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,

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

Hello guys,
So, yeah I recovered my phone+ I finally found a way to root it with: http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ !!!!
It was very easy, just download it and run the .exe. After rooting you have to manually install Superuser/SuperSU.
Have a nice day,
From a very happy person
Hey guys,Its my first time posting so....please have mercy
I have been going up and down the whole xda forum and have unfortunately not found any SAFE WAY to unlock the bootloader.....I would be extremely grateful if someone could spare some time to reply to this desperate noob:silly: .....:fingers-crossed: ....
( Just stating something...i bricked my Xperia 3 times( testing various risky things) and have no problem with flashing stock ftf anytime,anywhere,anyplace:laugh
Just unlock it via flashtool.click on the blu BUTTON and type or copy paste the key send by sony and surely you will get bootloops so flash stock ftf.

Hey man,I trie ddoing that flashtool BLU thing but.....heres the problem.....when i click BLU..It tell me to connect in flash mode ...so i do that,phones green LED comes on.......then it says (something. blahblah....."flashing data") AND THEN MY GREEN LED LIGHT GOES OFF:crying::crying:.....disconnected,tried again same result....any advice?:crying:
Using flashtool is the best way. However most users got stuck in boot loops the first time they unlocked bootloader. If you also get in bootloops then flash stock kernal again and You should give it a second try to unlock bootloader... It worked for me
Best to of luck with that

Because you must connect your phone in fastboot mode, not flashmode.

Try flashing a STOCK rom, that should restore everything, if not Relock bootloader, and send in to Sony, They'll most likely accept warranty.
Hello,
You say you've flashed 2 .ftf's? So flashmode still works? If so, you could try Sony Update Service. If not, well, yeah, sending it to Sony is the only available option(if you still have warranty). If the warranty is over, you might want to consider to buy a new phone. Not trying to scare you! If you still have warranty, don't worry!
Succes!

Flashmode works but when the flashing is over and i try to turn on the phone continue with the same problem. I don't have warranty :crying:
try sony update service or pc companion.
there is no reason for that after successful flashing. maybe there is something during flashing or in the ftf file?
Bring your phone to the Sony center they will repair your boot. I searched on Google and fuond this problem. My miro just like yours now. It will cost about 20$

Are you wiping the data and cache/dalvik cache when trying to flash FTF ? This seems to be the usual problem!
And you know about booting into fastboot mode to flash ? Can you provide your log of your flashing FTF? We might be able to help you further with that!
On the contrary, bringing it to Sony as of now is the best option rather than trying to flash and re-flash stock ftfs
Relocking the bootloader won't work. You lose the DRM Keys forever and those keys will never come back

ive been having this problen for almost a month now .. when i upsated to android 4.2.2 it worked for the following weeks . Then suddenly , it started doing that . despite numerous restarts , it still doesnt work . ive tried repairing from Sony Update Service, it still doesnt work .. I couldnt use my warranty , as my phone has a cracked screen . If you're wondering , the camera problems doesnt occur even when the screen was cracked , and it cracked before the 4.2 update .
So are there any suggestions ? XPERIA L C2105

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 ?

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
Well this is started happening and i have done a device repair on the pc companion before that from around 3 week's and the phone book doing the same thing when i tryes to call some one the keyboard opens and start doing the same thing by it self like i sad i have done a device repair on the pc companion i thout sending it to service will that help or they will make a factory reset also thevreson y i have made a phone repair that the battery drains and the stamina gives me wrong readings for the draining time like 4 dayes and 13 hour and it lasts 1 day only something is worng here :/:fingers-crossed

It is a software problem. You need to flash your firmware again "with Flashtool" cause Sony's companion is crap
