Hey guys n gals,
So I've broke my tablet in some way, last thing I did was flash acip ROM, then I get the Google play services had stopped working, try to flash any other Ron and I get "error 7" in twrp.
I've tried to flash stock .ftf but the tablet just reboots while in flashmode so that doesn't work and when I tried to flash the system bin I was hit with a "wrong device" error or something similar..
I tried to relock the bootloader to use the Xperia companion app to fix my tab but I get a softbrick and all indeed to do is unlock th bootloader again to fix that issue.
I've probably messed up somewhere, flashed a wrong file or something my plan is fresh install twrp to the latest version or another recovery (not been on the z3tc scene for a while so re+learning it all) and see what happens from there.
I've got a SGP 611 windy and all I want is for her to work again , any help at all is much appreciated!!

Hi everybody and merry christmas!!
So i've a problem with my mini pro sk17. It was unlocked, rooted and with latest firmware 0.58.
I've tried to install hybrid rom v4.5, so for that, i put cwm on my phone. I entered it one time (for installaing the rom) and since, no way to get it back! I 've read the thread about cwm installed, and there is one post wich talk about this issue (missed it of course before flashing!!!!gggrrrrrr): now my phone stay at sony ericsson logo.
Flashtool doesn't work on my pc (java problem, but can't resolve it)
I can put my phone in fastboot mode, but when i try to install another recovery, it says that i'm not root, but yes i am.
Nothing else works. Is there a way to erase completely the phone and push back stock rom or something like that?
Thanks for help.

First of all some questions.
How did you install CWM?
What version of CWM did you run?
Is it nAa's recovery?
I think that your recovery is not able to install custom roms and that it has been deleted during the installation of hybrom.
To install a fully functional CWM and to be able to flash custom roms,you will need to install a custom kernel first, that contains CWM.This can be done only by using fastboot.So you better try and make it work...
Hi, thanks for the reply,
the cwm i've installed was with SE extrem tweak installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
but i don't know wich version it was.
Yes i've already tried with flasboot, but the problem is that, when i push the kernel, it says that i'm not root!!
Is there a way to get root with fastboot or adb? cause superone cliq or doomlord script root don't work until my phone is not fully started.
I get adb working some times, but i'm not sure i can do something with it.
Bye

If fastboot says that you are not root, then your bootloader is still locked.Unlock your bootloader (visit this page:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions)
and then flash whatever kernel you want....
Yeahhhhh,
it works!!
Thanks a lot, you're a god for me!!
It is strange cause, it wasn't bootlaoder locked before, so that's why i didn't try to unlock it first. For me it was already unlocked.
So, it's great now i can't do what i want.
HAve a nice day.
Thanks again.

Any ideas on how to fix my Xperia Ray? HELP..
Quick backstory - my Xperia Ray won't read my SIM card anymore. It doesn't even ask for my PIN number, it just boots as normal (after asking me to pick a language) but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating from GB .42 to .62 OTA (to flash a GB ROM) my phone bricked! (Does this mean the DRM keys weren't intact? Confused.)
So, I searched for a solution and ended up using s1tool to relock the bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
Anyway, my real dilemma is - which of the Available Omnius Operations for the Xperia Ray (see link: http://www.omnius-server.com/phone?id=20… should I pick to fix this?
Backup TA
Flash
Identify
Live boot
Repair S1-boot
Restore TA
Revive phone after OTA flash
Unlock bootloader
Unlock network lock by certificate replacement
Repair S1boot? Restore TA? I really don't know. Would really. really appreciate someone's help - I need my phone back urgently!
Updating via OTA on an unlocked bootloader does lead to a bricked Phone, which just requires THIS to fix it.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I'm not sure what you mean though - the link provided in the first post on that thread took me to a dodgy website to download a file called 'downloadmanager
_setup' All that did was install crap like 'Zoomdownloader' and other non-android related rubbish on my computer. So I'm not best pleased about that...
Anyhoo, my phone isn't really bricked - it works fine apart from the SIM problem. I was asking what fix in the Omnius list of options applied to my situation. Do I need to Repair S1-boot? Do I need to 'Restore TA?' I really don't know to be honest.
All I really need to know is what option from Omnius's list applies to my situation...

Just checked the link myself, as it didn't skip the ad and asked you to download something else instead, that should have rang alarm bells. This is what you should have downloaded - FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick

Your Phone was bricked in the first place due to an OTA update, and should actually state in what ever thread you used to unlock not to use the OTA feature after doing so, the attachment normally fixes that, given that you've re-locked using S1Tool then you may have done more harm than good. If I knew what option to suggest I would have done so, so unless anyone else does then it's trial and error I'm afraid.
Is it too late for me to give the link you gave me a shot then? Or might it do more harm than good at this stage? Thanks for your help btw, I appreciate it.

You could try to unlock the boot loader again, flash stock ICS and kernel and try again to connect the sim card...
Or have you tried PC companion to fix your phone? Try this first!
But I can't promise anything, maybe you will end up in a bigger problem than now

Trying to flash the stock roms I received from here-->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370987
I always get a mismatch error suggesting that the software I'm loading isn't correct. Looking at my phone, the model is a bit different.
It's (L090a) while the models listed are (L100a & L100i).
My phone's recovery has been blocked by my carrier Digicel so I'm unable to enter recovery, let alone do any backups via CWM.
Does anyone have access to this stock rom? or at least the correct preloader will do.
Unlocked bootloader?

I'm just curious as to whether you found anything to unlock the bootloader on the L090a. Thats the model I have and my bootloader is locked up tighter than an virgin in a convent.

Well, in short, not yet. But there's hope.
Curently, I have no access to CWM. I was a bit hasty and flashed a ROM for a Blu Life VIEW! My phone couldn't boot, was bricked. I tried flashing the cwm files from lopestorm and I had access to cwm for the first time, but even after flashing the stock L100 files, it couldn't boot. Used a friend's blu life play to extract the stock rom using MTK Droid Tools. Tried hard to revive it.
Currently it's working but back to square one. When I flash a new recovery file (which worked before) the phone doesn't boot and needs to be reflashed and reformatted. Hoping to get some help from a professional. Just have to figure out a way to get the cwm to work.
Realised too that the bootloader being locked isn't a problem once you're using SP Flash Tools.

After searching for a while, I found a way to get CWM on the device. Let me know if you want to know the method I used.
Experimenting with some custom roms at the moment

Yes we are very much interested. Quite a few of us have that same problem and have been looking around but haven't been successful. Please share your method with us.
Thanks we really appreciate it.

I have the same problem. I tried to flash the stock firmware but the problem remains. My advice is not to flash stock firmware! But if the Demo error pops up very frequently, I can help you flash the stock firmware.
Good luck!

To shed some light on what happened ...
I had updated the fonepad to 4.4 kitkat. Afterwards I used rootzenfone 1.4.6 to root it, it failed and it it started acting like I described above.
For days I looked into what I could do and how to resolve it ... Finally I found the solution to my problem.
1. Downgrade the fonepad 7 K012 back to Jelly Bean 4.3. (You can do this by putting the 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware on the root of your mini SD card, label it k012_sdupdate.zip, switch off the fonepad, boot using the power + volume up combination to get into droidboot, select SD update and let it do it's thing.
2. Once it's completed the fonepad will be downgraded to 4.3, however this isn't the end of it, the asus live demo problem still persists, so you must use rootzenfone 1.4.2 or 1.4.4 to complete the rooting process in order to get rid of it once and for all.
3. For me? It was successful and as I rebooted it got stuck in bootloop. So then I flashed the firmware utilizing ADB's fastboot with the following commands:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
4. Rebooted and my troubles were over. However I really wanted to root it ... So I went total nerdmode on xda and finally found a way to root it.
5. Follow these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58782588&postcount=219
6. Enjoy the fat lady's song ...
hi still looking for help with my avoca android tablet. it doesnt boot up into android operating system just stuck on boot screen but can go into recovery mode with things like reboot now, update rkimage and so on.
i have tried to root it with an app called kingo root and says its rooted but i have tried to install a custom rom but nothing happens says aborted. is there anything i can do bare in mind i cannot access the tablet to turn usb debugging on and nothing else. if there is a thread here that will help and get things working again then id be really grateful or if someone can tell me what to do any help will be appreciated.
Well first off root will not allow you to flash a custom rom. You need an unlocked bootloader as well as a custom recovery. Your best bet would be find the stock image and flash that to get it running again and then take a week and do some reading and learn what your doing
I no what I'm doing I just can't find the things I need as the company no longer exist and I've searched hi and lo for a copy of their stock rom but nothing if I had that I no il be ok. But not sure how to unlock bootloader as I've used adb and fastboot but it don't work says waiting for device. Any pointers please

That is one of the biggest issues with cheap devices like this. You will most likely never find drivers or the stock rom for it. The best thing you might be able to pull off is porting a rom from a similar device.
Thanks yeah I think it's my only hope all I got to go by really is that this model of tablet uses jelly bean 4.2 as stock, so may see if can flash a stock rom from googles dev site as they have different model stock rims and just hope that one works. Il try nexus stock one first see if get lucky if not just work done the list. What do you recommend I do first shall I unlock bootloader first even though the command doesn't work in fastboot says device null or waiting when I type fastboot oem unlock. Or am I better starting off with a stock rom using adb? Also what recovery do you recommend I've used twrp and clockwork. Thanks
I'm trying to side load twrp using adb and all I get is opening update package, verifying update package, then installation failed do you no what I'm doing wrong
