okey i unlocked the bootloade with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 then i had "no service" on my phone (i think beacuse i used the msm7227_Setool2.cmd). first i thought it might be an problme with the software so i installed MiniCM7-2.1.3 because the bootloader was unlocked. but htat didnt fix it. but now i accidentally flashed it with the stock kernel. it wont boot and it wont go into flashmode. so can you plz give me any suggestions how to solve this problem? thanks!
sorry if i made any mistakes im new to this forum
it just shows the sony ericsson logo
have you tried pc companion and update service it may get your phone working.
yes but it says i have to activate the usb on it to connect/use it with pc companion. and as i doesnt boot, i cant do this.
Have you tried se update service as you say your phone is not booting.
If update service can't do the magic then you will have to go for flashing tool ....
i cant get into flashmode (when the green led is on). so update service and pc companion dont detect it
now use flashtool and follow all the instruction on this link below

I'm helping my friend here
He did a full wipe on his X10, and now, his phone cannot boot, and neither can it enter recovery. My Mac can't even detect it(adb and fastboot cannot detect it).

Repair it using PCCompanion
Adding to that, you may also find it easier to do it on a windows-based pc.
This is caused by did the full wipe and then reboot the phone. At this time, there is no system files in the phone so it won't boot. Need to repair using PC Companion or SEUS or Flash Tool.

Hi,I am this friend who cleverly full wiped with xRecovery.However, my windows7 computer still cant detect my phone,and proves to be a problem.Anyone can help me by giving me a step by step in getting my phone back into flashable mode? or help fix this?
Same kind of problem here with a friend's phone I usualy use a htc desire.
He updated hi X10i (stock, not rooted), since then there's no boot, only exclamation mark for a few secs, and no usb.
I tried "<="+usb/power on -> exclamation mark, no recovery.
It's not detected in any way by my pc (installed sony tools etc...), windows or linux (no kernel message at all), same usb port, same cable, my htc phone works in both.
What can I do ?
Thanks !
You have to connect the phone in flashmode...
Use the link "How to use PC Companion" in my signature
I had the same problem a while ago. Phone not detected by PCC/flashtool, SEUS, no xrecovery... started to panic
Then i read a post here somewhere about wotansever - its free but you gotta sign up.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/
It detected my phone where all others failed and flashed it back to stock rom.
Try it - it works
Once you get it working again heres a great guide for flashtool (flashing/rooting/BL unlocking)

hey i tried to installed the rom you are currently using and i have my bootloader locked and when i was promted to setup the installation the touch on my phone was not responding and it seems that i just clicked on next and also appears that because of that my phone not is just stuck at logo, hope you can give a tip on how to instal this rom
I am not sure how i managed to do this,does when i was trying to unlock my boot loader with the test point method using s1tool or when i press the Repair TA button on Octopus SE Suite.Since then i can not enter in flash mode on my wt19i.It just shows the Sony logo and starts charging.Before this i was able to flash it normally.I`ve tried every possible flashing tool but all of them are asking me to enter the flash mode manually. (Unplug cable, power off, press and hold Volume down key and insert the usb cable).Where could be the problem?I have read many treads but i couldn`t managed to find a solution.Please help.Thanks.
Have you installed the drivers provided in flashtool?
And install pc companion to get drivers, too!

Yes they are installed.Here is an image where i can see that the ADB drivers are installed.(Highlighted area).
I`ve tried this also.I know that i must hold only the volume down key wile inserting the cable.I`ve done this few times few weeks ago.But something is messed up and i think its when i was trying the testpoint method using the s1tool.Is there any option in s1tool for reseting the phone to its original state?
Come on guys, no one had this problem before?Is it software or hardware related?
Update...
Is it possible that somehow buy upgrading to 4.0.4, key combination for entering in flash mode is changed?

And you turn your phone off and after that you hold volume down and connect while holding volume down to pc and there's no green light? Is it orange or what happens?
EDIT:: Just found this thread, and there's same problem solved. But you will need the original WT19i_35850804005723_11-02-2012_20-51-48.TA file and I don't know where to download it. Maybe contact ramezzidane (in the thread) and ask him where he found the .ta file or if he could upload it for you, because it seams that Octopus SE Suite has overwritten some things like fastboot mode etc. Hope it'll help you

When i get the prompt from flash tool i:
Unplug the phone
Turn off
hold down the volume - key
plug the usb cable to the phone
No color light at this point
On the phone appears the Sony logo
i hear a sound like new device plugged on the pc (No driver installation window on the taskbar)
The light goes orange and battery icon appears on the screen showing that is charging
That`s all.
Is there any method other than with Octopus Suite for rewriting TA?

So your bootloader is unlocked or locked at the moment? You say you were trying, but is it or not?

No.My bootloader is locked.
dude it may be driver problem
do one thing
go to device manager in windows 7
in bottom most u see "universal serial bus controllers"
expand the menu and uninstall all usb drivers(option in right click)
restart ur pc and now try to connect again
Have you tested your volume down key on Android? Maybe it doesnt work since you tried to unlock your phone...
In addition, i would try in another computer, installing drivers from the beginning.

You could try to flash the content of the ftf manually, but that's dangerous, cause if it doesn't work your device is bricked and you can't enter flashmode anymore to flash stock firmware.
And you can't repair via pc companion, cause you can't enter flashmode to flash the firmware again and you can't repair using sony update service, cause it's the same?
If you're sure it isn't a driver problem (install flashtool drivers and pc companion and restart pc) it should be only solved with flashing the ta, but that can only be done in flashmode and you can't enter it, right?
So is your device rooted, then unroot (if possible) and bring it to service center. They should repair it, but I can't promise. Tell them (cause flashing with flashtool voids warranty), that you had a problem and you wanted to repair using pc companion and you couldn't because you can't enter flashmode. That's the only method I think, except from writing the ta again. But don't know if they would repair it for free or if they can solve the problem...
Maybe we can find another solution for your problem
My phone was network locked few hours ago. I was trying the test point method again and now its locked totally.It is not accepting any sim cards.I read a post here on the forum where the guy was explaining this procedure so at the end he managed to fix the flashmode.But as he stated the phone will remain network locked.For that he mentioned the setool method for network unlocking.For me went bad.Now my phone is network locked and the key combination still doesn`t work.So now can you give me the cheapest way to unlock my phone first and then go back to my first problem.Is there any chance to get it unlocked by the IMEI number?All of the keys on the phone are working very well but i still can`t enter in flash mode.I tried flashing on another computer with fresh windows installation but it`s same.It`s not driver related i am sure.Ether is wrong key combination or is that TA thing.Thanks to all of you guys for your efforts, but i must find a way to fix these problems.
Update...
Ok Guys.I`ve take the phone to a local repair service and they`ve managed to fully unlock it.It cost me 10 eur for that.Now on the bootloader status in the service menu says "Yes" instead earlier when it was "No".But i still have the Flashmode problem.I hold the Vol - key while plugin in the cable and the phone just starts charging with a orange light indicator.Where could be the problem i really don`t understand?Any idea?
I think the problem is the ta. Octopus may have overwritten some functions like flashmode. But I don't know exactly if it works to rewrite ta...
And what should i do next now?The newest i've noticed is that my GPS is not working anymore.I think that it's the ICS version but i am not able to reflash it.Comon is there no one that had this problem?

The guy from the mobile repair store told me that when i was doing the test point method i`ve broken something in the JBS or JVS.I didn`t understand him very well.And he told me that he somehow managed to unlock my phone but about the flashing problem he said that i will never may flash the phone again.Is this ok or?

1.Switch off your mini
2.remove battery and wait for 5 seconds before you reinsert it
3.keep holding upper volume button and connect usb cable (make sure its already connected to PC)
4.if there's blue notification light, then its fastboot mode.
5.Also you need fastboot driver installed from sdk on your PC
May be, if you are familiar with all above steps, i guess something wrong on PC. check with removing & reinstalling fastboot driver from sony's site

You say you had unlocked bootloader before flashing ST15i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_CE ftf
And then you upgrade to .587 via pc companion ?
Because AFAIK when I tried updating same on my friends phone with unlocked bootloader. Pc companion denied to update because of software modification.
And if you were successfully updated then most probably your bootloader is relocked. So you may wanna check that!
Also try for hard reset if possible!

Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)
