[ROM & ROOT]
Here we are going to install a mix of two ROMs in order to make the phone usable again..
You need to download these files;
SP Flash Tool;
http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/6833714/file.html
e1901;
http://www.4shared.com/file/9bsP-vQV/
e1920 (this should be original system, but when you install just this,
some red triangle appears and system will not continiue to load, so just do it like I will show you in this tutorial);
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=506476&uk=4178083362
Then, first you need to flash entire e1901 ROM to your phone, using flash tool..
After that you will need to flash only first six parts of e1920 ROM, it is shown in Pic0;

}
Also then download this; http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/70264800/file.html
Flash that recovery.img alone without any other part of ROM (that is Clockworkmod Recovery PORT)..
Now download this file; http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/52522093/file.html
That is ROOT for your phone, you need to put that file on your SD card and then put battery in your cellphone, pres Volume UP and Power Button together, that will send you to CWM recovery, from there install that file from your SD card, and restart your phone..
If it forces you to CWMR, just flash again the first six parts of e1920 ROM, and when you start your phone it should work fine..
But now You will have to SET your IMEI number becouse this is factory ROM, I am actually not sure how to do that, becouse I did not need that ( ..I have my CWM backups from before.. ..) ..so on that one you are on your own, but yes now you have ROOTed working phone again so it should not be that difficult to pull that off..
[UNBRICK]
Now I will post some pictures on how to unbrick your phone in case you get it hard bricked by trying out some other ROMs..
You will need to conect KCOLO and GND(or any other ground surfice on the phone), connect your phone with USB and start flashing the ROMs (like it is explained earlyer), pictures showing how to connect your phone and create a "jumper" are Pic1 and Pic2;

Pic2
This will make your phone usable again.. and it is very stable.. maybe later I will try to make even better ROM, but for now this is it..
Special thanx to Mr. Dirk from ColonelZAP who helped me with unbricking the phone!!!
If this little tutorial helpd you just remember to hit THANX button.

Okay here is the way to enter you imei number;

How to root your xperia miro without downgrade firmware

Hi bro, i just wanna help those people who want to root their phone without downgrading. It tested, and work on my Miro on stock firmware 11.0.A.5.5 Okay, all you need is :
1. UnlockRoot (You can download it here)
2. Xperia Miro / Xperia Device (I think this guide will work for most 2011/2012 xperia devices)
3. PdaNet (Needed for Xperia driver. Download here)
ROOTING YOUR DEVICE MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
The steps is :
1. go to your setting phone, and check the USB Debugging in Developers section
2. still at the setting, go to application section, and check the Unknown Source
3. Download the UnlockRoot software, and extract it.
4. Download the PdaNet, and install it. If PdaNet asked the device, select other. If you got this message, then click Install Anyway

}
5. If needed, restart your PC/laptop. (If you are in win7/win8, when you are in boot, push the F8 button, and then select Disable Driver Signature. And then install the PdaNet)
6. After restarting your PC, then plug your phone on.
7. Run the UnlockRoot software, and click root!
8. Cheers! Your phone is rooted, check your phone if there is a SuperSU app. If there is SuperSU app, you're successfully rooting your phone
Sorry, if you still got a question, you can post it here or PM me Sorry for my bad english, this is my second thread

Does it need internet for anything?

No, you dont need any internet connection after downloading those files. If you dont need PdaNet (PdaNet used to connect to the internet using your phone as modem), then exit it. Its ok

my device does connect
I follow ur all steps but its show ur device does not connect

systemui has stopped

Hi, hope someone can assist.
My wife's changed the wallpaper on her M2 earlier. It caused the systemui to force close, and has gone in to an endless loop of force closing.
It won't connect to the Sony Companion app, and USB debugging is not enabled so I can't adb.
The phone is completely stock, not rooted, locked bootloader, no custom recovery etc.
The only thing I can do is power and volume up to reboot. It still misbehaves in Safe Mode.
Any idea how I can sort this? Preferably without losing data.
I don't have any experience with Sony devices, not even sure how to boot to the bootloader
Thanks.

Fc of wallpaper change?!
Can you change it?
Try repair with pc companion or flash ftf with Flashtool in both ways you loose data.
Good luck.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, thanks mate, sorted it last night. I ended up flashing with Flashtool.
It was weird - I think she somehow interrupted the process when it was changing.
The bootloader set up is weird on this phone - hold volume down with the phone off and plug in for fastboot?! No image to tell you you're in the bootloader/fastboot?!
I think next time she gets a new one I'll make her get a Nexus!

Glad you sorted out. You only got blue led to know your in bootloader and that's it. ? Now it won't be that hard to convince her to get Nexus
All the Best

I know but...
I know it's solved but when you flash untick the data and cache and it'll stay the same letting all your data intact (well if you have root explorer you'll know they're the different folder /ext, /system, and ext. and all it does it not reset the /data BUT, games may reply on android ID so you may lose data on some things.

[Solved] Help on downgrading to backup TA at E6633

Hello! I'm a little bit new here.
I'm trying to backup my TA before I unlock the bootloader and root my phone. I'm following this guide and I'm currently stuck on the downgrading part as I couldn't find a FTF file for my Z5 Dual (E6633). I did search around and found this but when I opened up Flashtool and looked at the firmwares, it was listed as E6653. I don't want to risk bricking my phone, so I'm posting this to ask for help and clarity. Should I downgrade just to backup my TA files? Do you guys have a legit FTF file of 32.0.A.6.152 for E6633? Thanks.

}
EDIT:
After searching around and confirming that the Universal TA Backup v2 works on 6.0.1 (Marshmellow) which the E6633 has a version for, I started to downgrade from there. Long story short, I succeeded in backing up my TA!
Here's a how-to step-by-step of what I did if ever you have the same device as me. Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6633)
Requirements:
- Flashtool
- Z5 Drivers
- Any E6633 firmware up to 6.0.1 (I used this)
- Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2
1. Place the firmware you downloaded at ..\.flashTool\firmwares. This is usually located at %userprofile%.
2. Open Flashtool. Let it do its thing if you ran it the first time.
3. Plug in your device. Flashtool should detect your device.
4. Click the lightning () icon. Leave it at flashmode, and press OK.
5. Select the firmware you've downloaded. If you downloaded what I used, select Central Europe 1 Generic > 32.1.A.1.185_R6C.
6. Tick all the options in Wipe Sin. Do not tick any other boxes in Wipe Misc TA, Exclude Sin & Misc TA.
7. Flash. Follow the instructions of what Flashtool tells you to do.
8. Setup your device.
9. Enable developer settings.
10. Turn on USB Debugging.
11. (Extract backupTA_v2.zip if you haven't before) Run backupTA.cmd.
12. If prompted by the device, allow USB debugging.
13. backupTA_v2 will tell you it's successful. To double-check, your TA.img should be approximately 2MB or 2,048KB.
