THanks... i tried and got an error message saying.... device did not install properly... or make it in mcp or mtp thanks...

No problem hehe, but that's weird, do you have adb drivers installed correctly?

yes everything is ok...flashtool.... adb... drivers are inside or maybe I missed one? I can go fastboot but flash mode I cannot... wanted to flash to stock ROM.....

Hmmm, why dont you reinstall the drivers from the flashtool folder and see if that works?

[Q] Briccked xperia s with doomkernel

Hi all. I need help.. I've installed Doomkernl with ICS sotck firmware on the phone because I didn't read it was incompatible. Now it stuck at the boot screen and I can't do nothing. There is something I can do to repair it??
Flash only the kernel using flashtool, ics firmware
Tapatalked !
So I have to download the stock firmware and flash it? But I can do this when my phone is on and can't go in recovery mode? And also I cant install USB drivers..
Download and install flashtool. Then install drivers from the flashtool directory. Read the tutorial on how to use it
Tapatalked !
I did, I installed the driver with flashbot for xperia s but when i connect the device it tell me that can't install MTP USB driver. And I also need to turn off the phone but the power button doesn't work..
Hold the power and volume up button for 10 secs to power off. As for the drivers uninstall and reinstall flashtool and see if it works
Tapatalked !
Thanks for your help. I have installed an ics kernel in fastboot mode but when I rebooted I had black screen. So I have turned off the phone and connected in flashboot mode but it didn't install the driver. I reinstalled driver in the folder and tried to connect again but now the pc desn't recognize the device..
I tried again and this time it worked! The phone is restored. Thanks a lot for your help
As you've already got the answer to your query, I'm closing this thread.

[Q] Brick LWW (wt19) HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi, first of all, sorry about my english. I think it's terrible.
I have a SE WT19 stuck on FXP bootloop.
I had installed a custom kernel, but i guess i did something wrong.
At first, my cellphone is on bootloop (in some custom ROMs) or just on black screen.
So, i tried to flash a new kernel with flashtool, or a stock Rom with PCCompanion, but my device is not recognized by Windows 7.
Also is not recognized by Linux, or Mac.
The kernel that bricked my LWW was wt19i-live-rage2.7-kernel-for-fxp-cm7.
There is something possible to bring it alive again?
Ever uninstall and install all drivers and tried in another pc, aways shows the same message.
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer is not working properly, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." :crying: :crying:

My phone was rooted and unlooked bootloader. I tried ALL CM7/9/10 roms posted in the xda development forum. I have the latest flashtool installed, also the latest drivers. When I connect my phone in fastboot or in flash mode, nothing happens,, cause my pc (and flashtool) do not recognize the device.
Okay but what happens when u connect ur phone to pc while pressing vol up button(without running flashtool)?does the blue led show & pc doesn't recognize it?if yes then go to device manager on my computer & see whats the problem with ur device,try installing it from there.Another question,can u get into CWM?

When I press Up, turns on the blue led.
When I press Down, turns on the green led.
Device Manager displays: Unknow Device, and say I'm using the latest drivers, and something about Code 43 wrong.
I can get into CWM.
Nice then ur phone is perfectly okay :good:
just try another pc
or
unistall all related to ur device(flashtool,drivers,android sdk,pc companion,google usb) & reinstall.If that even don't work I suggest u to do a fresh install of windows.
See if it's a problem with the USB port. Are other devices connected to that port recognized? Some of the USB ports in the old PC at my home keep showing that message whatever I connect to it

Might be the phone's micro USB port is faulty???

The phone doesn't seem to be bricked. Try using Flashtool on another computer. Make sure you do have those fastboot drivers(when you first connect your phone to Flashtool in fastboot mode, Flashtool gives you a notification that drivers need to be installed for the device. I confirm that the ones provided in C:\Flashtool\drivers work for LWW )
(Always make sure the kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash)
Start with the stock kernel(the one provided inside the CM7/CM9 zip - boot.img). Then flash the relevant ROM and see what happens. Once that works fine, start tinkering with various kernels out there.
Don't worry, it's just a soft brick
I haven't bricked my WT19 yet but I did soft brick my former X8 and Someone else's Galaxy something...
What I can advise you do is flash the whole stock .ftf ROM from Sony, just search for the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, flash it and start from scratch.
About your pc not recognizing your phone: how then did you flash the kernel?? Do have the Sony PC Companion installed on your machine? I have it just for the driveers, I know Flashtool comes with them but I rather have the offiicial somethimes... I think MediaGo also comes with them.
Anyhow, I hope you can get your phone working. Let us know how it went

Micro USB port works fine too.
Hi guys,
All tests done.
Other pc, or OS, do not recognize my device.
Tried another notebook, tried another windows version, another Linux and MacOS, nothing works!!
So, this process of kernel change could cause some hardware damage?
I really can't change the kernel in cwm recovery?
Just to recall, I can change the battery, got the phone in fasboot/flash mode, got CWM working, install new ROM but, or finish with bootloop or with black screen.

I have also installled drivers from drivers folder but flash tool dont recognize my device. what i am doind wrong?
Dude, i presume you are trying to install it while the phone is on.
Put the ics file in Flashtoo/firmwares.
Switch your phone off
Enter flashmode by vol- and put usb in, red light will come
then flash ics

[REALLY NEED HELP] Flashtool doesn't allow my Xperia U to flash ROMs/kernels

Hi...
I wanted to flash a kernel, so I entered into fastboot mode with the "up" volume holded, and then, the blue LED appeared, but then, it just dissappeared! So Flashtool didn't flash anything.
Again, and again, one time and other, and again.
I get bored and decided to flash the ROM I had in CWM, so I flashed it from CWM and now, I cannot turn on my phone cause it makes bootlogo.
Flashtool still does the same thing with my device when I'm trying to flash any Stock Rom or Kernel.
Please, I need the phone for daily usage and for tomorrow.
What can I do? I can enter to CWM but I don't know more things to do to solve this problem...
Help, please.
Try flash the kernel via cmd.

The problem is that I connect the phone to the PC through a USB, okay, while I connect with the USB, the blue LED turns on for a few seconds, but then it turns off, so I can't flash any kernel even if I'm using flashtool or cmd.
Please... help.
When I select "Mount usb storage" in CWM, my PC doesn't recognize anything!
I could restore a backup that I have but,...
Try removing the battery on your phone and pressing power a few times, then open stock rom in Flashtool and when it says to press the back button, insert battery-hold volume down-insert cable as fast as possible...
Thanks, really...
But nothing changes...
I've installed ADB, SDK and PC Companion but my PC still doesn't recognize the phone, so I can't add my backup to CWM through "mount USB Storage"...
Help please!
Exactly, install stock ROM through an .ftf and flashtool... afterwards you can copy your backup on the phone and install a kernel with recovery

But if PC doesn't recognize my phone, flashtool also doesn't do it!, so I can't flash anything, the green LED turns on but in a few seconds it turns off and doesn't flash anything, just turns on the phone that makes bootlogo :/
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I really apreciate
Is your boot loader locked or unlcoked?
Have you ever flashed with flashtool before?
Did you install the drivers with the installer in flashtool drivers directory(the one for your phone + falsh and fastboot mode drivers)?
Finally yesterday after three hours I could flash a stock ROM, don't know how changed but I could do it.
FINE
Thanks all!

[Q] Xperia U Hard Bricked

Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)
