hello
im trying to flash my xperia arc to ics but it wont flash
it always stuck on vendor.sin or system.sin
plz help
use the latest flashtool and make sure verification is unticked before flashing
it still stuck on system.sin
when the flashing starts its all good until it reaches to flashing vendor
then the percentage is still the same 10%
The most common cause locked bootloader, have you have it unlocked?
how can i know if its locked?
i cant use my phone
i have the logo of sony and then i see a phone under a caution sign
here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
knowing that you can't use your phone, just follow instruction to unlock it (don't read step 1-2, just jump to step 3)
cmiiw
have u ever tried to unlock it?or atleast do u remember? C'mon dig up the memories

well its like a digital fingerprint of a device..they are unique..no two fingerprints are same..they are 15 digits code.. Just key in *#06# on your mobile phone and it will display its IMEI number..just follow the instruction to unlock the bootloader man..
or you can find your IMEI in your phone box if i'm not mistaken
You can find the IMEI underneath the battery as well.

I think you can keep your bootloader unlocked.
Just download an official ROM FTF file for your phone and flash it using Androxyde's FlashTool. It should debrick your phone. Then, you can repeat your experiments with custom ROMs.

i have tried using it but no change..

Can someone help me to revive my hard bricked xperia acro s?are there any solutions to repair the boot of this device?I've got a deadboot acro s. No fastboot mode no flashmode. Only solid red light. PC detects my device as a SEMC flash device, QHUSB device when no drivers installed. My device was bricked upon installation of a custom ROM on CWM called MOKEE OS . I've been searching for solutions but can find any, only solutions for hard bricked xperia SP(repaired via s1tool). Anyone here who has d same problem?
My phone is not under warranty anymore. Anyone who can help?
BUMP
I have the same problem. I tried to replace the driver, the phone was defined as qhsusb_dload. Also tried to set the device as a Qualcomm QDLoader 9008. QPST saw my phone in download mode, but when I try to download something, I get an error "Image Download Failed. Cookie(if present) not received". I think i need a XML-file with settings for my device, and bootloader-mage for QPST. This also dont help me:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351&page=2 . Now i think the problem can be solved only JTAG. My phone - Sony Xperia Acro S (lt26w). Sry for my English, I am from Russia.
those links that you've given will surely not work since those methods are for samsung and htc, and since they have different soc's it will not work. S1tool is a good thing to try but s1 tool doesnt support msm8260 soc which is also an impossible method to repair our device. RIFF jtag box however supports LT26i which has d same SOC with our LT26w. But on riff jtag box website, I cant find JTAG steps for xperia acro s only for xperia S(LT26i). Also im not sure whether this two devices has d same pinouts also. If s1tools supports msm8260 soc already maybe its a good sign for us. Right now d only way is to bring our devices on service centers nearby. It been nearly a year since my XAS died.
Anyone who can help us please?
anyone?Please help :crying:

so you unrooted and flash with flashtool,and the effect is not booting up?Is there any LED light when you try to turn the phone up???The problem flashing with Xperia Companion or PC Companion is that the phone has to be booted up.
EDIT:I saw somewhere here on xda forum that xperia companion might work if your bootloader is still locked.
Update your device with computer

i read that whoever sites with Flash Tools Change-ROM, the phone jailbroken and the other just yet. A piece of plastic
I unlocked my bootloader, then I replace my boot image and recovery image.
Here's the problem:
I didn't back up.
the device can't detect my SIM card, I try another boot.img, the SIM card is detected, but no sound output.
Emma isn't working, flashtool by Androxyde didn't have a "G3426" selection.
I can't find any TFT file for my device, and can't find a boot.img for my device.
If my problem can be fixed by flashing a new boot.img, how can I get it?
If can't, what is the solution?

Hi
If I were you, I would relock the bootloader, connect your phone to the PC and use Xperia companion to repair your software.
Did u backup TA partition and DRM keys?
No

You've a problem so.
You've lost DRM keys*, so you won't be able anymore to:
- use display enhancements (Bravia engine, etc.; You will see them as enabled, but they won't work)
- some audio enchantments (audio will be worse; same)
- camera enchantments (low light photos, zoom, etc.; Same)
- login to Xperia services and so on
- backup your phone with Sony's app to Google
- and many others....
*DRM keys are keys (series of numbers) that are used by Sony to activate some Xperia features. They cannot be fixed on your phone (only if you have Z3, Z4, Z5) and cannot be generated. Only assistance can do something.
And you cannot do anything for all of this, neither if you will use repair software.
What I would do if I were you:
- relock bootloader with flashtool
- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)
- send your phone to assistance telling them you've lost DRM keys
- wait
- pay (80% probable, cause it's outside of the warranty)
- done
... Or buy another phone.
Hope could be helpful

Thank you!
But I can't
- relock bootloader with flashtool ( No stock kernel, cannot be verified when booting)
- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)[Cos I unlocked my bootlocker]
By the way, I found a TFT file. But I can't flash it with the flash tool.
So I extract it and found a folder called "firmware"
Should I replace my firmware in my mobile with those?

Hehe there's a trick to flash with flashtool without verification!
- uninstall your flashtool
- download from flashtool website THE PREVIOUS VERSION that doesn't verify anything on boot and install
- enjoy
If you relock bootloader you would be able to repair software
The folder is C://users/your name/.flashtool
I don't have a PC now, but if I remember well there's a folder like firmwares or something similar. If you don't find it, download a random firmware with flashtool (obviously don't install it) and watch where there's the ftf inside the aforementioned folder
PS hit like if it was helpful, more people will find it

I replaced the firmware, nothing changed...
All I need not is the kernel. It's not the problem with the firmware.
But I can't get the boot.img for my device.

As told before, just relock bootloader with flashtool, you should be able to do that with the previous version of flashtool, as told before.
After that, go to Xperia companion and repair software. It will solve all, cause it flashes everything (boot, recovery, etc.)

Ahem... I didn't understand what you said...
If I understood correctly, you shouldn't have problems, because "repair software" downloads the firmware, the boot, the recovery and so on from Sony servers

The SIM card isn't working.
It's about the boot.img (I guess so)
I can't repair mobile(unlocked)
I can't relock it(no stock boot.img)
If I relock it anyway (I tried it), it can't boot and shows"This device can't be verified, power off after 5 second"
I copied all the firmware correctly (with twrp file manager)
Nothing changes.

When you said "If I relock it anyway" did u do it? If yes, power the phone down and connect it to pc JUST PRESSING VOLUME DOWN (no power button) with "repair software" opened up. If the software will find your phone, just repair, else press "device not found", it will do a deep scan into your USB ports.

Aww... But still, no root.
I can't dump my boot.img without root... Fewer developers support G3426...
I can't even boot into TWRP with my stock boot image...
Flashtool root will always show "Waiting for device. After 60secs, stop waiting will be forced"
