Develop Bugs

Bricked?

Hey guys. i just updatet my firmware official over sony ericsson. after that the handy wont boot. its vibrates but nothing happens then.
I tried to flash it. Flashing successful but still the same problem.
Its kinda retarded that all the custom roms worked but when i installed an OFFICIAL update its broken....
when i plug in the ac the led flashes green

It's just Sony Ericssons crappy update software being stupid. Get Sony Ericsson Update Service and use that to repair the software; it always works for me no matter what - it can take around 20 retries though -_-... Try removing the battery for 30 seconds after around 10 retries - I have no idea why this helps but it has in the past...

updater says" the phone contains modified software that cannot be updated"
beforce i flashed the original fw with wotanserver. so there cant be anything modified
flashing with wotan works btw. but the phone doesnt boot.
also tried with flashtool. flashing works but still doesnt boots. im ****ing pissed guys!:

...anyone?

you really need to read what wotanserver.com says
Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY CDA Programmin
CDA number is changed to make sure your phone will not revert to previous firmware & branding if you use official Update Service (SEUS).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so now you know why you can't use SUES any more atleast

hmmmm
I was at the same point, try following the same steps i did in order to revive my xperia play.
1. Download the same (or lower supported) build number SO that you had before you did all the (not legal ) things you did.
2. Flash it via flashtool, or with fastboot (i did it with flashtool).
3. Disconnect your phone and release the battery for 10 seconds.
4. Re-flash (do the step 2 once more).
5. Reboot normally or via fastboot (put the phone in fastboot mode (blue led) and open a command box inside the fastboot folder and run: -fastboot reboot).
6. Wait a little, as it's like the phone is new it will take some time rebooting, it may also some time in the sony ericsson logo, don't get mad, it's normal!
Hope that will help you a bit. Bye!

Can you enter recovery?

Did you tried to re-lock the bootloader?

Xperia Arc S Unbriked With Sucess

Hi guys i want to share some information who was useful for me with Xperia Arc S 12w07 :
Important : Dont make normal updates with SEUS ou PCC if your phone was unlocked by other tool, because you will brick the phone, you need to start using other firmwares, but ask for opinions first..
After Alejandrissimo unbrick my phone, the phone ask me to do update to new version, so i click yes to make thet update, and after 5 seconds gave me one error in update, so my phone was dead again with yellow triangle with one phone, so i talk to alejandrissimo again and he gave one file to fix the phone again with Flashtool, so i will share with you ok, but i think i already saw this file in other post..
Steps :
1º - Install Flashtool - flashtool-0.9.10.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
1.1º - Google and find this file : " [Xperia Device] flashmode & fastboot driver bundle " and install all..
2º - Install all Drivers
3º - In flashtool be sure if the drivers already installed, sometimes the file install but in pc need to install more with the phone connected
4º - Select Flash Mode
5º - Put the fix file in folder firmware of flastool, and you can delete the other file x10 in the same folder you dont need.
6º - In " Program Files\Flashtool\devices\LT18 " you have this file loader.sin, when you try to flash if he give this error : " cant find loader_unlocked.sin ", then you need to rename the " loader.sin " file to " loader_unlocked.sin", and then flash again, and will work..
If was simple bick like my phone it will be fix it, maybe for other phones is the same, check the devices folder for the files and if you need to rename like i did...
Hope this help for some people ok..:good:
Now i need to update to new version of android, but i need to see what is the correct file to flash or i will brick my phone again..
Tks to Alejandrissimo again, he teach me to do that.. :fingers-crossed:

Prestigio 4500T Duo need to revive

I need help please, because I can't get my new prestigio 4500T turn on.
I first did the CWM recovery in this site, androidforum.cz/pro-pap4500t-dc-1-2ghz-s-jb-4-1-1-t38976.html
and it was all ok.
But then I wanted to remove the CWM recovery of my phone, because I had some problem updating my phone to the new rom because of it,
and I went to the same program I installed CWM recovery, Smart Phone Flash Tool, and I put the same scatter file I used to install, and instead of clicking on download I clicked Format, and then format whole flash, because it was there that I would take CWM recovery of my phone.
Now I can't turn my phone on, when I connect usb at pc, it connects and disconnects a lot of times. I even tried to do the same steps to download the CWM recovery on my phone but in SP Flash Tool I get this error: BROM ERROR: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)
[HINT]: Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
I don't know what to do and please Help me. Thanks

Nobody answers? Please can anybody help me?

Thanks for your help, I have a boot.img of the stock rom, I put in the same folder of MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc and CheckSum.ini , but when I try to download via SP flash tool I get this error:
Image Bootimg checksum failed! Checksum reference value (0x5583) in the config.ini file.
Please re-fill correct checksum values in checksum.ini.
I don't know what are the checksum values, can you tell me where i can find these values?

I am getting this DRAM error, because I don't have the correct files to flash in SP flash tool.
Please can you give me all those files needed to put a whole new firmware in y phone, I need the preloader file, and etc.
My phone can't detect preloader, as it did, and I can't boot it, it's like dead, only appears a red light when I connect to pc and a MTk USB Port (COM).
Please help me with the files needed to flash my whole phone in sp flash tool

flash mode is terminating after 1 minute / no possibility to flash ftf-roms

Hi there,
using the flashtool I am able to flash new recoveries but not the complete roms because of a timing bug:
connecting the XM via cable / vol down the device is recognized as flash mode.
Exactly after one minute the flash mode is terminating by itself - and this is to short to flash a new rom (neither the preparation of the files has been finished).
=> anybody a solution for my issue?
=> has someone a dl link for the 4.3 stock rom (15.4.A.1.9-CE) as a zip? Zip files could be used, but no ftf flash files
If I wait for the connection of the XM until flashtool says "connect in flash mode" then an "ERROR flashing - aborted" occurs. Why?
The BL was unlocked directly before the error-flashing...
Thanks for your responses.

Error from wrong flashtool
My flashtool version was 0.9.19.8 and during the blu-process the level meter stucks.
With "new" (or old) version 09.18.1 - everything worked well.

No operating system

I opened the phone, and with recovery accidently deleted android.
Now the phone has no operating system and it stops on the white Sony logo.
Cant flash android as flashtool doesnt recognise the device. Also Sony EMMA doesnt recognise the device.
Is there something I can do to flash android again?

You still should be able to boot into Flashmode.
Download this: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/zCWNOyLT/file.html
Put it in Flashtool\devices.
Inside are modded XA1 files to match XA1 Ultra. With that You can create and flash* .ftfs.
That way I create ftfs for users of my polish forum about Xperias: http://www.xperiasite.pl/forum/396-xperia-xa1-ultra/
*Don't have XA1 Ultra, but simulations gave no errors and there is no complains from users.

Thanks
But i cant download the files ad i cant register to your site in polish.
Can you send ne another link to your files?
I have a G3221 version

Here You have all firmwares fo XA1u I created: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=201573
On that forum are additionally links to GDrive and MEGA.
Not sure where to upload that Flashtool files, never had problem with Zippy.
EDIT: Here GDrive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UqjtcLWyHOMDhGTjlJLW15TlE

Thanks
Firgett my last post, i managed to download both fules.
Will let you know if i managed to flash the device.
Thanks again

Thanks for your help
I download all the files
Put the first file in the flashtool/devices
Put the firmware in flashtool/firmwares
Also, i have the last version of flashtool.
But still flashtool dont recognise the device and not the firmware...
Can you tell me what can i do?

Not sure. Did You put G32XX folder into Flashtool/devices folder and .ftf into /firmwares?
Don't have he device, but at least firmware and unknown device in flashmode should be seen by Flashtool.

In the newest version of flashtool it doesnt recognise the firmware.
I did install an old version of flashtool and it did recognize the firmware, but still could not flash it...

Any error? Maybe it can be bypassed.

I use now flashtool version 0.9.22.3
It recognise the device
It also recognise the firmware.
With your firmware it flash with no errors and in the end it is saying ''Please unplug and start your phone''
But the phone still stuck on the SONY white screen.
I tried fkashing other firmwares but there is an error like ''can read only 55000 bites instead of 60000'' and then the flash is aborted...
Very strange...

Hello im trying to flash stock firmware in my G3223 but nothing detect the firmware. Please let me know. Thanks
