Hello Everyone;
I updated my X10 through SEUS and it failed to update while update reched at almost the end. Now i would like to use Flash Tool for a generic firmware but the one i can get is GUI based and for some reason it does not detect the FTF file and also my X10 while SEUS detects my X10 fine but again quits the process at the end. I have searched forum for the DOS based Flash Tool but unable to find it. If anyone can point me to the right thread where that DOS based Flash Tool is posted along with the Generic Firmware and Baseband, i would be really obliged.
I have searched a lot but could not find anything.
Any help please.
There's no DOS-based flashtool, there was one launched from the terminal using java. Anyway, the GUI-one IS better. Put everything under "firmware" folder, it'll be detected.
I think my X10 Mini Pro is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the CM logo and freezes.
What I did to get this was:
Updated from 1.6 - 2.1 via SE PC Companion (2.1.1 A.0.6)
SuperOneClicked it and got it rooted, with Superadmin etc
Installed xRecovery (was working fine)
Loaded a ROM for the X10 Mini and not the Pro (Did not know there was a difference - no warning on the ROM page by the creator), and installed the ROM zip via xRecovery, which just stays in a boot loop and never starts, most of the time it just freezes and I have to pull out the battery.
So I went searching and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040149
which lead me here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
So I downloaded Flashtools and the UK firmware (dyzzel)
Place the content of the firmware zip (and the zip itself, as I didnt know to extract or not) in the firmware folder of flashtools, then opened flashtools (2.8 and 2.9) click flash, where it asks me to find the firmwares but the browser doesnt show any files Ive put in that folder.
Thats as far as Ive got, need some help as Im cracking up.
Fixed now. SEUS.
Hello guys,
I´m new here, and before everyone starts throwing stones on me , I´ve already tried some steps and got stuck (the welcome video is awesome! hehe).
Well, I tried to update my android on my phone, and after the reboot, got stuck on sony ericsson title screen.
1. I searched over the internet same issues, and i got this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602489 .
2. I followed Someguyfromhell indications at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
3. I got the flash tool , PC companion, base drivers, and the ftf file for flashing.
4.After install flash tool, selected the ftf file, and got this message :
05/019/2012 14:19:47 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I think the rom file is not compatible with my phone (2010 production date).
I tried to find other ftf files, without success.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Use the repair option in PC Companion to restore your stock firmware if at all possible.
After that, you can tell us how you tried to update the android on your phone, like: what did you want to update it to, which rom did you choose, what steps did you take...
By the way... the links you provided were for 2011 devices, Experia Mini and Mini Pro
the 2010 devices are Experia x10 mini and x10 mini pro. Different hardware altogether, I know it's confusing but please be careful where you choose your new software from
Don't feel too bad though, we've all made mistakes, just try to be a bit specific as to what you did first that made your phone get stuck, we can go from there.
well
Hello Guys,
After a loong search i found one ROM who fits with my cellphone - kind of old one.
I followed the steps on flashtool and "recovered". Sometimes it acts strange : if I turn off, it's very difficult to turn on in normal ways.. i need to plug on usb or re-flash... and if I switch the sim card, sometimes works, sometimes not...
Now its stable, but I think something is wrong.
and i got this information about my current version status :
Model : U20i
Firmware Version : 1.6
Kernel : 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Compilation Number : 1.1.A.0.8
Is there any possibility to upgrade my android version?
use the upgrade option in PC Companion
Again... what rom did you download, what steps did you take.. be specific when you ask questions, and please, let us know if you tried the advice given when you ask a question

are you have try use SEUS new version to get SE original rom+kernel , its work to me when i downgrade my E10i from MiniCM9 to SE original stock.
if you want to upgrade your phone to android 2.3 you can try MiniCM7 for U20i or for MiniCM9 for android 4.0.4.
I already try used MiniCM7 and MiniCM9 with nAa kernel, and its work fine to my E10i.
Help

Where do you get stuck? What steps did you take? Give us some information to work with, otherwise no one can help you.
What device do you have?
Did you install the proper kernel?
What does your phone do when you turn it on after flashing?

and now its stuck at the sony ericsson name and wont go in cwm. only flashmode works. also i tried xperia companion.
at the pc companion i got this error after entering flashmode and trying to repair it:

One word, flashtool. If u dont know what it is, another word, google.
You're going to have to find a gingerbread firmware for xperia mini and flash it into your phone with the previously mentioned pc program flashtool

Tutorial Flashing Update Sony Xperia C4 E5333 for download errors, application errors, the touchscreen is not sensitive, exposed to the virus internal memory, loading a boot loop, until the hardbrick could be detected in a firmware update for the computer drivers. Below you can find the latest firmware for phones:
How to Flash the latest firmware to Sony Xperia C4 E5333
1.First of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the latest, you do not need this tutorial).
2.Download and install the latest Flashtool from this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
3. How To Use Sony Flashtool Tutorial can be found at this following link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
4.Download the latest Firmware Xperia C4 E5333 from all Sony firmware available in this following link:
http://zonexservice.blogspot.com/2015/06/all-stock-rom-sony-xperia-firmware.html?m=
5.Paste FTF file downloaded in step 4 to the folder "Firmware" in the folder Flashtool.
6.Open Flashtool, click on the flash and select the firmware which was downloaded, click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete the data from your phone, simply uncheck userdata.sin. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional problems. So it is better and i do recommend too, to perform a backup of your personal data, then continue with the installation raw and then restore your personal data.
7. Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows a pop-up window, connect the phone to the PC by clicking the volume down key until the green led color appears.
8. After a few minutes all done and you'll get a new updated firmware phone."
Hello, this is my first time here - I'm from brazil, so, first, please excuse me for the bad english.
I have a C4 Dual , model E5343 (Brazil retail), and months ago I've flashed the MEA version, model E5333 - 5.1
Now, the official 6.0 update of the E5343 is available for download with Xperia Companion. I've tried to download this version and flash it with the flash tools. All drivers and services are installed and activated (in 2 PCs), and I've downloaded 2 versions of the flash tools - both of them didn't worked. So, when I was about to flash, after selecting the model C4 (E5xxx), I've always got this message - Process finished with error - loader.sin.
Later I've tried to do the recovery with Xperia Companion, and it gives me this error message: UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo
E5343 3521 1295-0292 R3A 27.2.B.0.169.
What should I do? Wait for the OTA update? Or can I do anything to fix this errors so I could flash it correctly?
PS - Using fastboot or unlocking the bootloader would help somehow?
Thanks!
would you need to unlock bootloader first before you can flash?
