Updating 6.0.f.0.72 to 6.0.f.0.111 - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hey, I have a LT28i which i bought off Expansys and it came unlocked with 6.0.f.0.72 installed but when I connected it to my com the PC Companion told me there was and update but after multiple times I still cannot update my phone. I have read the threads and don't really understand the process of flashing and I do not want to lose all my data on my phone. Can anyone help or direct me to the correct thread please?
On a side note I cannot get my Ion to transfer the apps to my SD card as well as all my camera photos are still stored on the internal memory is there any setting i can make to get them to go straight to my SD card?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can flash it to .111. All you have to do is make sure that you uncheck the wipe data part of the flashtool. And for the SD card problem, I have no solution to it as I don't have a SD card for my ion atm.

Since the ion has internal storage, you have to look for the ext card to see your SD card. SD card on mine is actually the internal storage.

Thanks a lot. Is it possible to rename the SD card from ext to SD and make the phone think it's the internal one? And if i flash it to .111 will i be able to recieve updated from SE or do i have to keep reflashing it when something new comes out?

.111 is still an official firmware. You can still update without issues. Not sure on the renaming part. Give it a try and see what it does. If it doesn't work just rename it back.

Okay, i've read the flashing guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but i'm still lost. the program wont detect my Lt28i. can anyone advise please? =/

Does your PC pick it up? If not and the phone is just charging when connected you are probably not using the cable that came with the phone and it is probably a charge only cable. At least that's the problem I ran into at first lol

For Xperia Ion, you have to hold the Up Volume button as you connect it with the usb. The back button is for the older models. Remember, keep your phone charged before you flash.

The problem is that I cant even get flashtool to detect my phone to flash. Even with pressing the button.

You might need drivers... Go to the drivers downloader in the flash tool folder and click on it.

Just try it again and again until it's done. Sony's server is very bad so you can't just update successfully with only one try. I had to try it a whole day to get it updated to 111. When you see the download bar run full, your device will get updated.

Boot into the bootloader, then select clear storage. This is a COMPLETE wipe of data...
Or, try and flash a new rom first before doing the prior.
i cant flash anything cause my sd card is wipe, there is nothing on it... i did the clear storage and nothing... how can i get my sd card to be read on my pc or mac

System Status always Modified.

In a bit of a pickle.
No matter what I do, my system status is always modified.
I've unrooted with TA, flashed stock, then wiped cache, wipe data, and wipe cache.
It shows normal the first boot.
Then when it restarts, it's modified again.
Suggestions?

You have to do a data/factory reset in settings/backup and restore mate.That should fix it.
Tried that, still modified.
Get it rooted again. Install triangle away and use it. Then flash stock rom via odin, wipe cache/data and factory reset. Viola!
Thats what I did and it worked.

That's the steps I went through.
Are there any special steps I need before I flash via Odin?
Just TA?
Does it still show Normal after a restart?
Cos for me, it's shows Normal, and just after one reboot, it's automagically modified.
Try to factory reset again. I did it twice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Done that loads of times.
As soon as I restart device, it shows modified.
I need to claim warranty, which is why I need it normal normal normal.
Could it be a problem of the stock firmware?
Does anyone know the CSC of the unlocked version of the N7100?
a friend of mine wanted to claim warranty at o2 in Leeds but couldn't due to device modified. He raised hell but the store wouldn't budge. One of the store sales people asked him if he had insurance, he had.. puked him to one side pretending to calm him down, and told him to go home, or coffee over the phone and come back tomorrow to claim insurance for a new phone.
My friend went back, did that.. and the store salesguy have him another phone under insurance.
My friend could b real lucky and might not work for u. For obvious reasons he won't tell me the name of the kind understanding fellow. But he left a letter of compliment for the sales guy good service.

I would do that, but won't accept a refurbished device over my new one.
If only they give new replacements.
Anyway, I finally got it back to Normal.
I used Kies to restore it, and it's on Normal no matter how many times I restart.
I think I just needed to reflash it twice to get it back to Normal.
We'll see what they say today, as I went in yesterday, and they somehow said my CSC isn't valid... wtf.
Apologies if not relevant...
...but my brand new, sealed box Vodafone N-7100 shows "Modified" until I remove the SD card, at which point it show "Unmodified" and allows update check etc. but as soon as I put in the SD card again.
I was panicking that it had been rooted or something but I think it's just a weird software bug. I found a guy in a forum mentioning the SD card thing and sure enough it fixed it for me.
My SD card is 64GB, formatted as exFAT by the phone itself, incidentally.
Anyone else having this problem with a 100% stock, unrooted, unhacked phone?
U mean if u insert a 64gb sdcard formatted to exfat or will show modified? That's weird. Lucky I use 32gb cards
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Yes that's exactly right. I haven't actually tried formatting FAT32 to see if it has the same issue. Also I haven't tried other SD cards - I've only had the phone a short while.
I used to use the same SD card in my Galaxy S2 with no issues.

I have the same issue with a T-Mobile (US) version. Removing the 64GB exFAT micro SD card and rebooting causes the device status to change from Modified to Normal. Reinserting the micro SD card causes the device status to show as Modified. Is the only fix to format the SD card as FAT32?

S3 soft brick and no usb connection

Ok, so i've spent endless hours and by endless i mean 8 hrs searching for a cure on my issue. I've hit road blocks in every corner because everyone resorts to either odin or kies, which i cannot use either.
I have a refurbished att i747 that for some reason came with cwm when i bought it from att. I've had it for a couple months now and I just plugged it into my computer to charge it (because my computer or any other has never read my phone) and as soon as I plugged it in, it shut itself off.
I went to turn the phone back on and it stalls at the "Galaxy SIII" logo.
I can put it into recovery mode and download mode.
I did a full reset from cwm and also tried putting stock rom on my external storage to flash, but my phone is not reading my external either and I cannot access my internal from my computer to place the rom there.
Im hoping I'm just frustrated and am doing something wrong in this department because i'm thinking it's my only resort.
download mode is useless because my phone does not register on any computer so unfortunately, my best friend odin is out of my reach.
What can I do. I've exhausted almost every option i can think of.
help me!!!
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum.

phones dont ship from at&t with anything other than their carrier's stock firmware and stock recovery. if it did, that should have returned immediately.
what stock ROM did you place on your sd card? is that sd card working on any other devices?
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
are you sure it isnt just the stock recovery you're booting into? that would be the reason why you cant access the sd card to flash anything.

Ya the sd card was from my old phone never had an issue with it before.
I've done custom work to android before and when I purchased this phone (not new) refurbished from att themselves, I assumed it would be ok to go.
I shouldve returned it when my computer wasnt reading my phone and thats my bad.
I never knew it had cwm on it till it softbricked because i've never had an issue, just the normal power off. never had to do recovery so when I went to recovery and was expecting stock recovery, I was surprised to see cwm on there.
"StockRootedGS3V6.zip" I know it's rooted, but i figured i'd try anyway
"I747UCALEM_174ATTALEM_ATT.zip"
those are the only roms I could find for cwm or was I wrong?
thats bizarre. what version is it?
did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on your pc?

I have tried, this sd read on my other androids. this is my first s3.
When i select mount external it gives me the option to unmount it, but doesnt say that it's mounted in the under bar (or whatever the area that shows it's called) so im assuming it's mounted. The problem is that I put the roms in the download file on my computer and when i put the sd card in my phone and mount it, it doesn't show up there. Am i using the right roms? I did not unzip them to the sd, just transfered.

How to downgrade from B114 to B111?

Guys.
Recently installed the B114 leak and have found a massive wake lock bug meaning my device is never sleeping even when in standby. I want to downgrade to B111 without wiping /userdata.
When I try and complete the downgrade via 'local upgrade' I get the error that there is no upgrade file found.
Does this mean I have to flash this via the recovery?
Wait - I had 2 dload folders. 1 inside the other so that's probably the reason for the error.
Will report back.
It still needs so much to do.. usb debugging doesnt stay enabled.. wi fi is constantly getting off .. even when is connected..
it is still laggy i cannot register for huawei cloud backup
Downgrade from B114 to B111 worked fine at mine
yeah just replace file in dload ...
yup just replace the file in the dload folder with the official B111. Actually i've just downgraded the other day, no need to factory reset, although! its advisable to have a factory reset everytime u flash a rom

It seems that the problem was the SC card I was using. Card wich doesnt work is FAT32 and where the update worked is FAT.
Sooo, I hope this helps if someone is formatting their SD card - !! REMEMBER TO CHOOSE FAT OPTION INSTEAD OF FAT32 !!
OK, tried to update via SD card again, well... "Huawei SD card update failed... FAIL". So, FAT or FAT32 doesnt matter. There is something else wrong, I just dont know what.

Mention the steps you do in updating it, so guys here can see if you left out anything. Also just try switching to some other memory card you have. Im just using an old 4 GB memory card of the brand "Kingstone" that was around and it works perfectly fine. In the pdf file regarding update steps, it does mention the following: The MICRO SD card made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.

SGH-i747M - Failed flash wont turn on

Hey guys,
I messed up.. I flashed a modem for the updated version of S3RX, not my current version (4.2.1) and that resulted in a pretty hardcore brick.The only response its giving is the red light with the charger plugged in and battery removed, as well as the QHUSB_DL message on the computer when connected.
I tried imaging a debrick image onto a SD card, and doing that but it didn't work but I'll outline what I did anyway just encase I'm doing it wrong.
1. Using Patriot LX 32gb MicroSDHC card
2. Imaged a debrick file another user provided from their phone (4.2.1) using win32imager
3. Put the SD card in, no battery, power cord removed
4. Put battery in
5. Did button combination for download mode
6. Phone didn't respond
So is there anything else I can try or do I need to get someone to jtag it for me :/

Can you try it with a 16GB card? Ive had some people report failure(except one) with cards larger than 16GB and thus far everyone who has tried it with a 16GB have been succesful. (that I am aware of or atleast the ones who didnt flash a bootloader from a different device model)
Also I was told by -Mr. X- who is where I learned of this process that sometimes you may have to flash the IMG file on the sd card several times and try to access download mode several times before you obtain success.

So when you say flash the IMG file on the sd card several times, do you literally mean do it once, twice, ect.. all in a row?? Because I've only been doing that once each time. I have tried the second part of what you were saying though, I did try many accessing download mode at least seven times

Yes exactly write the file several times in a row then try again. - Mr. X- has successfully used a 32GB card so try again. There is still some hope

I see, okay I'll try that!
Thank you for your advice so far by the way
edit: No luck with doing that :/ What's the chances a 16gb would work instead do you think? Also, would partitioning it work?

Is it possible you flashed the 4.3 bootloader? Perhaps something in the modem file is preventing the phone from debrick in with the older file? Here is a debrick for the SGH - I747M from 4.3 courtesy of - Mr. X- I mirrored it with permission. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4n2b6l32iv9udow/debrick-SGH-I747M-UEMK5.img perhaps it might do what you need it to? Although I shall not be responsible if you actually need a Jtag after that when it could possibly have been recovered with the debrick files?

I suppose it is possible that you have a bad debrick file? Bad downloads happen all the time.

Okay, so I was in disk management to format the SD card so I could start fresh and the imagine file you linked, but I noticed like 14 partitions on it (That werent there before I should add).. I deleted them and went back to formatting, but left me with 29.26gb unallocated that I couldn't reformat.. I've only got 60mb on it now, and that's not even enough for the image
Any ideas what's going on?

GET a copy of mini partition wizard from here http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html Delete all the partitions on it then try to flash the .IMG file again.
when you get ready to use it in the phone again delete all partitions the phone will recognize it as unformatted and prompt you to format it.
when you write The .IMG file it formats and partitions the card to mirror the phones internal sd card.
Same boat
Hey guys! This seems like quite a coincidence to me, but last night I was flashing a new ROM and now my phone is doing the exact same thing as YUMZ. So, I just wanted to say thanks (YUMZ for getting this thread started and theramsey3 for providing the help). I really hope you get this figured out. I was pretty sure after hours of trying to fix it last night that I'd need a new phone.
YUMZ, have you tried using odin3? In v1.83 (only v1.83) I get a yellow com signal from the phone, but when trying to use it, it always hangs at SetupConnection. I don't know if this helps any.

Okay, thank you. I'll try this tonight

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing others are in the same boat as me But if this thread helps more people than me, and you than that's awesome.
I haven't tried doing that, I'll also do that tonight and post back if it does the same thing. Maybe if it does that'll have some significance that it can be fixed? Not sure
edit: I plugged it in with v1.83 open and it didn't recognize it. No yellow signal or anything
