[Q] "Error flashing. Aborted" when using Flashtool

Solved, Thanks all..
Need advise asap
i'm using Flashtool 2.9.1 to flash FW 4.0.A.2.368
Unknown Sources & USB Debugging were ON, but i got this message

Any idea?

Let me camp here..the last time I tried to flash the uk generic firmware, I encountered this problem.. Had to restore via seus and now im rooted after unlocking bl..

If I remember correctly, you need to use the second latest flashtool, not the latest one.

2.9.1 is the second latest.
i'm in the same boat here as OP need help please.

Thanks all, it's solved now.
i think the problem is the complicated drivers on my PC.
i use another pc to flash and it's going well..

Glad you got fixed, I did too
I found a different solution, so I'll post in case it helps someone else.
The one thing that was bugging me, was that the flashtool I had was the one I originally downloaded (2.9.1) back when I moded with .145 & this guide quoted 2.9.1 BETA and I don't remember my original as beta. So I downloaded the flashtool again, and when I copied the .exe across over my original it had a different timestamp so clearly a slightly different version.
Worked first time with the beta download.

hey, i have the same problem too, but i try using all yr method but it is still not working. can anyone help!? omg.

before i'm going oversea, i hope there will be some solution to encounter my problem when i come back. just to briefly tell u all what i have done on my phone.
First, stupidly me, i have not seen the latest way to root my xperia play. i went to use the step to unlock my bootloader, and find out there is a better way to root my xperia play without unlocking bootloader.
So, i went to check how to relock my bootloader with flashtool and it was succesfully done.
after that, i went to flash with Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK, and now, the flashing had failed. i wanted to flash it and use gingerbreak, and use ota to update to 2.3.3. However, it was not successfully done.
1 more thing, just wanna check with u guys, to flash my xperia play, and to get the usb working, am i suppose just to install ggsetup-2.2.0.10 to get it working? sorry if i am asking a stupid question, but just to comfirm with u guys, i'll be appreciated.
hope u guys can help, cause i just bought my xperia play recently only, i dun wanna it to brick so early. someone help. please. ):

Make sure you have also tried different cables too! I spent way to long on this and it was just a cable issue. Although drivers matter too so be sure to try different adb drivers. I have the best luck with short thick blackberry usb cables. Maybe borrow one and try it out.

i had this problem too
i use another pc
and its fixed

[Q] Bricked R800a after trying to update using Flashtool

Hey everybody.
I've tried to update my Xperia Play R800a to 2.3.4 using Flashtools, as my country hasn't received this update yet.
After following all the steps it said this:
"04/000/2012 23:00:38 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Then go to application settings
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging"
But I had already turned on both options, and it doesn't turn on anymore.
What should I do?
Thank you all!

How much charge does the battery have? If it is really low you could have burned up the t rest of the juice flashing

It was fully charged. I could restore my phone, tried to flash again, didn't work again, had to restore again (back to 2.3.3).
I'm wondering why I can't flash it.

try a other pc
you must!! install java FIRST!
or try a other usb-cable

[Q] LT15i Brick

So this is my problem, i bought a Xperia arc from Spain ,but i don't live in Spain so i had to decode my phone to work in my country, ok so the guy who decoded my phone said i can update the software and yesterday a new update came out i tryed to install it and now my phone doesn't turn on anymore.
I didn't know what to do, after searching the internet i found the flashtool so i tried to flash my phone everything was good until the end, when this appears
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - Flashing finished.
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - Please wait. Phone will reboot

And this goes on and on.
Can someone tell me what to do.Thanks!

Disconnect the USB cable then power-on the phone.

It doesn't turn on.

You updated over-the-air(OTA) then now cannot turn-on the phone?
Possibly brick if your phone was bootloader-unlocked and you updated OTA. Go to dev section if that's the case, I think they have a solution there on one of the sticky thread.
Or if your phone is not bootloader-unlocked, you may try first Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS) or PC Companion.

New but not noob question

Hey there! I have just bought an xperia arc s lt18i. I am not a noob or new in android so u can answer my doubts normally, I will understand u lol!
I had a galaxy s sl and I think everything was quite different and easier. galaxy s (i9000) ROMS, firmwares, kernels, mods, etc weren't compatible with mine (i9003) and flashing them automatically bricks the phone. I have been reading a lot here and I still don't understand something...
--Are xperia arc and xperia arc s firmwares, roms, kernels and mods compatible with each other? Because I was going to root my lt18i (currently on official ics), I was downloading everything to follow the steps and I noticed I had downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware: LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42. Can I flash this with flashtools? Isn't this an arc firmware or can I flash it in my arc s? Everything is being a bit difficult to me since it is absolutely different to samsung devices and since here there are a looot of tutorials saying similar but not same things...
Hope u understand me and can help me with this.
Thank u

Hi
Flashing arc <--> arc S work normally, if you wipe, if you don't, I would say 50:50=work:not work.
Always remember: Settings will always show that, you flashed. E.g you flashed arc FW on arc S, Settings will show arc.
And it's always better to flash the right Firmware.
If you still have questions, ask them. And press Thanks0

Well, the idea is, that Xperia Arc S is the same to Arc except for the stronger hardware. They share the same software, Arc S just run it smoother, and the games on Arc S feels better, etc.
If a ROM can be run on the Arc then it can run on Arc S. Except for a few cases that the developer HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED the ROM for one of the two device, then the other device will receive bugs (but no brick).
To be honest, I don't feel the difference in Arc and Arc S (I own a few smartphone shops in VietNam). The difference can only be spotted within games, the Arc S does last longer in battery life though

Thanks for ur replies!

It does reboot. It reboots back into flashmode. Disconnect cable and turn on the phone. It is meant to be so.

Use Flashtool 0.9. I will send a mirror by pm.

Driver has nothing to do with phone not going to fastboot.
If notification LED, the LED next to microUSB, doesn't turn led, then 2 choices:
1) You are doing it wrong - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable to phone.
2) Your phone is SIM-locked and/or branded - Fastboot is disabled. Only way is via paid method.

So i have to unlock bootloader? But if there are roms also for locked bl is because locked bl can also access to fastboot mode. Am i right?
So what must i do? How? Where can i unlock it the cheapest way? Thank u very much for ur answers!

Xperia S - Rooting issues

Hi guys,
Im really struggling to root my wifes SXS...I think Ive tried every solution on here, but just cant seem to do it. Eventually I want to install Trinity Vengence ROM, but I understand I need to root first.
So I have in my hand:
SXS LT26i locked to Three in the UK
Jellybean 4.1.2
Build No 6.B.1.96
I know I need to get doomlords JB_211-prerooted onto the thing, but I need to root then get CWM installed to do this, and this is where its falling down!
FLASHTOOL - phone recognised, but when it come to inserting the USB cable and pressing back button, nothing happens. Occasionally, it will reboot, but i get the message that USB debugging hasnt been enabled (though it was before the phone rebooted!).
DOOMLORD EasyRoot - wont work on my version of jellybean
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31 - no luck here either. Reboots twice and no root applied.
Im an experienced noob, having installed ROMS on our Galaxy S's and my SGS3, so I can follow instructions well enough, but Im baffled with this!
Any help is greatly appreciated! The wife has another 1.5 years of her contract left and this phone is laggy as hell
Cheers!

FLASHTOOL - phone recognised, but when it come to inserting the USB cable and pressing back button, nothing happens. Occasionally, it will reboot, but i get the message that USB debugging hasnt been enabled (though it was before the phone rebooted!).
DOOMLORD EasyRoot - wont work on my version of jellybean
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31 - no luck here either. Reboots twice and no root applied.
Im an experienced noob, having installed ROMS on our Galaxy S's and my SGS3, so I can follow instructions well enough, but Im baffled with this!
Any help is greatly appreciated! The wife has another 1.5 years of her contract left and this phone is laggy as hell
Cheers!

Back button? it means volume UP for Xperia S, also check if drivers are installed, you can find them in the flashtool folder or sony developer site
Developer.sonymobile.com > go to downloads

Yep, drivers installed. By back button i mean the "back" soft key area (bottom left hand side)... This is what it says to do ;is this wrong?
Thanks for the quick reply!

Flashtool shows the back button because when it was made it was for the X10i which had a had back button to enter flash mode. It's the volume buttons on the XS. Down for flash and up for fastboot if I remember rightly
Both from the phone being off and having the usb cable plugged in at the same time as holding em

Understood, thanks!
Do you reckon thats all it is then? Would me pressing the back "button"/not pressing up or down cause the usb debugging error message?

RIGHT! So its down button, soft back button & power button that worked for me to get the green LED on (I think!)
HOWEVER, i get this "Bootloader status : NOT_ROOTABLE" message in flashtool:

That just means that the bootloader is locked. U can't flash custom kernels

Hi Ben,
That means I'm stuck then... I believe I need to flash a certain doomlord kernel first, then install his pre rooted rom before I do anything else.
Is that correct? Surely there is another way... Hopefully there is another way!

If you want to flash a ROM,first thing to do is root the phone and have an unlocked bootloader. I wont tell u here how to do that as there are tons of guides out there. Just use search and you should be fine

This is the problem I'm having, none of the methods seem to work for me.
Doomlords doesn't work on 6.2.1.64 (or whatever)
And I can't flash a kernel that will allow me to root because the bootloader is locked. In these service menu, bootloader unlock says no.
Surely there's a way round this, no?

Firstly flash stock .211 kernel. Root your phone. Than flash .96 kernel. Thats it

I just went through your flashtool log... It shows flashing finished... Follow the next step from doomlord's post...not rootable just means locked bl...nothing else...you need to run the perf_ event script after this... Just follow the steps to get root
And did you follow the step where you have to close flashtool before proceeding??

Flashtool says you have succeed with flashing. Just root your phone with doomlords rooting script. Than flash .96 kernel

Mate, follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154348
You'll have .55 firmware rooted and with CWM, and then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302631
You'll have prerooted JB firmware with CWM. And then you just do what you want.
