Ok, I've installed all the drivers that come with flashboot (xperia u, flashboot and fastboot)
ST25i
firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
ics 4.0.4
Says in the settings that it can be unlocked.
Gone all the way through the official method, at the end it just says "root failed" (rechecked both modes multiple times.
Installed flashtool, tried that method, root fails.
Run "root many android", also fails.
I am running everything in admin mode, the phone stays in fastboot and driver is recognized... I just have no idea.

better unock through flashtool
u trying to root or unlock bootloader??
I think he wants to root it...You have to flash .B.1.10 kernel as first. After that you can root (by any method, but I strongly recommend latest Flashtool). And after rooting flash back kernel B.1.54
Where do I get the kernel and how do I flash it? Thanks!
I've tried using this, but get the error "the device must be rooted 1st"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926387
Now following this guide, gets stuck when it tells me to unplug the device, hold the back button (up arrow) and plug in the usb, phone comes on, computer recognises, phone stays with blue led lit... nothing happens..
Use flashtool to flash stock kernel. Search for. 10 and. 54 kernels on forum
Sent from my Xperia Sola (XDA for Android)
Flash .10 kernel first. Root your phone with "root many android" trheads method and watch the tut vid. Then flash. 54 kernel. I couldnt find "root many android" topic with my phone, so just search for it. When using flashtool to flash kernels, first install drivers from drivers folder, then boot your phone in flashmode. Hope this helps

Hi,
So I've got an xperia x10, and it was still running 1.6 so I wanted to upgrade it. So I went on the phone, selected software update (in settings -> about phone) and pressed update (didn't use any SE update tools on the PC). It started downloading the update, and after that it rebootet and started installing the update. At the last step however, this comes up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this happens every time I try rebooting the phone, so I cannot start the phone.
Now I've tried several things:
- Repair phone using PC pc companion
Result: No update avaiable
- Update via SE update service
Result: You already have the newest software
- Flash via x10 flash tool ()
It says "Start flashing" but then nothing happens - seems like it doesn't
connect properly
It does seems like the phone boot into flashing mode when I try, at least the SE tools continues after I start the phone in flash mode (screen is just black but the green LED is on).
So is there anyway I can repair my phone? (I'm afraid I cannot go to a store and make them do it, I got the phone from previous workplace)
Thanks for any help!

Flash process finished without kernel. You didn't do something stupid like tick exclude kernel, right?
Shutdown flashtool and disconnect your phone, and do the process again.
And may I ask you, since you already followed tutorial, why not asking in it, instead of creating new thread?

I Faced The Same problem many times. do this what i did - when it ask to connect in flash mode, hold down back key then connect via usb. wait for flashtool saying "the flashing started"(or A Sound Of PC that some usb thing is connected), now release the back button. if this process not working try it 2-4 times again. it'll work!

Bro, its better to use fastboot mode.
connect your device in fastboot mode
put ur kernel (IMG file) in androidsdk/tools folder
go to start menu and type cmd and press enter
in cmd write these commands
cd/
cd androidsdk/tools
fastboot flash boot (type kernel name.img without brackets)
So its done / if you want know how to get and use fastboot , you can ask i will tell
I'm trying to root my Sony Xperia P with the standard manual from Sony.
But when I'm trying to reboot the phone I see a new device "S1Boot Fastboot" in the device manager in Windows 7 x64, but after a few second the device is disapeard and the phone boots normal. Is there a way to do this with an application instead of using the Android SDK?
Why this on development section? Go to Q&A section
dude you need drivers, you need Android SDK, than Gordons Gate Flash Drivers, Sony Update Service, and Flash Drivers from the flash tool
From the Sony page you need the latest Android SDK a custom android_winusb.inf file from Sony to enable Fastboot for this phone and Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher. I've got al these components installed on my machine.
this can be a simple driver issue, install drives manually
go to Computer, and go to Manage

and do it fast before the device turn off fastboot mode
right click on it and go to Update Software
click on the second option
put the folder where is the usbs drivers
click on next, and install the driver, and now you have the fastboot drives already installed, now you just need to unlock bootloader from that tutorial by sony, and please, hit thanks if you think i helped you, and sorry for that bad english, i am brazilian

It sorted itself out, but thanks for your attention, guys
I'm new in this topic, though I had a samsung galaxy ace before and and could root it without a problem, but oh, well.
Then, back to business.
I rooted my lg l9 768g after I bought it and delete some bloatware, but then software update showed up for JB. I downloaded the update and tried to install it, couldn't do it, after a reboot displayed a message saying something about my device being rooted and because of that it could not update. I unrooted the phone using the SuperSU app, instead of using the software I used to root it. After that I tried updating again to JB but the same error showed up.
Since I could not update to JB via sofware update, I tried rooting my phone again, but it would only reboot but the SuperSU app will not show up. Tried doing it several times with same results.

I used this program to root my phone, which worked the first time, but I can't make it to work again.
I tried flashing JB using this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36351786
but I end up with an error
I keep my phone in SW Upgrade Mode and connect the usb to my laptop to see if the drivers weren't installed properly but nothing installs.
So, I would like help with re-rooting my phone or help with another method for flashing JB other than the link already mentioned above.
Thanks in advance.
My phone is a Lg optimus l9 768g
android ver: 4.0.4
kernel ver: 3.0.21
Do you have CWM working?
Try flashing with Your l9 turned on normally and connect the usb in LG software mode (wait for the drivers to connect properly). Sometimes it doesn't work when you start out with it connected in S/W upgrade mode first.

download the latest flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
use the built in xperifirm button to go grab the right software for your phone, then flash it in flashmode. The tool tells you when it's ready and tells you what to do. (phone powered off, connect usb cable while holding vol-down WHEN PROMPTED)
You can leave all the options default on the firmware selector screen, though you may wish to tick the "USERDATA" box under wipe if you want to start fresh.
