[Resolved] [Q] Xperia Go: How to downgrade and upgrade by flashing? - General Questions and Answers

Hello.
Well, sorry for bothering you... but I really don't know what to do. I am too lost so the things I wrote here may not have sense
There is a recap at the end of this post, so I won't annoy you more than necessary.
Before explaining anything, I will show you my mobile specifications.
- Model: Sony Xperia Go ST27i
- Android version: Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4
- Kernel: 6.1.1.B.1.54
- Root?: No
- Unblocked Bootload: No

My mobile phone was in the 6.1.B.0.599 kernel. Thanks to the user Bin4ry and his application Root and Restore, I could root it and gain superuser privileges, so I could uninstall annoying apps and customize my phone as I wanted with a custom launcher, etc.
Suddenly, every time I reseted the phone, it began to happen a strange thing. I will explain it detailedly.
- I turn on the phone.
- The screen brights with the SONY logo.
- The XPERIA logo appears.
- The phone vibrates shortly and the screen stops brighting.
- The XPERIA logo keeps until an undetermined moment.
- After X time (minutes, hours), Android asks me for the PIN number and starts working normally.
I was tired of this, but I didn't know what to do or why do this happen.
Today I connected the phone to the PC and Sony Companion asked me to update to 6.1.1.B.1.54. I hoped that would help with the problem. What I didn't know is that when I update the kernel, I must root the phone again.
That's because I tried to root the phone again, but the application Root and Restore couldn't do it. I mean, the application did the work, the phone reseted and the problem I had with the Xperia initialization solved, but the mobile kept unrooted.
This is the Root and Restore log:

After I investigated a little in this forum, I learnt that I precisely updated to an unrooteable kernel...
I kept investigating and I found out that the solution was downgrading to the kernel I was, then rooting and finally upgrading again, but to downgrade and upgrade I needed to "flash".
I'm not English, I'm noob in Android world and I'm retard, so I couldn't understand how to flash. I installed FlashTools, but I need to download the kernel and I don't know how to find the correct one for my phone. I don't know if FlashTools needs me to unblock Bootload either, but if I need it, I've already got the code from Sony, though maybe there are other unofficial methods...
Sorry for this huge Bible. I will summarize:
I upgraded from .599 to .54 and I can't root. How can I downgrade the kernel?
I'm sorry again for bothering you and for being so retard in this, but could you help me, please? I would like so much to become root again... You can laugh at me :silly: If I wrote something wrong, please, correct me because I'm not English and I could not realize.
Thank you so much :victory:

Download Flashtool by Bin4ary and Androxyde. Install it. Then You should find the 'rootable ftf' file of your firmware in your Xperia Go forum. Download it. and then put it in the folder where you installed Flashtool. Ex. If you installed it in C Drive, go to C> Program Files> Flashtool> Firmwares and paste the 'ftf' file. Then open Flashtool and click on 'Flash' icon. Select flashmode. Select firmware (Careful). Select Ok and follow instructions on screen. After it is done flashing, disconnect the phone and turn it on. It WILL NOT turn ON on its own. Before flashing, make sure USB debugging is on, unknown sources is checked & you are in MSC mode not in MTP mode.
Flashing this ftf will solve ALL of your problems and will unroot your device.
Once the phone turns on, go to your forum section and search on topics how to root. Once rooted, you can remove any unwanted bloat from your system. I prefer using NoBloat free from market. It's cool and safe app that backups all the apps you delete so you can replace them.
Hit thanks if ^^^it^^^ helped you.

KYOCERA ECHO RECOVERY IMAGE!!!! Full list of Kyocera Echo Tools

First things first, let me give credit where credit is due!
ZergRush - For creating his script to root the echo; and also giving Saridnour the Tools to create is "Kyocera Echo 1-Click" root method.
Saridnour - For his committed work to Hear the Echo (Our Kyocera Echo Website) and creating the recovery image from scratch pretty much!
KyoceraEchoHax - For Advertising the site and helping us to obtain over 200 members in one month (and growing)
Me - For bringing all these random people together
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now to the good stuff
Here is Saridnour's OneClick Root for the Kyocera EchoHERE
The main problem poeple have is the fact that they use USB tethering! YOUR TETHERING MUST BE OFF or this will not work. tethering uses the ADB servers making it unusable while it is active. TURN TETHER OFF!!
Instructions from Saridnour:
Tool will do it all.. You just need to install the Kyocera Echo drivers from their site (links on the tool)
Let me know if you find issue or bugs. I did this pretty quick and hacked out most of it sitting at TacoTime for dinner last night. lol. The FC's drove me nuts until today and think this should be stable for everyone now. No FC's for me in some time. I did the online update as well without issues, but don't reccomend it just yet although the tool can revert you right back if need be.
Usage:
1- Extract files to your computer, open it, and click Rootme.
Thats about it. Follow the steps and you should be golden. And yes.. These will be the driods you were looking for!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is Saridnour FULLY FUNCTIONAL recovery image, it has been tested by multiple people and this is the official release! you can get it HERE
Post from Saridnour on the Original Site:
Well at long last, the Recovery Image is now complete and ready for public Release!
.
Thanks to all the donators, beta testers and those who helped this along the way. I will update this as needed to help the install process and give thanks where needed. I was very rushed getting this up as I wanted it out on Halloween.. the ultimate echo treat!! But we all know what happens when we rush..
BUT the file was done and tested prior to so its just the presentation that was rushed
.
A BIG thank you to Na’ven Enigma for sharing some of her websites bandwidth and hosting the files. She wanted to make sure everyone was able to get instant access to the recovery. Please give her a BIG thank you!
.
.
Only known issue is that you cannot mount the device as a usb drive to copy files. This is a common issue with CWM and should have little to no impact as our echo has removable Micro SD cards.
.
.
To install:
-Follow the directions given in the script (IE: Install the drivers from Kyocera for the Echo, Install the driver that is launched from the script (it's not part of the standard echo drivers)
.
- Make sure it is booted to the os and that debug is turned on: (phone settings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging)
.
- Extract the archive to a folder (IE : the Desktop of your computer)
.
- Run the script “SAR_Recovery.bat” (From within the folder noted above ON YOUR PC)
.
- Follow the prompts given, read what it is asking/telling you and take that action (very short and simple)
.
- Exit from the script and you should be done with the upgrade.
.
- Install from the marketplace “Quick Boot” (free) to allow you to boot into recovery as there are no hardware keys known at this time. You can also use ADB if you can’t access the OS, just send this command: ADB reboot recovery.
.
- Backup your device, Find a rom and have FUN!'
.
.
If you can't boot the OS prior to install:
If you can only see the Kyocera bootloader screen and not boot the OS you need to do this another way. Its still easy and you will just need to follows the steps above up to running the script and install the included driver (or from withint the folder you extracted, install the driver) and then connect your device in bootloader mode (Kyocera screen with yellow light on) and from the pc, ope a command prompt, change to the directory that you extraced the files and type this command " Fastboot devices" it should return ??? meaning it can see your device. IF NOT YOU DO NOT HAVE the drivers loaded, are not in bootloader mode, or your usb is not connected [Bad canle/port/etc]). Once it can see your device type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it will install CWM. You will then need to run "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into recovery. From there you can install your new rom from HTE.
.
.
Note: The whole process takes less than 5 min. If it hangs, has an issue or you are unsure what it did. Give it another couple minutes, pull the plug, reboot and try again. You can not hurt your phone running this as if the install fails or currupts the recovery image, you only need to reboot to the os and the bootloader to correct the issue and this is what this script does to begin with
.
Don’t forget to donate if you find this of use!
.
Enjoy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I will ask you all a favor.
So in the last month or so our site (Hear the Echo) has gone from 20 members in the first week to 200+ 3 weeks later. This is great and horrible at the same time. Our bandwidth cannot support 200 people (it wasn't expected to grow so fast). So I please ask you all to donate to HTE and Saridnour. I ask for HTE because we need to expand our Bandwidth because the site has had a minimum of 2-8 members joining DAILY and we cannot hold on much longer (we have about 5 MB left until the site shuts down for the rest of this week, the bandwidth restarts at the beginning of the next month). So PLEASE donate to us. Also, I say Saridnour because I would not be posting right now if it wasnt for his committment and effort for the site. Thank you Saridnour SO MUCH MAN!
Thanks for reading everyone,
Ognimnella (AKA BFG SgtRecon on HTE)

My brother had root with Android 2.2 (z4root method), but the 2.3.4 update caused his phone to not boot up and he got a replacement. Knowing what I know now, I could of used fastboot to flash the recovery.img...
So I'm gonna go try this! Instead of using "Saridnours" method, couldn't we just use this?

Android Sooner Single Fastboot Interface wrong platform??
I get "Android Sooner Single Fastboot Interface is the wrong driver for this platform" So what is the right one for the echo. Also when i try fastboot devices I don't get the ??? just another blank space. My device shows up as "Unidentified device or unknown device too. I feel this is the last thing preventing me from un-bricking my phone so if anybody has any can help me i would greatly appreciate it.
I used SAR recovery and i get all the way to the point where I'm in bootloader mode, the amber light is on, and I'm waiting on devices. So I'm out of ideas.

@prg626
oui j'ai essayé avec ces 2 méthodes et aucune ne marche.
merci quand même
Hope someone could help me (and the 2 other french user i know with the same trouble)
thanks
Try This...
I don't have that device nor seen it but in my shop experience, you can modify the rooting programs by extracting the SU and SUPERUSER files from other SuperOneClick programs and pasting those files into that one you posted here and try that. If that does'nt work, then try to get that device in a custom recovery and find a root.zip flashable file and paste the SU and SUPERUSER files into it. Then flash the Root.zip file from the root of your sd card. I got that to work on alot of IMPOSSIBLE devices Sometimes devices are "read only error" so your only alternative is to flash from recovery.
thanks but it seems a litle bit complicated for me...
nonody has another easyest solution for me ?
probably someone has already reach the goal of root this phone... so if he can give us the way to do it, he will be great.
It would seem all rooting exploits are or have been blocked, the only way I have found to root the E320 is the Xakep ROM Flash from acer-club.ru although the rom flash is for 1.008.00 and not 1.013.00 (I did read that 1.008.00 could gain root access using DoomLords tool but not sure of version but depending on your phones production date may now be blocked) I have flashed Xakep ROM 1.008.00 after 1.013.00 now cannot update or reflash as the Radio/AMSS side of ROM is still 1.013.00 ... just to make you aware.... would advise to read as much as possible from Xakep's postings
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
thanks for this info.
probably i have found a solution :
replace the original ROM Orange (impossible to root) by another ROM Acer already rooted...
does someone can confirm me that it will be possible ?
i want to replace : OS_Acer_1.013.00.EMEA.ORGFR_A23G_A
by this one : acer_E320_1.008.00_EMEA_GEN1:
That is what I'm on now although it has given me the problem that neither the Xakep 1.008.00 or the Orange 1.013.00 EUU'S will reflash the phone.
I must admit I have not tried to solve this problem yet as phone is working 100% other than unable to reflash.
One thing it will not update is the RADIO part of the phone, this will remain as 1.013.00 and this is probably the reason for being unable to reflash.
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
Since it was stated in another post (possibly on another site just can't remember ) that prior to an OTA update root access was gained using DoomLords exploit, finally a ROM has surfaced *** :highfive: *** that may be of use - Link at the bottom of the page for the ROM
Yes I have it on my phone now and seems A-OK BUT..... and this is a big BUT!!!!......
Please..............(the dreaded disclaimering bit)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU CAN RECOVER FROM ANY PROBLEMS WITH FLASHING THE ROM
AS YOU WILL HAVE TO EDIT FILES TO 'DOWNGRADE' YOUR PHONES SYSTEM.
If you are confident in editing and flashing then by all means do so BUT I am not held accountable for errors or unusable software/hardware, what may have worked for me may NOT work for you.....
(Basically if you're not sure don't do it - I was only 80% sure trying it but I take risks and fully accept the consequences if I brick my phone)
What you will need to do is the following:
Firstly you will need the Temp files of both the ROM you are using and 1.005.00 ROM.
Current Rom...
No Need To Connect Your Phone For This.
Run the update program.
Search for (depending on your ROM) a folder in
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Application Data\
the folder named ACER_EUU_Download_Tools (Stock Update)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or for
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Local Settings\Temp\
a folder named 7ZipSfx.000 (Xakep ROM's as I have come across no others yet and the .000 can increment .001 .013)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy that folder to another location then cancel the update (you will notice if you check all but a few files are deleted - this happens even if the update succeds or fails to flash your phone)
Now do the same for the 1.005.00 update and copy the folder to another location.
From the 1.005.00 copied update folder copy the following files:
AMSS_C6.Orange.1.005.00_4G_2Die.hex
Android_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
flex-Orange_FR_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Paste into the copied Current ROM folder.
Rename the corresponding files - examples:
AMSS
Orange = AMSS_C6.Orange.1.014.00_4G_2Die.hex
Xakep =C6_Image_4G_2Die_MODEM.hex
Android System
Orange = Android_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
Xakep = C6_Android_WB_1.008.00_release_key.hex
FLEX
Orange = flex-EMEA_GEN1_signed.hex
Xakep = flex_Orange_UK_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
rename and add .bak to the files (we want to preserve the filenames)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now rename the copied 1.005.00 files to the corresponding files renamed .bak (to suit your ROM's files)
Make a backup copy of your now edited folder incase of any failure
(the EUU deletes files on success AND failure - we don't want to have to go through this again)
You can now delete/remove any files you no longer require (1.005.00 copied folder - .bak files)
You can now run the file EUU.exe from the edited folder and update the phone.
SKU - The French/Russian ROM's use different SKU than the UK ROM, the above method is the only one i've been able to
revert my phone back to a UK ROM - FR and RU ROMS can flash over each other and UK...UK is unable to flash over FR/RU ROM.

Any DEV interested in modding and maybe making Root Access persistant (think this is the only ROM prior to 1.008.00 update that is rootable) --==>>HERE<<==-- is the link for ACER 1.005.00 ORGFR ROM I found.
Have Fun.

:cyclops: . . . . . and here is an OTA .zip I grabbed - Official OTA contains .mbn & .img files so here's some info .txt
Has anyone else tried this yet?
I have tried it but I had firmware from acer-club.ru and I have bricked my phone, so as this post says be careful.
If anyone know how to get past 'aFlex download fail!!!' and the USB is not recognized by PC then let me know.
For those that come across this I finally got it working. I am not sure what did it but this is what happened.
Phone was left with battery disconnected most of the day.
I formatted a 4GB mini SD card and copied the folder from OTA.ZIP file on the bottom of Antagonist42 post.
Inserted this mini SD refitted the battery and whilst holding volume up and volume down press and held the power button.
Not sure if I released one of the volume keys but modem download came up without the dreaded 'aFlex download fail!!!' message.
Connected to laptop flashed with standard 1.013.00 firmware from Acer UK website.
Phone then booted and did OTA update to 1.014.00 and all looks OK. (sorry Antagonist42 was not quick enough to the OTA files)
I don't know what helped here but I thought I would let you all know what I did.
My warranty is still sending out a replacement phone tomorrow even though I got it going so I will try Antagonist42's root fix when I have the new one as this one needs to go back with the stock ROM.
Finally have phone working ( to a degree ) and moved house ( unable to play with phone and OTA ).
aSYSTEM/aFLEX/etc download fails
Initially rerun the update program and/or download the updater again, ensure you're not getting decompression/write errors on your PC as this will give you the same errors.
If after doing the above the error remains then it could actually be hardware failure ( still trying to iron my own NAND/partition error out )
As for running OTA over an error the OTA is not written to memory in the same way as the PC updater as with prior post my guess is corrupt file and not an actual 'brick' as running a fresh updater (the same as the rom that was installed and not a different rom) would probably have corrected the fault.
I'll soon post what other small but interesting things you can do with a stock updater that does not require hacking or vast programming knowledge

I've had a similar problem with Windows 8.1 its the culprit! No drivers are working on Windows 8.1 for our devices so try with less than Windows 8.1 it will work
and the next version of root exploit will contain framaroot!

Kingo Android ROOT - 100% working

[Completed] Root Tudou91 D1 *no other forums on this*

Dear XDA,
I have had a Tudou 91 D1 for over a year, and i tried every rooting method. (one click root, srs root, etc) I tried looking for roms but there is little on google about this phone, and nothing on xda. It is a good phone, very happy with it, but no roms. Is there any rom that could be tweaked to work on my phone? I checked about rom porting and creating a new rom via kitchen but all those require a rom for my phone, and a rom i want to change. The problem is i got nothing for my phone.

if it helps, i extracted launcher apk and it had something like s3 launcher.
Thank you very much!
First off, try to see if the manufacturer provides existing firmware on their website. It would be ideal if you can get that. If there is one, then that would be your backup.
Now the next step towards rooting is to either use z4root or try to inject the root into the stock firmware and then flash it yourself. You may also use this guide to enhance it further.
Now supposing you do not find a Stock firmware by the manufacturer, there is a way to backup the current stock firmware on the phone. At least for most of the phones. Here's a nice Guide on how to do so. I am aware its for a different phone. But it will give you ideas and pointers.
FYI on SRS page they say your phone is supported. So Try These steps
1. Use USBDEVIEW to uninstall any usb devices that look like they may be your phone.
2. Download the Universal Drivers from here http://hexamob.com/drivers-smartphone-tablet/tutorial-universal-adb-driver-koush/
3. Once you have your phone installed with the proper drivers and can access ADB via cmd (if you need adb tool search the forms) download the srsroot and run it.
Like i said in the first line Your Phone is Supported by SRS root. Once you have root back up your phone. Back up your WHOLE phone not just system and data. Everything. Once you have a good backup. start playing. If you just want to use some simple mods install xposed. If you want a custom AOSP rom u will prob have to build it your self.
Have fun!
I will try! i think i messed up somewhere with adb, when i tried srs root. does srs root need adb drivers? if so, then that was my problem.

Hello,
After looking at your thread we have decided to close it. XDA assist is here to help users learn their way around XDA. It is not here to fix issues for users. Please have a look at the goals of the forum:
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.

We do hope you can get your issue resolved.

thanks for the rom, i ve already flashed it onto my soho.
is there a list with all the features of the rom? what did you remove and could you remove the amazon-ads too?
rom seems bugless so far and i ve installed xposed from solarwarez without a problem.
Many thanks for putting this ROM together - it breathes new life into my soho Kindle.
I've just finished installing/booting, ROM is working great. Any tweaking for power/speed would be awesome.
Cheers !

I also purchased a fastboot cable.
thanks
How do I root my soho..ive looked through so much today that my mind is spinning... I have a fastboot cable.. ive looked at various threads, but still not sure where to start. I would really appreciate some help, ive read through a document that goes through stages, but i seem to falter at the first hurdle. Anyway, I am not going to give up, just some bullet points as to what to do in what order would be great ...... thank you in anticipation...

So I wiped the system partition prior to flashing, and now missing basic system elements for boot. Apparently this is a mod and not a ROM. So what's custom? I don't see anything different. What's "unlocked" exactly that wasn't already?
hey guys i have a twrp system backup for you for the latest update but i recommend the new Android 7.1.X based rom for our device

The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.

In both cases my tablet reboots but checking with 'Root Analyzer' I can see that it is not rooted.
I have also tried rooting with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v30 choosing the 1st option but I get this:

At this point, my kindle fire displays a screen where I have to choose between 'Do not restore' and 'Restore my data' and I chose 'Restore my data' but my tablet does not reboot at all and the runme.bat file keeps running forever. I have also tried not to press anything at all on the 'Do not restore/Restore my data' screen and I get this:
HTML:
Successful, going to reboot your device in 10 seconds!

You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! Have fun!

My tablet actually reboots but checking with Root Analyzer I still see the message 'No, your device is not rooted'. What should I do? :'( Ask me all the questions you need and I'll do my best to answer them. Also, please keep in mind that I am not technical therefore explain me things as you would explain them to a quite smart baby Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your answer. I have tried Kingroot and iRoot but they could not root my tablet. I have tried downloading root_script.zip from the following link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47881661&postcount=1
and I get this
