Hi,
I am a newbie so i hope i am following policies of this Forum.
Problem Statement ::crying:
I am not able to repair my xperia mini as i used to do earlier using my PC Companion
What is that i did which caused this ? :silly:
I usually keep trying new things in my phone so, I did..
Unlocked My BOOT Loader from SE Site
rooted my mobile, Installed CM 10
was not happy with some features, so wanted to go back to stock rom
some how flashed stock rom using flash tool, re locked boot loader using sdk
What I tried to repair from PC Companion ? :fingers-crossed:
Changed laptops where PC Companion was installed
re-installed PC Companion
tried with SONY UPDATE SERVICE
So can some one Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Help me in making any fixes ( like kernel or file changes), so that pc companion recognizes as my correct software and repair it and make my software brand new....
Hmmm... maybe a suggestion. I first install the unbranded version with flashtool and with Sony Update Service I repair the phone. Usually it works.

Hey man you are not supposed to use android sdk to relock your bootloader. There is a relocking ftf which has to be flashed. First flash stock ics, then flash the relocking ftf and reflash the stock ics rom
Then you will be able to update via SEUS or PC COMPANION.

It seems your phone did not re-locked bootloader sucessful. To make sure that your phone is LOCKED after re-locked, you should press the secret series to check the bootloaded status.
Just follow this.

MAn you made a huge error by using pcc, after unlocking your bootloader , sony tells you that do not use pcc and seus or ota updates as they may harm your device, even i do not know how pcc recognized your device, and with custom roms it is even harder to solve, however please can you tell me if cm10 is smooth enough?? anyway here is the solutiuon:1)if you have cwm try flashing a custom rom if a custom rom is available on your sd card or try formating your device. 2) flash the official ics .587 by using the flashtool :http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38251 , if the drivers are not available for you to use the flashtool , go to help in the flashtool and hit drivers, and to let your device boot in flashmode ( your device should be off, a green light from your LED light should appear after booting to the flashmode) please hold the volume down button while connecting your device to the usb, to flash the ftf of .587 please click on the first button on the left and choose flashmode, then choose the ftf and flash it P.S: I am a newbie but not a noob, I helped a lot of people on sony forums and on gsmarena and other forums, if I helped you please hit thanks

Be sure that you choose the .587 not the .431 from uliwooly's links and if the flashtool shows you errors please try using the flashtool64 ( available in the flashtool folder), you have also another choice, download a new custom rom, use the flashtool in fast boot mode ( hold the volume up button while connecting to the USB connection) and flash the new custom rom , then try flashing the stock rom by flashtool if it doesn't flash it well on your current rom

So i have spent 4 days page to page wondering how to root my android phone
xperia mini pro sk17i
so far, i gathered info that the best and efficient rooting technique is DoomLord's Rooting Toolkit..3 cheers to doomlord!
unfortunately for me it wont work coz i updated my firmware to .62..now i know i have to flash a previous FW to either .58 or .42 in order to use DoomLord's kit
I searched for flashing techniques as well, but i couldn't find the procedure to flash or rather the ones which i came across didn't work for all
Could any1 be kind nuf as to help out a noobie such as me and others who have the same problem as me!!

flashing is really simple and it took me just 15 minutes a few hours ago to flash .58 fw.
so here it goes.
first, you need to download .58 fw here http://depositfiles.com/files/1inil87p7
then download flashtool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
after you downloaded both of that, install the flashtool to your computer. then put the .58 fw that you just downloaded to c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares
means that i recommend to save flashtool on c:/program files.
after you have done that. backup all needed things such as maybe your messages, contacts or maybe apk files using super backup for both messages and contacts and titanium for backing up apk.
after you done that, open flashtool, connect your devices to the computer using usb cable, then flashtool will automatically recognises your phone it will say 'connected devices: SK17'.
then click on the flash thunder icon and choose flashmod, then you will see the .58 fw that you just downloaded earlier. then i recommend you to leave wipe data and cache checked or maybe up to you. because last time i unchecked wipe data and cache i cant root my phone after so thats why i ask u to backup things. and press ok. wait like 1 minute then it will ask you to unplug usb cable, switch off your phone. while your phone switched off, hold down the volume button, plug in devices using usb cable to your computer and power on your device, then you will see flashtool will start flashing.
after flashing is done, unplug the usb cable and switch on your phone then BOOM! you are now on .58 fw. then just simply root it using doomlord zergrush method and thats it.
if you a little bit confuse just follow these steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
You can use flashtool: http://androxyde.github.com/ (PM me if you can't download).
I would suggest you to jump on FreeXperia mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226715 as it is way better than stock, and it makes your phone rooted. Hovewer, you need unlock your bootloader.
Thnx a ton for rplying both of you!

i havent unlocked my bootloader so i cant help with you that
goodluck!
oh, benefits of unlocking bootloader is that you can use custom roms and custom kernels, you can even flash custom kernel that can root .62 im not sure check it out somewhere on android development section.
and afaik, if you unlock bootloader you will not get any official updates from se such as in the future the ice cream sandwich updates but im not completely sure

You can always relock your bootloader and update but you can't get back DRM rights...which is not a big issue...so what if track id don't work, there are better similar apps like soundhound.Also there is a method which unlocks bootloader without losing DRM but never test it

1. Unlocking bootloader will stop you from updating through SE official method. But i'm sure you can always flash the firmware using flashtool when the update is available
2. Unlocking bootloader DOES NOT do any harm as far as i'm concern(but void the warranty! If i'm not mistaken). The only way you can damage it is by using third party software/firmware.. Let say you unlock the bootloader > use custom kernel > overclock it like crazy till it melts.
I'm one of the guy with unlocked bootloader..

Yes. Hold down the volume down button keys for mini pro.
You need to do this after you selected your chosen firmware to flash and click ok.
Then you will see a pop up telling you to unplug the USB cable, switch off phone.
Then hold down the volume down, while doing that, plug in your USB cable to your computer and switch on your phone. Don't let go of holding the volume down button yet!
Wait till you see on the flashtool start flashing then it's ok to release the volume down button and that's where the magic started.
No you don't need to unmount your sd card, it will not remove/ delete anything from your sd card except applications or games that are saved on your sd card which is not a big deal you can download it again later or make a backup of its apk.
Hope I help ya

If your bootloader is unlocked, repairing it with SEUS or PC Companion will not relock it, but it will restore stock eclair.
Once the bootloader is unlocked succesfully (you still can make calls and things), there is no need to touch it again, unless you want your phone back in original state for repairs under warranty.

How did you make PC Companion to detect your phone?
My x10 mini is using nAa kernel + MiniCM7.
I'm trying to flash stock kernel using PC Companion, but it doesn't even detect the phone.
It asks to mount the SD card when I plug the USB cable, but after I do that, it says "No phone connected".
It doesn't need to If you want to flash back to stock with PC Companion you can turn off your phone and disconnect it from the computer
Choose update in PC Companion, (It doesn't detect your phone) It will give you a repair option
Follow the steps and only connect your phone when it asks for it (popup asking you to connect your phone in flashmode)
The repair-option let's you choose your model and downloads the firmware for that.
Let us know how it goes

Thank you very much.
I'm going to unlock the carrier restriction of my girlfriend's x10 mini.
The problem is that I've installed nAa kernel and MiniCM7 ROM in it, and it seems that CyanogenMod 7 doesn't have na option to insert the unlock code for SIM restriction.
Searching in Google, it seems that I need to flash stock kernel and ROM to be able to insert the unlock code.
Too much headache for a simple operation that CM7 guys should have implemented...

CM7 is stock android with some extra tweaks The functionality you're looking for is part of android, i'm sure the CM7 guys didn't take it out.
I guess you want to sim-unlock the phone to use it with other carriers? In that case, just pop in a sim-card from another provider and at start-up it will ask you for your unlock-code.
It's as easy as that, but i agree there should be an option to put the code in somewhere in the user-interface

I tried to do that (inserted a SIM from another carrier), but it didn't ask me for an unlock code at the boot.
I've made sure to test with 2 different SIMs, from different carriers.
In both cases, MiniCM7 didn't ask the for carrier unlock code and the radio signal icon showed 4 empty bars with a red little icon (don't remember if an "!" or an "x"). Also, the message "No service" appeared in the screen.
I'm sure that the phone is still carrier locked, since it's working with the original carrier (where I've bought it) SIM.
Odd But I hope it works with stock eclair for you then

Yea. Sony's stock ROM has the feature to insert a carrier restriction unlock code.
It should ask you for the unlock code as soon as it boots with a SIM from a different carrier.
I really don't get why CyanogenMod guys haven't implemented such a feature in their ROMs.
Whatever. Thank you very much for the explanations.

Maybe I am wrong but I write my thoughts.
Your phone had an unlocked bootloader that you relocked and you reipaired it using seus.
So my thought is you got stock kernel via seus back. Stock kernel hasn't got a cwm. You have to reinstall cwm. Another way is to unlock your bootloader again an flash a stock compatible kernel that comes with root and cwm.
Gesendet von meinem MT11i mit Tapatalk 2
1.1)what was that something, that you flashed on pureness rom?
1.2)what do you mean by not booting after you flash that something? Red light? Bootloop? Bootscreen stuck? What? Be specific!
2)now after you flashed it with seus and you have red led, does it blink, does it light only once?
3)is your battery charged?

First,I flashed the relock bootloader ftf (sorry,forgot where I downloded it)
Next,I flashed .562 Stock ICS firmware n do a official update using seus (but it still not working)
Then,flash .431 firmware n continue with official update again (finally it work!)
I do these with flashtool...I think the 2nd step is necessary (dont skip).....n.....if u can,hit the 1st thx for me!:fingers-crossed:
Good luck

What did you do exactly?
Is your bootloader unlocked, and do you know and used flashtool, PC Companion, or Sony Update before?

First thing you need to calm down.
You can flash a formware with flashtool, no need for debugging mode.
You just need to download firmware file or to build it yourself.
To download you will have to search.
To build your own, start PC Companion, click start under support zone, click start under phone / tablet software update, click the link repair my phone / tablet, follow the instructions on screen until it finish downloading files and ask to connect in flash mode. then stop it.
Follow one of the guids below to build FTF file

Once done flash the file you made, with flashtool, in flash mode.

The link is for locked bootloader. you do not need debugging mode for flashing a new kernel. Just put your phone in fastboot mode. and flash the kernel using cmd. then restart your phone. You will be able to enter CWM.

Now you must have the files, build your FTF.
Hey guys,
Today my phone said the update 17.1.1.A.0.402 is available for me phone. But whenever I try to update it via Update Center app it downloads the firmware and then it's verifying and after a few seconds it says 'could not verify'. I tried to update via PC Companion, but PC Companion says there's no update for my phone. Any idea what's wrong?
My phone has a locked bootloader and it's rooted. I also got dual recovery installed. My firmware is stock, I only rooted it.
It wont let you update if you have a modifed Firmware
Dual recovery and root can be counted as modded firmware
You can use flashtool to flash a stock rom (include system only and exclude data wipe)

I guess I'll have to repair my phone using PC companion before I can update? Well let's do that.
Guys I repaired my phone through pc companion and it put the .402 firmware on it. Then I rooted it again. Problem fixed.

I am having the same issue on a Z2 I just bought. How did you use the pc companion to put .402 firmware on it? Thanks

He used the repair function in PC Companion, which will wipe the phone and install the latest update.
If you prefer to keep your data, you could just download the 402 firmware FTF file and use Flashtool to flash it, then root the device again. Just ensure that you untick the Wipe Data option in Flashtool.
Yes. I tried to repair it and followed all the steps but it said the software had been changed after I plugged in the USB while holding the volume down.
I will try to flash. 314 using the other method. Currently have 402.

I just found out my z2 is rooted and the boot loader is unlocked. Will the method using flashtool still return me to stock?

Yes, the Flashtool method works for unlocked bootloaders too.
im trying to update my z2 from sony pc companion .. more than 3 hours and stay in step 3 ( downloading ) ! and my phone turned off ! what i can do ??
Does your phone switch on? What actually happened? We'll need more info so we can try and help m8. You could always plug in your phone and try again or try repairing your phone via pc companion if the update method fails or try flashtool:good: but more info m8 please

This is the one: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
The one on Sony website is to flash stock firmware on unlocked bootloaders.
I've trying to update my xperia z2 to 5.1. It downloads the software and then says 'could not verify'. I've done factory reset, lost all my contacts, tried it again. Still the same message. Please help

Your phone has a modified system partition. It is either rooted, unlocked bootloader of has recovery installed. You cannot update with ota.
