because of the custom kernel it s better to contact its developer
otherwise you can re-stock your phone to solve problem

How I Re-stock my phone ???

You can go back to stock using flashtool or Sony Pc Companion. I use Sonys app. You may lose root, recovery and more.

CWM doesn't recognize ZIPS on external sd cards (or I've tried a million ways and it never has). It would be awesome if somebody could tell me how to make it do that, though. I always give up and reflash.

You'll have to flash your stock fw via flashtool then again install the correct fw for your st15i

Yes its working but its really black,disnt sure but it should work,turn on phone and slide your finger where is unlock key if it vibrate then you got same problem like me,after flashing touch screen went black and reflashing doesnt fix it.

Try reflash it back to the orginal firmware then try again. Something might have gone wrong while you was flashing or the one you flashed was for a different phone.

the same thing
any idea

installing a ftf is like reverting it to a stock stage, if your phone was working then, it should work now. are you sure you installed sk17 and not st17?

Try flashing Stock firmware 5 to 6 times. I read somewhere that some times touch drivers are lost which can only be restored by flashing stock again and again
You can also refer this thread
OMG!! i flashed it six times and the screen doesnt work )=
Maybe if i install a rom from another model like mini or live with walkman
I thought that because whent the problem starts i change my build prop to make run a wt19 rom! with the boot_official_port_mango kernel, maybe my phone thinks its another phone xD
Well, you can always restore your phone with the Sony app and start again.
Anyway, I don't think its a good idea to try to use a ROM made for another device.
I read in other post i have to flash it via seus

On PC Companion, start the "Support Zone" and you can restore from here. I think Sony dont support SEUS anymore, but you can find it in some forums or download sites.

Something like that happened to me with an X8 with unlocked bootloader and custom ROM.
Everything was fine for a month and then literally out of nowhere the phone s speaker stopped working! Just like that! No alarms,no ringing...nothing!
Before throwing away the phone,I gave it a shot and re flashed stock locked bootloader and ROM and everything started working again!
I then sold it and got a mini! :-D

Downgrading Xperia Mini Pro to 2.3.4

Hello,
I updated my Xperia Mini Pro to ICS 4.0.4 last week. But there are lot of problems here. Also buggy and laggy.
So, how can I downgrade my mobile to original stock rom? without loosing the warranty. Because I bought this last month and I don't want it to lose warranty.

Just visit a Sony service centre... Itseems they downgrade the Rom to gb if u want.
Or you can flash ftf firmware file using flashtool. I don't think that voids warranty:good:

Correct they wont know the difference between flashtool downgrade and normal gb from before. So for warranty you will fine.
use flash tool .. it wont void warrent , because you will flash OFFICAL ROM .. so wont void warrenty
But im a newbie. How to use flash tool? my phone is not x10 mini pro. It's SK17i Mini pro.

If you do want to keep your warranty, you need to go to a service center. If not it's more than easy on Android.

you can search for official rom for GB at the development area
be sure you install flash tool too
it wont loose your warranty
If I were you I would look here and go to XX.Downloads. At Number 2 there is xperia mini pro.
Download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) and install flashtool, then click on the flash ,select flashmode and select the ftf from 4.0.2.A.0.42.
But install the drivers from the drivers folder of flashtool before.
Then click flash and power off your phone. Press and hold volume down and put usb cable in and connect to pc. The green light will shine.
Then flashtool will do everything automaticly and will flash the rom. (Btw all your data will be wiped!)
If you are on .42 then you can root with flashtool (just enable debugging and unknown sources on phone) and click the open padlock to root. Then connect to your wlan and search for updates on phone. Then update via ota to .62 firmware!
Thats the best way and it's the official firmware and it's like you never have been on ics before!

Thank you so much dude! I will do that. But i need to know that firmware is "world" one or is that a firmware made for a mobile company like AT&t or something else? Because I don't need to see a company logo when my phone is starting.
Also if I do this, am I able to update my OS to newer firmwares if SONY release it? Like ICS or JB?

Yes, you can download from here and if your bootloader is locked you can still upgrade over the air (wlan) to newer versions of your os!
Yes you can install upgrades from sony, to ics or jb (if it's out).
I think it's polish rom or something like this, but you can choose your language and it's like the generic world, only the crap by sony (like things that are preinstalled, like mcaffee or whatsapp, playstore now, etc ) is different (whatsapp is on some sony roms preinstalled, but you can also download in playstore, it was just an example!!)
So just flash it like I told you and then you are on stock sony rom, you can root it (cause .42 you can root easily: just enable usb-debugging and unknown sources on your phone with 4.0.2.A.0.42 and click the open padlock next to the flash). Then you can update (if your bootloader is locked, otherwise your phone will brick) to .62 firmware, the latest gingerbread firmware by sony. ( I don't know excatly in which countries, but in Germany there is a .69 firmware, with no changes on the software, I think, compared to .62)

[Q] Xperia locked bootloader

Hello everyone!!!
i got a serious problem in my Sony Xperia P. i bought it 3 days ago and it was feeling very laggy and i was not satisfied with it so i just used sony own pc companion and updated it and it didn't help and gives one more trouble.. the dialer starts lagging.. so i read somewhere about this site and read and learn to install custom rom..
The main problem is I tried to install the custom kernel ( nemesis ) by going into CWM recovery and it successfuly install but now my phone is only showing blue light and after red light when i tried to open CWM.. i cant install my rom.. please anyone help.. i bought this phone with my own money doing some very hard work.. please anyone just tell me how can i go back to original rom or install custom rom.. and my bootloader is allow to unlocked but i didn't unlocked it and i forgot.. Sorry for that it was my mistake.
hello there.
okay, 1st, you need to get your phone alive again by flashing a stock rom. i suggest you follow this tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/how-to-resolve-softbrick-upgrade-to-ics-t2023135
The link to flash tool is dead i think, so you can download the latest flashtool here:
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
follow Dr droid instructions word for word and you'll be fine. It saved my Sola last year, and it will save your XP.
Keep flashtool installed, because you can use it to unlock your bootloader. Just get the phone running first.
Good luck....

Z2 proximity,touch,display issue

Hi,
My Xperia Z2 is facing problems after problems. it all started with disappearance of Xperia Home. I was instructed by xda members to change the ROM i had reinstalled stock rom and this issue was fixed. then came then next issue, proximity sensor stays ON always and hence the in call interface became inaccessible. got another tip form xda to use Xposed framework to disable proximity sensor. this ROM also had a display flickering on grey colour (only) which was fixed by re-installing the same ROM. Reinstalling the ROM helped to fix the display flickering issue but the Proximity sensor issue still persists, ( temporarly fixed using Xposed Framework). After reinstalling the ROM, started another issue, the touch panel stops responding, ( except touch, all other keys will be working ie, Volume, power, camera, etc ). after a reboot the touch would work as normal. since its not feasible to change ROM every week, Please help me with a permanent solution. Thanks

Not to say, but it was a very common hardware problem in even brand new xperia z1's. I think they got rid of it in z2, but maybe your phone is an exception. If you have warranty then send it back to repair if the problem still persists even on a clean stock rom.

clean stock rom means the one downloaded using XperiFirm ?
also Z2 launched with Kitkat, now latest update is lolipop 5.1.1.
So which should i try ?

Sry, for a late answer.
Yes, stock rom means non-rooted ftf (so mostly files downloaded from xperifirm).
You may try both, but I think that kitkat has less errors.
ok thanks..let me try...
I am new in this field. so can i ask you one doubt?
My z2 is now rooted and bootloader unlocked and with philz recovery. so when i install the stock rom using xperifirm i will loose all these isn't?
I had downloaded the 5.1.1 Rom using XperiFirm. Can you pls tell me how to install this, since i have unlocked bootloader?
Unlocked bootloader won't change anything in terms of installing os.
The easiest way to this is just to use flashtool to flash the file, but it will also wipe your internal storage.
If you don't want your internal storage to be formatted you have to uncheck "wipe data" in Flashtool before flashing.
Btw it is preferred to wipe data in philz recovery before proceeding with flashtool (this will only wipe user data, not internal storage).

Click to collapse
just run Flashtool, shutdown your device, select firmware in Flashtool, click start and follow the instructions
After that your device is purely stock without root and custom recovery.
If you want a rooted 5.1.1 ROM with recovery just do the following:
- dowload Sony firmware D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_KK_4.4.2_UK+Generic (google for it) - this is the latest which can be rooted
- download rootkitXperia_KK4.4.2_20140719 (google for it)
- flash the firmware with flashtool
- root the device with rootkitXperia
- download any ROM you like and copy it to your device
- reboot into recovery and flash the ROM
now you have a rooted ROM with custom recovery and unlocked bootloader
