[Q] ran into some trouble installing freeXperia on Xperia Pro

Hey, everybody.
Had some trouble recently, after a second install of CM10 FreeXperia (version 244) on my Xperia Pro phone. Suddenly, I noticed that the device won't charge when I plug it in (unless I turn off the phone), and that mobile data isn't working anymore. And I'm kinda clueless as to where to go from here. Here's the story;
I've had the device rooted for a month or so, and a few days ago decided to switch to the FreeXperia rom.
Did an install, everything worked fine. Had it running nice & smooth for 3 days, no problem whatsoever, then got an impulse to switch DPI settings. Downloaded "LCD Density Modder", set DPI to 220, and the device was now stuck at blackscreen during boot.
I decided the best option for me would be to reinstall the FreeXperia rom, get everything clean again, and start over without fussing with DPI settings. So i booted into CWM recovery, did a wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, installed the FreeXperia 244 zip again (aswell as correct gapps), and had everything up and running again!
Atleast that's what I THOUGHT... but by evening, I discovered:
1. the phone wouldn't charge when i plugged it in.
Tried several different chargers, none works. HOWEVER, the phone recharges it's battery when i turn it off.
and,
2. mobile data isnt working, only wi-fi.
No settings changed, looked them through and couldn't find anything obvious (as far as my knowledge goes).
Making calls and sending sms still works, though.
So, I'm a bit stuck here. I'd be extremely glad if someone could give me a few pointers, or instruct me how to do a "proper" re-install (since i assume my way of re-installing things caused these problems).
Anyone got suggestions?

What I tried again now was:
1. wipe everything
2. flash new kernel
3. wipe everything
4. install rom & gapps
5. wipe everything again
However, the problem remains exactly the same.

Download the ROM.zip again, could be a problem with the zip file. Make sure you do a clean install.

Thanks for the tip!! managed to fix it though, through:
1. charging issue resolved itself by doing the aforementioned wipe-install-wipe procedure, and
2. internet issue was resolved by manually entering APN (it had somehow been erased).
so, we've got ourselves a happy ending, here.

[Q] No sim card detected after full wipe - CM11

So my phone worked just fine with CM11.
Now I got a One+ One and I wanted to give my Nexus to my parents.
It worked fine with the new sim but then I did a full wipe (factory reset + all data on sd) with TWRP.
When I boot up now I don't get asked for a pin code and there is nothing in the statusbar like "no sim inserted"
I'm really confused as it worked perfect and now it doesn't anymore
EDIT:
Every network related action such as dialer,... stops when I try to use it. When I try to watch the system information for phone number and so on, the proces settings stops

Flash a factory image to it. Should fix problems easily and give a nice new fresh zippy feel to the phone.

Does Flashing ROM's causes damage to "motherboard"?

Hi to all Geeks, G3 lovers and developers,
I wanted to share this information and know what exactly went wrong with my phone.
Long back, My LG G3 D855 (32GB) was running Kitkat (v4.4). I used One click root to root my device. Auto REC Kitkat to Install recovery. Then i also Flashed CloudyG3 2.5. All were working fine.
Then i came to know about Fulmics ROM (may be v2.5). So flashed it. Everything was working fine.
After few Days.
I flashed Fulmics v5. (ALL ROMS I CLEAN WIPED i.e. wipe>Advanced wipe> wipe everything except internal and external memory). Problems Started from here. My device's memory card slot stopped working. It used to mount and umount frequently. Tried going back to older worked roms and stuff. Tried inserting other sd card. Tried formatting. NO USE at all.
After few days my device's screen started displaying lines, flashes lines, and finally display stopped working. I had to take it to service center and new motherboard was replaced. Now, phone has developed yellow tint on left hand side. Also running stock 6.0 v30E. :crying:
My question is,
1) Is there any solution to get rid of yellow spots on display? ( other than replacing a new one)
2) Did my motherboard fail due to flashing ROMS? Have you people experienced these issues?
3) I have heard twrp 2.7.8.x had mounting issues. Thats y i lost sd card mounting after flashing?
4) Will it happen again if i flash any other rom?
Or am i doing anything or any step collectively wrong?
PLZ anyone help me!!

It may be the LCD.
(Kind out of theme)
Personally my LCD had shown 2 or 3 dead pixels and the after a while it showed about 12 and it's visible to grey colour..
But give this a try.
Go to Google Play store and install "Dead Pixel test and fix"
Start the test and leave it for a about an hour.It may get rid of it for a while.. But i fully recommend to change the Screen.

I was having that problem with my t-mobile D851 on a stock MM 6.0 which I had rooted. The external SD card would not stay mounted and kept coming up with a corrupted file system. I tried both exfat and fat32 formats and long formatted under Windows (not the quick format). Also tried a different sdcard. I couldn't solve the problem. Then I installed CloudyG3 v2.5, but that didn't solve the problem either. Finally I went to Fulmics 6.6 and it's been without problem since.

I don't think so. Flashing excessively will take a toll on your motherboard flash memory, eventually after much flashing, but most people don't ever reach that point, the phone will probably get old and worn out before that happens.

3) I have heard twrp 2.7.8.x had mounting issues. Thats y i lost sd card mounting after flashing?

Not likely. I think that the most likely cause would be some incompatibility between the rom and the phone, or possibly the microSD socket, etc.
4) Will it happen again if i flash any other rom?
You may want to try Fulmics 6.6 / 6.7

Hi, When G3 had mounting issues, i tried going back to cloudyg3 2.5. Faced same mounting issues.
Then i had to take my G3 to the service centre. They said motherboard was damaged. They replaced it.
Now, after being on stock V30E 6.0 for a while.
I Rooted and flashed fulmics 6.7. Everything is working fine
But as you said, flashing it to fulmics 6.7, sd card worked fine. I could not do this cos at that point off time fulmics 6.7 wasn't released.
Now, strangely yellow tint has developed on left hand side of G3's display. I should deal with this now :fingers-crossed:

I have a baffling problem

PLEASE IGNORE THIS. I SOLVED IT.
I have 2 debs and both are running the AOSP Pie ROM, currently. Until 2 days ago both were able to detect my SIM card; now only one does. Here's what I've done to resolve what I first thought was a hardware problem.
* I swapped SIM cards and rebooted; no luck.
* I soft rebooted; no luck.
* I turned on Airplane mode and tuned it off; no luck.
* I swapped out the USB charging daughter board (I had a spare) to which the SIM adapter is soldered; no luck.
So, I thought it was a software issue. I ran Wugfresth, which I've had installed on my Windows PC forever, and went totally back to stock 6.0.1; no luck..
Then I booted into recovery, wiped Dalvik, System, Data and Cache, and formatted Data, and flashed AOSP, Gapps 9 Micro, and Magisk again; but still no luck.
What could it be?? I must confess that I'm somewhat of a
serial ROM flasher, and I'm not even sure how to frame this question, but could the firmware "radio" have become corrupted in one of my serial re-flashing episodes? I hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Oneplus One Bacon New Bootloop!?

Good afternoon everyone.
I have a huge problem. When I got my OP one back in 2014 I flashed it, installed CWM and CM and later switched to LineageOS. Everything worked fine until today. For some reason, after I installed lineage-18.1-20210415-nightly-bacon-signed.zip, my phone is now booting but after a while, while still booting it shuts itself down and restarts into recovery mode!? Does anyone know how to fix this? Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you and stay safe.
EDIT: So far I wiped user data and dalvik cache but nothing seems to work. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing all data/apps on my phone?

You already lost apps by wiping data, but you still have your photos.
If you had GApps installed before android version upgrade, you now need to flash android 11 GApps. Wiki.lineageos.org tells you what and how.

Thank you for your help. Surprisingly for some reason I found a work around as the unofficial GApps didn't work as well. I wiped data again, so the apps were gone (it took me 3 hours to restore that), but all files were still there and I flashed back to 17.1 with GApps and it worked. Phone is working same way as before. Guess I will wait a LOOOOOOOONG time now until I will try 18.1 again. But again thank you
