Hi all. I need help.. I've installed Doomkernl with ICS sotck firmware on the phone because I didn't read it was incompatible. Now it stuck at the boot screen and I can't do nothing. There is something I can do to repair it??
Flash only the kernel using flashtool, ics firmware
Tapatalked !
So I have to download the stock firmware and flash it? But I can do this when my phone is on and can't go in recovery mode? And also I cant install USB drivers..
Download and install flashtool. Then install drivers from the flashtool directory. Read the tutorial on how to use it
Tapatalked !
I did, I installed the driver with flashbot for xperia s but when i connect the device it tell me that can't install MTP USB driver. And I also need to turn off the phone but the power button doesn't work..
Hold the power and volume up button for 10 secs to power off. As for the drivers uninstall and reinstall flashtool and see if it works
Tapatalked !
Thanks for your help. I have installed an ics kernel in fastboot mode but when I rebooted I had black screen. So I have turned off the phone and connected in flashboot mode but it didn't install the driver. I reinstalled driver in the folder and tried to connect again but now the pc desn't recognize the device..
I tried again and this time it worked! The phone is restored. Thanks a lot for your help
As you've already got the answer to your query, I'm closing this thread.
Post in the Q & A section next time.

Are you sure you flashed the right ftf for sk17i or sk17a, don't know which one you have?
Normally homekey must work if you have flashed the right ftf!
Yes, restart your pc, after that it should work. If you want to reflash it, you don't need to power on or anything, you just connect in flashmode and that should work! Turn phone off, pull battery, put in battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect to pc, don't power on device just connect while holding volume down. And do that AFTER flashtool has prepared the files, so select the right ftf again and click ok. When the picture on how to put it in flashmode appears, put it with volume down in flashmode, should work
Otherwise look in my signature, there's how to use flashtool in the rooting guide on step 2 rooting 4.0.2.A.0.62/69 there's how to prepare all and do it...
im sure i got the right tft, i did try to reflash it but it wont continue because it wont connect in my pc..im trying to restore some system apps that i uninstalled after root. btw thanks for helping mihahn. if things work out with this restoration, could you please give me some list of good custom roms and kernels for sk17i?thanks a lot for helping guys

You can't install custom kernels if your bootloader isn't unlocked. Only roms for locked bootloader. And without working home button you can't select anything in clockworkmod.
So better reflash the ftf. And you don't need msc or mtp mode, just connect with volume down when phone is turned off. Doesn't flashtool recognize it. Did you install the drivers from flashtool>drivers folder now?
Does windows detect anything when you connect in flashmode? Any sound?
Otherwise:
1.Download pc companion and connect phone, it will show the update. After that folllow the onscreen instructions.
2. If PCC doesn't show up the update, just go to the repair option and it will flash it again, too.
If nothing works, unroot and bring it to service center because of the homebutton
thanks...i got my phone fixed.i just restored the Setup Wizard via titanium back up... and i reflash it..thanks
Hello guys, i need help ..
I wanted flash this custom ROM on my LwW, so I rooted device, installed CWM, unlocked bootloader, wiped data/cache/dalvik and flash it. But now is phone lagged on boot screen (ŠONY logo) ... i cant go to CWM, when i want restore via SUS, it says: The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated; and flashtool lags in flash process in text - Reading device information.
Can I do anything? Please help. :crying: thanks
Flashtool should work. Make sure you install the flashtool drivers properly, then,
1. open flashtool
2. Shut down your mobile
3. Connect data cable only to the computer.
4. press and hold only the volume DOWN button in your device and plug in the cable to the phone and the notification led should light up green indicating that the phone is into flash mode then it should be recognized by flashtool.
(make sure the flashtool drivers are properly installed and the USB port you are using in your computer is high speed USB port)

I tried for over 30 vezez and sometimes not recognize the computer.

I ran back to Stock GB Rom with kernel bboof ....

Once you connect your phone via usb and while you are pressing volume up button, on windows go start-> right click on computer->devices manager. Now you should see your device. Right click and install drivers manually from the folder of the drivers you downloaded.
Notice that you have to be fast since and that maybe you will have to repeat this procedure several times since firsts times phone remains on fastboot for really few seconds.
You can also try another way. Download and install latest flashtool. After that go to Computer-> C:/-> Flashtool-> Drivers-> run Flashtool-drivers. Install the drivers for your device.

Before you try to unlock or flash, just leave flashtoll open and connect in fastboot mode, if all is ok it will show in dlashtool window.

now all is fine!!! i'm unlocked
thank you very much

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)
