Ok guys i will try to explain myself the best i can.
I have an xperia mini pro sk17i so i was on 0.62 after i decided to test some rooms ect, so i opened the bootloader with the sony webpage and rooted my rom. I also installed another kernell.
But now i want to get back to my original 0.62 stock rom. I flashed a version of 0.42 and rooted it, and when i tried to upgrade from the mobile system to 0.62 it says that it cant be done. Also i tried to install xparts in order to get cmw recovery and all the time it says force close it cant be installed.
What can i do? Thanks a lot.
you cant update from phone cause u have unlocked bootloader
So how can i get, original one? And why i cannot install clockwork recovery?
wrong section.. please give question on Q/A general section..
Edit: let me answer too.. if you unlock bootloader you cant update from sony.. like PCC or OTA or SUS.. only one way.. is flashtool.. just download your ftf (ROM) and flash it offline..
thank you..

Hi
If you follow the forum you will find some posts of me trying to have last fw .62 rooted with CWM working. Even if some users can do it by OTA, other by other process I never have total success but like most of you…I simple wont to have last fw .62 working, rooted and with CWM also working. The best I get was .62fw rooted but without CWM working and if install fw.62 by the traditional way I just get SE logo and have to flash it again.
After several times I finally have it work…
The only thing I have so far is that I believe I flash what I think is last baseband and after I flash it my computer says I have a new fw to install!!
This process is using pieces of ideas from others so I just get a way of put all together and have it working for me and decide to share with you.
Like always you can try it at your own responsibility.
Fist you should have .42 fw installed.
Root it.
Install CWM XPERIA from market (not the traditional way)
Download this and put it on your SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...tloaderlock/generic/generic620.2.zip/download
Reboot NEO on CWM and install the file.
Reboot your phone and install the previous downloaded file.
At this time you have fw .62 without kernel.
Reboot your phone again and again go to the icon of CWM and reinstall again CWM.
Put you phone off again and flash just the .62 kernel. You can use .62 complete fw and choose only to install kernel.
At this point you should have .62 fw with .62 kernel.
On my case I install CWM again just in case.
If you reboot and press down volume you will have access to CWM.
I flash what I read that was last baseband using this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?tfd8bdbdrcd4bpq (after that my computer advice me to update phone…don´t know way)
For those that consider my guide too nooby…guys was the only way I found…sorry.
For those that somehow contribute with links to have it compiled I thank them.

You're welcome, but i solved the battery drain with 2 mates
Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but yet again I think my problem is unique. I bought an Xperia Neo, unlocked the bootloader, flashed .62 down to .42 (so I can root), rooted it, and my wi-fi doesn't work. There is a full stable network, but it doesn't recognize it. I tried other networks, but all my friends' wi-fi works perfectly, and I can't even find the network. The wi-fi itself turns off after a few seconds of being on, What could I havew done wrong? Please help.

Do a backup and flash .64 Why on earth did you downgrade back to .42 just to root when your bootloader is unlocked? Just install a custom kernel with CWM and flash a superuser zip.
P.S. DON'T DO OTA. You might brick your PHONE!
jasonwsc is right
Flash .62 and then do one of the unlocked bootloader methods to gain root acces or even better install a custom rom.
DONT GO FOR ICS you will regret it..
Anyway maybe it is a bug with .42 firmware edition
Jut upgrade to .62

Never wanted ICS at all, I know it ain't much better, but spends a lot more hardware to run

Google it! You'll find it on superuser developer's site. Ready to flash. Also if you dont want any trouble of those things, just flash a custom ROM like codename.

Don't want to flash a custom ROM, a lot of reasons.. But thanks a lot for your assistance
flash .62 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723

DONT FORGET TO HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
recently i unlocked my bootloader and was using FeraLab v20 ROM with FeraKernel.
after that i flashed kCernel_v5_1036.ftf Kernel.
When the flash was complete i could not enter in recovery mode and phone booted to the fera v20 ROM.
then tried flashing recovery mode via flashtool but no help.
Then tried flashing FeraKernel which i was using earlier but flashtool gave me error each time i tried flashing it.
The error is in the image below.
so help me.... i dont know wht to do know... im getting frustrated a lot. cud not find any help from various threads.
Look...this kcernel isnt finished yet, i think...this is project in development...but, lets try to help you...
First download latest Flashtool 0.9.8.0. and install it.
Download SEUS and flash STOCK rom with it. That will install and Stock kernel. After that, root your phone again via Flashtool( new one). Than choose kernel (Ferakernel, Doomkernel) to flash if you don't want Stock one, or just flash Bootmanager v2 by Doomlord, (to get Xrecovery, CWM recovery, and Bootmanager) via flashtool to gain access to recovery modes.
thnxx mate for ur help.. i flashed stock rom via flashtool and everythng is back to normal.... thnxxxxxx for ur help..:good:
Please Help

Hi Guys,
I've been flashing a custom rom (GB) for test purpose, and after a flash my phone got hanging during boot at sony ericsson.
I then tried to flash stock .42 ftf, no luck, then stock .62 ftf, same, afterwards update with sony update service to latest fw, without any luck.
then tried once to update it with pc companion, but still hanging at sony logo.
Any ideas how could I recover my phone?
Thank you!
sorry, I've just realized I should have been posting this thread in the Q&A section, I was in hurry ....
would a moderator move it to the right section?
thanks!
u have a locked bootloader????
Yes, I do!
i think the only way is now to try a custom rom! u have tried so many things! jyst give it a try!
:good:
all i need is a thanks! plz press
if you'd read my first post you'd have seen that I started with flashing custom rom.
unfortunately I don't have what to thank for !
would a moderator please delete this topic, I found an older one discussing the same, so this one is useless.
sorry!
Good morning everybody
As in the title.... I'm newbie with Sony development... My friend has SE Xperia mini PRO as a secondary device
He wants to update it to ICS..... I checked the OTA updates and unfortunately it says "you have the latest version"... Is the GB the latest really???? Surely no
So I tried to search the XDA and found the Middle East update with flashtool
I'm afraid about the bootloader issue..... Do I have to unlock it when I use flashtool??
I read everywhere that I must unlock it if I want to flash custom ROMs and kernels..... But this ROM is stock ICS with a TFT file "flashtool flashable"
This is a link for the ROM's thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810037
So my question is... Do I have to unlock the bootloader before flashing this??
Notice: the device runs on factory functions ( Stock 2.3.4 GB.. not rooted or modified yet )
Please help
Nope no need to unlock bootloader to use flashtool.
Just connect it in flashmode (turn off, vol down + connect) and choose flashmode in flashtool
Regards
-N
no need to unlock bl buddy! just flash using flashtool. remember to install adb for your phone!
Nope
You only need to unlock your bootloader if you're gonna install a custom kernel. So, no need to do so. You can flash it to ICS via Flashtool with an FTF file.
