[SOLVED] MODS PLEASE /THREAD
Sooo... Let's start from the beginning. I have bought a C1905 and rooted it successfully using kingo android root. Mostly using it to transfer files with Root Explorer and mount GTA SA and Dead Trigger with FolderMount. (15.1.C.2.8)
My brother's Xperia T didn't receive an update here(Vip MK, Macedonia), so I didn't want to be patient and flashed my phone to 4.3 successfully! Everything worked nicely, no lag(the UI is ugly as hell, white & leftover black), unfortunately no root from kingo and all vroot did was reboot. Tried this thread and it didn't work. Unlocked my bootloader, then without testing it(i.e. not booting it up to see it work) I flashed the boott.img from there. It worked. However, I noticed my phone just didn't want to boot up. It passed the Sony, the Xperia, but at the swirling colors animation it loops seemingly infinitely. Removed the battery and tried flashing 4.3. Seemed to flash ok, but it didn't make a difference. PCC is only noticing the phone as Sony/Sony Ericsson device in flashmode. Later, tried to relock bootloader using flashtool and I unlocked it again. I'm scared as **** now, I think that getting the 4.3 stock kernel is the fix. The kernel is waaaaaaaaaay too buried in those 4.3 threads that I can't find it.
Those more experienced with this phone, can surely tell me what I should really do. Thanks a looooot!
First flash the 4.3 ftf on your phone.....then boot up the phone normally.....then unlock your bootloader....then flash the kernel from the guide which you have used to root your phone....then flash the UPDATE-SuperSu-1.94.zip from the guide now you have successfully rooted your phone....

Should I relock my bootloader and THEN flash it?... Should I wipe off my data from the internals? I have made a backup before going to 4.3 2 days ago, luckily. Also, I think that my flash from ~6 hours ago said that usb debugging was needed. What gives?
Also, how should I flash SuperSU? Kernel, system, flashmode?
Not to forget, thanks for replying!

You don't actually need to Relock bootloader.....don't need to wipe data from internal storage.....u should flash kernel first then super su and then just reboot the system....

Sooo... I have proved that bootloader is the problem... Unlocked it and it's looping.

Just to be 100000% sure so that no one else gets in a bad situation like us, unlock bootloader using flashtool, not with the sony site. That was my problem and how I unlocked bootloader.
ALSO: Another problem I had was that SuperSU was there but it wasn't appearing in the app menu. To fix this: Go to Settings>Apps>Swipe right to all>Find SuperSU>Unistall Updates. It should appear now. If it still doesn't appear, go in the play store and force update it.
I suggest haresh adds this above to his main thread.

Hi there.
The other day, I flashed the stock ICS firmware onto my phone. I installed this with no problems. Once I had it all set up, I was notified that there was a firmware update available. After downloading this and pressing install, my phone proceeded to stop working. If I take out the battery, and then put it back in and plug my phone in, FLASHTOOL says it is in flash mode. I have tried flashing on the same ICS firmware and stock GB firmware and it will still not work. Any ideas?
EDIT: I have solved this issue. Take a look at this thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 Keep looking for a working download link in the thread. I promise you will find one eventually. The multiupload ones WILL NOT work.
I need more details before I can tell whats wrong. Did you do anything to your phone?

My SXZL is charged while phone is off
without fix_charger_for_Z.zip
It was my jumping to a conclusion.
Forget below plz.
Oops, That is my mistake. Sorry.
There is a bug in "cwm-install.sh"
It fails to make /system/bin/charger.
Please try to install "fix_charger_for_Z.zip" with CWM.
It is for Z, but probably works on ZL I think.

I don't think your Rom is the cause. I was actually attempting to flash your latest rom and couldn't get into recovery. I didn't have any issues flashing your previous rom. I'm not getting the blue led or any led when I power the phone back on.

Do you still have root?
If you have root flash can again.
If no root, run the root tool then install can again.

I am unable to power down my HTC One X. I go to my bootloader, and then select POWER DOWN.
It powers down immediately, but powers up again. I've tried unplugging it from charging, then plugging in again, and a lot of different ways. It just won't stay off.
Anyone know what's wrong? I need to charge it, but it won't charge properly when it's turned on.
Have you relocked it - and now have the problem? Or tried a restore and now have the problem?
You need to be clear about what you have done...
Custom recovery ? Yes.....thats the issue !
It is re-locked yes. A simple erase of cache and then left for a few hours to run out ended up with this.
Next issue is to get it to stock.
Why didn't you say that in the first place? You need to unlock again, nandroid restore the stock ROM and then flash stock kernel followed by clear cache. Custom recovery is irrelevant.

No it's not, a custom recovery can wake the device upon connection !

Well if you don't (and how many times have you read that you MUST ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP?) then use the stock ROM that Mike1986 kindly publishes alongside the ARHD ROM.
You will need to flash the Boot.img he provides AFTER flashing the ROM.

Yes it will definitely erase everything
Even your root will be lost
Just simply flash the ftf file in flashmode using flastool
I would recommend to go for the update if root is not that important for you
Becoz the phone is now hell lot smooth and fast :thumbup:

the problem maybe because u didnt wipe data and cache.and i think cm 9 needs unlock bootloader.if u r new,u can unlock bootloader and flash kitkat roms if u dont use camera much.and keep that ftf handy coz its the way u can revive ur phone.i have 3 ftfs of all 3 android versions
