(Q) Bricked Sony LLW! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:

Not Able to Flash Stock FTF
Hello,
My LWW got bricked while flashing a custom kernel nAs's 3.4. I was in 4.1 JB custom rom. After flashing the kernel my phone wont start. When I pressed the power button it just vibrate and nothing happened after that. I tried to flash the stock ICS and also GB firmware from sony's website however when I tried to flash those firmwares via flashtool. I am getting error that "flashtool cannot read after opening the phone" and flashing is aborted.
I have unlocked bootloader.
Please help.......:crying:

First of all you don't need to try PC Companion as it won't work on an unlocked bootloader!
Have you tried flashing another kernel in fastboot mode?

The Sony PC Companion trick worked. My phone is working fine now. Only thing is it is now in GB 2.3.4 and bootloader is also locked. I have to start again from scratch and root my device to update it to JB

That's strange as PC Companion doesn't work on an unlocked bootloader normally. Did you lock it again or did it just work like that?

Try starting it in Flashmode and re-lock the bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335) so you can restore your phone with SUS or PC Companion
but i just realised i didn't set the debugging mode on
That's not incompatible with connecting the phone in flash mode (I think). Try and tell us the result (extract the battery, put it back, press Back button while you connect the phone to the computer and you have Flashtool opened)

What does debug mode have to do with kernel?
Anw, just flash stock kernel, whether with fastboot.exe or with flashtool.
No need to flash entire firmware.
Now after that, say which kernel are you trying and how are you flashing it on your phone.

First thing coming on my mind is - do you have flashtool so you can flash official ICS for your phone?
If so flash official ICS via Flashtool, that will wipe everything.

Buddy, if your bootloader is unlocked, you dont need to do it again, it will be unlocked again.
Flash global ICS stock, fastboot mujeni's recovery in Sola section and thats it.

Edit: Whoops, it's Xperia U. Go check their development. There's one there somewhere
First get your phone in order, then think about flashing custom roms.
Anyways:
Power + Volume up till you feel 3 vibrations
Then quickly press vol down, shove USB into port.
You should be in flashboot. Flash ftf file via Flashtools.

Okay, flash mode and fastboot mode drivers installed I assume.
Download stco rom FTF, put it in flashtool firmware directory, start flash in flash mode, choose the file you have dowanloaded, wait till flashtool ask you to connect in flash mode, turn the phone off (press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations,) connect the USB cable while holding volume down key.

Yest that flashtool.
There only stock rom FTFs no others, you will have to search your phone android development forum for one.
Open flash tool, turn off your phone, connect to the PC while pressing volume down key, flashtool should display "device connected in flash mode", and it should stay connected for about 45 seconds if no flash is being made.

Just try if you can get flash mode to work without flashing anything as I explained. This is the key for recovery.
You can also create your own FTF.
Start update with PC Companion until it asks you tp connect in flash mode, then quit and build the FTF with flashtool.

hi everyone, i had try to install cyanogenmod 11 by percyg2 but i cant flash it.. it says status error 7.
also i flashed the kernel but when i choose boot with that kernel using fastboot it says that my device must be rooted.. (
BTW. i'm rooted and unlocked bootloader but i dont know why sony pc companion recognize my device as lt22 (xperia)
P.S. i had cyanogenmod by percyg2 time ago, but i dont know what's happening with my device
Is your phone lt22? If it isn't, then I don't know
If it's lt22, the start pc companion select support zone, and repair my phone or somthing similar, this will restore your phone like it just came from factory

no need to "hot" boot(it doesn't work that way now), you need fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot reboot, then on first vibrate you press power button to enter recovery

good that it's finally working now on your phone
i'm switching back and forth with CM11 and Paranoid Android. Personally, I stay longer with PA because of Halo, although the ROM hasn't been updated for awhile now.

You wiped everything and now there is no rom installed so its not going past the sony logo. You have two options.
1. Unlock bootloader if you want to run a custom rom.
2. Flash stock rom to go back to stock.
and how to flash stock rom , you need to have the flashtool , put your phone in donwloadmode ( volumne down + plug in the usb cable ) and then flash the stock rom of sony ( you can find the method on how to do it on google ) its simple and then you decide out of 2 options above from last post
Since your bootloader isn't unlocked your can use Sony Companion Software to repair your phone. When you click update there is a repair option. Select repair and hook up the phone in flashmode. Make sure your ZU is atleast 50% charged.
thanks for replying everyone i tried the flashtool stock rom installation and i got boot loop now i tried two different ftf files but they both result in boot loop what am i doing wrong?

can you flash the stock rom again and copy paste the log here in a code quote like this one:
Code:
write here
And what is your model? C6833 etc..
What stock rom did you download?
Which drivers did you use?
And which version of flashtool did you use?
And lastly what settings did you use when flashing the stock rom? All options included so ALL partitions being flashed. And none excluded.
Screenshots is always good help .
