I unlocked my bootloader via Omnius , decided to flash sony ics beta due to me being on .42 firmware , correctly entered all the commands nad flashed, but I was stuck in a bootloop and so i decided to try flash tool which gave me :
ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="MEMORY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="HASH_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Block verification failed";
When trying to flash system or baseband ; kernel flashed fine. It still didn't boot. Tried wotanserver, it stopped when flashing the system. SEUS simply says that I'm on the latest firmware ; I can't repair anything. So now, I have no idea as to what to do...
EDIT-Can't get into fastboot either now -_-.
You did wrong mate, you should have flashed with 0.62 firmware and not 0.42 ! they warned about that !
I hope someone more experience could help you , on my play everything is working with ICS

So you did. Sorry. Have you tried more than one FW version? I don't know much, I can only suggest what I would try in a similar situation. Which would be wiping everything wipe-able and flashing any and all ftf files I had til my phone worked again. Also, kernels add backups.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
When you say you can't repair anything, is that via SEUS?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
It was yes,I can now but its just flashing over the same version of firmware that I have installed ; I'm guessing I still have DRM intact .
A repair is supposed to flash the same version. Did it fix it?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
No it didn't. HOWEVER, after ****ting myself for around 6 hours, I noticed after I flashed the ftf via omnius my unlocked bootloader was gone(couldn't get into fastboot)...Simply did the process again and now I'm back in business .
EDIT- Thanked your posts MilkyJoe for atleast bothering to help me =D.
I know what it's like to Google problems only to be met with "answers" like, "Try Google" or, "Use the search function". Or even posts with no answers. Which forces you to ask questions yourself, often not getting answered.
If I answer and it doesn't help the OP, it might help somebody else Google-ing a similar problem.

What am I supposed to do now? I have been using 2.3.4 rooted all yesterday and found it not that smooth and sensitive,so I used flashtool to flash it back to v 2.3.2,and used gingerbreak 1.2 to root.
Then after reboot the battery turns to 0%,and I tried reinsert the battery \ flash another firmware\ use Sonyericsson Surport Zone to repair。 BUT NONE WORKS！！！
Is the phone damaged phsically? Really can't deal this situation 。 I tried another battery，still…… So I have to use my phone with the charger now,as I unplug the cable,the phone will turn off immediately with a 0% battery warning。

there isn't any help there...
So you have an unlocked bootloader (since you used rooted 2.3.4). did you try to reflash that firmware?
Did you try with Doomlords kernel?
Did you try relocking your bootloader and use pcc or seus to repair?
There are several things that can be done, don't panic.....
there is also a thread around here about weird battery behaviour, i'm on my phone now and can't find it for you atm otherwise I'd give you the link.

I tried all the methods .Even doomkernel doesn't work.
Now I'm searching the thread you mentioned
If you plug in the charger(USB) and remove the battery the phone should boot. Try a battery calibration app.

well, you all probably found this thread:

seems it's a complicated problem that has no fix yet, sorry guys!
So I have to wait for the fix. Need help from official.
Right have lost track of what update is what I have 2.3.3 UK generic, rooted and bootloader unlocked with doomlords kernel think it was the first one. Have trawled the forums and not sure what the right way to update to 2.3.4 is, like I say I have confused myself
Can some one point me in the right direction please

All you need is the img, which is already rooted, the ftf is for those with a locked boot loader.
ok cool thanks thought i may need to do both as people were complaining of losing wifif, ok here goes then cheers for the help

Might be an idea if you do have issues to flash the ftf and wipe user data, but I just flashed the image and haven't had any issues.
Had to do both in the end as WiFi didn't work, all good now though

Hi guys,
I am trying to update a stock standard GB 2.3.6 LT15i for my boss.
I have tried doing it via PC Companion, but it seems to get stuck in an update loop. It says that an update is available, and starts to download files - but then goes back to the beginning of the process after about 20 minutes.
I have tried this on 2 different PC's, both Win 7 x64.
I would like to try update the phone using FlashTool now, but I am used to Samsung phones, so I am not sure of the steps.
I just wanna confirm if it is ok to flash this file via FlashTools -
LT15i- Generic GLobal World 4.1.0.B.587 (16/8/2012)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836071
I do not plan on rooting the phone, but I also want to know if this is gonna clean wipe the phone? I will do a backup in PC Companion.
Anything I might need to know? Do I need to worry about bootloaders?
Thanks in advance.
It's okay to flash that file with Flashtools. It's really easy and there is a very small chance to do anything to your phone. Even if you brick it it will be only a soft brick (0.0001% chance to soft-brick it) And yes, it will wipe the phone
You dont have to worry about bootloaders, as long as you flash stock sony roms there wont be any problems
Thanks malimukk, I'll give it a try this morning.
Remember to check the no final verification box or you will get an error message,the phone will be ok and will be updated.

It don't cause any probs with install but with flashtools it shows error. It may be fixed now with latest version, but when ics first came out there was prob with final verification.

Hi guys, as the title said, I want to root my new Xperia Play R800a, and I am very lost right now. Ultimately, my goal is to install Xperia NXT 2r1. I think that since I have the r800a version, I am not able unlock the bootloader, so I am ok with not having a custom kernel.
But the problem is, I'm totally lost right now. Could anyone show me a guide or something to what I'm supposed to do to start? That's all I'm asking.
What I HAVE done is downloaded everything they asked for me to download in the post, and have installed flashtools, but whenever I try flashing the firmware 4.0.2 enhanced, I am not able to do so. It is just stuck on a screen where it tells me to go to fastboot mode, but I go to fastboot mode, and for some reason it isn't recognized. (I know it's fastboot because the power button is glowing blue.) I think a driver might be installed incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to install it correctly after.
I'm sorry if my post isn't that helpful, I'll add any more information if you guys want me too.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I actually did that right after. What's wrong now though, is that I got it flashed, but If i try to root it, nothing happens. I press the button and there is no response. Any solutions?

Sorry for the late response -
I flashed Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced, the one that they told me to flash in the guide.
I did notice however, that it said that it was for r800i. I just assumed it was universal. Is there a specific firmware I should be flashing for r800a?

I went to that link and downloaded and flashed R800a_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftfwith vendor partition NEWEST FTF, but the same thing happens when I try to root. It's like the button is unresponsive. Is there a specific ftf I was supposed to flash?
Alright found out the problem. Apparently there are two versions of flashtool. One version doesn't work while the other does. I honestly don't know what the difference is. But for other people who might be facing the same problem, if your flashtool has only three icons, Flash, Root, and check for SU permissions I think (it looks like a key), then you have the wrong version. Your flashtool should have 7 icons.
Doesn't Matter

Oh yes, I found that out a bit later. The problem was lying in the flashtools I was using. Once I got the right flashtools, I reflashed the previous firmware rooted it, installed the rom, and it all worked perfectly.
hello ,
today i unlocked my bootloader got cwm and flashed CM11 but after this al was done i had 2 major problems. I have a xperia M c1905
1. when i first booted he didnt ask for my PIN to unlock my SIM and i had no service and i cant call or sent any sms , so i start searching for apps that could cause it but i could'nt find anything so i looked in setting and then i found that my imei is unknown and my baseband also
2. when my phone gets in stand-by i cant unlock my screen unless i pull my battery
EDIT: i think ive solved the 2nd problem i changed the way to unlock
is there anything i can do?
greets
Try flashing the stock firmware again and see if everything works again. If it does, flash cm again and see if there r any changes. If flashing stock firmware doesn't helo, then you probably messed up somewhere really bad in unlocking or flashing. In that case, i think itsvpermanent. Im not an expert at all in this matter but i wanted to help a brother out. Good luck

To get the firmware here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7wdGoA4WPZAY01EMG0xX1RSWmM/preview?pli=1
To install it on your phone this is what you need to do:
Download the required ftf, for u, its the 4.1.2 ftf. Place it in the firmware folder in the flashtool folders. Open flashtool. Click the lighting icon. Flashmode. Click on the firmware u want to flash. Press flash. Wait a while, while it prepares files. When it asks you to, turn off ur phone, press and hold the vol. Down button and insert the usb which is attached to the computer at the other end. Let it flash. When done, remove usb. Reboot phone.
Hope this helped:beer::screwy::beer::screwy:

well i try it as soon as possible
but i readed on other forums that changing imei in *#*#3364663#*#* will work too but it wont open anymore...
or that my fts files are corrupted or something like that , can you confirm that?
you need to flash 4.3 not 4.1.2
for the latest cm 11 update (beta 4).you need to have the 4.3 update for baseband.
source : i installed cm11 beta 4 from 4.3 with no bugs
