Hello,
I'm trying to relock the bootloader on my Sola in order to be able to install ICS using Sony Companion (getting the modified software installed everytime i try to upgrade).
The problem is that i keep getting the same error all the time with files that others reported that worked fine.

If i use the x64 version of flashtool it gives the error right after going into flashmode:
01/048/2012 18:48:37 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";
Any ideas?
Thanks

Anyway, i downloaded stock ICS Global version ftf file and flashed it with flashtool without any problems so it's ok for now
Thanks

Hi,
I have messed up xperia X10a. I installed miui rom first but gsm was not working so i tried another rom "Vanisense 2.0" which now brings up some htc boot screen.
I am not able to go into recovery mode can any body help me on this ?

If you can't even get into xrecovery you need to start fro scratch and flash a fw again.
How long did you wait? When you flash a rom it wipes caches etc and first boot can take some time as it rebuilds them.

I waited for 5 mins... Ohh i missed my I also did factory reset form xrecovery I am now downloading flash tool what you say will this help me ?
Yes, use the instuctions in the guide and download a new firmware to flash with flashtool

As others have mentioned, use the SE desktop tool and flash via the guides. I question why you'd install a non-X10 rom on an X10 and expected it to work.
It was accidentally
Ok i followed the guide steps I gave me an error see below:

What are you flashing? A custom kernel?
You need an unlocked bootloader
+make sure that drivers are installed

Hi
Thanks for quick reply but i am unsure on what you mean
I have got this phone off a friend it was on 3 network it has never been flashed rooted ETC but he got a new phone and he hasnt used this phone in about a year and when he put it on charge to turn it on it just started flashing red light.
I firstly tried a new battery but no luck
then i got told to use fashtool to flash it using the generic 3 uk firmware, but if you could link me to a guide/tutorial of how and what i need to do it will be greatly appreciated

Hi everybody...
I have a Xperia u (ST25i), rooted, bootloader unlocked.and it runs terrarom with build number 1.54...
but yesterday I wanted to roll back to the stock rom with build number 1.100 and I realized that there's an error in flash tools. so I decided to flash the old rom (1.54) but again it's all the same. I uninstalled flash tools and updated to the 9.11 version. I install the flash tools drivers. but again the same...FYI when i try to install the drivers, in the last part it says that something's not installed.but I check all the boxes in installation wizard here is the log I copied from flash tools...

Have you flashed this file before?
It could be a problem with the file itself, or driver problem, can you post exactly what is the message you get when installing the drivers ("something" is not very informative)

No, I meant the driver installer not flashtool, you said it says "something" is not installed.

Hey XDA Community
I had to get a replacement Sony Xperia Z Ultra recently due to a fault and have now received a new handset but i am having alot of trouble with it this time round when it comes to either flashing/rooting/unlocking
heres my previous thread i made before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446766&highlight=unbranded
I cant for the life of me flash this new handset :S
All drivers are installed correctly, and have latest version of flashtool even updated the handset to the latest
build number 14.1.B.2.257
I keep getting the message saying error please install drivers etc etc
but the drivers are installed and correct
also i tryed to root the phone but no success as i think i read the build number i am now on cant be rooted so fair enough, i wanna flash this phone with the unbranded file in my previous thread but i seem to be stuck as i cant get the flashtool to work
is there another way
Hey hey! I got the same problem as you and guess what, it was Flashtools fault.
I installed 3 different versions and flashtool-0.9.12.1-windows worked for me!
So I recommend that you try 11, 12 and the latest being 13.
cools i did try another version but got the same crap will try other versions of flashtool
damn... same problem get the same message install drivers flash aborted

And you're 100% sure that you installed the drivers from the folder? So when you connect the phone there aren't any triangles in device manager? I had loads of trouble installing drivers and then realized I had to turn off driver signature check on Windows 8.
When I installed drivers I could flash with version 12. I really just recommend you to uninstall and reinstall. I reinstalled a couple times.
Makes me wonder why.
i just updated to windows 8.1 how do i turn off signature check?
i managed to get it turned off now and drivers are installed now but still get the same message

Reinstall Flashtool. Reinstall between 12 and 13 a couple times.

I disabled driver signature verification (by googling 'disable driver signature windows 8.1'), then re-installed the drivers (Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe in my case, but you should try with the latest ones!), then it worked.
bcdedit is your friend. See this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553484(v=vs.85).aspx
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z Ultra
you can find the driver in local disk C or program file where you have install flashtool, you can find file driver, and then you open flashtool-driver.exe, just follow prosedure (click next) choose your type driver and finish it until the end.
after that you just flash the phone as usual.

Try to repair it using Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3
thank you sir
so it means their is no other mannual way?
Since internet connection is very slow here, and frequently power problem so these are only two options left ?
Kindly tell me what went wrong while flashing? It will help me in future.

You can of course try flashing another .ftf for your device using a notebook so the power won't get down and you should flash it successfully. But be sure to select the ftf first and click okay and when the popup appears to connect the phone, connect the phone in flashmode
If that doesn't help try the repair option in one of the other two programs, and if you download/use them on a notebook then there shouldn't be any problem with your power

Thanks for your guidance and help me more,
I just found out that may be the cause of bricking my phone is due to absance of abd drivers as well exact drivers of sony lww.
Though i have installed pc companion and flashtools my phone yet to detected by both.
I installed drivers from flastool's drivers folder but sony lww's drivers are not in it.
I found drivers from out side as well but nothing happened.
The proof of absenceof drivers are this log .
Take a look
log
un able to paste log here, so im attaching.
Kindly look into it
Bricked Sony live with walkman is alive again
thank you for xda community
thanks mihahn
hi. for those who are in search of updating Sony live with walkman.
its my experience.
first of all my big thanks for the xda community.
here we go.
I was in 2.3.6 gb, then I planned to update my Sony lww.
their is two ways to update your phone one is company's which dont need rooting (as well no boot loader unlocking )
it won't void your warrenty.
all you need is patience, data connection, + ,ABD drivers ( to recognise any android phone to computer).
and most importantly Sony phone update utility softwares.
(download latest softwares from Sony's website - google it )
1) install downloaded Sony update utility software on your computer.
2) here you must tweat your phone before connecting your phone to computer.
a) go to phone's setting > app setting > tick " un known source".
b) at the bottom of settings their is a { } developers option > tick debugging mode.
3) switch off your phone.
4 ) Run Sony software update utility
5) it will ask you to connect your phone
(press volume down button ) while doing so a green light blinks its indicates you are in flash mode means you can flash firmware officially or manually.
6) after connecting phone drivers recognise your phone and software promote you to select the phone model. select yours.
7) and rest of the work will be done by Sony update utility software. all you need is " PATIENCE "
software will download latest firmware and it will automatically install into your phone.
after completion you will guide to disconnect your phone. do as it is.
first boot will take few minutes to settle down in your phone.
now your phone is updated to a new one.
[ if you have rooted your phone dont worry flash it its not a problem ]
[ if you have unlocked boot loader. LOCK IT and then connect your phone ]
[IF YOU HAVE A SOFT BRICKED PHONE LIKE ME,
SONY SOFTWARE UPDATE UTILITY IS AWESOME TO REPAIR IT JUST TRY IT ].
YOU WILL GET A NEW SOUL TO YOUR BROKEN PHONE.
THANK YOU.
easy way to root SONY LIVE WITH WALKMAN 4.0.4 ICS
hi folks after treating my phone to ICS I lost root access. so I had to root it again. since rooting on live with walkman (4.0.4 ) is tough so I searched all guides on xda. I came across many guides but all are very tricky and tough.
some guides require to downgrade firmware.
some require changing kernel.
all these are risky so I searched for easy one.
and finally I got this simple best one click rooting method.
require only 5 minutes.
here is the link.

For clockworkmod use the xparts app from the playstore, it'll install cwm if your phone is rooted
For link to SD search a tutorial please, as I don't know much about it, but I remember there are some good tutorials on how to use it
And yes there are some roms for locked bootloader, check development section for some of them :good:

now friends manuall way for un bricking. + locked boot loader sony live with walkman
hi guys in my previous post I told you about official way of un bricking using sony update utility now its non official way ( manually)
before I start I would like to inform you that, most of the problems arises for any upgradation is in initial stages.
like absence of ABD drivers for sony lww .
some times though you have installed the drivers your phone won't recognise by the computer.
so install sony companion it will install drivers along with your abd drivers.
keep your downloaded drivers file on desktop when computer prompt you to install drivers their will be two options
( |) it will automatically search and install drivers. if it shows no drivers press back button and their will be another option
(||) SELECT FROM SPECIFIC LOCATION.
SELECT it and browse the file LOCATION on the desktop now try to install.
after connection the phone to comp wait few min it will recognise for sure.
Now the tools you require to manually flash firmware are
¤ your dead phone
¤ latest flash tool ( search for flashtool for sony Ericsson)
[flashtool also have drivers give it a try to. LOCATION ( C/FLASHTOOL/DRIVERS) ]
¤ and your firmware (tft) file.
¤ firmware file must be same as your phone's firmware when it got bricked. I mean version must be same.
¤ prepare your phone by ticking unknown source, mtp mode, and usb debug mode.
¤ now place your *tft file in C/FLASHTOOL/FIRMWARE. (make sure it must be empty else it will confuse new users) -
¤ now open installed flash tool connect your phone by holding volume down button.
¤ when your phone get detected by flashtool click flash
¤ it will ask you to flash in flash mode or in fastboot mode, click flash mode.
¤ hold your breath till firmware get installed.
¤ it will re boot
here you go. your phone is alive.
thank you
a bit experience
my phone was bricked when I tried to upgrade it. FROM
gingerbread .62 to ics 4.0.4-
so it happened by my mistake, I removed cable connected to phone in the middle of flashing *tft file.
so make sure cables must be tightly connected at both the ends.
don't repeat what I did.
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
# when I failed in many attempts using flashtool, I used sony software update utility.
# sony update utility is all in one solution to update your phone with latest firmware. and its the best tool to repair your phone at any point of break down.
# when I tried to update my phone using sony update utility
my phone get detected it informed me about latest available firmware to install ( in my bricked phone means in my dead phone ) it was wow. . .
like a ray of hope.
§ I eagerly clicked to update.
§ sony update utility started to download firmware.
§ wow . . .
§ after few min prepared it self to install in my phone.
§ wow . . . wow . .
§ with in seconds installation failed . . .
§ guess why . . .?
¤ ¤ because my phone was in .62 gingerbread.
¤ ¤ ¤ in FLASHTOOL I flashed latest ICS FIRMWARE
¤¤ Which was installed partially in my phone.
¤¤¤ and sony update utility tried to instal the same firmware which I was flashed so got aborted.
§ solution.
I used flashtool again
installed old .62 firmware ( which also got installed partially)
then again connected to sony update utility now it installed ICS successfully.
hope it will help you peoples. . .
click thanks if it helped you
