Try to install the drivers that are in the /drivers folder where you installed flashtool, otherwise install Sony Update Service or PC Companion to get the proper drivers for your phone. Fastboot is not supported on the U20, so choose flashmode for anything you want to do.

Hì Guys,
I'm a new member.
Yesterday, i've deleted all folders and files into "SD Card" folder, that, for ICS, it is the System folder (so don't the external SD).
Now, my PC can't read my device, the Camera isn't running, some settings are Force Closing, i can't install custom ROMs and i can't root my device.
How can i solve my problem ? Thanx u

Thank you for your answer drsanket_xperia_u, but PcC doesn't view my device.
In fact, Windows can install ADB's drivers, but can't install MTP's drivers. And i can't flash any ftf because flashtools doesn't view my phone...

Fedex, you're still getting all the issues like Camera failing and all ?
And Maazdraco,yes thats the way to flash FTF with Flashtool If your phone isnt detected, you gotta install the Flashmode drivers and your Device's drivers from drivers folder whereever you installed Flashtool
Hope it helps
Cheers

Hi buddy
guess u r having trouble wid drivers
What Windows r u using??
If it is xp then make sure u have pcc installed
And if windows 7 then before starting flashing procedure
Jz once connect ur phone in flashmode so that the windows may instal drivers for it ( make sure mtp is off)
Were you rooted before this happened?

There's a small mixup The person who deleted his system Files is Fedex99.maazdraco just wants to flash a stock FTF
Maazdraco, go to the directory where you installed Flashtool. There's a folder called Drivers there. Run the file inside and select Flashtool,Fastboot and also the device drivers for your phone Then try again

Thank You but that's what I did.
Do I need to have Internet access on the pc? Do I need to connect the phone? If yes then in which mode?
It takes a lot of time... Is it normal??
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2
No. No and No again Internet not required. Connect phone only when prompted. Mode required is Flashmode and I've shown below how to get to Flash Mode ( you need your phone turned off btw)
Ill quickly summarize
1) Start Flashtool
2) Click the Lightning icon then select your FTF
3) Exclude baseband if your device is STxxi and the firmware is for STxxa or viceversa
4) Press ok and start Flash. Then, after a minute or so, Flashtool will ask you to connect the device.
5) Turn off the phone. Connect the usb cable to the PC (not connected to Phone yet)
6) Holding down the "Volume Down" key, you connect the cable to your phone.
7) Give it a few seconds and a Green Light shows up. Then, flashing starts on Flashtool
8) Once flashtool starts flashing, you can stop holding down the Volume Key
9) Wait for the process to finish then unplugh the phone and turn it on
This should be clear enough. If you still have doubts, just reply here
Oh i see! Lol

After step 7 flashtool shows in red tgat drivers not installed. Install drivers they can be found in the driver folder. Driver blah... Blah....

Hm.. Can you try rebooting after installing drivers and then running Flashtool as admin ? Vista can be a drag sometimes when it comes to working properly -
Today I was trying to unlock bootloader of my Neo L but I cannot understand how to enter fastboot mode. So any of you who has done this please let me know. Hope to hear soon.

Even the "helpers" seem to have no clue...
Bagiz, you must hard-reset the device and flash a FTF. Then it will work again.
How this is done has been mentioned numerous times on xda and elsewhere on the net, no need to repeat it again and again for each brickflasher.

I tried to flash with FTF file via Flashtool, the flash seem like nor reconize my device.. in the log is "device is disconnected"
I saw somebody in youtube revive his phone via CMD with 3 .img files: boot, recovery and system (i think)
But i cant find such files in the net for my tablet..
*rolling eyes* You must first start the tablet in flash mode (turn off, Vol down, then connect USB, then LED should be blue)...

Are you using the right flashtool? this one:
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
And ftf files are flashed in flashmode. Same steps as fastboot, but with volume down instead.
You must also install drivers for the tablet on your Windows PC... *twiddling thumbs*...
Ok thanks ill try it when i come home
