Hello everyone,
Well, this is my first post, but I've learned alot from this site, and I love it. I wanted to ask a couple questions so I decided to register. My phone is a Sony Xperia E single sim with 11.3.A.2.13 on it. I've had it for 2 months and it turned out to be running very slow. So I decided to try to root it, and I failed... I tried everything, from using SRSroot, to flashing to 11.3.A.0.47 and root it with Framaroot and then flash back to 11.3.A.2.13. Nothing worked, so I decided in a desperate move to unlock the bootloader of my phone, I saw lots of posts, which said that there was no harm in it, and if you were facing a bootloop after the unlocking you could easily flash the phone in Flashmode with Flashtool. So I unlocked my bootloader with the BLU button in Flashtool, and after that I was facing a bootloop... Now, I didn't panick, because I just flashed the 11.3.A.2.13.ftf which I downloaded, and... It didn't work! Flashtool got stuck at ''Flashing data'' at 90 %. I still didn't panick, and I downloaded both 11.3.A.0.47.ftf file and 11.3.A.2.23.ftf file, but the same thing happened. So I used different USB-ports, but Flashtool got stuck again! Now I got a bit scary, but I didn't freak out, I downloaded a relock-bootloader file for the single sim, and flashed it! And it worked! I tried to flash another .ftf file, and again it got stuck... So I used Sony Update Service, which completed downloading, but got stuck at 0% with the installing, after 5 minutes it said: ''install failed, please check if your phone is fully charged''. And I do think it was fully charged, because I charged my phone all night, but there was one option left: repair the phone with PC Companion, and then flash a .ftf file. But my PC companion has no repair buttons! I know it should be there, but it isn't! So here I am, desperate, and willing to do everything to fix my phone! I have 3 questions:
1. Is there anything left to do, which I can try?
2. If I send my phone to Sony, will they know I tried to modify my software? Because flashing the relock-bootloader file did work. And before they fix my phone they have to flash it, and I think that if they do that, there is no way left to see it had the bootloader unlocked, but please correct me if I'm wrong! Isn't it possible to make up a lie, like: I tried to update my phone with PC Companion, and during the installation, it got stuck, and my phone ended up in a bootloop?
3. If Sony does know that my bootloader was unlocked, what will it cost me to let them fix it?
But please, answer question one first, because that's always free
1.Be patience... try flashing again, leave your phone for 10~15 minutes if doesn't work... Try on another computer (friend's) . It should work.
2.as you said that bootloader relock.ftf successfully flashed and root didn't work,I don't think theres any proof left to know that you try to modify your phone's software ,so you can make a lie
3. I didn't know that.
Thanks
Thanks
Hello gagu.436425,
Indeed I left my computer on flashing for almost 2 hours, no result. But as you said(and I read on another site) tomorrow I will try it on my friends gaming PC with Windows 7... I myself have a ****ty laptop from 5 years ago with Windows XP
So I'll try this, and I'm pretty sure this will work, because there was a person with a E having the exact problem on another site, and he fixed it on the pc of his dad. But my phone got stuck in a bootloop a week ago, so I started to panick, and posted on XDA! For the next problem I will keep searching a bit longer!
Thank you for your great tip! And you were the first that responded after 30 views, so I appreciate it very much!
Kind regards,
MatsPunt

Hello,
Unfortunately the flashing didn't work, on my friend's PC it also didn't work!!! What can I do? I'm getting real desperate!!!
Which version of flashtool are you using.....?
Its recommended to use latest version...
Try this..
Charge the phone..
Pull out battery
After a few minutes put it back in...DO NOT POWER IT ON OR PRESS POWER BUTTON
Now prepare for flashing and then when it asks to connect..then, only then press vol down and connect..
Hope this works...
And just make sure your biotloader us still locked.,,if it isn't,just flash a different kernel via fastboot
Hello,
Thank you very much for your great replies! First of all: I am using the latest version of Flashtool! 0.9.11.0 is the latest version, or isn't it? If not, I will download the newest version!
mathewsj114: I will try your great tip in the evening, because I don't have much time now! But I will start charging now! So, later on I will post the results, and maybe( if it didn't work) a screenshot of my Flashtool during the flashing. Perhaps that will help you to help me . But first I'm going to try what you said.
Kind regards,
MatsPunt
OMG, a potatoe!
Hello mathewsj114,
Well, I charged my phone fully(something like 5 hours), and I followed your other instructions, but unfortunately... No result. Flashtool still gets stuck at 90%!
But a friend of mine is willing to help me out and I will give him my phone today. He will try to fix it,
Kind regards,
MatsPunt
If all else fails like flashing stock ROm for Xperia E the only way to get your phone back is to return it to Sony in hopes of them replacing it

Then suddenly , it started doing that . despite numerous restarts , it still doesnt work . ive tried repairing from Sony Update Service, it still doesnt work ..

Try using the repair feature, using Sony PC companion.
Or try re flashing an ftf
try to factory resetting if it not work download and install clean ftf from development section.and flash it with flashtool
Soo , i tried factory resetting like a dozen times , it still doesnt work . i wanted to try to flash another rom , but im afraid i would brick my phone because ive never done any custom rom installation before . About the flashing a new ftf file ... is it safe to flash it using a flashtool ? are there any possibilities that i would brick my phone ?

Refer to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337955
You'll have to download an ftf first thought. I recommend that you download the latest one (15.3.A.0.26) and follow the steps on that guide
It's safe I've done it a few times xD

Isnt flashing a new ftf the same as using the Sony Companion and Update Service? If my camera still doesnt work , do i have any more methods to use to repair my camera? or do i have to bring it to some repair shop .. If i backed up my stuff in my phone , then try flashing a new ftf file , is the backup usable still?

If you've backed up all your apps and data with an app then yes. Flashing an ftf might actually help, if it doesn't then you should probably go to a sony center to get it fixed :L
I rooted my phone and was about to install Nexboost V6 rom from following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-nexboost-cm11-camera-t2852519
Below were the steps given.
Flash 11.0.A.6.8 firmware (4.0.4 ftf)
Flash Poseidon Kernel
Boot into CWM
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
Format system
Flash the ROM, enjoy your Sony Xperia Nexus
I performed first two steps and tried to boot into recovery but when restarting device it only keeps on vibrating and green/blue led pops up continously.
Before this sometimes sony xperia logo kept appearing and when i pressed volume up/down for booting into recovery, it kept restarting by itself.
I dont know if my recovery got affected or what..
Please help me in this regard.
Thanx in advance...
hello, first thing first, no CWM if your bootloader is locked!!!!
okay, these steps can be done one a time, so make sure where the problem is exactly..
first..take off the battery and put it in again and FLASHMODE. flash the ftf and make a full boot if the phone boots with no problems then you can continue.
then, power off and FASTBOOT MODE mod and make the second step that is flashing UltraGamerHD's kernel and make a full boot to system again...
and so..... if your phone didnt face any problems you can install the ROM.
(make sure you download the kernel from the official website)

I have unlocked the bootloader. Now the guy from that post of Nexboost Rom quoted
" Retry the process.
Btw, I made a mistake.
The version number of the FTF is 11.1.A.0.68, not 11.0.A.6.8 "
I have found that ftf file and is in download.
Do that make a difference in my procedure. ??
oh yes (unexpected mistake) lol
dowload 4.0.4 ICS from here
for xperia E DUAL:
11.1.A.0.68 =4.0.4=ICS
11.3.A.3.1=4.1=JB
Ohk fine.. I will get back when it will finish, i hope i dont have to face any other issue.
Anyways thnx a lot for ur help. Keep helping

Hey TheBrainCandy,
Firmware and kernel were installed successfully but i faced an issue while installing ROM, it showed some error as :
" E:Error in /sdcard/NexboostV5.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted. "
I surfed related to this error and found out to edit the binary script, also followed it but still there is no progress..
M stucked again at this point. Looking forward for ur valuable help.
Please help, Thanx in advance
i saw your posts there and the "installation aborted" is just a quoted message that doesnt affect the ROM or the installation so you better refer it the ROM owner maybe he could help you other than that,
make sure that your system/ is mounted,,, just make sure you followed the instructions if you're facing a problem with this ROM, you may wanna look at my jellybean ROM. good luck once again
Thanx a lot friend.. Please give me link of your thread..

setup guide doesn't matter, if the phone works fine after that message then yeah not a problem, if its stuck there then its the ROM's fault not your installation steps
