2. When entering in cmd fastboot.exe 0x0fce getvar version, i get invalid vendor id or waiting for device, now My question is how to fix this? Since I wanna root My phone and do more things.
Thanks in advance

[Q] HELP :( Rooted my phone & now it won't turn on

Hi everyone, I need some help.
I'm a beginner to all this and today I rooted my phone successfully without unlocking the bootloader. I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302700
Everything was fine, until I tried to install some fonts from the ifonts app. I installed two without any problems, my phone restarted fine etc. But then when I tried to install the last one, my phone reset as it usually does but then just stays on the start screen with the multicoloured flowing waves.
I've tried to search for how to put it on safe mode but it doesn't even come up on my phone.
Please help, I don't know what I've done wrong

There seems to be some kind of issue with 4.0+ fonts, because on my old Galaxy Ace with 4.1 CM the situation was the same. After changing one font the phone got bootloopped.
For XL, I recommend "repairing" it with PC Companion. But be aware that it will erase all your data so if you want to save it you can try this SpeedyDroid thing to back it up. I haven't tested it so I can't tell you more.

I thought it may of been the actual font. Thank you for clarifying.
I did the Sony repair yesterday which fixed the problem.
Thanks for your reply xx

xperia l's only.. one thing in my device manager it shows a yelow triangle which may have been caused during the bootloader unlock process..it corrupted and it shows can't start device code 10..and also in flashtool since it didn't have xl i chose xperia z and then flashed the xperia l's firmware and all went well..but still stuck..i'm guessing something's wrong with drivers

Bootloader Unlock

Guys i am a real noob in sony...
i am looking for how to unlock my xperia e dual c1604 with easiest and the fastest method...
Tia
Sent from my C1604 using xda premium

Hai bro
Download latest flashtool,there is an option to unlock bootloader in it..if your device supports unlocking

i don't think it's that easy. and i also read offical method isn't that safe u can end up in a bootloop
Sent from my C1604 using xda premium

Luckily there is something that is called a backup . Just back-up your device, pre-install Flashtool, download a stock .ftf of your device (See my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468228). Using flashtool, unlock the bootloader. Turn on your device, see if you're in a bootloop. If so, flash the stock .ftf! (http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/05/...e-by-flashing-ftf-file-via-xperia-flash-tool/)
Don't mind it saying ''update manually''

Lol there is some risk.involved...but till now I never heard anyone hard bricking their device during bl unlock...

It's too bad :\ It's against open source rules... Operators who lock bootloader are really stupid scums.

I believe it's a hardware issue??? Yes OEM's lock their devices bootloader, but when it can't be unlocked, I believe it's because of the hardware. But please correct me if I'm wrong...

Your assumption is wrong. It has nothing to do with hardware as they can still be unlocked using software.

It can be unlocked using flashtool.
Make sure you have installed
- FlashMode Drivers
- Fastboot Drivers
I recommend you to use OS:
- Windows XP
This process doesn't work properly on Windows 8 because it needs sign on Drivers.
All the best.

I akready tried that but sometimes but it then ask to select device after that it shows that the device cannot be unlocked with official methods..

There is one way go to fastboot mode and flash a stock based kernel then go to recovery and flash your stock rom, but it is only possible if there is a stock rom flashable zip for tipo users:thumbup:
