Hi there !
Im trying to root my videotron (c6506) xperia zl with flashtool. (locked boot) I have installed the latest sdk, drivers, pc companion etc...
The computer and flashtool have no problem seeing the device. Phone have usb debug on and unknown sources ticked. But whenever im trying to root, it asks to hit restore but there is nothing to restore. If i bypass the process continue until the display option appears. I click on display, then i wait... nothing ever happens. The phone stays on this state.
i tried flashing a stock rom too, but then it ask to unplug device and hold back button etc, (says error peripheral doesnt recognize command) doesnt work either.
Ive tried another method, the script by doom. It says invalid path.
tried both on pc and mac. Same story.
Little help please ?
Also its says that device isnt unlockable or rootable ?? any way around this ?
****EDIT
ok i got the stock rom to flash right. Finally. But there is an icon like 2 blue screen in notification saying : all checkpoint reached. And it wont go .. And no more developper options... ;(

Try Bin4rly's rooting method and you should check out the Xperia ZL forum!
and still cant root... dang

Go over to the ZL forum or try Doomlord rooting kit it works on most Xperia devices... Ps don't have any thing running on the background while rooting
Dont have anything running in background neither on phone or comp. And i tried bin4 n doomlord too. Failed. Sometimes flashtool gives me a line when i connect the phone : non rootable. Sometimes it says it is rootable and lock icon is avail. (but still fails) Wtf... Pretty sure my carrier messed with it to give their users trouble unlocking and rooting. Device also says unlockable boot.
I dont care bout unlocking or not, i just want the root and cwm
I flashed stock 4.2.2 tru flashtool so there must be something i can do... (certainly hope)
I wounder if someone else with same device and carrier have some problems...
Thanks for the feedback guys

Try factory resetting and then use doomlord lastest rooting tool without running flashtool or sus or PC install all your drivers and turn on usb debug and unknown sources... thats the best advice i can offer.. let me know how it goes
Same as i tried but did not try the factory reset.. I will try again tonite.

You cant unlock your bootloader...... Thats the truth of it but to download download your driver install sony update service... P.s you dont need an unlocked bootloader to root with Doomlord rooting kit... The driver is the reason your device is not rooting

Install all the drivers.... It should work
In the sdk ? I think i Did... Looks like its my carrier that blocked it. Looks like phone cant go into fastboot either...
Possible ?
Cuz sdk is up to date, drivers too, installed adb and fastboot drivers. Phone update flashed correctly and factory reset done... Root still doesnt work

What you need the most is the adb drivers for root access fastboot is for kernel changes... Post a pic of what the rooting tool says
Ok Will do. Im gonna talk with my carrier to make sure and will retry later with pics.
here. from flashtool and bin4ry. Doomlord is the same result.
at least i know my device is not hardlocked (in other terms screwed) I entered 7378423 and simlock option. My device is network locked but i have 5 remaining tries to unlock.

hi guys i need help asap been trying to research for three or four hours now and i am completely stuck.
The story is i have an arc s generic uk model which was on .42 firmware. however obviously being rooted and stuff i removed system apps etc and i recently i got the ota notifcation for the newer update which obviously cannot be installed unless the firmware is untouched.
now i backed everything up so thats not a problem. I decided to flash .42 firmware via wotanclient and well my phone was fully charged. after flashing had finished i disconnected the usb switched on my device and i got the yellow exclamation mark with the triangle. I found a thread whereby SEUS solved this problem but for me SEUS is saying installation failed please ensure battery is fully charged.
I tried to flash a generic us .42 firmware and well im having no luck. Ill attach the log to this post. im not sure if this error is because of the lt18a and lt18i differences or if it is something else. I also tried doing a straight flash to .62 firmware via wotan but i keep getting errors and im trying to download the ftf file but im having no luck. i dont care about root anymore as long as i can get my phone running again. help me please ive been trying for hours and im stuck. even if i put my phone on charge im in a boot loop to the exclamation point and back all over agian.
thanks in advance.
willing to donate to anyone that helps me solve my problem.

I've got my phone running however all I did was root my phone and now I can't install the .62 ota update. It keeps failing and I haven't done anything at all apart from root.

Hey,
When you say it's failing, are you still getting the sin error?
Which version are you using?
I was getting the exact issue on my UK (tmobile) Arc, but I managed to get it working after using the top .62 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
If you've unlocked your bootloader, OTA updates won't work.

That happened with me once, I accidentaly flashed an LT15a firmware on my LT15i. Just flashed the right firmware again and it worked tho.
dude try the old flash tool
Hi. I tried last night to flash several .42 firmwares, including R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK and R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Generic Hong Kong Trade, in order to get rooting access. But, after I connected the phone in flash mode and selected the firmware I wanted to flash it, I received an error: Flash canceled ; Device disconnected .
The usb debugging is on, I selected MSC. The program I used is Flashtool; What I'm doing wrong ? Thanks.

Firstly, the current version of flashtool is 0.8.6.0 so grab the update and apply that. Secondly, in the flashtool directory is a subdirectory called drivers (from memory, I use linux and we have native drivers), install these making sure you select the Play driver and flash/fastboot support and try again.

Okay, I updated the flashtool version to 0.8.6.0, I installed the drivers you said, but I receive the same error Flash canceled. My OS is Windows XP Professional. Maybe that could be a problem ?

Thanks a lot mate, I did it. I finally flashed the .42 firmware. Now I'm gonna root the phone. Thanks again.
@nurofenplus Thanks for your help.
I've had this problem, I think I ended up either just doing it again(installing the drivers) or maybe even installing the x10 driver set??? Think I read somewhere long ago they work? Might be wrong...he'll maybe I installed em all! It was a few flashes ago... In any case u should have to select "install anyway" on a few unsigned drivers, And remember, back button whilst plugging in USB for flash(green light) search button whilst plugging in for fastboot(blue light) it will certainly be a driver issue on pc, mtp and debugging are irrelevant in flasmode(I think ), it's not a good idea to use a USB hub or even front panel ports if you suspect they are a bit dodgy(ie, part of a combination card reader etc, it also doesn't hurt to always run flastool ad administrator. Hope this helps.

@xplayed Yeah, I know, I installed & reinstalled the Xperia Play drivers several times, but it didn't work it. The problem was probably with the program version I used, because after I used flashtool v0.6.9.1 it worked like a charm.
Okay, after I flashed and rooted my XPlay, I tried to install a custom rom ([ROM + THEME] [GSM] [2.3.4] Gin2JellyBean [v1.8.1] |Fast|Smooth|Stable|Eye Candy|), but I reached step 6 and I don't know what to do. How do I flash that custom rom on my phone ? May someone point me a tutorial or be kind and explain me what to do ? Regards.
I had this problem and what I did is just flashed my stock kernel in fastboot but it sure is a program error and not our fault.

Well it begins as always.... with a borded guy inside his house on a weekend tinkering with his old phone. So i decided to root my phone since i would be replacing it in 2/3 months any way, and i managed to succesfully zergrush it, and it was unlocked. So being as happy as i was i got greedy and decided to flash it with 4.0.3 beta for xperia play. In retrospect that was not my smartest move yet. So i got clockworkmod and the zip file which was
DooMLoRD-PLAY-GSM-ICS-4.0.3-ROM-LEAKED-v01
I than proceeded to flash it which was also succesfully (using the clockwork recovery menu flash from zip file). BUt than after restarting my phone it just stays at Sony Ericsson and does nothing else (left on for 10 hours) while sleeping last night.
So when i woke up i decided to give it a shot at fixing it and installed FLASHTOOL. I downloaded the stock kernel.R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic. And tried to flash it. Now first of all Flashtool would keep telling me to install the drivers. I somehow managed to finally get them installed at which point it would continue to flash except it would reach a point giving me an error. CASE IN POINT bellow.

AFterwhich nothing happens.
Also tried to reflash it using fastboot boot command which keeps giving me (waiting on device message)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800I
Had: 4.0.2.A.0.42
CLockworkmod 5 i believe
FLashtool 0.9.7.0
So now can anyone help me with getting this phone working again. Assume i don't have USB debugging in which case give me an idea on how to flash it without the usb debugging. Thank you all in advance for the wonderfull gift of knowlidge.
Best Regards.

Indeed
Indeed you are wise to suggest such action. It appears as if that was my problem. However i am able to get 4.0.2 a 0.58 Enchanted on my play but i cannot get the stock 0.42 version to run. Interestingly however the doomlord root works on 58 even though it should only work on 42. And for the life of me i cannot figure out why i can't get the ICS to work on my phone. I am thinking perhaps the kernel is not flashing with it since i keep hanging on boot :S At any rate my phone is useable again but not with ICS

Hello, and thank you in advance for any and all help you can give me here. I am going to attempt to give you all the info I can to the best of my ability.
r800at GSM 12W05 - purchased unbranded / sim unlocked about 1 year ago Locked Bootloader
I almost immediately flashed new firmware and rom Gin2JellyBean -
i dont recall for sure specifics but I am pretty sure it was 2.3.4 version running on the 4.0.2.A.0.42
I had no issues with this install and everything went flawlessly. I do know that in my phone info after this it was recorded as a r800i.
This worked well and I liked it quite a lot until recently most of the new games would lag/ freeze/ crash.
After a great deal of reading I found [Rom][PLAY][PORT][MULTIBOOT] AtoMic GB 7.0 [ The Ultimate Dual Core Experience ]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219154
and thought it may help with some of my issues.
So yesterday I downloaded -
- Flashtool Windows Edition - v0.9.10.1
- CWM Recovery Installer v.5
- Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced
I installed the flashtool, fastboot and xperia play drivers from the install folder of flashtool, and installed the USB Flash Driver(Gordons Gate)
I activated debugging mass storage and followed the tutorial 100%. I am running win7 64 on my pc
Upon launching Flashtool I selected the firmware for flash and proceeded to connect my phone while holding back. Everything seemed to be fine, the flashtool began doing its thing and progressed to 40% completion before freezing up and my phone disconnecting from the pc. Windows reported Unknown Device, driver error.
Now a little info on my recollection of the flashtool info, i wish I had taken a screen shot but at the time I didnt know I would need it. So what I recall from the info was that it had progressed to a system file install of some sort, it had completed about 6-10 files and that I found it interesting that the phone info it reported seemed to show a 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware. That is if I was reading it correctly.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flashtool, drivers, pc companion, I tried older versions of flashtool, but nothing seems to be correcting the unknown device problem. I did multiple restarts/ reboots of both the phone and pc in the process, literally trying everything I could to get it to re connect properly. To no avail.
Now the phone itself, when i try to power it on i get a flashing LED, I am color blind unfortunately But I am 90% sure its a flashing red light.
If I attempt to plug it in my pc installs the SEMC Flash Device driver and I get a green steady charging light. After approximately 30 seconds my phone displays its logo for a few seconds followed by what appears to be a picture of a phone with a triangle warning sign with an exclamation mark in it. That displays for maybe 10 seconds and my pc errors flashing an unknown device - driver issue and the phone led goes back to flashing red.
If there is any other info you need please feel free to ask, ill do my best. And again, thank you so much for the help.
Just figured I would add that I would like to get the bootlader unlocked as well. So if there is any way to incorporate fixing my issue with getting the bootloader unlocked that would be fantastic.
Also I found this from another persons post and made some edits to it so it is as close to what mine said as possible! Besides date time stamp that is.

Ok so I picked up my phone and tried hitting the power button and I got a different result now.
For some reason, after letting it sit untouched for almost 24 hours the power button now causes a small vibration and logo screen very briefly, but then flashes that phone and exclamation sign symbol and goes dark again.
To be honest im rather scared to try and do anything with it without guidance at this point now.
I really dont want to brick this phone permanently. And am too inexperienced to feel comfortable just randomly trying to reflash.
Is this normal for it to just stop showing red led and seemingly sort of fixing itself?
Any thoughts? Ideas? I just need some guidance so I dont brick this thing for good.. I miss my phone!!
I know, there are plenty of topics for this error, but I didn't found a solution.
I tried the following...
- repair option in PC Companion --> error 2003 (even if I could repair the unlocked phone few weeks ago)
- FlashTool (newest version) stops with this error:

I can flash new kernels (Lupus & CM12.1 kernel), but if I want to go back to the .587 ROM, I can't flash them through FlashTool. Any idea? Bricked?
I always connected the phone after the popup which told me to do so. I also installed all the drivers - the phone is recognized in flash & fastboot mode (using Windows 7).
i have the same ****
try to install an older version http://www.mediafire.com/download/2ut97v5aszylr4w/flashtool-0.9.18.1-windows.exe

You got an error because of latest version of flashtool.
Use only flashtool
18.5 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8q4pCAugmPgZWk0ZkFSTHk4a0E/view
or
18.6 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzVQf67OZ9NtSnlHZEtWTnZ1LWc/view
or
8.0 - http://www.mediafire.com/download/ucczmw37815j2gv/flashtool-0.9.8.0-windows.exe
It worked! Note that Avast thinks that these versions of Flashtool are infected with some malware. Avoid that somehow
I can confirm this worked for me too. I was in the same situation.
My buddy in Canada mailed me his 2011 Xperia Arc as he wanted me to gain root on it. I did that, then unlocked the bootloader (this was carrier branded to Rogers). I had to go the long route for the BL unlocking (the whole "install this program, buy these credits, touch terminals under a panel with a paperclip, etc"). Then I installed CWM Recovery, then installed CyanogenMod 10, Android 4.1.2, but it was buggy as hell and was randomly rebooting. So I decided to try some new ROMs, hopefully more stable. BUT all the ones I wanted required I flash build 4.1.B.0.587 first. So I got the FTF build file needed, got Flash Tool 0.9.19.8, but kept getting the exact same error message, "ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." So I tried Sony's Flash Tool, Emma. Then that told me the phone had a locked BL! WTF! I double checked, and that was not true. So then I tried Sony's PC Companion, and their server went down RIGHT after I started getting somewhere... FFUUUUUU!!! So then I found this thread... Got Flash Tool 0.9.18.6, got it all prepped to go (FTF file, drivers, etc), and fired it off... FAILED again. Tried again, this time with phone plugged in from the GET GO and NOT from when Flash Tool tells me to. And guess what, I was able to flash this stock ROM WITHOUT the phone actually being in Flashmode. LOL! What I mean is, when Flash Tool prompted me to hold Back and then plug in the phone, the phone was already plugged in... then BAM, it started working!
Either way, I'm now happy cos I can try out some more stable ROMs.
I hope anyone else in that situation finds this and gets some joy too.
Thanks for all the answers. I ended up installing Legacy Xperia CM 12.1. The only system beside .587 which has an acceptable speed on my Arc S - and up to date!
