did you try to update the version of flashtoo to 0.9.11.0l?
Did you try to flash any custom kernel too?

How many threads will you open?? Try hard restart.. Check if all the drivers are installed n flash just official ftf..

Okay, I'm downloading this version now, will report. No I didn't try any custom kernel, my BL is locked does it work anyway and may you give me a link if it would work?

I'm sorry, but this is another problem.What do you mean with "Hard restart" I restarted the phone already but always stuck in Sony logo and I installed all drivers before. Before this happened everything worked with the Flashtool and the Firmwares/Kernels I downloaded.

Custom kernels are only for unlocked bootloader. I though you were on unlocked bootloader buddy.
Also, when you try to install a firmware via flashtool uncheck the option "final verification".

Okay, I have a locked BL. I tried it with unchecking it, same issue...

Which ftf file are you using!?? check if it is for locked bootloader!! Press power and volume+ together and wait until it vibrates three times.. This is hard restart

I'm using MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_CE I downloaded it here and it worked before. Yeah Hard reset works but I'm still stuck in sonys logo.
I updated Flashtool but same problem
Really guys I hope you still have suggestions (

Do you have .10 ftf?? Try flashing it once .n I have to ask does it go into bootloop or just stays on sony logo for all time?!

It must be some problem with your drivers on pc, if u can enter fastboot mode then u shouldnt have problem flashing...

This can be because sometimes flashtool asks me to install drivers and when I'm installing them then there is the error. I Can't enter fastboot because I ha ve a locked BL.

In your pc go to c/flashtool/drivers n install that exe.. And if you're mobile just stays on sony logo then let it stay there for sometime.. May be some error with TA partition

I re-installed the flashtool and downloaded another ftf here:

Yes it is possible without having to start up your phone, and yes i read thread but take note on what i was refering to in detail i said MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL and not {{MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_Global}}}. Either way just unlock your bootloader seeing as how u cant turn it on to get the imei their is another way with flashtool.
1) download and install latest Flashtool (Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0)
2) Start Flashtool and click on BLU button on the top its right next to the lightning rod
3) turn off your phone (Hold power button and volume up make sure it vibrates twice), connect phone to PC in flashmode(hold down volume down while connecting it to pc)
4) click on get unlock key button, it will switch you to Sony Mobile website, here complete all boxes
5) copy IMEI form Flashtool to Sony Mobile site, than you will get unlock code to your mailbox
6) copy unlock key to Flashtool window and than click unlock
7) connect phone in fastbootmode ( holding volume up while connecting it to pc)
8) wait to unlock finish.
you should now have unlocked bootloader. Then retry flashing the .54 i also say just flash .54_KERNEL and NOT .54_Global.

[Q] [Noob] Bootloader unlocking via Flashtool not working

I'm a complete noob, all i ever did was flashing a ROM, so please don't shoot me...
So i started by reflashing 2.3.3 stock firmware. I downloaded flashtool and installed it on my pc (0.7.1.0). I rooted the phone and installed xRecovery. So now i wanted to unlock my bootloader to flash FeraLab 17.
I installed the s1 tool to check if my phone is good to be unlocked, and it says it's fine. And now i go back to flashtool to start the unlocking: plugins> bootloader unlock> run.
So all is fine till i get to this point. When i unplug my phone and power it off and then press the back button and plug it back in it says the following:

I have the same problem KingRafox. And i've tried several method including the link posted above.
Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!) <--- failed!!
after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool
now flash the wifi modules for dooms ck with recovery. (atm the update.zips are for xrec, but for sure please always check dooms kernel-thread if there is anything changed)
power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.

I've followed these instruction but it failed when running the unlock file (qsd8250_semc.cmd). It says that it failed to get root access or something. (I'll post the log later on).
I also flashed to stock 2.1, downgrade the kernel and tried using x10 Bootloader Unlock Tool (with the big "Unlock Bootloader" button). But failed.
If anyone have any other methods or any suggestion, i'm all open.
Thanks for replying.
Guys,
I've finally unlocked my bootloader using "The proper method".
The mistake (i think) was, I was on generic 2.3.3 when I use this method.
I flashed back to generic 2.1 and ran the unlock tool. When finished I check back with S1tool, my device show "r" and not "R" Yeaa...
Note that, I failed to unlock my bootloader when I was on 2.1 and 2.3.3 using latest Flashtool.
Thanks guys.
Guys,
I encountered the same situation when I using the least version of Flashtool (0.7.1.0), it always display - WARN - Cancelled
So I roll back to use Flashtool (v0.6.8.0) then plugins> bootloader unlock> run, it works
i'm using FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec, flash without any error. Try find it. .
Guys
Make sure your SEMC SIM LOCK status supported by doom kernel (forgot about status lock or unlock cause I tried only 1 times and get lucky)
from my expirence.. some many devices will be locked for the networks and it will give you EMERGENCY CALL and you OUT OF LUCK!

What the hell, I'm still having the same "disconnect" problem as in the original post.
Let me ask you all if I'm missing something here:
1) I have a new, Vodafone-locked X10 mini Pro.
2) I downloaded Flashtool latest
3) I used it to root the phone (ok, it worked)
4) I use the Plugin menu, then Unlock Bootloader, then you know the rest.
Am i missing something here?
Should I change kernel or install a recovery first?
If only every device was as easy as the SGS's...
Thanks guys
try this

Thanks DJ.
I've managed to Unlock the bootloader still yesterday, i don't know why or how, but it worked.
The difference from my previous post is that I started the process with the phone already in flash mode, then reboot, then flash mode again, and then the Flashtool did everything (even saying Bootloader: UNROOTABLE)
My difficulty after that was to flash CWM. It's funny but that next step is not explained anywhere.
Are these the correct procedures?
Stock Phone > Flashtool:Root > Flashtool:Unlock Bootloader > CWM (???) > Flash Image > Flashtool:Kernel
It's strange why:
1) There is no CWM to flash from Flashtool
2) The kernel cannot be flashed from CWM
CWM recovery is built in to kernels like doomlords v6 multi recovery or FXP kernel. You will have to flash a CWM based kernel to get CWM recovery
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
There should be an install recovery button in ft which allows u to install cwm or xrecovery

Or flashing KCernel v3, got CWM recovery and Xrecovery in one.

I have tried to enter flash mode and press RESTORE as it says. I receive a "NOTHING TO RESTORE" message...
Do you know why Flashtool does not show anyting in Plugin menu ?

Possibly bricked Xperia Sola (help please)

I just flashed this through CWM in an unlocked-bootloader sola (as the thread suggested) and then after i pressed reboot from the CWM menu the phone stopped responding to anything!
screen, adb, fastboot, nothing working...
The only responses i can get from it are:
phone vibrates once when i press power+vol up
red led turns on when i plug in the usb cable
It won't even enter adb or fastboot, so i cant think of a way to fix this
Flash mode seems to appear working but when i try to flash anything through FlashTool it wont flash anything with an empty error message.

i had that problem with my xperia go once. when i turned it on it would show the Sony logo, then the Xperia logo and restart...
when i tried to flash a new ics rom(the stock one) via flash tool it had the same error, but i figured out you need to have PC companion opened when using flashtool.(at least that worked for me)

The problem is, my phone doesn't turn its screen on.
I can't tell whats going on, if its on or not (im being guided by led colors).
And i tried having pc companion on while using flashtool which didn't help
My friend sorry to say but you should read that post clearly before installing that rom this rom is for unlocked bootloader only.
May you have not checked bl status whether it is properly unlocked or not.
Or try to unlock bl again from flash tool and try to flash from again.

Hello, I want to downgrade my soft in sk17i from 4.1.B.587 to 4.1.B.431. How can i do this? I already downloaded the soft.. I know that there is a program called flashtool but im afraid that something bad can happen to my phone :| Can you help me?
Download flashtool and the 4.1.B.431.ftf firmware for the sk17i
Now you go in the flashtool installation folder -> drivers and you install all drivers for all devices/modes. Place the 4.1.B.431 firmware in flashtool -> firmwares and launch flashtool. Now click on the flash, select flashmode, select the ftf, but don't tick wipe data, otherwise all your data is lost. Now click okay, turn off your phone, wait a few seconds, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect your phone via usb to your pc. Flashtool will flash the firmware automatically and when flashtool has finished, unplug your phone and start it :good:

I know you are not the only that had it. Could be bad FW file or drivers issue.
Have you flashed this file before?
What Windows version are you using?

Turn it off first, press power + volume up untill you feel 3 vibrations, then you can enter flash mode.

Should I Uncheck The Baseband Or Something I Had Missed Before Flashing It?
Btw Im Running XNovathor 4.1.2 V5 Currently..
Any Help Would Be Appreciated..
@TJam12
It may be corruped firmware file, connect your phone in flashmode while flashtool window is open, if it stays connected for about 45 seconds it's not drivers problem.
Why not use SUS or PCC to flash stock?
I Could But I Need To Relock The Bootloader By Flashing The Relock Ftf.. But Its Gives Me The Same Error As This One..
Btw, It Only Stays For 10 Seconds, Is It A Drivers Problem? But Flashtool Detected It Though..

Might be drivers, what windows version is it?
What about fastboot how long can it stay connected?

Fot my understanding you can flash with fastboot, at least system and kernel, and maybe the rest you'd be able to flash with flashtool as they are small.

Just as flashing the kernel
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot flash system system.sin
Not sure how safe this is if you cannot flash the others.
The others I don't know but maybe you will be able to flash them with flashtool
There is the partition image that may need to be flashed first.
Maybe it's better to find a computer that flashtool would work on.

You said flash mode disconnects after 10 seconds, normally it is 45 seconds, that could be a problem or with the file.
Try reloading the firmware file or even better, build ne from PCC files.
Start repair with PCC untill it ask you to connect in flash mode, the build FTF .

Haha, No Need.. I Solved It Already..
Apparently Its Because Of The "Holding Down Volume Button" Thing..
If U Just Connect The Phone While Its Powered Off Without Holding Anything It Works.. Anyway, Thx For Helping..

That's ultra weird, gotta hold down the volume down, but not forever.
You say it flashed without holding it down at all,?
