into the phone.
Hold down the camera button and turn the device on or reset it.
When you see a tri-colored screen, release the camera button.
When you see a blue text with something like RADIO (i guess) press the power button (just 1 little press, no long pressing)
The device will now update your RADIO, when finished just reset it.
Now reinstall your Android version by holding down the D-center button when asked, then selecting Install System and make it clear data.

I don't think there's another way, just, turn phone off, hold camera button in while pressing the power button once
Release the camera button after you see the colored screen

Did you put hardspl on it anyways?
Thanks... What i managed to do was to simply get into the tricolors by holding power+home, then i connected to computer, and SPL'ed from CustomRUU. it worked, and sound is working. i tried your way but it woudnt detect my .NBH. thanks anyways
but where can i get a androidupdate.tar for the wifi for?
btw quick point, but my camera seems to work!!!! i remember reading that the camera WONT work on android. (it didnt work before installing the latest radio)
Thanks for the file. i just tried installing the liquid update from this post, and all i get is error under wifi (before wifi would turn on - but it kept on searching and found nothing). i did install a old update before this. could that have messed it up?
i also have a problem with USB mounting. I click turn on USB storage, and it works randomly. it works 1 time - doesnt work 10... replkuggin and stuff doesnt work. as in "Android Phone" is showing in Eject, but nothing is showing in explorer
EDIT
-----------------------
I just re-installed android and now installed the liquid update.
NOW wifi turns on, but it just scans (has been scanning for 5 minutes)
my ipod touch sees the network immediately.

It could be that it's not possible to connect to an ad-hoc network, I've got no idea about that.
Hope someone else will post here and answer that.
U should really try connecting with a normal Wi-Fi network
Go onto the street and look for appartments or houses with open networks just to test?
i live in a small town..... no one here has internet let alone wifi....
aww that's balls
got no idea on how to try it then

Really don't know where to put.

First of all - I am a Sprint customer with the Latest Htc Rom -stock
List of problems and actions taken.
Problems
Soft reset reboots with phone in Airplane mode.
When the end key is pushed not long pressed but pushed it puts phone into Airplane mode.
Battery run time is not about half or even less than it was before.
Actions taken
Removed battery for about 10 minutes and tried a hard reset. Got to the screen where you are supposed to hit volumn up to restore to original and well the volumn up button gets pressed but nothing happens. So after waiting for about 15 minutes I do a soft reset to get back to the HTC Sense screen (today screen). I take the phone out of Airplane mode cause from reset. I hit the volumn up button and it works fine. I tap the end key and it puts me back in Airplane mode.
So I reflash stock rom back in that by the way wouldn't go until I unlocked the phone with HardSPL. Apon first reboot it still boots with phone shutting down into Airplane mode. Turn phone back on then turn power off. Take battery out. Replace battery. While holding Talk ad End buttons I tap power on for hard reset. Goes through try colored screen then to the volumn up option screen. I tap volumn up and nothing still happens.
I'm looking at Task 29 but I am worried about the volumn button not working.
Anyone have any ideas on what direction to take. Thank you

Which model is your device? You can find the model number above the barcode that is under your battery. It will be in the form of RHODxxx where "xxx" is a three digit number. From here, I'll be able to help you a bit better once I know which model you are using.
Thank you for the reply. The model# is M8RHOD400. Since my first post I have tried flashing other Roms and I think it was the Sharkie Rom that actually said it could find the end key file. Other than that all the other Roms I tried pretty much do the same. When end key is tapped it shut phone off. Plus the volumn up still doesn't work at the hard reset state. It works normal otherwise but when I try to hard reset it will not go past the first screen that says press vol. up to reset. Thanks again so far.

Ok, so the first thing we need to test for is hardware fault. To do this, you will need to perform a task29 and then flash the latest Sprint ROM. After that, try to see if you have the same problems. Please do not install anything while testing. If it works fine like this, then we will need to do some specific testing on the custom ROMs to narrow down the cause.
Things have changed a bit. Long morning. I tried flashing a few ROMs to see if any would fix it. I know a feeble attempt. Well one went bad and never got past the splash screen when it went to restart. Won't connect to ActiveSync. So I tried reflashing from SD card. and I get to
RHODIMG.nbh
OS -
Press Power button
to start update image
Press VolDn button
to cancel update image
The problem is I press power button and nothing happens. I press any buttons and nothing happens. I pulled the battery and reinstalled it and got the same again. I tried to run Task 29 but how. Won't load. Tried renaming rbh file but got the same results as above. I need a way to hard reset without buttons and its obvious that nothing working outside of windows. I'm lost.

First of all, you should stop trying to update with the SD card. That's the problem you're having, so we need to try something different. Flash it via USB. You don't need an Activesync connection. It just needs to change from SERIAL to USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen. Once that happens, simply run the RUU and it will flash to your device. Do task29 first. Then do the stock Sprint ROM. Task29 cannot be flashed via SD anyway. The NBH file in task29 is a filler file. It's the actual RUU in it that is modified to perform the wipe.
So, let's try this again.
1. Get into the bootloader by holding voldown while turning the device on.
2. Plug it in to a USB port on your PC.
3. Once the text at the bottom of the screen changes from SERIAL to USB, begin running the task29 RUU.
4. Once the progress bar gets to 99% on the task29 flash, hold the voldown button again and await the restart.
5. Once it restarts into the bootloader and the text changes again, begin flashing the latest Sprint ROM.
6. Allow the ROM to boot up all the way and settle down, then give it one soft reset.
7. When it comes back again, go ahead and test it out to see if your problems persist.
8. Report back here with the results, and we'll move on from this step.
Task 29 doesnt seem to working because it reboots back to the last rom. Everything is still there. I really don't think that any of the hardware buttons work outside of working in the OS and at startup. IE volumn works when unit is on or when putting unit into bootloader mode but Volumn button does not work when trying to do a hard reset or a Task 29. Power button turns on unit, turns off unit, puts into bootloader mode, starts hardreset. I have loaded a Custom Rom just because maybe with the X button on the bottom and bigger it might be easier. I'm all ears from here on out. Its seems I need to clear ROM or Cmos without button usage. I don't know if that makes any sense to you but like I said I'm all ears on what to do now. Thanks for the little lesson on flashing without Activesync. Feeling kinda stupid about that one. Thanks for the help so far.

I don't know where you got your task29 utility from, but you cannot run it from SD. It HAS to be used with the RUU that came with it. It is the modified RUU that runs the task29 function. Just to eliminate the confusion, I'm uploading a modified RUU to this post that is very simple to use. Extract it from the archive and follow these instructions.
1. Connect the device (in bootloader) to your PC and wait for USB to show in the bootloader.
2. Run the RhodiumWAdvancedRUU.exe
3. Select the third radio button that says "Perform task29 only."
4. Uncheck the box that says "Restart utility when task29 completed."
5. Hit Next and keep going through it until it flashes.
6. Once the progress bar gets to 99%, hold your voldown button and wait for the reboot.
7. Once you are back into the bootloader, wait for USB to show up on the screen again and then flash the stock ROM.
8. Once the flash is complete, allow it to boot once and settle, then soft reset.
9. Once it restarts, test the problems again.
10. If the problems persist, we can move on from here.
Note: If you want to make sure that the task29 utility worked, feel free to try and boot it after performing the task29 and see how far it gets. If it gets stuck at the bootscreen, then you know it worked. Simply pull the battery, or hit the reset button, and power it back on while holding voldown to return to the bootloader and continue with step 7.
I cannot find the uploaded file that you sent, but also I am not trying to run the Task 29 file from SD card. I'm trying from the comp but like I said, when in any mode other than Windows, I really believe none of the buttons work. Volumn down at 99%. Volumn up on a hardreset. The buttons work to get me into the various mode either from Windows or at startup, but once into the special modes I think I don't get any buttons. That and the fact that the only thing the endkey button does in turn phone on and off but doesnt end anything is peculiar to a person like me. Anyways I didn't get your Task 29 file yet.
Thanks again

That's because I forgot to upload it. Sorry. here it is.
I know you feel that way, but there are a few things we can try. We just need to go step by step to rule things out. Please trust me on this. I'm trying to keep from saying that your phone is having hardware troubles, because I think it is fixable as it is now. We just have a certain order to attack it from.
I do appreciate the help I have always gotten from this site and thank you. The worries that I have are actually getting any buttons to work when doing any work on the phone outside of the windows format. I noticed that at 99% I am to tap the vol. dw button and I don't think thats gonna work. From my desktop computer exsperience that I have I know there is actually 3 modes happening that work in conjunction with one another. CMOS MSDOS and Windows. I don't think its a windows issure and I don't know what else there is in these phones that work, but I will try this program and thank you again. I will let you know where I at with it in a few.

Even if holding voldown doesn't work, you will still be able to boot back into the bootloader. task29 will clear the internal memory of everything. There won't be anything to load, so it will hang on the splash screen if it tries to load. Don't worry. We're going to try everything we can before we call it quits. This is a unique problem, but I think it can be fixed. Like I said, we just have to go in order.
Okay. First of all I'm sorry for the void between your last message and now. Its been a wild week so far. Thanks again for the help so far. With that said and done heres were I am at. I tried your Task 29 software and it did seem to be different at visualy. Possible problem is, is that when it rebooted after following your instructions, it did not go to the tri colored screen but to a blueish looking screen with the words Touch Pro 2 across the center. It almost looked like a splash screen, but never went any farther. So I'm not sure if that was acceptable or not as a proper task 29 but I did go ahead and load the stock rom into it and it went find. After the first reboot it started up with Airplane mode on. I shut it off and turned on the phone again. Everything was okay. You can only assign the phone button and nothing else that I know of so I couldn't see what was assigned to the end key so I pushed it. immediately it stuck the phone back into airplane mode again. Push or I should say tap and it took it out of it. I realize that by default the phone set the long press end key to shut the airplane mode on and off, but I am tapping and only tapping as I always have in the pass. Well so I got the idea of trying a different Rom in hopes that something will program the key to not shut the phone function off everytime I accidently tap the end key, I tried a few and Sharkies seems to surfice for the moment. By tapping the end key only brings up the Comm Manager instead of shutting the phone function down. Funny thing is though is that also was Sharkies default for long press. The problem has become with that now is that it has been just popping up by itself over and over. So I started tapping the end key when it popped up and suddenly it seems that it worked until I realized the the end key doesnt seem to be working at all. It clicks but thats it. So what to do now. Good thing at this time is the fact that I dont have to worry anymore about accidentally tapping the end key.Good chance it could be the button it self. I don't know. What ya think?

So I'm not sure if that was acceptable or not as a proper task 29 but I did go ahead and load the stock rom into it and it went find. After the first reboot it started up with Airplane mode on. I shut it off and turned on the phone again. Everything was okay. You can only assign the phone button and nothing else that I know of so I couldn't see what was assigned to the end key so I pushed it. immediately it stuck the phone back into airplane mode again. Push or I should say tap and it took it out of it. I realize that by default the phone set the long press end key to shut the airplane mode on and off, but I am tapping and only tapping as I always have in the pass. Well so I got the idea of trying a different Rom in hopes that something will program the key to not shut the phone function off everytime I accidently tap the end key, I tried a few and Sharkies seems to surfice for the moment. By tapping the end key only brings up the Comm Manager instead of shutting the phone function down. Funny thing is though is that also was Sharkies default for long press. The problem has become with that now is that it has been just popping up by itself over and over. So I started tapping the end key when it popped up and suddenly it seems that it worked until I realized the the end key doesnt seem to be working at all. It clicks but thats it. So what to do now. Good thing at this time is the fact that I dont have to worry anymore about accidentally tapping the end key.Good chance it could be the button it self. I don't know. What ya think?

On task29, it removes the entire ROM from the device's internal memory. There was nothing to boot up, so it stopped at the splash screen. That's how task29 works.
Well, this allows us to completely remove the possibility of the software's effect on your problem. What is happening is that the device is recognizing a short press as a long press. Since the button commands are interpreted by the SPL, we've got one last thing to try before declaring hardware fault. We'll need to flash the stock SPL, again to see if that clears it up. To do this, I'd ask that you flash the latest stock ROM to your device. After this, you'll need to go back to the CDMA Hard SPL thread and grab the latest stock SPL. Flash that to your device. Then boot it up and see if the problems persist. If it continues to register short presses as long one, then you have a hardware fault. If this fixes it, then you should be able to flash Hard SPL again and load another ROM with no problem.

[Q] Tab 3 10.1 GT-5210 stuck in Odin

This morning, before even started with rooting, my brand new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) went into the Odin Download modus without any problem.
But, the Odin software isn't able to even see the Tab 3 itself. Just the Odin screen and nothing else.
I have tried to reset or power down the device, with all possible keys and key combinations. But no luck so far.
Does anyone else have a suggestion ?

To manually exit Download mode, you have to hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds (or more). It should then reboot normally if you haven't changed anything.
To get your PC to recognize your Tab, you need to download and install the Samsung USB drivers (or just install KIES). Also go ahead and make sure USB debugging is turned on in Developer settings (to make troubleshooting easier in the future if necessary).

Thanks for your relply. Problem is, I can hold down the power button until my hand falls off.
It won't power down
..... After 8 hours the tablet went down, because of an empty battery.....
Now waiting for it to have power enough stored to boot again....

Yes it booted up without a problem.
It only took a time (long! > 8hrs !) for the battery to be fully charged.
I have the same issue, TAB3 10-1.
I entered Odin Download Mode and the device wont switch down when power button pressed. I disconnected the cable and the screen still remains.
So I have to wait hours and hours till the tablet will discharge.
By the way that file pre-rooted md5 did not download at all and I have to download manually - 30kbit/sec is hell of a speed = aprox 16 hours and errors during download are very likely, phew.
PS - jailbreaking iPhone is far more easy
Yep, the tab 3 GT-5210 with x86 processor wont reboot from odin mode. Ive tried the suggestions here and elsewhere and agree with the others in this thread. Ive held down the power button for minutes by hand, and now it has been about 20 mins and counting with tape holding it down. Odin 3.09 can see the device and talk to it, but it wont reboot it without a flash. Ive seen suggestions elsewhere that flashing a blank file will work around the issue and cause the auto reboot to happen, but it does not. Odin fails to load the file, then does nothing and does not auto reboot. When I disconnected the tab from the pc after playing with odin, the battery part of the tab was warm so it had been charging off the pc Ive been searching quite a while, it seems the only way to get out of odin mode is to wait for it to go flat as discussed here.

Ok, I created a way to do this.
Firstly you need odin 3.09. My version contains "Odin3 v3.09.exe" which is 2290688 bytes with an MD5 sum of 46947de16219dcbec41c8290353ad50c
Open the exe in your favorite hex editor and at offset 712A change 75 to EB. This disables the "no bin file is selected" error message, so you can do nothing and cause the reboot.
This screen shot was taken after the reboot. Configure the app like this and click start. It'll do nothing, reboot, and say PASS! :good:
due to being < 10 posts I cant post this link. But you can resassemble it. Mods, if you want to verify this link and fix my post, go ahead.

If your not confident with odin and dont want to risk your tablet, your better of waiting for the battery to go flat. But if you understand the risks and what ive done here, maybe it'll save you the wait.
And when you did this were you able to install a new recovery w/o the old one being reinstalled?
Sorry, wrong message

phone backup and fix

Hi! if you want to really help me please read till the end because the problem is in stages and i want you to
have all the info! :angel:
I have a LG g3 (LGD855..) and yesterday it suddenly crushed and didn't come back - i pulled out the battery and put it in again and the it came back with a weird error:
DemiGod Crash Handler : Kernel Crash! :
Press key to choose Dload Mode/Reboot
1)Volume Up: Dload Mode.
2) Volume Down: Reboot.
etc'
Of course it didn't got into dload mode. I did some digging and found that is fatal error of the device and nothing can be done but try hard reset - but then I tried something else i read that is to pull both power b and v down button at same time when starting and get into safe mode - i tryed that - it didn't got to safe mode but it booted correctly!!! its alive!! - NOT FOR LONG. I managed to backup about 50% of my files and then it crushed again to the same kernel error. This morning I pulled out the battery and put it back after an hour and it came to a situation where the LED is in like greenish and blue light fading and the LG life's good (sure..) screen is showing - stuck like that and every few min changing the animation but no more than that. I managed to get the message "device" on adb so I figure maybe I can pull some files out of it, or maybe push a recovery like twrp and try to do something from there.. but i still want my 50% data left there so factory reset is really the last resort. Please help me.. what is my best option?
is it possible to pull files to my comp like that?
is it possible to push the recovery with adb?
and what kind of recovery do i need?
and will it wipe out all my data?
My device is rooted and i have no recovery or SD card. Thank you!!!
*update: adb reboot bootloader - does nothing but reset and get back to the LG life sucks screen...
