[Q] Installing factory ROMs? - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Hello,
I own a Tipo, which has 11.0.A.0.16 ROM in it. Recently, it started to offer 11.0.A.4.22, which has to be installed via PC Companion.
My questions are:
Do I lose data, applications, settings if I upgrade the ROM via PC Companion?
If Yes, is it possible to backup the data, aplications, settings, upgrade the ROM, then restore everything?
If Yes, how?
I do not want to root my phone, I am happy with it unrooted.
Thank you in advance.

1. it has been answered already that the guy in question did not lose his data.
2. you're wrong here, if you UPGRADE via pc companion, you do not lose anything
if you use the 'repair my phone' service, you WILL lose stuff.

[Q] Phone locked after too many attempts.. PLEASE HELP!

My friends were trying to unlock my phone but after too many unsuccessful attempts it locked my phone and requested that I enter my gmail and password. But it's quite impossible because:
Wifi & Mobile Data are both turned off so I can't sign in at all, rendering my phone useless.
I tried going to cwm recovery and flashing the rom again but it doesn't work. Any suggestions on unlocking the phone? I don't want to factory reset my phone Thank you for your replies!
flash a different rom
Use search button, there is already few threads regarding this issue.
Preform a nandroid then wipe data. You'll need to restore all your apps though

Do this. Then install titanium backup and it can extract data from a Nandroid backup. So you don't lose anything.
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
Thank you! I forgot I had a nandroid backup.. but that definitely worked!

[Q] Wipe data and cache

I am getting desparate with my phone state SGS3, as funny things are happening like it suddenly goes crazy and opens apps after apps etc... Also applications that can not be traced, I am currently on 4.1.2 XXELL4 version, and I got advised to wipe data partition and cache, which as I understand it quite risky process of losing what I have, so do PLEASE inform is there a safe way, like you guys develop programs for us amateurs to do it automatically and safely, regaining our previous phone state?
My intention is to really get rid of junks I have on my phone and get a nice new obedient one I had before?
Thank you
You should make a backup of all apps and contacts ( for contacts you can sync with google) and then go into recovery mode and do wipe data factory reset and wipe cache partition. Finally do reboot system now and then reinstall the app backup and restore contacts.
I hope i help you and i wait for your news.
Hoping you have a recovery mode called cwm, and are aware of it,
You can wipe cache and data
It would get your phone back in state as if it were out of the manufacturer's factory!
All apps you've installed would be wiped out

Thank you so much for your reply, actually I do have CWM on my phone but when I run it is says it should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer and that I am running different recovery and various features has been disabled, so I did not follow your advise yet, can you guide me in this matter also? the one I hace is CWM manger v3.60.
Further to that contacts I have backup but for the rest of my programs will Titanium Backup (not pro version) do for me to call back and restore all of it?
Waiting for you reply impatienly and thank you once more for your kindness
Still need HELP!!!

Also I tried to download the lates version of CWM from this site but it is ttf format and I was not able to install it. As I mentioned I wanted to install on the existing one, as when I unistall a program from my phone and try to install another one it says old version exists and does not install it.
Once more thank you and wishing you a very Merry Xmas and great New Year
More help

Can you Please also consider my other questions and guide me accordingly, thank you and wishing you great New Year!
Use a higher version of cwm...I'm sure it would be floating around in xda
Also just do a factory reset from settings or flash a new rom that should solve the issue
And Use TB Pro ..(just a suggestion) much more useful and worth the price...That can restore app's data and app alone as you wish...

Finally upgraded to 30a but....

Hi Guys
an easy question for you all,yesterday I finally upgraded my phone from GB to ICS =30A ROM.
Everything work fine , but should I have to reset from settings all old data and re-install everything? or should I leave as it is now? cause I seen a video were a guy after upgraded to ICS he has reset his phone......so Im a bit confused....
Please advise
Thanks a million!!!

No man, if it doesn't ask you to do the factory reset than don't do it.
It recommended but why make more work to backup and restore all of your data?
If you updated via Mobile Support Tool than all of your data and apps should be there so just continue using your phone and enjoy...

you will not lose your data..
i have done that and didn't lose my data..
if you come from 4.1.2 and update to 4.2.2 via odin
and if you don't wipe, your phone faces many bugs and crashes.
It it generally advised to start from scratch with a new rom, ie. wipe data + cache.
Having said that though, I just upgraded myself, from 4.1.2 Italian to 4.2.2 German, without wiping anything. I had some apps, mostly games, that would crash, but a re-install + restore of data solved the problem.
So it is doable, but it requires some manual fiddling afterwards.
In any case, backup everything before you upgrade.

[Q] Google now and Chrome not working

My sister has some problems with her Xperia L. Always if she wants to open Google Now it fc. Same with Google chrome. There was a softwareupdate on the 16th january and she wanted to update with PC companion but it failed. Now she tried it again but problem persists. We tried clear cache and data, of course restarting but nothing worked. Firefox is working fine but chrome and Google now she likes better. Any idea?
Bootloader is locked and phone is not rooted.
Try flashing via Flashtool. Your data will be lost.

When flashing the newest .ftf I won't lose the data. I know one could repair with FlashTool. Then one would lose all data. But is there maybe a possibility without loss or data, that was the reason for asking here.
u can try flashing with flashtool........just uncheck wipe data options during flashing with flashtool....hope this helps...
Ok thank you I will tell her.

Is this safe?
With your post do you mean flashing the newest firmware or repair with FlashTool? (Actually I meant repair with PC Companion, because her phone's bootloader is locked.) flashing the .ftf file of a firmware (if the specific device) itself is safe. I always did that if I had problems with my Xperia SP. And repairing deletes everything so both methods are if your phone doesn't function right and they can help for example if a phone is soft bricked
