have you tried a different ftf. or the extracted update service that hard installs the firmware

unable to understand it. plz explain.:crying:

I assume you waited patiently as PC Companion/SEUS downloaded the update. So the raw update files are in your PC right now!!
All you've to do to make your own ftf file is to follw the procedure here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676565
And once you have your ftf file ready, flash it with the flash tool & let us know if it works :fingers-crossed:

Whats mtp mode and I got another problem because of the new firmware and pc companion it starts and reboots every couple of minutes.

Go to settings > xperia > connection type (or something like that)
you'll find mtp and msc mode somewhere in there. Switch it to whatever it isn't.

Is your bootloader status unlockable :no?
Then you (probably) cannot install generic FS.

Just 1 more thing cant download internet settings

Pretty similar thing
Hi guys,
I have got quite a similar problem. I flashed a new FXP 4.1.2 CM, but now, when I try to reflash back to stock using flashtool, it gets stuck on 0%. My phone has unlocked bootloader, and as a matter of fact, it works just fine on 4.1.2. But it's strange that I can't get back to stock rom. I have got st21i_11.0.A.4.22_Generic ftf file, I tried downloading different ones, changing flashtool version. The only solution I can think of is getting a stock CWM backup (didn't make one myself (( and try to flash it from CWM.... Any other ideas? Or backups?

Then I thought I could use the stock based roms and installed Dark Moon AVD Rom 4.1.2 using the CWM recovery. The instructions included the flashing of the kernel which again I was not able to do, the flashtool responded the same way. Now I don't know what to do with my phone. Please help. When I charge my phone now and press the power button once I can see the battery logo but when I try to turn on, the orange led blinks once and then nothing happens. Thanks in advance.

It looks like some drivers are missing.
Download and install Sony driver package to your computer and then try and report.
