Hi,im having troubles with this Xperia u,it boots,shows de Sony logo and then just remains booting stucked in the Xperia logo.
I know i have to use Pc Companion or Flashtool in order to get the phone back again.
The problem here is that there are some important documents that i need to backup before i do anything to the phone.
The phone is on stock rom ICS,locked bootloader and does not have CWM recovery.
is there a way to backup the files and photos?
thanks.

How did this began?
If you have developwr options enabled you can try adb pull command.
If what you want to backup is on the sdcard(internal storage) fear not, reflashing will not erase it.

Are you sure i will not lose the pictures if i use PC companion? BTW debug is not enabled in developer options,casue i tried using adb.
but if you say that i can use PC companion to upgrade without losing the pictures then i'll do it ,so are you sure?

And it's stuck there since? Have you tried to force reboot, power + volume up untill you feel 1 vibration, or power off (1+) 3 vibrations?
Your options are limited.
You can still unlock the bootloader and flash custom kernel with CWM recovery that supports mounting usb, or adb, or use PC Companion/flashtol.
I have flashed my Xperia P many times with PC Companion and flashtool and never lost any data on internal memory.

You hold the keys down untill you feel the vibration(s)
The XU has removable battery so you can simply remove it to turn it off

I forgot unlocking needs the code from Sony and for the you need the IMEI number.
Just flash, there no other options realy.
You will probably need to use repair since the phone is not on.
wow interesting
ok its solved,i just downloaded a ftft file and flashed it,also i unchecked the box that says wipe data,and the baseband.
i did not lose the photos and the files,thanks

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

Your tried to unlock your booloader and now dont turn on?
If your phones was manufacturated after 11w29, you got a hard brick.
Cannot go into fastboot mode either (USB + Menu button) but at least Flashtool is able to reboot it into fastboot...
...is there any similar trick to reboot into flashmode? Flashtool only tells me to do the manual stuff for flashmode.
Or, alternatively, is there any way to perform a ROM update - I'm fine with the latest SE stock ROM, I just need that fixed auto-leveling audio feature I had in my Arc since last Summer -, maybe through some fastboot injection + multiple other steps?
It's running GB 2.3.2 aka 3.0.A.2.181 and I need 2.3.4 aka 4.0.A.2.0.XX; I have root but that's it, when I tried installing CWM it did install but does not work, phone freezes at bootup when I keep pushing Volume Down at the first logo to invoke CWM.
PC Companion also 2.0 craps out when I try to run the update, telling me to take it to a SEMC place...
Thanks in advance
Having the same problem.. cant go into flashmode USB + back
What do you mean by you cant go? what happens when you try to go into that mode?
If you get blue LED on that means you are in that mode.

I meant what I said: it does NOT go into flash mode. You can try 100x it will only turn on charging, that's all.
And yes, having owned X10 and Arc previously I've done this before multiple times so I know how it goes normally... not on this Neo though, that's for sure.
So the question is: is there any way to perform an update via fastboot...?

Well, yours is a different story it seems because FT says it did connect in flash mode...
And flash mode is a green light...
Are you still holding the key and capering the flash?

Im having the same problem the phone is going into offline charging mode. Here is the video of the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v3MjErfhug&feature=youtu.be
Try flash stock rom (newest) with wotan server. May solve the problem.
The problem is not in the rom

For the love of God, Asians: PLEASE STOP ****IN' PLUGGING THIS **** IN EVERY OTHER POST.
Is it locked to a specific network? My understanding is that it'll have fastboot locked and you won't be able to get into flash mode. Mine's a Neo V, though, so the Neo may be different.
If it's the same as the Neo V then you have to unlock fastboot as well as the bootloader.
If you go to the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get into the service menu, I think one of the options tells you about simlocks. Sorry I can't be clearer, my phone won't go to that menu, presumably because I've got CM7 on there now.
Apologies if the Neo doesn't work the same way.

I've just found a similar post, which seems to have ended with the same conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305966
To unlock fastboot, I paid someone else to do it with their credits for setool.
Of course, having a locked fastboot shouldn't stop you from upgrading but I'd guess it'd have to be to a specific version that your supplier has modified.
Maybe it sees the CWM install and views it as non-standard. It might be worth flashing a stock recovery and trying again.
I realise that Flashtool was able to put the phone into fastboot mode. I imagine this "locked fastboot" terminology doesn't quite cover what it really means.
You can use flash mode, back button, greenlight with a locked phone ( sim and bootloader). Fastboot menu key, blue light needs unlocked phone ( sim)

did you try to update the version of flashtoo to 0.9.11.0l?
Did you try to flash any custom kernel too?
How many threads will you open?? Try hard restart.. Check if all the drivers are installed n flash just official ftf..

I'm sorry, but this is another problem.What do you mean with "Hard restart" I restarted the phone already but always stuck in Sony logo and I installed all drivers before. Before this happened everything worked with the Flashtool and the Firmwares/Kernels I downloaded.

Custom kernels are only for unlocked bootloader. I though you were on unlocked bootloader buddy.
Also, when you try to install a firmware via flashtool uncheck the option "final verification".

Really guys I hope you still have suggestions (
Do you have .10 ftf?? Try flashing it once .n I have to ask does it go into bootloop or just stays on sony logo for all time?!
It must be some problem with your drivers on pc, if u can enter fastboot mode then u shouldnt have problem flashing...

This can be because sometimes flashtool asks me to install drivers and when I'm installing them then there is the error. I Can't enter fastboot because I ha ve a locked BL.
In your pc go to c/flashtool/drivers n install that exe.. And if you're mobile just stays on sony logo then let it stay there for sometime.. May be some error with TA partition

D/L flashtool and D/L MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf. put that tft into >>C:\Flashtool\firmwares<< Then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon, Mode Selector pops up choose fflashmode, then chose the MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf. Switch off the phone,press the volume down button,keep it pressed and connect the usb cable.:cyclops:
if u get that error again make sure that your bootloader is unlocked if not then i suggest that you unlock it.

Yes it is possible without having to start up your phone, and yes i read thread but take note on what i was refering to in detail i said MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL and not {{MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_Global}}}. Either way just unlock your bootloader seeing as how u cant turn it on to get the imei their is another way with flashtool.
1) download and install latest Flashtool (Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0)
2) Start Flashtool and click on BLU button on the top its right next to the lightning rod
3) turn off your phone (Hold power button and volume up make sure it vibrates twice), connect phone to PC in flashmode(hold down volume down while connecting it to pc)
4) click on get unlock key button, it will switch you to Sony Mobile website, here complete all boxes
5) copy IMEI form Flashtool to Sony Mobile site, than you will get unlock code to your mailbox
6) copy unlock key to Flashtool window and than click unlock
7) connect phone in fastbootmode ( holding volume up while connecting it to pc)
8) wait to unlock finish.
you should now have unlocked bootloader. Then retry flashing the .54 i also say just flash .54_KERNEL and NOT .54_Global.

Can I relock my phone and is the guarantee away?
what should i do unlocking the bootloader or sending the phone back to the shop? Would they take it ?
In the past i have once messed up the flashing of a rom and as a result my xperia neo v got stuck at boot loop at the "sony" logo
To fix it, all i did was to go into flashmode and flash the stock .ftf. After that, my phone would work again and i could flash my rom again.
However, now, my soft-bricked phone (same situation, bootloop at sony logo) is unable to go into flash mode and fastboot no matter which button it is i am holding. It just enters recovery mode no matter what i press.
When i hold volume down/menu/back button when i plug in, the phone vibrates and the sony logo appears, then the led light turns blue for a second then disappears, and enters recovery mode.
I am unsure whether my bootloader is unlocked as i may have relocked it in the past but i doubt it relocked it.
I did not find anything helpful after searching the forums for a solution for being unable to enter both flashmode and fastboot.
Re-flashing the rom, wiping cache partition, dalvik cache, factory reset, all of that did not work
Please help if you can :crying:
[EDIT]
Flashmode now works, but i get the header 6 error, so i am trying to use EMMA to fix my phone

EMMA worked! thanks guys for your suggestions.

[EDIT] current phone :
using stock Xperia Neo V GB 2.3.4 (build 4.0.2.A.0.62 )
Hi - I hope you are having a good day.
My stock non-rooted xperia sola is stuck in a boot loop.
I have been reading forums for days. Have tried flashtool and also cwm.
Phone is totally standard - not even USB debug is turned on - unless this is the default.
On power up I get xperia logo and then Sony logo and then loops again forever.
Flashtool connects via my xp laptop but then has an error trying to flash.
Cwm does not find my device.
Any help much appreciated. I'm quite techno but not with phones ( yet)

I have also tried the obvious power + vol up button for restart and shutdown.

Post a log for connecting with flash mode without flashing anything, just open flashtool and connect in flash mode.
Make sure you are using USB 2.0 ports, USB 3 won't work.
Bootloader locked?
Tried to flash in fastboot mode with flashtool?
Other way you can flash it is with adb commands, check this.
You have to use the kernel that your zip file has, obviously. It's in an .iso format.

First of all, I know, but I send that link because it's the same way to flash another Android device, with adb commands, if flashtool doesn't work, it's worth to try something else like adb commands? Yeah.
And second, sorry, didn't knew.

Next time you should use Sony's updater if something like a bootloop happens, it's much easier than using flashtool and installing drivers.
Sony Update Service or you can use Sony PC Companion too. It has a repair function.
