Hi,
first I read the tutorials and followed them but I was not far away from bricking my phone.. Here is what I did:
Installed Flash Tool 0.9.5.0 and drivers
Started Flash Tool and selected Flashmode, started phone in Flashmode
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0076";ERR_DYNAMIC=" Flash too small for current partitioning"
Device didn't boot, showed triangle with "!" inside..
Searched the internet..
Flashed again with checkbox "Exclude Partition" checked..
Flashed successfully..
Disconnected Phone, powered on - short vibration but black screen
Restored original firmware with SEUS - now booting again but with Android 2.3..
Anyone an idea how to install ICS??
Thanks in advance

As I said I'm back on stock GB already.. I have not unlocked BL or rooted the phone, I only wanted to flash stock ICS as on update check it doesn't find ICS update (got phone from german provider 1&1).. I don't see why this tutorial should help me with my problem..

OK tried Sony Update Service and PC Companion and update check on the phone.. It says allways that I'm on the newest firmware but I'm still on GB.. Thats the reason why I wanted to flash it the manual way.. On the internet it was said around 20th of august that the update is rolling out
Can it be so hard? Flashed several phones before but failing hard on Xperia P..
So current situation, newest GB but no idea how to get official ICS working (always partition error with Flash Tool and black screen when flashing with exclude partition..)..
Huge mistake on my side!! The phone is XPERIA U not P as I thought.. Shame on me.. Guess I have to wait a few days more until the update arrives.. Sorry for my mistake and thanks for the help!
Small sideeffect, we now know that flashing XPERIA P rom on XPERIA U doesn't work

Ewjet MIUI etc are ROMs not firmwares. If pc companion or seus don't work then search for flashtool and use this to install global generic firmware. This will put ur phone back to how it was when u first got it

no is your phone working????
did u unlock ur bootloader???
did u flash a custom kernel r rom?? with 2.3 r 4.0 build???
Now my phone's good and working well with the restore of Pc Companion (ROM 2.3.4 .62!)
I have unlocked bootloader and I can flash all the custom kernel and ROM but this isn't my problem beacuse I want official ICS 4.0.4 and in Italy the update isn't relased.
How can I flash the official .FTF? I don't understand why flashtool don't work!
Hi all
Since I can't post in dev forum yet, hope some of you guys can help me.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of a Sony LWW, but when I try to access the fastboot mode, the led turn blue but the PC seems to not recognize the phone.
Flashtool even says it is connected in 'flashmode'.
Any help?
.62 rooted btw
Hello,
I updated my Xperia Mini Pro to ICS 4.0.4 last week. But there are lot of problems here. Also buggy and laggy.
So, how can I downgrade my mobile to original stock rom? without loosing the warranty. Because I bought this last month and I don't want it to lose warranty.

Just visit a Sony service centre... Itseems they downgrade the Rom to gb if u want.
Or you can flash ftf firmware file using flashtool. I don't think that voids warranty:good:

Correct they wont know the difference between flashtool downgrade and normal gb from before. So for warranty you will fine.
use flash tool .. it wont void warrent , because you will flash OFFICAL ROM .. so wont void warrenty
But im a newbie. How to use flash tool? my phone is not x10 mini pro. It's SK17i Mini pro.

If you do want to keep your warranty, you need to go to a service center. If not it's more than easy on Android.

you can search for official rom for GB at the development area
be sure you install flash tool too
it wont loose your warranty
If I were you I would look here and go to XX.Downloads. At Number 2 there is xperia mini pro.
Download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) and install flashtool, then click on the flash ,select flashmode and select the ftf from 4.0.2.A.0.42.
But install the drivers from the drivers folder of flashtool before.
Then click flash and power off your phone. Press and hold volume down and put usb cable in and connect to pc. The green light will shine.
Then flashtool will do everything automaticly and will flash the rom. (Btw all your data will be wiped!)
If you are on .42 then you can root with flashtool (just enable debugging and unknown sources on phone) and click the open padlock to root. Then connect to your wlan and search for updates on phone. Then update via ota to .62 firmware!
Thats the best way and it's the official firmware and it's like you never have been on ics before!

Thank you so much dude! I will do that. But i need to know that firmware is "world" one or is that a firmware made for a mobile company like AT&t or something else? Because I don't need to see a company logo when my phone is starting.
Also if I do this, am I able to update my OS to newer firmwares if SONY release it? Like ICS or JB?

Yes, you can download from here and if your bootloader is locked you can still upgrade over the air (wlan) to newer versions of your os!
Yes you can install upgrades from sony, to ics or jb (if it's out).
I think it's polish rom or something like this, but you can choose your language and it's like the generic world, only the crap by sony (like things that are preinstalled, like mcaffee or whatsapp, playstore now, etc ) is different (whatsapp is on some sony roms preinstalled, but you can also download in playstore, it was just an example!!)
So just flash it like I told you and then you are on stock sony rom, you can root it (cause .42 you can root easily: just enable usb-debugging and unknown sources on your phone with 4.0.2.A.0.42 and click the open padlock next to the flash). Then you can update (if your bootloader is locked, otherwise your phone will brick) to .62 firmware, the latest gingerbread firmware by sony. ( I don't know excatly in which countries, but in Germany there is a .69 firmware, with no changes on the software, I think, compared to .62)

Hi all, thanks and sorry if I am too noob. I am looking for solution for 2 hours and I cant find, maybe anyone can help me
I have Sola MT27i and I was trying to update to ICS and root my Xperia Sola for hours. I updated with Sony Companion and then I found the thread for root with Flashtool mode (flash to 6.1.1.B.1.10 with Flashtool, root using Bin4ry's method, then flash to 6.1.1.B.1.54), then I instaled CWM and I was trying now install a rom. It seems easy, and I did it last summer in my Geeksphone, but after various errors installing roms copied in externalSD as "installation aborted. Status: 7" I did the step 4 of this tutorial (enter in mounts and format system)and my Sola now only show SONY!!

Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).
Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue )
Solution:
Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.
Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.

What can i do?????
Try flashing just the stock Kernel of your phone version..
Had the same problem three weeks ago, can't flash system.sin . As far as I know, there's no solution for you. Fortunately, I took the phone to a repair centre and my phone was fixed under warranty (bricked while updating with SUS).

1 quest: is there ANY possibility that flashtools won't work with a well set up system and software???
Ok. Finally flashed succesfully! Just needed other computer because the one i used was TOOOOOO slow... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
