Hey All,
The phone is a UK Xperia S on 6.1.4.453 (White 32GB), PC is Win7 64Bit
Rooted OK
rebooted OK
bootloader unlock using the sony appoved process and that completed ok.
rebooted OK
Used the fastboot method to a install the CWM recovery-nozomi.img which also appeared to work OK
Reboot took me straight into the CWM recovery menu. Version at the top says 5.5.0.4
I tried a reboot at this point before I did anything else to make sure it would still boot normally but it just returned me to the CWM recovery menu and now my troubles begin...
I tried a shutdown (power+up until 3 vibrates) and it shutdown OK. Powering it on again just returns me to the recovery menu.
CWM will not allow me to use "Mount USB" due to an error (below) so I can't transfer a ROM
E:unable to open ums lunfile (file or directory not found)
I followed the flashtool instructions and I've run the "flashtool-drivers" a few times now but it still complains with the following...
04/058/2012 23:58:19 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

I've already rebooted the PC a few times and tried different USB ports.
I've spent all night reading and googles and reading and googling and just getting the same "You didn't install the drivers" advice, but I've definitely installed
Can anyone help me resolve this one please?
Additional info. I had to download the 64bit drivers to get fastboot to work and I had to reboot the PC
Thanks all,
mub
install sdk or pda.net
Install it manually with device manager point it to the folder with the drivers.

Yea it'll be your pc being a ****. As all you need to do is flash a rom with kernel excluded.
What kernel did you flash for cwm?

I'll give the anual driver install a go.
It's interesting that you mention the kernael, when I did the CWM install it did not instruct me to install a new kernel.
Here is the instructions I used. http://www.android.gs/install-clockworkmod-recovery-sony-xperia-s/

Yey, got flashmode working.
I used the win 7 device manage tweak to sure all hardware (including uplugged items) and forcably removed all the sony / xperia related bits. Then I installed the drivers again.
The other thing I did was look at the order I ran the flashing process. Instead of waiting for the "now attached your phone" window to appear I just attached using the Flashmode process (plugin with Down held) and when flashtool said it could see a device that was in flashmode I then hit the "flash" bottom, hit the OK's as prompted and bingo it stayed in flashmode and now my phone is back.
Thanks for everyones input.
/mub
Just thought I should add this cause I had the same problem but fixed it. When you try to install the flash tool drivers from the "drivers" folder, look to the very bottom of the list of drivers to install. There should be two, "Flash tool" driver and "fast boot" driver. I installed those two along with the drivers for my phone and the problem went away.
If anybody could help............
When I connect my mobile to flashtool it just shows this

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

Your tried to unlock your booloader and now dont turn on?
If your phones was manufacturated after 11w29, you got a hard brick.
Hello everyone, I am using sony ericsson x10 mini mobile phone. I want to install custom ROM cyanogen 7 gingerbread. But I am facing problem while booting this in recovery mode. I have tried the following.
downloaded custom rom for xperia mini and copied in to sdcard
installed ROM Manager Premium (not purchased, downloaded from google search and it is working fine)
installed root explorer
S1 tool
Rooted from superoneclick
downloaded xRecovery and copied into system folder
Flash tool - showing bootloader unlocked, and dont know how to flash phone.
msm7227 - used for unlock boot loader
I have rooted my phone successfully, all above things did successfully, when i am trying to boot my phone into recovery mode then it is not boot in that mode instead it boots in normal mode. What I am doing when phone starts and sonyericcson appears then i continuously pushing button many times but it boots in normal mode. So what I have to do to boot my phone in recovery mode. I have read and tried many guides in your forum but nothing works. Please help me.
Use FlashTool to flash a custom kernel (many cKernels haves recovery included, like nAa kernel). Follow these steps:
Download the ftf file of the kernel.
Drag it into the Flashtool window.
Another window will appear, then power off your phone and connect it to USB with the Back button pressed.
The flashing process takes less than 5 seconds, disconnect your phone when Flashtool says "Flashing Finished".
All right, now you can enter to recovery
Note: If you don't want a custom kernel, you lost your time unlocking the bootloader
I have tried to flash my x10 mini, like I have downloaded the flash file .ftf and with help of FlashTool_0.2.5 done flash my phone. Now flashing displayed some error and after 10 - 15 seconds I disconnected my phone but now phone is turning on. So I want to know what should i do and can I able to turn on my phone again. Please help me .
EDIT
Phone is stuck in boot loop at just before sony ericcson LOGO appears
when i attach it to pc to flash it displays

Hmm... I think you're not connecting your phone correctly, FlashTool should say "Device connected in flash mode" when you connect it correctly.
Are you sure that you're following the steps that I mentioned before?
Hi, you were right, i was not connecting my phone correctly in flash because battery connector was not connected properly. That's why my phone was booting. Now I have restored my phone in stock ROM which is downloaded from website. But the problem is I am unable to install custom ROM on my phone. On my phone android 2.1 has installed when I am flashing with new kernel ( E10_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11 ) then it stuck into boot loop at sony ericsson animated logo. That's why I have to again flash it with stock ROM to make its working. I think this kernel is not compatible with android 2.1. I want to know is there any other way to install custom ROM on this phone means with the help of Flash Tool like installing stock ROM. If yes, them please provide me cyanogen 7 firmware stable version. Thank you...
Yes, you're right, custom kernels are not compatible with Sony stock ROM.
I recommend you MiniCM ROM, to install it follow the next steps:
Download nAa kernel, MiniCM zip file and GApps zip file. Copy the zip files into your SD.
Flash nAa kernel.
Enter to the recovery (pressing several times Back button when nAa kernel logo appear).
Go to full wipe/factory reset option. Wait for the process to finish.
Now, got to install zip from SD card option. Seek for the MiniCM zip file that you copied before.
Wait for the process to finish. Go to the same option, selecting now the GApps zip. Wait again. The recovery options will appear once again, go to Reboot now option and wait (the first boot will take a while)
You will lose all your app data when you make a full wipe, so you should consider to make a backup (Titanuim backup i.e.) if you don't want to lose all that.
I you still having troubles, send me a PM
I try to root my xperia mini pro sk17i by using flashtool
it was never successful and stop at 73% by showing "end flash session"
then, i just cant turn on my phone any more
what can i do??
Try different version of flashtool. Check if your ftf file is okay or not. Did you check USB debugging and unknown sources?
My USB debugging and unknown sources are check
and I've try five different kind of firmware
some stop a 1% some 2% the further progess was 73%
but all it show that "end flash session" and i cant turn on my phone

If everything fails, use Wotanserver. I restored my bricked Active this way.
Try connecting the phone until the animation of connecting phone appears, it worked for me when that happened
We have 4 method to flash the device :
1. Update service
2. PC Companion
3. Flashtool
4. Wotan server
If none of them succed, then it's look like your internal memory got some bad block.
If you have unlocked or patched bootloader, you can check it using fastboot command :
fastboot erase [partition]
Replace [partition] with cache,userdata or system

Place downloaded firmware file(.ftf format) in Flashtool\firmwares(by default C:\Program Files\Flashtool) folder.

Hi - I hope you are having a good day.
My stock non-rooted xperia sola is stuck in a boot loop.
I have been reading forums for days. Have tried flashtool and also cwm.
Phone is totally standard - not even USB debug is turned on - unless this is the default.
On power up I get xperia logo and then Sony logo and then loops again forever.
Flashtool connects via my xp laptop but then has an error trying to flash.
Cwm does not find my device.
Any help much appreciated. I'm quite techno but not with phones ( yet)

I have also tried the obvious power + vol up button for restart and shutdown.

What windows version do you have?
Post a log for connecting with flash mode without flashing anything, just open flashtool and connect in flash mode.
Make sure you are using USB 2.0 ports, USB 3 won't work.
Bootloader locked?
Tried to flash in fastboot mode with flashtool?
Other way you can flash it is with adb commands, check this.
You have to use the kernel that your zip file has, obviously. It's in an .iso format.

Did you read all of it or just the itle?
First of all it's for different device, and second the flashing was done with fastboot.

Thanks - for the help but I managed last night to get it to work. I have XP SP3 & USB2.0 and I needed to go into to Safe Mode to connect the phone so that the drivers would load correctly.

First of all, I know, but I send that link because it's the same way to flash another Android device, with adb commands, if flashtool doesn't work, it's worth to try something else like adb commands? Yeah.
And second, sorry, didn't knew.

Next time you should use Sony's updater if something like a bootloop happens, it's much easier than using flashtool and installing drivers.
Sony Update Service or you can use Sony PC Companion too. It has a repair function.
