Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.

Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

have you checked for rom hashes ?
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081, it is in question section
"Flashtool does not recognize the firmwares, even though I put it into the correct folder?"

you'll need to run HxD as Administrator and then open card with write permissions, then you should be able to paste.

how did the root work for you? I am nervous to do it...need some guidance i guess
If you are honestly nervous about doing it, try using this guide or perhaps this one. Also there is an IRC channel for helping people. Its #G2ROOT i think on some server.. You'll have to search it since I'm sorta busy right now
yeah, i've done a ton of reading but just get so confused with the amount of info, and what works on this doesnt work with this...so much different than flashing my old touch or diamond, even the samsung omnia was easy compared to this. I'll try your guides. thanks.
If you dont understand anything in the guides just PM me. Because I do understand how hard it can be to root for the first time.

help with rooting my sprint galaxy s 2

Okay so, I want to root my phone so I can get custom roms on it and get better battery life and better performance, so my buddy tried multiple times to root my phone using Odin, but for some reason clockwork mod isn't going onto the phone. We have tried with debugging on and off but nothing seems to be working. Can somebody please point me to a guide that deals win this or a thread that does or just tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!
Use the search bar. It might get you somewhere
Wrong place to ask question, but for rooting take a look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Then you probably shouldn't be rooting. This is the developer forum not a question section. That method of rooting is probably the easiest as well.

Get e4gtauto.zip (and unpack it)
Run "RUNFIRST.bat"

For CWM use option C (and follow prompt)

If that is too complicated for you, stick to a stock rom.
thank you to everyone who replied my thread and to erik077 for finding that other thread and posting it in my thread. cuz it worked. i successfully rooted and put a custom ROM on my device. I was getting worried cuz it took too long for the phone to load. but i still have one more question. for some reason i have a yellow triangle with a "!" in it on the screen just before the boot animation. can you tell me how i can get that off? thanks!!

Oh FFS! So sorry that it's too complicated for you. Maybe an iPhone would be more appropriate? This is XDA-Developers, not XDA-Please-Hold-My-Hand-Because-I-Can't-Read-And-Figure-Things-Out-For-Myself. You can't even read the stickies that tell you NOT TO POST QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT.
Moving this to Q&A where it should have been in the first place - then closing this.

Cant flash TWRP

Hey guys I'm kinda new to Android I've had a chappy phone and now an LG g pad after attempting root about a dozen times I finally managed to get it root now I am trying to get TWRP to backup the tablet and change the boot animation later but every time I tried on my pc it would fail so I installed flashify and tried with that I then I got a boot error saying security issues. The tablet stills boots but I believe the problem is the locked boot loader. Thanks for any help offered.

Have you installed root checker or another program to confirm that you do, in fact, have root? Start with that.
If you haven't installed a superuser app to handle permissions, I'd do that as well before trying to install TWRP.
I'll admit I had troubles installing TWRP as well, when looking at the forums, make sure you're downloading the version for your EXACT version of android and firmware, and following the instructions for the right version as well. Good luck!

you don't unzip it, you have to use something like odin v3.09 or whichever you choose to flash it.. for odin you can just google it, i think mods remove the download links here and be careful exactly where you get it..
I think you put the .tar file in the PDA section then click start (all the info i have is home) but you can also google a tutorial, it's actually extremely simple, my memory is shot though lol

You need to rename that file, it should end with md5, just change rar to md5, then bring the file into ODIN, ODIN is up to version 3.10 by the way.....ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
yes thank you! and sorry for the misinformation i missed the .rar portion.. you would use the "AP (PDA)" option in odin for that as well
SageChrono have you downgraded successfully and if you have, have you been able to keep 4.4.4?

Join Telegram group and some can teach you. Try open both new bypass and sp flash tools. After finish bypass, quickly press Download button. If still error, try press Power+Volume Up for 10s, then connect to cable, after finish bypass, quickly release button and press Download.
