Dear members, I have a sony tipo dual. I tried to install cm10 on it, and was successful but later when i inserted the sim i came to know that CM10 doesn't support tipo dual.
Now my problem:
1. I tried to use PC Companion and go back to original Firmware but it says "Phone has modified software. It cannot be updated."
2. I tried to flash it with a Central Europe stock, but everytime i do that it throws an error and stops.
3. I am not able to copy the Gimlo firmware on the phone. Whenever i try to copy it says "Cannot copy item. The device disconnected or stopped working."
4. I tried using fastboot and install the .sin files but I was able to install only the kernel.sin. While installing the system.sin i gave an error of Too large file.
I have attached the flashtool's log
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - Unable to read from phone after having opened it.
=============================================================at this point my phone restarts
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - trying to continue anyway
Now i just want to restore this phone to its original software. The biggest mistake i did was not to keep a backup when i installed CM10.
Please help me...
Perhaps Sony Update Service. So flashing a stock kernel doesn't work? Have you unticked TA/no final verification?
Sometimes this works! Try that first and otherwise Sony Update Service.
Success, and good luck!

Hi,
I have already tried using the Update service, but i get the same error "Modified Software".
Also the most irritating things is that I am not able to copy anything on the phone when I connecct it to my pc.
I tried disabling the TA/ Final verification, but this is not helping either.
Guys plz help.... the phone restarts during the flashboot process..
Edit:
I was trying to edit the build.prop file.. If this works can I use Sony Update service to reinstall the original software?
Can anyone please share the original build.prop file for tipo dual. I dont have the original one and my current build.prop file shows the device as ST21i (Sony Tipo) whereas it should be ST21i2 (Sony Tipo Dual).
Expecting your help...

A couple options:
Hello fonetalker101,
I'm not a pro in these things and my device isn't the Tipo, but the Xperia E. I have a friend who owns a Tipo, and he got a problem similar to this one, so I'm trying to help you out
Allright, first of all, I think a SIN error means that Flashtool cannot flash the System files, which are the most important thing in a stock ftf(after the Kernel!), but please correct me if I'm wrong!
You have a couple of options you can try:
1. See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567 and scroll all the way down to the end of the first post, it says: What to do if you get sin header verification error? That is exactly what you're facing! Follow the instructions.
2. Find a relock-bootloader file for the tipo and flash it with Flashtool( if you can't find anything, or if you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, just ask me for it, and I will try to help you!) If it works try to flash the stock .ftf again. If that doesn't help try to update your system with Sony Update Service, google it, you can find it on the official Sony website!)
3. Repair with Sony PC Companion 2.1 and flash the .ftf file again!
But I think that option 1 will work for you, because I faced the same problem when I had my friends Tipo to root it.
P.S. Use Google! When I searched for: sony tipo st21i ftf, my second result was the link in step 1... But nevermind, I'm happy to help people, so don't bother
Download sony update service(Google it) and update your phone, this will surely work. Hope I helped u

Hi! My name is Petar and i new here at xda-developers. First of all I am not a developer and I do not have knowledge as much as you guys. I am here to ask for help. I have very very very BIG problem with my phone. It is Sony Xperia Miro. The phone is not expensive, but it is very very important to me. The phone was working perfectly untill i flashed cyanogen mod 10 JB mesina (i found mesina is the name for xperia miro). I know that Miro doesnt support JB officialy, but i found a video on You-Tube about un-official JB on Xperia Miro. Here is what i did:
-Rooted and unlocked bootloader using UnLock Root program (I verified the root with RootChecker app).
-Installed Clockwork mode.
-made a backup (nandroid).
-delete and wipe all data with clockwork.
-flash new rom ( Cyanogen mod 10 JB Mesina).
-after flashing completed 100%, the phone turned off ( the phone was fully 100% charged before doing all this).
-I tried to turn on the phone but i only get a single vibration (No led, No screen working, No sound).
-I tried to connect the phone to PC and restore original ICS using Sony PC Companion, but my PC doesnt detect my phone because unlocked bootloader.
-So i put the phone on charge for 6 days.
-Yesterday i took the phone off the charge and pushed it on. The phone didnt turn on, but i didnt even get a vibration only now i get is blinking RED LIGHT at top of the phone.
-I contacted you !
I read thousands of posts here on xda and everywhere on Google about fixing this. But I only found tutorials and fixes for other Xperias ( Z, S, J etc.), but not for my cheap miro ... Please guys i need to fix my phone really soon, please in name of the LORD , help me.. Thank you ):
you downloaded mesona cm10 zip file right? there is one boot.img file inside it, try to flash it first(using flashtool..search how to)
put cm10 for mesona on your sd card and after flashing boot.img go to recovery and flash the rom.
in case your pc does not detect your phone you should try on some other pc.
red led means your phone is not dead yet.
please step by step

Hey guys,
I have a sony xperia j:
I was deleting some apps with titanium backup when i removed the app called: sony ericson home. (very stupid)
Now my cellphone won't startup, i only get sony as startup screen and i can"t get usb connection with computer.
Someone knows how to solve this?
I have a sd card that connect with phone and computer if that can help
Kind regards!
Hi, you can find an original home apk, flash cwm via flashtool and push apk with adb or something like that
Sorry for be useless but I dont know so much about cwm, only used for flash roms or gapps
Second option is flash entire stock ftf
Pd: you have to unlock bl for this

SONY XPERIA MIRO (ST23I) GONE BLACK !!!
Hi MR./MASTER./MRS
My phone just stopped after installing 'Jelly Bean Mini Project ROM'. I flashed from ext SD, but ended in bricking it. Now I cant use my phone.
Only Black screen ,vibrate when I press power button AND tuning between Green LED and Blue LED can be done any time
Now when I try to flash the phone with official (ftf) firmware with flashboot, the error says:
" 30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."
I'm sure that I hv installed as it says, but still the error shows up.
P.S I have done nothing with Bootloader
Picture of FLASHTOOL error saying and SONY XPERIA MIRO connected is in attachment.
What am I suppose to do?
A BIG THANKS FOR HELPERS!!

Download Sony PC Companion .
Connect your phone in firmware flashing mode.
it will automatically install the required drivers.
And make sure to put the firmware ftf file into the folder named 'firmwares' of flashtool.
Please press the thanks button on the bottom right corner of this post if I helped you.

Don't worry, Your phone is not hard bricked. As you mentioned that on starting , phone is vibrating that means there are chances to recover your phone.
1.First go through this guide :Using Flashtool
2.Download your current stock firmware . Visit this: Miro all official firmwares
3.Install proper drivers as mentioned in the above 1.flashtool guide.
4.Flash the firmware for your phone , according to the above 1. Flastool guide.
5.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.
Good luck

I had a rooted Xperia Z1 Compact running KitKat. I got the update within my device for lollipop. It has downloaded and finished but there was error and couldn't update. Then I tried to flash firmware using flashtool and I got error and couldn't finish the flashing process. Since them my phone doesn't start. It only show sony xperia logo and black screen. Flashtool recognize it in flash mode but some error. I'm stuck now and I need your help. Once phone boot, flash tool recognize it connected with USB Debugging off although it was on before I flash it first time. Lollipop firmware was installed from Xperifirm. I have attached screen print showing error from flashtool if it can help.

Fahadam, I did not find a solution to upgrade the firmware, but managed to get my phone working properly again.
I downloaded the version of the firmware corresponding to my Carrier from Xperi firm (the version I used before flashing my device), and excluded every single file except "SYSTEM".
I'm still on Kitkat now but at least I have my phone back
Hope that helps
Solved. I just flashed lollipop firmware excluding everything except system. Now mobile is working having lollipop 5.0.2
