LT26i - I CANT INSTALL ANY FIRMWARE O RESTORE THE PHONE - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

hello
i have been in this forum for a while now and its awesome to learn how ours phone work.
thks for the help
right now i have a problem, i got a lt26i (my boss phone), he gave me the phone a few days ago, saying that the phone was inoperable due it always appear "recommender app is not working".
i took the phone, made a backup and then try to "restore the phone" to default, the process went fine, the phone rebooted and when finished the restart process, the phone was exactly in the same way it was a few minutes ago.
that surprised me, but, i continue with the next step, USE FLASHTOOL.:fingers-crossed:
i was confident with this step, i did select the firmware LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf, and everything went fine, and again when the phone restared, nothing, in the same spot.
after that, i thought that maybe if i install a custom kernel and rom, maybe i could have access to the phone again, but no, due i cant take root access or install any recovery program.
i dont know what else can use or do.
thks in advance for your response
AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
regards

Its bootloader, is it unlocked?

Dude,
You could also try Sony update service to push original stock firmware to the device.
But this will wipe all data and will only work if you have not unlocked the bootloader

well, the bootloader is unlocked, so i guess im $%"#ed! any other ideas?

[Q] Stuck at Sony Ericsson splash screen?

I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?
Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?
I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!
Feel free to ask
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?
I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?
Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.

[Q] LT26I stuck in boot loop

HI all
Sorry if this have been covered else where, i am stuck, or rather my phone is.
I performed a hard reset the other day, and it has been stuck in a boot loop sequence since.
I have performed the hard reset again ( a number of times) again to no avail.
The screen shows the Sony Logo then the Xperia animated logo, then goes back to the Sony logo.
I have attempted to flash the phone, but as it is in the wrong mode i believe i don't get the result i need. I am not to fussed about the data on the phone, but i wouldn't mind fixing it.
please see screen grab from the attempt i made with the flasher. My apologies if i am in the wrong place, done the wrong thing, poor syntax
i am a noob with a dead phone.
Any help or pointers to the correct link would be most appreciated

To get into flashmode, press VOLUME DOWN when connected to computer.
Hope this helps
Mate,
If you haven't unlocked the boot loader you can try downloading Sony update service and reflashing the stock firmware.
This method will wipe all data on the phone but you will then be able to use it.

This is slightly comical, but I believe he wanted to delete the old bootloader and then flash a new one. Don't think this can be fixed without a box. ODIN maybe?
Yeap bro,bcoz I can't install firmware normal way.So I flashed all partition from fastboot.Main process was to repair imei null.

Ok, but only if the device respond to command ( using USB cable ) , because I think there will be also driver issue ! If your PC cannot recognize the device, than the device is dead !
Right,my mistake was reboot command.That should be after reflashed bootloader.

Yes, you are right , but is too late !
You should make an backup before, and flash backup bootloader before : fastboot reboot !
If you still have warranty , maybe they can change it ( not sure for free .. )

Dude....i want to erase my bootloader from my Huawei Ascend P6. I want to change them with another phone using his warranty. I want to brick it. The easiest way to do that is to erase the bootloader. So how did you do that? What fastboot drivers do you used? I`m using Windows 8.1 x64. Thanks and good luck with your phone.
You're not the only one that made this mistake. Tonight I erased my bootloader on P2 and accidently tried to reboot him in recovery. And now, no led, can't turn on, nothing. When I connect it to PC it detects unknown device with some chinese words, like ㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸. Well, I guess my phone died.

Can't unlock boot loader or flash stock

Hi there,
Has anyone got a way out of this.....
I have a rooted C1905 that I have been playing around with. I want to try CM11 but boot loader unlock fails with a "FAILED (unknown status code)" report after I send my unlock code. I then thought I'd flash back to stock using S.U.S. but that fails too saying that I have a customized rom... which I don't!!! I seem to be stuck! is there anyway to force a stock flash?
Cheers
Have you checked if your bootloader can be unlocked? Go to the dialer, type *#*#7378423#*#* then go to Service info => Configuration. In rooting status, it should say "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes", otherwise it won't work. About your flashing problem, try connecting the phone directly in flash mode before opening SUS, by turning off your phone, holding Volume Down and plugging USB cable or by flashing a FTF file through Flash Tool...
It happened to me also ,check your IMEI CODE,you need to send first 14 digits of your IMEI,

Flashed an FTF of the latest but still can't unlock the bootloader. still get "unknown Error" and it wipes my apps.
Also can't use "repair my phone" on PCC as it says I have a Customised Rom, could this be due to me trying tools like flashgordon and debloat/deoxing flashing or routing? if so how can I get back to a stock state for a UK XM so I can start again?

Nope, but try this anyway.
1. Disconnect your phone and turn it off but keep the cable attached
2. Open PCC and go to Update
3. When it says no device found click the blue repair link
4. Choose Xperia M when asked to
5. Follow the instructions
I have a locked bootloader and modified ROM and it works flawlessly. Keep us updated
