Hello guys,
I am selling my phone so I want to remove root and all personal details
I have removed some system apps too
As of now I am on firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42
Should I just flash my phone using LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf to make it like new,
Will it give me any problem as I am flashing same firmware again?
I am waiting for your replies
Thanks
If your bootloader is locked then use pc companion, seus or flashtool. If you want it as original then pc companion is your best bet as the flashtool files may be generic rather than specific to your country.

Thanks for your reply sinkster,
PC Companion says that my phone is up to date so I guess I will have to use Flashtool
Hopefully it will remove root and other things that I had done with the phone

You could use the repair function in PCC.
It'll remove root, restore all system apps, etc.
Is there any chance that PC Companion will downgrade the firmware as if that happens then I will have the 0% battery problem?
As far as I know PCC won't downgrade your firmware.
I have an issue on my device, it won't charge at all or only connected to charger while not charging at all!
I have rooted my device (Bin4ry) and now I want my warranty back for repair.
I have managed to charge it to 30 per cent and install clean firmware using flashtool.
My firmware was .ftf file that I created myself from Sony Mobile Update Service earlier.
Question is: Do I have my warranty back? Do they have a way to find out I used program called "flashtool" and not "PC Companion". As I said I made .ftf myself and did not download from xda.
Yes ! You have Your warranty back.
Don't worry - be happy
Why don't you just repair the firmware via Update Service?

I don't know, I did not want to wait for download to finish as my battery was 30 percent already and I already had my backups :\
Also, I was afraid that PC Companion would not want to repair phone without 100 percent.
PS: Forgot to mention that my bootloader was never unlocked - no worries there

Great!
PC Companion can repair phone with 50 percent of battery - if I remember correct.
First things first -
1) Are you sure that it's not a problem with your battery or your charger? It might not be a problem with the phone but with the cable or the charger instead. Try using different cables/chargers that you know work, and try again.

I have a problem, the phone turns off if you pull out the power cord, but is not the battery, the phone starts, and if you enter recovery mode does not turn off, the problem is when you start android. I'm going to say what and done with phone since yesterday until now that I am writing to know if anyone can help me.
Yesterday install CM 10.2 final version. Previously install the recovery needed to install it. Then install the applications I use regularly (whit Titanium backup). After trying it, I uninstall it, try to return to the Rom eXistenZ, so install 10.3.1.A.2.67 C6502 Generic LAM (tft, who had previously) then root with Kingo Android ROOT, then install a dualrecovery for ZL from here and finally install http://nut.xperia-files.com/ eXistenZ. I hope someone can help me with my problem.

It doesn't matter what rom you flash, the problem will not be solve, even you restore your phone to factory reset...
This problem is indeed come from the battery or battery management..I have similar issues but I have sent to Sony service center for repair and get it back in perfect condition....you will not pay anything if you have warranty...just make sure you relock bootloader and unroot your phone...
Hope this help..

Will flashing a stock FTF unroot my phone? I only ask because my headphone jack is wearing (My phone's only one month old!), and im wondering whether i should send it for repairs now.

Yes, flash stock FTF will unroot your phone but not relock your bootloader...
First you need to restore TA Partition and then relock your bootloader to restore your Bravia Engine back....hope you have back up your TA Partition...an then flash stock FTF to restore your phone...
After that you can send it to Sony for repair....you may send it now...why keep a broken phone right...
The repair will vary, like me, it takes about 2 month until I receive it back...some may take only a week...

Thanks, i flash the stock rom and will take it for service.
Greetings, I have Xperia M, Single Sim, C1905 (firmware 15.1.C.2.8). Half-rooted.
As I explained in this thread here I am unable to achieve full-root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50832326) due to something screwy on my phone. I have already full-rooted my girlfriend's Xperia M, same firmware, with no problem at all so this is how I know that there is something wrong with my phone that wont let me achieve full root.
I have already done a Factory Reset which didn't help me achieve full-root either so I would like to totally wipe the phone and start with a fresh OS as if it's brand new from the store. My question is: How can I do this? What tools do I need and what steps would I need to follow? Please help me out...
Note: This may have happened because I used the NUT Tool designed for the dual-sim version of this phone at first when I first tried to full-root it. So now when I try to use the Anto Kus Tool for the single sim variant which I should have used the first damn time it doesn't work. If anyone knows how to erase whatever "data" the dual-sim NUT tool put on my phone that is interfering with the single-sim Anto Kus Tool I would appreciate it. Like I said, a hard factory reset (but I didn't wipe SDcard0) didn't help. But I guess if no one knows how to do that then I will need to totally wipe the phone and start over... (or buy a new phone!)

You can use the Sony PC Companion to repair your firmware, this will do a fresh install.

Thanks for your reply, any instructions on how to do this? When I plug in my phone to my computer, PC Companion says my phone is fully updated which is true (newest firmware). And I don't see any option in PC Companion where it says "Repair Firmware" or something similar. My options from left to right are Support Zone, Xperia Transfer, Contacts Setup, Media Go, Sync Zone, Backup & Restore & File Manager. Cheers

Recently, Xperia Acro S was been removed from the Unlocking Bootloader list on the Official Sony site.
As maintaining a thread on Acro S section, some of my friends were unable to unlock their bootloader due to missing device in the list.
So, I Emailed Sony few weeks ago requesting them to re-list Acro S, and they said, they'll look at this. Now its been Re-listed.
I have even attached three screenshots for your conformation. So see it, Just check out below three links,
SS-01 || SS-02 || SS-03
For those who were waiting to unlock their phone, here's a good news for you all. Go ahead and get the unlock code from official Sony site providing them your IMEI.
1. To Get Unlock Code just click HERE!
2. Unlocking Bootloader step-by-step Guide, just click HERE!
Regards,

Hey but too bad is I totally brick my phone. Almost all of the solution found by google seems no used.
Out of surprise, it happened for most of the Xperia Phones who are heavy flashing with custom ROM.
Check out the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/help/xperia-acro-s-sim-card-service-detect-t3200650
Now my XAS is becoming a powerful MP4 Player. What a desperate. ;( ;(

Did you checked weather your Bootloader is unlocked? If not then check it.
Also try to repair your phone through PC companion.
Its a strange problem. Hearing it first time.
Did you followed exact procedure of the Guide that I linked?
I don't think it occurs due to heavy flashing of ROMs, because I have used every ROM available for the phone for almost 100 times. I usually change my ROM after a month.

The problem occurred when the user try to flash back to stock ROM from Custom ROM.
The Bootloader is unlocked.
Now the BL appear to be like this: Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No (*#*#7378423#*#*)
Enter fastboot fail (No fastboot detected), Only Flash is allowed.
To install CWM or TWRP required fastboot, so I can't do anything besides keep trying to flash wiith different version of stock FTF.
Solution I tried but failed:
- Fix using Sony PC Companion (PCC)
- Flash any version of stock ROM, inclusive of just flashed the "Baseband" only.
- Flash Acro-HD S0-03D ROM then flash back to stock ROM.
- *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Set preferred network type (any of the option & reboot)
- Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode(any option & reboot)
- Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Select providers (automatic or manual), it manage to detects the service providers but registered on the network failed.
- Insert other active SIM Card
I try to locate the Antenna Board but it seems like it was attached with the mainboard. Unlike Xperia Z, the Antenna Board is seperated.
I assume this problem occurred when the partition accidentally bricked by Flashtool? I did try to flash different version of Baseband, nothing seems work.
I need someone favors. Create a Pre-rooted Stock ROM(.ftf) with Recovery Accessed (CWM or TWRP).
I found somewhere from this forum stated that tried to install back any of the Custom ROM to fix the No Signal Issue which it appeared to be my last hope. Without Recovery(Required Fastboot to install), I couldn't install any custom ROM.

First of all let me clear that 'Unlocking Bootloader Allowed = No'
That means you cannot unlock it unless your coming to stock from other ROM.
Also Bootloader can be unlocked only once. So if your coming back to stock from custom, why did you tried to unlock your BL again?
Even if you flash stock ftf, you no need to unlock your BL again.
Secondly, don't try to flash other ROMs into your phone, you could mess up everything, even hard brick.
Your Fastboot mode isn't working, right? If so, then try to install fastboot drivers from flashtool driver pack. Maybe it could work.

I did not lock my BL, it just lock back by themselves. I still remember I unlock my BL with Sony Official way in 2013. After that, I did not touch that BL again. It's just after the recent flash which I did the same way like before(Custom to stock ROM), everything mess up.

My very last but not recommended solution is to change the motherboard. However, looking at the posting not only me having the issue and it mostly happened when users are flashing back from Custom ROMS to Stock ROMS.
Changing motherboard is like changing another phone, your feeling towards the phone changed.

After flashing stock ftf, the BL status always shows 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No' but it is actually unlocked. So it does not get relock after flashing stock ftf.
It seems like a serious problem.
Maybe, flashing other ROM will help you a bit. For that Obviously your phone must enter into fastboot mode (which is not happening). In this case did you use 'dd' command for installing recovery? If not then you could try it. And I think you'll be succeeded to install recovery and further you can flash ROM.zip through recovery.
You just need to copy recovery.img into your internal memory and enter some command's using adb shell.

You must have used a newer version of flashtool. This is causing similar issues for many people. The only solution for now seems going to Sony service center. There is another method too, flashing the TA backup, but I don''t know if it works or not.

Latest UPDATE about the issue, PLEASE TAKE NOTE BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO BRICK YOUR PHONE JUST LIKE ME. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
@hitman-xda , Please pass this message around. Btw, How to quote the name?
If everyone here in this post flashed their phones with Flashtool 0.9.19.x version, then congrats my friends, we're all become owners of bricked phones with no network signal. Flashtool 0.9.19.x versions have sript error which replaces original Ta partition leading to unlocked bootloader to become locked and loss of network signal. If you're guys haven't backuped your Ta partition prior to bootloader unlocking then that's all.

Flashing with latest flashtool flashes a partition which renders modem of the phone useless. Yes, I mean the TA partition. Each phone's TA partition is unique, so if You flash mine or other person's TA partition, Your phone would not even boot.
This is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo OVER! It means my phone is bricked forever.
It's their mistake but we have to bear it on our owns.

Yes, nothing worked because Flashtool just accidentally bricked our Sony in the whole world. A careless mistake destroy the phone.
In 0.9.18.X, simlock.ta is always excluded by default but a careless mistake on the version 0.9.19.(1234) (at that time), The Simlock.ta is included while flashing. Each phone TA has their own unique number. Besides changing the mianboard (the only solution right now), no ones manage to solve this issue.
I wonder how many Sony phone in the world has already been bricked by this Flashtool update.
Androxyde said:
On 0.9.18.X, even if simlock is included, it is excluded from flashing
On 0.9.19.5 I did this way :
- simlock is excluded by default with a warning when including it (unticking button)
- When simlock is included, when flashing, a YES/NO box appears asking if you are absolutely sure you want to flash this unit.
- When creating bundles, simlock can be included (no risk with 0.9.18 as it is always ignored)
So if you have a TA backup, with 0.9.19.5 you can restore the 07DA unit (then reactivating the phone). Thing you cannot do with any previous release as 07DA unit is hardcoded_excluded.
I will publish another patch that will backup any TA unit that is about to be flashed. That way there will always be a solution to come back to the previous state.
simlock, if present, is always ignored in 0.9.18 release
simlock, if present is excluded by default with the ability to include it with a warning and a user query before flashing the unit
people who had issues are ones using ftf bundles created prior to 0.9.18 with simlock included. Never had issues on 0.9.18 as it is excluded by default, I forget to keep this exclusion on 0.9.19.[1234] and added a defautl exclusion on .5 with the ability to include it anyway.
But maybe it is not the right way ... I was asking myself when I did it. I want to give the ability to restore 07DA unit if ever a backup exists
The only way to recover from locked phones is to reactivate them in a service center or to restore the 07DA unit.

At least you're out of trouble. I suggest you need to backup your TA Partition just in case.
Each TA is unique and cannot be transferred.
If your TA is used by 3rd party, they may face a Hard Brick & cannot be recovered anymore.
Well, this is an added Security by Sony. They are not stupid to "share" openly for free.
Now I'm realize.
