Branded firmwares - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Any one got the ftf for uk tmobile, looks like my neo v needs warranty work. I have a nandroid but on restoring it is prompting for an update that fails leaving the phone unusable, I have tried generic google searches but not sure of the file name.

I don't think they'll check if you run T-Mobile, or Generic. Just relock the bootloader flash stock firmware with flashtool and choose the repair option in pc companion. That will do.

Unfortunately they do, as tmobile always use a branded bootsplash, if it doesn't show they don't deal. How is pccompanion going to fix a broken button......

Why ask us if your reply is a flame he only tryed to help
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk

Flame not intended, generic wont do, the store claim the handset is not one of theirs and the home button has failed, handset is only two months old.

I just think he wrongly understood what sdk wanted to say.

Well return the phone 2 month old so what if it don't have T-Mobile fw the key is broken flashing the phone won't do that unless you messed up/ try reflash a rom
I have had middle key not respond from flashing rom
What u mean broken
Or not working?
Anyway 2 month old why even ask I would of just returned it under my 365 day UK user warranty that all products have here

That is the point, Tmobile store will not accept it's theirs due to wrong bootsplash so will not send it for repair.
Several flashes and wipes have not revived the button, so must be hardware.

Your from the UK why you putting up with that crap kill the battery n talk it back refuse to take it home ,make them send it to repair department
And don't give me that about they won't take it back if it has a broken button its there obligation to repare or replace for 12 month believe me mate
Iv sent back bootlader open phones with fn cm7 on man with screen leak if it won't turn on how can they know what boot splash is like
If the handset is dameged its nothing to do with rom

I don't know how it works in the UK, but I could just let my phone being picked up and send directly to Sony's repair centre, without even contacting the shop.

Why not start flashing your phone then half way through pull the lead out so it's bricked and then take it back ? Then you can tell them at t-mobile that it happened while updating through pcc ;-)

Sorted now spoke to T-Mobile by phone and sending back bypassing the store

Glad you found a way
Anw, you triggered me on idea. We should make something like they did on Arc and X10 Mini.

[Q] Just asking

My phone was dead (had to change motherboard) so I sent it back to the lg service center.....
How long does it take to fix my p500?
#Maybe it's different from your country but never mind
if its in america from tmobile it will only take a day or two but they send the phone first
I don't think they change motherboard for a bad update or flash rom went bad kind of dead phone. They just hook up the phone to a jtag (something) and flash fresh rom.

OP never mentioned it was due to bad update/flash. Anyway it shouldn't take more than a week for you to get your phone back.
Well 4silvertooth is right.....
Is the flash KDZ problem
Thanks for all the replies
I sent mine for a siminar reason (o1 fell into the wc) lol, and i got it back in 3 days.

Touchscreen dead?

So a few days back, my mini pro started to act weird; when the keyboard was out the touchscreen wouldn't work. By the evening the whole screen stopped working. Warranty is out, so I tore down the whole phone, checked all the connections but in vain. I flashed the phone back to stock firmware, but still stuck with no touchscreen. I think this is a pure hardware problem. And I'm kinda scared to give my phone to these private dealers, they might swap out the original parts for fake ones, learned the hard way when I gave in my old Nokia for repair.
So I thought I'd share my problem with you guys, any help would be appreciated.

Bro, its an hardware issue.. The flex that connects from motherboard to the display is damanged.. Give it to the nearest Sony ericsson service center n get it replaced.. Do not give it to private vendors.they tend to spoil your phone.. Dont worry even if ur not on stock ROM or kernel.. Just tel them not to upgrade your software during the process..else it'l be fixed. Cheers..

Thanks for the real quick reply man, I thought so. With that in mind I took the phone apart and check the connections. Finding them intact I came to quite the same conclusion.
Any idea how much this would cost?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Here it cost me about 1.5k.. Not much tho. ;-)

I suppose it is hardware related, maybe you can go to the Moto repair center to have your phone checked.

you can't miss something cos if so your phone won't boot up, i think call bestbuy first and make sure your phone is unlocked when you deliver your phone to them.

NO!!!! That is INCORRECT! Make sure you phone is LOCKED before you take it to best-buy or Sprint!!!!! You got the phone under warranty Locked, they will standby that. If you unlocked it and they see it, that means you f**ked with it which voids the warranty and they don't owe you s**t!
TRUST ME!!!!
Look for my thread "I F'ed up!", I have a post with DETALED instructions how to put it back and what you need!! (I'll be back, I wil find it!)
That's what I was afraid of taking it back but oh well

You don't have to take my word for it, ask a forum admin. He**, go to another phone and ask around there! Look [email protected], the instructions for ANY Flash/Root/Unlock starts out with "This will void your warranty and I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!" Then they give you instructions.
Even if you take it in unlocked and they find out and you say screw it and walk out, then fix it yourself back to stock, your still f**ked. They will upgrade your account with note that you did it, so if something jacked later, T.E.P is off the hook!!!
Note: I know all this because I was a B.E.S. Admin for @ 7 years. My old job, I did not work in Mobile support, but I loved flashing Windows phones and they had like 40 of them laying around. Sale guys would see **** I did, to embrassed to ask because it would make them look dumb, try it, brick it, go into Store, hence, company contract and warranty is gone!!!! Got into Android with Evo and never looked back!
I'm working but just looked @ briefly, e-mail me your e-mail and I will send you file and EXACT instructions to get you out of jam. In the mean time, you need to download RSDLite to your computer and install. Also, make sure you have 100% charge on your phone (you can go lower, but that is trouble too!). Also, free up USB on BACK of computer, not front!!
Trust me, I spent 2 days without phone, I know how it feels!
I'm Home! [email protected]!
My bad a lil lost so are you saying to sbf because I already did and it didn't fix the problem what I can try is someone can do a fresh install backup with none of your info and pm a zip or files and see what my is missing

You should be fine if you are in warranty.. You will get either a replacement or a refurbish one, as long as it was not physically damaged or the water sensor has not been tripped.

When a device had problems and is sent back to the shop, they fix it and sell it again, that why refurbished stuff is cheaper.

Soft Bricked

Hello Xda I've soft bricked my S3 I can access download mode.
I got into this problem cause I flashed Supernexus it worked fine for a few days. Until I went into bootloop and couldn't do anything I couldn't access recovery so I just flashed the stock rom and now the phone only boots into download mode and can be viewed by odin also it says on the phone please connect to kies in recovery. I done this put the phone doesn't get recognised any ideas and help will be appreciated
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda app-developers app
if you can't access recovery after reflashing a stock ROM, send it to service
and ask for help in the help section, not here
They won't help because its rooted and stuff also i have a slight crack so sending it into service will cost me like 200$ to repair
What build are you using? Looks like I'm moving away from that ROM 0.o

yeah, the other option is to throw the phone away. your call.
or you can also be doing something wrong.
or you can hope for me to be wrong.
i've been searching around an they calling this the ''sudden death syndrome'' and can happen at any time to a select few all you have to do is send it into service and get it repaired for free but i can't because i've got a slight hairline crack so my warranty is void and they are asking for around £150 for repairing this phone
You have a software problem not hardware. The crack has nothing to do with that. I had a crack on my S1 but sent it to service for new USB port - no problems.

I've rang them again after you said this and said sorry we can't do anything until u repair the screen by us or yourself. Also they said we can't guarantee that the problem I got was not from my crack so they said no to repairing for free they asking for 135£ to repair the crack
Then they'll replace the motherboard for free
