I am just about to download the world firmware(i guess it makes no diff, just languages)and want to ask, how do I flash it to the tipo?what should i do after (if it flashes)?
Dont worry... the firmware will work just fine... tested it myself. Just use flashtool(google it out) to flash the ftf of your ftf to the phone. Root it using binary method and follow the procedure descrobed in other thread to get root on the latest firmware. Tried ot amd now i am rooted with ocz version of 11. 0. a. 4. 22

Does downgrading with flashtool work with locked bootloader? Please can you confirm that? What does "ocz version mean"?

Yes it does, you only need an unlocked bootloader if the ROM you're gonna use is using a different kernel than your stock firmware.
Ocz is jst the version of latest firmware available here...

Can anyone tell me if I should untick wipe data and wipe cache or keep them on for flashing?
Do not uncheck them.let them get deleted else your phone will keep on rebooting after the flashing is complete
Sent from my ST21i using xda premium
Forgot to mention one important thing.you have to check wipe data and wipe cache options obly while downgrading to older firmware.after pushng in the root files just upgrade tocthe latest firmware and make sure not to check wipe data this time.

Thanks, can you link the guide on which files to insert, and how should I update to latest fw?
And one more thing: MSC or MTP mode while flashing?
Vibrator seems to stopped working, vibrate on touch doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't even vibrate in service menu on vibrator.
Also when I lock my screen I can't come out of it again, help?
EDIT:It seems the phone stopped working with vibrate/lock as soon as i put the perm root files on it from the miro thread, which apparently works for every phone.I will stay at .16 as I don't need an sms counter.Thanks for your trouble people.
i had the same problem, i downgraded the firmware, root it, than flash it with the latest firmware and the root dont work now it says there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it ,this is a problem?? what should i do
yup

same issue as cipjanin. i downgraded to 11.0.A.0.16 (checked wipe cache and data) and rooted perfectly. reflashed to 11.0.A.4.22 and unchecked "wipe data" and "wipe cache" but root is lost.
balboarocky, did you do the exact same steps as we did?
while downgrading try uncheck wipe and cache and after root it, upgrade via SUS not fabric restore+ upgrade, just upgrade (keep user data)..

Root and CWM for Xperia J Finally!
Thanks to srl3gx and Bin4ry for their awsome work!
and ME for taking risk!
Make sure u are in 11.0.A.3.28 or 11.0.A.3.18 firmware ALONE with Locked Bootloader..
This method Dosent Work on 11.0.A.7.5 Firmware! (working on it! )
for .28 firmware download from here and flash it
if u dont have a flash tool download it from here for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)
since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that
1.download and extract d ST26.zip ive uploaded
2.open flash tool
3.click devices>import
4.navigate to d file u've extracted
5.now xperia j driver is installed
u can now flash without problems
Now back to rooting...
Root first! thn apply CWM!
Steps for Rooting:
1.extract Root_J.zip
2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings
3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users
4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)
Steps for CWM:
1.extract CWM_J.zip
2.'usb debugging' on
3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)
4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..
Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM!
You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!
reboot to system and see if supersu is installed finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!
CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..
use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.
Comment if it worked for you...let others know!
Tested on my xperia J and Miro
Dont restore factory setting or else CWM will vanish...n u hav to reflash whole firmware again
for questions and problems ask srl3gx
HOPE I HELPED...hit thanks
Sorry for the last update! It Dindn't Work for many devices!
wow finally it arrived.
Anyone tried this already?

Followed your instructions on my Experia J. I have build 11.0.A.3.18 (UK on orange/EE). I decided against flashing to 3.28 and to try with 3.18, but to get the Flashtool working I did the following:
Once the ST26.zip file is extracted (using Winrar) I then have to open this extracted file again in WinRar to get the files that should live at C:\Flashtool\devices\ST26 (loader.sin etc.). I then had to copy the original file ST26.ftd to c:\Flashtool\devices. I enabled USB debugging in the Developer settings on the phone and Flashtool started working properly.
I was able to root and CWM the device as per your instructions on buiild 11.0.A.3.18. Cheers.
The major problem with this CWM method is that it's designed for the Tipo, so when you try to flash a zip made for jlo, it fails. I had to remove the assert from the top of the scrip to flash with this.
Thanks for trying on .18 firmware... I'll update d thread

Have you tried flashing a compiled ROM? It fails as the CWM thinks it's on a Tipo device.
Plus if you wipe your system partition, you lose CWM, it's not a good solution. I've posted a CWM as a boot.img in my CM10 thread

OK, plus this will work for people who cannot unlock their bootloader. But perhaps you should put a warning as some people may want to wipe their system partition before they restore a backup (which will work) but if they for what ever reason try to reboot the phone they will be lost and will have to restore via flashtool!
thanks for report...updatd

Any help?
Yea im the same 11.0.A.7.5 cant you flash the phone with older firmware?
Okay i flashed that firmware from first page and now my phone is rooted thanks alot
If we can get ftf file of 11.0.A.7.5 firmware and flash it with Flashtool without wiping data (just wiping cache) maybe we don't loose root... but where can we found that ftf file???
I just rooted my Samsung GT-S5830i
I installed clockwork recover and made a backup too
I would like to install a custom ROM on my phone.. what are the necessary steps to follow before doing so ?
First, make a backup of you current rom. Then I would just go a head and follow whatever directions are supplied for the rom you want (some roms require special work). If no instructions are presented, do a wipe (factory reset or whatever) through cwmr, wipe the dalvik cache (under advanced), and install your rom!
Good luck I'll gladly answer any questions/problems you have.

It wasn't that.The only thing you must do before installing it is to root your phone, after that you just follow the custom rom's specific installing instructions.

I installed recovery again, I found the toggle signature verification option, could you tell me how toggling signature verification makes a difference?
By toggling signature verification, verification of digital sign of your zip file is skipped. Thus allowing to use/ flash ROMS( most of them are unsigned)
Did that work??

The last couple of times I experienced this
The last couple of times that I got stuck in a bootloop, what fixed it was a re-wipe of data, cache and dalvik after the installation of the ROM. Don't know if that helps at all but hope that it does. That could be ROM specific, but it might be worth a shot (easier than restoring to stock again).
Examples of where developers have suggested wiping cache/dalvik after flashing the ROM

Can't find where I saw the wipe data section, it was somewhere.
Also, I use SMS backup, which syncs SMS's with gmail, so you can back those up and restore should you change again. Available in the play store.
Hello Guys. Today i wanted to install Walkman Player for my tipo. My friend sent me some APKs. I install CWM to my Tipo and installed those APKs using CWM. But when i rebooted the device, the ICS was changed. This ICS looked like the ICS of XPERIA U and all(Updates Ones). I tried to Factory reset but it didnt work. I had done backup using TITANIUM. Even restoring it, i couldnt get back my Tipo ICS. Is there any way to Completely Reset back again it was normal?
Guys please somebody REPLY! The phone looks very ugly. Is there some way that i can get back my original ROM? Please do tell me what other choice do i have? This is how its looking.
Download flashtool and ftf, flash it to stock and learn to use 'search' .
This advice is given in almost all unbrick threads , to restore to stock.

Wiping app data from Applications menu also helps, if you have problems after updating.
As a rule of thumb - if anything Force Closes, wipe it's data, if it persists, wipe all the data using CWM.
use any other keyboard
same thing happened for me once and then i reflashed every thing was fine after that:good:

OK, witch version of firmware did you flash? I had problems with wifi on 15.3.0.26. The newest firmware did fix that problem.
Did you flash some custom kernel? If you have you must enter recovery and flash modules for that kernel.
If nothing of this is a problem try to reflash firmware.
So enter flashtool choose flashmode put check marks on wipe CACHE and DATA, also check No final verification.

Yep, I flashed the 15.3.0.26 firmware, so that was the problem. I flashed the latest firmware and everything works great now! I also flashed a custom kernel for my friend, and now he's really happy!
I had the same problem with my phone some days back
Flashing with Stock Rom helped. But flash with the latest Stock rom
I suggest you flashing 15.3.A.1.14 ftf and keep WIPE DATA and CACHE ticked..
If you are searching the "why" of the bootloop I think that I have you because whose answer is the following: If you try to charge the mobile and it has become part of those soft-bricked devices, I think that this is because you don't have enough charge to boot properly, so, what you have to do is to connect your device in flash mode, waiting for the flashmode more than usually, and then restart you firmware with the properly .ftf that you want.
Luck!
