I had xperia arc with firmware version 4.0.2.A.0.42 I flush it with wotanclient with 4.0.A.2.368 version so that I can install the honeycomb theme which didn't work for me in the previous version all worked good
I installed honeycomb theme in the recovery mode and result Good
I did I system update from the update menu to 4.0.2.A.0.42 version to see if this will work with honeycomb theme, but unfortunately my xperia no longer power on and I can't get access to fastboot mode

Yes Your Phone Will Work Again
Dont Worry The Same Thing Happened To Me With My Pro And There Is A Way To Fix It I Will Find It And Be Back In 3 Minutes With An Answer
Ok I Am Back And Found Some Instructions I Have a Way To Do It But These Seem Simpler Than Mine.
Hi all,
So you have unlocked the bootloader of your Xperia Pro MK16a/i and rooted it too.. You got a notification for a newer software to be available and you downloaded an over the air update, installed it, the phone says that it needs a reboot and to your surprise the phone doesn't turn on.
The symptoms for this problem are:
1. The phone vibrates for half a second when you press the power button and does that in a never ending loop
2. The green led keeps blinking when you press the power button.
This is not some method that i had developed but i just found a thread in a Japanese website and after struggling with the google/microsoft translation, i thought it would be better to help all the other users and not face all the struggles that i went through.
How to bring your phone back to life without the help of a Sony Ericsson service center? Keep reading.
Things that you need to have/check before beginning the process.
1. An Xperia Pro MK16a/i with the symptoms mentioned above
2. A USB cable
3. Flashtool
4. SEUS Software (which has been used for at least once for your phone)
5. Patience
First off, just rush to the SEUS installation folder in your PC to this path
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
Look for a file named FILE_278020564 in that folder.
If yes, continue reading.
If no, i'm not sure if the files from other users work. Experts need to help regarding this matter.
Copy the file FILE_278020564 to any location that you wish
Download the software ConvertTool and copy and place the file FILE_278020564 into the ConvertTool folder and then drag and drop the file onto the file SeusDecrypt.bat
A .tgz archive of the FILE_278020564 will be made in the same folder. Now extract the .tgz archive created (Use 7zip archiver to extract the file)
A .tar file will be created now. Now rename that file as loader.sin
Now Extract the file Xperia Pro Relock bootloader.zip to another location and copy and replace the loader.sin file in the folder with the loader.sin that you just renamed.
Now its time to repackage the file so that it can be flashed onto your phone.
Download and install Flashtool software (you can easily find it, just Google it) and in the software go to Advanced>Bundle creation
Now select the folder Xperia Pro Relock bootloader, you'll be able to view the two files (loader.sin and preset.ta) in the folder list of Flashtool software.
Select each file and then click on the -> to move the files into Firmware Content, type in the details in the tabs above.
Device: MK16a (or) i [whichever phone yours is]
Version: 4.0
Branding: A.2.335 [Don't ask me why we need to type in these details because i do not know, experts can help if its not mandatory]
Click on Ok in the flashtool software and a .ftf file would now be created in the path shown below
C:\Flashtool\firmwares
Example: MK16a_4.0_A.2.335.ftf
Now Open the Flashtool software once again and click on the Flash icon and enter into Flashmode and the software lists out the firmwares in the firmwares folder of its installation. Select the file MK16a_4.0_A.2.335.ftf and then leave everything as default and press OK.
Do as the software asks you to do.
1. Unplug the device
2. Power off the device
3. Press the back button and hold it
4. Plug the USB cable.
The software shall recognize the phone and flash the relocked bootloader into the phone file system. The phone would not work now.
For the phone to work, you need to update your phone normally using SEUS and it would let you do an update without any The phone software has been modified and cannot be updated error. (I would prefer a Factory settings+Update mode of update)
Note: In case the flashtool doesn't detect your phone, you need to install PC companion software in your PC. Hopefully it installs the USB drivers necessary to detect your phone.
After the update is done, restart the phone and it should normally boot like it was in the box when you bought. Happy Ending..
This method is not mine and all credits goes to Mydroidn.

Yes you do not need to switch phone off or be in flash mode.Just tick in phone settings via pull down status bar Unknown sources and usb debugging and follow instructions above when finished reboot phone you should have a home screen

Karbonn A2 root

Warning:I am not responisible for any damage to your phone and rooting usually nullifies the warranty. so please procede with your own risk
I tried to root my karbonn A2 for 2 weeks and finally i got it. so im gonna share the steps involved in rooting and also provoide the tools for it.
NOTE: I do not take credit for any tool since all the tools were already available online, so credit goes to whoever programmed them. only thing i did was to alter the method slightly to get my phone rooted.
Lets begin. Before we start rooting our phone, most important thing is the drivers. so u need two types of drivers one is ADB (android debugging bridge) drivers and the other is preloader drivers. i have attached both of these drivers in the attachments u can download it.
Step1[only for beginners]: Go to setting>applications>development>enable USB debugging in the phone, then connect your phone to ur pc (remove all previous drivers if u have installed) then go to device manager>devices, right click on the usb device and click update driver and browse to folder containing the SPdrvers (u need to extract the folder from the attachment first).If driver is successfully installed then u should see "android phone" in ur device manager. to confirm it just run adb devices from the command line by chagning the directory to where adb.exe is, u should see the list of devices attached to ur pc. (usually adb.exe will be in android sdk tools folder or if u dont have one then check in ADB folder from superoneclick in the attachment).
Step2: ok, now that u have installed adb drivers, u need to install preloader driver (also known as downloading mode in some devices). to do this, disconnect ur phone from the pc, then switch off the phone, remove the battery and then connect ur phone to pc again (without the battery). then u should see windows trying to install drivers and fails. then go to device manager again and browse to folder containing USB VCOM drivers (see attachment). after it successfully installs procede to step 3.
Step3:: download, extract the files MTKROM and SPflash tool to ur pc. then put the battery inside ur phone then switch it on, connect it to pc (enable debugging all the time). then open command line then go to adb folder then type :adb devices- u should see the list of device attached (u will get some long numbers so dont worry). then type "adb shell" (without the quotes). u will get a $ sign, then type "cat proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info" if its successful then a file named firmware.info will be created in ur sdcard root. then copy that file to ur pc.
Step 4: Now open that firmware.info in MTKROM.exe u should see a list tables and address like in the image below. then click save scatter and rename the filename to MT6575 instead of MT6573 (and leave everthing else as it is). so a file named "MT6575_Android_scatter.txt" will be created.
Step 5: Now open Spflash tool and load the scatter file in that. u should see something like this in the image below.
STEPS TO BACKUP ORIGINAL BOOT AND RECOVERY
Step 6: Before we actually begin to root its important to make a backup of current images. so to do that, go to READ BACK tab in sp flash tool. click on Add>double click on the page file and save as "Boot.img" somewhere safe. then click on "Read Page only", this is very important. then look at the address side by side from MTKROM and enter into sptool. the start address is the address in which the boot.img begins and length is the length of boot.img. so final address will be startaddress+length =start address of next image (recovery.img). In MTKROM the start address is given as "PART ADDRESS". after entering those carefully click ok. if u want to be sure then use programmer calculator and add the address.
Note :the address will be in hexadecimal format not decimal.
Step7: In order to read the firmware from the phone, disconnect the phone from your pc, remove the battery, dont connect it yet. now click on "Read back" button in the sptool (its after Add,remove button). now the software starts searching for the device. now connect the device to the pc (without battery ofcourse). now if have installed USB VCOM drivers correctly then the sp tool should detect ur device and start reading from it. u will see Red colour in the
task bar when it detects then blue colour while the tool is reading the phone. wait untill the reading is complete. A green circle will pop up after it successfully reads from the device. (refer the images below)
Step 8: repeat step seven as described above for recovery.img (save the file as recovery.img) then select "read page only" option, enter start address as 0x0980000 and length as 0x0500000. (please enter the address carefully cross check with MTKROM image addresses.)
Note: You have to disconnect the device first then click read back button after entering the addresses then connect the device, otherwise the sptool wont detect your device!.
Actual Rooting Procedure
Step 9: Now that you have backed up both boot and recovery images its time to start the actual rooting. download the boot.img file from the attachment and save to your pc (dont replace it with your backup image that you saved earlier). go to download tab in the sp tool and tick only boot.img and uncheck all others (if any of them has been checked already) and click on Bootimg and browse for the folder where u downloaded boot.img from the attachment and NOT THE BACKUP! after that disconnect your device, then click download button above( after format->upgrade button) or f9 from keyboard. the tool will start searching the usb com ports. now connect your device and wait till it downloads fully. Note: In downloading your will get RED colour first, then YELLOW colour while flashing, and finally a GREEN circle after flashing is complete).
Step 10: The most important and complicates steps are over. now all you have to do is put your battery to your phone and switch it on. now after it sucessfully boots up, open superonclick.exe (you will get this software online and its very popular tool for rooting) and connect the device to your pc (enable debugging of course), then click Root button in superoneclick and Voila! your phone is rooted. enjoy and dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped
Note: u will need .NET framework 3.5 to run superoneclick.
Method To Unroot
For unrooting your mobile all you have to do is flash the original, backup boot image back to your phone. just open sptool and load the scatter file, then click on bootimg then browse to wherever u have stored backup boot.img then click download button then connect your device without the battery and thats it. you will get back original firmware without the root!.
Clockwork mod recovery for A2
There is no official cwm recovery for A2, but i ported cwm for other MT65xx devices to A2. so here are the steps to flash.
step 1: download recovery.img from the attachment.
step 2: open sp flash tool and load scatter.txt (for detailed description refer rooting steps). then tick recoveryimg and browse and set the path of the recovery.img you just downloaded from attachment.
step3: click on download button at the top or press f9. then take out the battery from the phone and connect it to the pc. the tool will detect your phone and start flashing cwm recovery.wait untill the green circle pops up.
step 4: now put in the battery and press power button+volume up and hold it for few seconds and voila!! cwm recovery boots up. And to revert back to original recovery just flash the recovery.img that you backed up during rooting process using the above steps.
Note: Do Not factory reset your phone without backing up the IMEI number. After rooting your device please backup your phones IMEI number which is stored in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 to a safe place. or there is an application called mobileuncletools (a chinese app) which helps to backup your IMEI to sdcard and restore it back. if u loose your IMEI and reset your phone then you cannot call or recieve sms etc
No service and invalid IMEI solution
explanation:
In case u did factory reset of the phone, then all your data will be wiped including the imei number. it will be reverted to factory imei number, hence you cannot connect to any mobile networks in india or anywhere else because most network operators wont allow to use the network with dupicate or invalid imei numbers. every device has a specific imei number. in this device your original imei numbers (15 digits) will be on the back of your battery.
Restoring is tough very simple procedure, creating the required files is a major headache. At first i thought it was impossible to restore the imei back (trust me i tried all the available solutions that u get in the internet, infact there are 5 different types of solutions, none of which worked for this device). luckily one day i found a chinese software which actually did create a imei file that is compatible with this device (phew !, yeah i know) and so i did successully restored my imei back and i can once again connect to mobile network and make calls..:victory: so here it goes.
How to restore IMEI number? (MUST BE A ROOTED PHONE)
1) if u have made the backup of MP0B_001 file in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 , then install root explorer and simply replace your current file with the backed up MP0B_001 and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.
2) if u havent backed it up (too bad), then download the chinese software sn_gen.zip from the attachments and enter both imei numbers that is found in the back of your battery (enter the numbers correctly and cross check it again, its 15 digit number). then the software generates a new MP0B_001 file, copy and paste in the above mentioned directory and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.:fingers-crossed:
dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped you :good:

its not possible to put ICS in A2 (since its officially not supported to our device), although cyanogenmod 9 can be installed but its very difficult to build it since most of the drivers are properitery and they wont release the sources. so its almost impossible to run cm9 and even if someone did build cm9 it wont run smoothly because of very low amount ram in our device (<256MB and ICS needs more than that to work smoothly). however im working to build cm7 (based on gingerbread) for our device and even that is really difficult since there is no device tree in github for this device. so i need build cm7 from scratch and that is not an easy job. so if any developers are working on building cm7 for A2 please pm me so that we can work together..

if we create any partion sd memory for our internal memory can it run cm10 b'cuz galaxy ace can run cm10 it has just 256MB ram and some wat 800MHZ speed only but our device has 256MD ram with 1GHZ processor speed so i think it can also run cm10 if we create a partition memory from ous sd card thats wat i think so........
waiting for reply from ur side thanks in advance.......

lol i was a galaxy ace user untill last dec. (its touch digitizer got broke, so i temporarily bought karbonn). anyway i do know ace can run cm10 and pretty much any device can, even ours can run it. i did not say our device doesnt run at all. i said it wont run smoothly and developing cm other than stock os version is very very difficult since our device is a local device and threre is no lot of support for it. so if anything goes wrong we may permanently brick our devices and may not find solution at all.
on the other hand, since i was a former ace user, i know that even though ace can run cm9 and cm10 there were a lot of problem in getting camera, video recording, and other applications because of unavialablity of their sources. so furthermore most of extra features that arent available in gingerbread cannot be used ex: face recognition, google now,otg usb etc( they are built for high end devices). u wont notice the difference in optimizations and performance of jelly bean in low end devices because they need sufficient hardware to utilize the os to full extent. so only thing u get out of installing cm is user interface (which u can change using of launchers, oh yes there are big bunches of launchers out there) and some features of cm (deodexd rom,custom kernel with overclocking features and some tweaks.)
coming back to our device, ive been trying to build cm7 for our device and its really difficult without a device tree and some good prior experience in building cm for atleast 2 devices. so my advice is that first we will build a fully working cm7 for our device and later if possible we will port cm10.

what do u mean by reset? did u do factory reset from recovery or did u clear flash from by holding power+down? (oh btw recovery is power+up in our device).
either way ur imei number has been erased and it will be reset to factory number . i spent 1 week day and night searching for a solution and that is exactly why i told u to backup your MB0P_001 file.
in order to repair it u need to root ur phone. follow above steps and paste ur imei number (dial *#06#).

ru sure u replaced boot.img which was attached in attachments to your phone? if it was successful then u have unlocked the bootloader. the problem here seems to be like superonclick isnt detecting ur phone when connected to pc. In case if the usb debugging is turned off enable it and check if ur device is listed in adb devices command as explained above. if it does and still rooting doesnt work, then maybe you are using wrong version of superoneclick. because some of the loopholes which is used to root your phone (by gaining temporary access to shell) is not available in older versions. the version must be compatible with gingerbread. try downloading superonclick 2.3.3 version.

also, after u root with superonclick, restart it and please check if u have superuser app in ur phone(it will be automatically installed by superoneclick, dont install it manually since the app should be in /system/app and su command should be in /system/bin directory, which u cannot do by installing it manually). if its installed then u have root access, if u still want to confirm just download root checker app from google play and run it.

CM10 means Jelly Bean Which has minimum Requirement of 512MB ram... device cant even Support Cm9(ics)...And generally cynogenmods are not developed for local Indian Brands.....Instead Try this making your phone look like XPERIA:

you're good

The answer is yes
I'm from Taiwan.
The answer is "yes".
I have updated my ZL(C6502) to 307.
But there wasn't 253 upgrade before 307.
so the latest version change is just 434→307 from getting my ZL.

Probably because they skip the 253 so 307 is 253

Finally we got someone who had the update, can you please help us to share the ftf file?
Below are the steps;
Stage 1 = Installation
Stage 2 = Getting files to create an FTF
Stage 3 = Creating FTF
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID DATA LOSS
Tools required:
1. Flashtool . Latest version can be found here
2. Sony Update Service Direct link to download is here
3. JRE may be required if Sony Update Service doesn't install it for you, can be found here
4. LOCKED BOOTLOADER is required otherwise sony update service will reject your phone.
Currently there is no way to relock bootloader, if you are unlocked you will need to wait till we have a relock procedure
Stage 1 - Installation
Step 1. Install Flashtool using the installer file downloaded above, this should normally install in C:\Flashtool
Step 2. Install Sony Update Service, IT is better if you install it to the directory C:\Sony Update Service\
when it asks you where to install, This will make things easier and quicker when creating the FTF. and this is what i will refer to in this guide
*Step 3. Install JRE ONLY if Sony Update Service fails to install it or it does not run.
Stage 2 - Getting files to create an FTF
Step 1. Load up Sony Update Service, will ask you to accept license whenever you run it with some tips before you start, CLICK START
Step 2. Next it will ask you to connect your phone, Switch off your phone, Keep hold of volume down and plug your usb into the phone. Your phone LED will briefly flash Red then Green
Step 3. SUS will tell you, you are already up to date, Tick the box and Click install
Step 4. SUS will ask you to confirm data removal, and inform you all DATA will be lost, CLICK YES
NOTE: You will not lose your data if you click yes and then follow the rest of the instructions,
Step 5. SUS will start to download the official firmware for your device, it will not install anything to your device till it has finished downloading all the firmware,
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP AN EYE ON IT AS SOON AS IT HITS 100%, PULL YOUR USB OUT OF YOUR PC ASAP, RAPID, QUICK, FAST WHATEVER OTHERWISE YOU WILL END UP FLASHING FACTORY FIRMWARE AND LOSE DATA
If you pull it out before 100% the download will stop and you will have to follow steps 1 to 5 again, it will resume from where it left off.
At this point i pulled my USB OUT STRAIGHT AWAY ! BEFORE IT TRIED FLASHING MY PHONE
Your Download will be saved in your C Drive > Sony Update Service > DB > some numbers (mine was 13740270) > blob_fs
But at this point it is not in FTF and will need decrypting
Stage 3 - CREATING YOUR FTF
Step 1. Load up flash tool. Once it has opened, click Tools on the menu bar at the top THEN SUES/DECRYPT
Step 2. Click Browse and select your blob_fs folder we discussed above C: > Sony Update Service > DB> ####some number#### > blob_fs
This will show you 4 files, not sure if some might show more or less, but generally 4 on the left in Available files
Step 3. Click on each file then the arrow to send it to files to convert then click convert, Note if it is not doing anything be patient, Decrypting can take several minutes and it will not update you until each file is fully decrypted.
Step 4. Once it has decrypted, it will automatically bring up the Bundler. Give your FTF a name, Version and Branding, see how i named mine.
Move across everything EXCEPT LOADER.SIN from the folder list on the left to the firmware content on the right using the arrows.
If you include loader.sin then you get an error when flashing with flashtool and flashing aborts! this is why i have requested you do not move/include it
Step 5. Click create, a little box will pop up with devices, just double click on C660X SONY Xperia Z or press ENTER
Step 6. Flash tool will then create your FTF, It will automatically save it in C:\Flashtool\Firmwares and also whenever you load flashtool and flash in flashmode it will show you the one you created.

Below are the steps;
1) Download the sony update service (SUS) from: http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SUS. [You'll need this step to get the temporary files required to create the ftf]
3) Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
********[ Replace 'Program Files (x86)' with 'Program Files' in case of a 32 bit computer]********
4) create a folder "Source_files" in C:\
5) You'll find 3 larger files with filenames like "file_#########".One large file (~400MB) and 2 smaller files (~14MB and ~64KB) .Copy those 3
files to "C:\Source_files"
********[Ignore the files with filename like "ICON_#####...."]********
6) Download and install the latest flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files
7)Select source folder : "C:\Source_files"
8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 3 files to "Files to convert"
9) Click OK
10) Wait till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move all files to Firmware content.
12) If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check
13) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia U (ST25i)], on Version write the firmware version (Ex. 6.1.1.B.1.10) , on Branding write the local
(Ex.Indian or Italian etc.)
14) Click OK
16) Wait till the process finishes...
********[You'll get "Finished bundle creation" message on the log]********
17) When it finishes the .ftf file can be found on "C:\Flashtool\firmwares"
********************* FOR THOSE WHO HAVE USED PCC (PC COMPANION) TO UPDATE THEIR PHONE********************************
For PCC you need to go to
C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs IN STEP 3 And then follow the rest of the guide from STEP 4

Deeply appreciate your detailed guidance. :good:
But i'm just a primer android user.
Not much understanding about above procedures.
(Actually don't want to lose the warranty so soon and afraid of my only cellphone die in my hand)
So i will search for someone more professional (in our local forum) to do these things.
Still a possibility that no one wants to help......i'll try
