Hi. I am new on this forum so i do not know if i have posted right. I have a problem with my Xperia X10i. My android version is 2.1 update1 and i want to get the 2.3.3 version. A lot of my friends have the same phone and 2.3.3 version.I haven't got it from PcCompanion.(PcCompanion is up to date)
1. There is any way to make the version for my phone arrive faster?
2. My phone has assurance so i do not want to losse it. Can i use FlashTool to put the 2.3.3 version on my phone and still have the assurance?
3. If everything it is ok with point 2 the version will work as same as my friend does?
4. Can you give me a good tutorial if i can keep the assurance?
5.Thank you for help.
Sorry for my bad english
1. There is any way to make the version for my phone arrive faster?
your phone is never faster
2. My phone has assurance so i do not want to losse it. Can i use FlashTool to put the 2.3.3 version on my phone and still have the assurance?
flashtool is not installing you the 2.3.3 version
3. If everything it is ok with point 2 the version will work as same as my friend does?
4. Can you give me a good tutorial if i can keep the assurance?
flashtool is ok... rooting phone and install recovery.

Hi I'm having trouble with my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) which I rooted.
I'm pretty good with computers and work in IT, but this is beyond me, so sorry for being a noob. I didn't fully understand rooting, but went ahead and did it, successfully.
Then an update came along (4.0.2.A.0.58) and I was stuck with a constant notification about it. I attempted to "unroot" my phone, this didn't do much, so I used the same software to root it again. Now the data connection won't work at all, and no symbol appears on the notification bar (2G/3G etc).
So I'm stuck with a phone I can't update and has no data connection!
Ideally I'd like to get it back to "stock" ROM? Firmware? not sure what the correct terminology is. Then I can install the Official Update as normal.
Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro
Model: SK17i (UK model)
Android Version out of box: 2.3.3
Android Version now: 2.3.3
Baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302204-36
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.0.A.2.368
I've tried using SE Update Service, says "modified software can't be updated" and the repair function is the same
I've tried to follow guides, but nothing works or they aren't phone specific
I've reset the phone to factory settings, it didn't correct the data problem
Please help, I don't need a guide to rooting, just some simple instructions on how reverse my actions.
Thanks!
Try to wipe your phone it should help but you loose all your data !
Thanks, but how do I wipe the phone?
I've already lost all the data when I reset it to factory settings. To make matters worse, I can't restore my "contacts" because it requires data connection with Orange UK.
Oh you have wiped already wipe = factory reset i read over that.
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ use this software to flash the old stock rom
using flashtool and this rom https: //rapidshare.c om/files/2345646...1251-0103_.ftf (remove spaces) i managed to get it on 2.3.4 with data working!! so thanks!
one small problem, that rom isn't set up correctly for the keyboard (not sure if being in the UK makes a difference) so trying to "repair" software now with SEUS
if anyone can locate 2.3.4 UK xperia mini pro firmware please let me know!

1) You cannot flash CM10.1 on your device, only CM10. We will NOT get an official port of the ROM from the FXP team.
2) I do not know, once it is unlocked to any network you shouldn't have a lock put in place again. However I am unsure of this.
3) You shouldn't lose any language support on your device as many language packs are installed with the base of the ROM as most are built from stock firmware upwards.
I would give more detailed instructions but I need to go within the next 5 mins so I can't. I will edit my post tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.
Hello. My xperia m2 says that there are no updates and the phone is up to date but it's with android 4.4.2. Theres 1 secound delay in the sound when I play games or use downloaded apps like youtube also the audio doesn't sound very good. To fix that I need to update the android version but I cant. I connected the phone to my computer and updated it with sony PC companion but the version is still 4.4.2. What should I do? I don't want to use flashtools or anything. I think it's the phone's fault for that and I should give it back to the place where I bought it so they can fix that. The phone is brand new and they already changed my camera because it wasn't working. So what should I do?
I suppose it has to do with the Country of your phone and/or if it is branded. IF after using PC Companion it's still with 4.4.2 I'm afraid your best (and only) option is to use Flashtool. Not sure how it works if it is branded though, you may need to to something to be able to de-brand it.
Well, actually try first to check if 4.4.4 is available in this way:
- Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*)
- Check the number in Service Info/SW Info/Customization version. You just need the xxxx-yyyy part
- Downdload and install Flashtool (it's small. You just need it for checking)
- Run Flashtool
- Go to Devices/Check Updates
- Select your phone double clicking on the id xxxx-yyyy you have got before.
- If the version is 18.3.C (like the one for 3 UK) there is no 4.4.4. the latest ROM is 4.4.2. It must be 18.3.1.C for 4.4.4
My is branded from T-mobile, and i flashed CE ftf to debrande, everything is good except i don't have extra apps that T-mobile puts in. As i know your safe flashing ftf cos it's official Sony's software, just using Flashtool instead of PC Companion and you won't lose warranty, as long as you don't unlock bootloader.
Good Luck.
Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
Do I install the flashtool on my computer or on my phone?

Obviously on the computer. It's needed to flash the phones from it. Just google it, you find it immediately. Then if you decide to flash a generic 4.4.4 FTF just search around. There are dozens of guides in the Internet.
Alright thanks for your support guys
Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!
Hi xda developers, I'm a new z3 user (D6633) running lollipop 5.1.1 , and I want to root my z3 to use titanium Backup,
1) I'm afraid that if I root my z3, I won't be able to update to marshmallow when it arrives, I also read somewhere that I still can update but will lose drm (I don't know what that is )
2) is there a way to unroot, to install the official update ?
Please explain in details and provide links if you could, cus I'm totally new on Sony
Any advice is appreciated
Im sure there will be a pre-rooted stock ROM for dl as soon after M. hits. Depends if one need to flash other things as well like firmware etc. but these things are included in the same FTF. I have gone through a few Android versions and things usually works out fine in a short matter of time.
If you absolutely want to go full stock, just flash a stock FTF from http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061
Using Flashtool.
