Hello to all,
I am unexperienced so, please, if you have any ideas about how to do that work, that would be great. Thanking you in advance.
I have just tried to root my Sola, after countless tries. I failed all the way. However, I believe this time was for good.
I will post the threads I used and I will also post the steps followed:
1) I had done bootloader unlock through the official page of Sony with the IMEA, etc.
2) I opened today the flashtool and tried to do the flashing of kernel.
3) I downloaded a file named as: Sola-DooMLoRD-AdvStkKernel-v01-test1.elf.
4) I used flashtool and did it on fastboot mode.
5) I selected the above mentioned kernel for flashing and then pressed to reboot.
That was it. I tried to open the phone and the only thing that I get is the name "SONY".
The screen screens the LOGO and then closes. And again and again.
URLs Followed:
rootmyandroid.org/root-xperia-sola.html
theunlockr.com/2013/09/10/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-sola-running-6-1-1-b-1-54-firmware/ (unsuccessfully because I couldn't flash with flashmode.. the "return" and "plug-in" steps were never successful).
android.gs/how-to-root-sony-xperia-sola/ (THis was followed at most).
If you could help, that would be much appreciated.

It's not normal in the sense that it's not turning on. But what has happened is something went wrong in the proccess and your kernel isn't booting. But because you can reach the Sony logo you will be able to recover your phone.
Try the steps in the rooting thread I linked and you can also ask here for further help on your issue: Xperia P, U, Sola, Go Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My device is C6903 (14.4.a.0.108) bought from the Philippines. It's already rooted and has an unlocked bootloader.
The problem is when I installed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699803 it now wouldn't boot it just shows the Sony logo and after 2 minutes or so it just blacked out. but when i tap the screen on a dark room the screen shows the black background without the sony logo and after a moment it darkened again like its in lock screen (Its really hard to describe).
I flashed it using fastboot. with this command
/ fastboot flash boot boot.img / and after I input this command
/ fastboot reboot /.
Its still charging and it shows the battery icon when charging on an off state. It can still be recognized by fastboot when i connected it to the computer.
Ive already hard reset it using the button on the sim card slot and the other method the power button and the volume up. It didn't really helped. help me guys Im new in this flashing methods. What should I do?
Hi,
Did you read the requirements at the beginning of post number 1? Did you meet those requirements? The best place to ask about this is in the kernel thread you linked in your post. If that doesn't help you, you can ask for help here....
> Sony Xperia Z1 > Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Any future questions can be asked in the above section also.
Good luck!

thanks for replying. I have managed to get out of the situation but now I'm facing another one. My phone is now on boot loop. I tried using flashtool but it wouldn't work. While on flashboot doing its job, my phone would just boot up and go again on a boot loop. flashtool log would just say device disconnected.
I think I found a way to do another trick using fastboot but I don't have a custom recovery installed. Is there any way that I can install CWM or any tools like it using only fastboot? I've been looking for it the whole time but I can't find one. I'm new to this thing by the way. Thanks again!
I've found one. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Recovery_install_fastboot
Can i flash this Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable.zip (if its possible ) instead of the .img that was mentioned on the site. I can't find a recovery.img for my device.
Again, please ask in your device section linked above.
Thanks!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hey guys my device is xperia sola mt27i. Its stuck in bootloop/bricked and i really need help. I had rooted the device and had intentions to install cyanogen mod. So first i unlocked the bootloader. Then i flashed the boot.img file using flashtool. after that i rebooted the device into sytem using flashtool again but the screen showed the sony logo and didnt go beyond that. After that i get a blank screen and nothing else. it does not even connect in fastboot mode.
it just remains stuck on the blank screen. i did not have clockworkmod recovery/ rom manager installed on my phone at the time of flashing which i am considering as the reason for the problem. Please help me. i cant figure this out.

I got a xperia e4g some days ago and the first thing I see is a large number of bloatware. Root unavailable (sigh) so going to flash custom rom. My previous phones were all rooted, with cwm recovery and custom rom and even after I bricked them a couple of times, Odin and a proper firmware fixed everything so nothing to panic. After few attempts at flashing customs, my phone ended in bootloop. Still nothing to panic, it happened earlier. I downloaded Flashtool, used Xperia Firm to get a proper firmware (E2003_Customized UK_1293 7276_25.0.A.1.28_R6A), checked that all my drivers are updated and loaded the flash. Flash ended in three errors : unable to read from phone, processing from loader.sin finished with errors, error in process header5. I have no idea what it means or how to fix that. Pc companion has a blank screen anywhere I look (because of unlocked bootloader?) so I can't use it either. Another issue which I have seen earlier but ignored it : e4g does not stay in flashmode. The flashmode is on for about minute or maybe two and then it goes into startup. Fastboot works normally.
Any help in unbricking my phone greatly appreciated.

Hi there.
I updated my phone the other day and it ended up doing reboots with an error message regarding the update process. Before I hand it in for service, I wanted to make a copy of all the contents of the device..
So far, it looks like using some recovery kernel image and ramdisk is the right way to go, using "fastboot boot". What's a good image to use?
It's important that nothing is changed on the phone so I for example void the warranty.
Thanks,
Morten
