[Q] Unable to flash kernel - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to flash the Ferakernel for quite a long time now. But whenever I try to, there's always some kind of error. I've tried it on Windows and Ubuntu.
On Ubuntu, I'm getting this log on flashtool :

My bootloader is unlocked...current configuration is CM7-ZMOD with doomkernel, the one for unlocked bootloaders medium overclock..I tried flashing ferakernel ics, both versions and scritch kernel ics...I'm getting that log

In log, 3rd from bottom state usb debugging is off. Did you forget to turn it on?

No, it was on. I check that every time I try to flash. I guess that's some sort of bug with flashtool or something
.

Before u switch from a port to a build just revert to stock using pc companion.. don't worry this won't relock ur bootloader just revert to stock, root, flash kernel n then from recovery flash the ROM.. ull hv to flash a cm9 ROM. z's ROM wont work with ferakernel ics. Ferakernel ics is cm9 based..

But the thing is, I can't flash a different kernel...does flashing kernels really depend upon the current firmware of the phone?

Sometimes the firmware changes the build.prop
This file gives the phone its model number, model name, etc. If these r changed to show something else ur PC may not find appropriate drivers for ur device. Hence revert to stock if ur using a port. Builds generally retain default model names.
revert to stock before trying to flash next. Then connect ur phone in flash mode before doing netn in flashtool. Windows will detect ur phone n install drivers. Then flash the kernel. it well definitely work
Don't forget to put the ROM zip on ur SD card before doing ne of this tho. Coz stock ROM won't boot with an ICS kernel

should I go back to THE stock rom by Sony Ericsson or is it enough if I revert to any stock-based rom like DonutHD? I have tried flashing under DonutHD, but I had an error there too...but that error read something about no drivers existing, even though I had installed the drivers from the flashtool main folder...

Preferable to go back to Sony stock firmware. At least that's what devs here say.. I don't know why..

[Q] Flashtool flashing freezes

Hey,
I've got an Xperia Neo V
I'm trying to flash new firmware. I'm using flashtool 0.7.0.0 and it always get stuck at some level. Sometimes at 0% and sometimes at 70%. I've been waiting like half an hour, so don't tell me it takes more time. I can't submit a screenshot of this because I'm a new user.
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate 32bit. My neo V is rooted and unlocked. I had custom rom on the phone before but now the installation progress freezes and I can't even boot the phone or get into clockworkmod mode. If I press the power button I can feel the vibration what neo v makes when booting but screen stays black.
1)Does anyone know the solution for this freeze problem with flashtool?
2)Does anyone know how to make my neo V to turn on?
Here's the log

Problem solved. Tried with another pc and all worked perfectly. I can boot my phone now.

help me fix a bricked X10

my friend got a x10, used it for a few days and said that it was unstable so i suggested him to upgrade from stock rom (he had 1.6)
after upgrading without the full wipe, it never worked stable again, and now we cannot turn it on at all. sometimes it turns on, shows SE logo and shuts down.
i'm a bit more comfortable with android (have a x8) so i said i'll try to fix it.
i tried updating it with PC companion, and now in progress with SEUS. strange thing SEUS said i have the recent software aboard.
this time, i tried entering recovery mode to wipe out everything, and it didnt let me in
edit: i removed the sd card and started updating. after finishing it said that installation is not succesful, and i should reload the battery and then try again.
battery was charging minimum 3 hours before this attempt and went to 14%, i will leave it till tommorow evening and then try again
edit2: when i connect it to a charger, green led flashes for a minute and then turns off, without reflashing again, so i think we have a charger problem aswell...
you can't access to recovery because it's NOT installed,
you should flash any 2.3 kernel from our Dev's Forum, install a version of GB 2.3.3 Stock, and you'll be able to root it then flash xrecovery in flashtool

No. Do You have USB debugging enabled? You could try to install xrecovery via flashtool, maybe this would work if flashing ROM doesn't

sure, i use both charger and usb cable on my x8 constantly and without problems
for pc, i use a stable win7 installation with normal auto detection on every device ever plugged in.
issue here is that when i connect the phone to usb cable to the pc, most of the times i get nothing.
when i'm in luck, i can get it to be ok for few minutes and in that occasion i flashed original rom over SEUS, and it stopped at 99%.
i cant flash recovery because when i do get it seen on the pc, i only get the flash option on flashtool

do the following steps, i doubt the driver mess in Win7 is causing issue;
When i came accross the issue it was causing by SEUS driver conflict with Flashtool driver. So first i removed everything flashtool, PC companion, Update service etc from my pc and reboot the system. Then i installed the latest flashtool version. Once the flashtool is setup go to driver folder of flashtool run driver installer and select X10ADB driver and second last flashmode driver. Reboot the system once the driver is done.
Now try plugging your device again.
What was the last status of your device? was it with LockedBL or unlocked BL?

i did that and still nothing...
when i was without drivers, pc didnt recognize the "connected device"
i immediately unplugged the phone and installed x10 drivers like you said. after that comes the restart and after restart you have the log..
assuming that drivers are ok, what else can it be?
edit: again connected and started flashtool, no point... nothing is moving

Launch flash tool and check for drivers under help tab... if drivers are not installed then browse to flash tool folder and under driver sub folder there are drivers required, you should install them.. then down load the latest firm from the forum(.ftf format)9 and flash it using flash tool. You will be in a unrooted stock firmware.. after this if you want then root and flash different kernels and ROMs ..

Listen whether your X10 is rooted/unrooted/bricked or not it will get into lash mode very easily... so try the following
1) launch flash tool
2) click on flash and select a stock gingerbread 2.3.3.ftf
3) remove your phones battery and plug the phone cable into laptop
4) now place the battery while holding down the back button and you will get into flash mode and the flash tool will flash the stock ROM...
I'm telling you because I have bricked my phone all and every way possible and i have unbricked it ever time... so try it look into some videos about unbricking..
If you are still unable and you leave in USA then send it to me I can unbrick and root it and will send you back...
PS: everything is blacked out in flash tool because phone is not rooted or drivers not being recognized... give it a shot...

[Q] clockwork recovery

Hi guys!
I tried to put a new rom on my wife phone.
It`s doesn`t working and I can`t go into clockwork recovery mode
I don`t know the version of the installed Clockwork recovery.
I tried to push back continually and just push and release and so on....
Any idea?
The only what I see is the Sony Ericsson logo...
Thx.
Phone model? Bootloader unlocked? What kernel?

Well...
I don`t know what kernel is. I did used the Clocwork Recovery on it earlier so I think Bootloader unlocked.
I think I just cant figure out what button (buttons) do I need to press or hold during boot-time.

Clockwork mod can be flashed on bootloader unlocked phones too. Any ways, about the buttons, press power and release it . Once the screen get's brighter at the Sony logo keep pressing the VOLUME DOWN button repeatedly to get into cwm for 2011 xperia phones.

Well I did it thank you. Finally I used SEUS and get back the control. Thx again!

1st of all, to enter CWM is by pressing volume down or power button when the screen getting brighter, depend on what kernel u r using.
CWM can be installed in unlocked or locked bootloader (in custom kernel has already CWM built in so no need to install it)
in the flashtool log we can see that
- usb debugging not selected
- u r flashing the wrong ftf (r u sure ur device is x10?) coz u r trying to relock ur bootloader with x10 ftf (ur bootloader unlocked?)
- flashtool cancel flashing to prevent bricking
so make sure u have the ftf file exactly for ur device if u want to flash stock firmware via flashtool

[Q] x10 flashing help!!!!!

I rooted my phone last year when it died. The green light comes on & it vibrated but just wont come on.
After reading about it I tried using pc companion &SEUS both of which no joy. Then I was reading about flashing & as I read you cant brick these phones, I had a go at doing it.
I didnt have a clue which FTF's I needed to download, so I just downloaded some of them & worked my way through trying them all.
I am getting this log & havent got a clue where i am going wrong. I have read post after post & loads of videos.
PLEASE HELP ME, ive been trying now for the last 3 days.
Thank you

I think it's best if you unlock your boot loader, ever since I unlocked my x10's boot loader, I didn't have any problems with flashing firmwares or custom kernels. try it!

St15i continuously rebooting

Hi guys
My friend has a xperia mini st15i.He rooted it a long time ago using e-root.
Now he did something wrong and he is unable to turn on his phone
When he turn on his phone,first the sony logo appears and then the xperia logo and then the phone turns off. It again starts with the sony logo, xperia logo and so on
I am not so familiar with sony devices..i think pressing volume down at the startup takes it to recovery mode but its not working
I tried flashing a stock firmware using flashtool..but i am always getting some error
