Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
THIS PROCESS IS FREE
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Peper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

This could be helpful
That's great news. Thanks

Ok i will try this on my r800at which is now r800a by means of firmware upgrade. But i have one question. In order to hit the testpoint my phone needs to have its battery removed and if that and the USB cable are both gone will pressing the Testpoint and the Power button at the same time do anything?
hi
yes you need battery inserted corectely for testpoint
could you please help me out? I have a working fastboot and flashtooll detects my phone too. the problem is this
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 2184 bad blocks encountered
OKAY [ 1.513s]
erasing 'cache'...
(bootloader) Erase of partition 'cache' requested

and omnius can't read semc error code A57CF58A77DB6368

Hi,
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1 [Corrected Package; thanks blagus for finding the problem]
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again, if not please reflash with original firmware and WIPE userdata!
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards
Team FreeXperia
does it fix the radio ?
I think it does
I'll test it tonight
Flashtool seems to have a problem, Androxyde will look this evening into the problem.

If you got Flashing Error -----> Aborted your phone won't be flashed ... so radio will not be modified ...
Did you guys not read what binary said? Flashtool has a problem flashing this package, it is prob to do with the modified trim area, the flashtool dev will look at it tonight

Hmm, I got an idea... Vodafone phones with fastboot capability are sim-locked, and after bl unlock they're sim-unlocked too. What if we manage to enable fastboot, then re-run oem unlock to try to rebuild simlock?
1 - Flashed with the Fix
2 - Flashed with Generic UK
3 - Turned on the play and still no radio
I am getting no signal and insert sim card msg
Good Luck Guys ;/ and thanks for your effort on making this work.
Thanks guys, I know you wrote a wonderful tool to save our phone, but it still no signal and simcard not found. my arc became a "iTouch" now. only the music and wif internet.
Thanks once again
It's stated in first post, the Fix cannot only Fix your phone if you are in DEAD STATE.
If you already tryied the other trick it's too late sorry!
Now you have to use a payserver to remove simlock, there is no other way.

Hi everyone, there are 4 days for unlock bootloader for free on Omnius.
There are a lot of ppl who have Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO! and as u know it can only be unlocked by pay method. Well you are lucky if you are seing this post because if you go to omnius page: http://www.omnius-server.com/ and register you can unlock for free your 2011 xperia phone. I already try this method on my brother's xperia mini pro (sk17) and it works without pay anything.
If you have some question be free to ask here, I will help you in your unlocker, its a little diffficult but can be done!.
Good luck!
Edit:
STEPS:
Open omnius, log into your account.
Select your device from list.
Press unlock -> Bootloader
It will show you an image where your testpoint is located.
- Next steps are for mini pro -
Cancel the process. Now turn off your xperia mini pro. Remove your batter
Localizate the testpoint and put there your tool (It can be a paper clip with cable).
Put the clip on your test point and the cable to the ground (omnius will help you with this) then connect your phone at the computer.
Windows will recognize new driver and it will fail with installation. Dont worry, open device manager and right click that device and choice update driver. Select install from my computer. Go to omnius installation (c->program files -> omnius -> drivers) and accept. It will show you a warning telling that those arent the proper drivers but its ok, just press install anyway.
Thats it, it will install you the drivers you need.
Now unplug test point and put your battery on (usb cable must be conected).
Now unplug the usb now.
Put usb again on your xperia and once again it will show you new device founded, follow the same step before, device manager, update, from computer, etc, etc). Thats it, now open omnius and press unlock, bootloader and it will succes.
For anothers devices it will be the same but with different testpoint, steps may be different but omnius will show you the way.
I hope this can help you, because is one day left.

unlock bootloader means that you can use fastboot mode.
Also you can unlock your sim for use any operator you want.

Well not exactly I unlocked the bootloader and was unable to access fast boot mode on my lww due to the simlock. I had to do a full unlock before had access to fastboot.

But do you have access to fastboot?? Connect the phone to the PC while it is off and you are holding the volume up key the notification led should turn on blue.

So this method works for live with walkman? Can I install costum roms after that? Is my warranty still valid after I unlock bootloader with this method / can I re-lock bootloader if needed?

Yes, this works with LWW.

Warranty is void if bootloader is unlocked.
Yes, bootloader can be relocked.

First take out battery from phone then take some wire and connect it,to ground (you can find testpoint locations on omnius site) ,also be sure that drivers are installed (you
can find them in S1tool) now comes tricky part where you need to do in few seconds but first check is testpoint connected,so tricky part is that you need to disconnect testpoint and put battery while is sending loader or error will come up (phone will be ok)
I hope you will understand.

It WORKS, thanks ocovarr
I updated my Xperia S to the latest version and I decided to try out the new feature-unlocking via face recognition. The problem arose at the beginning of the code, which I gave as an alternative way to unlock did not work. After a few hoursthe application responsible for face recognition also stopped working. And there was a really big problem: I can not in any way unlock the screen, because the code does not work, so I can not hook up the phone to the computer completely, because it requires unlocking the screen. Do you know what I can do now to be able to fully use the phone? Any entry in Safe Mode of FastBoot Mode did not work. Flashtool does not recognize the phone.
Hold volume up and power button to shut it down? Then re flash

do you have unlocked Bootloader? if not you can use the Update Service and reinstal the firmware and everything should be OK ( whit the risk of losing ur data and apps) just like a brand new phone, you mention that you have the lastest firmware so the Update Service will tell u that you already have it, just ignore it and choose to update anyway.
if yout bootloader is unlocked you can relock it and then use the Update Service.
hope to help you
for relocking BL

If it hardbricked, then there will flash all the system via edl mode, all the data will be gone, but i don't know if the bootloader get lock again or not..anyway, unlocked bootloader not a big issue i think
Maybe interesting for this topic:

You must Use the fastboot version
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/joyeuse/
unzip *.tgz via winrar, 7-zip etc.
The folder with the extracted files must be on the root of a partition, otherwise there are error messages
Then switch on the cell phone via
power + volume down <---(Edit: sorry, down not up)
start in fastboot mode
- Connect phone via USB cable
- Start the MiFlash tool.
- Use "Select" to set the path to the folder or immediately paste the path previously copied in the file manager into the address bar of the flash tool.
- Select "clean all" below
- Refresh once
- now "flash" at the top right
PS:
bootloader is normally not locked again unless you select "clean and lock".
but if it should be blocked for whatever reason, that's no problem.
Once unlocked there is no longer a waiting time when unlocking again.
Simply start the "miflash unlock" tool, sign in and unlock again
