Hi,
I don't know how to get out this time...
I installed Zellycream on my rooted Xperia Mini ST15i (4.0.4) with locked BL, after installing CWM with X-Parts.
After booting up, fonts were not readable so I installed it again, forgetting to wipe before
Now I'm stuck in a bootloop without CWM (due to locked BL) and PC companion tells me that there is no software available.
Flashtool does not work with locked bootloader as far as I understand (I tried but it didn't work either).
Is there any option left I missed or can I throw it away?
Flashtool works great on locked bootloader. Just flash the stock rom .ftf in flashmode using flashtool and it'll work

yup... just like Mihahn said.. Flashtool works with locked and unlocked BL.. maybe you need to re-instal your adb driver on your PC so the flashtool will able to read it and works for you...

Is there a Clockwork Recovery Mod for the x10?
After a couple of lunchtimes spent searching for it I'm still at a loss!
There is CWM, but only for unlocked bootloaders. It gets installed when you flash custom kernel for unlocked BL, and I think using flashtool (latest version), you can install CWM from there too. But not 100% sure on the flashtool part
For locked BL, we have Xrecovery

Thanks!
I unlocked the phone last week and installed cyanogenmod
When running ROM Manager from inside the OS it seems to think that Clockwork isn't installed and it can't seem to flash it either.
Will have a look at flashtool again
Heya, I'm using .67 Firmware w/ Bootunlock, Rooted. I tried to update .73 Firmware in Sony PC Companion, it's new released version. Have any way to update it?
If you have installed the doom kernel and the recovery correctly, just restart in flashboot mode (blue led) and you can flash some 0.73 prerooted stock rom which you can downloadd from the xperia s android dev.
You can not use pc companion to update your phone when your bootloader is unlocked,
Thats why there is a re lock method, when relocked you can use the se software again
But will loos root probarbly

Going back to stock with PC Companion does NOT relock your bootloader, so you don't need to unlock it again. Check with S1Tool, you will probably see your phone is still bootloader-unlocked
i already relocked the phone and when to companion and don flashing or recovery but it is not working
hi all, I am a beginner in android.
I was trying to flash a custom kernel and rom for my Mini pro by following the tutorial thread. I rooted my Mini pro and unlock the bootloader. Busybox and cwm-auto installer were also installed.
However, when I tried to install kernel by fastboot and result said the device is not rooted. I tried again with flashtool but result was just the same. I had already rooted my device several times and therefore I dont understand where the problem is.
Please help. Thanks for your answers first:victory:
Did you place your phone in fastboot mode(blue LED)?
Which way did you unlock your bootloader?
Rooting can't affect the kernel installation at all. Doesn't matter if you are rooted or not, it should work anyways.
For use flashtools to update kernel you must open your boot loader and flash it easy, kernel update no need to root your device. Because you try update in fastboot or flash mood .
I think your problem is other things example boot loader not opened or ...

I have rooted my device on 6.1.A.0.452 and I wanna update it but it can't be updated because of the root (I tried to update it from Sony PC companion and phone updates it self and i failed ). So anyone give links to flash the new rom without any change
because you have rooted your phone im assuming you've unlocked your phone, you cant update your phone if you have unlocked your phone,
if u want to update via seus or pc companion you have to relock it again.
relocking bootloader
or if u just want to flash latest update, flash it via flashtool,
flashtool
firmwares
thanks for the reply and the links.
But I can flash without relocking it. Right ?!
I Guess I rooted it without unlocking the boot screen.
