Hi,
I am using LWW with "cm-10.2_coconut-LX-20131112-NIGHTLY". I have baseband in version: '8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64' and I'd like to update to latest version. How can I do it? If it is possible, I'd like to do it from Linux, if not... I will find Windows
Regards
It's not so difficult to flash it. Download your device FW in .ftf format from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27376024&postcount=3
Then download flashtool from here http://www.flashtool.net/download.php ( it has Linux version ). Install Flashtool, move .ftf file in Firmwares folder in flashtool install dir, then start flashtool. Press lightning icon and choose "Flash mode", select your FW, on Wipe screen UNCHECK everything and check all but Baseband on Exclude screen. Turn off your phone and connect it to computer while pressing Vol- button ( the led must be green ). Then just flash it.

i wanna go back to original rom that comes with xperia neo, but i just imagine how to use flashtool everyone just says "flash with flashtool" someone could give me steps how to do it?? full help needed full and clear steps please thx for help if i get any ^^
Steps to flash with Flashtool
1) Download the firmware you want to flash
2) Put it into the firmware folder in the C:/flashtool folder (or wherever you put the flashtool folder.
3) Run flashtool and click on the lighting symbol (flash button)
4) Select flashmode
5) The firmware folder will open, select the firmware you want
6) Follow on screen instructions to put phone into flashmode
7) when phone is conected in flashmode flashtool will start flashing the software
8) when it is finished disconect phone and if you got the correct firmware it should boot and all will be good.
Alternative you can use Wotan server.
The programm will detect you phone and guide you through the flashing.
But Flashtool is faster, if u manage to use that than do it ^^
Seriously no idea why you guys cannot search a little instead asking every time :/
There is a great guide already made for flashtool.
So trying to fastboot my phone with doomlord Xperiasspeed
I did the command :
Fastboot flash system boot.img
and i changed the name of the xperiasspeed.img to boot.img
Everything said it installed successfully, but now when I press the power button, it vibrates but does not boot.
I can get back into fastboot mode but thats it.
any help or ideas?
thanks
Flashtool.
could you possibly elaborate?
I am downloading the flashtool but what is the purpose and how do you use it?
I'm not an expert but it not sound like bricked device, but rather kernel installation that went wrong.
Just try flashing one more time, or flash your backup. You did a backup aren't you?

Read the docs, there's a nice guide. You can also try the repair feature in PC Companion, but it might require the system to boot, so not sure.

I have downloaded stock LT22_6.0.B.1.654.zip and am wanting to use the flash tool to flash this .img
OK step by step
Your phone could be easily recovered, we can try to do it
1.- have you tried a cold reboot ?? (with the xperia S hold both VOLUME UP key and POWER key during 10 to 15 seconds until device vibrates three times, not sure if it's the same with the P, then press power and check if it boots)
Still stuck??
2.- Download flashtool 0.8.0 and install it from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
-then download the 0.8.6 update and install it too
-then download a STOCK xperia P FTF and put it in the flashtool/firmwares folder (it should be in the root of your har drive, eg.: c:\flashtool\firmwares)
-then, enter flash mode (with the phone off hold VOL DOWN while connecting the USB cable to PC -> the LED will light green) and let your PC install the drivers
-then remove the USB cable, run Flashtool, press the flash button (the thunder icon), select "Flashmode" and click OK, select yourstock firmware for Xperia P and press OK
-When asked, enter flashmode again (flashtool shows an old xperia device, use the proper key combination for your device as stated before) and flash a fresh copy of the stock firmware.
-After flashing is complete, disconnect phone and press power to check if it's all OK.

BEWARE !!
1.- You are very confused my friend, "xperiasspeed" is from krabappel2548, not form doomlord.
2.- The proper commands should be:
To flash a boot image:
Code:
fastboot flash [B]boot[/B] boot.img
To flash a system image:
Code:
fastboot flash [B]system[/B] system.img
I am not sure what did you download from krabappel2548, but it seems you flashed a "boot" image to your phone's "system" image
You are mixing stuff up
Please read this guide before attempting anything again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another advice:
Fastboot and Flashtool are different ways to flash.
To flash with flashtool you enter flash mode -> press the VOLUME DOWN key -> LED turns GREEN
To flash with fastboot you enter fastboot mode -> press VOLUME UP key -> LED turns BLUE

When I hold down the Volume Down button and connect my Xperia P to flashtool, the notification LED goes green but the window with the old Xperia device doesn't go away and after a while the green LED turns red and the screen shows the charging animation.
I can enter CWM while the device powers up but I can't mount USB storage. My bootloader is locked and I tried to install the .54 small app tweak on my .544 (I didn't think it'd be an issue, but I was wrong! I'm a n00b. Nu H8 Pl0x )
I've also tried using the Sony Update Service but it can't detect my firmware because it can't detect my phone in Flash mode
Someone please help me. I've searched everywhere but couldn't find a solution.
I have the same problem, did you ever get this solved?

Check these websites. It will help.
If you are still confused about the process, ask again specifically!
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
I have followed the beginners guide as follows:
Check your phone software/firmware number by going to settings>about phone>build number
If you are on any GB firmware use flashtool guide in second post
If you are on ICS firmware (6.1.B.0.544 or 6.1.B.0.550 or 6.1.B.0.559) ,then
Download Rooting tool by Bin4ry from here
Extract it using 7zip/Winrar etc.
Double click the RunMe.bat and select 1. i.e normal phone option
Backup and restore app will open
Select RootMe.tar and click on restore
Follow instructions and bongo you are rooted
If you are on ICS firmware version (6.1.1.B.1.54 or 6.1.1.B.1.75), then
Download flashtool from official flashtool website
Install it on your PC using onscreen instructions.It will create a folder "Flashtool" in your drive(C\Flastool)
Now go to C\Flastool\drivers\flastool-drivers.exe and click on it and install it after marking/checking "xperia p,xperia u,xperia sola drivers" which is below there on the list
Download the file from here-
Now copy the files "Xperia P LT22_6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.ftf" , "Xperia P LT22_6.1.B.0.599_Kernel.ftf" and "Xperia P LT22_6.1.1.B.0.75_Kernel.ft and paste them in "C\Flastool\Firmwares" in PC.
Now keep "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry-XP" folder in the dekstop as it is.
Now for your SXP.Go to 'settings>developer options>USB Debugging">'mark/check this option
Open flashtool from PC.
Click on the "flash" icon of the flashtool which is on the left side of the iconic tab(below the 'file' option-it's like a lightning sign).a window will be opened Mode Selector.Check "FlashMode" and press "ok" button.
You will see "Xperia P LT22 version 6.1.B.0.599" on the options.single click on that .uncheck "exclude kernel" (on the right side) and check "no final verification" and press the "ok" button.
A window will be opened saying to connect your device.switch off your phone for 30 secs.now connect the USB cable to PC(not on your device).now press down the vol.down button and hold it while connecting the USB to your phone.[now the flashtool will start flashing.but if you are doing for the first time sometimes the drivers are not able to detect the drivers of your phone and the phone starts charging in a normal way instead of flashing.don't worry.Disconnect the USB from phone only.wait for 10-20 secs.repeat from step v again and then connect your device while pressing vol.down button.the flashtool will detect your device and start flashing.)
You will be able to see percentage below.after it is finished it will be written there.disconnect USB cable from your phone only after watching it.
Restart your phone.
Go to your dekstop on PC.open the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry-XP" folder.
Click on "RunMe.bat" .a commend promt window will open on your PC.
now write only "1" (Normal Phone) in the "Make a choice" section
it should be like this.
Make a choice : 1 [Hit enter then]
It will promt to connect your device in debugging mode.Connect the USB to your phone with debugging mode turned on.now the Command Promt Window will do its work and it will say to you to open your "backup and restore" app.
Get your phone in your hand.open "app drawer>back up & restore" and hit the "restore" button.
The phone will be restarted in a while.
now you will see "super user" or "superSU" app on your app drawer.that means your phone is ROOTED successfully.
Restart your device again.(just for being safe)
Phone is rooted but the kernel is of previous version 6.1.B.0.599.So we have to reflash "6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.ftf" or 6.1.1.B.1.75_Kernel.ftf to the phone using Flashtool again.
Open flastool.watch step v and do the same.but select the "Xperia P LT22 version 6.1.1.B.1.54" or "6.1.1.B.1.75_Kernel.ftf"option instead of the previous ".599".now check and uncheck as the same before and flash your device pressing "ok" button.
Disconnect the phone.FINISHED.
Enjoy Rooting
Completed successfully. Installed clockwork mod like this:
Download the zip package from this thread
Extract the folder using zip/winrar
Connect your phone to the pc with USB debugging on
Click on install.bat
Completed successfully.
However I am now stuck trying to flash a boot.img file using fastboot over adb. It tells me that I do not have root privileges despite the fact this all worked and I have SuperSU installed on my phone. Does anyone have any advice?
For reference I am trying to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130986 using the locked bootloader version.
Did you download the file for locked bootloader?
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 have the Japanese z2 so-03f and want to get rid off all the docomo junk and also go to android M from lolipop. But I have tried a few different firmwares and they all end with me having no sim detected. This is using Sony mobile flasher and xperifirm. Right now I am using Australian custom firmware which I thought would be fine as all my Australian phones have worked in Japan. But my so-03f with Australian or generic European firmware dosnt work.
What can I do other than to revert to stock docomo firmware?
This is FTF file for you version SO-03F https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...079&parId=D8C1923911B5E6B3!1742&action=locate
Install fia Flash tool :
1. Download and install Flashtool on your PC : http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
2. Download the firmware you need (from the list below) and move the .ftf file into the directory C:/Flashtool/firmwares
3. Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"
4. Select the .ftf file of what you downloaded and click on "Flash"
5. Wait for a window to pop up (it may take a few seconds/minutes, just be patient)
6. Now turn off your phone and connect the usb cable to it
7. Push the volume-down button, keep pushing and connect the other end of the usb cable to your PC
8. Once the flashing process has started, you can release the volume button
9. NEVER disconnect the USB cable until it's finished!
10. Turn on and wait for the boot process to complete.
good luck

Thanks for taking the time to reply. But wont that put it back to docomo firmware? The version number seems the same as the one I was on. I want to be able to get off their firmware if possible.
Wait.. I might have fixed it. I flashed the NTT docomo firmware but only included the AMSS files, whatever they are. It apears they have something to do with the modem I guess.
SWEET! it works.
OK so for anyone with a SO-03F you can flash to Australian Generic MM android 6.0, but dont include the AMSS files nor include the partition file. This way you keep your network and keep the extra 16gb over the normal z2.
