[Q] LT28at Help - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I know I sound like a noob, but truthfully I am a noob when it comes to Sony Xperia devices, the last Sony device I mod'd was a PSP-3000 series. I guess it has been a while, in the mean time I have had an HTC Inspire 4g (Desire HD/Ace) which when it came to development was AMAZING, and then I had an SGH-i777 (the AT&T non LTE variant of the SGS2) I now have an LT28at. I have rooted it and installed CWM. When attempting to flash a rom I get an error 7 message, not my first time getting these but I can't work out a way around it on this phone. I hope my efforts weren't a waste, but if they still were please tell me.

AW: [Q] LT28at Help
Look at the ion development forum. In the Paranoid Android thread, there is a fix on first page.

I cannot get my device into fastboot is the issue now, otherwise I would do that fix.

Bricked it
I attempted to install it by wiping system and then installing the rom, I got the same issue and made the mistake of shutting it off rather than restoring it to my backup. Is there anything I can do? I can't get it into recovery and I don't know why, and I get this error message when trying to flash it with flashtool back to stock. ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";

U need an unlocked bootloader. U dont need Root or cwm.
For flashing back to stock, try this "final Verification" in flashtool which u can choose together with the wipes.

You cannot flash ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader. Did you make a backup?

Holy crap man you cant flash that on a locked bootloader! You can try to use a different stock ftf with flash tool, try using an lt28i or lt28h firmware from the stock firmware section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Sony_Xperia_ion

Downloading right now, thanks. I really really hope this works, because if not I'm stuck with my old Inspire. I mean, it isn't a bad phone but LTE is hard to go back from when you usually use 5-8 gigs a month... My data bill alone is usually like $85... It sucks...

No problem... Ya you gotta be carefull because most of the roms in the dev section require an unlocked bootloader, and there is currentlly no way to unlock the ATT varient of the ion (lt28at). There are some like the Miui port that is locked bootloader friendly though. Make sure you read the roms description and follow instructions EXACTLY maybe read some posts in the thread as well to make sure it is okay to flash on locked bootloader. The cool thing is at least you can flash official ftfs of the other varients when they become available when spectre posts em on that wiki page. (us ATT users will get jellybean waaaaay before ATT gets around to it haha)

Yeah, I'll make sure to keep in track with it. I am starting to get used to this, I just wish that I could have a touch based recovery. I got too used to it.

Got myself a bit confused

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

[Q]What to do next?

Hey all sorry for the stupid question but I have a r800at and its unlocked, rooted, and I've got dooms kernel loaded no problem (this phone OCs to 1.9 stable it's nuts lol). When I try to flash zeros ROM but every time I flash it in recovery when it reboots I have no launcher to cell signal and the buttons don't work. I've tried 4 times with no luck. I get the idea that I can boot directly from dooms kernel into recovery but I'm not sure how, I still plug it in to the computer. Anyone have done insight in what the deal is? Thanks for any info anyone has.

It might be that zerojay's rom is not compatable with your device. If i remember correctly he has a R800i and there might be some slight differences between *i* and *at* models in the framework that makes it not work on *at* play's?

Ok cool I was just looking at that actually. When you did flash tool did you get to pick the play as the device because all I get is x10 or the mini. Also another stupid question, how do you get into flash mode on the play? Is it still back button and plug it in? Thanks!

Yeah turn off phone and then back button and usb.
If you're using flashtool 0.2.9.1 (beta) there should only be one flashtool.exe to choose (x10FlashTool.exe). If you plug it in while on you'll get multiple choises of phones to pick from while in flashtool window.

Messed up quite badly...

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.

Alright, first of all, WRONG THREAD. Second, please use proper English. Flashing Sony is not supposed to mean anything. And since you don't know anything about flashing, please keep flashing Sony as you have no idea what you or your friend has done and nobody here would be even able to understand you unless you know exactly what you did. Apologies for the tone but sometimes people like you just need to learn what exactly can happen when you DON'T READ WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

After not recognize any computer.
When you connect to usb LED lights only.
You must first charge the battery 16 hours and after you go? and you could make them flash?
this is happening to my phone too. what he meant by "flashing sony" was the fact that it simply won't turn on. mine was due to this app i downloaded. how do i make things work again? D:

[Q] Ion won't root

Hey guys. Just came over from the Motorola Atrix HD and loving my Ion dearly but its time to root. So I followed the instructions in the sticky page using windows PC and it didn't work. I even followed the video tutorial word for word and nothing happened. (Talking about the back up and restore root). However I just want to know if anyone has tried it on the recent firmware update because I had updated the phone before rooting. Here is my About Phone:View attachment 2167699
Can anyone tell me what's going on? I've rooted many phone before this so I know how to follow directions but every phone is different right?
Has anyone tried to root on this firmware?
For those who cannot see the attachment:
Android Version: ICS

You know what, I haven't even thought of that. I'll give that a try if I can do so in an Ubuntu machine. If not I'll have to wait until I get my hands on a windows one. But I'll def give that a try.

@derrickdroid in order for me to flash the pre-rooted firmware I would either need CWM which needs root to be installed or the flashtool which is a bit tricky to get onto Ubuntu. I already have adb set up on my laptop but the steps in order to get flashtool working on Ubuntu is being a pain in the neck. Ill give it a go tomorrow night.
