MyWT19i Sony Ericsson Walkman is rooted.
phone s/w version: 1250-5829_4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic - user
S1 Boot version: 1241-3656 R9A029
Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
I can connect to it via adb but I cannot get fastboot to reply even though the label under the battery says 11W42. My device is running stock rom android 2.3.4
When I press menu after it is switched off and connect my WT19i via a usb cable to my pc and then type
fastboot devices
I get nothing coming back.
Any ideas?
If it is booted then via a usb cable I can connect to it and do adb shell. Then I can also do su.
I do not know how to restore com.android.settings and I do not know how to unlock the bootloader since fastboot does not respond. Can anyone guide me?
Is there any way of getting the bootloader working via adb?
Then I could probably flash anew Rom.

I managed to repair the phone. By downloading "Sony PC Companion" and then asking it to reinstall the phone's software. The phone was flashed automatically with stock Android 2.3.4 , Now it all works again.

Hi
I unlocked my daughter's Ray with wotanserver and it worked fine but I think she might have done an OTA update as she got a message to say the the sim was unrecognised and she needed a reset, which she did and then brought the dead phone to me.
It does not boot at all and does not show up on the PC
BUT
It does get to the Sony logo when I plug in the charger or try to fastboot to PC. (Goes into fastboot with Flashtool but led goes red and is not recognise when I try to use ADB command line to use bootloader unlock with fastboot.)
Flashtool, S1tool and SUS all recognise it.
I have reflashed it with both Flashtool and SUS and tried repair with sitool and wotan.
I have tried different methods on the forum but nothing works even though it doesn't seem completely bricked.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks - it was worth a try!
Still no change except the loader has changed from r4A069 to R4A069.
Does this mean the bootloader is now definitely locked and I need to unlock it to get the phone to boot?

Yup ur BL now is locked
sent from my st15i using xda-app
I though I should say that the power button does nothing at all, the phone only boots to Sony logo when connected to PC or the charger is plugged in.
Is it possible the boot loader is corrupted?
Since trying the OTA unbrick, apart from the bootloader being locked, I cannot connect in fastboot.
Having read around it could be that the Trim Area is corrupted but the fixes I have found do not work. When I try to flash a loader (x10 but meant to work on all xperias) I get an error from flashtool saying there is an error reading the loader,sin header..
Any ideas at all would really help.
Could anyone help if I try one step at a time?
First, I want to unlock the bootloader to see if that helps with the bootloop problem.
I cannot enter fastboot anymore to use flashtool or command prompt unlock.
When I connect to flashtool in fastboot, I get the message that the phone is connected without USB debugging and then the LED changes to red (charging) and the device disconnects.
Any ideas please?
Hey!
Now my device is installed as Xperia Mini, when device is on, is this the right driver?
When not installed (before I press Install PC Companion software on this computer)
it shows up as Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver, and I have the option to choose between similar named drivers, non of which works. This doesnt seem right?
What driver should the device use before PC-Companion installs the Xperia Mini driver?
In flashmode, the device is installed as Android ADB device. This seems right if you follow other tutorials/guides!
But I still cant flash/root nor unlock bootloader.
I know I need to downgrade the stock software version .62 to either .42 or .58 (The latter I couldnt find, so I will try .42 fw)
Bootloader unlock allowed: yes
USB debugging: ON
Unknown sources: ON
USB connection mode: MSC
Driver signature enforcement: OFF
Flashtool -> Throws error both on BLU and Flash, says my bootloader cant be officially unlocked
Doomlords v.4 -> Cant chmod/copy/install, but it seems it can push zergRush, if that means it "transferring" the app to the device
SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking -> Throws exception when trying to flash, and hangs when I try to unlock the bootloader
SuperOneClick -> Shows half the process of zergRush then hangs, doesnt matter the method (zergRush, psnauter, GingerBreak)
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version-> stuck at < waiting for device >
But "adb devices" shows the device! Is there a way to flash, root or unlock the bootloader with ADB?
This part might be the source of the whole mess!
Another problem im facing, probably highly crusial, when I try to upgrade the stock firmware neither PC-Companion nor SE update service can finish the upgrade!! It doesnt recognise my device when I being prompted to connect my phone in flashmode. I'm stuck here...
This might be a problem someone has encontered, and might share som insight in!?
When solved, I'll edit this thread to be "for those who facing the same issues as I'm doing!" And explain the exact details how and which drivers to install, and when!
And if I dont solve it, I'll think I'm gonna give Sony Ericsson a call after I posted on there official forums!
I'm using Xperia Active st17i and i tried a everything to get into fastboot with no success, i have 2 computers, one with windows 8.1 32bit and other with windows 7 32 bit, on both of them tried everything and couldn't get into fastboot mode, tried a lot of drivers from internet, flashtool drivers, and when i turn off phone, wait 5-10 seconds, hold volume + button and plug usb into phone, the phone just turn on normaly and start charging
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.

hmm that sounds crazy. idk how this could be.....
but what you can do is:
1. download sony pc companion software & reset, repair or update the phone if avaiable.
=> if still bootloader unlock allowed: NO then:
2. download & install flashtool. after iit install install its drivers from flashtool/drivers folder (need your phone driver + fastboot + flash driver) optional: install android SDK. (just leave all it is & press install packages.) if you done, flash a stockICS.ftf (<= firmware) like shown on this page: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/GUIDE-How-to-Install-Jelly-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389 (you can download the firmware there, just make sure you choose your model right. use ICS .587) (boot once)
now look if bootloader unlock allowed....
if still : NO, then maybe ask your carrier where u get this phone. normally if your contract is end, they unlock your device for free (its here like that.)
you can also try just to request a code from sony site & try to unlock it maybe you are lucky. (you said you was allowed on pre version)
good luck!!!
the thing is if your bootloader locked = no cutom kernels = NO JB or KK rom for you. only stock based custom roms for locked bl...
Hi Dev's,
verified the bootloader can be unlocked via *#*#7378423#*#*
installed the fastboot, flashmode & sony xperia z ultra drivers from the flashtool 0.9.18.2 installer (flashtool.net)
on windows 8.1 with deactivated driver compatibility check.
Now i've tried all 3 methods to enter into fastboot mode from here
(theandroidsoul.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-fastboot-mode)
via volume up + usb in, adb & quick boot reboot (even if the device is not rooted at the moment)
, but no success. The device always starts into flashmode, and this is the only state being recognized by the flashtool in windows. All hardware keys are working fine.
Any more ideas how to enter fastboot? I am really stucked at the moment.
Thank you!
what does it do on vol down and usb in?
You are doing this from a powered off state?
Hi,
I really tried every method and button combination. it is just the same as in this thread I found later.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716418
Seems like the fastboot mode is being hardware locked or something.
I return the device tomorrow, and check a new one (if I get) with android 4.2 stock Rom.

I had this same problem some months ago .Never saw a way around it . Since the phone was still like 1 month old I had to return it to sony and got a new one !

Hi,
I'm quite new to the world of custom roms and I would appreciate some help to get my z3 tablet working again. I wanted to install this ROM as my Z3 was still running on Lollipop with no update in sight.
I managed to unlock the bootloader following the instructions from Sony's homepage and I was able to flash TWRP using the version provided in the thread linked above. Unfortunately now I can neither boot into recovery nor do anything else with the tablet except start the fastboot mode (solid blue light after holding power up and connecting the power cable).
Is there any whay to start TWRP? Did I use the wrong image? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you for your help!
I used this solution to get out of the very same situation on my SGP611.
If your tablet is soft bricked, stuck at boot, restart display SONY and keep restarting you can do the bellow steps, but after that you will need to root and install TWRP again.
To turn off your tablet which is keep restarting, press and hold POWER and VOLUME UP until the tablet vibrates 3 times and turns off.
On your PC open Sony Xperia Companion, click Software repair, check My device cannot be detected or started, Next, chose Xperia phone or tablet, Next, check I know my Google credentials, wait until instruction are displayed how to connect to your PC.
Make sure your tablet is turned off, press and VOLUME DOWN while connecting the USB cable to PC, when the program starts the next step you can release the VOLUME DOWN.
Now wait and do not disconnect the tablet from PC.
Hi, I used Lightheadeds link and I managed to install the stock rom that way. I also tried luk71s solution but Xperia Companion did not work because my tablet has an unlocked bootloader.
Many thanks, I now have a working tablet again!!!

Since you already unlocked your bootloader it makes sense that you do not have an OEM unlock option. In developer settings you must enable USB debugging and reboot in bootloader mode to flash twrp. What happens if you send the command 'fastboot devices'?
Thanks for replying my Sos.I did not have the unlock oem optoon before unlocking the bootloader. When I write adb devices the computer sees it in normal mode but does see the tablet in fastboot mode.

I checked my tablet and it has no OEM unlock option either, so maybe it is simply not implemented. This means you should be able to unlock.
To see your tablet in fastboot mode you must install the correct drivers on your PC. For me the easiest way was to install Flashtool from www.flashtool.net. It has an option to install drivers and it is also useful if you want to go back to stock. You may also want to backup your TA partition if you consider returning back to a pristine state.

You may have to disable driver signature verification: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Also close Sony Companion and Flashtool if you run the fastboot commands.

Ok i'll do that and will keep you posted
Z3 tablet Root 2018
So I finally managed to root my lovely and Tiny Tablet. Info those interested.
Step by Step. My machine Windows 10 Pro 1803 : Did not work with this computer and changed on a second one Same windows Pro 1803
that does not mean it will not work on yours)
Phone is Z3 Tablet Compact with Marshmallow.
A On Computer
1 Installed Flashtool 64
2 Installed ADB FlashTool 5contains drivers also)
3 Installed Phones Driver (it may be included with Flash tool)
4 Installed Sony Flashtool
5 Unlocked Bootloader with Flashtool or Go to Sony's Site to obtain Unlockboot loader Code. Sorry Too long to explain ( I used Flashtool)
6 Downloaded SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf or other Firmware that fits you xperia device with Sony Flashtool :: ATTENTION This downgraded my phone to Android 5 Lollipop.
ON Phone
If you are here, you already know that you have to unlock your Developper mode, Allow Debbuging mode, Allow mock locations, Go to de security option and allow Unkown sources.
1 Installed Kingroot 4.50 (Install it even if Google says it may be dangerous)
2 Ran Kingroot 4.50 IT IS NOT the latest but it worked for me on Android Lollipop. (I had tried the lastests versions of Kingroot, Kingoroot, and other it did not work on Marshmallow and it did not work for me)
It did not work the first time. SO i tried a second time as proposed and it then worked.
2 bis I rebooted verified with a root checker afterwards: Rooted Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
3 Then downloaded Root checker, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Official TWRP,SuperSU,Busy Box
4 Once rooted, I removed purify that came with Kingroot and other bloatwares and Installed the above apps. You don't have to do it but that is what I did.
As from here, you choose what you want to do. You are FREE to debloat and install what you want.
I will like to thank all the developpers on this site and thoses who a have showed my ways to find a solution. It is not always clear. But atleast they have tried.
So I am transmitting my experience for others.
Second stage finding the best Nougat or Oreo setup for me in a week or two.
Have a nice day
