Hi guys,
I've been looking for a solution but i couldnt find any.
I have a x10i and just updated to 2.1 with flashtool 0.2.6. after the upgrade the icon of the camera appeared flashing and dumb of me I shutted down the phone.
As a result I am on 2.1 but the camera is not working. When I open the camera application says that is not responding.
Any solution? maybe flash back to 1.6 and upgrade again? or upgrade to 2.1.1 that I just saw? can I upgrade only the camera firmw
Have to say that as I the *.ftf file downloaded I flashed again but the problem still
Before you used flashtool, what version were you on?
After you used flashtool, can you boot? make calls? Is everything fine except the camera?
Anyway, a SE Update Service or PC Companion repair is good start to get your phone working.
I was on 1.6
I just tried to update to the 2.1.1 and the problem still. Downgraded to 2.0.1 and still.
Now I am downloading the 1.6 . BTW what obsession with the rapidshare, megaupload & Co. :S are the hell of slow
Update service gets stuck (no always on the same place) and on the Pc companion the support zone just doesnt want to install. So no oficial ericsson solution for me

Why doesn't it want to install? If it says You've already got the latest software just press install. Then it will recovery your phone.

In SE PC companion when I click on the Support Zone a window appear saying "The application is not installed. This application couln't be installed. Please try again later"
can someone upload a generic 1.6 *.ftf to dropbox and share?
that would be lifesaving

transfer to ur sdacard.
then transfer the camera apk to /system/data

you know if I can access the firware of the camera the same way?
still a good link for a generic 1.6 may help
thanks
just found a file called camfirm.bin in /system/etc/firmware wich is 992.00K
would you mind checking the size of yours to see if it is incomplete?
any ideas of how to access/overwrite/delete this?

You can backup first all your applications, SMS and contacts (I'm using MyPhoneExplorer from Market to do this)then try flashing using the latest Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=2.1.A.0.435
i have been up all night trying to look for possible solutions to my phonebook and calling errors but to no avail...could anyone instead point mo to the right direction...i would want to flash my phone and restore it to its original stock settings...whenever i try the flash tool, it seems it couldnt find the ftf file for my baseband...when i tried the flasher included for my baseband.46 it doesnt restore everythinng to its original state...
finally after almost 2 days of trial and error i finally got my phone to work...next stop to install custom firmwares...
the process com.sonyericsson.android. socialphonebook has stopped.

seus is sony ericsson update service.you need to first download this from the se product site.Once you install and open this application on your pc,the rest of the work is very easy and explained step by step.go for it.another thing---in future before you flash any custom rom,backup your virgin 2.1 using xrecovery so that you can always go back to this opening condition when you are troubled by the custom rom you have installed.
do press the thanks button if this helps you.
Ok, sathkartha.
I'll try it and remember to do the backup. Was my first time and i forgot to do the backup when i remembered was too late.If it works i'll post the result here and press the thanks button.
Thanks
sathkartha,
so, I've made it and followed the intructions and the message that came up for me was:
"No new software is available for your phone. Your phone already has the latest available software isntalled"
Do you have any idea what I can do from now?
Thanks
@alloha----on that screen itself,you will still see a prompt encouraging you to install--click that and move forward.
should I downgrade to 1.6 to seus works?

Thanks for the print, but it doesn't appear for me.
I'll keep trying. Any result i post here.
look at the screen which shows to me
shuold i put some archive in /system or /system/bin?
I think I see what the problem is here:
miniCM uses a modified build.prop so that neither SEUS nor PC Companion update the firmware at any moment,that's why your SEUS says that it doesn't have nay new software for you.
I'd say that instead of trying to go back to 2.1, rather try to do a clean install of any of the custom ROMs, and please do follow the instructions to the letter, most freezing and rebooting in custom ROMs happen due to not doing a factory reset before installing them.
@Akath19 i understand. I would like to go back to 2.1, make a backup and then install a custom ROM. Because I've tried to install a lot of time the custom ROM and this problem keeps boring me.
Talking about build.pro... there is some solution for it? like change this specific build.prob for another one that makes SEUS works?
ohh
you have to flash with the flashtool
because seus or other software couldn't flash it
sorry
Hello guys, I need help because I cannot update my X10 mini pro U20. I already tried SEUS and PC Companion but it indicates that I already have the latest software installed.
I am using Android 1.6 and was hoping to update to 2.1 but the above hindrance wouldn't let me. I tried also repairing through PC Companion but it says that no software is available for my phone?
Please help... I tried using flashtool but I cannot understand it really.

What did you try to do with flashtool? Did you find and download 2.1-firmware for your phone that needed it?
Using flashtool to update your phone is just as easy as SEUS or PC Companion, but without the restriction that you can't update your phone

What a weird thing, when I checked my About Phone setting, I saw it was updated to 2.1 without me knowing. But now I have a problem, I can't use my wi-fi. It says 'Unable to scan networks.' I read I should re-flash, but I tried using flashtool, I put the firmware files on the firmware folder but when I flash, I do not see any selection though. I installed the latest flashtool.... though I cannot find the flash.bat -> I don't know if that's the right .bat name

There is no .bat with flashtool, it's a User-Interface driven program, just start the flashtool executable.

CASE CLOSED
Hi everybody,
today I'm going to teach you how to root Xperia E4g on newest firmware._________________________________________________
PROOF : http://postimg.org/image/mvua3tyyx/
0. Video tutorial (if you prefer it over textual)
1. Firmware DowngradeCheck your firmware version, if it is 25.0.A.2.14 you are going to have to downgrade it to x.x.x.1.28.
You are going to download Flashtool and download 1.28 firmware using XperiFirm that is build-in into flashtool and then you are going to flash it. If you need help here is Youtube Video :
2. Rooting
You are going to use iRoot to root your firmware. Do not update your firmware until I say to!
Link to iRoot : http://irootdownload.com/ ->download PC Version
3. Getting rid of Kinguser/Kingroot
Now go to Play Store and download app called Super-SuMe. Follow the instructions the app says and update SuperSu binaries if needed.
Reboot after that. Or since of August 2015 the app is paid and you can follow this video :
4. Preparing for software update
Now go to SuperSu->Settings and untick "Enable Superuser"
5. Update
Now is the time to update. Go to Sony Update Center app and download the update and wait for it to install.
There will be 2 available updates. When first is done dont enable Superuser, just install the second one and after that is done go to step 6
6. Getting root after update.
Once it is done, open SuperSu->Settings and tick Enable Superuser and reboot.
There you go. That's it.
Video on the way

My trial and error
Hi thank you for the guide.
I have some problem after install super su. when I open it i receive the message to update binary.
But after i have choose normal mode tu update (i have no custom recovery) it fails.
Any suggestion about this?

I had this exact same issue when rooting my wife's E3, yet the binaries updated fine on my E3! I never did manage to resolve the problem despite trying an array of suggestions courtesy of Google! Sorry I'm not really much help...!
I swapped my E3 for the E4g recently after it developed a microphone fault, and was about to try the OP's method to root it when I saw your post. I think I'll hang on a little while though to see how things go for you....
Have others had success with this method?

My SuperSu never asked for Binary update
But the binary update itself should have worked.
I think you could do a complete video guide with downgrading firmware and all the stuff... Because as I see from posts some people have problem with binary update. Also it would be a great guide to new comers. Thanks!
P.S. "Super-Sume" is only paid app now but the price is really ridiculously low. :>
I tried downgrading but it just keeps giving me the error "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors", please help!

Try checking wipe data and cache while choosing the firmware or try other firmware.
I recommend Customized Europe 5 cause it doesn't give errors with SuperSu binaries
