Hello to you all. I have a bit strange problem wich i cant find solution,so if someone could please help me?
When i try to connect my phone to 2g only it just loose signal and starts rebooting endless. Then i need to pool out sim card and switch to wcdma only and than is ok! If i put wcdma pref /gms it is working but when loss of 3g signal,it reboots and goes back on 3g. So if im in loss of 3g my phone is usselles! It only happens when trying to connect to 2g! I tryed everything but it wont stuck on 2g. I searched forum over and over before posting,but could not find this particular problem! 3g or wcdma works fine! Please someone? Thank you.
Just one thing to add if i update to ics and set to 2g only then there is no continuos reboot,and no need to take out sim, then just reboots once and goes back to 3g automaticly newhereless that it was only 2g set. What is happening here?

Is your bootloader locked and are you on stock rom? If yes, bring it to a local service center or send it to service :good:
So you dont think it has any firmware or software issue? What could be wrong with the hardware? Any suggestions?

It could be a software issue, but not on stock rom/kernel, so if you are on stock, send it to service (if it's under warranty)
Pfff...it is not udner wrnt. And yes,stock rom and kernel. Thank you. If it's something with the motherboard what should i do? Throw it away?

Okay, if it's not under warranty, flash for example gb stock ftf with flashtool, if this won't work, unlock the bootloader (if you have no warranty like you said), flash a custom kernel and a custom rom
Just one more question and i wont bother you anny more! Which custom rom would you suggest to me,that is stable and also not battery eater because im on 3g all the time as you know and that is bad enough! Thank you for your answers and for taking time trying to help me!

I would use a MIUI rom -> great functions and fast, but on unlocked bootloader (if you want to unlock) you could use cyanogenmod (9 for example) :good:
So just to resume and not tu bother you any more. If i am runing 4.0.2.A.062 with unlocked bootloader and custom kernel and rom, i just download miui rom and flash it with flashtool? No need for custom kernel to download or it is included with miui rom download? Sorry for all these questions,but you were only bothering to answer me so i have to ask you

No, it's more complicated. For MIUI you needn't unlock your bootloader.
1. Root your device (how to is in the sticked rooting guide)
2. For an ics custom rom keep root to ics (how to upgrade to ics and keep rooted is in the rooting guide, too), for gb custom rom stay on gingerbread
3. You can just find a MIUI rom for locked bootloader and copy the zip to your sd card.
4. Install clockworkmod recovery (cwm) with an app like xparts (xperia parts) from playstore
5. Boot in cwm, go to backup/restore -> backup and it will backup everything (system, data, cache, only sd card won't be saved)
6. Wipe data/Factory reset
7. install zip from sd card -> choose zip -> miui.xxx.zip -> yes, install it
8. Reboot
Everything is explained in the sticked threads and in the guide how to install custom roms/kernels in my signature.
Just ask if you have questions, we like to help you, there are no silly questions (only if they are so easy to answer)

Hi Guys n Gals.
So i just unlocked my bootloader, at least i believe so..(no sony text anymore)
But i used a fresh 2.3.3 stock rom to do it. Now i have 2 questions..
1) can i "restore" my Z's cm7 rom just as usual via recovery/will this affect (or be affected by) the bootloader unlock?
2) Can i continue with flashing/installing new roms etc.. just as before?
Sorry, but i don't know and searching gave me no clue!!!

Judging from what I read in the forums,
1) Yes
2) Yes.
The bootloader is PERMANENTLY unlocked,
nothing you could do can re-lock it.
So... happy flashing and restoring!! LOL!

so far doom has come out with a kernel for unlocked BL... so I'd say its presumably safe to use atm. As for the rest custom kernels, please wait... we don't want a brick sitting in our hands now. Do we?!
You can do anything with your phones, exactly like before the unlock.
It will remain unlocked permanently.
You can flash all the zips in the world, the bootloader will still be unlocked.
I, for one, use goro's kernel at the moment, exactly as I did before.
My impression, we can treat the new ftf.kernels as directly replacing the original stock kernel. Therefor no need to use bypass at all. Can someone confirm this please?
Thanks.

Hi there all! And happy new year!!!
Couple of questions,
First, Zoner antivirus found this the exploits, should i be worried?
1: File is infected: exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G -sdcard/bluetooth/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
I removed the app, scan, removed
2: App is infected: Exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G com.caspian.android.removal
Phone is rooted by Superoneclick
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Second question, if i upgrade to .62, will the phone still be rooted?
And finally, any use of lookout antivirus? Cus it did not seem to find any exploit, but Zoner did.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012! )

Did your device rooted? Try to install cwm recovery, then format system, format data, format cache, format sd card, dont reboot your phone, select mount sd card, then put one of the custom ROM (ex, SE Tweaked) to your sd card, unmount, then flash the rom, reboot.
If your bootloader was unlocked, i recommend you to flash inteks or doomkernel first, cause it has built in cwm recovery, so you dont have to worried if flashing doesnt work.
Use it with your own risk.
Let me know if its help.

It seems to me that he/she is NOT alone, it maybe a bug from Google or SE, please a couple of days to see if it works again. I got a lesson, upgraded it to .62 fw, flash it back to .58, rooted again, installed ROM Manager, upgraded back to .62 to let Market works till now.
I spent one whole night to overcome the problem, you may wish to wait for a while.
Thanks for replies.
I'm currently on 62 firmware, unrooted.
And all settings are correct.
I also recently clearing all caches app,
but still the same.
I'll try to reset later, if not work,
then i'll try to unlock BL n flash other ROM.

Without rooting it, you may still wish to do you yourself an experiment to download ROM Manager in order to get the OTA , to see if it works by Wifi. Remove that manager afterward. It won't harm, will it?

In short i have updated phone from gb 6.0.B.1.564 to Ics 6.1.1.C.1.0 via pcc and it is from then acting very poorly in comparison to before, very laggy and slow in general. What id like to know now is what is best to do? I have heard there is some new latest firmware released for xu ics, is it possible for me to get that, and is it improved a bit performance? If nothing, can someone pls point me how to downgrade back to gb, or maybe suggest something else? Just so you know, my phone is not rooted and it has locked bootloader.

I know about the update you mentioned, but there seems to be even more new then that 6.1.1.b1.100. In any case how can i upgrade to those, be it new or older firmware? They are not listed in pcc, it sais its up to date with this last one i did. Thank you again for help.

To get a real lag reduction and battery drain issue, I suggest you to root atleast (without unlocking your boot loader which does not void your warranty).
For that you need flashtools from there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933985
However, B.1.100 is slightly better than the previous version
So to try that, flash it with flashtools, you can find the download link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430
You do not require root to flash Sony stock ROMs.
Another better alternative is to flash custom ROMs for locked bootloader,
My personal suggest, go for SlimCM ROM, pretty stable and snappier.

So in essence i can flash newest stock B.1.100 without root, and not losing the waranty (subquestion only unlocking the bootloader voids waranty, but root no? I am asking this cos i do seem to remember but i might be wrong that root can also void it, and i wanna be sure . But if i decide to go for custom ROM which you suggested do i need root for that? With root i can remove loads of stuff which i cannot do now, so thats why the lag is much lesser?

Yes you can attain root access without unlocking your boot loader.
Use flashtool method or Bin4ry's method.
Again yes, you can flash SONY STOCK fw using flashtools (without root or unlocking) in flashmode (just keep in mind to "exclude TA")
Once you are rooted you can install apps such as greenify that really helps to last the battery longer.
Also you could remove the bloatware and other useless apps.
Or you even you can make choices to install Custom ROMs for locked bootloaders. Just check the development section.
This is my personal suggest: SlimCM ROM.
Though its CM9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143750
See the instructions for locked boot loaders.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
To root fw C.1.0 or any later versions, you need to
-flash the kernel alone of B.1.0.
-follow root procedure by flashtool or Bin4ry method.
-Then flash back the corresponding kernel of the ROM.

Ty for all the suggestions. I rly appreciate it. Think i will go for what u suggested first, slimCM. I checked it and it looks nice.. Althou some things are not so clear to me. In both instructions, for slimCM and in patch for locked bootloader it says wipe data or factory reset in recovery. What is recovery? And it also mentions to do the backup of my current ROM. How shall i do that. Wipe data and factory reset means all data gone from phone so i should backup at least photos, music and sms-es to my pc or some app.

That's where you can find recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020897
CWM recovery is required to flash custom ROMs or MODs etc.
You can find the wipe data, cache options in the recovery menu. Just back up your contacts, messages and things.
Nothing from SD card will be lost.
Do carefully patch the ROM as per the instructions to make it into locked bootloader.
Copy that zip file in SD card and enter CWM recovery
-flash ROM
Done !

Hello. This is my first post here so forgive me if i done or post it wrong.
In short i have updated phone from gb 6.0.B.1.564 to Ics 6.1.1.C.1.0 via pcc and it is from then acting very poorly in comparison to before, very laggy and slow in general. What id like to know now is what is best to do? I have heard there is some new latest firmware released for xu ics, is it possible for me to get that, and is it improved a bit performance? If nothing, can someone pls point me how to downgrade back to gb, or maybe suggest something else? Just so you know, my phone is not rooted and it has locked bootloader.
Thank you all in advance

So i have backed up all the data (music, photos etc) on the pc. Tomorrow i will get on doing what you guys suggested. So to get it all confirmed, first do the root with flashtool, checkin superuser and rootme, and then i will be rooted. Then cwm recovery install, then applying the patch for locked bootloader for slimCM ROM, then i go back in cwm, make backup of current ROM and then wipe data, and then flash the rom.. That be the order? Is there any thing i should take special care of?

I had a little problems. It wouldnt let me install the flashtool drivers. Probably cos i was doing it on laptop on win8. Will try it at home on win7.

Remember install flashtool while your anti-virus is disable...!

I did that. But what i wanted to say i get error during the instalation of drivers. Flashtool alone was installed corectly.

It will be lot better if you try it with Win 7 as Win 8 + Flashtool drivers don't go well together as 8 allows only signed drivers to get installed.
Though there's a thread on how to install Flashtool drivers on win 8.

Hello all. I managed to install drivers. The fix for win8 worked. I started root in flashtool, done all that i was told to but it isnt rooted. Log says Root hack did not work. Any ideas? Cheers again for all the help

Here's the Rooting Process for you.
This Rooting guide applies to all FW versions above B.1.10. (i.e. B.1.54/C.1.0/B.1.75/B.1.189/B.1.100)
1) Open Flashtool.
2) Click the Flash icon.
3) Select Flash Mode. (Make sure USB Debugging is ON in your Mobile Settings before connecting to PC)
4) Select & Flash the B.1.10 kernel. Then Reboot.
5) Select the Un-Lock icon and choose your preferred SU app & proceed.
6) Follow the on-screen instructions.
7) Now you have rooted your device.
8) Flash the kernel of your respective FW from the FTF file through Flash Mode and let the device reboot.
