Hi, not very at easy with Sony (had an HTC and have a Morola Razr HD now), tried to help out a familymember having issues with his Xperia X10 (regular reboots/switching off randomly) by rooting, unlocking the B/L, adding a recovery and ending in installing a new rom.
Well, until the last part all functioned!
Then, the ROM...here things went wrong, tried sveral ones and had often the message where it couldn't launch the zip, modified the file as per instructions on XDA, retried, nothing.
I tried a last time, went away for "a sec" and upon my return I had the Sony Ericsson mask, which wouldn't go away.
Tried to check via Flashtool, phone still recognized, phone is seen as in "flasmode" but basically I'm unable to flash anything, nothing seems to be accepted....
Any ideas? Or should I simply throw the phone away?
thanks for the help!
PS tried to look all over the different pages, but didn't find a similar issue - hope I didn't miss anything (which could have saved several hours of stress, anger etc....)
cheers,

Hi mate try flashing this ftf file with flashtool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960 Thank's to Tof.
You can drag and drop the ftf into flashtool as well. Make sure toTick no final verification.
Hold back key and plug usb into phone while turned off...
You may be flashing the wrong zip for the recovery you have, to change recovery just flash new kernel and when the green light comes on press back on phone to enter recovery, don't worry you can fix this. :good:
Exactly as mate above me said.
And for the random reboots, the battery may just be broken. Check if it shuts down when using some more powerful apps or for example recording a video. Then it's battery

Hi,
it worked - several times via SEUS & above!
Thanks!
Just 1 more question I/o to avoid same (....): I'd like to install JB on it, downloaded CM10, but just to be sure, how to proceed? There are kernel files, as well seperate as in the ROM; recovery isn't installed yet (Flashtool indicates "to be implemented").
Thanks for the advice here as well
cheers
Hi,
Finally got all working, installed CM 10.1, only issue facing is sever battery drain when using it - % going down by the minute....(in sreen of the battery's more than good)....
Anyway, that's another topic, this one is solved.
Thanks for the help.

Hi!
Having looked around, almost smashed my computer & phone to bits i thought I'd ask on here if anyone can help me out here. I have an Xpreia X10 Mini Pro.. It had Android 1.6 and i wanted to update it to 2.1.. (network locked to 3)
Two things happened here, PC Companion didn't work on my PC.. Dont know why, so i used SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service) to get me the update. This update downloaded successfully, then decided it would give up after about 5% of install.. Bricking my phone.
So i downloaded Flashtool. Great! (i thought). I installed everything, downloaded the UK 2.1 firmware in .SIN format, compiled it (or bundled). I had a rough idea of what i was doing however two steps were missed by the tutorial on this site.
My Flashtool asked me on bundling what model my phone was, there were 2 option which may apply, the first: Xperia Mini Pro, the second, X10. i chose X10.
then asked me if i wanted a locked bootloader or unlocked. ?! not knowing what this meant i opted to make two ftf files, the first with the locked second with unlocked.
none of those worked.. this is what i got in flashtool log:
10/017/2011 15:17:14 - INFO - Searching Xperia....

i also not that in the stderr.txt file i had this:
"Error loading log4j properties file."
although i cant be sure as to when this happened.
Please help. I'm going to lose my mind here.
By the sounds of it you downloaded the latest flashtool which doesnt support our x10 mini pro. Try downloading an earlyer one and try again.

My 1st post)
i already did that
i use diffrent pc and cable as well as diffrent cable no imrovement
please help
his is the the phone which runs on official eclips 2.1
Your bootloader may still be locked
I had the same problem and got exactly the same error.
I thought I had unlocked the bootloader, but hadn't. Once I got it unlocked, the problem was solved.
For a easy guide to unlocking the bootloader, see here.
There, they alos tell you how to see if you're phone has an unlocked bootloader or not.
I rooted the phone using Flashtool first. That is done by clicking the big padlock icon.
I hope this helps.
Is there a possibility to force ROM installation from a zip file via twrp?
I'm trying to install a ROM for Z Ultra, but twrp gives me a message that my device is honami.
I tried flashing boot.img. Can't flash firmware because I can't enter flash mode (green light just blinks and that's it).
So is it possible to install ROM for togari despite twrp thinks its honami?
Right now I've got AOSP Nougat installed using flashboot.
I'm sick of playing with it. Just want a fully working soft on my phone.
Thank you in advance!
What did you do to end up getting this message? I know this was a common error back in the early days of the honami and z ultra when porting roms from the honami. But not very common today.
Or what .zip are you trying to flash?
What is the name of the .zip file?

I'm trying to flash ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.8-20160508-togari.zip with TWRP3.0.2.0. I tried with other ROMs but with no success. Every time ERROR 7 shows up. Previously there was 4.4.2 (or something like this) running well on this device.
Can this "honami problem" be caused by the wrong firmware?

It seems like you are on a very old firmware and need to flash the latest stock rom for the togari before flashing the rom.
Download flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php ..via torrent is the fastest option to download the software.
Here is a video on how to use the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PQVTgYbg_U ...can't find a recent guide on a new version of flashtool with androxyde. But you get the idea by looking at the video..
However I have never heard of the green blinking light issue on the togari.
Here is a thread for the honami: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-notification-light-It-s-at-70-80/td-p/404435

Thank you again. I really appreciate your every second spent to help me.
Every time I try to download a firmware I end up with "Error occurred while unpacking". Tried to create a bundle from what Flashtool managed to unpack anyway, but I've got another problem flashing firmware. No matter what firmware I flash I get this:

No matter which FW I try to flash, I always end up with this. Firmwares I tried:
C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf
C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Euro LTEStripped.ftf
C6833_14.6.A.1.236_R5D_O2 Pay monthly UK_1274-8332.ftf (I'm not sure if the package was made correctly due to an error while unpacking it just after downloading with xperifirm)
Driver I've got in device manager:
Sony sa109 ADB Interface Driver - the same I'm using with fastboot. Is that correct?
I really did a lot of research and tried a lot of things during last couple of days but I've got a feeling I'm not smart enough to handle this or my device is really f**ked up.
As I said at the beginning, I'm sick of it and now I'm trying to find a way to bypass the TWRP ERROR 7 (the one about honami device). Why I'm doing this is because I can flash everything with fastboot (like AOSP 6.0 and 7.0 from *.img files). I believe there is no such possibility as you didn't mention it.
About the blinking light, what I do is holding Vol- button and plugging the cable. After that in a second red light blinks, then green light blinks and that's it. Green one doesn't keep glowing but as you can see in the log, phone seems to be connected in flash mode.
Thank you so much again.
Oh, I'm on win10 x64 and always using USB2.0 to connect the ZU.
EDIT:
Ok, I managed to successfully download another firmware using XperiFirm (for C6802 this time) and the bundle created by itself after downloading process, but when I try to flash it I still get this:

You're using the wrong driver. There is a driver install pack when you install flashtool to be found in C:/FlashTool/drivers. Execute the file and scroll down the list to find the Z ultra. Tick the alternative. You can also tick in the flashmode driver visible somewhere in the list. Just to be sure.
Now when its finished installing the drivers. Turn the phone off. And do not boot the phone to fastboot. But to flashmode.
This is volume down and plug in the cable. Then you will see a flash of colors on the notification light and then it will shut off the lamp.
In flashtool you should now see in the log something like: Z ultra connected in flashmode.
Now go ahead and flash the ftf file again.
If this don't work. Uninstall ALL drivers related to android and start from scratch and install the drivers from C:/FlashTool/drivers to get a clean install. Or connect the phone in flashmode and go to device manager and look what you see on the z ultra.
The device should say S1 boot device. Then the correct driver is used. Otherwise its the wrong driver if it says something else.
Edit:
In the first log its says:
31/040/2017 05:40:49 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833). FW release : 14.6.A.1.236_R5D. Customization : O2 Pay monthly UK_1274-8332
But in the second log it says:
31/016/2017 06:16:17 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6802). FW release : 14.6.A.1.236. Customization : Customized US
You downloaded two different .ftf files for two different models with two different customization. One for O2 in United Kingdom and the other for United States.
What model do you have? And where do you live?
Your advice about the driver was right :/ Thank you so much. Can't believe I lost so much time just because of silly thing like that.
About .tft files, I wanted to try another firmwares just to see what will happen.
Thanks again for all your help and time!
Hello..
Please Help... i am not very good in sofware but i always keen in learning and XDA forum gave me knowledge best required in android world. With this confidence i had success in rooting galaxy n7000, asus max, galaxy plus ... with sony xperia z2 i was skeptical but i took the challenge, i unlock the phone and followed the steps for rooting "(Tool) (Locked & Unlocked BL) root and recovery for 23.5.A.1.291 WITHOUT downgrade ! by By rocker00," and boom goofed up. I tried to flash ftf stock with flash tool it gives error root access denied. Pulling my hair what to do i tried to figure out but in vain. I send the phone to service centre they say that mother board , battery issue has to be replaced estimated charges so high that i could buy new phone. My gut feeling, this being software issue can be solved. Hence, i plug again to Flash tool where it gave me report as under. The phone does not response to any buttons but when connected the led light red blinks indicating battery charging. the flash tool giving report.... hence its still breathing.. how to make it active and playfull wondering.. Hoping forum can do the magic for me.....

If LED was blinking red, it is no sign for charging, instead it indicate kernel error (soft brick), follow my advice above and see if it works.

Yes you definitely should.
In flashtool menu, you have to INCLUDE all and EXCLUDE none when flashing a FTF.
Please use flashtool v0.9.18.6 for stable result.

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.
