Post 7 : CUSTOMIZATION
NOTE :
you can port any rom from other devices because XMP, XM and LWW brothers. and that is why we are in theard the same. porting means just, replace a few files. So you can do it Replace the hw_config, sensors.conf, copy smultron touch hex firmware file /etc_firmware/ and DELETE mango hex's, and edit the build prop /just replace all sk17 and mango or mini pro lines/. And this is all. Flash the mini kernel and install the rom.but for XMP, you must replace the "usr" to the physical keyboard and some file for the adjustment.
thanks to kamarush
BEFORE WE START THERE ARE SOME REQUIRMENTS TO FLASH A ROM AND KERNEL SUCH AS..
{1}.YOUR Bootloader MUST BE unlocked.I THINK 80% OF ROM NEEDS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER..WITHOUT IT YOU CANT FLASH CUSTOM ROM...
THERE ARE TWO WAYS OR METHODS OF UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER...
(1).OFFICIAL WAY:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/
(2).TEST POINT METHOD:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY IF YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER...
....YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER ON ABOVE LINKS....
{2}.YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE CMW(ClockWorkMode) INSTALL ON YOUR PHONE
HOW TO FLASH CMW IS GIVEN HERE:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741
BEST WAY TO HAVE ROOT AND CMW IS TO FLASH CUSTOM KERNEL.
IF YOU HAVE ABOVE THINGS THEN YOU ARE READY TO GO...
...TO FLASH CUSTOM KARNEL YOU WILL NEED FLASTOOL:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309....

Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?

Follow these steps
1.Download Sony Ericssion Update Service (SEUS)
2.Hold the volume down button key of ur phone and connect to the USB connected to your PC
3.If this does not work remove the battery and put it back again and do step no 2.
4.SEUS will detect ur phone and install the latest ICS i.e.4.0.4
5. U will have a bootloader relocked and rooted phone :fingers-crossed:

2)why volume down?
5)seus nor pcc doesn't relock bootloader, plus if he unlocked it via official way, he won't be able to use pcc nor seus.
@OP: what happens when you try connecting in fastboot mode? No blue led? Hows your phone named in device manager?
@madfysh
I had the same problem with that CM9 kernel and I had unlocked bootloader & I recovered my phone using SUSE by the same process I wrote that's y I suggested him those steps

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?

Hello Evrybody
i have a huge Problem with my ST15i
I had Rooted GB on it and evrything works fine till i decided to try a custom ROM
so i instal Recovery Tool and installed a Custom Rom for ST15 i
after installling and rebooting to the new rom, i noticed when i tried to open the screen lock bar that the touchscreen didnt react exactly - i had to slide at the other side of the display to unlock it!
So i decided to make the phone fresh with SEUS and ICS4.0! After SEUS update i restarted my phone and the whole touch display didnt work anymore!
only the hardbuttons - i cannot back to any Recovery tool , with out touch display i cant switch to uUSB Debug Mode!!
Is there hope to help my Phone!!
Thx in Advatage!!
Hi,
This means you installed custom rom and it didn't work? And then you connected your phone to pc and used seus while you were on custom rom? You did not flash original sony from back first and updated (or tried to update) while you were on custom rom?
Have you tried to use flashtool? I don't know if your touchscreen has bricked up completely, but you could flash gb firmware back, so you have a clean gb rom.
For this download sony flashtool from here and install it. You go to the drivers section of the flashtool folder on your computer and install them. Then you download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) rom from here and move it to the firmware folder of flashtool on your pc. Then you start flashtool and click on the flash. You select flashmode and then you select the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom and click ok.
Then you turn off your phone (make sure it is over 50% charged) and hold volume down key. Then you plugin the usb cable to pc and smartphone while holding volume down. It should flash the original gingerbread rom.
If the flash finished you can hope that the touchscreen workd, if not I don't know a solution.
BUT: I DONT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBILITY FOR THIS METHOD!!!
If it has worked you can be lucky, if not you are on non-rooted gingerbread rom and could bring your device to the service, but I'm not sure!
OR: First read this thread cause he has similar problem!
Best regards
Michael
i managed it already to install androis SDK on pc and ADB Drivers - via Fastboot i can reach the Device and Bootloader seems to be open, the blue led is wworking, windows accepts my phone as installed android ADB Device - and when i try with Flashtool, and some other different tools to flash new kernel - i always become the mesagge ithe device must be rooted even from fastboot when i use the (fastboot flash boot boot.img) command
I will try some other things , when this does not helps so i try with service
THX
But led is working anyway, it doesn't say, that the bootloader is unlocked. Maybe really flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware using flashtool and then try if touch works, otherwise bring device to service, but I don't know if they can notice your try to install a custom rom.
Hope it will work for you!

what if on 4.0.4 rom so i need to reflash same custom firmware(problem)
Hello guys, today it's a really bad day for me. My M4 is now totally bricked.
Here's why:
I installed CM 12.1 and I will get back to stock, but my phone not enter in flashmode. So I flashed a zip file of stock rom but it not booted. I want to get Flashmode back, and I find a flashable zip that restore flashmode in Sony Xperia M. I flashed it and... bye bye M4. Now the phone only enter in SOMC FLASH DEVICE, Flashtool not flash, but say:
Device connected with USB debugging OFF. For 2011 devices line be sure that you aren't in MTP mode.
Sometimes enter in Unkown device. I have all drivers and I'm using original cable with USB 2.0 port. Now I'm trying to restore with PCC.
I removed the battery connectors for a while, put them back, but nothing changed.
My battery is at 100%.
What should I do?
So flash mode does not work anymore? This may seem inappropriate to say now that your phone is dead but if you have technical experience you could make a guide to opening and repairing the M4 or at least take pictures. But if flash mode or fastboot works try to restore it first
Well... Sorry to hear that :/ but uh..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040
It uses a MSM8939 board same as ours. It's up to you if you want to attempt it but I'm suggesting not to.. Good luck anyway!
Thank you very much! Firstly I will try to send it to the shop where I buyd (sorry my english) and if they don't change the phone I will try this. Really thank you again!
EDIT: Ok, I am following the tutorial, but my M4 show only qhsusb_bulk with no driver. What I have to do?

probably you flashed custom kernel/rom with bootloader unlock=NO , you can try the S1 tool to restore your bootloader but you must have the original one.

Thanx for reply,
My bootloader status is yes.
I think wrong kernel makes this problem,
By the way, how s1 bootloader restore.
Any tools?
And how get original bootloader.
Is loader.sin is helpful from ftf?
Thank u.
I'm waiting for your reply

you must have qhsusb_dload detected if yes then download this zip extract it and run s1tool, you must copy boot.sin and s1boot from your stock rom, the two files inside the zip are not for your C3, but you can try at your own risk.

Actually I had this problem with my Xperia s. I managed to remove everything but recovery. So here's what I did. Start Sony companion and go to the repair page. When it says plug in and hold down I think it's volume down key. Plug the phone in to the computer. Now it's a waiting game. But if you r lucky the red light should come on after like 10 min or so. If it does wait another ten just so the phone has some battery fueled up. Then plug it out and in again holding the volume key pushed. If this doesn't work just flash cm so you can get in to the phone. Lock the bootloader again and then try Sony companion with cm installed. Oh you don't have to hold volume key the first time
1. Flash boot and system images with TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/rom-6-0-1-xperia-m4-aqua-t3423264
2. Turn off your phone
3. If phone enter fastboot and flashmode go to step 1A, if not, go to step 1B
1A. Flash stock rom with selected "APPS_LOG" and "USERDATA"
1B. Go to recovery, and restore this backup: https://app.box.com/s/6okdn3wafe6mh3y4yhfe451nm0hwasah (if again not boot go to step 1C)
1C. Buy M4 Aqua with broken LCD or digitizer, swap mainboard.

Hi there,
my mate gave me his Xperia Z2 asking if I could fix it. He said it's stuck in boot loop. I thought it'd be an easy fix but I am experiencing a problem that I think (I hope I'm wrong) is hardware related.
The phone is indeed stuck on the sony logo and won't go past it. It responds to power+volume up (buzzes 3 times). I can put it into fastboot mode (blue LED, flashtool recognizes the phone in fastboot mode). However, I can't put it into flashmode (LED goes green, but flashtool doesn't recognize it, Windows and Sony Companion doesn't either btw).
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it or is it indeed a hardware issue?
TIA guys
Cheers
Edit: All the drivers are installed, I have tried two different computers, previous flashings were no prob.

Is the bootloader Unlocked???
If yes then try flashing a kernel that has built-in recovery and clean flash a new rom
It may helps
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid the bootloader is still locked, tried to flash a kernel already, it won't let me so I assume it's locked.

Maybe you can unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel(try it at your own risk)
Okay, thanks, will do that. I would have liked to find a way without unlocking the bootloader (wanted so save keys first) but it seems that it's the only way since I can't make it into flash mode. Will give an update after!
Hi there.
Unfortunately I couldn't unlock the bl. I assume, USB debugging isn't enabled. Any ideas?

I think there is some gadgets out there that will force your phone to boot to flash mode(im not sure) or you can search "how to force Xperia phone to boot to flash mode" it may helps
If you cannot access fastboot or flash mode there is nothing you can do
Cool, will do, thanks.
Just to clarify: I can access fastboot mode fine, it's just flash mode that isn't recognized! Will post an update.

Ah, I see. Well, anyway, I tried to find a way to force the phone into flash mode but nothing worked. Very annoying but I think I'm gonna call it quits.
Thanks for your help anyway, appreciated!
It seems like a firmware issue than a hardware one.
It's either falshtool compatibility issues , a soft-bricked phone or both.
1 - Try using an older version of flashtool like 0.9.18.6 and see if flashmode works.
2 - If you know the current firmware version
you can just flash the stock,signed kernel via fastboot.

Are you sure you have the proper flashtool drivers installed? What's the Windows and Flashtool version? And have you connected any other Xperia device in flashmode mode to the same pc before?
I am saying that it is 90% a driver issue..
-Try disabling Driver signature on Windows 10 or 8 then reinstalling Flashmode AND Xperia Z2 drivers from the folder drivers in the main flashtool folder, then restart the pc..
- Try connecting a different USB cable
- Try connecting to a different USB port..
- And when you want to flash the firmware.. Select flash.. Select the firmware.. Check the wipe options (optional).. Press flash.. And after that when flashtool asks to connect the device in flashmode connect it.. Do not connected it BEFORE pressing flash..
Hope this will help you.. Have a good time..
Bye
