[Q] HELP ME PLEASE - Sony Live Walman brick - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello everybody, after trying to root my phone in order to eliminate apps pre-branded, my phone doesn't start anymore, black screen.
I tried to use both PC Companion or Flashtool, but the problem is still the same, they are not able to connect to the phone because of the failure to install MTP device driver when I connect phone to pc via usb.
I spend ALL the day trying to solve the problem..
Any help will be appreciated, Marco

Yes I did several times using under drivers directory Flashtool-drivers.exe (even if I'm not sure WHAT drivers I have to chose..). After that the problems still remains , in the device Manager I see that APT Driver is not correctly installed.
Is it possible to download somewhere this driver ?
Any other suggestion, I'm getting crazy :silly:

Why are you trying it with the unbricking ftf? Have you tried flashing the stock rom?
Install Sony Update Service, it should have the drivers, too. Turn phone completely off (pull battery), wait 10 seconds, insert battery, launch flashtool, select the stock ftf for your phone, hit okay, hold volume down (on phone) and while holding it connect phone to pc :good:

Tell me why did your phone brick?

Well, I was trying to root my Sony Ericsson Walman in order to uninstall some app pre loaded by manufacturer. I've flashtooled ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).ftf and after that I'm no more able to switch on my phone, black screen, even if if I remove battery the green led is on.
I tried to unbrick phone using Flashtool, PC Companion, Sony Update Service, BUT the error I have is always the same, when the phone is attached to the computer, the MTP device drivers fails and return RC = 10.

@ mihahn
Could you please what "stock" ftf is and where can I find it in order to try to perform your suggestion ? Thanks again
Marco

I had that exact problem last night.I had usb debugging on,downgraded the kernel and something then switched it off and I couldnt boot the phone.
I think I started pc companion>update > repair >chose my phone,then connected the phone holding back button when asked.
Either that or i used "easy rooting kit"

flash the stock firmware using the latest flash tool. works like a charm

Help me, Issue with flashtool (Flashmode phone auto reboot, identify WT19 as ST17)

I have two questions regarding flashtool. Before connect my phone i enable USB debugging.
When i try to connect my phone in flash mode, after few seconds it automatically reboot to flashmode. When it reboot i can see kernel boot logo. It keep rebooting to the flashmode. In addition to that, when the phone automatically reconnecting, flashtool display "USB debugging off". Why is that?
If i connect my phone after boot (normally), flashtool identify my phone WT19 as "ST17". I try to edit it in flashtool "Device>Edit", but it again identify my phone as "ST17". Why is that?

On which software version are you currently on? Can you flash a wt19i firmware now on your device? Or does this fail/gives you an error?
Did you flash the wrong kernel?
Try reflashing the stock kernel/rom.
Install drivers again for windows

[SOLVED] Help with ST18 bad flash.

Hi
I will try to be brief.
I have a ST18 (which has a bad flash that stops the screen working - if I press power button I can press power off/airplane mode etc but otherwise the screen is unresponsive).
The phone will not go into fastboot mode or be recognised in fb mode in windows (tried 3 different cables and 3 different pcs).
Windows 7 will recognise the phone but will not allow me to install the fb drivers ( I have tried everything, including disabling driver signing and getting windows to ask me what drivers to install).
On an XP machine, I still cannot install fb drivers but PC companion/flashtool/s1tool recognise the phone.
I have tried to work through the advice on here and reflash with various fw with flashtool but it will not fb and flash mode always stops with a security issue at the start of flashing. S1tool stops at the start of flashing with different issues depending on fw such as cannot send s1 command. DoomLord's toolkit does not recognise the phone.
I have tried everything I can find on this forum and on the web but don't want to write pages for you to sift through.
Any pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Can you post your log from flashtool and give some more information, like what you did before the problem started, if your bootloader is unlocked, are you rooted, and if you are on a custom ROM or running stock. If your bootloader is locked, have you tried to use PC Companion or SUS to fix your phone?

Thanks for the quick reply justmpm
Sorry I cannot be too specific - the problem started after the phone was "unlocked" by a mobile shop.
From what I can work out, the bootloader is locked and the phone is not rooted. The phone was updated by SEUS to the latest stock.
I have had various flashtool errors, the latest of these was Read error :31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning. If I try another flash to save the log, would it be a good idea to use a particular fw as different fw give different logs?
Thanks
Any ideas at all would help.
And you have installed the drivers from flashtool -> drivers?

Hi
Yes, installing the flashtool drivers was the only way anything would work. Before that nothing worked which made me think this was more of a driver problem but then it does seem like the phone may be a problem with not being able to go into fastboot.
Thanks
Re: [Q] Help with ST18 bad flash
i think usb debugging is disabled on your phone and the unlocking procedure has your touchscreen firmware corrupted...
did u try repair phone option in SEUS..?
the reason why you got the device is not functioning error is because the usb debugging feature is disabled,not sure though..
can provide me the other errors you encountered in flashtool,maybe i can help you out..

Hi a|\|droid_user
What you are saying makes sense.
S1tool gives me the error
llbug:[\\?\USB#Vid_0fce&Pid_e161#43423531315632314D4C#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}] open error: "The system cannot find the file specified"
Here is my log for flashtool, the first is for the basic Nordic fw pack, which I read worked for other people. The second is for A fw which I think is right for my phone and the next is for B fw. The only one which seems to start to flash is the second one.

Hi alund
Thanks, I have tried different cables and PCs and eventually got one working but not with the standard drivers, only with flashtool and Gordon's gate drivers.
I am not sure if the drivers I have are good or not (I found them on a download site) or if it is a problem with the phone not going into fastboot (so the system not knowing it needs the fb drivers) but when I try to install drivers for fb mode they are not recognised.
Another thing is that, from what was said and from a small mark on the phone, it may have been dropped.
I am still searching for answers but I have still not got any ideas where I need to start.
Does anyone think it is a particular issue (maybe the phone or maybe the pc/drivers)?
Thanks

Not completely solved but I've got the right drivers installed so I'm pretty sure it is a phone problem.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the USB settings of my phone without using the touchscreen (maybe using a pc connection or something)?

Hey you are most welcome buddy.......................:laugh::laugh: i think you have to ggogle about ANDROID COMMANDER may be this will help you to solve your problem best of luck buddy.......................
Solved
Thanks for all of your help.
I downloaded fresh copies of flashtool and drivers and re-installed everything.
As I was setting administrator privileges I noticed that the start menu shortcut was pointing to the 32 bit version not 64.
As my system is 64 bit, I started up the right version and it flashed ok.

Xperia neo Mt15i 4.0.4 4.1.B.0.587 wont enter Flashmode (Flashtool)

Hey ,
I wanted to proceed and root my completely stock xperia neo using this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31159404&postcount=422 . I follow the instructions carefully (debuging , msc, unknown sources etc.). Once in the flashtool I press the flash button select flashmode & the kernel. I turn off the phone , hold the back button and plug in the usb cable. The phone turns on green light shining but black screen. But nothing happens in the flashtool . Here's the log :
22/014/2013 15:14:11 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

22/014/2013 15:14:55 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
I plugged in my usb cable directly on the motherboard, my pc os : windows 7 32bit .I run the newest version of the flashtool and my phone is recognized by windows with no problems & I installed the pc companion.
Any advice on how to get my phone into the flashmode is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
[SOLVED]
You probably didn't install flashtool drivers.
Which you can find in flashtool folder under drivers folder

Pass through the USB slot that the phone uses to the virtual machine, then it will got realised, install the universal naked drivers (you can google it, it is on xda plenty places.) after the installation you can flash the factory ftf with the flashtool. I don't know that in fastboot or flash mode (I think fastboot) but try it. The virtual machine uses designated space, so you need to pass over the necessary files to it.

According to the PC companion on the desktop the problem will be, that you use the original Sony drivers. Use the ones bundled in the flashtool, those are the ones that works. Go into device manager and remove the drivers currently installed (and of course the PC companion). Install the drivers you found bundled with the flashtool (install fastboot, flash, adb scomm and P drivers).
Now retry. I don't remember what combination you must use (I remember volUP+plug in).

This is a virtual PC so you need to pass through the USB each time you plug in-out the device (but you can automate it at the VirtualBox manager when plugged in on win8). If you have an old laptop or anything that can run a winxp and has an usb slot it may be more easy to use it.
It is an other thing, that the phone uses different drivers for fastboot mode, so you need to install them first (boot your phone into fastboot mode, then install the drivers) just after that can you flash the stock ftf.
Or if you want to use custom rom, you only need to flash the necessary kernel, then go into recovery, push the zip of the rom, install, enjoy...

I'm more then sure, that you need to use vol up + plug in USB for blue light for fastboot mode. This is Sony, not SonyEricsson. Those are tha last phones that used flash mode.

so, both volume buttons dont work , you installed all the necessary drivers , you are using windows xp and .... oh ! i think it also has to do with the usb type you are using ( usb 2/3 ) . I once had trouble rooting a phone at usb 3 and then i connected it to usb 2 and it worked !!!! :laugh:
Okay, like 1-2-3
Steb-by-step instructions
1.
Delete anything that is related with the stock Sony things (PC companion and drivers currently installed)
2.
plug in phone, and automatize the USB pass through for the virtual machine at Virtual Machine manager
3.
install the drivers bundled with the flashtool
4.
boot your phone into fastboot mode (volume up and while it is pressed plug the phone into the USB).
For sidenote: you can turn off your phone like this: press vol up + power for 10 secs (until phone vibrates 3, 1 vibe is for restart, 3 is for shutdown). You can only go into fastboot mode when phone is turned off compleatley.
5.
If everything is set up (drivers, fastboot drivers, flashtool, stock ftf) shut down your phone (see above)
6.
start flashtool and go into flash, from the list choose the ftf you have copyed (I hope) to the flastool/firmwares directory, and it will say LT22i at the left column (BEWARE LT22i not LT22a !!!).
7.
click OK then you achieve the screen you posted, but with everithing set up. Press vol up and while doing so, plug in phone.
If you do everithing in the list, then the only thing that could be wrong is the virtual PC (Or you use USB3 instead os USB2 slot).
Enjoy.

Sill, after intaling the semc flash driver my flashtool stuck at INFO - Reading device information. Same result on Windows 8.1 as Windows Xp.
I don't know what else to do. My phone boots gets the green light and the blue one but worthless. Could be the motherboard broked ?

I have one little thing in my mind, that the phone is not BL unlocked, which of course gives the above error. Try BL unlock if the phone is locked (don't know how to see it) but driver error could be the cause also. Virtual PC is not a full PC so anything can happen.
