Hello,
I have a Sony Xperia U and I try to install a new firmware but I can't.
When I use flashtool, i have this message :
Current device : ST25i - YT900389W7 - 1261-7887_R2E - 1254-3522_6.0.B.3.184 - WORLD_6.0.B.3.184

- INFO - Ending flash session
- ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0026";ERR_DYNAMIC="08 : TA flush failed";
I tried to re install the drivers, to change the cable, to change the firmware, to use an other version of flashtool but it didn't work. I had already installed 3 firmwares before without any problem.
My phone is out of use, the apps keep closing, i cannot delete or save things on my phone because when I switch it on, it comes back to the previous setting.
My bootloader is locked and i can't unock it because of my rooting status is "NOT allowed" (operator...).
These past 3 weeks i couldn't use my phone, please help me!
Thank you

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I already tried with PC Companion and SEUS, it tells me to try again and again. I can't even get my backups, and I can't update the software.

In what stage exactly does PCC tell you to try again, does it begin the flash process and fails(after you connect with volume up) or before?

When I use PCC, it downloads the update, then it tells me to disconnect my phone, to switch it off (and wait 5 s), then connect it with the button - (volume down) pressed.
After few seconds "an error had occured" and it proposes me to try again. It is the error number 100. So I think the flash process fails after the connection.
When I use flashtool, it's the same : after connecting the phone with the volume down button pressed, the error "flush failed" above appears.
I noticed that i cannot delete nor add any file in my phone, maybe the problem comes from the storage? Even when I restore the factory defaults, nothing happens, i still have the apps.
Thanks for helping me

Hi, there is no way to fix it with a software. I give it to my operator and they changed the mother card in the phone. So be really careful when you use falshtool...

Hello,
I got a new phone that is purely for gaming, so I rooted it, got xrecovery, CWM, and installed a ROM called CM-X. I installed CM-X and it wouldn't boot. I have a recovery, which is ****ed. I don't have debugging on now for some reason. So my question is, how can I flash my phone to normal? I have everything to flash it. But no debugging = no flash. Please I need help, thank you all.
When flashing; I get this.

Flash back to stock ROM using SEUS. I think that's all that is left.

SEUS isn't finding it. I have xRecovery and CWM on my phone. Is there a stock ROM .zip that can be installed?

Hmmm. So your FlashTool managed to find your x8, but your SEUS cant ? Do you have PC Suite on your PC, because when you install it it install a pfone drivers too. So if you dont have install it, try to install it and try again with SEUS

thats the thing, ive tried to flash a new firmware using flash tool but it doesnt do anything, I press volume down and plug in the usb cable the screen stays blank and the led goes green but nothing else happens.
Do you have your bootloader unlocked?
And how did you try to flash the new firmware after which the mishap happened?
In case your bootloader is not unlocked, use PC Companion to repair your cell phone.
Thank You,
Rick.

Flash tool will work with original firmwares released by Sony, even if your bootloader is locked.
Okay. So now you try to download the S(M)US, and try repairing the phone by it. And report back.
Good Day,
Rick.

That is completely normal, it means your phone is in flashmode.
If Flashtool asks you to connect, then do it this way, so that green LED would light up. Flashtool starts the installation and does the work.
If it fails, post the error log here and we will see further.
my fone is the live with walkman wt19i.
ive tried update service, flashtool and still cant get it to work, its like its not recognising my fone, i have all the drivers installed so there shouldnt be a problem there, here is the log from flash tool, doesnt really say much though.

How do I force PC Companion or SEUS to repair my X10 mini to restore it to its factory state?
I was running CM7 2.2.0 which was great until 2 weeks ago when I started getting random shutdows and erratic battery stats. Restored to 2.1-update1 using recovery, flashed stock kernel with Flashtool and relocked bootloader. Still having bizarre battery issues (going from 100% to 5% after reboot) and WiFi doesn't work (says 'unable to start Wi-Fi').
When I select the repair option in PC Companion 2.1 (latest version), I select my phone, it starts the update process, then says "No software available" with subtext "There is no software available for your phone. Please try again later."
SEUS doesn't have a repair option and simply says my phone has the latest software.
I tried using a different build.prop file found online to be used to force PCC or SEUS to update but got the same error.
Anyone have any suggestions?
About phone page:
Model E10i
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
Try to start PCCompanion without plug in phone...Choose update and then the repair option.Then Follow the instructions from PCCompanion.
After choosing your phone you have to plug in phone by pressing back button,to get in flash mode..
Guys the solution is really easy u probably missed it
After u click update software a pop up confirmation will appear click the underlined repair phone button and then click thanks oon my post

I'm not sure how you got back to your original firmware, but as far as i'm aware this happens when your provider has tinkered with the firmware, and branded it himself. PC Companion will then recognise a phone not supported by Sony Ericsson but by your provider and refuse to do a repair. I believe you can edit the build-prop to insert a code that signals a stock SE Firmware, which might do the trick. Another trick you can use to get back to factory defaults is to reinstall xRec or CWM and wipe all data, cache and dalvik-cache.
I'm not sure about the WiFi issue, haven't seen that issue in this context, and certainly not on stock firmware, but the battery-issue seems to be caused by MiniCM7-2.2.0, for some people, including myself, at least. Earlier versions of this rom seem to work fine.
What you need to do to get the battery back into reasonably decent state, is let it drain, then charge it with the wall-charger (I would not recommend usb-charging here) in one go until it's completely charged. Try to repeat this a couple of times. I hope this helps you a little.
The question isn't "how to start the repair process" - I can do that just fine (press back when inserting phone, phone starts repair process, etc.). The problem is the error message I'm getting (see original post).
I used xrecovery to restore the backup I made of my 2.1 ROM. I even did the factory wipe and wiped Dalvik cache, but it's still not in full factory state because it still has xrecovery present. Is xrec contained in the kernel tft file I flashed with Flashtool?
I did find the ROM files that SEUS downloaded and decrypted them to .sin files using Flashtool, but since I'm not sure how to create a proper .tft file I don't want to flash those if I can get PC Companion to do its repair job like it's supposed to.
Also the phone is unbranded, purchased unlocked.
You probably had XRecovery installed when you made the back-up of your original ROM, that would be why it's still present after you restored the backup.
In flashtool, choose create bundle if you want to make a .ftf file from the decrypted sin files. I'll go to the procedure again later today, so I can tell you how exactly it is done, but there is a tutorial somewhere in the general section on how to do it, although it's got a few errors in it.
And as to why PC Companion won't let you repair... beats me... I figured it was carrier-related, but it may just be a regional issue.
Anyway, i'll get back to you
OK
If you decrypt the files that SEUS downloaded, you will get a dialog, asking you to select the files to include in the bundle.
There will be about 9 files offered to you.
You can just select all 9 and add them to the bundle, but i usually leave out the fota0, fota1 en simlock.ta files.
(fota is firmware over the air, but since we don't get updates from SE anymore i don't see the point of having them, and simlock.ta gets skipped during flashing on my phone, so it doesn't need to be there)
You need to fill in some information about your device so you get a description of the bundle. in Device type whatever you like (SE X10Mini E10i Robyn), Version should be 2.1.1.A.0.6, Branding can be whatever you like too (Stock or Generic for example). These fields will identify this bundle in the firmware-dialog when you are going to flash.
After that step, when you click on ok, you get a dialog to select your device (choose E10i), and after that you get a dialog asking you locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader. Choose whichever is applicable to your phone, it is used to select the proper loader.sin for the bundle.
After that, just sit back and relax, it will add the files to the bundle and put it in the firmwares folder, so it will be available when you choose to flash.
That's it really, not much to it once you know how to. I hope this helps you
SmG67, thank you so much for your guidance. I created a bundle with the SEUS files, using all of them including the "fota" and "simlock.ta" files just to get it as close to factory state as possible.
After doing this, the Wi-Fi works again which is great, although it still has the problem of shutting off as soon as I insert a SIM card. This definitely seems to be power/battery related, as the phone will report a 100% "full" charge with no SIM inserted, but when I put in a SIM and booted up, even in airplane mode, suddenly the charge level was 5%. Booting again with the SIM out again and it returned to being 100%.
Given this, I tried it performing the repair function again with PC Companion 2.1, and it finally worked, thus solving the original question of this thread: it seems PC Companion won't perform a repair on the phone if the system has been tinkered with in any way. Maybe this was due to xrecovery being installed, or maybe it was due to it being rooted.
Either way, it's now back to factory state, which was my goal. I'll continue trying to condition the battery with full charges and full discharges to see if that helps.
Thank you again, SmG67.
Did you try several Sim-cards? Perhaps your SIM is broken.

check this video you will probably find the solution put this on youtube : sony pc companion there is no software available for your phone
In the beginning i must say that i did search around but no solution finded..
So that happened: after i finished call, on my screen appeared that "Androin stopped work" (or something like that) Then i set my phone to REBOOT and phoned turned off but not on. Well i tried it manually but after pushing upper on/off button just short vibrate and nothing, phone remains black. Not even booted to CWM.
Well in similar cases usually i try to reflash kernel or rom via Flashtool or use repair phone option in Sony Update Service and go back to 2.3.
None of that this time worked for me...
Flashtool showed that error:

First, I don't know if we use the same Update Service. Because, in my SEUS also says that there is no newest software available, to be precise: "Your phone already have latest software". But, also says: "If you are experiencing problems with your product we recommend that you re-install the software". And "INSTALL" button shows up in the right-down corner. Click and reinstall Stock Rom. And you are not the only person who complain about this issue with SEUS. Look in pictures, and tell me if it's a same version of SEUS, and does this windows appears in your SEUS.
Here are some screenshot to aprove this claim:

I tried PC companion but received an error from this app. I used flash tools from Androxyde with 2 different ftf but received everytime the same error :

Make sure you are flashing the correct firmware for the device, It should still be recoverable at this point.
Is it solved already? I am having the same problem
EDIT: it's ok now. i just reflashed it.
Use a another firmware
One question, where do you find the Driver for flashtool?
I choose every option but the program still ask for drivers
