Search button (for Xperia™ PLAY).
Volume up button (for Xperia™ mini, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Live with Walkman™, Xperia™ S).
If phone is connected correctly in Fastboot Mode, a blue led light should glow up.
8. To check if your phone is connected correctly in Fastboot mode, type “fastboot devices” without the “” and if you get a serial number, that means it is connected correctly.

i think yes because he is begging for thanks bro
mate at least go some research before making tutorials. CM9 recommends baseband .72 they even uploaded small .ftf file on FXP's server for easy download.
altho, .64 baseband will work. i am not specialist to know whats different between .72 and .64

2. If you think you are doing this for NOOBS then you are a big noob!
3. Writing Tutorial is different thing this is just a walkthrough
and If you think these aren't valid reason you are a noob or an alien

Guys, is there ANY other way to unlock the bootloader instead of the official Sony instructions? Because those don't work for me, it says bootloader unlockable: NO, and i can't continue the process.
Anyone know how to bypass it?
Did you checked if your sony is unlockable?
If yes, you can use flashtool

Xperia P windows dirvers along with ones for fastboot and flashtool are included in the Flashtool instalation package (try 0.9.10.1 version or higher). After installing flashtool, go to the flashtool/driver directory, run flashtool-drivers.exe and when prompted, check Xperia P, Xperia U, and Xperia sola drivers, Fastboot drivers and Flashtool drivers (last two are all the way down in the list)
Dwnload links are dead update it asap

Yes there is a way, but you would have to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel. After that install it in cwm
For the firmware links maybe this could help you :good:

You will loose all data on phone!
Okay here you go:
1. Unlock your bootloader. How yo do this is in my guide, but remember it will void your warranty
2. Install Flashtool and all the drivers from the flashtool installation folder for all devices and modes.
3. Download FXP cm10 (Android 4.1.2 - mostly working) or cm10.1 Alpha (4.2.1 - many things not working, for more details see the thread by shufuking) and copy the rom zip to the sdcard of your phone.
Download the Google apps (gapps) for jelly bean 4.1 or 4.2 (depending on which rom you choose) and copy it to sdcard too.
4. Extract the zip on your PC, copy the boot.img to a folder named "kernels" (that you have to create in the Flashtool folder).
Launch Flashtool, click on the flash -> fastboot mode.
5. Click "reboot into fastboot mode" or shut down the phone, wait 10 seconds, hold volume up and while holding volume up connect the usb to pc. Now the blue led lights up
6. "Select kernel to flash" and select the boot.img in kernels folder.
7. Wait until the image is flashed, now unplug you phone.
8. Power on phone and while it's powering on press volume down again and again to get in clockworkmod recovery (cwm)
9. Select wipe data/factory reset (you navigate with the volume keys and select with the home button) and wipe cache.
10. Go to advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
11. Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip -> choose the rom zip and install it
12. Install zip from sdcard -> choose the gapps
13. Now reboot the phone and enjoy
That's it, for any other questions just ask :good:
Thanks Worked Perfectly

Hi,
after reading for a few weeks I decided to unlock the bootloader of my st25i, flash CWM and afterwards CM 9.1 (FXP 149).
1) I successfully unlocked the bootloader
2) I used fastboot to flash boot.img from CM9 ZIP (FXP 149 kumquat)
3) Unfortunately I forgot to copy the ROM zip-file to the flash memory of my phone.
4) At first I was still able to start the phone with ICS stock rom, but no WiFi was working and no SIM was found anymore and no USB-Masstorage nor PC-Companion regognized phone = no possibility to get zip-file with rom on phone
5) I reflashed boot.img via fastboot and now I am stuck in a boot-loop.
6) current status: When starting the phone it hangs at Xperia-logo; before comes the free xperia logo; I can enter fastboot-mode and I can enter CWM; I cannot get into flashmode (green light goes of after a few seconds)
How can I get my phone working again?
Download official ics ftf from development section of ur xperia
Download flashtool
Install flashtool
Go to c/flashtool/drivers
Install drivers for ur xperia
Now switch of ur phone keep it aside
Go to flashtool
Click thunder icon
Select flashmode

the root is S3V3N_Root ,b ut the flash tools recognizes the two as .599
tried, seemed to work but no root ...
I got root. what I did was the same procedure as rooting .54
I used "Root with Restore by Bin4ry v17".
after successfully rooting on .599, re-install the .75 kernel, check all exclude system, baseband, fota and partition. except for the kernel. then un-check wipe data, cache and apps log..
it worked for me so it should work on yours too.

Yea but you don't use .75 kernel so... The point is to root and use 75 kernel which is better than 559

This is known possible side effect. You should proceed and everything should be ok at the end.
After repairing phone to 6.0.B.544 and then that crashed I flashed .75 and flashed the .599 kernel in flashtool and followed its instructions better. B1inary tool worked and then flashed the final part and now it works. lets see how long before I have to do the whole process again.
-- this happen because cwm corrupted the loadheader or watever.
There is already a root method included in the sticky and there is no link provided.

Re: [How-To] Fix Broken Touchscreen of xperia 2011 mdpi devices
I managed to fix my touchscreen like two weeks back after playing flash rom flash rom for half the day and now I see this thread lol.....
Device: WT19i
Rom: Zelly Cream 2.0 [MDPI]
Kernel : Lupas v3
Found a "workaround" for sk17i devices
Hi all,
After trying every provided solution on this board without any real progress or even success, i found a little trick to get both touchscreen and h/w keyboard working on my SK17i.
You need for that any custom rom with a aroma installer, and the corresponding file provided from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690889 thanks to ameer1234567890 for sharing those files, and kernel according to the firmware you want to install
1. Install Kernel (for me it was rage kernel)
2. Install via CWM the firmware you want (has to be with an aroma installer) (for me it was Zelly Cream)
3. Choose in aroma st17i instead of sk17i
4. Reboot after installation completed..
5. Wait until phone is fully present. touchscreen should now work but h/w keyboard not
5. Reboot again into CWM install "keymap_for_pro_XXXX.zip
6. Reboot phone again.. Now keyboard an touchscreen should be working. Also options for h/w keyboard should appear now.
Good luck,
I had this "bricked" touch for 6 weeks..
But now..
After trying all day this is my conclusion that ROM with aroma have come drivers in Active ROM that fixes this problem. anyone developer wanna look into it?
Fixed it
this one worked on mine
