Since I want to root my phone and I´m on .69 I´ll have to downgrade to .42 to obtain root and do OTA update to .69. Anyway, downloded tools (flashtool 0.7.1.0, .42ftf file generic, superoneclick) and installed them. Installed the right drivers etc..
Bootloader unlock allowed yes
->bootloader closed, don´t need unlock for this right?
Problem:
1) When selecting ftf file i have no options to click(wipe cache, wipe userdata are not existent) Anyone else experiences this?
2)When going into flash mode(back button pressed and USB cable plugged in) flashtool doesn´t flash the ftf file. Instead it gives me this error

Hi guys
Wondering if any of you can help me
I have recently bricked my R800I from installing rooted firmware then the system ran an update since will not boot, I can't access fastboot as no blue light will show up only green as it is charging.
Phone only vibrates when the power button is pressed and SE pc companion will not fix the phone as it states the software is 'modified'
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated
This is the method I used and it worked perfectly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
Flash the firmware back to 2.3.2 with Flash Tool, root it and then do an OTA update. I'm running R800i 2.3.3 rooted with zero problems.
Edit: Updating the firmware with PC Companion is bad news if you're rooted. Stick to the OTA method. I've just removed PC Companion altogether so I don't update accidentally.
No good after flashing it, it still will not boot even though i get..

Hmm, well if the Flash Tool doesn't work and you can't fastboot I'm not sure what else to suggest. Sorry mate.
Is there anyone that can save my phone :'(

Please help! Disconnect phone and try again?
Try this UK firmware: Baseband 64
https://rapidshare.com/files/698194045/R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf
Works for me all the time! No errors and a good firmware
Also are you sure it's unlocked as in bootloader unlocked and not just rooted?
Go to the directory of flashtool and in drivers make sure Flashtool-drivers.exe is installed fully
Good luck
Bootloader is unlocked via Official SE page.
Finally managed to flash Enchanced .58 v2, but im trying to get back to stock .42 UK Generic.
When i try to load .ftf in flashtool, clicking at file in flashmode window. There are no files shown up at right side, drag&drop gives message : Flashing Aborted
Do u get any kinda error ...or it just freezes....???
try checking the notification light...if its still on or it goes off...
And have u tried any other firmware...?
try changing the kernel....perform a factory reset and clean all the cache ...and then try flashing again....
I have this issue usually reboot, change usb socket or close firewall help for me atleast.
I am going to write a noob friendly flashtool guide for XDA and my website soon.

Hey guy, i am afraid of unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM then using rooted ROMS and Kernals because i would like to revert back to fully stock as when i 1st got the device so i can install official OTA's when they are available. Is there anyway to revert back to stock recovery and relock the bootloader? I have tried to search this alot on XDA but nothing seems to help exactly. Can someone please provide instructions to get back to full stock?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794800 Here you will find how to relock bootloader. To get to stock you need to install via SEUS while recognizing your device as xperia S. later you can root it and edit build.prop file to recognize as SL.

maybe you have usb driver issues. please try on a different OS and make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed. also, does your phone have unlocked bootloader?

If it keeps happening with all those different firmware's then you need to try:
(1) Different usb port on computer yes sometimes this works
(2) Different version of flashtool older version - newer version depending what you are on
(3) Re-Install drivers on computer
(4) Disable your antivirus
(5) If available try another computer
Not necessarily in that order
Hope that helps
