so this morning i tried to root my xperia minipro.
i had the ics, so i flash the kernel to Neo MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Kernel .
after i follow the flashing instruction.
i start to root my device with this tutorial > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
then i flash the kernel back to SK17_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel .
the first attempt. after i follow all the instruction, nothing happen. my device still not rooted.
and i try to flash the kernel again, but then my phone screen goes black.
at first i thought it's just rebooting, but after i wait nothing happen.
i've tried to press the power button, and still nothing happen.
only the led on the back button turned on, and then goes off again and on again, and then off again.
i tried to flash the kernel again. but i can't even get to the flash mode.
did i just bricked my device ?

i've done that already.
after the rooting process is done, all i had to do is flash the kernel back right ?
the root process is done, but i can't flash the kernel, i can't even get into flash mode.

No for kernel.sin of the stock firmware you go in flashmode and exclude all except from kernel...
Try it again, install the drivers again, press volume down while connecting, it must work. Take off battery before you try and reinsert. The phone must be turned off!

hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer
Hi, what is your model no? and you rooted it?
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
i use sk17i mini pro as mentioned above and yes it is obviously rooted
Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

If you can access flashmode, then your okay. Just flash stock firmware.
Will check Flashtool option.
Yep, you're correct, Flashtool has option to not wipe user data.

Flashmode - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to your computer, hold down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable to your phone.

"Follow this guide External rooting guide but in steps 5 and 12 instead of "rootxperia.zip" use "mini_mod_v1.8.zip". Once you have phone fully booted I suggest to install CWM recovery mode (you probably don't have it now) - CWM installation file - run install-cwm1.cmd and follow the onscreen instructions. Then you will be able to enter CWM recovery via volume down button during booting."

plz help me thanks in advance gents
Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

You have unlocked bootloader, right mate?

When you install jb for first time you have to wait till your phone boots properly. Could ask 15-30 minutes or even more. The key is to be patient.

Hi guys,
I'm using Xperia sola rooted phone with 4.0 and I was installing metamorph - lock theme and the phone restarted and it is going in an endless loop of resarts.
It's possible to put the phone completely off by using power & volume key combo, also i can put the device under flashboot and fastboot mode.
Kindly tell me a way outta this !!
I won't be getting a cell phone for another year I guess

I can put the device in flashboot/fastboot though!

Any chances that I can recover the phone?

If you bootloader is unlocked you can try flash a kernel with CWM that support adb.
If not, do you have the FTF file for the firmware that is currently installed?
I would try at first flashing system.sin only from the firmware FTF, no wipes everything else expluded.
You will lose root and other modes copied directly to /system but you should have data intact.

Well no CWM installed & I haven't done the unlocking of bootloader yet.
Yeah I do have these two files in my flashtool firmware folder which I used :
MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf
MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf
Which one are you referring to, since I had to use .10 first followed by .54 to get the root done !
Can you please point to a tutorial where I can follow the steps which you are referring to? That will be helpful

But flash overrides and erase everything.
For root didn't you just had to install kernel .10 over .54 firmware no?
Anyway the system from the one that is flashed now you the only one that knows which, I am guessing .54

Check this link: "theunlockr.com/2013/09/10/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-sola-running-6-1-1-b-1-54-firmware/"
I used the above method to get the root done. Yeah it's running .54 currently. But the rooting wasn't the issue, it happened successfully, the theme which I mentioned gave me endless loop of restarts problem.

I just said that flashing system will make you lose anything that's on it, in that includes root

What did you do exactly?
Is your bootloader unlocked, and do you know and used flashtool, PC Companion, or Sony Update before?

First thing you need to calm down.
You can flash a formware with flashtool, no need for debugging mode.
You just need to download firmware file or to build it yourself.
To download you will have to search.
To build your own, start PC Companion, click start under support zone, click start under phone / tablet software update, click the link repair my phone / tablet, follow the instructions on screen until it finish downloading files and ask to connect in flash mode. then stop it.
Follow one of the guids below to build FTF file

Once done flash the file you made, with flashtool, in flash mode.

The link is for locked bootloader. you do not need debugging mode for flashing a new kernel. Just put your phone in fastboot mode. and flash the kernel using cmd. then restart your phone. You will be able to enter CWM.
I FIX it

How are you trying to get into recovery?
What does the LED do while you boot the ZU?
I would just flash jackie099's kernel and restore the backup from there - I cant see how flashtool would be failing except for a problem on the PC

yes master...
i cant get into recovery, i used to get no problem at all flashing kernels or down/upgrading ftf to it...
but right now i'm stuck with this kernel wich theres no recovery at all, no light no recovery...:crying:
i've tried to reflash kernels many times but failed...
the worse part that i got is that it has no signal at all...:crying:
if i flash it with any new ftf (down/upgrade), the kernel should be replace by the list on ftf package right...
but not mine...
Stucks... (3.4 bla bla)
how could i recover my ZU if i cant flash the kernel...:crying:

Make sure your phone is turned off.
Start Flashtool and click the lightening bolt at the top left and select 'FASTBOOT MODE'.
You should now see a new window of flashtool titled FASTBOOT TOOLBOX.
Plug in your phone while holding the Volume Up button
Back on flashtool: To the far right where it says 'By DOOMLORD', just below that the second option is 'Select Kernel to Flash', click it.
Browse for the .IMG file that you downloaded from the top of this post(which is the boot file for your phone to boot and let you into recovery).
Change the file type that's listed next to File Name at the bottom of the browse window, to .IMG
Select the .img file and it should flash automatically and tell you to check the log list shown right in flashtool before rebooting. If you don't see any errors then go ahead and unplug your device and boot it and try going into recovery.
You should be good to go now.
