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.

It released long time back. But you may lose root if you update.

To flash stock rom you have to use flashtool for xperia, search for it on the forum, you will find it.

My xperia tipo smartphone won't boot up . I think this has to do with the build.prop file which is in the system directory. In an attempt to make my phone run Modern Combat 2, I downloaded a custom build.prop file from here and replaced it with the original one (I made a backup first in the sd card directory). Then I tried to reboot my phone, but now it won't boot . It only shows me the sony logo and stays there. Even after waiting an hour, still nothing. I've tried many ways to boot my xperia tipo in recovery mode, like holding down power button and Vol Up, or by pressing the screen repeatendly after the sony logo appears and MANY MORE, but no luck. I'M SO PISSED WITH MYSELF! Can anyone help?
You could maybe try to install the stock rom over it. Flashtool + *.tft rom.

THIS THREAD IS SO OLD! I WAS A NEWBIE AT ANDROID PHONES BACK THEN. NOW PRO
When you flash recovery with recoverx, you can't boot up into recovery when in stock kernel. So flash a kernel (i use vegeance) through flashtool, and when u boot up your phone, when the led light turns pink, press vol up/down a few times.
There you go!

Um, have you tried holding up the volume button and plugging in ur phone to the pc? If you do it correctly, a blue light will appear at the top right of the phone. Then download the desired firmware, and flash it using flashtool. If you have problems ask me, I'll be happy to help

If you have an xperia smartphone, you can go on "phone" and type *#*#7378423#*#*. A service menu will come up if you typed it right. Then go to "service info" > "customization" and then search for "bootloader unlock allowed". If that says yes, you can unlock it. If it says no or it doesn't exist, then you can't do it.
Hi all,
just bought HTC Butterfly X920D 3 days ago from a guy. I realise he has root this device bcos I cannot do OTA update. System check download the update but failed to install. After that I search for a fix n found CWM & Rom manager. I flashed recovery & try to apply the update manually buy CWM says E:Cant mount sdcard, can access cache, blocking device required. Then I look for another fix and arrived here. After all that mess, I tried to factory reset the device via setting in phone is but after resetting n restarts, my HTC is entering recovery again and I opted from the menu selected "boot systems now". It booted andall the contents is still there!
Looks like the reset function isn't working anymore. Any suggestions on what I shud do?
Thx on advance. Cheers
you have to install the original recovery before applying the OTA.
I have it here

I thought after return the phone to standard unroot & factory reset it will be able to receive update. No luck here.. any advise?
Waste MYR60 for this. That's about 20usd. Demmm

ok listen...can you flash stock.ftf rom to your tipo? just download flashtool (google it) and find stock.ftf from general section...one other way is to flash vergeance kernel with flashtool, enter cwm and flash a rom from android development (or cm10 from original android development) if you dont understand something tell me....
P.S. after you flashed stock rom or vergeance kernel turn on your phone and put charger to see if it charging

it seems that you have wrong header.sin or you didn't enter the flashmode properly. make sure you get notice 'the device is plugged with flashmode' or something like that when you plug in the usb to your pc. to fix the header.sin issue you'll need the correct one. you can find it on the same thread where you got your tft.

i think that ico98 dont know how to fix header.sin and its better to flash a kernel from fastboot...its more easy...do you agree?
Sent from my Xperia Tipo using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure about that. he didn't give any specific info about how messed up his system is. if he install any stock ICS based rom (without any custom kernel) his problem mostly could be fixed by reflashing the rom and wipe the data. flashing a kernel won't fix this issue. aside from that scenario, there are several more scenario i.e:
1 he could have install a JB based rom then he install a ICS rom, completely dead. need to flash complete tft or reflash JB rom and wipe data.
2 ICS rom with custom ICS kernel. can be fixed by flash a stock kernel
3 etc etc...there are a lot of scenario
my main point is that flashing a kernel doesn't always fix anything. in most cases, I only suggest that step for more advanced user. without enough data about the system condition flashing a complete tft will be a general and always working method.
anyway, before we do any 'flash' thing, IMO wipe data might be a good choice. most new member forget about that important step and ended up with a bricked device.
ok then...i said to flash kernel and to choose a custom rom (gimlo, paradox etc) but if ico98 download again ftf file will he have this problem again? (header.sin)
P.S. sometimes i forgot to wipe system and data when i am to cm10 and i want to go back to ics and the only problem i have is some apps to force close....no brick only fc
P.S.2 i installed kernels from xperia mini pro and insecure kernel E dual and my phone didnt brick, just not boot...maybe my phone has immunity at brick ahahahahahahaha

and It seems this is a really good thing to go for incase I mess up with the system files
So the questions are
1) How do I install this?
2) What will I need, and will it work on a partially rooted phone? (doesn't have full root access)
3) Incase I mess up with the system files will I be able to recover my rom?

Nandroid is a feature only available in Custom recoveries like clockworkmod. In order to install custom recovery, you will have to unlock your bootloader. Then, you have to use flashtool to flash Vengence Kernel via fastboot mode. This kernel comes with a custom recovery. To boot into your recovery once you installed the kernel, press volume down at the Sony logo when the led light comes on.

Really !
I mean a rom which does not have a trace of a recovery can wipe your recovery partiton to wipe away the CWM recovery.
I am telling you ,this rom if from the real world and not the SUPERNATURAL world.
For logcat search google.
If you wanna try something new then you can try the lollipop systemUI i just posted.
I have tested it in my device.
