Exactly. Samsung phone tends to lose imei when they flashed alot, thats why their imei can be backuped. But never heard of xperia phone loses imei due to flashing. And i do flash my phone, alot.

Exactly, even I wanted to know if Xperia phone can also have problem similar to Samsung. If yes then how to back up EFS folder.
From this discussion it seems that Xperia phones do not have this kind of issue.

@Aarush --
im using a stock rom
Deleted maybe camera click.ogg?

Some 3rd part apps are able to disable camera click sounds?

I suspect that some apps are affecting it, bcoz when i factory reset the camera sound is working, and after installing some apps, the problem gets back..

That is kinda good news right,listen when installing apps you can install one by one(install one and check camera sound) and check which causes this problem and remove it
@ taaviu: yes! I've checked everything. I used root explorer to find .ogg files.. And it is still in my system.

Backup with titanium and simply restore it after youve installed new rom.
Dont forget to move your titanium backup folder on sd card to somewhere ex, pc before you format your sd card.

Okay. So tell me if you have root or not. If your bootloader is unlocked or not. If you have CWM installed or not?
(Before I help you: I just now broke one of my friend's LWW. I think it was me only. )

Okay. So here's what you as a normal Sony Customer do. Take your phone to the Sony Store. And he will repair it there. As it must be still under warranty.
On the other hand, if you want to play with warranty and want to fix it at home, then, download an application called flashtool from the internet. Using this tool, flash the ftf of .42 firmware on to your cell.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
Head over here and read the section called as downgrade. Here you will find all relevant files too.

No. He got it corrected now. .
He was trying to root a non rootable firmware in a new method as worked out by puppet13th.
The method should have worked in theory, but it did not due to lack of space in phone memory of Till's phone. And that's why it briked.
Now, puppet has worked on the problem, and has edited his project, such that the file which was causing the problem (this file was required for rooting), was removed soon after it did it's job of helping in the root process. .

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.

[Q] [HELP] System folder erased, WT19 don't start

Hi. I deleted by mstake the System folder in my Live with Walkman and now it became usefull.
The only thing it do is show the Sony Ericsson screen and I cannon make anything. I believe I need an external tool to repair it. I dowloaded Android Commander, but it crashes. I suppose it is because I can't enable the USB on the phone.
I need help.
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

What should i do? I tried to remove and reinstall driver, and also driver of fastboot. May i flash again CM 10? Thanks for support guys.
Maybe, your build.prop is containing any such line which makes it recognise as Xperia U.
plz check your build.prop's device related values.

if you wanted a bodged fix you could go in to device manager on your computer and uninstall it as a xperia u (and delete driver when it pops up or it will just keep reinstalling as xperia u) and download sola drivers and point it towards that folder and it will install it as a sola.
