That's probally cause you've either rooted your phone or your bootloader is unlocked.
So you're gonna have to flash an ftf.
Have a look here

I don't understand your English properly, but I'll try to cooperate. Look if you want to 'update' like I said earlier, flash an ftf. (the latest version) it seems you've unlocked your bootloaders and I doubt you know how to relock it.

Just choose 3) Other as an option in the application, write the password of your backup, leave the phone a few minutes to restart and the application to push the root inside the ICS and voila! YOUR DEVICE JUST GOT ROOTED.
ENJOY!

ROOT Sony XPERIA TIPO (ST21): at today Oct./06th/2012 ONLY THIS ONE WORKS!
My Sony XPERIA TIPO (ST21) with last version of system update by SONY site yesterday oct./5th/2012, works fine only with this program (ROOT):
hXXp://uploaded.net/file/9o4swxaa (flashtool-0.9.8.0-windows.exe 106,57 MB)
their homepage hXXp://androxyde.github.com/
Use option TOOLS -> ROOT -> Force AdbRestore hack (The last method in list - the only one that works!).
Take care that at the moment NO other system around works fine and fully to ROOT it!
Hurry up since SONY take the way to block also this one.
Do not forget to offer them at least a small beer (donate!)! Please let me underline that I am not in the junction with them, only I am happy that they find a system really works (for free!) and I would like to spread the solution around.
<------ FEW THANKS TO ME WILL BE VERY APRECIATED (SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ONE YET)

Hey buddy as I said earlier on phone you need not have android sdk to root your phone
First delete all the Sony software and drivers from your PC then connect your phone and just allow windows to recognize your phone and install all the drivers automatically (you need good internet speed for windows to successfully install the drivers)
Alternate :Install those drivers I gave you after deleting all Sony software and driver stuff

So, these are official Sony's firmware files for Xperia Miro. This is Sony's factory rom. These can be useful to unbrick your phone, return to stock, cook roms, update firmware, debrand your phone...and so on
These firmwares are generic. That means they are global - international - anyone from any country could flash them
Please remember that there is small chance of bricking your device - Flashing your mobile phone is fully on your own risk and I do not take responsibility for anything happened!

- Can I flash this on another phone that is similar to Miro? - No!
- Can I flash this on SIM-Locked phone. - Yes.
- Can I flash this on both Locked/Unlocked bootloaders. - Yes.

Android 4.0.4 - Ice Cream Sandwich
Differences between ST23a and ST23i are different 3G frequencies. ST23a are phones usually bought in American Continent (I think north of America).
And ST23i is usually bought in Europe and other parts of the world. It is reported that if you flash one version on another everything will work.
EDIT: I stopped supporting this thread and deleted all Xperia Miro files from my HDD. I uploaded all files here one last time if they are useful to someone.
ST23i
Firmware files
ROOT and Clockworkmod
​
Extras:
How gain superuser access (How to root your phone)​- Works for both bootloaders.
- Enable USB Debugging and Unknown sources.
- Must have PC Companion installed for drivers (if does not work try with C://flashtool/drivers).
1. You must be on 11.0.A.2.10 firmware.
2. Download ROOT for 11.0.A.2.10
- 1 Plug your phone
- 2 Open it
- 3 Choose Option 1
3. Download ROOT 2.10 to 5.5. (If you did not unlock your bootloader then simply accept OTA update).
4. Install Clockworkmod for 5.5.

I think someone mention that you have to add the loader.sin as on attachment to make it work.
Use 7zip to open ftf file and drag it to the 7zip window
loader.zip
and try this, but I get the same error.
flashing 4.0.4 - 11.0.A.5.5 its ok!

Do you unzip it before place into ftf ?
Make sure you choose the option not to verify when you flash.

I updated my XJ and i see that multitasking is much better than before! The system is much smooth
wait untill the cache partition builds up
I have to say also that this update is so far much better.
Antutu is able to perform complete benchmarking (3D crashed and the result was 3000 and something), and the result is 4464. Much better than before. Also 2 or 3 more widgets, and I have nothing to complain so far... Only that there isn't yet a rooting method without unlocking bootloader.
ftf please
please update more.

In the meanwhile, can someone explain to me why with my X10 mini pro I had a smal ftf file (Kernel) and a large rom file, and the ftf for these phones is 400 MB?? I suspect this is not JUST the kernel... I think I saw small FTF files for this phone, and also these large files. Guess the large are for unlocked bootloaders, flash all at once...?
No OTA update this time?
Those small .ftf is custom made. The big ones, especially from update service blob_fs folder, contains all the stuff to flash. A clean, untouched, unrooted .ftf can be bigger than 400mb. Too bad, samsung users cant make their own odin files. Your x10mini rom might come with instructions like this: flash this .ftf via flash. Throw the .zip in microsd. Boot to cwm and flash the .zip. Thats why the .ftf is so small.

I think this is the proper way to share files publically.

And also in attachement is the log from my flashtool.
Is this it?
You can be the first ever to thank me.
I'm not breaking any laws here, am I...? I think these FTF files don't "suffer" from copyright issues...
I got the update too.
I just installed it and I'm waiting for it to finish!
Sadly it wasn't OTA which means I still can't root ICS and update OTA to this one .
Edit// Feels the same to me...I didn't have any problems with the lag before so it seems to move the same.
I would really like that someone found a rooting exploit for this fw. Missing my titanium explorer to remove All the crappy apps that come with the phone.

See if you have 2 or 3 more widgets with favorite contacts, and I think 3D is much better. Benchmark with antutu to verify that. I had 3000 and something befor, due to 3D. Now I have 4464.
What I really think is a flaw is the bottom led not lighting up with notifications, only if I put the screen on. I already have the app to solve that issue, but it should be embedd in the phone...

To make every single app downloadable
Gain ROOT access
Download Xposed Installer
Download All Apps in Play Store
Go to the module in the Xposed app and enable No restrictions
Clear Play Store cache & reboot
With this you can download every single app, as example you can download WhatsApp on your tablet.

#Fix @uremytoy i have updated op thank you for pointing my mistake i have updated OP with new tweak in addition to this one see it and it will work now offcourse reboot after you apply the tweak before testing backup your build prop too.
no i guess its game problem, not yours. gameloft is ****ty company that instead of making their games to wrok on newer android versions, they just put it as unsupported ^^ same way why u cant play nova2 on ics+

Edit its incompatible not on gplay but ingame XD Gameloft are you kiddin me ?
i downloaded it from google play after editing build.prop, cuz before it was unsupported, after editing it is. but when i run the game it says that i should ask for refund, bcoz the device is unsuported game is free u can check it by yourself

Ya i checked it out same outcome as you try other games
its like i said before. gameloft doesnt want to make games work one never device so instead they put it as unsupported ^^ i also tried before nova 1, sandstorm, nova 2 all of them crash ^^while nova 1 and sandstorm (modded for hvga screen) works flawlessly on my xperia x8 ^^ anyway great work i guess other games will work

@WahajAyub , @uremytoy is correct its tested trick on my Sony Xperia L and also by @uremytoy as you can see the comments i think so you messed another file or changed the files permission you will have to reflash firmware via flashtool to get your xl started or via SEUS too

As i have also told in the above reply, do set the permission/attributes to -rw-r--r- and then reboot do recheck the attribute
Or u can use UnknowDevice app to faking your Xperia L
No need to touching build.prop

Hi,
Sorry for my stupidity. After trying it two times, I got scared, until recently, when I tried the Build.Prop Editor app and it worked flawlessly. It really simplifies the editing and setting the permissions.
Again, I am sorry for wasting your time.
Best Regards,
WahajAyub
@WahajAyub nice info i will add it to op to use build.prop editor

Download the OTA Package above.
Then check for updates in the updater app.
If the updater app finds an update download it but don't install it.
Go to files and find the downloaded OTA package.
Replace the OTA package in the ota_package folder with the new one ive linked above (CHANGE THE NAME OF THE OTA PACKAGE IVE SENT YOU EXACTKY TO THE ONE THAT IS LOCATED IN OTA_PACKAGE FOLDER)
After replacing the file, then go to the updater app again and install it.
This is a theorized method, I am not responsible for any errors that occur and this method is made from other similar XDA posts.

It's sad NEWS, but no one has been able to do it for 4-5 months since the release of the Chinese version in March and the release of the global version in April.
HOW TO is from blackshark3.
