[Q] Xperia Mini St15i continuosly rebooting.

[avisingh]

When I turn on my Xperia Mini, I first see the sony logo and then I see the xperia logo and then the screen turns off. The phone automatically starts again with the sony logo, xperia logo and so on.
I have tried starting the phone in safe mode by holding down the volume key or by repeatedly pressing the menu button but both of them do not work. I have also tried to "repair" the phone via the PC Companion but it detects the phone only momentarily(as it switches on).
This problem started soon after I had switched on the bluetooth radio on my phone.
My phone is running on Android 4.0.4

This problem did occur in the past but I was able to open the safe mode then and a factory reset solved the problem at that time.No such luck now.

How can I hard reset the phone without reaching the menu??
Or is there any other way to solve this problem??

Please help.

Have you tried to install a custom rom or have you got any idea why this is happening?

Do you know how to flash with flashtool? If not look in my signature there is a rooting guide. In the rooting guide on how to root gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.62/69 you can see how to flash with flashtool and after that, if you want, root it.


If your phone wasn't rooted and your bootloader is locked and you haven't installed any app which could cause this problem, bring phone to service, but only if this could be hardware related and you haven't modified anything

Oh my science! You've been here since 2009 and this is your first post!?!?

Don't worry Your kernel is clean the problem is with the Rom.

Just flash the stock firmware ftf for your phone using flashtool and it'll be brand new again!

This will be useful

There are numerous tutorials about flashing ftf through flashtool just google it (the above link will be also useful).

Flashtool can be used with locked bootloader . You can use it on a out of box phone right away.

hit thanks if I've helped!

I have experienced the same problem with my Xperia mini pro (SK17i). Just try to switch off Bluetooth before it restart. May be it will work on your device too.

Is it possible that bluetooth problem is an issue on android 4.0 ICS?

i am also having this bug on my xperia mini ICS unrooted stock firmware. i got changed by chipset too so now my phone has locked bootloader but still had the f**king bluetooth bug. it never happened in GB.

 

[jeromemo]

this also happend to my phone today, and i wipe dalvik cache everytime it reboots. i got this fixed by installing bluetooth fix repair on google play.

Problem in ICS

this also happend to my phone today, and i wipe dalvik cache everytime it reboots. i got this fixed by installing bluetooth fix repair on google play.

I too faced the same problem in my ST15i....Bluetooth works fine for a few times and after that suddenly it creates bootloop. When for the first time i went to the service center he told me that the ICS release is having a bug and it is not completely compatible.

I have also tried many custom roms with my bootloader locked. But the problem is same.

I feel that the problem is with the stock kernel and stock ICS rom compatibility.

Devs, please look into this and please develop a perfect solution. :good::fingers-crossed:

Thanks again... I feel like a star now... officially welcoming myself to the world of tweaking softwares...

I also had Xperia Mini which gave me blue tooth problem.

1) Take out ur phone battery & connect ur phone with charger & switch the phone on.
2) Leave ur phone for about 10 mins and then while restarting put ur battery in the phone.
3)Take out the charger while restarting & ur startup will be more longer.
4) Then quickly go to setting &switch off the blue tooth.
5) Ur phone will restart again but this time ur phone will be working.
NOTE
In this process take out ur Sim Card & SD Card fron ur phone.
