[Q] Not going to Flashmode - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi guys.
My ST18i is not going to Flashmode.
I recently had the problem that my Ray wasn't detecting USB but then I gave it to Service and they flashed stock GB.
I can get to fastboot only by adb and not by buttons. Flashmode has no adb command so I can't get in.
Bootloader is unlocked. My volume keys are not faulty since they work in Android.
Since I am already posting here. I have to tell you after getting my phone from service, front camera is entirely black and cannot take photos.
Please help!
EDIT: Get "FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)" when flashing kernel.

Well this means boatloader is locked... They must have re locked it when you gave it to them...

Hi..
Yeah I did that.
Now the only matter is it still doesn't go to flashmode.
And also the front cam is still not working

Well then unlock your bootloader again and then flash kernel.
About the front cam try to repair your phone via pc companinon, if didn't help then you must take it back to the service center..
Hope it helps, if yes then hit thanks button :good: :angel:

The best work is that you flashed sony's Rom and again root your phone

[Help]Camera not available

My Xperia Neo V is rooted.
I tried unlocking the bootloader...not sure if it is unlocked or not.(How can i check that).
After (say) 1 week , i opened up my camera and it said "Camera not available".
Even 3D Sweep Panorama ain't working.
I tried clearing up the defaults in settings>applications>manage>com.***********.camera .. gave no result.
Help.
And another thing , i also tried to flash a ROM which is working in Xperia Neo.(Don't remember but i guess it's CM7)
I think , the problem occurred because the camera resolution of Neo and Neo V is different or also the firmware is different.I didn't knew that this would cause such a problem.
Did a Factory Data Reset , still no help.
Suggestions .. ?
Emergency.. it's been only a month i got my Neo V.
Flash it with neo v rom.
Or relock bootloader and update with seus or pc companion.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium
Could'nt find a Neo V Rom.
Already Updated with SE PC Companion (2.3.4 - The latest build)
Also tried repairing it with SE PC Companion but it says "Server Overloaded" *blah blah blah*.
And is it possible to relock bootloader even if i unlocked it via unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com...i meant to say officially?
If you unlocket BT you cant recive updates and cant use companion (wont work).
Also you cant flash custom rom without have unlocked bt.
If you unlock it over that site you cant relock it. I don't know what you had do.

Task killer?
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
as stated above try using any other camera applications available in the market.....
if they work then it is just a minor software glitch(we can think atleast camera libraries are available)
try any of these https://market.android.com/search?q=camera&so=1&c=apps
install the apk mentioned in this thread and you can see if your bootloader is locked or unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840466
Will try the task killer.
I tried using camera360 but it says...turn on hardware mode then try or it just gives another option to close the app.
I relocked my bootloader via rtf file.
(unlocked it through Sony's site)

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. .

i have the same problem.
only fix is: use kernel from 6.1.B.0.550 rom.
then you will have it.
NOTE to devs (including me): use ramdisk from 6.1.B.0.550!

My SE Xperia NEO V runs on GB 2.3..
And started to make probs suddenly, such as "Google play stopped unexpectedly" and "Google account stopped"
besides almost all services made the same error and became almost unusable.
I flashed it by flashtool latest version to GB .62 and then to .42
it worked well for 1 day then made the same errors!
I flashed JB with flashtool as well but also works for one day then everything collapse!
All that ended by that my neo v kept restarting and stucks every time on sony xperia screen the restart again.
I tried to flash again GB or JB but this time makes an error on 99% and dont continue and shows a yellow alarm triangle screen on the fone!!
that happen everytime i flash and nothing works.
I tried:
- flashtool
- sony PC companion
- SEUS
- emma "from sony"
NONE of them helped
My NEO V is unrooted & the bootloader is locked.
Please help me

You don't need the phone on. Just remove the battery and the IMEI is the 15 digit number next to the S/N code. This number comes with dash, you have to take them out.
