If you want to update OTA to .62, update first, then you can mod your phone

"Failed to verify sin header" I get this everytime I try to flash with flashtool and I'm guessing this error is stopping me from using seus and pc companion

How would i flash the kernel using command prompt? Sorry im abit of a noob command prompt. Or do you mean using fast boot??
And i can only find the rom for arc i cant find it for lt18
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2

Yea I meant to flash thru fastboot mode .
Download the kernel.sin file(of stock Rom).
Copy it to the same folder where you have your fastboot file.
If you are running windows 7,hold shift button and right click inside the folder and select "OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE"...
If you are running windows xp,open command prompt from start menu and type "cd PATH TO FASTBOOT FOLDER"...
Some times this won't work,so again type "diskdrive:" where disk drive is the drive like f: or g: ....
After it opens type this
Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
This is the process to flash the kernel file....

did you try flashing the kernel separately???
If you succeed with that...
TRY THIS: WHEN FLASHING .42 USING FLASHTOOL, THERE IS A OPTION CALLED "EXCLUDE KERNEL"... CHECK THAT AND FLASH THE FTF FILE...
I guess that should work...

Google it, i remember saw it in one forum/blog out there when i lookin for .57 stock for my R800x
And the link is alive there
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

I suggest you .58 enhanced v2 over .62 bcoz it gives 420 mb data partition and easily rootable if you want to keep root.

Root Sort of Fails

Hi,
So for the past 2 month, I've been trying to root my r800at, but it installs superusers but it doesn't function. I can't remove the semi root, but I need to get a root. I've tried the superuser fixer, but it says everything is normal. The Root Checker app says no root and so does ROM Manager, which in this case is a dire app.
PLS HELP!

Pls don't keep creating new thread. U already got a few. So just wait or google ur answer. U're gonna piss off the mod if u keep this up. Meh...
Regards,
Sdojoin

Stating which fw you are running would be helpful.
But seriously, search.

Flash a 2.3.4 ftf through flash tools

Yeah att is stuck on 2.3.3. Fw 285 which is not rootable.
U need flashtool and 2.3.4. Fw preferably 42 or 58.
62 and 69 are not rootable yet (except of course for unlocked bootloaders that can flash a custom kernel.)

Do you have the xperia play drivers installed for flashtool to recognize your play? I think your installing the wrong ftf file. There are multiple ftf files for r800x, r800at, r800i, r800a and yes they are all different but not interchangable. You have to find the right one.

I have xplay drivers, but I couldn't find a r800at ftf but I found a r800a. Anyone has one?

There is no 2.3.4 R800at ftf. R800a and r800i will work for u. Not r800x.
Captain67 has a thread in development with a bunch of ftf. Just search for it.
EDIT: remember to update flashtool.
Latest version is 9.8 I think?
If all else fails, consider visiting wotan server. They'll flash your phone for like €2.

[Q] [QUESTION] Strangest thing happened on my Xperia S LT26i

So i used the method from DooMLord to root my LT26i.
In that method i had to flash my .96 kernel back to .211 root it and then flash it back to .96
But when i tried to flash it to .211 I rebooted my Xperia S i checked the build and it was still .96. The strange thing is that it told me about a new update. The .96 one, but I already have it so it mindf's me. It says that I can only install it through the PC. So i tried and it says that the Sony servers are down ATM. Does anybody know what's happening?
EDIT: The servers aren't down I can install the update but i still don't get the reason why it's telling me that there's an update for a build that I already have.

oh right
check if your drivers are installed
also check if you have a correct ftf installed
maybe updating flashtool may help
i had this issue with a older version of flashtool

Yes, i followed a tutorial on how to install my flashtool drivers, because it wasn't installing. Now that i installed them it still doesn't work. I have the correct ftf. I downloaded it from his post. And i have the latest flashtool(0.9.13.0). Any suggestions?

to root right
it only flashes the 211 or 200 kernel provided
it wont change your build number
your kernel version will change (if sony changed it between 200/211/96)
soz i misread initialy
