Hello everyone,
I encountered a problem while flashing a new rom on my new (actually 1,5 years old) Xperia U.
I rooted it and managed to instal the CWM touch recovery (using the CWM-instaler) and when i tried to flash a new rom (eXperiance V2.1)
the rom stopped installing (it has a special installer where u select apps and stuff, u probably know of it) and it didn't move on... i had no other option but to take out the battery. When i tried to turn on the phone again it just showed the sony logo, then automatically restarted, showed the logo again for a few seconds and restarted, and kept doing that until i took out the battery again...
So i tried the flashtool and i can connect the phone in flashmode (green led), but i cant connect it in fastboot mode (it connects but then suddenly disconnects as the phone restarts). I wanted to flash a new .ftf file but somehow when i put my file in the /firmware folder and turn on flashtool it is not visible in the files i could flash (just the stock x10 file is there) so im really at a loss...
Anyone got any ideas?
i did backup my previous rom but since i cant boot my phone into recovery that's not a lot of help...
I might also mention that the phone was running ics 4.0.4. and that the bootloader was locked ( i did have root tho...)
If you want any extra info just ask
Any help would be appreciated thank you
Solution: I did what dara007_168 said, which was:
1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF
2.open flashtool don't do anything
3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware
4.wait for the pop up said
"Turn off your device....."
5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second
6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)
7.wait till it finished done
at first this didn't work for me since i had some problems with the flash tool but then i re-downloaded the older version of the flashtool and the firmware and also reinstalled the drivers.
After that it worked and i could normally flash the generic firmware.

How could you flash the kernel with a locked bootloader?
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool drivers directory, what windows version you have?

Bro u can't flash custom kernel when your bootloader is locked the only way to fix it is to flash back to stock rom via flashtool or Sony update services

Sorry for no reply for so long but i made a video and here's the screenshot of my flashtool
I am using Win 7 64x and i have installed the drivers in the flashtool driver directory.
There is a chance the phones bootloader was unlocked though... i didn't check (honestly i didn't know how)
Video: www [dot] youtube [dot] com/watch?v=Bd6AUF_n2v0&feature=youtu.be
Thanks for trying to help
(sorry i haven't got enough posts to post links)
Edit: I tried using sony update service and it gave me an error stating that the software installed on my device cant be updated... probably becouse it has a half of a custom rom flashed, or am i missing something here?
Bro I think you should flash stock firmware. I think u know how to use flashtool that easy.
1.charge battery until it full i don't know if u can charge battery or not but u should
try. I have the same problem by flash the same rom as your but mine is different it stuck on the boot animation so it can charge but u I don't know
2.download stock firmware
3.flash it
4.done

I should do that. Can you please provide the links to both the Flashtool you are using and the stock firmware, since don't know why the ones i used didn't work.
I mentioned before when i try to copy the firmware file in to the appropriate folder it works, but its just now visible in the flash tool window to select.

The file should be FTF.charge the phone and download it when the download is done the phone is fully charge:sly:

Firmware is flashed in flash mode not fastboot, see how long can you stay in flash mode, though fastboot should be on forever.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
@ dara007_168 I think the phone should be reasonably charged, since i started doing things on it with a full charge and didn't really use it much, so i don't believe that's the problem. I downloaded the firmware u said and again i have the same problem with flash tool... i put the file in the correct folder, but when its time to flash it to the phone (which is correctly connected) it just isn't there, i cant select the the file i downloaded.
@ ChikeD The flash mode stays connected for about 45sec and then it goes into boot loop and about the boot loader i actually think i managed to unlock it a few hours ago (i did the necessary steps on the sony site and got the code before i bricked the phone) and now i entered the number in the flash tool and i think it actually did unlock my boot loader... although i don't know how to check that...
Oh, and fast boot mode stays on forever i think (ill let it charge a bit in fast boot mode, since the red light beside the camera is on so i think its charging)

Yow man, thanks for helping me out like this but there is a problem when i try to do those steps.
At step 3. I select the lightning icon, and the small pop up window appears and i select flash mode, and then
the window opens called Firmware selector, but the firmware is nowhere in that window and i don't know why...
i know where it should be i checked some videos it just isn't there...
Would it help if i posted screenshots of all the steps?
ow and another thing.
would it work if i tried to use fastboot and flash a kernel from that option? or maybe even flash the firmware?
And i guess this might be a useful peace of information, i am using Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

No bro stuck at sony logo i don't think it a kernel problem i think its because of missing system apps like boot animation or something. Can u post a screenshot where u select the firmware?if u can please post a video we are Xda all here to help u

Ok here are the pics, i think everything is clearly visible i cant select the firmware... so flashing a firmware img from fastboot probably wouldn't work either?

NOTE :
you can port any rom from other devices because XMP, XM and LWW brothers. and that is why we are in theard the same. porting means just, replace a few files. So you can do it Replace the hw_config, sensors.conf, copy smultron touch hex firmware file /etc_firmware/ and DELETE mango hex's, and edit the build prop /just replace all sk17 and mango or mini pro lines/. And this is all. Flash the mini kernel and install the rom.but for XMP, you must replace the "usr" to the physical keyboard and some file for the adjustment.
thanks to kamarush
BEFORE WE START THERE ARE SOME REQUIRMENTS TO FLASH A ROM AND KERNEL SUCH AS..
{1}.YOUR Bootloader MUST BE unlocked.I THINK 80% OF ROM NEEDS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER..WITHOUT IT YOU CANT FLASH CUSTOM ROM...
THERE ARE TWO WAYS OR METHODS OF UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER...
(1).OFFICIAL WAY:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/
(2).TEST POINT METHOD:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY IF YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER...
....YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER ON ABOVE LINKS....
{2}.YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE CMW(ClockWorkMode) INSTALL ON YOUR PHONE
HOW TO FLASH CMW IS GIVEN HERE:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741
BEST WAY TO HAVE ROOT AND CMW IS TO FLASH CUSTOM KERNEL.
IF YOU HAVE ABOVE THINGS THEN YOU ARE READY TO GO...
...TO FLASH CUSTOM KARNEL YOU WILL NEED FLASTOOL:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309....

use Flashtool version 0.6.7...open flashtool connect your mobile via usb..check unknown source and usb debugging are on..you have to be in MSC mode instead of MTP mode to get into fastboot mode or flash mod..now to get into fastboot mod click on flash on flashtool 6.7..then there will two mode flashmod and fastboot mod..in flashboot you can flash tft files..and fastboot mode is to flash custom kernel..in fastboot mod just click on reboot into fastboot mode(via adb)..then your device will boot ino fastboot mode..then if you want to flash kernel then click on select kernel to flash..after flashing click on reboot device into system..if your device doesnt boot in to fastboot mode then check weather adb drivers are install or not..

This way I follow you since the first use of the phone and they are successful and you use the flash tool to update the phone with ease
However, this method no longer working, and when applied to the phone continues to take off the battery charging status
I have experience on another computer and another cable but without the benefit of

Hi guys - flashed my x10i a few times and have tried various roms via xrecovery install and all worked fine. I was trying another new rom yesterday and the battery fell out halfway through install. Not sure what has happened, but x10 now stuck on sony ericson boot screen and wont enter xrecovery (i think its not there tbh) and as its stuck on boot screen, I cant select debugging mode. Flash tool wont work as cant enter debugging and when i hook it up to sony service update, it just says newest firmware/software installed.
I have tried, and still trying, one click but that keeps hanging!
Help guys . . . please
Flash a kernel maybe.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I have flashed the downgrade and dooms kernal that came with the flash tool but it only semi flashes as I cant put the x10 in debug mode as cant enter settings due to constant display of boot screen. Really screwed
Did you do a back up?

You dont have to flash downgrade only dooms.

Gone back in to flash tool. selected azuzu kernal and flashed to point where it says to reconnect x10 in debugging mode (which i cant!). Not sure if this was a succesful flash but x10 still stuck at boot screen. Service update still states latest software installed. x10 still bricked. oneclick keeps stating the following:Killing ADB Server...
OK

Do you have the 2.3.3 firmware, perhaps you can flash that.

Perhaps Im not doing something right here, but i was under the impression that you had to be able to select 'allow external/third part software' and 'debugging' from x10's settings in order for the flash tool to do anything. As I cant access any of the x10's settings to turn these functions on, I cant use flash tool?
The only option available inside flash tool is 'flash' which has pre installed kernals from azuzu and when i select flash, it says the following:
flashing kernal.sin - flashing finished - now unplug device and power on - go to apps and select unknown sources and debugging.
Cant do anything as stuck on boot screen when powered on
In SEUS did you try the repair option? Try downloading and flashing a different kernel, I don't think you need debugging on to flash a kernel. Just don't plug phone in until it says to connect in flashmode
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
Flashed with azuzu kernal to point where it asks for power on and unknown sources and still in boot mode.
Just realised that when i power on the phone and connet it to flash tools it doesnt recognise the x10 but does when in flash mode - odd.
checked and laest drivers installed on pc but replaced them and still the same.
I am completely stumped and at the end of my rope now
Cant understand why service update recognised x10 and says latest firmware installed but cant boot.
With custom Rom it's normal for it to say it's 'up to date' but then find the repair button and press it. Without using repair SEUS only checks for stock Rom updates, if non stock Rom installed just says up to date
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
There doesnt appear to be a repair option after it has stated that it is running the latest software. There also doesnt seem to be an option prior too.
I really have had it now. Bringing a grown man to his knees!
I have never had so much trouble with a mobile divice and trying not to throw the paperweight against the wall now!

Guys, no need to panic If you don't mind losing your data, as far as I can see you have flashtool installed, then:
1.- download the generic firmware for your phone (I'm sure you don't really wanna have you carrier branded crapware...errrrrrr..... firmware) you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, in case you get lost, just get it from here http://minus.com/mAla782XK/1f
2.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
3.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
4.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK
5.- It will say "preparing files for flashing"
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes (praying will help........., well maybe not, but will keep you busy haha)
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here, either on home or phone
Sorted it. I downloaded an early version of flash tool (0.7.1.0) and put a stock .ftf in firmware file. flashed like a charm.
X10 no longer bricked

Can you explain with more detail about "connecting to flashmode in flashtool" ?
I read in some posts-connect your phone to flashtool and flash the stock firmware files to get back your phone
I connected my phone with the volume key down to flashtool,but it stated an error and didnt proceed..
You erased everything, obviousely. But Flashtool should still work.
I'll go searching for a user who I know already did the same as you... maybe he'll have useful information

Which error?

Ok, let's do this:

-Turn off the phone
-Press and hold volume down button
-Plug microUSB to the phone

He formatted everything, CWM included.
I installed the flashmode drivers..
It gets stuck at the black sony logo at the start and does nothing,I had to switch it off after removing the battery..
When I connect the phone in flashmode,it says error and says device disconnected and then the phone remains at sony logo..
I'll post the log soon
GOOD NEWS!
I tried flashtool again and this time it WORKED!!
THANK YOU TO ALL
p.s-Now I'm on stock GB .58
Try to flash a different ftf file and see, preferentially an old GB Build.
If this doesn't work,
Try updating to latest Flashtool.
Install the exe at /flashtool/drivers folder.
Then flash again.
Thanks,

Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?
Doesn't work either

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?

Hi there,
my mate gave me his Xperia Z2 asking if I could fix it. He said it's stuck in boot loop. I thought it'd be an easy fix but I am experiencing a problem that I think (I hope I'm wrong) is hardware related.
The phone is indeed stuck on the sony logo and won't go past it. It responds to power+volume up (buzzes 3 times). I can put it into fastboot mode (blue LED, flashtool recognizes the phone in fastboot mode). However, I can't put it into flashmode (LED goes green, but flashtool doesn't recognize it, Windows and Sony Companion doesn't either btw).
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it or is it indeed a hardware issue?
TIA guys
Cheers
Edit: All the drivers are installed, I have tried two different computers, previous flashings were no prob.

Is the bootloader Unlocked???
If yes then try flashing a kernel that has built-in recovery and clean flash a new rom
It may helps
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid the bootloader is still locked, tried to flash a kernel already, it won't let me so I assume it's locked.

Maybe you can unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel(try it at your own risk)
Okay, thanks, will do that. I would have liked to find a way without unlocking the bootloader (wanted so save keys first) but it seems that it's the only way since I can't make it into flash mode. Will give an update after!
Hi there.
Unfortunately I couldn't unlock the bl. I assume, USB debugging isn't enabled. Any ideas?

I think there is some gadgets out there that will force your phone to boot to flash mode(im not sure) or you can search "how to force Xperia phone to boot to flash mode" it may helps
If you cannot access fastboot or flash mode there is nothing you can do
Cool, will do, thanks.
Just to clarify: I can access fastboot mode fine, it's just flash mode that isn't recognized! Will post an update.

Ah, I see. Well, anyway, I tried to find a way to force the phone into flash mode but nothing worked. Very annoying but I think I'm gonna call it quits.

It seems like a firmware issue than a hardware one.
It's either falshtool compatibility issues , a soft-bricked phone or both.
1 - Try using an older version of flashtool like 0.9.18.6 and see if flashmode works.
2 - If you know the current firmware version
you can just flash the stock,signed kernel via fastboot.

Hi there,
my mate gave me his Xperia Z2 asking if I could fix it. He said it's stuck in boot loop. I thought it'd be an easy fix but I am experiencing a problem that I think (I hope I'm wrong) is hardware related.
The phone is indeed stuck on the sony logo and won't go past it. It responds to power+volume up (buzzes 3 times). I can put it into fastboot mode (blue LED, flashtool recognizes the phone in fastboot mode). However, I can't put it into flashmode (LED goes green, but flashtool doesn't recognize it, Windows and Sony Companion doesn't either btw).
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it or is it indeed a hardware issue?
TIA guys
Cheers
Edit: All the drivers are installed, I have tried two different computers, previous flashings were no prob.

Are you sure you have the proper flashtool drivers installed? What's the Windows and Flashtool version? And have you connected any other Xperia device in flashmode mode to the same pc before?
I am saying that it is 90% a driver issue..
-Try disabling Driver signature on Windows 10 or 8 then reinstalling Flashmode AND Xperia Z2 drivers from the folder drivers in the main flashtool folder, then restart the pc..
- Try connecting a different USB cable
- Try connecting to a different USB port..
- And when you want to flash the firmware.. Select flash.. Select the firmware.. Check the wipe options (optional).. Press flash.. And after that when flashtool asks to connect the device in flashmode connect it.. Do not connected it BEFORE pressing flash..
Hope this will help you.. Have a good time..
Bye

Search how to flash kernel through fastboot on sony device or you can use flashtools just connect your phone with fastboot thrn select the thunder button on flashtools and choose fastboot the choose flash kernel
I think you have faced boot loop because you flashed android 8 and didn't flashed kernel
