[Q] Xperia Sk17a Root fail. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I want root Xperia Sk17a with the last firmware, but when using the flashtool I have the following error:
16/020/2012 15:20:37 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
16/020/2012 15:20:37 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
but... USB debugging off and MTP is ON!
If no solution to this, I saw that when you unlock the bootloader could be done as root, but as you unlock then? ..
Thanks!

You probably have .062 firmware

first of all your english is realy hard to understand,
all i understand is you saying that USB debugging is off and MTP is on,
if yes, then you are doing it wrong, turn on USB debugging and disable MTP mode,
go to settings-sony ericsson-connectiivity-USB connection mode and choose MSC mode, go back and uncheck 'auto connection in 'MSC', then enable USB debugging and connect

Sorry, I have a bad English. But you understand very well.
Just try it, but does not work
16/036/2012 15:36:20 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
16/036/2012 15:36:20 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
If you can not make it work, I would like a guide to unlock the bootloader.
Again, sorry for my English, I'm using google translator in a few words xD
Thanks for the replies!
Edit: I'm reflashing the phone with Wotan to get the previous firmware.

.62 firmwares cant be rooted.

Return to the version 4.0.2.A.0.58 ... flashtool continues with the same error.

try doomlord's easy rooting kit, google it, you will find it

I used Superoneclick. Most convenient way of rooting. No matter locked or unlocked bootloader *applies only to fw below .62.

the actual flash process does not require usb debugging on, as long as the phone enters flashmode(hold back and then insert usb cable) the flash shud work, when the phone turns on and has been setup then u shud do as flashtool says and tick usb debugging on
so just to reiterate, open flashtool, press flash select ur desired firmware, press flash, flashtool prompts u to enter flashmode(hold back button then insert usb), flash will automatically begin, once flash is complete unplug usb turn phone on, wait till its booted up and gone thru setup NOW u can selct usb debugging and unknown sources
Hi,
i have the same problem here, it's been a week since i started trying to flash this bloody X10a. Still no success, i can't even turn it on! Everytime i try flashing, i get this:
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:260) - Error flashing. Aborted
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:826) - Now unplug the device and power it on
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:827) - Then go to application settings
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:828) - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
So, my question is: Is it possible to turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging with a phone that won't do anything else than get into flashmode after 20-30 minutes of USB Charging and back button holding. The phone won't charge the battery either.

[Q] Dont have options to switch to MSC mode from MTP

I am on ICS 4.0.4 build 6.1.A.0.452 on my xperia S.
Rooting guide for 4.0.4(locked bootloader) is available by doomlord...But one of the requirement says phone to be in USB Msc connection mode. my question is ,everyone says to select MSC mode in settings-xperia-connectivity.
But its not there in my phone!!simply no option at all!!
there is an option of mount usb in settings-storge,but that is always grayed out
wether connected or not

haha, never seen any option in this regardless of MTP only. Going to Themes & apps thread and you'll see a thread " Sdcard mounter for ics "

see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744878
but actually you need root access to install that app & on other hand you need Msc mode enabled to "root" stock ICS!!
So what should be done?

Hey, no need msc mode enabled to root. What you need is install cwm & install su.zip in cwm

I'm new here. I am now also searching how to root my xperia neo with ics in mtp mode. It seems to me that you also need root to install cwm.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks

I rooted my Sola using Flashtool v0.9.6.0. Works perfectly for me.
Download the flashtool from here and root it. Make sure you are in MSC mode too.

i installed adb drivers, in msc mode and usb debugging enabled its here in device manager as "android phone". but why it can't seen in flashtool as usb debugging on ? when i try in command prompt with android-sdk typing adb devices there's not any devices. why?
I have exactly the same problem with my Xperia U.
Help!
Same problem with my Xperia U too ....
Any way to have usb debug "on" ?
(Of course I have usb debugging enabled in menu, confirmed in the notification bar ...)
Update to ver 10 ( flashtool)
sent via mighty SOLA running eXperience on CM9!!
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything and nothing works. Any idea?
try to make a factory data reset and try to turn it on
or try try to flash the ics rom again
if nothing work you need to be an unlocked bootloader user
or if you tried to root with restore while you are opening the flash tool it wont work cuz the root with restore makes any rooting programe not work

[Q] Galaxy mini and USB Debugging

Hello how to enable usb debugging on galaxy mini (gt-s5570) when phone is off ? Because I went to reinstall the software and I forgot to turn on USB debugging and now I can not even turn on :/

If you are trying to restore your phone via Odin, there would be no need to enable USB Debugging.
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-original.html
I know it says under: IMPORTANT to enable USB Debugging. They're wrong. USB Debugging / adb commands do not work in the mode you need the phone to be in to restore it anyway, so can't even imagine the point of adding that, especially under the important heading.
