If I flash a boot.img it say's 1 bad block encountered well first I was like 'whatever' but the lasted CM9/CM10 release have 7MB + boot.img files so I seem to be unable to flash them because of the bad block (got black screen). Is there any way to fix it myself for free and please don't say to send it to repairs I think that is my very last option as my bootloader is unlocked.

Connect phone and go to device manager then look for a unrecognized driver. Simply install drivers

you don't need to unlock. you got safe mode because you hold the vol - too long. just press it several times (without holding) when sony logo appear to go into recovery

hello,
im having a issue with my phone. i have installed CWM on it and i was just looking for roms. first i installed MIUI Rom which i didnt like.. so after that i did a full wipe and then installed another rom which is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955630 this one
and now...i think that i can throw away the phone. it wont boot/start up. if i press the power button it just vibrates ones and then it looks like it dies again. the red dot on the top right shows up for like 3 seconds even if i am recharching it right now. i cant go in the CWM menu either. i tried a battery remove trick, that didnt help either. what did go wrong when i was installing the rom? when it was done installing it. it just didnt want to starting up again..
please help.. i don't wanna throw away 200 euros..
Thread moved to Q&A
Please post in the correct section next time
yes sir, i just paniced a little bid
i own a htc sensation bymyself and i did alot of rom testing. nothing happened to my htc, and on this sony i just tried 2 roms.. the second 1 did all the crashing on it :S

downloading the flashtool but it takes 32min... Unless i can find a registered account somewhere hihi
Yup I knw limitations of being a junior member
Once u have the ftf file and flashtool
Install flashtool in any drive lets say c drive
Go to c / flashtool / firmware
In the firmware folder place ftf file
Now go to c / flashtool / driver
And install driver for xperia u
Now open flashtool
( make sure ur device is off and not connected to ur pc)
Click on thunder icon
Select flashmode
Select ftf file
Check on exclude ta
Also check no final verification
Now click flash
Flashtool will ask u to Connect phone
Now pick up ur SWITCHED OFF phone, press the VOLUME DOWN button... Keep the volume down button pressed.. And connect the usb to ur phone
Flashing will start ( once flashing starts leave the volume down button) and let it finish

This has been asked many times before.
Anyway Sony 2011s have a different partition scheme which makes boot partition accessible only in fastboot.
So you have to carry on with flash tool I guess

it's not possible on sony phones
as they don't have a recovery partition
it can done on samsung phones
The thread which Lone linked says it all
Nothing more to be added
And no point n discussing further
Plus I said so cos the ones in those thread are all RC n RD or pretty experienced (Not goin by title,but by my personal experience with them when they were active in our own forum)so we as end users do not have any other alternative for our Sony phone!

MY XU always shutdown even when I am not turn it off. I dont know the reason. I used to unlock bootloader, but then I re-locked it already, just rooted it for install a custom ROM.
Any specific app u use when it shuts down? Can u provide a logcat?
Are u on stock rom or custom one?
Is it a shutdown or a bootloop?

what is bootloop?
I didnt use any app and it still shutdown recently
I am using a custom ROM named eXperience
Bootloop means phone restarting by itself multiple number of times
Bt as u said it shutdowns, I guess its not bootloop
Do u have any such problm in stock rom?
Have u told ur problm to developer of experience rom?
