Hello everyone, i own a MT11i Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V.
Yesterday i received a notification to update from 4.0.A.0.42 to 4.0.A.0.46. I downloaded the update and i started the 4-step installation process. The 3 first steps proceeded fine but at the 4th step, the update stopped and the phone restarted.
I should mention that i had rooted my phone with UnlockRoot utility. After the unsuccessful update, i removed root with UnlockRoot again but the exact same thing happened.
If you need any more info please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Wrong Section,
did you try to install it using Sony Pc Companion ?
if so try Update using SEUS utility ..

Oh, I am sorry i guess this should go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1277
Ill keep that in mind next time. Anyway, this actually worked my friend thank you so much! Can you think of an explanation for the issue? In any case your help is much appreciated.
you're welcome
I don't know, what's wrong with PC Companion, so many peoples are complaining the same issue about update, and its already forward to Sony complain centre, maybe they'll look at it in the next release,

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

Any specific ideas to look for?

If you had the battery disconnected during your work changing the case (and you definitely should), then put your phone to charge in wall plug for at least 15 minutes (or even more) and then try to turn it on...

After flashing I'm facing the problem. Now, the phone just shows the lights on the screen, no SE logo...
The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...
Is my phone dead?
I think so
Sorry I can't help you.
Edit. Have you tried another firmware/re download the file? Just in case. Good luck bro.

What is your exact model? Because you stated you were running Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it... Was that the original firmware it came with? I think you need to be in this forum, for the 'big' X10, and not the X10 Mini (e10i).

So, nearly every Live with Walkman has the reboot problem. It means that phone constantly reboots when it goes to standby mode, or you're playing crocky 3D games. This problem causes missed calls and sometimes you just have no choice but to take the battery out.
If somebody knows some proved methods to overcome the problem, please share with us.

try to re-install your ROM
@212th,
Have you tried to update or repair the software? Both can be done with PC Companion, www.sonyericsson.com/pccompanion.
If there's no new software available, just unplug the phone and click on the repair option instead. Remember to backup your data before doing this (contacts, messages, calendar etc.).

Hi all!
I'm stealing this thread a bit from rebooting..
It's like this.. I update my wife Live with walkman to the latest "4.0.2.A.0.62 (Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman)"
And after that was done, the phone just refuse to start. When you press the switch the led lamp just blink green a couple of time but the phone wont start!
Any know what to do? I see all over forums that many has this problem..
With regards.
Michael
You have to update your phone to newest firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62, which fixes the reboot issue. This was a software issue, which was fixed by Sony Ericsson.
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS), and update via this program. This should fix the problem.
Copy-paste this link to download the Update Service
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1309763183/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.7.13.exe

Hey, have you tried flashing any other stock roms using flashtool. Try flashing different firmware versions and see if you can get your phone working again.

Hi, no I haven't try any custom rom's in the phone yet. Will try that as a last resort.

No, try stock roms first with different firmware versions before you try custom roms. Is your bootloader unlocked? Try custom roms only if your bootloader is unlocked.

I had never got this problem on my WT19i.
still restarting even after update to .62
Hello,
I am new here and bought the WT19i last march 2012. never had problem until recently (this october). the WT19i is now restarting like hell and cannot even be used. so i searched all over the net and found that i need to upgrade it to .62 (i was on .58 then) so to use the warranty i sent it and they upgraded the firmware to .62. but the problem still exist although you can now use it and the restarting was reduced, but it is still restarting. can anyone help?
it is on firmware .62
BB - 64
not rooted
locked bootloader (although it is unlockable)
can anyone help?
i am planning on installing 4.0.4 .587 but im worried about the performance, battery life and camera might struggle.
also is there really a difference in updating via PCC / SEUS and via flashtool using a stock .587 rom?
not rooted
locked bootloader

I find the .587 more battery efficient than older one. Try it its worth of the upgrade

i sent it already. previously it was on GB .58. they upgraded it to .62. they say they are using pc companion.
but problem still exists. it still restarts it was just minimized.
on .58 it restarts constantly and unuseable.
on .62 it restarts randomly when taking a picture, calling / receiving a call. sending/receiving SMS.
so now i really plan to upgrade to ICS .587 but am not sure if upgradeing via PC companion and via flashtool has the same effect?
or will i try to flash .62 again using flashtool?
Hello, folks.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
I have an Xperia Neo V (MT11a), and I figured out that changing the build.prop file to make my phone "pretend" to be a MT11i would make my phone able to play some HD games. And yeah, it works. But I am having some issues on some games (specially Modern Combat 3) that I suspect that should end by upgrading my firmware.
So, as I am seeing now by reading the forum threads, it seems that my firmware version is quite old (4.0.1.A.0.283, running Android 2.3.4).
I really searched the forum about how to upgrade my firmware, but all threads I faced stated that having the 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a primary requirement; I didn't find a thread about upgrading from 4.0.1.A.0.283 to a newer one.
So, how can I upgrade my firmware? Because, here in Brazil, PC Companion always reports that my phone is up to date (but we know that it is not!).
Waiting for an answer, and thanks in advance.
Sir search for sony ericsson update service application for your pc..
(can't post URL cause i'm using only my phone)
Use it if pc companion are not working..
If i helped tou!! Pls press thanks button..)))

I agree, it's the same situation in Croatia, the updates come a bit later so you will have to flash it manually. I tried both and got no updates for .62 i think.
Actually...the newbies(i wont use noobies...it sounds kinda offensive) are a bit scared to tinker upon their new phones...they do search...but rely upon the seniors for assurance...but it is a boring task to answer again and again same type of queries.

I had the same problem with my MT15i but one day crossed my fingers and used Wotan. If you are afraid about command lines and other stuff like I was before I suggest you try wotan, it's very intuitive and simple.
Hello all,
First i would like to thank FeraLab for the great ICS V4 ROM work.
I am relatively new to flashing/etc but with some careful reading, i managed to install it on my X10i after unlocking the bootloader.
I've played with ICS v4 for some weeks and i did not find any major problems in any aspect / function of phone (data,wifi,camera,battery, apps, etc).
However, i've decided to go back to the Stock 2.3.3 ROM, and after looking quite enough (search) in the forum i could not find anyone who went back to 2.3.3 stock from ICS V4 with unlocked bootloader. I've looked in the whole ICS V4 thread for this and searching the entire forum.
I could not post a reply in the ICS thread since i have never made any post so far. (i always prefer not to ask anyone before i read enough)
But, in this case, if it is not too much to ask, could you kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Eros
We can use PC Companion or SEUS to refert to stock, and.... no need to relock the bootloader.

Actually, that was the 1st thing i tried (companion) but for some reason it does not work. It does detect the phone but the
option "repair" phone does not even come up. It only detects it and then reports PC companion needs to be updated
and redirects to the SE website for downloading new SW (which still does not work).
Any ideas? I cannot tell if this issue is due to Unlocked Bootloader or the FeraKernel.

So it would appear that the device I bought unlocked from Amazon was 1296-4830 from Hong Kong. Does that sound right, seemed odd to me?

You see that in the tablet service menu.

Thought so and found that, just thought it was odd that it appeared to be a HK model as I wasn't expecting that.
Many thanks.

Thank you for the information. I will probably end up just selling the damn tablet as flashtool apparently can't be downloaded without torrent software which is ridiculous. OMG I never realized the pain Sony users had to go through for something that should be simple.
Again thank you for sharing the information, I am very frustrated which is probably coming through more than anything else but I do appreciate the assistance and willingness to share information.

I agree that smasung or HTC tablet is better as it has custom roms. But for me, having Sony tablet is also a great deal especially after being a user of ios, and having endless awaiting of jailbreak.
Pccompanion suppose you to have untouched system files, in order to save all your data on internal storage after an update , and if you modified it with xposed, luckypatcher and other stuff. Of course something goes wrong if pccompanion tries to update it with saving data.
For me, using flashtool is no problem at all. Important information is saved on sdcard, apps are recovered by google account.

Thanks. My only point with HTC was that you only need to know your way around ADB and Fastboot really and you can load just about anything when the bootloader is unlocked.
I have Flashtool working but stuck at the part where I am trying to flash the update to the device as it says the device isn't in debug mode but I have usb debugging selected and I've reloaded drivers so I am not certain were to go from here with it.
Ok so finally got MM loaded and have loaded AndroPlus V20 loaded. Can't for the life of me find a link for downloading the TWRP 3.0 image, TWRP doesn't list the Xperia Z4 Tablet in their devices list at all and I am totally baffled as to where I even found the 2.8.7 image I had.
I find no posts with a download link anywhere in the Z4 forums, what am I missing? I am not normally this helpless in finding stuff on XDA but it really seems that anything for this device is a struggle...
