Hey guys i was trying to install a recovery in to my Xperia T3 D5106 and i used the flashtool software (now emma) to do it. It turns out that emma only supports the D5103 version but i proceed anyway (because i'm stupid) and installed something that the emma say it's a Service (i guess it's a updated ROM and recovery) in to the T3 D5106. But the phone now won't boot and it stuck in a warning message saying:
"WARNING
The software version does not correspond with this model type
Model
[SEAGUL_REX]
Software
[SEAGUL_GINA]"
I tried restoring it with Xperia companion but failed to do so because the bootloader is unlocked. Is there anyway to comeback from this? I've downloaded the original ROM of my device but i don't know how to flash it. If anyone know how can i revert to the original ROM i would be very grateful.
Thanks.
Nevermind, the phone booted after the warning message. I don't know what happened, maybe i wasn't waiting long enough. I can't access recovery though.

Hi all,
I've got the Sony Xperia S and unlocked the bootloader and rooted it once and flashed it with the AOKP, but that didn't work, so I tried the Cyanogenmod 10.0 (Jelly Bean). In summary I think it was the wrong Combination of kernel and custom rom, because it didnt boot anymore and got stuck at the logo.
So I closed the bootloader again and installed the official stock rom from Sony, and all got fine, luckily.
With some more reading into right forums and better knowledge I got the right custom rom and kernel and tried to unlock the bootloader again, but suddenly it didnt work.
Message: Failed (remote: oem unlock 0xF (und noch mehr F) )
I did all with fastboot and the right adb drivers, the phone is installed correctly.
Yesterday I asked for my problem in a shop and the guy said, that the bootloader of any Sony device would close completely, if the (right or wrong) unlock code is used for too many times (like the limit of 10 times).
If he's right, I've got a big problem. But can't I open it with an alternatvie method? Or is there just any mistake?
Thanks for any answer
Chriszo
i dont know, but ive already relocked and unlocked many times without error ,
try to do it again and be sure to input the correct 0xKEY
CM10 contains it's own kernel so could never be a wrong combination of rom and kernel. Did you actually unlock the bootloader or just root the phone? Sounds like your bootloader was locked and you were trying to flash still

Thanks for the answers.
I don't still know what constellation I really tried to instal the kernel and firmware, but I think it was an advanced stock kernel and then the firmware of the aokp. After that I tried the Cyanogenmod, but the device just didnt boot, there was only the logo.
I remember to have taken the kernel named ics17.elf and the advanced stock kernel with the official 4.0.55 build number.
The the device was rooted and the "sd card" was not wiped, but the data of the apps were deleted.
So the bootloader was open because the kernel can't be flashed with a locked bootloader.
After that I flashed the aokp and then the cyanogen mod.
Because of no booting I relocked the bootloader and installed the official firmware from sony.
Since then I try to unlock the bootloader with this damn error
I try to unlock with another computer. Maybe it work and its a simple solution. To unlock my bootloader i need to use my wife´s laptop.... i try in my compputer many times, install drivers, uninstall, and a lot of tricks but fastboot give me "error" all the times... lol
I just chatted and called with the Sony support (nice to hear great english at the phone ) and again got to hear, that they aren't able or allowed to give any information about the bootloader because of the possibility to loose the warranty of the phone.
I dont know really where my problem is but I think the code is not working any more, although I cant imagine of that
Is there any other way to do that? Or do I just do a stupid mistake ???
Thanks
Chris

No no no!
Another guy on xda did it with FlashTool on locked bootloader. I was able to do it until the logo...
Apparently you only can flash roms I think, not?
Anyway Sony supports Open Developer Community as well, they give you info about bootloader here:
unlockbootloader.sonymobile[dot]com
No, I cant flash any rom, therefore I need an unlocked bl. And the stock rom from sony isnt available in the internet, just with the Sony-mobile-update-service.
Well, of course I tried the way Sony dicribes on this webside, as explained below -.-
Got the solution ??
Hey I have the same exact problem and i did the same things as you did ... did get a solution?? please inform me if you did.....

go to service centre tell them that you were doing a 4.3 update and this happened.they wont recognise that your phone has an unlocked bootloader bcoz it doesnt start!they will replace it make sure you dont have cwm installed.

Hey I'm new here so sorry if I explain it weirdly and I mistakenly posted this in a different section before
So my xperia M which is now unrooted can't install the 15.4.A.1.9 update it just downloads and reboots and goes to the boot up screen and loads for 2-3 seconds and blacks out and and restarts and it says couldn't install update. How can I fix this?
Try flashing a .ftf file via flashtool
Press thanks if I helped!
This might me the answer
Hey there!
I think i understood your problem and i have a question to ask you. is your bootloader locked or did u unlocked ur bootloader anytime and didnt lock it back.?
if your bootloader is unlocked , u wont be able to install updates from official Sony Update Center.
I dono if this is the exact reason y ur are unable to do but this happened with my phone too.
I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004 and i wasnt able to install updates, then i noticed that my bootloader was unlocked then i used Flashtool to lock it back, then i was able to install the updates
Or if u want to install .FTF of your phone manually do it via Flashtool coz its safe
and if you want to get .FTF of your phone directly from Sony use PC Companion as Sony Update Service [SUS] is stopped
Hope it helps :angel::fingers-crossed::good:
Hi guys,
I've tried everything, but after successful root I can't unlock bootloader and flash recovery mode. Fastboot is also not running. The stock ROM is awfully slow and I wanted to flash a new one... That is what I see when I enter the service menu (see the attachment) :/
Please, help :c
Xperia S LT26i (2012, I think)
Its just not allowed to unlock your bootloader.
Nothing more to say.
Send thanks to Orange, where you device is from.
You may try other ROMs based on stock one, but optimized. As said above you can't do anything about it. I would suggest you to update the phone to a new one with unlocked bootloader, SXS too old nowdays with it's S3 CPU.
As it says in the title, I can't install the new software update.
Oddly, I'm still on the latest KitKat because I didn't got the earlier lollipop updates.
If I try to install the new update, it simply reboots and says that the Installation failed, nothing more like an error code or something else.
I don't think that a previous Custom ROM, which I erased with Sony Emma, bothers that, but if it would, there you go.
Here are all the specs:
Model info: D5503
Software version: 14.4.A.0.157
Previous installed ROM: CyanogenMod 12 (not 12.1), erased and stock restored with Sony Emma
Internal Storage free space: 8.3 GB
SD-Card free space: 24.16 GB

Xperiafirm fault. Solution:
After download and extract rom don't bundle it. Firstly remove from folder one file fwsomething.xml I don't remember exactly name of file but is one file with that name. Delete it and after that create bundle with flashtool and after that flash and everything will works superb!

fwinfo.xml was causing the issue, fwinfo.xml will be used by the next version of flashtool to create a FTF. just need to remove it from the FTF. anyway, thanks man!
I'm having the same problem, I previously tried rooting my Xperia Z1 (C6903) but it is now restored. However when I tried updating to 14.5.a.0.242, it said "The device contains modified software that cannot be updated". Is it because the phone was not restored properly? (I restored by flashing Android 4.4)

Did you unlock your bootloader...? Is it still unlocked....? If so you need to relock for OTA updates

wouldn't relocking bootloader cause problems (besides preventing flashing and root)?

No... locked just means restricted access same as a locked door.... but your device needs locked B/L to take an OTA Sony official Stock firmware update.... personally I would never wait for the official release if I have unlocked B/L I would always search and you can find firmware updates a lot quicker than everyone else waiting for the OTA on their device or thru PC Companion,
I use this very handy tool to get available stock firmware for Xperia devices
Relock bootloader only
If you want to relock your bootloader (e.g. for downloading official sony updates in Sony Update Service) you can do so with flashtool. This only works if you already unlocked the bootloader with the official method.
Note: This does not restore the DRM keys. If you have a warranty issue you should restore your TA parition (which will relock your bootloader and restore DRM keys) with Backup TA.
1. Open flashtool
2. Click on the BLU icon
3. Connect your phone in flashmode (hold volume down and plug in your USB cable)
4. Flashtool will ask you about the device model, choose Sony XPERIA Z1 (if Z1 compact is not in the list)
5. Flashtool will read your IMEI and your unlock code. Check if those are correct (compare unlock code with the one you received by email from Sony when you unlocked the bootloader)
6. Flashtool will save the unlock code in its program folder under custom/mydevices.
7. Click "Lock bootloader" (-> If you want to unlock it again, repeat the steps (it will automatically detect that your bootloader is locked))
