hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!

Try repair feature in PC Companion but it may update ur phone to the latest build .253 rom (u may lost ur root). Maybe u can flash ftf file exclude kernel to maintain ur root.

I think OTA will not work when custom recovery is installed cause the update needs to reboot to stock recovery, which is overwritten by cwm.

Hi every one ,,
I have an xperia arc rooted ,,, 4.0.2.A.0.42 , OTA update is available for me , but it seems that I can't update because I have deleted some apps which come with the phone ,, I am not sure this is the reason , it gives me a message "can't update" or something like that when the phone restarts .
is there any way to put the systems files again?! I don't want to re flash the phone and rooted again ,, or can I do that without loosing my apps and ,,, etc?
my thanks
Just put the stuff you deleted back and update.

is there a list for the important ones?! because I don't remember what I have deleted .
or any hints where to find them?
thanks for your respond any way .
You can only update if connected to a wifi network....
if you have had phone unlocked using test point or unlocked bootloader you get a bricked phone with over the air update.
It happened to Me after testpoint unlock.....so Dont use ota if unlocked
Sent from somewhere.......
OTA means only through the WIFI/3G right? He can update his firmware using SEUS or PC companion, right?
Not with unlocked bl

unfortunately you will have to flash your .42 again then do the OTA update. if you un check wipe user data in flashtool it will not erase your apps but it will reset your theme to the stock theme.
Some people have tried to put back the system apps but i don't think they have been successful.

I had to try a couple of times after flashing .42 to get the OTA to work this one is a bit picky about everything being perfect
it still not working ,,
when I flashed to .42 nothing has changed! my wallpaper my apps , not any thing , I have just lost my root access . does that mean ,,,, well I don't know
any suggestions ?
note:
I didn't see any option for whipping the user data
is there any way to make the phone as if it is brand new?!
I mean there is something wrong , I feel nothing is happening when I flash , even the wallpaper is there which is not the thing that this man said (SL_Don)!
Just relock the bootloaader and you'll be fine!!

I didn't say its unlocked! ,, I have never unlocked my bootloader before
I would recommend custom roms... Works better and has more updates...
The new version you updated to cant be rooted through easy rooting toolkit. So dont know how you should get it back

Hi guys,
I am trying to update a stock standard GB 2.3.6 LT15i for my boss.
I have tried doing it via PC Companion, but it seems to get stuck in an update loop. It says that an update is available, and starts to download files - but then goes back to the beginning of the process after about 20 minutes.
I have tried this on 2 different PC's, both Win 7 x64.
I would like to try update the phone using FlashTool now, but I am used to Samsung phones, so I am not sure of the steps.
I just wanna confirm if it is ok to flash this file via FlashTools -
LT15i- Generic GLobal World 4.1.0.B.587 (16/8/2012)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836071
I do not plan on rooting the phone, but I also want to know if this is gonna clean wipe the phone? I will do a backup in PC Companion.
Anything I might need to know? Do I need to worry about bootloaders?
Thanks in advance.
It's okay to flash that file with Flashtools. It's really easy and there is a very small chance to do anything to your phone. Even if you brick it it will be only a soft brick (0.0001% chance to soft-brick it) And yes, it will wipe the phone
You dont have to worry about bootloaders, as long as you flash stock sony roms there wont be any problems
Thanks malimukk, I'll give it a try this morning.
Remember to check the no final verification box or you will get an error message,the phone will be ok and will be updated.

It don't cause any probs with install but with flashtools it shows error. It may be fixed now with latest version, but when ics first came out there was prob with final verification.

Okay, maybe I can help you
Firstly, touchscreen won't work in CWM. You must use the volume up and down buttons to navigate. To click okay, press the power/camera button. Now, if you have a rom.zip on your internal storage then select install zip from internal storage and select the zip in it's respective location. Then press the power/camera button. You will get a confirmation page. Choose yes and let the flashing begin. Once the flashing is done, go back to the main menu and press reboot system now. Hope that you understand.
yeah thanks all i fixed it all last night with a lot of sweat and tears
there where 2 problems. i forgot to instal a rom on the internal storage. and when cwm9 was installed without the rom on the sd i wasn't able to get the phone conected to my pc to transfer the rom.zip. and it looked like cwm9 was running and could not turn the phone off. But after i managed to flash the stock firmware and then transfered the rom.zip and rooted my phone and installed cwm. the rom instal part was easy !
many thanks for the help also was it a bit to late but it was my own fault i dindt need to do that so late in the evening
Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.
My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:
How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?
How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?
The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.
Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.

Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?

Look for the development section. You can find cwm recovery easily.

hello ,
today i unlocked my bootloader got cwm and flashed CM11 but after this al was done i had 2 major problems. I have a xperia M c1905
1. when i first booted he didnt ask for my PIN to unlock my SIM and i had no service and i cant call or sent any sms , so i start searching for apps that could cause it but i could'nt find anything so i looked in setting and then i found that my imei is unknown and my baseband also
2. when my phone gets in stand-by i cant unlock my screen unless i pull my battery
EDIT: i think ive solved the 2nd problem i changed the way to unlock
is there anything i can do?
greets
Try flashing the stock firmware again and see if everything works again. If it does, flash cm again and see if there r any changes. If flashing stock firmware doesn't helo, then you probably messed up somewhere really bad in unlocking or flashing. In that case, i think itsvpermanent. Im not an expert at all in this matter but i wanted to help a brother out. Good luck

To get the firmware here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7wdGoA4WPZAY01EMG0xX1RSWmM/preview?pli=1
To install it on your phone this is what you need to do:
Download the required ftf, for u, its the 4.1.2 ftf. Place it in the firmware folder in the flashtool folders. Open flashtool. Click the lighting icon. Flashmode. Click on the firmware u want to flash. Press flash. Wait a while, while it prepares files. When it asks you to, turn off ur phone, press and hold the vol. Down button and insert the usb which is attached to the computer at the other end. Let it flash. When done, remove usb. Reboot phone.
Hope this helped:beer::screwy::beer::screwy:

well i try it as soon as possible
but i readed on other forums that changing imei in *#*#3364663#*#* will work too but it wont open anymore...
or that my fts files are corrupted or something like that , can you confirm that?
you need to flash 4.3 not 4.1.2
for the latest cm 11 update (beta 4).you need to have the 4.3 update for baseband.
source : i installed cm11 beta 4 from 4.3 with no bugs
