Hi all, thanks and sorry if I am too noob. I am looking for solution for 2 hours and I cant find, maybe anyone can help me
I have Sola MT27i and I was trying to update to ICS and root my Xperia Sola for hours. I updated with Sony Companion and then I found the thread for root with Flashtool mode (flash to 6.1.1.B.1.10 with Flashtool, root using Bin4ry's method, then flash to 6.1.1.B.1.54), then I instaled CWM and I was trying now install a rom. It seems easy, and I did it last summer in my Geeksphone, but after various errors installing roms copied in externalSD as "installation aborted. Status: 7" I did the step 4 of this tutorial (enter in mounts and format system)and my Sola now only show SONY!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960590
"IF COMING FROM SOME OTHER ROM, make factory wipe then go into mounts/storage and format system (not needed if updating AOKP)"
I have tried all I find and I cant restore. I cant enter in CWM, I am flashing with MT27i_relock_bootloader.ftf and Flashtool and phone only show SONY after flash...
Please help
Ty for all
Sorry my bad english
Flash stock ics ftf

Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).
Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue )
Solution:
Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.
Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.

Hi
If you follow the forum you will find some posts of me trying to have last fw .62 rooted with CWM working. Even if some users can do it by OTA, other by other process I never have total success but like most of you…I simple wont to have last fw .62 working, rooted and with CWM also working. The best I get was .62fw rooted but without CWM working and if install fw.62 by the traditional way I just get SE logo and have to flash it again.
After several times I finally have it work…
The only thing I have so far is that I believe I flash what I think is last baseband and after I flash it my computer says I have a new fw to install!!
This process is using pieces of ideas from others so I just get a way of put all together and have it working for me and decide to share with you.
Like always you can try it at your own responsibility.
Fist you should have .42 fw installed.
Root it.
Install CWM XPERIA from market (not the traditional way)
Download this and put it on your SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...tloaderlock/generic/generic620.2.zip/download
Reboot NEO on CWM and install the file.
Reboot your phone and install the previous downloaded file.
At this time you have fw .62 without kernel.
Reboot your phone again and again go to the icon of CWM and reinstall again CWM.
Put you phone off again and flash just the .62 kernel. You can use .62 complete fw and choose only to install kernel.
At this point you should have .62 fw with .62 kernel.
On my case I install CWM again just in case.
If you reboot and press down volume you will have access to CWM.
I flash what I read that was last baseband using this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?tfd8bdbdrcd4bpq (after that my computer advice me to update phone…don´t know way)
For those that consider my guide too nooby…guys was the only way I found…sorry.
For those that somehow contribute with links to have it compiled I thank them.

Hi,
First of i want to say that i am not from Ray section, i own a Xperia S, but my sister has Xperia Ray, i upgraded her phone from GB. to ICS (4.1.B.0.587) but didn't know how to root it, after searching i found this on Arc section. i tried it and seems to work on Ray too. So here it goes. And i take no credit for this work, all credit goes to the makers.. And i don't know if this was posted here before but if so MODs. can delete it.
This tutorial is for 4.1.B.0.587 only!
1) flash this via flashtool : ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf http://www.mediafire.com/?gbs29dw3tzx765k (thanks to zstoichev)
OBS : you might get errors after the reboot, don't worry, this is normal and step 3 will fix that.
2) Root your Ray with DooMLoRD's tool:
Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings. Before you open the .bat file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
3) Flash the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel via. flashtool

4) Your done..

Thank you. I assume, it's also ok if the Xperia Ray is on stock ICS 4.0.4_4.1.B.0.587 already before starting your guide?

yea, it is ok.
Can you please upload just striped-down verisions of both kernels 4.0.3 (562) & 4.0.4 (587) (only *.sin files packed in ftf file)? In this case there is no need to DL 200+MB files wor me (already on ICS 4.0.4_4.1.B.0.587) so I only need kernel files in ftf not the whole ROM).
Thank you!

I think if you read the first post, you will see that i have posted two links, with instruction. The first one is (.562 kernal only), and the second one is (587 kernal only)... Hope that helps.

Yes it was, but only one of them, the new FW, and i uploaded only the kernal afterwards, when you asked.

Could not flash 587 kernel
Hi, I've run into a problem that's just been driving me crazy.
I've essentially been able to flash into build 562, and then run the root (which works), but when I try to flash to the 587 kernel, I keep checking my version and it always says 4.0.3 build 562 (paraphrasing here).
I've converted the 587 kernel.sin file into an ftf and ran it, but still it does not work.
Can I get some help please?
I'm probably newbing out on something, but everywhere I search people keep saying "flash to 587 kernel" but there was barely any information on what to do with the .sin files after I got them. I just want to confirm that I simply bundle them up using flashtool and flash that file right? but that doesnt work.
Phone is xperia ray st18a, bootloader is locked on Rogers.
Thanks for any help.
I also wanted to add, for flashing the kernel, i've tried using fastboot(adb) but could not select the kernel yet.
My attempts are flashing with a full 587 build but excluding everything but the kernel, and not wiping any data, I am still stuck at 562.

you could always flash back the stock ROM incase of softbricks............. you mentioned that you are using GB butr the build number (6.1.1.B.1.54) is i guess of ICS latest firmware.......... so first confrm which version are you running.,,,,,,,,,,
For FXP you will have to flash ICS first (i guess) and then install the CWM followed by FXP CM9.1..................

Thanks, using Mac here, but I'm glad to find out that Sony FINALLY provided an interface for Mac users ("Sony Bridge for Mac"), so I did the regular upgrade to ICS w/.54.

just requested for the change of name.........
So I want to install a custom firmware, but this is my first phone with a locked bootloader so if you'd review what I've gathered about the subject and correct it, it would be grand (I've already flashed a different stock firmware and rooted it btw, but that as far as I've wanted to get until now).
I want to flash JB eXperience 2, and from what I can see this would be the steps:
Load up the rom in the SD storage.
Install a stock b 1.54 rom like this one with flashtool.
Root the rom using flashtool (I'm also unsure abuot this step, saw some weird stuff about rooting this version).
Install this particular CWM with the included bat (this is the bit that makes me a bit uneasy).
Load CWM and flash the custom firmware.
I'm asking because I've read stuff about replacing the B 1.54 kernel by the one on B 1.10 and stuff like that, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and also, the experience howto is made for unlocked phones so I'm a bit unsure and I'd really rather ask than have my phone bricked
thanks!
Do this
Flash B.54
Flash B.10 kernel
Root
Flash B.54 kernel
Install cwm
boot into cwm
flash the rom
reboot
thats it
simple

Hi,
I have tried the binary's method but it didn't work either. I've been looking all over the xperia u forum's but I didn't find a solution...
It appears a message saying:
"mount: permission denied (are you root?)"
I am on FW 6.1.1.B.1.54. I also tried to flash it to kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10 but it also appear a message saying "ERROR: Aborted" on flashtool.
It's an Xperia U ICS 4.0.4 Vodafone PT with bootloader locked. Thanks a lot

Try this........ Link
See the quote in the thread.....
I have trying to flash the kernel to have the 6.1.1.B.1.10 FW installed, but I'm not able to do it through flashtools... It appeared an ERROR message after pressing the vol - button and connecting it to cell...
Anyway thanks for the help!
Edit: could the problems be because of windows 8? I mean, does flashtool works fine with windows 8? Thanks..

win 8 should not be a problem if u have drivers installed. which version of flashtool u r using.
I'm using the last one: 0.9.10.1 64bits.
I think I have the drivers since when I connect the device, windows asks what do I want to dowith Xperia U. It also works with PCC. But when I used flashtool and I put the device in flash mode, when I connect, it appears a pop up saying windows doesn't recognize the device.
Is this normal?

u installed drivers in, <installation path>:\Flashtool\drivers, goto the bottom when it starts and install flashmode and fastboot drivers too
Yes, I installed the drives on that folder you pointed.
But the fastboot drivers I think I didn't... How can I do that?

The kernels where a bit of a pain in the ass to find by their own though.

I did that but still din't worked.
BTW
What do you mean root by restore method can you elaborate?
If nothing works
Simply unlock the bootloader and flash pre rooted kernel.

have you tried rooting your phone using flashtool?
Flashtool > Device name (e.g My Mt27) > Root

I think you just need to persevere. I took me about 4 hours to get my Sony Sola to root with the above instructions, really hard work as the phone is nigh on unusable after flashing with 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
First Time I did it every thing seemed to go fine, I selected the backup on the Sola as promoted by Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry and restarted, then re flashed with 6.1.1.B.1.54 but it wasn't rooted.
I did it all again, but for the next few hours the backup restore would not appear on my phone screen, I would just get a black screen and occasionally i would be able to power off (i say occasionally as after flashing with 10, hardly anything works on the phone, and the touch screen never works), other times i had to use the volume done button and power button to re-start the phone, then would have to get it to start up without booting - just going into the charge screen - so i could eventually power it down to re-flash with 54!
Any way after doing the process over, and over again for about 4 hours, i gave up. Tried again the next morning and it worked first time! I didn't even have to select to restore the back up, or power off on the phone, it all seemed to do it for me!
Just keep trying hopefully you will get there.:good:
1.Try to reflash whole ICS ftf,around 500MB.Means install ICS again,or repair your phone using Sony PC Companion
2.After finish, download these three things http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029756
3.Go to computer/local disk c/flashtool,then drivers,install drivers,choose Xperia P,U,sola drivers and fastboot,flashmode
4.After finished installing drivers reboot your computer
5.After reboot flash .10 firmware using flashtool
6.Root using Bin4ry's method
7.You should see Supersu app in app drawer
7.At last flash .54 firmware
8.Done. :laugh:
Hope this method help.
