Hello guys, I know it could sound really weird for you all, but here's my point: I just bought an Xperia Mini on eBay from a user claiming he had received it directly from Sony Ericsson as a free sample. I received it yesterday, it was unpacked and was sold together with the battery charger only. Nothing too strange.
By the way, after about half an hour I realized the phone had a front camera.
Ok, I watched the video and i know I'm a noob on XDA. But I'm no stupid
So don't tell me it's the light/proximity sensor! I wouldn't be here! It's a working front camera, since I can switch between this one and the "normal" one and take pictures. Here is a picture of the phone:
EDIT
Looks like I can't post links, so I'll just skip this step
Anyway, the other strange thing is that the phone comes with Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368, and I can't update it. Not directly from the phone, nor using PC Companion. It just keeps saying the software is up to date.
So... have you ever heard of something like this? What should I do?
What is the phone model in the settings?
Model ST15i
I wrote to the seller, and he just answered me: he says that, working for a company that create applications for iOS and Android, they usually get five samples for each model. This is one of those. It could be, as I thought, a sort of "prototype". The thing is: I am grateful for the front camera, but I'd like to be able to get software updates, and this seems impossible. And also, I suppose that updating through "unofficial" ways would take to the impossibility of using the front camera.
i'm thinking of sending it back and buying a new one
I'm really envious right now...
really curious now.. Try adding photo's with the attachments feature !
where are you from?
can you share the link where you buy?
sorry for my bad english
Here's the picture of the phone... I wouldn't be envious at all, anyway. I have a couple of days to understand if I can update the phone, if updating causes the impossibility of using the front camera, and if - even worse - it can cause hardware incompatibilities, crashes, explosions or else. Then I have to decide if I want to send it back or not.
D'oh.
That's pretty cool... But it absolutely sucks that you can't update the firmware..
Maybe you can contact Sony and ask if there is any way to update..

I doubt it... it looks like this is a "test" version that was long ago abandoned by developers... anyway, I'd rather buy a new phone. It's easier xD
@ahzoe
I'm italian and I bought it from a private seller, so I have a UNIQUE piece... wow, sooooo cool... lol

Do you want to buy it for 135 €? That's what I spent to get it...
If I was you, I wouldn't contact Sony about it
If it was a test product, don't think they will be happy that an Xperia Mini is roaming around in the wild with a front camera. In my opinion if you really want to update, flash a ROM that is made for the Xperia Mini Pro, then you might be able to use the front camera. There is barely any difference between the XMP and XM then the HW keyboard and the Front camera.
an update is not necessary. you can flash a custom roms

Well... how do I create a backup copy of my firmware? Because I'm not sure it's the same as the "normal" 4.0.A.2.368. By the way, if I flash a new ROM on my device, what happens if I try to restore to the original manifacturer firmware? Does the phone keep it in memory, or does it restore to the new, "clean" firmware?
Sorry for my bad English, I don't know how to explain it better -__-

Install CWM recovery and do a backup maybe it will work if anything goes wrong
This phone is original?
What you could do is flash any Rom you want, that is from a Stock Rom. BUT! Always back up your system so that you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
If you need any help on how to's and stuff like that just tell me and ill help you out.
I'm curious by this system
You can root, install recovery CWM and send me one backup?
at least you can use face unlock after the official ics update
My sony live with walkman screen went really dim and then blank . I did a hard reboot by removing and re-installing the battery. The phone comes back on but the screen is blank. I can swipe and feel the vibration you get from unlocking the phone but still just a black screen. The bottome keys are also lit up...if i press them i can feel the vibration...evn i cn recive a call talk do every think..only problem nothing is visible on screen just a blank black scree.....
I tried reinstalling android 4.0 again with pc companion..after reinstalling android it works fine for 1 or 2 days and after it again the same problem starts....
please help me.....
Thanks!
If I were you I would claim warranty (on locked bootloader/unrooted)
my phone has exactly the same problem as yours, unfortunately all things including flash stock rom, unbricking using .ftf on the first aid thread, change kernel, none of those work
Have you tried using SUS(Sony Update Service? It's a really awesome program. Google it.

well in my case it's not actually a really blank screen, the screen is pretty dark it look likes it showing nothing but when you put it next to a very bright light like lamp, you could see that the phone is actually on and showing the lockscreen. i have try almost everything, Using SUS, Flashtool, changing kernel, i even relock my bootloaer, but still same. in the thread i make they told me that it is a hardware failure, i guess it is true, maybe due to overheating issue because after i google it some xperia ray user encounter the same problem, and what scares me that some of the user say that what broken is the motherboard, so there is no hope for the phone, but after i do some deep research, there still some little hope by changing the LCD, but the sparepart is still shipped. i hope after i change the LCD everything would be fine, since i have void the warranty, but if you still have your warranty, claim it, maybe you can get a clean new phone :good:

I also have the same problem but i fixed it. The problem is in the software itself and not the LCD Screen. I observed something At first when you install the software it works fine, but after you charge it on the first time, the problem occurs. I was using Real ICS r6 and also i have this problem in my xperia mini pro but i observed that the problem was in the software. the developer himself did something wrong he replaced the mini pro system with lww so i corrected it and it worked for me. so if you are using a custom rom, just contact the developer to fix it for you. HOPE I helped you.

THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR HARD BRICKED DEVICES.
HARD BRICK MEANS NO FLASHMODE AND NO FASTBOOT.
IN ORDER TO PROCEED DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR DEVICE IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU HAVE WARRANTY,STOP READING THIS, GO THE SONY SERVICE AND PLAY STUPID.
AS AFTER OPENING YOUR DEVICE, YOUR WARRANTY IS 100% VOID.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Let's get started.
1. Download tools.7z from attachments and pack for your device.
2. Install ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe
3. Open the back cover of your device.
4. Find the test point (See attachments).
5. Disconnect a battery, connect a usb cable. LED RED will start to blink.
6. Using the paper clip connect your test point with the GND. I used the metal shield in the middle of the motherboard.
7. Open the device manager, you should see SEMC Flash Device. If no, you did something wrong.
8. Disconnect your phone from computer.
9, Repeat the step 5.
10.Run the s1tool and select S1 MSM8974 EMERGENCY for the phone type.
11. Press the flash button, and choice the APP file for your device.
12. Press testpoint ready and repeat the step 6.
13. Remove the testpoint and press READY, when program will ask you to do so.
14. If flash was successful, you may disconnect your phone from usb, connect your battery and try to boot.You may have to charge your battery.
15. Now you can flash your device normally using software.
P.S.
I was not be able to flash on windows 8 64bit, but I flashed without problems on XP.
I would like to thank:
the_laser for making the software.
myevilface from support.setool.net for finding testpoint for c69xx.
and my poor Z Ultra which I sacrificed trying to find the test point
Actually I finished him when I wanted to fix audio jack.
Was to happy that my device is fixed and damaged the screen connector
UPDATE:
Tool for converting TA.img to TA_unbrick.SYN_FILE_SET
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I helped you to save money, you can buy me a beer or two, which is cheaper than a new motherboard.
Maybe stupid question : Do you think with this testpoint mode there is a way of unlocking Bootlader although it is not permitted by the provider?

@the_laser, there are some poor souls on the Xperia Z who have the same problem by flashing a Sammy recovery to their Z which destroyed their bootloader as well...
They still seem to have some life in their mobile reporting it as a qcom device to windows (reconnecting over and over again), if I send some or one of them over to you by pm, would you be able to help them too?
This is REALLY AWESOME. :highfive:
Call me crazy, but I'm actually a bit excited to see somebody post that they totally recovered their phone to a 100% working state :victory:
And brought to us by 2 guys that aren't even "senior members" yet LOL

Right after I brick my phone, I knew that it will be fixed without motherboard replacement.
And I was exited too, when it was recovered. Too exited. Now need a new motherboard for sure.

Btw good job!!
I see bootloader files for XZU 6802 and 6806. Would either work for the 6833 international LTE variant ?
I am very interested in trying this - my bricked XZU is already disassembled and I would love to wake it up. And thank you for putting all of this together !
edit: just checked C6802.7z and C6806.7z and they contain an identical file - so guessing C6833 will be the same.
Woot woot!!! I love you guys! I should have checked xda before i left for work.
Guess I need to find windows XP PC as I'm running Win 8 64.
Pure Awesomeness.

I came from an s3, flashed it to death, I'm getting withdrawl...
I Understand that unlocking the bootloader on the z1 broke various things.
Like camera (although I believe thats resolved in the latest update) and also the x reality?
Except I've read that unlocking the bootloader on z2 would lead to less quality on my camera?
Is this true?
Also, on z1 and other xperia phones, didn't they manage to enable xreality even without locked bootloader?
So, my question is simply this: without mentioning warranty
What do I lose by unlocking my bootloader, and anything thats lost could potentially get restored unofficially?
and could someone also interested in unlocking the bootloader, take some pictures before and after the unlock... please?
Things that are lost after unlock
DRM Keys
Warranty
Things that break:
X-Reality
OTA Update/any kind of update through sony pc companion or update service
Things that change:
All of the above
Updating and stuff , or anything at all. Just ask

Dear Jacek,
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia™ Online Support.
In regards to the email that we receive from you about what you loose when you unlock the bootloader, we can tell you that the features that the phone has intergated you are able to keep them like the one that you mentioned. We are sorry for any incovenience this may cause. Thank you for been part of the Sony Xperia™ Family.

I mentioned X-Reality and BIONZ. I don't know how reliable this answer is... Seems quite vague.

Thanks for the replies guys.
So it seems nothing is lost...
Ota isn't an issue since.. Well we'll be flashing tweaks anyway.
X reality and camera is the thing I was most worried about and their email reply seems to confirm they're preserved.
So what are the drm keys for!!?

thanks for testing that, i heard there was ps4 camera connectivity.
For example: using playroom, draw on phone, the object comes to life on your camera ps4 screen and can be interacted with.
Seems a petty thing to ask but I just want the full lowdown on whats lost via unlock, this seems to be a sony exclusive z2 and z2tab feature so I'm wondering.. do drm keys affect ps4 interactivity in that way?
My XReality and "offers" are working just fine. I also updated to 17.1.A.2.55 yesterday through companion...
I was thinking about this the other day, if the drm keys (ta folder) are exclusive to each handset and sony themselves provide key for bootloader unlock, wouldnt sony be able to provide the folder if we supplied the serial number, imei etc. Obviously i'd be better off asking sony, just wondered what others thought? I can't see any reason why they wouldnt be able to, but can maybe understand why they may not want to

Can someone confirm that nothing important (except the warranty) is lost after unlocking bootloader ?
I dont't mind OTA updates and special offers.
If X-Reality, OTA updates and Some Xperia Market apps are not important then unlocking your bootloader is a big plus

Ok, I will wait before unlocking my device, I want to know exactly what I'll lose. For the moment, noone seems able to report precisely what is lost... It's really a shame...
Then, maybe a method to backup TA partition will be found sooner or later.

Yeah I am going to wait and see what happens. Now that more are getting the phone we will recieve more data and hopefully more people can look for exploits. Who knows maybe we don't even need to unlock the bootloader :victory:
Hello everyone. New Z2 owner here, long history with android though! I tried searching around but found a little bit of information before posting. I have a D6503, build number 17.1.2.A.0.214 (ATT USA) and i cant seem to figure out what broke my playstation app. When i first opened the phone yesterday everything worked well, this morning i unlocked bootloader (didnt back up my TA keys im such an idiot) and that was successful. Really wish i did more research on backing up my DRM keys, first sony phone and lesson learned.
I didn't flash a rom, nor do i have root and still giving me an error when trying to sign in over and over. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even factory flashed a tf file like it just came out the box. What could be wrong? I know once you unlock bootloader you lose DRM keys, but did unlocked break my playstation app? Any helped would be appreciated.
Error code: 0X82E01003
Anyone?

i have xperia z2 and i have also unlocked bootloader my DRM keys lost forever,
im having exactly the same issue, justthatmy app was working 4 weeks ago with no problems, and by that time my bootloader was already open so maybe its not an error related to the DRM keys, still i dont know why doesnt allow me to sign in on my Z2
does anyone solved it?

and error C-80F80A01 on remote play
Same errors here, ive tried asking if its related to drm but didnt get a response, uninstalling updates for playstation app from the play store will make it work, not getting anywhere with remote play tho, i think drm keys may have been added with new version because i dont see many people complaining that its not working, the few who have complained have unlocked bootloaders and Z3 forums have remote play confirmed broke if bootloader unlocked.
However if this is the case then i cannot understand how people have it ported and running on non sony phones....... for the record i cant get the port working either

Im off to annoy sony on there live chat, will report back in the unlikely event i chat to a sony staff that knows what theyre on about lol
Well after a long chat with sony chat support, i didnt get a straight answer but it would appear that remote play is broken due to loss of drm keys, on that note anyone want to swap a bootloader unlocked z2 (with no ta backup) for an unlockable z2? lol
I'm locked bootloader, and had trouble, as soon as I deleted super su app, ps4 remote play worked again
Unlocked bootloader means Playstation services broken. Being punished for wanting to unlock my phone and customize it. Will never buy another sony phone. Bought this phone for remote play and I now can't use it.
so disappointed

yeah im already looking to sell my phone to be honest. Bought it for remote play, that feature is probably lost for me forever. On the hunt for another good phone.
Had the Nexus 5, M8, M7, OnePlus One, Lg G3 all this year lol. Guess my hunt continues for the perfect device. This sony came really close but sony immediately lost my attention with the DRM keys bull.

Considering the same to be honest, cant say i got this phone because of remote play (got it back in april) i was gonna get an xperia anyway, but went for the z2 mostly in case of any compatibility with my ps4, wasnt possible to root and backup when i unlocked, but the playstation app and all my other worked fine after unlocking, 6 months with a great phone then bam, cant use my usual playstation app or new remote play, wouldn't have unlocked if i knew that was gonna happen, worst part is, about 2 weeks after i unlocked someone discovered a way to root n backup first, grrrrrrrr
On the plus side, im not a devoloper or anything, but i tried loads of methods of getting some kind of temp root access to pull that TA file back then, that mod, while not making anything work, it has created a folder on my phone that i havent seen since may......
Im on the same page i was only putting up with the annoying low low notification bug because we were getting remote play etc.
Now i have no reason to keep this device looking to get the G3
How did you find the G3 Kennypow3rs

Sony broke remote play on purpose, they just launched the Z3, thats one of the only features people would actually buy a sony phone to be honest. Sony knows this. If they allowed all over phones to access remote play then they'd never sell any phones. I get it, but it still sucks. Remote play is gone for now. No way unless a dev cooks up a way to make it work without DRM keys. Im sure, then even sony predicted that so they have ways of locking it out. In a nutshell they punished you for unlocking, you paid the price now buy a Z3 they said.
dude you just described my feeling....

The G3 was the perfect phone ive used to date minus the screen.If LG would have only included a 1080p screen instead of a QHD 2k screen, it would have been 10/10. The screen just drains too much battery and not needed yet in technology for phones. It really drains the battery so much. I would say pass on it. Also there is zero development to be honest. Get a Nexus 6 or something else. All those phones ive listed id say pass on and wait for something better.

Only problem is, it is on other phones. The port of remote play runs on galaxy s4, note3 some htc devices, its unlocked and rooted sony devices its not working on

I'm really drawn to the G3 so given what you've described here if I just added an extended battery or just carried a spare sounds ideal
I must admit the Z2 has been quite impressive with battery life I can from note 3 which was/is a superb device I swapped to Z2 just for a change the numerous problems ha email just put me off
Notifications
The fact I can see the digitizer touch panel points on the screen
Now block psn app and remote play
In don't find the touch screen as responsive/accurate as other devices
Got someone looking for a straight trade for G3 so may take them up on it
