Want to save current language? Use pc companion > repair my phone. Then you can make it into .ftf and root it then.

Hey buddy guess you are a beginner...
Rooting your phone does not delete anything if the method used for rooting is safe.so nothing will change after rooting.
But from then on you can do anything with system files..
So unless you delete them,nothing will be lost...
And accidentally if u mess up,u can use repair option in pc companion to fix your phone( if you are planning to use simple root tools.and not unlocking bootloader)
Ps: after rooting you will have a temptation to edit system.files

Well.. i am afraid to root my Xperia J.. What if i do something wrong? what will happen? Will i be able to fix it?

Don't panic that much....as a matter of fact I too did first time..
Just try some one click root tool
They are safer
Try unlock root or srs root..they are pretty much fast and easy..
Since you are a first timer don't think about unlocking bootloader and flashing super user
Hit the thanks button..it does not cost you anything.
it's worth something for me...

You want control and still want to play safe? Do not unlock bootloader, just use roms for locked bootloader. If anything happened, just use pc companion > repair anytime you want.

[Q] (Q) Tipo is dead?

Hey, it's my first post so hi
I write this because my little Tipo probably goes to Phone Heaven. Flashmode and fastboot mode didn't work. I have LED but flashtool didn't detect those modes. When i try power on Tipo, i have Sony logo and... that's it. Should i do anything with him? I know, i've hard bricked the phone (maybe super hard bricked) and it's my fault, but is there any way to unbrick him?

You can still see Sony logo? Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not, pc companion - repair should work. Sometimes its just cables issues.

Yup, only Sony logo. Bootloader is unlocked. Repair through PC Companion didn't work. Generaly - my PC doesn't detect phone.

Install proper sony drivers. Or universal adb drivers.

I think it can still live. Try reinstall drivers or use another usb port or another cable.

I tried to be more specific since i started the thread, sorry if i couldn't provide enough info for you my friend i will try to be more detailed for you now if i can.
So my friend has this phone, Miro, she doesn't know much from technology and stuff so i told her to help her out, and i want to get some help from previous owners or anyone that could possibly help me,
So i open the phone from the button, normally, it boots normally, and while on the pin screen, the touch screen doesn't work/respond, and it restarts itself in a loop going in the same position again and again, my idea was to update it, maybe it would work that way, today i will get the phone and try to sort the problem out, i downloaded Sony PC Companion on my pc, but i don't know if this is enough, that's why i need you now, maybe you can suggest me some other kind of solution..
Thanks for responding kreatonn

Sent it to Sony service like lozohcum post might help. The phone is still in warranty?? If still, then it's good.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM MYSELF! and NO i never take my phone to support because it takes too long and it just comes back unsolved or replaced without actually fixing the problem
So after searching for many minutes of my life through sites and articles, i came up with one about recovering bricked phones, well i wasn't able to use Sony PC Companion because it wouldn't detect it. Or it would but it would restart itself and lose the connection in seconds...
The solution is to FLASH the original firmware with Flashtool
So to solve the mystery
1. Download the original firmware from the xperia collection: HERE
2. Download Flashtool
After all of this history, be sure to get all the drivers needed for the phone you have, if you have windows 7 it will download them automatically if you run and try to flash it since it detects and downloads them with windows update, or else you have to get drivers for your miro and install also the drivers that flashtool needs you to install (it has a folder drivers on it's installation directory)
So when you install Flashtool, Open Flashtool, and Turn off your phone (Remove the battery, and put it back after a few seconds), Do not turn on your phone, just put it on the USB port with the cable.
On Flashtool
1. Put the downloaded firmware into the installation directory of Flashtool, inside the folder, "Firmwares"
2. Open Flashtool (or 64bit version if your windows is 64bit)
3. Press the Thunder, and choose Flashmode
4. On the window that appears, choose MIRO's FIRMWARE and hit OK
Now it has this screen where it waits for you to do something with the usb. It's easy
5. While your phone is turned OFF completely and is probably charging on the USB, Press the VOLUME DOWN button and turn on your phone, the LED will turn GREEN or BLUE i think.
6. The program automatically detects the phone and starts flashing the original firmware
So after that i waited like 2 mins to complete the flashing on Flashtool, and 5 minutes to open the mobile (first time is always slow)
and it would respond, the touch screen and everything.
Thanks for your responses!

Xperia j problem

Hello
I really dont know if this is the right place or there is allready theme like this but i really need your help.
I root my device and it work for few days everything was OK and then i install CWM, after that i turn of my device and now when i try to power it up i just get SONY screen and it shut itself down... does anyone know is it possible to fix it?
Thanks in advance....

As the SXJ Jelly bean version doesnt support permenant CWM so you hav to flash back ur stock KERNEL
Just flash ur kernel in fastboot using flashtool and it will be fine as before! Best luck
If you dont hav the kernel file ask google
Google is ur best friend!
