Try to use the BLU(BootLoader Unlock) button in Flashtool. See this link for further information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755215
Just scroll down to Here's the another use of FLASH TOOL, its for unlocking bootloader..
after using the ez-unlock app, I turn off my tipo, connect to usb via fastboot mode, try to flash kernel, it still says that my phone is locked.
After that when I try to start my phone, it vibrate but nothing happens.. even connecting the charger have nothing on screen.. help.. T.T

i tried it too, same thing happened, don't panic though! there is a way to fix it.
get flashtool and the stock .FTF file of your phone, open flashtool, choose flash (the thunder icon) and choose flash mode.
then select your .ftf file on the left side and on the right side UNMARK "Wipe data, cache" (make sure you unmark them both so you get your phone back exactly the way it was)
below the wipe options, on "Exclude" MARK "System" (again, this is so you get your phone back exactly as it was)
then just flash (double check if wipe data and cache are unmarked and exclude system is marked) and done, your phone will be exactly where it left off
what is the reason of this happening?
The App flashed an unsecure boot.img, Please take note It will brick any phone if it is made after August 2012 and I think Tipo was made somewhere around September, besides it worked for my[cousin's Xperia Neo V
thank you now my phone can be booted. but still i cannot unlock my bootloader. can u suggest anything..?
the thing about it is, it actually DID flash the kernel even though the bootloader is locked on my Xperia E and took it into a bootloop, im wondering if there's anything we can learn from that app or maybe modify it to flash a different kernel that will actually boot?

I tried this one to my tipo. I cannot understand some of the instructions, as it is for S1. Or is it the same?

Oops... I am so sorry! It is indeed for the S1 .
Just search for a tutorial by using: ''androxyde's flashtool tutorial''.
You will probably find a tutorial for Flashtool, and how to unlock the bootloader with it!
Cheerios, and my apologies!
thanks to all. I've unlocked my phone!
Same problem.
How did you unlocked??
First, I use the official method by sonyerricson site. I retyped the code they e-mailed me. FAILED
Then, I just COPY AND PASTE the code they sent, and it works! simple as that!

i think you can install tipo drivers by going into settings ->development and check 'debugging mode'. After, connect to pc via usb and drivers should start installing
Actually drivers come in the flashtool package. After installing open c/flashtool/drivers (I'd you installed here). Then install the last 2 options (flashnode and fastboot)
which option i have to select during flash '' flash mode or fastbootmode''

If you're flashing firmware, always 'flashmode'.
The name is pretty self-explanatory. Flashing > Flashmode.
is there any way to revive from hardbrick
Only a Sony engineer or someone who knows a real lot about electronics in such a mobile can fix hard brick. Hard brick means that hardware is probably broken.
But does your phone show any sights of life? Like does the led work when you plug in the charger. Then your phone is probably not hard bricked.

Maybe try to "force" to install driver trough the Device Manager in Windows. I have Win 7 64-bit and it just would't autoinstall my device in fastboot mode. I downloaded the driver, found my device in Device Manager and right clicked and choosed Update Driver. Then I choosed the folder where I had saved the downloaded driver

I have a Sony Xperia Tipo dual (ST21i2) Android smartphone which I tried to instal CyanogenMod 10 on. I managed to unlock the device in fastboot mode (according to instruction on Sony webside) and tried to flash it, but I think that I didn't place all the right files in the right folders for flashing because according to the instruction the device should reboot after flashing, but it didn't. I waited for 15-20 minutes and nothing happened so I disconnected the device from my PC. Now the when try to turn on the device the led flashes red 3 timed, then a short pause and then again 3 red flashes and so on it loops forever. So it seems that it is not completely dead yet. When I connect the device to my computer it is not recognized. In fact, Windows does not see it at all so I can not use Sony Flash Tool. Can anyone help my how to finish te installation of CM10 on my device? I have understood that you can force Xperia Tipo to install system form SDcard. If it is true how do I do that? Which files should be put on the card and how to force boot from the SDcard?

Scroll down and see troubleshooting it might help u
Than ur drivers are not installed correctly
If drivers are installed than u must got a name like adb interface/bridge etc.
If this does not work than
Same as I said in above post
This problem can be caused by ur pc try this on any other pc
And install fastboot drivers or even u can use different USB ports some time USB ports donot work properly
Thank you for your advice. I did it. Now I face a big problem and i am terrified. I tried install fxp 205 but i made a mistake and my tipo doesn't work. My pc can't recognize it, so i can't flash ftf via flashtool. Please if you can help me!

I flashed stock ROM's some times and simlock file was ignored but my phone worked and works.
Why lock yourself to one carrier when your phone can work on many ?
Simlock as I think has nothing to do with your problem.

Unlocking the Simlock
Hello everyone, After attempting to upgrade Gingerbread to ICS on my Xperia Play I used the Testpoint to unblock the bootloader..it turns out that it is now bricked...brilliant of me, I know..using the testpoint it did allow me to use the S1tool and it finds it, however it says that it gives me the Not recognized simlock certificate error message. I used the Sony Bootloader unlock page and ran it with fastboot and it tells me that the phone is already unlocked and using *#*#7378423#*#* it says the bootloader unlock YES... I have already tried flashing the OS, it says that it´s done it but it ignores the simlock.ta and it still wont boot. All I get is a brief vibration and no led. I managed to install the ADB drivers and could enter Fastboot mode, I flashed the kernel and it recognizes it when I open Flashboot but still no boot. What can I do??
In this thread named "simlock.ta problem ignored by flashtool" it says that Mr Alejandrissimo told someone how to unlock it for 10.00, I´m not sure if that may be the solution. Can someone tell me please how to contact him so I can get that information? I´m really lost here I would definitely appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time and I apologize for the long message, I just wanted to provide as much information as I could.

Brother Flash this file it solve your problem your device will alive

It's completely normal for the flashtool to ignore the "simlock.ta". Now when you search in the service menu you have the possibility to unlock your bootloader "bootloader unlock YES". When you do it it's going to be: "bootloader unlocked YES".
You must put the device in fastboot mode by pressing the volume down button then connecting the micro USB to your phone (the USB part should already be in). Then you have a blue led notification. try using adb and search for this file "twrp2.4.3-mint" in the forum. extract the boot.img then flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img (do a little search how to do it manually). Now you should have the touch version of
TWRP recovery. Put the zip image of any ROM on a sim card then use the TWRP to flash it and get you phone running fingers-crossed.
For the SIM card, i did have another pb related to the SIM card holder pins (contact pbs)...
Anyway, good luck.
Thank You

Hi there,
I flashed stock rom using the Flashtool but didnt exclude simlock .ta (on the xperia M2). since then my phone has been simlocked.
When I connect to Flashtool it shows that the phone is unlocked also I am able to flash ftf firmwares but when I try to flassh a .img file it gives me Failure message. The same thing happens when I try to flash using the fastboot.
Emma also shows that the phone is locked!
now everything except the simcard works ok.

Unfortunately no,
It seems that the developers who already know the solution prefer to watch us!
Also I didnt have a good response from Sony Service!
The only way that I didnt try is to send your phone to the Sony repair center.
I ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY XPERIA V T25I
I just updated my Xperia V to latest android 4.3 via flashtool.
log file said
This file is ignored : simlock.ta
and now my xperia V Sim / network services stopped and it started asking network unlock PIN.
before update , it was perfectly working and was unlocked
if anybody finds solution , pls let me know
Hi all!
I'm trying to install jellybean on my xperia tipo. Once it says unlock bootloader allowed. yes. I tried many things to unlock. No results.
after using the ez-unlock app, I turn off my tipo, connect to usb via fastboot mode, try to flash kernel, it still says that my phone is locked.
After that when I try to start my phone, it vibrate but nothing happens.. even connecting the charger have nothing on screen.. help.. :crying:
Follow the Instructions in Sony as this is sure to work if you followed all the instructions http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/, If it works please hit thanks it means alot to me
I followed all the instructions. Fastboot did respond when I typed getvar. It gives 0.5. But when come to unlock, it says failed. Thanks anyway! Anybody knows how to unlock if it respond 0.5, because I always read 0.3 on other phones?

Not necessarily...
I didn't even get a response buy I unlocked bootloader..
The output is different for different devices and computer
So is your device working now??
It is always best to follow stable unlockin meathods like sony's guide or flashtool than other apps..
Explain more so that we can help
thank me if I helped you...Don't say it,hit the button...
I tried exactly using the mothod given by sony site, but it says unlock failed. When I tried ez-unlock, that's when I got the phone not working. It vibrate when I tried to start, but nothing happens. I'm currently downloading stock firmware (30% - my country's connection is very low) but I'm not sure how to flash this stock when I even can't boot my phone?
Thanks in advance.

Okay lemme explain
The phone necessarily doesn't need to boot... All we need is the phone to allow us to flash
Ever upgraded using pc companion?? After downloading files,you power off the device and then connect it with pressing volume key..
The same method is done here..
Just download the file..
Install flashtool, and its drivers from installation location,,
Now place the downloaded file in firmware folder..
Open flashtool..click the thunder icon...a pop up will come..select flashmode (always to flash firmware)
select the file you placed in firmware and click flash..
The tool will prepare the files and then it will ask you to connect.. Then,plug your usb while holding down the flashmode button (i think it it volume down)
A green led will light up and then it will do the job...when it says FINISHED, THEN AND ONLY THEN REMOVE THE DEVICE..
If you have any trouble just ask
And if you wanna make sure it will work..now itself just connect your device to computer holding down the volume down button
If green led lights up,.chances are high for your device to recover
thank me if I helped you...Don't say it,hit the button...
I've finished downloading the firmware. It was a zip file, I renamed it to FTF and pasted it as you say. Now my phone boots again. thanks! Now I want to find cm10 kernel for tipo. I can't find it in their official site..
zainal2adidin said:

How can I manually install xperia tipo drivers for flashtools?

Dude,are u sure it is not a zip to be extracted?just make sure of renaming
Now about drivers..install the drivers fromc/flashtool/drivers assuming u have installed it to root of c drive
Select fastboot and flashmode drivers at the end of drivers list in the application..
That should work..
thank me if I helped you...Don't say it,hit the button...
Thanks a lot, man!! I'm trying to flash CM10 right away. My phone is booted....

okay.to start off,i've been following this guide here to unlock my bootloader(*i dint know about xda before,as i see xda guide are way easy-,- ). so everything went fine and yes my XL are "Bootloader unlock allowed". i have followed every single step on that site and at the last step where you need to put your unlock boot loader key,this is where i think i've may screwed it up. it doesn't show any successful note or anything so i thought it was done but then again i've checked my bootloader status and it still remain the same as "Bootloader unlock allowed" which it suppose to be "Bootloader unlock done".
Okay that wasn't the worst part. so as i have failed, i decide to google about this thing and found out this guide here. so i've followed it,right up until when i need to connect my phone through BLU. this PART where i go seriously INSANE. it just that nothing happen. i've managed to enter fastboot before with sony guide but this i just dont know whats wrong with it. so ive checked up about it's and notice its probably my driver problem. so i've found this here go through with it and yet failed again. -,-
OKAY THIS IS THE WORST PART. so as i've bumped at failure and decide to give up on this thing then i've notice that my phone cannot be charged when it is off. really bump about this. i know im a newbie and i know my place.but please anyone help me on this. i dont care about unlocking my bootloader anymore, i just want my normal phone back where i can charged it when its off.

Firstly I welcome you at xda forum. Keep your calm. It will be fixed.
Now then, firstly you need to install DRIVERS for your device.
Secondly you will need to FLASH FTF firmware using FLASHTOOL after downloading FTF.
Thirdly, you need to be patient as it will take a bit of time for you as you are new to all this.
Install drivers from :
HERE
Secondly download FTF firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502970
Download flashtool :
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
Next thing you need to do is FLASH FTF to your phone.
You must paste your FTF file in your flashtool/firmwares/HERE
Next you need to turn off your phone and then hold volume DOWN key and at the same time connect your phone via USB cable to the PC.
Next , open flashtool and install FTF using the RIGHT file you put in the folder. Don't install file from Xperia x8 or something that is already present.
Flash..
You are good to go! Good Luck

but i think my driver are good,and flashtool can read my device when its on just that the problem is now,my phone cant be connected to pc when its off. so i cant flash anything atm.plus i cant charge it when it off.
i keep on thinking that maybe i've just softbricked my phone
thanks a bunch thou for your help. but i think theres nothing i can do here.i've give up.plus the phone are working fine anyway,just that i cant flash anything thou. which is sucks but i'll manage it thou,somehow
Did you press vol down for flashmod and vol up for fastboot?
Open flashtool, don't click on any button just push vol down and push usb cable, then you will see if flashtool recognize your phone or will ask for drivers.

yes,i have done that 1000x times,and still nothing seems to work.i've even waited almost 1/2 an hour as i think it maybe take some time to load up but then again...nothing
i think the main problem is why my phone cannot be charged when it was off. as it does fine when i first got it? this is the real question because i think if your phone cant recognized the usb input while it was off then how the hell it gonna be discovered into flashmode or even flashboot. this is whats bugging me.
p.s,yes i have tried to flash with other computer,and still got the same result.
Try install adb driver with flastool drivers..you can find it under drivers folder via flashtool
Your bootloader is not unlocked and you can give it to service without problems.Maybe usb is broken. Use it till phone shut down, go to service and tell them that it don't want to charge.
