Hello, Please help!!!
I was trying to unlock my bootloader on my Xperia X10 with qsd8250_semc cmd. and Flashtool. after unlocking, my phone refused to boot up. It doesn't even show the usuall sony ericsson splash screen. When trying to flash back to stock firmware with flashtool, flashtool recognizes the phone when connected in flashmode, but then trying to flash, flashtools shows "Error flashing. Aborted" when it gets to 'Flashing Loader'. Please I need help. What do I do?

Thanks for your reply. I tried using PC Companion to revert to stock rom. but it seems Sony PC companion only detects my phone in kind of an offline mode 'cuz it doesn't show my phone name after connecting in flash mode and then when I click 'Start' on the 'Update Software' module it just shows a blank screen with only 'Back' at the left corner. am I missing something? Please can anyone help me with a step by step procedure on how to go about it

I copy and pasted this from another post of mine
Depending on what version of Flashtool you use! Get this one - flashtool-0.9.10.1-windows
Install flashtool and driver's from flashtool folder.
Connect and make sure your phone is recognised
Click the padlock symble to root your phone. If anyone else is doing this, as you said your already rooted
If you want to install recovery you can! click on the white cross on black background symble second from the right.
If your Bootloader is not unlocked click plugins you can unlock bootloader from there. Check if its Possible for your phone!
If it is already unlocked you wont get the menu from plugins.
Remember google is your friend find that version of flashtool - S1 tool
And use S1 tool to check if you can unlock your bootloader someone may know another tool
Goodluck

Hey Guys, I hope you are having a good day. Mine is not a good one.
I wanted my experia st15i phone to be back on stock again so I can root it. I am running a .62 firmware. I have read on doomlords thread that .62 firmware cannot be rooted, so I decided to flash it back to the stock phone .368.
I followed all the step on the flashing on the phone.
-downloaded the flashtool for experia latest version. Followed the steps
- installed the necessary drivers -adb, flashtool drivers.
- then I followed the steps to flash the phone
This error came up (see Attachment) after that I haven't been able to turn on my phone since then. Even If I tried again, still comes up the same error.
BIG PROBLEM! My phone now cannot be turned on, it keeps getting back to flash mode whenever I connect it to the computer.
Please help!
I am sorry but I only follow steps throughtout the flashing method, I don't know if I had to unlock my bootloader before I flash it, or root it.
Please help, I am currently researching now If I can turn back my phone again.
flash to stock rom.. .42 firmware is good if you want to keep root..i saw the image from that are you flashing any kernel..?beacause you are in fastboot mode..but to flash ftf file you have to be in flashmode
Error with the flashtool, phone stop working
No, I am not flashing any kernels. I was in flash mode. I was never in fastboot mode.
Ok thanks for the heads up, I'll use .42 instead.
But still currently having this problem. I can't do anything because I can't turn on the phone. If I turn it on, the logo doesn't come up and the blinking light is on GREEN, so that means I am still in flashmode (even without the connection to the computer). If I connect the phone when the flashtool is there, its says on the log that it's on flashmode.
The Big Problem is, How can I turn it on back to normal mode. releasing the flash mode. If that really is the problem, when the error came up.
Second Question. Do you have to unlock the bootloader to perform the root or flashtool. I already have installed the adb drivers.
first there is no need of unlock bootloader to flash ftf file..just download ftf file then put in firmware folder..then open flashtool... click on flash and then click on flashmod then just select your ftf file and press ok..switch off your mobile..then press volume down button and coonect your mobile to pc using usb cable..flashtool will flash that firmware...
Thanks...
But, I have already followed all those steps you said. then that error comes up (refer to the thumbnail above). After that I haven't been able to turn on the phone.
When I try to turn on the phone, the logo screen won't show and the light that blinks above the phone is green. Meaning its kinda stuck on flashmode.
I am so scared right now, if I can't fix it.

I am assuming your phone can be bootloader unlocked and you have unlocking key from sony.
If you don't know then refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
WARNING: IT WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE DATA SO MAKE BACKUP
1. Install Flashboot and Fastboot drivers of Flashtool (setup file will be on C:\Flashtool\drivers or similar place).
2. Turn on your phone, and connect with usb debugging on.
3. Go to Plugins-> Bootloader Unlock option, start it.
4. Now it will ask to disconnect your phone and reboot in FLASHMODE.
5. Again reboot your phone in FASTBOOT mode.
6. It will show a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
7. The device will reboot and you are done!
FLASHMODE
You can get into flashmode by pressing specific hardware key and connecting phone to pc via USB.
It will glow GREEN LIGHT on led if done correctly.

yes, turn off your phone then connect USB while pressing specific key.
same applies for fastboot method
When I am installing drivers, I am getting "don't install or install anyway", I choose install anyway but the same window comes up again. Should my phone be turned on, off or in flashmode or something?

it asked me 3-4 times and i chose "install anyway", and phone doesn't need to be connected while installing drivers.
I got an error in last step : Failed (remote: oem unlock failed ). This happened to me too when i used the official way to unlock my sony xperia p. Can someone help?

did u check that your device can be unlocked or not?
Yes I checked, it can be unlocked
If you have installed Flashtools and its drivers correct you shouldn't get any driver prompts when plugging the phone in
Assuming you did a default install browse to C:\Flashtool\drivers and execute the drivers file. Make sure you select the drivers for you phone ie "Xperia U" and scroll to the bottom of the list and select Flashboot and Fastboot drivers. From what I have seen so far most people are not installing these 3 drivers.
karimkahale: I would go back to the Sony website and get your unlock code again. Maybe you entered some wrong details...
Please help me out,
when I am trying to install fastboot drivers from flashtools drivers folder, I am getting an error saying driver installation failed.
My os is windows 8 pro 64bit..My phone Xperia U (ICS)
What should I do.

Successfully installed Fastboot driver on windows 8 (Used Advance Startup for installing unsigned drivers)through Flashtools and also unlocked bootloader..
Accidently lost all data as unlocking bootloader wipes data...forgot to take a backup but m happy.
Thank you for this tutorial mate!
It's better if we can get unlock key from flashtool
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Thanks a million, but would my warranty be void immediately after I unlock the bootloader, what's the regulation about this matter, I'd like to keep my warranty.
---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
If i relocked the boot loader the warranty wouldn't be void, right?
Not quite;
It all depends on your repairman...
The standard, though, is, that the warranty is valid if the guys at the repair center can flash a stock ROM (.ftf) onto the phone. Some phones can do this without their bootloader being locked, but some can't do this after their bootloaders are unlocked, even if they are locked back afterwards...
Now, I have a question:
I'm having the same error as karimkahale...
Whatever I do, I get that stupid error, and not even Sony can help me (their support team (that needs a week to reply to a simple e-mail) said that thy don't know how to help)...!
Thanks a lot for the guide, it was really helpful!
Cheers!

You have to, actually....
To relock, you need to flash a ftf file via FlashTool...
Help me I can't seem to choose unlock bootloader from the plugin button?
Hello everyone,
please help me out.
I tried to flash a custom rom on my sony ericsson live with walkman but flashed a wrong file using fastboot. It was just a mistake and it was done after one second since the file size was only 90kb. There was no chance I could have stopped it. And now I have no access to flash mode, or fastboot. Battery is not chanrging anymore. It seems it is bricked :crying:
Is there any tool which can flash the hardware again? May be kinda developer tool... It makes me sad
Please help!!!

i have a similar problem. i have a wt19i manufactured 11w48 with .62 fw. i can't enter flashmode or fastboot. the led blink for like 0,5 seconds and then it boot into charging mode,showing the batttery on the display.i've tried testpoint, flashtool, s1tool(that says "finished", but can't flash anything since i can't enter flashmode nor fastboot) and every other method here, tried to restore/update with pc companion, but it's impossible without entering flashmode. how do i know if i have unlocked bootloader since s1tool seems to unlock but flashmode and fastboot aren't working? i have already rooted and bootloader status "yes". i have successfully unlocked/rooted/flashed in the past x10 mini(x2),xperia mini,xperia neo, xperia ray, xperia play,an lg p350, a galaxy ace..anybody willing to help? can't seem to find anything here on xda, everything i've tried doesn't work no flashmode or fastboot, just 0,5 seconds blinking led.anyone knows if is there a way or how to uninstall drivers so i can do a clean install? i've tried both the android sdk adb, s1 tool drivers and flashtools flashmode/ fastboot drivers..and last, couldit possibly be a hardware isue? phoneis working great and has no problem aside of what's said above..

There are many ways to get your phone into working condition.
1. The first thing you should do is, try repairing your phone through PC companion.
2. If your fastboot mode is working and have unlocked bootloader, try flashing stock ftf ROM into your phone via flashtool.
3. Try flashing recoveries via fastboot and then clean reflashing ROM
Let me know if you have problem with above

pc companion can't find phone
flashtool (emma i found it on sony site) is not supporting xperia m
Is there any specific error, when you connect your phone to computer?
Try factory resetting phone through stock recovery. It might help you.
So, I wanted to root my phone and unlock my bootloader. After unlocking bootloader I checked phone and everything was ok. I flashed twrp and boot.img then flashed supersu via twrp. After that, phone waited on sony logo like 20minutes so I turned it off and wiped. After doing that it was still on the xperia logo. I flashed kernel again and it started rebooting after sony logo. Now, I can use fastboot and flashmode. But flashtool gives me errors. First it said I need to enable usb debugging and now it says "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.". I tried on another computer but I still get the same error. I can lock the bootloader btw. Should I try and try recovering via xperia companion?
I locked the bootloader and restored using pc companion. Everything is fine again. Never gonna try rooting this device again.
Hey there, could you please tell me how you relocked your Xperia XA Ultra?
Could really need some advise with putting back my password. Would you mind explaining how you did it?
