Hey guys!!
I had a Xperia X8 with a custom ROM. Yesterday I bought a Xperia U!
It is of the Tim , the Mobile Company ( there are so many useless apps!! ) . Now, I'd like to mod my Xperia U.
I know that there are 150.000.000 threads about this, I read them, but I'm never secure and I prefer to have some info updated, excuse me!!
So, I'd like to know if I can do some things, and yes, how to!
General info of my phone :
Number model : ST25i
Android : 2.3.7
Basement (?) ( I'm not english, I think this is the correct word! ) : u8500-49020604-R1G_EC14
Kernel : 2.6.35.7+ [email protected] #1
Build : 6.0.B.3.184
Today, I'm going to update my phone with PC Companion.
Then, I'd like to root my phone.
After, I'd like to do a FULL WIPE, so I can have a clean phone ( I think I need CWM Recovery )
I'd like also put a Custom ROM and after, unlock the bootloader ( it isn't risky on XU, right? ) and put a custom kernel.
Thanks in advice guys!!
P.S If I can these things, I must follow a specific order?
Welcome to the forum of devices of novathor which means cm based roms are bound to have bugs. Usually just follow the OP you will be fine. Remember. Whatever you do here, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DEVELOPERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES. Enough shouting there sorry just wanted to make my point so yeah. Upgrade to ics and just search around how to root your build of ics.

Hey thanks for reply.
I updated to android 4.0.4, everything ok
Now I'm trying to flash a firmware without brand with flashtool, but I can't!! It says always that I need to install drivers..
But I already installed them!! I have also rebooted the PC. But flashtool doesn't recognize the drivers.. I don't know what to do!!
Do you have pc companion? My win 7 pc is fully configured to flash without qny problems but i have problems with my win xp pc.....I am still working out on how to solve the problem.

Which flashtool you have?
If you flashed with PCC driver must be already installed and functional.
So, this is what I did :
I downloaded PC Companion, then I connected my phone ; the program asked me first to reboot my phone while it was connected to PC. Ok I rebooted it bla bla bla.. the PC found the phone. After I selected SupportZone for the update. I booted the phone in flash mode and everything ok. Now I'm on Android 4.0.4.
But now I want the official firmware, without the brand. So I must have Flashtool ( I have version 0.9.13.0 ) , anyway I have Windows Ice XP v6 Service Pack 3.
Inside the flashtool folder there is a "drivers" folder, with an .exe . I started it and I selected the drivers of Xperia P , U , Sole and Fastboot and flashmode drivers. At the end, this popup :
Code:
http://i40.tinypic.com/11kf8tc.jpg
So.. ok ok and ..
Code:
http://i41.tinypic.com/2hztws7.jpg
Everything seems ok. After I rebooted the PC. Then I putted the ".ftf" on the firmwares folder. Then I started Flashtool, clicked on the bolt, "flashmode" , selected the firmware and then "Flash". Ok, it said "Preparing files for flashing".
When the instructions appears, I boot my phone on flashmode, everything seems ok but...

WTF?? Anyway I noticed that, under right, popup a message with " new hardware found " and after a bit it says " error during the installation of hardware". If I click on it, nothing appears.
And, if I click ( on flashtool ) on Devices and then Check Drivers..

Hello guys,
I´m new here, and before everyone starts throwing stones on me , I´ve already tried some steps and got stuck (the welcome video is awesome! hehe).
Well, I tried to update my android on my phone, and after the reboot, got stuck on sony ericsson title screen.
1. I searched over the internet same issues, and i got this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602489 .
2. I followed Someguyfromhell indications at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
3. I got the flash tool , PC companion, base drivers, and the ftf file for flashing.
4.After install flash tool, selected the ftf file, and got this message :
05/019/2012 14:19:47 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I think the rom file is not compatible with my phone (2010 production date).
I tried to find other ftf files, without success.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Use the repair option in PC Companion to restore your stock firmware if at all possible.
After that, you can tell us how you tried to update the android on your phone, like: what did you want to update it to, which rom did you choose, what steps did you take...
By the way... the links you provided were for 2011 devices, Experia Mini and Mini Pro
the 2010 devices are Experia x10 mini and x10 mini pro. Different hardware altogether, I know it's confusing but please be careful where you choose your new software from
Don't feel too bad though, we've all made mistakes, just try to be a bit specific as to what you did first that made your phone get stuck, we can go from there.
well
Hello Guys,
After a loong search i found one ROM who fits with my cellphone - kind of old one.
I followed the steps on flashtool and "recovered". Sometimes it acts strange : if I turn off, it's very difficult to turn on in normal ways.. i need to plug on usb or re-flash... and if I switch the sim card, sometimes works, sometimes not...
Now its stable, but I think something is wrong.
and i got this information about my current version status :
Model : U20i
Firmware Version : 1.6
Kernel : 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Compilation Number : 1.1.A.0.8
Is there any possibility to upgrade my android version?
use the upgrade option in PC Companion
Again... what rom did you download, what steps did you take.. be specific when you ask questions, and please, let us know if you tried the advice given when you ask a question

I already try used MiniCM7 and MiniCM9 with nAa kernel, and its work fine to my E10i.

What device do you have?
Did you install the proper kernel?
What does your phone do when you turn it on after flashing?

Hey XDA Community
I had to get a replacement Sony Xperia Z Ultra recently due to a fault and have now received a new handset but i am having alot of trouble with it this time round when it comes to either flashing/rooting/unlocking
heres my previous thread i made before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446766&highlight=unbranded
I cant for the life of me flash this new handset :S
All drivers are installed correctly, and have latest version of flashtool even updated the handset to the latest
build number 14.1.B.2.257
I keep getting the message saying error please install drivers etc etc
but the drivers are installed and correct
also i tryed to root the phone but no success as i think i read the build number i am now on cant be rooted so fair enough, i wanna flash this phone with the unbranded file in my previous thread but i seem to be stuck as i cant get the flashtool to work
is there another way
Hey hey! I got the same problem as you and guess what, it was Flashtools fault.
I installed 3 different versions and flashtool-0.9.12.1-windows worked for me!
So I recommend that you try 11, 12 and the latest being 13.
cools i did try another version but got the same crap will try other versions of flashtool
damn... same problem get the same message install drivers flash aborted

And you're 100% sure that you installed the drivers from the folder? So when you connect the phone there aren't any triangles in device manager? I had loads of trouble installing drivers and then realized I had to turn off driver signature check on Windows 8.
When I installed drivers I could flash with version 12. I really just recommend you to uninstall and reinstall. I reinstalled a couple times.
Makes me wonder why.
i just updated to windows 8.1 how do i turn off signature check?
i managed to get it turned off now and drivers are installed now but still get the same message

Reinstall Flashtool. Reinstall between 12 and 13 a couple times.
Thats what I did.

I disabled driver signature verification (by googling 'disable driver signature windows 8.1'), then re-installed the drivers (Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe in my case, but you should try with the latest ones!), then it worked.
bcdedit is your friend. See this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553484(v=vs.85).aspx

you can find the driver in local disk C or program file where you have install flashtool, you can find file driver, and then you open flashtool-driver.exe, just follow prosedure (click next) choose your type driver and finish it until the end.
after that you just flash the phone as usual.

Unless somebody else can come up with a better idea, you could try Sony's Emma flash tool to completely re-install the software on your tablet. (It is for tablets & phones)
NOTE
- THIS IS FOR DEVICES WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
- THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA ON INTERNAL SD !
You can find instruction & downloads here
Thanks for your reply. I have tried Emma but Emma couldn't flash because the Tablet is Locked. I tried the sony unstructuions for unlocking, received an unlock code, but if i want to unlock the tablet the instruction in the CMD on my Desktop can't find the device. So i stopped with this option.
Perhaps you have some other options i can try. The easy options you can find in the fora i have already done without succes .

redownload stock ROM, it seems that your is corrupted. Also use latest flashtool, as earlier ones won't flash kitkat without errors.
Thanks again for your reply.
I use Flashtool version 0.9.18.1. As i can find this is the latest version. And i have used at least 10 Stock Roms but no one was succesfull.
Do you have an idea which Stock Rom should work for mij Sony Tablet SGP312 with in wordking status versio 4.4.2 on it. I am getting a bit nervous with the idea that my tablet form € 400,= is finished and i never can use it anymore (and i realy love the sony tablet).
In the worse case do you know if there is a last escape to get the tablet started again?
Greetings,
Herman.

try to flash any existing firmware for SGP312 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and see if it works. Also check for all drivers to be properly installed.
But first of all check your usb cable, i know it sounds strange, but i got all kinds of errors while flashing with one cable, when i changed it, flash process finished successfully.
My Sony SGP312 works again!!
I have done, after yor suggestions, the next things:
Started with the latest version of the flashtool on a Windows XP Desktop;
Installed the drivers via the Flashtool;
Downloaded the custo rom, again via the Flashtool (versio 18);
Started the Flash procedure.
And after 10 minutes the flashprocedure ended succesfully and my Sony styarted again.
I'm so happy it was succesfull and that i can use my Xperia tablet again because i love the sony sgp312 .
Thanks for your help,
Herman.
hi everyone,
this is really strange! i'm trying to flash my Xperia X F5121 (single sim) using flashtool , but it doesn't recognize it as the Sony X Series are not in the devices list... please check the screenshot i included below. and BTW, im using the latest Flashtool version, downloaded 2 days ago from it's official page!
PROBLEM SOLVED!
the issue was that when i installed the latest version of Flashtool, it didn't update/refresh the "devices" folder that contains the latest Xperia series, but instead it kept the old one which has the Z5 series as the latest added devices. this is the reason Flashtool was not seeing my Xperia X as recognizable device.
SOLUTION:
What i did is, i installed Flashtool in another laptop (for the first time). when it created the "devices folder" i went there and i was surprised seeing all X series included, also my X was finally recognizable.
very easy step... i went to C:\Users\Username\.flashTool\devices, then I selected all the X series folders.. pasted them in "devices" folder of my old computer, and this is is. It was able to recognize my Xperia X. (of course all drivers MUST BE installed)
For the FSC error in Nougat ftf...
what I did is, i went to "F51XX" folder, and then did the rename under any ftf file you wish, and make it look like that: "F5121_34.2.A.0.273.fsc" then Flashtool will notify you that a NEW FSC detected, then there is a msg will popup just click on continue, and it will fully flash a new fresh Nougat firmware...
special thanks for anyone who have contributed in helping me in here.
special thanks to @josh_zombie for explaining how to skip the FSC error...
thanks for you all
I think this is because your device is not connected in debug mode. You can enable by tapping on the build number a few times then enable debug mode.

All driver installed, out of the flashtool folder?

in flashtool folder the Xperia X is not listed in the Xperia driver list!
The drivers for the x are out in the wild, you'll need to google for the drivers and install them manually.

Yeah, but you must install 2 drivers for the flashtool. And the other driver with the companion prog.

all drivers are installed... but the problem is that the X series are not listed in Flashtool device list!
also when i browse the Xperia X ftf firmware it doesn't show it, it's like it doesn't recognize it... how people flash their Xperia X then?

You misunderstood! Flashtool don't recognize your device becouse your driver is wrong, version of Flashtool doesn't matter. I use Flashtool 2 years old and that now? I have no problem with flashing any ROM... Flashtool is just instrument for flashing, but installed driver recognize your device

no my driver is correct, i downloaded it from Sony website.. but i think it's Flashtool problem!
even when i browse ftf firmware for Xperia X Flashtool doesn't recognize it.... it's downloaded by Xperifirm and the bundle was created in Flashtool itself but when it comes to browse .... it doesn't see it at all!
Here's the driver pack i use for mine.

thanks for the link
well, i also downloaded and installed the same drivers... just a question to make it more clear... when you use flashtool or if you already used it to flash, didn't pop up a menu asking you to enter the model name in the list?
for me it did because flashtool didn't recognize my Xperia X and as i said. it wasn't listed!
thanks for the help

Yes it asked me to install drivers too, all you need to do is follow the prompts upto where it fails to find the drivers and then browse to them and install them manually then it should work fine. Have you got adb enabled across your entire system i think that helps.

ok i will try to do it again.... if you talking about USB DEBUG and UNKNOWN RESOURCES both are enabled... but if not about that, then what adb refers to?
if you can show me screenshots in how it worked for you, at least it would help me more!
thanks!
What firware are you traying to flash? FlashTool is not compatible with Android 7. I have the same problem when trying to flash Android 7 on XPERIA XZ. With Android 6.0.1 I don't have problems.

forgot to point out, its not the flashtool for s1 devices or whatever, its the sony mobile flasher by androxyde
The error is for the rooting option, just wait for it to prepare the files and after a few minutes it should show you the pop up window to connect your phone and hold the buttons.
Also 9.18 had some problems I'd recommend using 9.15 for flashing Kitkat.

I wish you luck, if you've replaced your broken display before it doesn't work with custom roms. Only the stock roms and a few custom ones based on stock will work. Also saw someone using Xperia companion to fix things but you have re-lock your bootloader.
