I require help (Sony XPERIA E)

Hey everyone!
I'm new to JOINING this forum. However I have been taking bits of this forum for a few months now. I am a well experienced user when it comes to android development and rooting, but one thing I need to know - is about the Xperia E.
I hate the processor of the phone. 1GHz with 512MB is not enough, but I can change my RAM to 1GB with Root Apps and I want to use the full potential of the 1GHz Processor. I have tried rooting 3 phones, it turned successful, and next is the Xperia E. But Rooting seems dodgy and first I want to try Framaroot.
I had tried Framaroot 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5.1. All with Aragon or Gandalf, and none worked.
My phone is clearly listen as C1505 on the Compatibility list. So why is this not working?
I need help on this. And if there is any other way on rooting the device safely so it cannot be bricks nor severly damaged, I will do.
Phone - Sony Xperia E
Android - 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
4GB (3.64GB) SD Card
Framaroot V1.8.0 (Not working
3.4.0/11.3.A.2.13

Try kingo android root- google for it

Ehh. Could that brick?

Thanks Guys, I used Kingo Android Root and successfully rooted my device. One thing though - The Sound went temporarily and wi-fi didn't work completely until I rebooted about three times. Mobile Data worked fine as well as the processor, just nothing else. Why?

It was working fine guys until I downloaded LCD Density. I put it too 300 for a little experience test.
A Bad way to go - My phone can charge, connect to PC Companion and Update Service, but is stuck at the Sony Screen.
When trying to repair at the Sony Companion, it says 'Already Latest Drivers'. When trying to us SUS, it says the same. I cannot get into flashmode and I don't have an unlocked bootloader. I'm on Kingo Android Root with SuperSU, LCD Density, Frills CPU Control, an some other root app. I need help for XPERIA E fast, because it's the only phone have in my current price range and I need to restore it to default. Any ideas?

Are you sure you can't get into Flashmode?
You could try this:
Connect your phone with your PC. Open up device manager(google on how to open, if you don't know). Click with the right mouse on your Xperia E's drivers and select "delete" or "uninstall".
Now: disconnect your phone, and connect it again. Windows will most likely ask you to install drivers. Ignore it!
Now try to repair with PC Companion or use SUS.
They should ask you to install the drivers(not 100% sure...). Let it, and then perform the steps.
It may work, but I can't guarantee it will!
Hope I helped an have a nice day!
PS. Tip: never do anything(use an app, flash a tweak) until you're absolutely sure it won't mess up your device

If you had read the thread on how to root the Xperia E then you wouldn't be in this mess. You would also know that you can't root the latest firmware. You have to downgrade, root, then OTA update - or - flash older kernel, root, flash new kernel.
Reading would have prevented this.

It is possible with cydiaimpactor or kingo without downgrading .

Actually if you were smart, you would've flashed lower JB kernel from last firmware which was rootable then root then flash the Latest JB kernel

You can also try this:
1. Download Flashtool and install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 Then download this, and put it in your Flashtool firmwares folder: http://d-h.st/ufn
2. Open Flashtool, and click the lightning icon. Select Flashmode, then press OK. Choose the 11.3.A.0.47 and click Flash. (Warning: everything on your phone [other than the microSD card and internal storage for music etc.] will be deleted!)
3. When it tells you to hold the back button on your phone and stuff, turn off the phone, hold the volume down button, and holding the button, plug the phone in. It'll be flashed.
4. When it's flashed, Flashtool will read: "Disconnect your device and power it on" or something like that. Do as it says.
5. Hopefully you'll be on the 0.47 firmware, which is compatible with Framaroot. You can use the Gandalf exploit to root your phone.

Yeh, I did read the kernel thing however I thought Kingo did it for you. And it wasn't the Rooting, it was the LCD Density too high to load up the phone because it was working fine before (correct if im wrong). I did the flashtool however there is no option for my kernel and it says my phone cannot officially be unlocked thing. I will try device manager

Wait...I have device manager up, my xperia e connects to the device manager, but I can't find the Xperia E on the device manager. There was a Sony ericcsson thing I deleted; my computer still works fine but no software available stll for Xperia E. What would the Xperia E (C1505) be called in the device manager?

Please help, i uninstalled xperia e drivers but still says no update available. I can get in flashmoe however bootloader LOCKED.

Wait. So you can get into flashmode?
Well, the it doesn't matter if your bootloader is locked You can still flash!
Just download Androxyde's flashtool and flash a stock .ftf firmware.
If you want a guide I can sent you a link later, but now I'm on my phone, so...
Success, and have a nice day

sin error? That means you tried to flash a .ftf that isn't made for your device. You have probably the wrong firmware
Use this one instead: http://d-h.st/ufn
Succes!

Mine has that exact kernel, but I'll try it anyway. I'll give you results once found my usb.

Thank you for ur reply, yes bootloader was unlocked and I was trying to install the custom rom but after restarting my xperia L never started again. Black dead...no logo just red LED blinking and I tried key combination but nothing. To repair through sus and flash tool it should be recognized by the pc. Its being recognized as unknown device by pc and did try to install driver manually but no luck. In both sus and flash tool I found message no phone attached.
Plz guide me.

Thanx, Before this issue with my Xperia L I was using PC companion and I guess this already installed drivers but now neither PC companion/SUS nor flash is detecting my phone. I am using windows 8 currently but I also tried on windows 7 to install the drivers but no luck. My friend suggested that I need a boot loader as all the data in my Xperia L has been washed out due to bad flashing. In my country no boot loader device available for Sony Xperia 2013 models. Any alternate solutions?

Bootloader..?!! I think you don't have any kernel in your phone currently that's why it isn't recognizing your phone by the PC.. Try using SUS on Windows 7..make sure your driver's are installed properly.. Either through SUS or Flashtool..
If your phone is Not Recognized by Flashtool that means you don't have Required Drivers Installed. Use the Below method to Solve this Problem.
Open the folder /Flashtool/drivers & Install "ggsetup-2.2.0.11".
If Still after the Above Process Flashtool doesn't Recognize your Phone. Use this Method.
Open the /Flashtool/driver folder & Extract the "XXX_ADB_Driver.zip" anywhere on your PC/Mac/Linux. [ This Zip corresponds to your Phone Model. ]
Now Open "Device Manager" on your PC/Mac/Linux & find the device which is with an Exclamation mark on it. [ Make sure your phone is Connected to the PC ]
Right Click on that Device & Choose Update Driver.
Choose to find the Driver Manually.
Now Browse to the Folder where to have Extracted your Phone Model Zip File.
This will Install the Required Drivers on your Computer.
After that Open Flashtool Again & Try to Recognize your Device.
If Still you see any problem reply back for further assistance..
Hit Thanks if I helped you..

Hi pervenkal, try varunpilankar steps, I too faced this issue while flashing my Xperia L for the first time, 7 months ago. But it is most probably driver issue, during that time I tried lots of drivers even the one given with flashtool, but finally drivers from ADT bundle helped me.

U try to charge the phone??
Blinking red ligth is for no batery power
Maybe is this the problem
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The red blinking light sounds like your battery is low, I read about someone who had do e this not long ago. Couldn't boot tinto recovery because they had insufficient charge. Charge your phone on mains power for an hour, and then try flashtool again. But make sure you wipe everything.

First, Which phone you have, c1905 is Xperia M
Second, Flashing Xperia M ftf to Xperia L is a guaranteed brick ==
i don't think it can be fixed without a complate nand rewrite. just a assumption

@asad69 have you checked wipe data and wipe cache when you flashed with flash tool?

[Xperia J] Flash Mode + Fastboot = 'USB Device Not Recognized'

Hello Everyone, So i have a Sony Xperia J Unlocked Boot Loader + Custom MIUI Rom, I wanted to go back to stock rom, but when i use flashtool and place my device on flashmode a green LED indicates on my device like usual but on my pc screen it says ' USB Device not Recognized' so now i can't flash stock ftf, is there any other way to get to stock rom or any way to resolve this problem?
(I have a 64-Bit Windows 8.1 Laptop)

First select ftf that you want to flash on Flashtool, wait for pop-up window that tells to connect your phone than connect your phone. If you have drivers installed and disabled drivers verification it should work.
Good Luck

Trouble shooting Sony Xperia Z3 (D6616)

Guys, I am in desperate need of help to resolve my issue.
I have a T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z3 (D6616). Last night I went to flash Existenz Y in XZ Dual Recovery and when I rebooted the phone does not respond to anything. The ONLY thing I can do is hold down volume down and power and it boots up in the Android recovery screen, but any executed command here the phone just turns itself off. If I put the phone to charge the red LED comes on and the phone just vibrates on and off continuously.
The problem I am having is that for whatever reason the FTF stock file is not showing up in Flash tool. I can't drag it into the flash tool window, and using Xperim in flash tool when I find my model and click on the file nothing happens.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything. I have the stock FTF on hand, as well as the XZ dual recover file, and the existenxz Y .zip file. I just can't for the life of me get flash tool to populate the FTF file in the window when I go to flash?
I have tried using PC companion to fix/repair the phone as well. I connect the phone and it recognizes it but when I click to fix it and the window pops up asking to connect your phone and hit ok, i hit ok and the window just flashes and stays in place. I do nopt know what to do anymore and been without my phone for a day now already. Just need to figure out why the FTF is not showing in flash tool.
Thanks
Edit: Phone was rooted with kingroot, then Supersu was installed to replace kingroot. Root was verified. I am aware that this doesn't unlock the boo tloader on this phone.

I was able to use Flash tool on my Macbook Pro. For whatever reason in windows it's not recognizing the drivers or the stock ROM. So I rooted the Phone again with kingroot, after installing stock ROM, then installed Supersu, then installed XZ Dualrecovery. Wiped the phone, and for the second time installed existenz Y on the phones internal memory. Selected it in recovery, installed it. When In went to reboot the phone it did the same thing again. Not sure why Exiztenz Y is not working for me........
Edit: I restored my Windows laptop to factory settings and re-installed flashtool and now it's working.

Sony Xperia E3 Bricked

I tried to put AOSP 5.1 from FXP in my phone, and my cellphone bricked. It wont turn on, it keeps the Sony Logo 2 seconds. It haven't connection with flashtool. Please Help me.

Hi. Can you give me more information what you did exactly step by step. So maybe i can help you. My E3 was bricked too. I found a solution. But i need more information.

Flash stock rom it'll unbrick it

Thank you answer back! I did exactly the following:
The model is my Xperia E3 D2212 dual sim.
- Unlocked the bootloader, :laugh:
- CWM installed a custom recovery, :laugh:
- I reinstalled the original rom, :laugh:
- I made a backup of the entire system using CWM.
And everything went super normal way, without complications.
The mistake was when he wanted to installing a custom ROM called "AOSP_L_MR1_150718_flamingo" because I found out later that he had not read that it was for ANOTHER XPERIA as follow the you tube tutorial . The ROM's for another Xperia, if I remember correctly.
After doing the installation process of the new AOSP ROM, the phone is less than a minute on the logo of SONY XPERIA down with, looped, can not enter the bootloader, and no longer recognizes the PC. I can not recognize it at FlashTool. I think that's all. :crying:
I greatly appreciate your attention.
I ended up editing this text in the google translator, then I'm sorry, if you are not very good.
Thank you

The PC Companion software tells recognize it, but when you are installing the software says "it is not possible for this phone is changed." I can not scessar the bootloader does not give time and it shuts down.

Thanks, my error was with the fastboot driver and adb in flashtool. The Windows drivers wasn't been recognized, I've to install the drivers, all of they. After this, I Flashed the Stcok ROM, installed SuperSU and Restored the backup, everything works fine and fluid now. Thanks, anyway, for encouraging me.

I flashed my D2203 back to factory rom yesterday using Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php) on Windows 7 PC.
How did I do it:
1) Install flashtool
2) Install Flashtool-drivers.exe from flashtool subfolder /drivers and select flashmode and fastboot drivers.
3) Run Flashtool and open XperiFirm (letters XF on logo)
4) Select Xperia E3 Flamingo -> proper D22** you have -> Market -> and select latest release below PayPal logo
5) Press "Download" and wait for download and unpacking
6) Switch off phone (if power on/off button does not respond then open back cover and push "OFF" by using pen)
7) Press and hold volume down button and connect phone to PC using original USB cable
8) Using Flashmode flash device
