Before trying backup ta cuz if it brick you can restore from backup or brick ta mean hard brick device that only sony can fix.
This trick worked on Xperia e1 so maby work on E3 also.
Does this method works on Xperia E3 D2206/D2243??
Does this method work with Xperia E3 D2206/D2243 ?? @vinay What do you think?
I am telling this because around a half month ago, I get rooted in my phone (D2206 model) using D2203 boot img file. Thanks for all
@lexiyuri I believe you can flash lollypop aosp and use this method to root it.
I wanna tell you that D2212 root method work on d2202 cause it supports it's kernel. Now sony released 4.4.4 on d2202 and I,ve flashed d2202 FTF on my D2212 and it is working like charm.
And an FTF contains
Boot
System
Fotakernel
Userdata
And may more.
But aosp only contains userdata.img system.img boot.img and I bet it will work.
Cause in FTF we need all partition,s compatible but in aosp just 3 and if you see cycle of phone boot you only need one compatible and it is boot which is already compatible.

D2203 - connected in fastboot mode -
Hi, I've tried this 6 times and each time I execute command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' - command says waiting for device and then after 30 seconds, my phone boots up as normal - nothing happens.
Is there anyone here who knows what the problem might be?
Thanks

After flashing the second image to get root, yes you have root, but no CWM recovery anymore . . . . . . . . .
So you can't flash the google apps zip to your phone.

Camera Issues
I don't know if this tread is still active.

Thanks. I downloaded both files - App and FTF, launched FlashTool (Windows), i chose Flashmode, and linked to file FTF. Everything is all right, but after clicking OK the program displaying prompt "How to put phone in FastBoot mode" - of course my phone is already in this mode. What is the cause?
Greetings!

I had the same problem when i tried to flash something i ended up having the same problem. Phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode.
I also have the Sony Xperia S LT26i.
Flash the phone using fastboot using this command: "Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin".
For that you need the kernel file. I'm guessing that your kernel and my kernel are the same because we have the same phone. If you want the kernel file, email me then i will send you the files. Hope this helped

[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,.

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

Syed.Zeshan said:
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.
7)- go here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/node/add/ubs-request?token=eff07a162ac0f98cb19eae2b99647ffc .
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 -
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons
steps precisely for Xperia e c1504/1505 facing bootloop after unlocking bootloader -
1)- download stock ftf file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetNS13Mmk4WEhrUTA/edit?pli=1 and copy it in flashtool>firmwares.
2)open flashtool click thunder icon select flash mode and select the stock ftf.
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..
note)- after relocking bootloaDer//on a locked bootloader if you face bootloop then use Sony update engine (download from official website) to flash original firmware.
hope my thread helps.
thank you.

Hello,
When I use flashtool to unlock my bootloader, it seems to succeed. however, when I check my rooting status, It is listed as Unknown.
also, when I tried to install Cyanogenmod 12 using a recovery, it seemed to succeed, and no errors were displayed. however, when I tried to reboot, It wouldn't turn on. at this point, pushing the power button only caused the phone to vibrate. the only solution was to flash the ftf and start over, which didn't work,
what should I do?am I doing something wrong?
I used the instructions on this pages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_taoshan
and used a recovery Installer to install CWM and Twrp. neither worked.
A picture of the condition I am describing is attached.
my phone is a c2105, running android 4.2.2 with 15.3.A.1.17 as build number
thanks for answering, and I apologize if I have not adhered to the procedure.

Follow the instructions on the Sony website to unlock your bootloader "officially".
Big Thanks
thank you barbarossa, it worked.
also thanks to you kahana, for providing me with the link. I thought manual unlock was a third method other than FT and Official.
the solution was to use official method. afterwards, the whole process was easily done.
currently, I am looking at cyanogen logo waiting for it to boot.
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 ??
well think im done i have a locked bootloader but have TWRP on and root now im just hitting bootloop and carnt ever use mobile upgrade because it wont find it as i dont have usb debugging enabled
any help please
HI if you have TWRP installed,just go to twrp and reboot to bootloader
then connect to pc with usb open adb and fastboot and
-Then type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" should show some numbers and "fastboot" after the numbers
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" shows device info including bootloader status (e.g. locked).
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader; after this you should get, for device info,
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and you should see "Device unlocked: true"
-To reboot normally: "fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot"

2.After you installed the Drivers Press Volume UP and Volume DOWN and connect to usb to your pc
3.Go to device Manager to view the Port ,so the port can be "Android HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)"
4.Download the Panasonic Firmware Eluga and Extract (don't worry this is the same like idol 3 only name changed)https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B01Om...DhaSFN2aVFzaVU
5. After Extract you wil find EB-90S55EWLv1009.exe so run as administrator wait to load data
6.select 6045 and in the list down you can find your phone
7.and press the button "download"
8.So process starting ..indetifying your device you will get informations about imei..rooted or no .....

Yes if you root your device you will wont able to get any update ,but you can get with mobile ugprade ot just flash stock system and recovery and not root..
when you use the panasonic eluga switch update firmware, it also rewrites the aboot paritions and if the aboot parition has fastboot oem unlock command you can ulock it and then use mobile upgrade Q app to go to stock (it will not lock your bootloader)

as i said. Use the original panasonic eluga switch firmware exe, run it, choose 6045 device, connect your phone and let it do the thing. In cca 45-54% you see an error. It is nothing sreious, just unplug hte phone and booti it to see,that everything is allright.
Then just allow usb debugging, connect to PC and confirm connction with the PC ,then use adb reboot bootloader and then the unlock bootloader procedure.

OK thanks worth a try see if it allowes me to unlock the bootloader will I be on a different build number once flashed
And I suppose the eluga way is more thorough then the other way
Thanks for you help
thats the only way that will allow you to unlock bootloader beside the way described in the 6039 thread (in that case you need a mbn files for your devices, which you have to find somewhere on the internet).

FINALLY i can confirm that flashing back to the panasonic rom allowed me to unlock my bootloader lol :laugh::good:
whats the best thing to do now to flash your rom should i flash back to alcatel stock rom then twrp then your rom or can i flash from the panasonic rom
millions thanks to you and all that have helped
just flash the DCZ ROM 1.3 should be fine. Anyway you have unlocked bootloader now and the fastboot commands will work as they should.
From now you can go stock anytime with mobile upgrade Q tool .
