I can help you, did it just yesterday. The question is: do you want/need to downgrade because of root? That would need a special procedure

i think you can install tipo drivers by going into settings ->development and check 'debugging mode'. After, connect to pc via usb and drivers should start installing
Actually drivers come in the flashtool package. After installing open c/flashtool/drivers (I'd you installed here). Then install the last 2 options (flashnode and fastboot)
which option i have to select during flash '' flash mode or fastbootmode''

If you're flashing firmware, always 'flashmode'.
The name is pretty self-explanatory. Flashing > Flashmode.
is there any way to revive from hardbrick
Only a Sony engineer or someone who knows a real lot about electronics in such a mobile can fix hard brick. Hard brick means that hardware is probably broken.
But does your phone show any sights of life? Like does the led work when you plug in the charger. Then your phone is probably not hard bricked.

Maybe try to "force" to install driver trough the Device Manager in Windows. I have Win 7 64-bit and it just would't autoinstall my device in fastboot mode. I downloaded the driver, found my device in Device Manager and right clicked and choosed Update Driver. Then I choosed the folder where I had saved the downloaded driver
---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------
I have a Sony Xperia Tipo dual (ST21i2) Android smartphone which I tried to instal CyanogenMod 10 on. I managed to unlock the device in fastboot mode (according to instruction on Sony webside) and tried to flash it, but I think that I didn't place all the right files in the right folders for flashing because according to the instruction the device should reboot after flashing, but it didn't. I waited for 15-20 minutes and nothing happened so I disconnected the device from my PC. Now the when try to turn on the device the led flashes red 3 timed, then a short pause and then again 3 red flashes and so on it loops forever. So it seems that it is not completely dead yet. When I connect the device to my computer it is not recognized. In fact, Windows does not see it at all so I can not use Sony Flash Tool. Can anyone help my how to finish te installation of CM10 on my device? I have understood that you can force Xperia Tipo to install system form SDcard. If it is true how do I do that? Which files should be put on the card and how to force boot from the SDcard?
Hey everyone!
I'm new to JOINING this forum. However I have been taking bits of this forum for a few months now. I am a well experienced user when it comes to android development and rooting, but one thing I need to know - is about the Xperia E.
I hate the processor of the phone. 1GHz with 512MB is not enough, but I can change my RAM to 1GB with Root Apps and I want to use the full potential of the 1GHz Processor. I have tried rooting 3 phones, it turned successful, and next is the Xperia E. But Rooting seems dodgy and first I want to try Framaroot.
I had tried Framaroot 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5.1. All with Aragon or Gandalf, and none worked.
My phone is clearly listen as C1505 on the Compatibility list. So why is this not working?
I need help on this. And if there is any other way on rooting the device safely so it cannot be bricks nor severly damaged, I will do.
Phone - Sony Xperia E
Android - 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
4GB (3.64GB) SD Card
Framaroot V1.8.0 (Not working
3.4.0/11.3.A.2.13

It was working fine guys until I downloaded LCD Density. I put it too 300 for a little experience test.
A Bad way to go - My phone can charge, connect to PC Companion and Update Service, but is stuck at the Sony Screen.
When trying to repair at the Sony Companion, it says 'Already Latest Drivers'. When trying to us SUS, it says the same. I cannot get into flashmode and I don't have an unlocked bootloader. I'm on Kingo Android Root with SuperSU, LCD Density, Frills CPU Control, an some other root app. I need help for XPERIA E fast, because it's the only phone have in my current price range and I need to restore it to default. Any ideas?

Are you sure you can't get into Flashmode?
You could try this:
Connect your phone with your PC. Open up device manager(google on how to open, if you don't know). Click with the right mouse on your Xperia E's drivers and select "delete" or "uninstall".
Now: disconnect your phone, and connect it again. Windows will most likely ask you to install drivers. Ignore it!
Now try to repair with PC Companion or use SUS.
They should ask you to install the drivers(not 100% sure...). Let it, and then perform the steps.
It may work, but I can't guarantee it will!
Hope I helped an have a nice day!
PS. Tip: never do anything(use an app, flash a tweak) until you're absolutely sure it won't mess up your device

If you had read the thread on how to root the Xperia E then you wouldn't be in this mess. You would also know that you can't root the latest firmware. You have to downgrade, root, then OTA update - or - flash older kernel, root, flash new kernel.
Reading would have prevented this.

It is possible with cydiaimpactor or kingo without downgrading .

Actually if you were smart, you would've flashed lower JB kernel from last firmware which was rootable then root then flash the Latest JB kernel

You can also try this:
1. Download Flashtool and install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 Then download this, and put it in your Flashtool firmwares folder: http://d-h.st/ufn
2. Open Flashtool, and click the lightning icon. Select Flashmode, then press OK. Choose the 11.3.A.0.47 and click Flash. (Warning: everything on your phone [other than the microSD card and internal storage for music etc.] will be deleted!)
3. When it tells you to hold the back button on your phone and stuff, turn off the phone, hold the volume down button, and holding the button, plug the phone in. It'll be flashed.
4. When it's flashed, Flashtool will read: "Disconnect your device and power it on" or something like that. Do as it says.
5. Hopefully you'll be on the 0.47 firmware, which is compatible with Framaroot. You can use the Gandalf exploit to root your phone.

Yeh, I did read the kernel thing however I thought Kingo did it for you. And it wasn't the Rooting, it was the LCD Density too high to load up the phone because it was working fine before (correct if im wrong). I did the flashtool however there is no option for my kernel and it says my phone cannot officially be unlocked thing. I will try device manager
Wait...I have device manager up, my xperia e connects to the device manager, but I can't find the Xperia E on the device manager. There was a Sony ericcsson thing I deleted; my computer still works fine but no software available stll for Xperia E. What would the Xperia E (C1505) be called in the device manager?
Please help, i uninstalled xperia e drivers but still says no update available. I can get in flashmoe however bootloader LOCKED.

Well, the it doesn't matter if your bootloader is locked You can still flash!
Just download Androxyde's flashtool and flash a stock .ftf firmware.
If you want a guide I can sent you a link later, but now I'm on my phone, so...

sin error? That means you tried to flash a .ftf that isn't made for your device. You have probably the wrong firmware
Use this one instead: http://d-h.st/ufn

Mine has that exact kernel, but I'll try it anyway. I'll give you results once found my usb.

Hi guys,
I have decided to make this thread to help the people who are not sure how to fix their brick. We get a lot of threads with people panicking because their phone is bricked. I wanted to avoid this, by making this general guide to get rid of that awful brick. I know that there is already a thread like this available, but it faded away and I wanted to be more clear. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170. I find it a bit messy... If I'm offending someone, please say so! I'm not trying to bash Toledo_JAB!
Ok, now that has been made clear we can start
First of all, I want to give you a few tips to avoid a brick and how to prepare for it.
1. Make sure to have your phone’s battery charged 100%. Just to be sure.
2. Always make a back-up of your data. Just root your phone, download Titanium Backup and back up those precious apps! When rooting is too much for you, use Helium(formerly Carbon) or Mobile GO. Both work fine. If you have a custom recovery installed, make a Nandroid. This is a copy of your whole phone in the state before the brick, and recovering this will get your phone back to the land of the living.
3. Just avoid the ‘’vold.fstab trick’’. It is dangerous and can cause hard bricks(yes, hard bricks!)
4. Always be prepared that it could happen. When unlocking the bootloader, it can happen. When giving incorrect permissions to a system app, it can happen. BE PREPARED, AND JUST MAKE A FRIGGIN’ BACK-UP!
What is a brick?
A brick(on an Android device) is when there are uncorrectly modified system files that cause your Android device not to boot. Your device will refuse to boot completely, because it can’t simply load some stuff that are vital for the eventual boot-up. Something you don’t want, right?
Before we can begin, you have to know there are two kinds of bricks. Soft bricks and hard bricks. The most important difference between these two is that a soft brick can be fixed, and a hard brick can’t be fixed!
The most common sign of a soft brick will be that when you boot your phone the bootanimation will play, then freeze and then start all over again. This is also known as a ‘’bootloop’’. Sometimes the phone won’t reboot automatically, but just keep booting and booting without loading Android correctly. You can let it boot for a day, but it won’t work and your battery will die. Don't worry, we can fix this!
The most common sign of a hard brick is that your phone won’t do anything. No, really. Nothing. Try not to panick when you see this, but keep calm. If you have your warranty, you can laugh like a maniac because Sony will send you a new one. If not, still try to follow the steps listed below.
Let’s start. There is a difference between people who have a custom recovery, and people who don’t have a custom recovery.
People with a custom recovery can restore their Nandroid(if you have made one, ofcourse…).
People without a custom recovery will have to follow my humble steps.
Method 1: use Androxyde’s mighty Flashtool to flash a stock .ftf.
For extra info, use this extremely detailed guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 . It says Xperia Z, but it is the same for the E.
1. Download Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
2. Install it. Now locate the folder where you installed it(probably C:/Flashtool). Open the drivers folder, and run the file inside it.
3. In the huge list, scroll down to the bottom and tick the ‘’flashmode’’ and ‘’fastboot’’ drivers. A common misunderstood problem is that you need the specific phone drivers, and that the drivers for the Tipo(dual), Miro, J and E(dual) are missing. But this isn’t a problem, I can assure you. Those have been automatically be installled when you plugged your phone in your computer the first time.
4. When installed, make sure to download a stock .ftf firmware for your device. These are the Android images that have been released by Sony, which have been manually pulled of the phones.
For Tipo, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567
For Miro, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998277
For J, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385526
For E, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553609
Pick one you like . It doesn’ actually matter. Download it, and put it in the C:/Flashtool/firmwares folder.
5. Open Flashtool. If you’re on a 64bit computer, pick the 64bit version.
6. Click the thunder icon in the upper left corner.
7. Tick ‘’flashmode’’.
8. Select your .ftf. You can try to untick ‘’data’’ and ‘’cache’’, and then flash. Perhaps your apps will still be there! If this doesn’t work, you can tick them.
9. Hit ‘’flash’’. Flashtool will prepare the files.
10. A popup window will appear. Now, listen carefully: be sure that your phone is off, and get your micro USB cable. First: put it in the computer. Now, what you have to do is press(and hold) the volume down button and plug the cable in your phone. A green led will apppear.
11. Let Flashtool flash! After it’s finished, boot your phone and see the magic happen .
Note: sometimes you get an error with system.sin. To fix this, pick another firmware or redownload the same and delete the ‘’prepared’’ folder in C:/Flashtool.
This should work! If not, try the methods listed below, and otherwise don’t be shy to ask. If the led turns green you are completely safe. Try another computer and avoid Windows 8.
Method 2: even simpler than method 1, but it should work fine. We will be using Sony Update Service.
1. Download the SUS from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
2. Run, and accept the license agreement.
3. Locate your device, click it and hit ‘’next’’.
4. Now follow the instructions. It’s as simple as that.
5. Your data will definitely be erased, but your phone will be fixed again!
Note: Sony Update Service will refuse to work for devices with an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is unlocked you have no other choice than to use the Flashtool method.
This should work fine!
Method 3: my least favorite method. It didn’t work for me, but perhaps it will for you. Just try. We will be using the Sony PC Companion software… If you haven’t already installed it, do it from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
Make sure that your phone is powered off!
1. Disregard any instructions to connect the phone until you complete step 9
2. In the welcome screen you will see the different modules available for you including the "support zone" option. Click on "Start" below it.
3. On the next page Click on "Start" under "Phone/Tablet Software update"
At this point if you get an error stating that "unable to install update components" or "server is bussy" Please proceed to step 12. If you not see that error then continue with step 4.
4. The program will show a window saying "Could not find phone/tablet". Click on the option below that reads: "Repair my phone/tablet" the program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update
5. Choose the option to continue.
6. The program will issue a final message warning you of possible data lost during the update. Click on the checkmark and then on "Next/Continue".
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose the Phone from the list then click on "next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then wile pressing and holding the volume down button, connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the volume button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)
10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).
11. If the phone is connected properly, PC Companion will proceed with the update ( It will tell you to let go of the back key) then wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen to disconnect the unit.

No. Flashtool will only fix the bootloop, not cause a new one.
Mats
IMP- About drivers automatically getting installed (fastboot & flashmode drivers have to be manually installed)
1)works on Win7, Win8 not on XP
2)you must be connected to the internet for automatic driver install (& also it must be enabled in settings somewhere[if you get "serching for drivers" its enabled])
3)Win8 not reliable as windows 7 so......... 7 recommended

for Androxyde’s mighty Flashtool to flash a stock .ftf. METHOD,
is there risk of bricking your phone????///
mine is currently in bootloop now... its in there since I was trying to unlock bootloader ..cmd says its successfully done but as I plugged it out its not starting since then - only bootloop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you got bootloop you did it correctly .....flash stock ftf after that, you are ready
it worked
I used the first method (as that was the only option available for me) and it indeed solve the problem of bootloop.
here is what happened exactly:
I used Windows 7 32 bit pc as guide asks to avoid w8 -8.1.
followed steps exactly as said in guide but after connecting the phone (xperai E dual c 1605) there was error and flashing process was aborted but meanwhile some driver got installed. Its strange because I remember that I had installed all necessary driver (had connected my phone quite few times on this pc and had connected phone by vol down and connect to pc to get green light way as well ) and had also installed driver through flashtool as said in steps in tutorial..
anyway I rebooted my pc because I thought that would complete driver installation process and tried again but it did not worked and again some driver got installed but then this time instead of rebooting I tried again immediately and it worked this time.
So if u get error and instead some driver get installed just try again and most probably it will work
tip : use right click Run as admin on any exe file
PS : quote: . In the huge list, scroll down to the bottom and tick the ‘’flashmode’’ and ‘’fastboot’’ drivers. in latest flashtool version those options are right at top :silly:

I have flashed it and everything is fine but now I am not sure whether my bootloader is locked or unlocked .. I searched but there is no definate way to tell .. in xperia Z forum some asked to flash a kernel and if you get error it means its bootloader is locked (though I am not sure if it will harm phone and again cause bootloop or not ( off cou2rse I wont flash xperia Z kernel on xperia E dual ))

This forum exists to help you, but we can't do that with this information!
Please answer this questions:
-Can you get into flashmode? Phone off, USB in computer then hold volume down button while inserting USB in phone. A green LED will show.
-When you start the phone, does it vibrate?
-Is there a red LED blinking when you start the phone?
-What have you done with your phone that it became bricked like this?
That should give us the information we need.'

I don't see the problem then. Yes, you are in a boot loop. OK, use flashtool to flash a stock .ftf. Method 1 of the tutorial.

Don't connect your phone until and unless sus asks you to do that... Select your device then it will tell you when and how to connect your device.
i think it's HARD BRICKED, no boot logo, no three times vibration when trying to force turn off (POWER + VOL UP button), only red static light when charging both from pc or charger.
And sometimes i heard a sound when plugging the phone to pc, it's like my PC is trying to recognize the phone but always fail, i also heard the sound when trying to flash it using flashtool, Wmshua Perfect Brush, SUS, or PC Companion.

If you can see red light it means that your device is soft bricked

Hey bro,
I have a same issue with my xperia t. it shows no sign of charging, no flash mode and fastboot mode. can you help me out? i know it was about a year ago and you may forgot it but i've already tried all methods and i'm giving up my hope. thank you if you show me a way.
I tried to put AOSP 5.1 from FXP in my phone, and my cellphone bricked. It wont turn on, it keeps the Sony Logo 2 seconds. It haven't connection with flashtool. Please Help me.
Hi. Can you give me more information what you did exactly step by step. So maybe i can help you. My E3 was bricked too. I found a solution. But i need more information.
Flash stock rom it'll unbrick it
#4
Thank you answer back! I did exactly the following:
The model is my Xperia E3 D2212 dual sim.
- Unlocked the bootloader, :laugh:
- CWM installed a custom recovery, :laugh:
- I reinstalled the original rom, :laugh:
- I made a backup of the entire system using CWM.
And everything went super normal way, without complications.
The mistake was when he wanted to installing a custom ROM called "AOSP_L_MR1_150718_flamingo" because I found out later that he had not read that it was for ANOTHER XPERIA as follow the you tube tutorial . The ROM's for another Xperia, if I remember correctly.
After doing the installation process of the new AOSP ROM, the phone is less than a minute on the logo of SONY XPERIA down with, looped, can not enter the bootloader, and no longer recognizes the PC. I can not recognize it at FlashTool. I think that's all. :crying:
I greatly appreciate your attention.
I ended up editing this text in the google translator, then I'm sorry, if you are not very good.
Thank you

Could you help me? I can not make the pc recognize him ... He barely turns on and off since. The PC Companion software tells recognize it, but when you are installing the software says "it is not possible for this phone is changed." I can not scessar the bootloader does not give time and it shuts down.
Thanks, my error was with the fastboot driver and adb in flashtool. The Windows drivers wasn't been recognized, I've to install the drivers, all of they. After this, I Flashed the Stcok ROM, installed SuperSU and Restored the backup, everything works fine and fluid now. Thanks, anyway, for encouraging me.
I flashed my D2203 back to factory rom yesterday using Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php) on Windows 7 PC.
How did I do it:
1) Install flashtool
2) Install Flashtool-drivers.exe from flashtool subfolder /drivers and select flashmode and fastboot drivers.
3) Run Flashtool and open XperiFirm (letters XF on logo)
4) Select Xperia E3 Flamingo -> proper D22** you have -> Market -> and select latest release below PayPal logo
5) Press "Download" and wait for download and unpacking
6) Switch off phone (if power on/off button does not respond then open back cover and push "OFF" by using pen)
7) Press and hold volume down button and connect phone to PC using original USB cable
8) Using Flashmode flash device
