Guys, I want some help.
I just upgrade my Xperia U using Pc Companion and I got this Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
I tried to Root via Flashtool, via Byn4ry root files and nothing worked.
Can anyone provide me a link where I can root my sweat Phone?
Thanks in advance
To root that firmware you need to first flash B.10 kernel then Root and then again .54 kernel
Flash only Kernel of 6.1.1.B.1.10
Root with Bin4ry V13 (New version doesn't work)
Once rooted, flash only kernel from the .54
Can i flash kernels with locked bootloader?

You need to flash 6.1.1.B.10 in order to root ur phone
1) flash b1.10 kernel via flashtool (dont wipe anything, exclude everthng except kernel)
2) root via flashtool or bin4ry
3) flash 6.1.1.B.54 kernel back

Also I have read posts about using the flash tool and they say check/uncheck certain things but mine are all grayed out? The column on the left displaying the flash file is fine but the content and the other 3 columns are all greyed out? Could I have a dodgy flashtool maybe?

Whenever you manually flash a stock firmware either 2.3 or 4 u have to root it again. Don't flash the whole rom, just flash the b.10 kernel, root using bin4ry, and again flash just .54 kernel.
bin4ry

Unfortunately bin4ry doesn't work for me... it goes through the whole process but at the end it says something like ..
copying files error ( are you rooted? ).
complete.
any ideas how else to do it..

Ok......all done!
In case anybody else is having the same problem this is what i did.
I used bin4ry on my up to date unrooted xperia U. Android version 4.0.4 build 6.1.1.B.1.10.
I was getting errors saying "adb server out of date" but i left it to go to the end anyway.
restarted my phone but when it came to enter my password for my sim card the screen was faded. so i re-flashed the up to date android version again making my phone unrooted again!
then tried bin4ry again and this time it worked without any adb errors and restarted the phone to find that i have superuser app and all is good.
Thanks for previous posts offering help..

Good. You should always check the drivers if they are installed correctly or not.
-Connect your device to PC
-Open Flashtool.
-Goto Help, Check drivers.
-List of ADB devices must be present.
when loading the b 10 kernel into the flashtool,do i also have to put loader sin into the firmware on flashtool aswell?

yeah thanks just need to register... (not pay) i use your 2.3.4 actually.. it give me ability to upgrade in .62 without loosing root... and now "bonus" PCC ask me to upgrade ICS centraleurope version... just all i need with a downgrade :d
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
heres a video on how to :
SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware
...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:
1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.
P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.
3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware
P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK

Agreed with senior. Drivers might not be installed properly, or flashing wrong files. Make sure X10 Brand name exists in flashtool alright.

Bootloader have two types: Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader. Normally Developers will provide 2 version of ROMs to be flashed. Safest flashing for Locked Bootloader is via Xrecovery, while Unlocked Bootloader is Flash FTF Kernel and recommended Recovery. You can check/identify your Bootloader Status and also Simlock Certificate (see whether Suitable to be unlocked bootloader) via S1tool by senior 9luka5
link for S1tool here For more tutorial, you can visit my signature links for PDf guides. Thank you. Cheers

Download the latest version of flashtool v0.9... I think u can unlock bootloader by going to "plugins" tab right next to help....it would show up only if your bootloader is locked... once you unlock then you can flash any kernel you want... remember to backup your existing ROM using recovery before you go around messing with phone

Before I can give you any link I have small question... is your phone rooted? And what version of android you r running ? And if its a custom ROM then what ROM are you using?
BTW you can't flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.. you need to unlock bootloader to flash kernel... kernels are usually ftf files you can download them and flash using flashtool.... different ROMs have different kernel so you need to read instructions on ROM thread you r interested in...

You have soft bricked your phone.. don't worry, download a ROM which you can use for locked bootloader and follow the steps and you should be good to go... to get into flash mode try this.... don't connect your phone but start Seus-> update software-> repair-> software will ask you to get into flash mode so turn off phone by removing battery, connect the phone without battery-> place the battery while holding the back button down and phone will get into flash mode and stock ROM will be flashed...

I have a problem here. I was using nightelf oc kernel with JJ hybrid rom before. Then i decided to switch to KA21.1 latest.
Earlier i had tried to install KA18 and KA19 on my device but dont know why i faced some bugs so i quit it.
To install KA21.1 I first decided to install Official ICS 4.0.4. as a necessity to install KA21.1 device must have any 4.0.4 rom.
I flashed 4.0.4 using flashtool.
then I tried to install superuser. but got errors. I googled the issue and found the solution to install SU and CWM in latest 4.0.4 here .
after that i tried to flash KA21.1 in recovery mod. It was successfully installed and asked to reboot. After reboot device stucked at the Sony logo.
I re-tried the whole procedure from the beginning hoping I must have done some mistake. But the result was as it was.
Then I tried to repair my phone and update it through PCC. But at the end of its second step (2. Prepare), I got en error " Installation error - Unable to install or start phone software update components."
I again googled the problem and saw that SUS was helpful for some people who faced same problem. Then I tried SUS too. But It was also waste. SUS crashes after asking me to select my device.
Please Help. I just wanted to go for an light and fast rom.
Any suggestions/help is welcome. i wanted my phone working again.

1) depends how you unlocked your BL.
If official, then it won't work, if unofficial, then it will work but..
2) reinstall of pcc won't help because its not problem in your installation, but in connection to Sony's servers. But no harm in trying
But you do need to reinstall seus as you said it crashed even when selecting device (you mean from phone list?).

you already had an unlocked bootloader so why didn't you install a compatible ics 4.0.4 kernel with root and cwm. After that flash sonys 4.0.4 ics via ftf file and you are done. You got you base to install that ka21.1 rom. That doesn't work?

There is not any "sin" in doing this. I have tried this many times. The thing is that whenever someone gets its phone stuck somewhere, he tries everything to get back his phone in working condition. I have even updated my phone using sus with "unlocked" bootloader !!!

Tried fixing it by using pc companion but was no use as it was showing some sort of an error . Mine is an unlocked bootloader. Please help me ASAP

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

I flashed and rooted my thing successfully. I tried to flash the one in this thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065116 .And i tried flashing it with some other kernel but was in vain
did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
if yes, then you might need to flash your stock rom....(i may be wrong on this one)
Did you do the correct wipes?? Also I hope that you didn't wiped the system.....
Press THANKS if I helped,
Regards,
Abhinav

I flashed it with the stock rom again but the problem still persists
This is called bootloop... Just use flashtool to flash stock kernel.. No other way..

Thanks it worked . But whenever i am trying to flash it with some other rom i am being stuck at the sony screen only. I am unable to use any other rom except the stock rom
To flash any other rom use CWM not flastool.. The complete procedure is:
Go to cwm wipe cache, factory reset, format sysrem, wipe delvin than locate zip via sd card install zip of u stock rom... Njoy...

Are you sure you unlocked the bootloader properly ? Remember me when I did not unlocked it and tried to flash Cm10.
Or else: do you have the right kernel for the right rom ?
Hello friends,
I recently flashed stock Asia(India) .54 firmware and also relocked my BL but now I would like to root it but the binary method is not working for me. How to get root? I also did another method but I am failed to flashed. .10 is not flashing correctly whenever I try to flash this, it shows flashed successfully but when checked the version remains same ie .54.
I also have another problem that, when I connect to timescape or IM+ the internal facebook dialogue box is not opening and its asking to choose browser. Please help me

To gain you root you need to flash .10 kernel, using flashtool.
Then try either flashtool method or Bin4ry method to root !

Well, follow this-

It's really helpful. You need to flash the kernel first and then the ROM and then root. The guide above has all the links and steps. I rooted my Xperia P using this only.
