Hi all,
I've had this problem for a while now, but I've been ignoring it, untill now.
Everytime I try to download this JB update (6.2.A.0.400), everything goes smooth. But as soon as I try to install it, my phone shuts down and tries to install it. some sort of gift box pops up for a second and it boots again. Followed by the message that the update could not be installed.
I've searched google for a solution, but could not find one, so now I'm asking you.
TIA
-Alex

Sorry for the late reaction. I can't update it with flashtool because my phone will only stay in flashmode for about 3 seconds...

I just went back to 7. I installed the drivers from the flashtool folder. They should work right? It does happen with flashtool open.

Flashtool drivers work for me on windows 7, I think,, can't be sure because I have PC Companion installed and I had problems with them at the begging and tried many different solution and can't remember which of them fixed the problem.
Back then when I connected the device, flashmode I think, while looking at device manager, a device cam up with yellow icon then disapeared after a secong or two.

That version I think, but the problem was the drivers because when I was on Windows XP I didn't have this problem.
Did you flash all 3 drivers from flashtool?

BTW why do you chose to upgrade to 6.2.A.0.400 and not 6.2.A.1.100?

Right click the driver in device manager and select properties, you will see the diver version, if you click details you can see versions of each of the 3 files of the driver.
Do you have latest PC Ccmpanion installed? Maybe this can fix the issue or might even download 6.2.A.1.100.

I've just downloaded the latest version. And it can indeed give me the versions you suggested. But lately I've been wanting to just root my phone and put CM on it.

I think it's the version I have.
To root the phone I don't think you need flash moed, just fastboot and usb debbugung, but you will need it if you want to reflash or upgrade the firmware.
Sorry I just looked and you do need flash mode, I remembered it was just the kernel but it's an ftf.

Hi everyone!
Yesterday i decided to start exploring my Xperia X10i and so came across this site, rooted my phone, installed xRecover and tried to unlock the bootloader... BUT it would not work!!! I used the [HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10 by 9Lukas5, followed all the steps and it would not work!!
He says you dont need to downgrade, so i was using my 2.3.3 firmware. (downgraded only in flashtool), the semc program just wouldnt finish the job (i checked, i have the semc certificate). It even bricked my phone(stuck on the sony ericcson part) a few times (i managed to revive it). Now i installed the Cyanogen7 mod 003, im wondering if i should try again with the bootloder?
If i have to downgrade to 2.1 please send me a link where i can download the firmware. And its done by the flashtool right? (i got the 0.2.9.1, for some reason the 0.6.7.1 comes up with some error screen when i start it)
Ok, i just downgraded with this file -> Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435.
Tried to do the bootloader unlock again, thats what comes up (and did on my old 2.3.3):

Can I unlock the bootloader with the Cyanogenmod as well?

Are the developers doing anything except developing and talking to each other?? HOW ABOUT HELPING A NOOB?! (me) FML!!! Fixed the sms problem btw with flashing 2.1 again. CMON SOMEONE, HELP!!!!!!
I'm no expert but I will try to help
What error are you getting with the latest flashtool?
Try using the X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
BTW for most of the devices, you need to downgrade and be careful on choosing on the .bat file to unlock. also keep the upgrade file ready.
If you have troubles getting the phone into flash mode use this trick
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 10 secs.
So quick clicks on the mouse would help you

The one i downloaded was from here (Windows version 32 bit btw) : [TOOL/X10] [UPDATE 15/01/2012] Flashtool version 0.6.7.0 - Windows / Linux
Wait, i just installed the 0.6.7.0 from http://androxyde.github.com/ And it seems to be working... But this is the installer, the other one was a zip with the files so maybe it has to be installed.

The flashmode is not a problem atm, but if thats a good tip for the future
I was using the Azuzu downgrade that is included in the 0.2.9.1 flashtool, isnt it the same one? <---- Yes, im 99% sure it is. Same name and weight of the downloaded file as the one included in the firmwares folder. So i have been using it.
OK!! I USED THE [25NOV][FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies - G-FACE GUIDE
(with the working 0.6.7.0)
And apparently i successfully unlocked the bootloader.
Where it says "S1 ERROM VER", if the code looks like this "r8А033" (the letter "r" is small), then you have successfully unlocked the BL, if its capital letter "R", then repeat the steps for BL unlocking.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<--- i get that r8А033
BUT!!! I just installed the [2.3.3+2.3.7+arc][05/02/2012]ThGo2 v14.0 [Bestest] [ICS theme] [with T.E.A.M] AND WHEN THE PHONE LOADS THE FIRST THING THAT POPS UP IS...GUESS WHAT?... SONY ERICCSON!!!! So that meant i havent unlocked it?? Im so confused
OR do i have to install a custom kernel (firmware or watever) before installing any other firmware? Koz I installed the ThGo2 from my generic 2.3.3 (without flashing anything or installing any kernels) that i updated through PC Companion. If i do need to install something, then how? Flashtool? And What? Sorry for being such a Noob guys
So basically what i did was -> Phone is on 2.3.3 -> Root phone with flash tool -> Install Xrecovery -> "Unlock BL" -> Xrecovery, install the ThGo2.
Whats kernel by the way?
And again I am left alone.... SERIOUSLY, WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT CAN HELP? WHAT DID I JOIN THE SITE FOR IF NOONE IS HELPING ME? FMFL.
Hey sorry about late reply.
After unlocking bootoader you will keep seeing SE boot image until you flash custom kernel.
The ROM you want will have the kernel that needs to be flashed via flashtool.
If you download FXP cm7, the kernel ftf is in the flashtool -> firmwares folder. Just drag and drop onto flashtool
Give that a go first and let me know what happens.
Ill try check this more often
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ok, thanks man!! Since i decided to go with the ThGo2 (its faster than cyanogen as far as i can see), i have to flash one of his kernels. He got 2 --> X10_2.3.3_Th_kernel-n1.1-BootManager-v2.0 & X10_2.3.3_Th_kernel-n1.1_wifi. I'll try the first one now and report how it goes. Hopefully it works. And i hope my phone doesnt brick either

haha no worries. You should be fine so long as you don't pull the battery or cable while you're flashing a new baseband (which you shouldn't have to do unless your running a 2.1 rom )
ThGo2 is a great rom. Have fun

Hey i think that answers my question but just to clarify: So this is what happened i usred flashtool 0.9.0 to unlock the bootloader so that i can unlock my phone from rogers. Everything went right. Flashtool did its thing completed the bootloader unlock recognized my phone and confirmed unlock with small r using s1 tool. After reeboot two things still happen. First i am still booting through the original se prompt thst oalways had, and two, my phone is still locked to rogers. I am using the standard firmware that came from sony with the 2.3.3 upgrade. So from what i understand from your post all i have to do is use the flashtool and flash my phone with custom firmware to complete the job, and if so which firmware would i use? Thanks

I think you misunderstood the fact that this is bootloader unlocking not network unlock
So you are still stuck with rogers. There's no free way to network unlock but there are some cheap ones you can find out

You can unlock your bootloader anytime and relock is as many times as you want
That unlocking chances are for network unlock i guess dunno about it much
To unlock your bootloader there's a good guide in development section named G-face guide for flashtool. Search for it. I'm on phone right now can't search

Problem: I was using my phone just fine today, not doing any dangerous flashes or installing ROM's that FC or don't work. Just using it as a phone . About 1hr ago, i exited an app, and my screen froze, just as was it about to load Homescreen icons and layout. Tried to drag down status bar to see if XperiaHome had frozen, nothing happened. Waited, and nothing happened. So, as you would do, I removed the battery and put it back in.
Now, when i turn on my phone. it freezes on the FreeXperiaProject logo. Nothing. No LED Bar lighting up white as it usually does, or just booting it. I left it for 10 mins on FXP, no luck. Since then i have removed the battery and not put it in since.
I have not tried any Fastboot or Recovery combinations yet, or Charging, as i wanted to wait until expert advice.
if you have any other questions, state of battery or signal, I will be on here. Please help however you can!

Now, when i turn on my phone. it freezes on the FreeXperiaProject logo. Nothing. No LED Bar lighting up white as it usually does, or just booting it. I left it for 10 mins on FXP, no luck. Since then i have removed the battery and not put it in since.
I have not tried any Fastboot or Recovery combinations yet, or Charging, as i wanted to wait until expert advice.
if you have any other questions, state of battery or signal, I will be on here. Please help however you can!
Thanks faithfully in advance, R

But here's the thing. With my FXP kernel, if i want to enter CWM, when it says FXP, the LED bar turns white for 3-4 secs, in that time you press Vol. Down repeatedly to enter it. I have tried pressing it WITHOUT the LED Bar on, but it doesn't do anything.

the best thing to do in this situation is to flash stock ICS..... as per my suggestions....... coz if you are unable to start the fone and also unable to go into CWM then flashing is only left for use..........

And how is this done?, not to be rude, just asking. If its with Flashtool, it didn't work in the rooting process, let alone flashing an .ftf

In this, it uses the Fastboot+ADB folder and files to "Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
When i previously installed XperiaPremium, I did it this way.
Is this the same?

Hi all, this is my first message, I always try to find a solution before posting but this time I'm really desperate...
Yesterday I was trying to set back the jelly bean stock rom to my "Xperia P" (I was on nemesis kernel + Enigma rom) device when suddenly flashtool crashed (still don't know why) while flashing, I was very worried because I knew that will probably lead into a brick.
And that happened, the phone is bricked now, and all the info I found talks about re-flashing the stock rom with flashtool but when I try it, it looks like flashtool does not recognise my device (drivers are installed), here I leave a screenshot of what happened when trying to give my P back to life:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only thing I achieved to do is to set back the nemesis kernel to the phone, so now when I switch on the phone, the nemesis kernel logo is displayed but after that the screen goes black again. [so at least I know the fastboot mode is working]
Thanks for your time and many thanks in advance
Ok so is cwm working? If it is maybe you can try to flash enigma if the rom is on your phone and try and revert to stock.

Nope, CWM is not working... When the Nemesis Kernel logo is displayed I press the - volume button repeatedly but nothing happens... the screen just goes black.

Well... finally I achieved to access to CWM by installing another boot.img via fastboot, so there is a light hehe
From where I am now I don't know how to proceed, should I flash a ROM? If I should, how can I put it in the SD internal partition?
thanks man!

I have no rom zip files on the SD card and the mount SD option of cwm menu seems that is not working (the device is not recognised in the windows device manager) maybe is an issue related to drivers? I thought that with pc companion installed the drivers were installed too...

Your the best choice would be to repair with PC Companion or SUS.
Once you are done build your own FTF file

Then you can flash whatever you want.

I've tried that too but SUS tells me that the phone has installed software not supported by sony and does not allow me to continue with the process.

OK that's because the unlocked bootloader.
You can begin repair with PCC and when it ask you to connect the phone in flash mode, quit and build the FTF, than flash it with flashtool.
Well, finally I managed to flash my phone to 6.2.A.1.100 I don't know how but I did the same on another computer with windows 7 and it worked.
I finally flashed the ftf file with flashtool and worked like a charm, I've lost the root access but at least my phone is alive again
Thanks to all of you!

Because you're doing it wrong... You need to turn your phone off, press download then connect the USB cable.

There are several stages to the boot process, flashing a ROM only affects the last part of the boot process therefore all the other parts are in-tact. Press download, connect the USB and if you need to give it some help press the power button but you shouldn't need to.

You didn't hard brick your device, you soft bricked it. Hence why flashing from SP Flash Tools worked. It is virtually impossible to actually hard brick a mediatek device unless you are really stupid and start messing round with partitions you shouldn't be touching.

Use these files instead >>> https://mega.nz/#!IlgxgDhS!r6_OpFYLVv07o025ecJ9rDul2db1KMsoWAlZbabWMxI
The tutorial on the Elephone forum uses an older TWRP version that doesn't work properly.

All you got to do is download sp_flash tool latest version, load the scatter file of rom, then simply go to options and then click to Connection, set usb speed to full speed, and Battery to w/o battery. Then make sure you have selected all the files needed to flash, next click the start button and connect your elephone while holding the volume + button. It will take a quite while but it will be successful. :laugh:
