[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

[Q] Bootloader unlock allowed changed to No, after flashing Stock ICS.

Yesterday I tried to flash a JB room into my xperia arc S. The installation had no problems, but after restarting, the phone didn't pass from the sony logo.
So, with the flashtool I flash the stock ICS again. And the phone is working again, but, now I can not flash any other room because the bootloader is lock.
Now, the phone says: "bootloader unlock allowed: no", and before, it had: "bootloader unlock: yes".
Before, I even had clockworkmod installed and I could flash anything with it, but now... Now, my phone does have the notification drawer anymore.
Does anyone knows how can I fix this?
Thanks for any help.

What ftf file did you flash? Did you exclude simlock.ta from the files?

I flashed( using clockworkmod ) this one first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380652, and the phone got stuck at the Sony Logo.
Then, using Flashtool, flashed this: "Lt18i_4.1.B.0.587_1254-8596_Generic_India.ftf" , then I even tried this: "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf"
simlock.ta? No.
The problem now is that I can not go into clockworkmod anymore. I even had made a backup with clockworkmod , but now I can't restore it anymore.

Of course you cannot go into clockworkmod, flashing the ftf file will remove it from your phone. You need to flash a stock kernel with CWM or install X-Parts

Yes, but if the phone's bootloader is bloqued again, why install X-Parts to have clockworkmod , if I can not flash another rom?

You can still flash a ROM with X-Parts, just that it will be stock based, definitely not CM/AOKP/PAC.

[Q] Xperia play Gingerbread to Jellybean/Kitkat

Hi can anyone advise what the problem could be?
I have been trying to upgrade my Xperia play from Gingerbread to Jellybean and failed,
My handset is Bootloader unlock Status = No, although O2 unlocked the carrier so I could use any carrier.
So when I goto Sony bootloader unlock site the phone will not goto fastboot mode. Just says Waiting
When I open Fashtool I have successfully rooted the phone, but when I try to Flash the phone rather than go into Fastboot mode the just restarts.
I am using Windows 7 64bit.
Any help on getting this done is greatly appreciated

Umm I think only the simlock has been removed. But the bootloader is still locked and cannot be unlocked. and what button are you pressing to go into flashboot?

I have used search button whilst plugining in USB.
Does that mean bootloader is locked, so impossible to unlock?
The sticker on the back of the phone is W46. Read somewhere that using Flashtool may damage the phone.
Thanks in advance

SIM Unlocking the phone inst the same as Unlocking the Bootloader. If you Have Bootloader unlock Status = No you can still unlock your Bootloader via the Test Point method.
If you Unlock your phone with the Test Point method you will not have acces to Fastboot Mode, but you can still Flash Kernels via Flash Mode Using the FTF version of it(insted of a boot.img file).
Look in my signature if you want any FTF kernel.

Just read the instructions for whatever kernel you are using, and same with the rom you want to install.

As above, follow the guide above. Since you unlocked via the testpoint and there's no fastboot, you need to have your kernels in a .ftf file format.
Here's a thread with download links to ftf kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739559
You will need to use flashtool to flash them. The JB ROM can then be flashed via recovery normally.
My Xperia PLAY was locked to O2 as well and testpoint unlocked, and these have been working fine for me so far... although for some reason my phone stopped working with ICS ROMs. GB and JB still works however.

Phone bricked.
I flashed the Lupus JB kernal and then entered recovery menu and deleted formatted and now it just a blank screen as if the phone is off yet plugging in the usb is recognised by computer yet flashtools and Sony companion can't repair or recognise.
Any ideas?
Grover

Exactly what did you delete/format under recovery? All I did was pick the factory reset option, then wiped cache and dalvik cache, and then flashed the ROM and worked fine for me. I'm using version 8 of the kernel however for the extra data space.
Here are the ftf files for the stock original Sony firmware, which you can use to restore your device if flashing goes wrong (.79 is the latest): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43935357&postcount=2

I formatted the file as you did and it came on with a blank lit screen so I flash the default file in firmware a on flash tools to get nothing but a blank dead screen
Any help is greatly appreciated
Grover

1) Download the .79 ftf firmware and place it in Flashtool's firmware folder.
2) Open up flashtool, and plug in the Xperia PLAY in flash mode (hold back button while plugging in USB). Flashtool should report the device is in flash mode.
3) Press the flash button (lightning symbol) and select the stock .79 firmware, then confirm to flash that.
4) Wait for it to finish flashing. Flashtool will then ask you to reboot the device.
5) Unplug the phone and hold the power button until it vibrates. Let go and it should boot back into the stock Xperia software.
It should now be back to stock, and you can attempt to try custom ROMs and kernels again.

Unfortunately this is where the problem lies. Flash tools doesn't recognise that the phone is there hence can't flash it with stock firmware.
It is In a dead state. Is there anyone who offers a service to Unbrick it and what tools are required?
I am not dettered by having bricked my phone, as this is all part of my learning, although I would appreciated a possible fix to Unbrick it.
Thanks in advance
Grover

Have you installed the drivers for the phone from the flashtool driver folder? Have a check here on how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486

All the drivers where installed as per instruction. The phone is in a state of being off all the time no lights or anything.
The only thing that is heard is the usb sound on the computer when it is connected.
Flashtools Sony Companion doesn't see the phone at all.

But my bootloader was unlocked Via testpoint and i have both fastboot mode and flash mode working fine, i install kernels via .img like everyone else and im a r800X cdma user.

Yes, if you unlocked your Bootloader via the test point method for the R800x and the R800i you should have access to Fast Boot Mode. You only don't get access to Fast Boot Mode if you have "Bootloader unlock status: No"(and unlocked via the Test Point Method), witch is about 100% of R800a users.

As above. Sadly, all phones sold from O2 UK have bootloader unlock as no, so the normal way of unlocking won't work and only the tespoint method is avaliable... So no fastboot. Due to that, I buy my phones unlocked and unbranded now. Luckily thanks to the great developers on here we can still root and play around with custom ROMs.
What version of Windows are you using Grover? I'm not sure if it's related but I have problems with adb/fastboot drivers on Windows 8/8.1 with HTC devices. Everything works perfectly on 7 though.

Bootloop after flashing stock image

Hi guys, my nexus 5x is locked bootloader and i was running the last Android 7.1.1 stock. I decided to try the last CM14.1, entered TWRP and made a backup. I installed CM14.1 and gapps and my phone was in a bootloop. I decided then to restore my backup, restoration was successful but when i pressed reboot system, I was in a bootloop, at Google dots logo. I flashed successfully the DP 7.1.1 image but couldn't get out the bootloop. Flashed the last stock 7.0 image with the same result. I can access fastboot and recovery but until now couldnt get my phone to start and get out this bootloop. What can I do? Is it a hardware issue as i read somewhere on XDA?
Any help and advices please, I live in a country with no Google service center and I am desperate.

If flashing full stock (all not only system) and full wiping doesn't solve your issue sounds like the infamous hardware problem.
Make sure you didn't restore efs backup taken with twrp 3.0.2.1 otherwise look for efs fix.

You can't.
If you have a locked bootloader all you can do is to flash a full ota package from stock recovery and to wipe/factory reset if it let you to.
If it doesn't fix your issue unfortunately you have to RMA the phone.

when you restored from your backup, was EFS checked when you restored? if it was then you have an EFS file corruption. I personally wrote up a solution to this, here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/efs-file-corruption-fix-t3502473
make sure you follow the instructions, this has to be done with the Nexus root toolkit command window open with your phone in TWRP recovery and hooked up to your computer. if you try this, let me know how it goes and if you need help.
edit: your bootloader is unlocked which I know for sure, you can still boot into bootloader and re-root and install twrp back onto your phone even though you're boot looping. I know because the same thing happened to me and was still able to flash a custom recovery.

Yeah it is the EFS problem related to buggy versions of TWRP. Just use dd to to clear the EFS partitions - the chipset will luckily autogenerate the EFS contents on first boot.
Next time dont restore EFS partition from your backups and everything will be perfectly okay.
Makes me wonder how many hundreds of people have sent the device to RMA because of this issue.

Did you root your phone? If you did, you can use Qfil to restore your stock boot img (if you made a backup). If you didn't, you'd have to get someone to send you their boot image. I would have sent mine, but I cross flashed from Sprint to Open US. I doubt mine would work for you.
Why can't you cross flash?

You should clear modem and some other files stated in that post. Then you select all partitions in LGUP except one file also stated in the post. (I can't remember the name of the file)

yea i cleared the files mentioned in that post. and also cleared modem. Any kdz i flash, the first message i get is: this phone is permanently locked. it can not be unlocked. before this i tried some guy's backup from TWRP of his lg g8 sprint. i got lots of errors popping up when it booted. i think that's where my sim whatever got messed up.
From my research, i think a file called fsg has something to do with sim working. Also my IMEI is 0. any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
