[SIZE=+2]Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), and J[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Why isn't Flashtool working?[/SIZE]If you are getting an error message about the header of your ftf, then you will need to copy loader.sin into your ftf file before flashing. Make sure that the drivers for your device are loaded and that you wait for Flashtool to ask you to connect your device. Your device should be in msc mode and USB debugging needs to be on. There is a thread dedicated to issues with flashing here.​
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my device?[/SIZE]Rooting is usually done by applying an exploit or sometimes it can be done with Flashtool. Rooting can be a little bit confusing because not every version of Firmware is vulnerable to the same exploits, so some rooting strategies require changing the Firmware as part of the rooting process. It is probably best to consult one of the rooting guides for your device. For example: here or here​
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How do I unlock the bootloader?[/SIZE]Unlocking the bootloader is essential if you want to use custom kernels. After unlocking the bootloader you will have to use Flashtool to update your device because PC Companion and SUS won't recognize your device, unless you relock your bootloader. You can use either the Official Sony Unlocking method or SE Tool to unlock your bootloader. See the guide here​
[SIZE=+1]Q4: Will --fill in the blank-- work on the Dual?[/SIZE]If it doesn't explicity say that it works on the Dual, it probably doesn't. Make sure to read the OP carefully and have a recovery strategy in place, for example a recent nandroid back up, just in case.​
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is the best ROM or kernel?[/SIZE]This is probably NOT a good question to be asking. Asking this question will most likely get you made fun of, and since it is against the rules, your thread or post will most likely be deleted. The best ROM or kernel will depend on how you use your device and what you are hoping to get out of it. So, only you can answer this question, have a little bit of fun testing different ROMs and kernels and then pick the set up that works the best for you.​
[SIZE=+1]Q6: Where is everybody? Why am I so alone?[/SIZE]lol, don't worry, sometimes it takes a little bit of time before Development of a device takes off. It is already clear that this is going to be a vibrant place for Development.​
[SIZE=+1]Q7: Where can I get more information? What if I don't see my question here?[/SIZE]The search functions in xda are pretty powerful and they will help you find what you are looking for. They can usually be found at the top of all the forums and the "Search this Forum" box usually does a good job narrowing your search down. There is a good index/all-in-one guide in the Development section: here and a "Help for any topic" thread here Make use of them!​

No, all xperia phones have no recovery partitions, but it's easy to enter flashmode and fastboot mode, and using flashtool software on pc, you can fastboot kernel, flash roms etc.

Hi,
I'm an Xperia tipo dual user, with current build number 11.0.A.6.5 updated using Sony PC companion. I just want to ask, does the tipo dual have physical RAM of 512 MB? That's what I thought before, because when I checked my Ram it only has a total of 404MB, wheres the other 100+MB? I'm very disappointed.pls.help. :|

Question re custom Roms for xperia J
@ mods: If my query is not at the right place, kindly move it to it's appropriate location.
I am thinking of buying a xperia J in India. Are there any custom Roms which have call recording enabled for this particular phone? I have tried to use the search feature on Xda prior to posting this query and have also tried a google search for xda and freexperia but have not found any pointed answers.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me resolve this query.
Regards

I'm stupid
Hi!
First of, im not that bright as you will see:
What i've done on my miro is, well i had cwm and the gimlo custom rom, everything worked nice except my sound (it worked for a couple of days and then just stopped), as I wasn't sure if it was a hardware problem i tried to reflash the rom, and here comes the problem.
As I booted into cwm I did a system format so I can properly re-flash the rom, and as gitsy as I am i just pressed reboot phone now instead of flashing the rom first.
Now I can't get to recovery and I can't get it past the sony logo on boot. How do I fix this problem?
EDIT: Fixed! I got it to flashmode (plug in and hold the vol-) and flashed the original firmware via flashtool! Will keep the post if someone has the same problem. Feel free to ask a question or two if you need help from me ..aand not to forget, my sound works again!

What do you want to do? Just root your phone or install a rom? You should install g3mod kernel, the recovery is a newer version... This one is very outdated

Sorry but i dont understand how to reboot to recovery

original source
Plagiarism? Why Unknown creator of kernels? where the original source? Kernels taken from 4pda. You must specify the details

flashmode
when connecting your J with cable USE the power down key instead of power up. It will go to FLASHMODE . With power up J goes into fastboot
