Perhaps the phone version insteda of the tablet version. After restrat my GoLauncher was disapeared and i run titanium backup to restore lost programs and systemconfiguration. After that my tablet stay in de startscreen. Now i have read all de fora, tried everything i find but nothing works. With de flashtool i canb start the instalattion from a FTFStockRom but it stops with the follow error:

Unless somebody else can come up with a better idea, you could try Sony's Emma flash tool to completely re-install the software on your tablet. (It is for tablets & phones)
NOTE
- THIS IS FOR DEVICES WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
- THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA ON INTERNAL SD !
You can find instruction & downloads here
Thanks for your reply. I have tried Emma but Emma couldn't flash because the Tablet is Locked. I tried the sony unstructuions for unlocking, received an unlock code, but if i want to unlock the tablet the instruction in the CMD on my Desktop can't find the device. So i stopped with this option.
Perhaps you have some other options i can try. The easy options you can find in the fora i have already done without succes .

redownload stock ROM, it seems that your is corrupted. Also use latest flashtool, as earlier ones won't flash kitkat without errors.
Thanks again for your reply.
I use Flashtool version 0.9.18.1. As i can find this is the latest version. And i have used at least 10 Stock Roms but no one was succesfull.
Do you have an idea which Stock Rom should work for mij Sony Tablet SGP312 with in wordking status versio 4.4.2 on it. I am getting a bit nervous with the idea that my tablet form € 400,= is finished and i never can use it anymore (and i realy love the sony tablet).
In the worse case do you know if there is a last escape to get the tablet started again?
Greetings,
Herman.

try to flash any existing firmware for SGP312 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and see if it works. Also check for all drivers to be properly installed.
But first of all check your usb cable, i know it sounds strange, but i got all kinds of errors while flashing with one cable, when i changed it, flash process finished successfully.
My Sony SGP312 works again!!
I have done, after yor suggestions, the next things:
Started with the latest version of the flashtool on a Windows XP Desktop;
Installed the drivers via the Flashtool;
Downloaded the custo rom, again via the Flashtool (versio 18);
Started the Flash procedure.
And after 10 minutes the flashprocedure ended succesfully and my Sony styarted again.
I'm so happy it was succesfull and that i can use my Xperia tablet again because i love the sony sgp312 .
Thanks for your help,
Herman.

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....
10/017/2011 15:17:33 - INFO - Found at USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&36089B2&0&2

10/017/2011 15:17:34 - INFO - Then go to application settings
10/017/2011 15:17:34 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
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.

Hello guys,
I´m new here, and before everyone starts throwing stones on me , I´ve already tried some steps and got stuck (the welcome video is awesome! hehe).
Well, I tried to update my android on my phone, and after the reboot, got stuck on sony ericsson title screen.
1. I searched over the internet same issues, and i got this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602489 .
2. I followed Someguyfromhell indications at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
3. I got the flash tool , PC companion, base drivers, and the ftf file for flashing.
4.After install flash tool, selected the ftf file, and got this message :
05/019/2012 14:19:47 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I think the rom file is not compatible with my phone (2010 production date).
I tried to find other ftf files, without success.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Use the repair option in PC Companion to restore your stock firmware if at all possible.
After that, you can tell us how you tried to update the android on your phone, like: what did you want to update it to, which rom did you choose, what steps did you take...
By the way... the links you provided were for 2011 devices, Experia Mini and Mini Pro
the 2010 devices are Experia x10 mini and x10 mini pro. Different hardware altogether, I know it's confusing but please be careful where you choose your new software from
Don't feel too bad though, we've all made mistakes, just try to be a bit specific as to what you did first that made your phone get stuck, we can go from there.
well
Hello Guys,
After a loong search i found one ROM who fits with my cellphone - kind of old one.
I followed the steps on flashtool and "recovered". Sometimes it acts strange : if I turn off, it's very difficult to turn on in normal ways.. i need to plug on usb or re-flash... and if I switch the sim card, sometimes works, sometimes not...
Now its stable, but I think something is wrong.
and i got this information about my current version status :
Model : U20i
Firmware Version : 1.6
Kernel : 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Compilation Number : 1.1.A.0.8
Is there any possibility to upgrade my android version?
use the upgrade option in PC Companion
Again... what rom did you download, what steps did you take.. be specific when you ask questions, and please, let us know if you tried the advice given when you ask a question

are you have try use SEUS new version to get SE original rom+kernel , its work to me when i downgrade my E10i from MiniCM9 to SE original stock.
if you want to upgrade your phone to android 2.3 you can try MiniCM7 for U20i or for MiniCM9 for android 4.0.4.
I already try used MiniCM7 and MiniCM9 with nAa kernel, and its work fine to my E10i.

What device do you have?
Did you install the proper kernel?

and now its stuck at the sony ericsson name and wont go in cwm. only flashmode works. also i tried xperia companion.

Hey guys!!
I had a Xperia X8 with a custom ROM. Yesterday I bought a Xperia U!
It is of the Tim , the Mobile Company ( there are so many useless apps!! ) . Now, I'd like to mod my Xperia U.
I know that there are 150.000.000 threads about this, I read them, but I'm never secure and I prefer to have some info updated, excuse me!!
So, I'd like to know if I can do some things, and yes, how to!
General info of my phone :
Number model : ST25i
Android : 2.3.7
Basement (?) ( I'm not english, I think this is the correct word! ) : u8500-49020604-R1G_EC14
Kernel : 2.6.35.7+ [email protected] #1
Build : 6.0.B.3.184
Today, I'm going to update my phone with PC Companion.
Then, I'd like to root my phone.
After, I'd like to do a FULL WIPE, so I can have a clean phone ( I think I need CWM Recovery )
I'd like also put a Custom ROM and after, unlock the bootloader ( it isn't risky on XU, right? ) and put a custom kernel.
Thanks in advice guys!!
P.S If I can these things, I must follow a specific order?
Welcome to the forum of devices of novathor which means cm based roms are bound to have bugs. Usually just follow the OP you will be fine. Remember. Whatever you do here, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DEVELOPERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES. Enough shouting there sorry just wanted to make my point so yeah. Upgrade to ics and just search around how to root your build of ics.

I updated to android 4.0.4, everything ok
Now I'm trying to flash a firmware without brand with flashtool, but I can't!! It says always that I need to install drivers..

Which flashtool you have?
If you flashed with PCC driver must be already installed and functional.
So, this is what I did :
I downloaded PC Companion, then I connected my phone ; the program asked me first to reboot my phone while it was connected to PC. Ok I rebooted it bla bla bla.. the PC found the phone. After I selected SupportZone for the update. I booted the phone in flash mode and everything ok. Now I'm on Android 4.0.4.
But now I want the official firmware, without the brand. So I must have Flashtool ( I have version 0.9.13.0 ) , anyway I have Windows Ice XP v6 Service Pack 3.
Inside the flashtool folder there is a "drivers" folder, with an .exe . I started it and I selected the drivers of Xperia P , U , Sole and Fastboot and flashmode drivers. At the end, this popup :
Code:
http://i40.tinypic.com/11kf8tc.jpg
So.. ok ok and ..
Code:
http://i41.tinypic.com/2hztws7.jpg
Everything seems ok. After I rebooted the PC. Then I putted the ".ftf" on the firmwares folder. Then I started Flashtool, clicked on the bolt, "flashmode" , selected the firmware and then "Flash". Ok, it said "Preparing files for flashing".
When the instructions appears, I boot my phone on flashmode, everything seems ok but...

WTF?? Anyway I noticed that, under right, popup a message with " new hardware found " and after a bit it says " error during the installation of hardware". If I click on it, nothing appears.
And, if I click ( on flashtool ) on Devices and then Check Drivers..

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

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)....

Thanks for the help.

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?

Thank you for your response.
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!
