So i'm using sony's guide to unlock the bootloader ( Can't provide link as i can't give outside links yet)
And all goes fine untill i get to step 12-13 , i keep hold of the vol up button while plugging in the usb , but nothing happens windows doesn't ask me for the driver location and my screen is simply blank.
i did confirm i could unlock the boot loader , i've installed android SDK and the revison of "google USB driver package" is 4, and i've replaced the android_winusb.inf
My phone is on build number : 4.0.2.A.0.42
it's rooted and is on android version 2.3.4
Any help would be appreciated
should i do it or not
I have been anonymously browsing the forums for about 5-6 hours and i have learned anything and everything that is there to learn about rooting unlocking and everything.
But there are two things I am concerned with and i'd really like your help.
these are related to unlocking bootloader
1. i have reached the point where blue led shows up... do i still need to do the testpoint method before using s1tool?
2. my manufacture date on the phone is 11w46. should i try to unlock the bootloader or not?
model: xperia ray st18i
fully rooted and cwm installed
bootloader unlock support : yes
i cannot ask in the developers forums just yet that's why i am asking here..
all the utilities installed in the laptop, just need a green light from you guys.
please help me out here... i am really stuck right now.:crying:
P.S. : I DO NOT want to lose DRM data.
Hello
I have Xperia Pro and I accidently used the boot.img of ICS while my phone had 2.3.4 ginger (used with Flashtool).
so it made it stuck at booting.
I can still use fastboot and flashboot modes but other than that I cant do anything with it.
what can I do to solve it?
(maybe some1 has the boot.img for Xperia Pro? can't find it in google)
The original problem was my phone home button stopped working properly (not returning to home screens and not showing the recent apps etc)
I know it's not for Xperia Pro forum but i cant find it on the site.
I know little about rooting and stuff, I got my phone already rooted from my brother and I managed to "break" it in a day... please help.
Thanks.
Guys, this problem-I have a sony xperia j. Decided to put CM10 did: 1. Got Ruth-here all is clear. 2. Unlock loader-here, too, everything is clear 3. Put cwm-recovery stage to put SM10 frosi kernel ontravel through the recovery stage sm10 Everything is up and working perfectly. Started to put swapper 2 and campaign have to reinstall the boot loader . The phone is gone and is no longer involved. Is the tool for firmware recovery, but phone not included in the flash mod. There was another cool feature is that the computer recognizes your phone even if it is remove the battery. Venda recognize it as «unknown device». To all appearance, I have to reinstall bootloader to hell. The phone was on HANTEI and I passed .. here are waiting for the result , would this be the case under warranty or they send me? I think that the imei database fails to prove that I unblocked the loader , I could have requested the code and is not used.
Hi guys recently my Xperia z3 updated to 5. 1. 1 lollipop and rebooted it said install applications for firmware then stopped at like 87/144 and eventually the battery drained out and the phone won't charge at all sent it to Sony and they said they can't fix it any one has any idea how I can do it my self
Appreciate any help possible fixing this phone paid alot of money and I'm disappointed Sony won't fix it
Try if you can get it into flashmode.
Hold the vol down and connect it to your PC while holding it.
It should start into flash mode (blue LED if I remember correctly) and in the PC's device manager a new device should pop up.
If it works you can easily reflash a official ftf with Flash Tool.

Softbricked Xperia Z3 - locked bootloader, disabled USB debugging, no recovery access
Hey, I'm in big need for help in reanimation of my Xperia Z3. I've been trying to install CM 12.1 on rooted Lollipop 5.0.2. In TWRP, after doing a full wipe I've checked ROM on sdcard and started installation. After some time, phone prompted sth like: "there's no root acces, click ok to install SU". Guided by intuition rather than by wisdom I've clicked it, and here started my problems. After reboot phone was stuck on Sony logo screen. So, I've do some research and started to apply solutions one by another.
- After trying to manually access recovery mode, there's only a short flash of green LED and that's all, black screen. Propably there's no more TWRP aboard. Other ways to access it are blocked: I can't use any apk because of softbrick, and can't use ADB commands because USB debugging is disabled after wipe.
- I can access fastboot mode visible for Flashtool; when phone is in this mode, blue LED lights permemently. I've tried to unlock bootloader: program gives message, that there's no possibility of it on my phone. By the way, I would prefer to stay with blocked bootloader. I was trying to flash custom kernel, but there was an error. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was about lack of permissions, i think that it's also because of USB debugging disabled. The same error shows when I'm trying to flash any other ROM - stock 5.0.2, prerooted 6.0.1 or Paranoid Android.
Most of solutions in similar topics around the web tells to use recovery mode, Flashtool or ADB commands. All af that failed for me and I'm stuck with no ideas what to do next. Now I'm trying to repair or recover stock, unrooted ROM with Xperia Companion, but I'm really afraid of this process because I can't check battery or load it normally while stuck in boot loop. Maybe it will help, then I'll edit or delete this post. I hope you can help me somehow.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
BW
