[Q] Unlocking bootloader with a Mac...
thanks for the post. ive been reading hundreds of pages here in preparation to root my phone (XPERIA E/c1504.) i know that unlocking the bootloader is step one, so your guide is pretty helpful, but i'm on a mac! does this change any part of the process?
3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.
i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?
7)- go here SONYMOBILE .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?
thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!
The latest Flashtool (v0.9.11.0) has "BLU" menu to make Lock/Unlock bootloader more easier.
the simple step :
1. Set up Flashtool to be ready for your device.
2. Refer to the SONY link provided in OP, and get your bootloader key
3. Connect your phone to Flashtool.
4. Click the "BLU" and follow the step.
hope that work for Xperia E,.

here you go for adb for mac - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

okay your next question is quite good. first when I unlocked my bootloader and faced bootloop. I got my phone a Sony service centre. the guy there took my phone on warranty and tried to reinstall software through sus (works only on locked bootloader). then when he was unsuccessful he told me software modified and I got my phone back
so I don't think you will have any issue with warranty.
you can get any Xperia phone's bootloader key in your inbox just by knowing its imei.
so no issues at all.
P.S : rooting can also be done on a locked Xperia e

Before trying backup ta cuz if it brick you can restore from backup or brick ta mean hard brick device that only sony can fix.
This trick worked on Xperia e1 so maby work on E3 also.
Does this method works on Xperia E3 D2206/D2243??
Does this method work with Xperia E3 D2206/D2243 ?? @vinay What do you think?
I am telling this because around a half month ago, I get rooted in my phone (D2206 model) using D2203 boot img file. Thanks for all
@lexiyuri I believe you can flash lollypop aosp and use this method to root it.
I wanna tell you that D2212 root method work on d2202 cause it supports it's kernel. Now sony released 4.4.4 on d2202 and I,ve flashed d2202 FTF on my D2212 and it is working like charm.
And an FTF contains
Boot
System
Fotakernel
Userdata
And may more.
But aosp only contains userdata.img system.img boot.img and I bet it will work.
Cause in FTF we need all partition,s compatible but in aosp just 3 and if you see cycle of phone boot you only need one compatible and it is boot which is already compatible.

D2203 - connected in fastboot mode -
Hi, I've tried this 6 times and each time I execute command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' - command says waiting for device and then after 30 seconds, my phone boots up as normal - nothing happens.
Is there anyone here who knows what the problem might be?
Thanks

OK, done it, can't explain why this time it worked and I have Lollipop and I'm rooted.
Thanks Vinay.

After flashing the second image to get root, yes you have root, but no CWM recovery anymore . . . . . . . . .
So you can't flash the google apps zip to your phone.

Camera Issues
I don't know if this tread is still active.
But ive followed the tutorial all the way through and really impresses with how straightforward it was.
However I cant see a camera app and when I install one (lets say google camera) it says "camera has stopped working!"
Any advice?

Sent From My Sony Xperia E3 dual using XDA app.
I tried my hands in android system first i start with rooting with kingroot pc app where i just need to plug my usb and click on start root in pc app, that's how i rooted my Sony Xperia S
then i unlock bootloader by sony official website Unlock your boot loader
After unlocking bootloader i tried to install latest sony walkman album and camera app which is modified for for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with normal apk install but all failed
i saw somewhere that i need to install these app in recovery mode so i installed CWN app from playstore and it wasn't working well in my phone so i was just playing around and i clicked on reboot option
after sony logo phone stuck on boop animation for hours its same nothing change then i google lil how to come out of it then use fastboot command to install CWN first then TWRP recovery tool (fastboot flash boot recovery.img) it successfully installed since then whenever i turned my phone on i come to TWRP
In TWRP i tried factory reset,clear cache and also tried to do adb sideload but it failed but i didnt clear my internal memory and android OS
when i connect my phone with usb in windows XP while starting adb sideload it prompt me for driver but even after download driver from XDA and official Sony website both does not work with it and its end up with driver cannot installed. i can't even put any file in my phone so whatever i have to do is with pc only
In doing all this for 2 3 days my phone was on fastboot (blue light) then suddenly notification light turned into red light then i thought it can be stand by mode i tired to press power button ,vol button, combination buttons and also tired to charge with usb but no luck then i took out battery and charge it separately then put it back now its working as before (recovery mode )
So i stuck in TWRP recovery everytime i boot and i only have 2 option (that what i think )
do something with fastboot cuz adb is not detecting devices at all and TWRP
so guys please help me to boot into my android OS I dont want to install any other os i want to run my old os and please tell me for next time how to run os and recovery mode as i want without stuck anywhere
Still no answer
Please super experts i need your help please help me guys
SOLVED
as i said i only can turn my phone in fastboot mode so i download stock rom for xperia s and rename ftf into zip then unzip in new folder then i took out only kernel file then in fastboot
i typed
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot reboot
then i successfully back to my old OS but it was not complete as i want so i relock bootloader by flashtool then run an update from sony pc companion right now i m installing back all the apps
After experiencing help from the fantastic meizu community i have decided to make a guide for unbricking this device. This guide is aimed to help people with M3 or M3s that cannot boot. Please only follow these steps to unbrick your device
I am not responsible for bricked devices and exploding phones due to following these steps.
By following these steps you agree that it is you, yourself that chose to follow these steps and I will not take any responsibility for your loss.

Any display? or just black?
What rom did you install? If official you might be able to get a replacement through warranty.
Try SP Flash Tools, instruction in the first post. Chances are low but test if it detects after pressing download.

i used DA_PL.BIN and got the same error, maybe bootloader is locked thats why this error?
The error shows when your device started before the software can flash anything. SP flash tools works with locked bootloader, maybe your preloader is 100% dead

No recovery, Fastboot mode is working. What should I do with this error?
Is there a way to work on me with meizu m3 max
Hi,
SPFlashtools fails to connect dead bricked Meizu M3S
Connecting to USB system recognizes as
MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM7)
But other ports including Preloader are not
Do I have any hope to recover phone?
After following these steps, one by one, no matter if all went OK, my phone (m3s) won’t boot and it seems it is completely dead now. It can’t turn on. Power button looks unresponsive. What should I do? Is there any help?
many thanks for this guide @bluecub1st . The problem I have with my M3s is that it boots perfectly fine and works well, i just cannot enter recovery by using Volume + and power, and flashing a new firmware from inside Flyme OS just reboots the phone. I can enter fastboot though no problem, but i tried to do the SP Flash tool method listed and I just get this error message:
ERROR : S_TIMEOUT (0x412)
Any ideas how to fix this and get my recovery back? Really need some help so i can flash flyme 6...
i got error from sp_flashtool
ERROR : STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0X0020004)
help me please sir
