Okay, I have a big problem with my phone, I decided to redo the operating system to a new version/ROM because the one i was using on it before several issues where coming up with it, 1: I Couldn't connect to other providers even though i had phone unlocked. 2: Some default programs where having problems starting.
So When doing a kernel upgrade my phone did not respond kept staying for 2 hours on the "SE" logo, and would not budge, so i decided to remake it, after about 4 hours i was able to get a OS on it, but this OS was older and out of date, when trying to go back to xRecovery it did not want to come up, i downloaded a Reboot to Recovery APK, which informed me that My "xRecovery" was not installed, which is weird because it was installed before.
I been trying to get the Default root method to install xRecovery which every time i ran the "Flash tools" program, it would not allow me to install xRecovery.
If anyone can contact me on skype "mradziwilko" to help me out, or post here ill be here checking on forum every min.
Thanks
Anyone would love some help?

Hi buddy, Have you tried to use ftf file like zahdi5h, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212260 to update?
You have to have unlocked boot loader and you can drag and drop the ftf into flash tool. Make sure you tick no final verification in flashtool or you will get error.
If that don't work then I suggest starting over with fresh 2.3.3.
Go back to stock using Sony Ericsson Update Service (seus) Use google or search threads for program.
Then just re-do, unlock boot loader and install recovery again with flashtool.
Hopefully zahdi5h ftf file will get you out of trouble.

I downloaded this FTF File, when opening it with the latest Flash Tool, it does not Recognize it.
Is their a possability you can link me another FTF, i know CM9 worked, but because i dont have a boot loader i need a ftf to be flashed, i tried with the IMG file, but the flashtool.exe keeps saying <Waiting for Device> and does nothing.
Also to add more info :
My Phone I thought was originaly a Xperia X10a, which it bios it says its a Xperia X10i.

Hi mate is your boot loader unlocked? If not then unlock it with flashtool. Try Version 0.9.10.1 of flashtool. Work's for me.
Download from http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1373179542000
And you can also drag and drop the FTF file into flash-tool. FTF contains Kernel and rom., tick the no final verification box on bottom right.

Can someone of you senior members describe me how to flash custom kernel via Flashtool 0.6.5.
I try to put kernel .ftf file in Flashtool/devices/x10/kernel but Flashtool can't see it. Just see another kernel, which is there by default (modfxp.doomkernel.v.0.6 for locked bootloader). Then I try to put in firmwares folder, and when I pressed flash (lightning) button small window appear with my kernel file, and some other file (bootlock or something like that). I pick my kernel and Flashtool start to flash something. After I was told to disconnect, press back, and connect again usb (flashmode), phone start to boot with new bootimage (DoomLord one), and then turn off, and battery showed like on charging. I wait a little bit, disconnect from usb, and try to turn on phone, but phone stuck with doomkernel image.
I flashed back to stock with SEUS, root, and unlock bootloader again.
Can someone tell me what went wrong, and how to flash custome kernel???

I have Xperia Neo v MT11i
I have created backup using CMW of android 4.0.3 ICS version after updating through flashing ....
today I, reflashed to android 2.3.4 GB , unfortunately after installing CMW again now I restored the same backup that I created of ICS version using CMW .... now my phone just stops at SONY ERICSSON logo, ....... I think it is bricked now........
I have unlocked bootloader
Please help to unbrick.....
things i have these things with me.......
1. Flash tool
2. NeoV.4.0.2.A.0.62.ftf .........(GB)
3. MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf ......(ICS)
4. CMW recovery image to boot into CMW recovery.
5. Backup made with CMW with ICS version.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED....
1. flashing both GB and ICS version using flash tool, but gets error as ......Error flashing. Aborted
2. formating systen, data, cache, within recovery options of CMW recovery.... still nothing good....
Please help .....
1) it's CWM not CMW
2) cwm recovery doesn't contain kernel
4) ICS can't work on GB kernel
5) solution: use ICS kernel when you're using ICS CWM backup

Regarding this problem, first you said you flashed GB and now you say you got error, how is that?
For flashing ICS .ftf use latest flashtool and tick no final data verification option, or something like that.
If you have problem flashing GB .ftf, using latest flashtool, then use some older version.
I meant that after bricking my phone, i just tried to re-flash GB or ICS to unbrick, and now flashing does not occur successfully but ends with error.

Read what I wrote above.
And give us a bit more info.
What flashtool version are u using, what OS are u using. What error do you get,log file.
Tried downloading older version of flashtool?
extract kernel.sin file from MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf
connect phone with fastboot mode to pc
then you have to run fastboot.exe from FlashTool\x10flasher_lib\fastboot.exe
flash kernel.sin via this command
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
Good news
I managed to reinstall android ICS, before that i tried Wostan X tool Unlock, upto the point where it showed that you have not enough credits. then i retried Flashtool and got ICS installed. now phone runs ICS successfully.
Now a new problem arrived...... Now I cannot connect phone in fast boot mode...... also my adb drivers are gone...... Please help
First you said you have unlocked BL, and now you tried to use wotan tool for unlock, why?
How did you unlock your bootloader?
And regard your driver problem, install drivers from flashtool folder.
And no need to write with that over sized colored text.
I have unlocked bootloader 2 months ago using sony bootloader unlock service...
one other problem I have not mentioned earlier is that phone does not detect SIM card, i have tried 3 other SIM cards also
also by opening service menu in *#*#7378423#*#* --> configuration --> Bootloader unlock allowed: No . earlier it shows yes as i have unlocked it before.
That unlockx is a nasty bit of software, if you try to unlock without credits, it cripples your phone trying to force a sale.
Download s1tool use the restore button, this will fix the sim issue. Then unlock via the Sony method as you used originally.

I have downloaded setool, but it does not shows MT11 in phone type..... then how to use setool? more over i can't run phone in fastboot mode now, only flash mode is possible.
Must be s,1tool not setool
You have to install the zeus drivers, and touch the testpoint, it should detect it as Zeus flash device, then use restore.

Hi, I need for my bricked X10i a kernel including xrecovery which I can flash per flashtool as .ftf bundle cause of my phone hangs on SE Logo and nothing else. After I used SE update service my phone has no more firmware and is relocked bootloader and unrooted. flashing firmware via flashtool as ftf bundle failed after 15 % everytime.
So please can anybody help me...
Hi,
its not possible to have xrecovery in ftf itself. Ftf is the whole partition image - so it might be included i.e. with system image, not standalone. I dont think so it exists...
If you cant flash firmware,try installing xrecovery when SE logo appears, if OS loads basically it should be possible.
However dont know how it could help you in future.

Don't really matters, the img is flashed with ROM anyway, problem you installed ROM for different phone.
Turn the phone off and flash stock with flashtool, then start over, with ROM for your phone this time.

Okay, flash mode and fastboot mode drivers installed I assume.
Download stco rom FTF, put it in flashtool firmware directory, start flash in flash mode, choose the file you have dowanloaded, wait till flashtool ask you to connect in flash mode, turn the phone off (press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations,) connect the USB cable while holding volume down key.

Yest that flashtool.
There only stock rom FTFs no others, you will have to search your phone android development forum for one.
Open flash tool, turn off your phone, connect to the PC while pressing volume down key, flashtool should display "device connected in flash mode", and it should stay connected for about 45 seconds if no flash is being made.

Just try if you can get flash mode to work without flashing anything as I explained. This is the key for recovery.
You can also create your own FTF.
Start update with PC Companion until it asks you tp connect in flash mode, then quit and build the FTF with flashtool.

Title says it all...almost.
Was already rooted on 4.4.2.
I did a TA backup.
Then I followed the instructions located here to get custom XZDualRecovery .
All worked great!
Was able to boot into TWRP and Philz successfully.
Performed a full backup in TWRP onto a thumb drive over OTG cable.
Then wiped everything via TWRP in preparation for a CM11 rom.
Rebooted before trying to flash CM11.
Now can only boot to sony logo, fastboot, and "System Recovery" mode. (the mode that has 'continue power up' 'safe mode' 'factory reset' and 'power down'
I, like all the other noobs who didn't RTFM, missed the ''Be sure to flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery!'' part of the XZDualrecovery post. =(
Now, my questions is, what if you DID forget to flash dual recovery after wiping?
What happens now?
I am thinking, is there a way to flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip via fastboot?
If so, how?
Thanks for your time and be gentle.
after 8 days with no help, I read 10 different threads on 10 different issues that KIND of pertained to my problem.
Wrote all Pertinent info down on a sheet of paper over the course of 4 days of searching.
And then started piecing together a solution.
Here's what I did to fix my issue for anyone who has the same problem.
1. Download xperifirm and select correct firmware for device
2. used Flashtool to convert above downloaded firmware to FTF
3 put tablet into flashmode
4. flash FTF file via flashtool
5. viola!
Thanks..I think.

Thanks for the reply!
I do have a question about the ''you can use flashtol to download your carriers latest ftf" part.
are you referring to being able to download the firmware from the flashtool site here?
Or can you actually do it directly from the flashtool program?
My 2 problems are, 1. I do not see ANY firmware for my SGP561 (verizon) tablet on the website
and 2. I do not see any options for firmware download in the flashtool program
EDIT: Found it! Flashtool program > Devices > Check Updates
Is there a way to flash downgrade your firmware to a lower build number so you can officially unlock through Sony's dev site?
