Double check the stock ROM file you are using with flashtool is not corrupt, also I believe your problem is related to the fact that the Xperia M is not supported by flashtool, the full list of devices flashtool supports can be found here. That being said I would recommend trying to flash the stock ROM you made from the ftf in CWMR to try and take you back to the stock setup. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

Hi sirs
I've tried to flash 3 zip files via xRec , it fails every time :-(
It says that there's something error or don't know what f**k it is
Then it says that the installtion of the zip file is aborted
So what can I do??

Make sure your not flashing unflashable zip. I made that mistake.

Surely I have BusyBox
And I'm sure that I haven't flashed unflashable zip , because I tried to flash the Xperia S music player zip downloaded from xda developpers
I had this before when I started out flashing roms, check to see if the zip file is flashed via xrec or cwm5 (if that's how its is or cmw5)

The zip files uploaders says " flash with xRecovery " so I do & I fail
Is your super user and su binary up do date. I put mine up to date and it solved the issue of it being able to flash for some roms

Maybe the zip you're trying to flash is a edify script? Try flash using CWM.
I remembered something , my version of BusyBox is not the latest , can it be a cause ??
I couldn't install the latest BusyBox version , it's really ****ing issue :-(
Please sirs , can you tell me how to flash via PC on Flashtool??

Mr. 9andar , I have already installed xRecovery , no problem with recovery mode , my problem is FLASHING ZIPs :-(
1: Download Rom of choice to pc/lappy 2:copy it to an easily found place on your sd card 3: boot into x recovery (mash back button upon boot) 4: goto install custom zip, select zip from sd card, and find the zip where u placed it on sd and select install. Thats it (u prob need to do factory reset before installing the zip)
Sent from my X10S using XDA
I'll try to install xRecovery GBReady with FlashTool, If it couldn't fix the prob, I'm gonna do a factory reset unfortunately :-(
Question :does the full backup of xRecovery creates a copy of messages and contacts??
Thank you all
Another question, will I be forced to re-root my device after factory reset??

You are right. But, that's universal. When you just need to go back to the stock or if have had completely messed up with a ROM.

Check that topic, try the solutions posted there.
I sent mine to service already, ROM testing killed the touchscreen.
Problem solved!
1)Install lastest firmware .62 for wt19i - use Flashtool
2) Install Rage Kernel 2.6 - use Flashtool
3) Then via CM from zip install hybrom_v12. for mini pro
3) Install "Touchscreen.zip" via CWM and reboot system
(Touch screens has to work)
4) Then again flash hybroman_v12 for wt19i
Good luck!!!
djRemov dude, where'd you get that touch flashfile? You made it yourself or is someone developing it? I fixed mine using the Hybrom v12 > Hybroman v12 way (without the file) and it still worked. Just curious..
I dug the hybrom zip and found the exact same hex files on it. Was thinking whether the just the script would work on it's own without flashing the minipro hybrom since they're doing essentially the same thing..
Thx dude
** oh yeah, not gonna test that theory anytime soon. I love my phone when it works~! LoL

I made myself.
At first I wanted to copy a SYS from another phone, but wondered, and concluded that the MINI PRO ROM has changed about the path to the touch screen files in the SYS . Renaming touch_coconut_tpk.hex in touch_mango_....hex, and replaced by one file in the folder firmware.
Do you guys have a link for the Mini Pro ROM? I'm desperate now.. =(
I still have a HYBROMAN v16 do you think that would work?
EDIT: I was able to download HYBROM_V12 but CWM keeps saying that the file is bad. Downloaded and re downloaded at least 10x now.. Any ideas?
UPDATE: For those who are having problems with their touchscreen, this method works! (finally found a working version of hybrom_v12)

Lemme see if I understand this right. Basically, what it does is overwrite the hex file and starts the touchscreen script? In which case it continues from the hybrom flash and replaces the hex from the minipro with the lww one?
WT19i Touchscreen Issue Solved
Solution
Follow these steps.
1) First you need to download and copy these two ROM zip files to your SD Card. The download links are given below.
a) (Note: Add (https) then //) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
dl.dropbox.com/u/61884099/hybrom_v10.zip
b) (Note: Add (www) then (.) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
mediafire.com/?32i7l0w4hpfzx81
2) Switch Off your phone and flash the latest GB Stock Firmware (GB !4.0.2.A.0.62) by using Flash Tool.
You will get this Stock Firmware from here. If you have already downloaded the file, skip this download.
(Note: Add (www) then (.) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)
|
V
mediafire.com/?ervpg54922b9c0p
3) Switch on by connecting usb cable to your computer by press and hold the volume up button on your mobile for Fastboot mode . Download and extract the kernel file which i attached with this post
(kernel_coconut-v4.zip) and flash it via Fastboot Mode in Flash Tool.
4) Switch on your mobile and press the volume down button to enter the CWM Menu and do these things.
a) wipe data/factory reset
b) wipe cache partiton
c) wipe Dalvik Cache
5) After that Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybrom_v10.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
6) When the installation complete, restart your phone. You will see that your touch is partially working !! Don't waste your time by checking
Touchscreen. Switch off your mobile by remove the battery and put it again.
7) Switch on your mobile and boot into CWM Mode again. Don't do these things(wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partiton and wipe Dalvik
Cache) again for installing new zip from SDCard. (I'll tell the reason later )
Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybroman_v12.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
8) After the Installation restart your phone and wait for booting into new ROM hybrom v12. Now you can see that your Touchscreen Issue is
solved !!!! :laugh:
Optional:
If you are facing wifi problem just flash the zip file via CWM (coconut_wlan_v4.zip) which is atteched with this post.
If you are not satisfied with hyvrom v12, you can also flash again the Stock Firmware or any other ROM which only supported by LWW
Cheers and Don't forget to hit the THANKS. Sorry for my bad English

Hi guys,
I am stuck in a very bad sitituation. I have installed a custom rom, but after some time I came to know I have lost root access. My phone's BLlocked. So cannot install cmw recovery without root. I tried flashing official Sony Xperia sk17i 4.1.b.587 .ftf file. But I am getting error as FLASHING ABORTED and the device restarts. I am attaching the flasboot screenshot. Please help me flash the stock rom, then I will be able to again gain root access.

Download ftf from here http://www.mediafire.com/?s166qsg8qaaxc43, place it into firmwares folder(delete all inside the folder before). Flash in flashtools, then flash the firmware that you want
Have you tried to repair it via PC Companion or SEUS?
Well I tried flashing more than 5 times via different ftf file, getting the same error.

Reinstall flashtool and try (don't forget to install flashtool drivers) if the problem still persists I would recommend installing flashtool and it's drivers to another computer and flash from it. It should definitely work.
Click thanks if I helped you!

Try this... Don't connect your mobile first... Choose ftf in flashtool... It will prepare files for flashing.. Then will ask to connect your mobile.. Plug your device in flashmode.. Should work..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Yes, do it like rachit.rc96 said, don't connect the mobile first :good:
If this doesn't work, check the box with "no final verification" when you select the firmware and try it again. But if you do this, be sure that this is the right ftf for your device

[Q] stuck in boot loop after flashing rom

Ok guys, I'm relatively new here. Been reading a lot, but never posted.
So today I tried to flash my Xperia S with flashtool.
Downloaded CM10 (FXP144), copied the zip file to the phone. etc etc.
fastboot works, but when I'm in CMW recovery and try to install the zip file (FXP144-cm-10-20121026-unofficial-anzu.zip) it fails..
E:error in /sdcard/...zip (status 7) installation abborted.
This means my phone is completely stuck.
What do I have to do?
Been searching and reading the forums for more than 3 hours now, can't find a solution...
Hello,
Think you should post this in Q and A section. I'm not sure of the codename for the Xperia s. But I'm quite sure it's not 'anzu'. Make sure you download the right zip for the device you're flashing to.
Nozomi maybe?
Hit thanks if helped.

If you can get into cwm then I presume you can download the right file to a PC, and transfer it to your phone by going to the mounts and storage menu in cwm and mounting mass storage?
You should be able to flash the correct file in cwm?

There maybe an option in cwm mounts and storage menu. Mount sdcard, or USB mass storage or something along them lines. Then you can connect phone to PC via USB cable.

Hello Guys!
I have a little bit the same problem .
Any luck ?
Look for a stock rom that's a .ftf extension.
Download flashtools.
Reboot in flashboot (Vol down + power)
Flash the ftf file.
Should (hopefully) work?
Edit: Try looking for an ICS rom. The stock ones are kind of every where. GB ones are a lot harder to find.
