So I just got the phone today and decided to upgrade to ics, that was a big mistake. The phone won't turn on . When I plug it into the computer it has the green charging led but when I plug it into the charger nothing just a dark green led that will blink every 10 seconds or so. don't care if I have to downgrade I just want it to work. Also when it's not plugged in it does the same dark green blink and when I try turning it on nothing no vibration or anything.
Use flashtool to unbrick your device.

Weird, maybe you flashed it wrong. Anyways, go back to GB and then flash again to ICS if you'd like to, you shouldn't get any troubles downgrading.

As for my knowledge this is not possible! but next time use the "MyPhoneExplorer" it keeps contacts in PC so whenever u flash firmware, install its client on phone and run this software on PC and then it will put all the contacts that u had on ur phone before flash. last night i had done rooting on my phone by following steps hope it will also help u for flashing a firmware via flashtool.

I don't think you'll void your contract because you are re flashing the service providers update .
Your problem may be due to incomplete flashing .
Press thanks if I helped you!

Which provider do you have? You are scared if you flash an international firmware instead of the one from your provider, you can't use sim card or what's the problem about that?

You mean your provider, right? Not your contacts like everyone else are saying. Well, nothing will happen, it's just an international firmware, you won't lose the contract... Don't worry
Don't worry bro, It has nothing to do with your Provider. Go ahead.

1.He upgraded his device to ics and the phone won't boot.
2.He doesn't want to downgrade (gb) or reflash (ics) using international ftf firmware (flashtool method) .
3. He always used official update software and he is afraid of voiding the CONTRACT with his service provider if he uses flashtool method.
4. Please read the op clearly he doesn't mean CONTACTS he means the CONTRACT with his service provider.
5. To the op,
Please post your problem step by step clearly and highlight the important words by using upper case letters or different color.
6. As I've never used a network contract phone I cannot comment on this thread confidently. So others please try to help the op.

One won't lose the warranty if he/she fails in an official upgrade, send it to the dealer for repair before trying oneself with Flashtool, which may alter the build.prop, and else. Right?
By the way, my Xperia Mini Pro fails to change the input method by long pressing the text input area with.431 ics ROM, any hints? Thanks.

If you have never rooted and bootloader is locked (and I think it is), please send it to service or give it to the shop where you've bought it. This is better, and because it was an official update, you should be able to claim your warranty.
If you try to do it yourself with flashtool, you will modify your phone and if they find out, your warranty is lost. So please don't flash it, give it to service

what are the consequences of sending verizon my rooted eris for a refurb and should i put it back to stock before i do ?
are there going to be extra charges ?
just downgrade it to the stock 2.1 (or even 1.5) rom and you'll be fine.
The consequences are that they will take it back no questions asked then give you a ****ty 2.1 phone back with 1.49 locked boot loader then you will have to sit and watch this board on your phone with the faint hope that someone figures out how to root it one day in a way that does not involve you poping your SD card in and out about 700 times in the faint hope that it works once!

you can install a non-rooted room over top and lose root. if you decide to not hand it over, the bootloader doesnt change, so you can re-root it again if need be.

You might have to mess with your drivers to get your phone and pc to see each other. Try deleting your drivers, unplug phone, plug it back in and try to reinstall the drivers from sdk.

my drivers are straight because my girls phone works just fine
but when i plug mine i just says cannot recognize device
so i will try to use a older nand of a plain rom that i think i have
also i just tried to clean the track ball using the above method with no avail.
This damn device vibrating all the time and it's impossible to use it, even can't call someone, that drives me crazy anymore, and all I can do seems like using a script revealed on the web. However to be able to run that script, if I'm not mistaken, I have to root the device.
Well, rooting a.62 entails unlocking the boot loader. Don't know why I couldn't manage it. So, tried to downgrade to A.42 with WotanClient. However, again, it didn't work. Just connecting the device while holding the volume down button, but the application can't recognize the device.
Now, what can I do to make those script stuff work, if rooting is the only way to go, then how can I root A.62 version ?

Turn the phone off, hold down Volume DOWN button, connect the USB cable. Green LED has to turn on, nothing will be on the screen. Then is phone in flashmode. If app cannot find the device, install proper drivers.
Well, I downloaded booth flashtool and firmware. Followed the steps in the given instructions however when I connect the device by pushing and holding volume down button, it identifies the device but does nothing, then device gets disconnected by itself. What am I supposed to do.

Well I'm not very knowledgeable about it but if you root it on 0.58 you have to stick to it, even the reason downgrading is to be able to root it, since recent versions can not be rooted, right.

The problem your hpone has is a common problem. (look up on google). It is caused by a know issue on the Xperia Mini. The overheating. I experienced the same issue too. The capacitive buttons are actually heat sensetive and respont to the warmth of the body when touched. In case of mini, due to faulty hardware, the touchscreen getss excessively hot, and the back button asusumes "touch" all the time.
Many thought it was over sensitiveness of the back button rather than over heat of the device. But it turns out, the Sony themselves recognised the issue, and promised a replacement. I did it myself from the local Service Centre, I will recommended you to go the same.
About flashing using flashtool, first select the ROM in flashtool, and then connect the device by pressing the back button when asked.

Once flashed the 058 firmware and rooted it, you can upgrade via OTA (not PC Companion) to .62 without losing root.
Remember that having an unlocked bootloader would brick the phone. Use OTA only with locked bootloader.

Thanks for your post, but I'm aware of the reason of that problem and as you said I followed all the steps, including connecting while depressing the volume down button, but nothing happens, flashing process does not start.
Try to download the latest version of flashtool.
Somehow I managed to downgrade to .42
And then rooted it with a dos interfaced application. Looks like it has been rooted but how can I tell if it is or not ?
When it comes main reason of all those burdensome endeavor, I'm tried to run the script for heating problem. Installed the Gscript. Created a new script and click to run, however a blue screen comes up and nothing happens. Vibration problem still reigns.
To know if you have root, just check if SuperUser app is installed. Now when you run GScript, SuperUser shuold ask you if you want to allow root access for the application. If not, there's a problem :/
:/ there is no such application on the menu.
But the doomlord_v4_root application has worked well and it said "all done" at the end and restarted the phone.
Oh well... I don't know -__-
I mean, I'm not such an expert user, maybe someone else knows if this is a common issue or not. Sorry, you'll have to wait for someone else's help

Hm, no IP is normal since you aren't connected, but no MAC is kinda worrying.
Only one last advice is to flash GB rom, clean stock. Some people are having WiFi problems, although not like you, but I don't have any more ideas.
If that doesn't help then I believe it's hardware fault .
If you never flashed some other rom with flashtool, meaning you still have you original firmware on your phone, you can write down CDF number so you can go back to original fw before sending it for warranty(if you have any) repair.
how to get to that number read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604559
After you do that, flash .ftf file with flashtool.
You can use MT11i 4.0.2.A.0.62 GB CUSTOMIZED-NCB-Nordic WORLD-I 1255-1755 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24983670&postcount=246

Well, I don't think it will help, I can only hope
But to be honest I don't have to much faith in fix. People had problems on ICS with WiFi, but they could find networks only not be able to connect on them.
Strange in your case is that it doesn't even find any network.

Well, depends on how you unlocked it. You can relock it in both cases. But if you unlocked it officially from sony dev page there is possibility they will notice that DRM certificates are gone.

No need for root, just to flash .ftf file with flashtool.
I don't know if its software or hardware, I can't be sure without testing. People had strangest problems which on first look looks like hardware problem, but after flash its fixed.

As you said ,repairing phone will make your phone like "brand new".
On Locked Bootloader , latest stock firmware will be flashed .
On Unlocked Bootloader, nothing will happen.
PC companion will download firmware and then throw error saying "Phone is unlocked" or something and will quit.
In both cases phone "wont" be bricked.

Okay thanks bro :good:
Merry Christmas all,
I bought my S9+ 18 about months ago from one of those cell phone stores.
Well since I bought the device, I never received an update. If I am not wrong, this device is originally from Luxemburg, I live in Austria and my provider is T-Mobile.
I have been looking all over the internet to find the right update, but i think none of the ones I found were the correct update for the device I own.
In the attachment you find the device information, can you maybe help me to find the right update file. I would much appreciate your help!
OR
Is there way to change my device, as if I bought it directly from T-Mobile, so I receive the future updates automatically, without root access?
Best wishes,
timsah
It should be this one......

even when the phone gets to the state where it says that the software is corrupt and to connect it to Keis, do not connect it to Keis. That screen is also download mode, and if you have that screen, a computer, usb cord and Odin, youre likely going to be able to fix your phone. Ive never once seen anyone use smartswitch to achieve this

Thanks for finding the right file.
Can I flash another official rom over the existing official one without any concerns? This is the rom I want to flash.
