Yes, I know.
Just used this example because I imagine that C1504 and C1604 have the same behavior.
So, you think I will not have problems using C1605 firmware on my C1604?
I'm afraid the same thing happen to me, and i lost the 2G, 3G, EDGE...
Another doubt:
It´s necessary a driver to use Flashtool on my phone?
I can made a backup using Flashtool?
Thanks.

steps > 3
the 3 rd step u mentioned after unlocking c1504 does nt work... as in my case,after unlocking bootloader c1504 goes into bootloop and it is factory reset.. emma has no services for c1504 .. flash tool by bin4ry tells to switch on the phone and then enable usb debugging and try to flash.. as the phone is in bootloop there is no way I can switch it on.. so I think c1504 users should first flash c1505 ftf on c1504 using flash tool by bin4ry before unlocking bootloader??

[Q] Unlocking bootloader with a Mac...
thanks for the post. ive been reading hundreds of pages here in preparation to root my phone (XPERIA E/c1504.) i know that unlocking the bootloader is step one, so your guide is pretty helpful, but i'm on a mac! does this change any part of the process?
3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.
i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?
7)- go here SONYMOBILE .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?
thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!
The latest Flashtool (v0.9.11.0) has "BLU" menu to make Lock/Unlock bootloader more easier.
the simple step :
1. Set up Flashtool to be ready for your device.
2. Refer to the SONY link provided in OP, and get your bootloader key
3. Connect your phone to Flashtool.
4. Click the "BLU" and follow the step.
hope that work for Xperia E,.

here you go for adb for mac - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

okay your next question is quite good. first when I unlocked my bootloader and faced bootloop. I got my phone a Sony service centre. the guy there took my phone on warranty and tried to reinstall software through sus (works only on locked bootloader). then when he was unsuccessful he told me software modified and I got my phone back
so I don't think you will have any issue with warranty.
you can get any Xperia phone's bootloader key in your inbox just by knowing its imei.
so no issues at all.
P.S : rooting can also be done on a locked Xperia e

Dude to flash stock ftf you need not enable usb debugging.

Have u flashed your phone before?

this guide is for anyone having trouble unlockin bootloader.
note: unlocking bootloader voids your warranty but hey you can relock your bootloader and your phone is under warranty once again
note : after unlocking bootloader of Xperia e c1504/1505 c1504 goes into bootloop and in some cases c1505 also faces bootloop.so backup all your data.
1)- open the dialler
and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access
the service menu. In your device, tap Service info >
Configuration > Rooting Status . If
Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes,
then you can continue unlocking your phone..
if its no then please stop and don't try the next steps.
2)- go to developer options in your phone and enable usb debugging and in security options tick on allow installation of non market apps.
3)- download http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1350585408000 and install on pc.
5)-open flashtool folder>flash tool drivers>flash tool drivers and then select fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers and install them.
6)- download http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426292 and extract it adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip and place in on your desktop/any other drive.

fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
8)- Turn off your device.On your device, hold the volume up at the same time as
you connect the device to the computer
with a USB-cable. (volume up is the fastboot button)
9)- on your pc start>type cmd and open a command prompt and navigate to adb_fastboot_and_other_tools folder . if you don't know how to use a command prompt then. see this http://m.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&gl=IN&hl=en-GB&v=foYsmpDrYjY&fulldescription=1
10)- Enter 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar' without the single qoutes in the command prompt and verify that you get a
response back (for example "0.3"). This
means your device is connected
properly.
11)- enter 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock
0xKEY' ,without single quotes where KEY is the unlock boot
loader key you got in step 7 .. after doing this you will get reply as done on pc and your bootloader will be unlocked.
using the above instructions you can unlock other Xperia also which has bootloader unlock allowes to be yes.backup your data before unlocking.only the fastboot buttons will vary. you can get it here -

3)- connect Xperia e as shown in step 8 but with. holding volume down button instead of volume up. you will get a green led
4)- original firmware will get flashed and initial startup will take about 5 minutes. so be patient.
steps for relocking Xperia e bootloader
1)- download https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetYmh2V0l5Q0dFQW8/edit?usp=sharing
2)- flash it in same way as you flashed the original firmware..

WHY DID YOU USE THOSE ****TY PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL FASTBOOT?????
Anyway so download an .ftf for your M2 type (you can even install the CM 11 rom if you want to have the CWM recovery)
Download this rar whit fastboot and tools -https://mega.co.nz/#!9oAWgSSK!4IXHU7cuNvRF7PUQHMYTx8tN5a8FSdw81aEqJWjL1mw-
Unzip the pack on your desktop
Drag & drop your .ftf inside the fastboot folder
Open cmd in fastboot folder
Connect your device ( in fastboot mode )
Tipe fastboot devices to see if it is connected properly
Now , im not responsable if you brick your device, tipe "fastboot flash firmware (name of file).ftf"
Wait until it's done
Unplug your device and boot it up :good:
can some one please help me ...:crying::crying::crying:

Press Win key+R, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
You will see the list of devices connected to your PC. If you connect your phone and your PC recognizes it, the list will refresh.
Try to see if the list refreshes when you put your D2202 into flash mode (with the green LED).
If it refreshes, look if a new device has appeared in any menu.

Maybe but I don't know becouse if USB doesn't work fastboot mode wouldn't connect, but it is connecting.
You have to flash a rom through fastboot mode, so you need to find system.img and boot.img from stock rom of a D2202 (unfortunately I have D2203 variant so I can't backup my phone, but I can help you findind the files on XDA) and flash it though flash tool.
You can also try to download an ADB toolbox and run the command:
fastboot erase userdata
(this command will remove all your apps' data but can fix your issue)

Try these steps
Follow this guide to install ADB toolkit.
Then open Sony Flashtool and select the XF icon.
Find Xperia E3 and select D2202 variant. In the right panel you will see a lot of entries with countries and telephone companies, select one and click in the field of "Available firmware:". Download the rom.
When it finishes, close XperiFirm. Click on thunder icon, select Fastboot mode, connect your phone off with vol + pressed (blue LED) to the PC and then press on Select system to Flash. It will ask for a sin file. You have to select a system_....sin, which is in C:\Users\(your user profile folder)\.flashtool\firmwares\Downloads\D2202_...\
and let process finish.
Then press on Select kernel to Flash and select, in the same folder as before, a file called kernel_....sin
When it finishes you can disconnect your pone and try to power it on.
I have a Xperia E3 D2212 and I made the whole process, the problem is that I could not increase the storage memory and FlashTools no longer recognizes my cell phone as a D2212, it recognizes as a D2203, this is because it changed the Kernel in TWRP . Would you like to go back to the Original Kernel ??
