So i had a custom rom on my xgo, also it was obviously rooted. I used to connect it to the usb port all the time to transfer stuff, but today i connected it to my pc and it said it has an update available, so i was like hey i kind of wanted the stock rom to be installed again, so i said sure. The update (obviously) installed stock rom, but more importantly, it removed my root. Why was that, is sony changing their minds on the rooting community?

the update that you did was stock rom? so was it is normal that happens, companies do not like the users have root access because we will can not uninstalled factory apps.
This is your question? I apologize if I misunderstood

You can always back to your stock ROM by updating phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service.
This may bring back your warranty, but i heard that it isn't for sure.

If SE can't figure out you've messed with their firmware then the warranty is still there.
thanks and what about unbricking? can it happen that my phone will be completely bricked, and theres no way to unbrick it? sorry for my bad english
when you brick phone just flash with Sony Ericsson PC Companion and you will get sock original rom
okeey thanks. can i root my phone? because i have a newer firmware.

I've seen here on xda, a report which says it is still possible. Try to use FlasherTool. It is the best and easiest for rooting and installing xRecovery, just 2 clicks. But I am not sure about the compability of the custom roms. They are made for the previous firmware. Maybe you'll be the first tester. ;-)

Your english isn't bad at all.
No, you don't need anything else. Just to be sure, check the requirements on the first post of the ROM you want to flash.

Hi guys,
I thought I rooted my phone succesfully, but after installing "Fasterfix" from market it said "can't get root".. but I think I know where the problem lies.
Let me explain the situation.
phone:
Sony Xperia U
ST25i
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.7+
Build-number: 6.0.B.3.184 (It was initially 6.0.B.1.... I used SEUS before rooting..)
I'm planning to root my phone so I can use couple of apps to the fullest, that need root acces.
I followed this guide to unlock bootloader: http://www.xperiaplanet.nl/unlockbl.html
I downloaded & installed the fastboot drivers AND the fastboot binaries from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866
I followed this guide to root: http://www.techclap.com/9935/root-sony-xperia-u-lt25i-phone-tutorial/
I used the Stock Kernel for Xperia U from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717270 (this is probably the reason why it is not rooted? I flashed my phone with a non rooted stock kernel?..)
The questions:
1. All the nessecary downloads, the drivers, binairies, kernels, etc etc..., are these made/Edited by users and non official devs, or are these from Sony officially? How can one be sure these things we install on our phone are safe without malicious code? In the end it's made by non-official Sony devs. Correct me if I'm wrong here, I don't want to kick someone in the shin..
2. Why aren't those downloads (drivers, binairies, kernels, etc etc.) not linked to the offical sony website?
3. To just have a rooted phone, without the extra bells & whistels most kernels and roms come with. Is it enough to flash with a stock kernel, like I did?
4. How can I undo everything I have done, and have my stock phone back?
5. When rooted, can I still have an official auto update to ICS?
Yes I have red most of the sticky threads, but still.. I need some help.
Thanks in advance,
Is there an app called superuser in the app drawer?

No, there is not
Then its not rooted. The kernel mustn't have flashed, did you def unlock the bootloader ok?
Look for the Xperia S guides as it's the same method, just use a U kernel instead

Okey thanks m8.
yes the bootloader is unlocked. It says so in the service info menu.
I'll try the flash later. First I want to know for sure if all my date is going to be safe.. I mean, is it safe to use email and other confidential things on a phone that is flashed with custom (non-official) apps and drivers that are made by non-offical people.. I find so very little about security on these topics.. It's like everybody is just flashing and installing third-party software like its nothing.. But you can never now.. What if a dev puts malicious code in a dowload (like the fastboot drivers, fastboot binaries, kernel, ...) that will send thrusty info to him/her..
Can somebody please clarifie this for me?
Just download su from the market and then any root checking app. Maybe you already have root and are just missing the superuser app.
I had to install a superuser app myself too but I rooted with another method.

Now that 7.8 update is coming I'd like to restore my HTC radar to original state.
How shall I proceed to?
At the moment has hspl and custom rom installed.
Thanks in advance

Deinstallation
1. Flash stock ROM via RUU.
-=OR=-
Run HSPL wizard and choose "2.05 - OSPL" to restore stock SPL.
2. Do not forget to make poker face in repair center!

Thanks so much for reply but where do i get stock rom?
As I've read on posts the ones in the forum brick phones. ..
EDIT: Already installed SPL but it gets stuck in HTC bootloop
Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
Whats so special about the OTA update? as compared to the custom 7.8 roms, the update lacks bluetooth support, homebrew app cannot be installed, no office update, no nokia apps limitations and locked OS. Hopefully OTA update based custom roms sprout soon.
Indeed but I want stock on it at the moment.
Any fix for the bootloop?
Thanks
radio?
Well I'm not sure about it.
When i restored spl, it was still having custom rom, so I was thinking, will restore spl be enought to get stock again?
Also, is possible to flash radios with spl?
Thanks

Hi, i actually managed to fix the problem.
What i did was turn the phone off with the OFF key in sd card slot, after that connect phone to pc, in flashtool select flashmode and i successfully flashed firmware 26.1.a.1.128
I tried to do this almost 5 times and it never works for me, and my way to turning off tge device is holding volume up+power button because that Off button in the SD slot don't works in my case

I have for few days the same bootloop on my m4 . Issue started when wifi not worked suddenly and restarted. I found that if i slightly bend(twist) the phone it will boot and works for some time but doing again the same thing.
I suppose that the phone have something loose inside due to my rear jeans pocket where i keep it and maybe being bent.
The phone is in like new condition, no scratches or cracks.
Today i've send it to waranty service. I hope they'll fix it.
Any solution????
I'm very happy now. I was a little concerned about the warranty since the fw was reflashed by me with a generic one via flashtool. No trouble here.
Phone arrived from service, on repair sheet sais: phone motherboard defective, exchanged with a new one due to out of stock of parts.
Bootloader changed from unlock allow- no to unlock allow-yes and whithout operator simlock, and generic central europe fw, no more vodafone bloatware.

So, if I relock the Bootloader I will recuperate the warranty?

Restore the TA partition as well (If you have backed up before unlocking the bootloader) :good:

Hi everyone,
I've recently gotten an Xperia X which I've been using with Sailfish OS, which I've been very happy with.
Sadly I've been having what seems to be a battery issue, and so ideally I need to return it to the seller as a faulty, however as I've unlocked it and installed a new OS I'm weary of this causing awkwardness with the return.
My plan is to try and get it back to stock if possible. I'd ideally like to re-lock the bootloader but understand that I'm not supposed to be able to do this!
My problem is that I don't have any machines running Windows, so could do with a way to flash a completely stock rom that can be done via Linux. I also want to run stock for a day or so to make sure my issue isn't being caused by Sailfish (I've spoken to a few Sailfish X users and none of them have this issue so I'm not hopeful).
Can anyone advise on the best way to get my phone in a generally stock condition?

I didn't unfortunately no. I'm not an expert at this by any means but would it be possible to find and download a full (stock) backup online and flash it? I've also been looking for stock Sony Android rom's to flash on, but with an unlocked bootloader these don't get OTA's so I'm not really sure if I'd be getting the latest and greatest.

Well... You can flash stock rom, but you won't be able to receive OTA updates, I think that there are roms based on stock roms with drm keys fix on the forum, I recommend you to search and try
Enviado desde mi F5121 mediante Tapatalk
I'm not overly worried about OTA updates - just getting rid of the warning on boot, to put my phone back to a completely 'stock' looking setup!
OK so it looks like the fix was far simpler than I was expecting!
I used the xperia-flashtool software, hit the BLU button (usually for bootloader unlocking) and it gave me the option to re-lock it. Job done!
