help with Xperia Live with Walkman (WT19i)

After using flashtool to install new roms and kernals, I think I may have installed a rom that was not for my exact spec. So after flashing the rom, my phone does not allow me to use any touch screen keys, and I think has overwritten CWM. I have tried Sony Update through PC Companion and it told me that my phone could not be updated. What can I do ?

try to download stock/rooted rom for your device exactly and install it trough flashtool, maybe that will work

I have tried this now. Flashtool does install, but I cannot get past first screen after install. The touch keys stiil do not work.

well, read here and use that CWM recovery just flash it and enter recovery mode ( I mean you don't have a working rom but a recovery ) when in recovery try to navigate menus then use back sensor-button
if this is working is a good sign if not you have to replace touchscreen I suggest to perform this check before !
I tell you this because you just flashed a ROM ...are you sure it was made for your phone ?
if not it's possible to cause damage to your phone drivers usually are placed in boot.img -your kernel be careful when flashing a new kernel!

Right now my phone does not respond to the install CWm2file, is this the correct thing to do when you say "use that CWM recovery just flash it and enter recovery mode". I am really hoping this phone can be saved somehow.

Download this file, extract it and flash the ftf file inside it via flashtool (Make sure u tick wipe cache & wipe user data on the ftf selection page):
https://rapidshare.com/files/477812782/wt19i_stock_rom_0.62_with_root.zip
Its a rooted stock ROM for Live with walkman...Then download the attached file to get CWM...extract the files to a folder and do as directed in the notepad file (make sure u keep usb debugging and unknown sources on...use the install-cwm2 file..its the one for our phone)..
Now, you should be having a stock kernel, stock rom, with root and CWM...check ur touch keys now...
*IMPORTANT*And always remember...once you've rooted ur phone and unlocked the bootloader...never use PC companion OR OTA updates (on the phone) for updating..it'll brick ur phone..:crying: *IMPORTANT*
PS: Hope i could help..Hit thanks if i did!
PS2: this thread contains all the ROMs which are made for our phone..so before flashing a ROM..please make sure u check if its made for our phone...

firstly I hope you solve that problem because I don't like problems too
-is your bootloader unlocked can you see something on screen when starting
-what about last rom flashed
-can you flash any rom but made for your phone only
-don't use PC Companion at this time

Bootloader IS unlocked. When starting I get Sony Ericsson Start up, and then home screen. Volume works, On/off works. but no touchscreen at all. I can flash a rom using Flashtool, but when try and flash a kernal Flashtool does not let me use flashboot mode. It tell me that Device not connected. This happened before messing up my touchscreen, and I solved it by putting phone in different connection mode.
All this came about because I flashed '[GB rom] X-royal v14 only for lww' and rage kernal, and prob was not for my spec phone.
From this webpage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650365
So phone has been off for two days now.

Has the problem been solved?

Does your CWM work?? i think the problem is that you're using stock kernel...because none of the other custom kernels show Sony Ericsson at startup...not even the ICS official sony stock kernel...Try flashing a different kernel...

Is there a way to unbrick XT925?

I just brick my phone, and i just wonder, if it will never work again, or maybe there's a magical solution

You sure you bricked it? That's the consumer version right? If you have acces to the fast boot on then we can help but if you have you boot loader unlocked then that's tuff cause we still learning not to brick for the hd . I'll tell you what though, If you boot loop or have a black screen try holding power and volume buttons until either the screen freezes and reboots or until it starts up again. Then you can access boot loader mode and or fast Boot we can flash something.

Hi! After a year this topic will revive, as my phone will do I hope.
I tried to boot my phone, but it didn't work, and I cannot recover my xt925. I have the fastboot, and it says : flash failure.
I tried to unlock the bootloader from Motorola website but it said my device was not compatible...
What should I do to make it work again?

any successful flash should clear that off. just grab your stock software from sbf-developers and flash it with rsd.

My first post due to a death
The death of my XT925 was probably on the cards since I decided to wet my appetite and unroot it and also unlock the bootloader. Everything was sweet at this point, but then I decided to upgrade to kitkat. A big risk, as it turned out, since now I have a smooth attractive-looking brick. My mistake was downloading a rom, which after _nearly_ completing, failed (after many attempts to get it). I repaired it, and then installed it using some root software. I'll have to look up the names, but now I have no response after a lot of frenzied button pressing. Bootloader / fastboot would allow me to get RSD Lite fired up - but I have nothing. The last thing I did was leave it on overnight with the recovery menu on the screen. Should I get my shopping pants on?

Sorry to hear this.
Flashing is a risky process one can easily flash something that is corrupt, or have something not complete.
One user is trying to restore his with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551113
Things to try.
1) Flashing the fxz/xml using the snapdragon fastboot command line
Last resort thx to SamuriHL
2) In custom recovery, you could attempt to wipe the system partition and see if that then allows you to flash the fxz/xml.
3) If not, wipe the system partition and then flash a known working rom in custom recovery (4.1.2).

Problem with huawei vision

Hi!I have a problem with my huawei vision.I wanted to install android 4.2.1 jelly bean from another phone and now my phone start and stuck at huawei logo....PC dont recognized him......No recovery No fastboot No nothing.....What should i do?:|

Someone help me?please?

You should never install ROMs or flash kernels which are made for another phone to your own phone. Each ROM is made specificaly for one device making it hardly possible to work properly on others.
If you have an unlocked bootloader then you could simply flash a kernel with CWM recovery and flash another supported ROM.
If you have a locked bootloader (also if you don't know what that is, then this is probably what you have) and if you haven't flashed any custom kernels (if you don't know what those are then you probably haven't) then your only hope is to find and flash the stock ROM back on it.
EDIT: If you're phone is the Huawei U8850 aka Vision then this is a stock ROM you can use:
https://mega.co.nz/#!hxIEDTrZ!ejEk1AC5f6S4aJ0iLx2rIkB0gMJIUMY5-_8iPDIZcfI

Probaly i have locked bootloader ....but how i unlock bootloader because my pc don recognized my phone nothing....

Download the U8850 Upgrade package from here. Unpack it and install SUT L3 and the USB drivers from the unpacked files. With SUT L3 you will flash this firmware which will enable CWM recovery on your device which you can access by pressing Vol- and Power button at the same time when you turn your phone on (you don't have to enter it after flashing this firmware I gave you because it should work fine).
First boot will take a while, but if it takes more than aprox. 15 minutes than something's wrong again.
EDIT: If everything goes fine and you want an ICS ROM than you can hop to this thread/tutorial. BUT DO THIS ONLY IF AND AFTER YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED AND BOOTED THE ABOVE FIRMWARE!

Dont work....Pc dont recognized him......

If SUT L3 is not detecting your phone when you connect it, neither turned off nor turned on, then I'm afraid you just bricked your phone.

Thank you! I finish problem:*!

Now ...i have a problem...when i want to install firmware .....error : task 2 of 2 ,download image fail error=device_not_configure

Glad to hear that! Just remember to never use ROMs which are not made specifically for your device!

How?

U must first transfer a ROM in zip format to your SD card and then select it via recovery.
But I lost you there a little. Was the recovery there before or did you successfully install the firmware via SUT L3? Because if you have, than you should be able to boot the Gingerbread ROM from the firmware.

Hi CCVader,
I've got a similar problem with my Huawei Vision that I bought/bricked yesterday. I managed to download an image file to my phone that was rooted and allowed me to boot to cwm. From the CWM Recovery screen I installed jellybean.zip, but after restart the phone hangs on the red Huawei screen. Every minute or so the screen goes black then comes right back to the red logo. Is this the 'first boot' you are describing above? Shall I just leave it doing this for 15 mins?
Thanks.
James.

You can't just flash ROMs without the appropriate kernel istalled. U8850 comes with Gingerbread and with the GB kernel.
Flash this.

OK, I'll give that a go when I get home. The firmware you've linked me to - is this GB?
One thing that concerns me - the Software Update Tool detects my phone if I attach it while it is on CWM, but if I try to install the original image it keeps failing. Equally, trying to install a tested nb0 file from the stock recovery tool also now fails.
The little bit of home I have is that I can still get to CWM Recovery - as long as I can do this, does that mean there is a chance I can unbrick my phone?
Many thanks for the quick response.

OK, so when you relocked your bootloader, this problem started, right?
did you flash a custom kernel before relocking your bootloader? if yes, then that's what we call "hard brick" for devices.
alright, here's what you have to do:
1) Don't panic, panicking makes things worse
2) flash stock kernel using flashtool (you don't have to re-flash the whole firmware) and you're done!
your phone will get back to life when you flash stock kernel :good:
hope this helps

Unroot and relock bootloader to install ota updates ?

Dear members
I want to update my rooted E6633 running 32.2.A.0.376 to 32.4.A.0.160 through the OTA, of course, because my device is already rooted the downloaded update couldn't be installed, the reason behind seeking for this update that I'm not able to make phone call and the phone is not able to detect the SIM cards and showing pop up error message android.phone.com has stopped repeatedly whenever I press ok and phone app crashes.
what I have done so far is through superus app I chose full unroot and the phone rebooted successfully and I have checked it with the root checker showing that the root is not installed properly
I launched the flashtool and booted the device on flashmood and selected the bootloader relock option
flashtool said that bootloader finished relocking the device, but the device is not able to boot to the normal mood whenever I push the power on button the device only vibrate or boots to flashmood when the cable is connected but when unlocking the bootloader, the device boots normally.
How to update my device without losing my current data and to fix phone application and SIMs recognition?
Do I have to fastboot the original Sony kernel and where can I find it? because I didn't make any backup
I don't mind losing root I just want to make the OTA update installed without flashing my phone and starting from the beginning.
Thank you
Notes: when the device is rooted again and when opening luckyputcher the error messages disappear and SIMs cards work fine and phone app opens normally

I will assume the reason you are not going for this is because of limited bandwidth or something along those lines.
You can either wait for someone to post a stock kernel of it but if you have a the .376 ftf you can extract the kernel using this guide (at step 3 you can flash the kernel using adb/fastboot)

Thanks for your reply, not limited bandwidth but slow connection that one of the reasons, if I could extract the kernel from the firmware and flashing it without losing the data and allowing ota to be installed this will be great. Hopefully this way fixes the system errors and keeping the data and settings as it is.
Thanks again I will start following these guidelines if something went wrong surely I will sue you :laugh:

Ok I downloaded the ftf file, extracted kernel.sin
opened flashtool
I coudn't found the Dump Data option but I clicked on extract data inisted
I renamed the extracted kernel from elf to boot.img
I flashed the kernel using this command
fastboot boot boot.img
I got this error message : FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
so I relocked the bootloader and I got diffrent message : FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
I went to flashtool and flasehd the kernel with no errors but the mobile did'nt boot, it's stuck on sony logo
what is the problem !?

Ok First Things First you should have used the command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Secondly to remedy to the problem flash the ftf BUT don't select anything in the wipe section, keep them all unchecked. Then you will have a stock and unrooted ROM without having lost your data.
Edit: If you were able to download that big of a file why didn't you go directly with the .106 fw? You would have had the same initial result you wanted! ::facepalm::

I was not sure about flashing the whole ftf, I was worried if I flashed the the new 160 would cause the system to break down, so I decided to unroot and to keep my self on the safe side by unrooting, relocking bootloader and installing the stock kernel so that I will be able to update to the .160 fw through OTA
I will follow your instruction about flashing the .367 fw. I was thinking about it but I wasn't sure which options that should I select without losing the data. Should I select the whole options except the wipe section?
Thanks for your help

Hmmm yesterday before posting my last reply I flashed the firmware I only selected the kernel and nothing happened, no changes happened to the firmware except the ota size was reduced from 485mb to 187mb !?
Oh dear according to the screenshot you uploaded the ftf I downloaded is for middle east and I'm from Saudi Arabia never thought there is custom firmware for Saudi Arabia do you think that the reasone behind this boot failure is because of the difference between the installed firmware and the downloaded one?

It shouldn't pose any problems at all. Any problem arising might be of your doing. What you could do is make a Titanium Backup of your user apps and go for clean install if your problems persist.

Ok that's great, after flashing the ftf the device boot normally but the bloody ass error still persist I can't make or receive phone calls the phone app is crashing, of course, since the root is not available luckypatcher will not solve the problem and to be honest I don't know what is the relation between this error and luckypatcher.
The funny thing after the process succeed the phone showing that the software is up to date man !!
more than that when checking software update settings app crashes
I really want to thank you for helping me, I really appreciate it :good:
my last option is downloading 160 fw and flashing it

Have you tried a different dialier app?
