Cant flash stock rom
Hello all.
My issue is that I have an xperia m2 with cm11 running on it. I dont quite like it so went to flash a stock rom to the device but it fails.
It comes up on flash tool saying error (with a blank message) then underneath it says error flashing failed.
I did have to use sony pc companion before to repair it using flashmode but even that doesnt work. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue.
I have tried different roms. Uninstalling flashtool , pc companion and drivers, thwn reinstalling but nothing works

HY,your problem might not be the ROM,(i am pretty sure it is working) .If you are stucked into the bootscreen you are having a problem with boot.img file.If it is not FLASHED as it should,it might cause this problem(try do it again).YOU NEED TO WIPE DATA IN CWM ATLEAST 3 TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK.Now the last problem can be fixed if you made a backup.just restore it.you can go to recovery by presing volume down and power at the same time for 10 seconds.IF you didnt made a backup try to find an ALL IN ONE toolkit FOR YOUR device and try to fix it from there.HOPE I HELPED YOU!

Greetings,
After deciding to install AVD Rom on my Rooted Xperia J with Locked Bootloader I was already at CWM Followed all the stepsI wiped the Cache the dalvik cache and the /systemwhen i Was at the part where you choose the ZIP file of the rom It said Error mounting the /sdcard/ I realized you need to put the rom in an external sd card. I pulled out the battery with CWM on to put the sd cardand when I opened it, it stays stuck at SONY Logo and I can't even open CWM anymore
I tried flashing Stock ICS With Xperia Flasher but it won't even connect to Flashmode and all it says is Device Connected with USB Debugging ofPlease help me guys I am so sorry for how I am so nooby at these stuff please help
Try to flash with another version of flashtool...or just repair via pc companion...
If all else fails,u will have to unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel
I have Xperia Flasher but it won't get detected and PC companion won't detect it too. Can you give me alink to the flashtool you were saying
Dude the one and only Xperia flasher is androxyde...just Google it and go to github...then there you'll see many versions of flashtool...try one after other..and have you installed fastboot and flashmode drivers if flashtool??
Thank me if I helped you...
Hello fonetalker 101,
I faced the exact same problem with my Xperia E, I got stuck in a bootloop, and began to panick. So I know what demons you are facing
You can try a few options:
1. As mathewsj114 says you can try an older version of flashtool. And make sure that you have the Flashtool and Fastbootdrivers installed!
2. Install Sony Update Service. You can download it here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/. Just install, run and select your phone model, then follow the instructions onscreen.
3. You said PC companion wasn't working? That's ashame!
4. If nothing works, try another computer!!! That's how I fixed my bootloop, my friend used Sony Update Service on his computer, and with him it worked! My personal experience is that SUS and Flashtool have some tiny bugs in Windows XP/Vista.
Hope I helped. Have a nice day and goodluck!
Hi,
I need help :crying: :crying: :crying:
I have Xperia M c1905 bought it on 2013, August. I was trying to installed the Kitkat ROM. Everything was done, the root process, unlock bootloader, using fastboot ect. But now my phone in a bootloop condition. I already tried the solution by searching in this forum too (I was downloaded the custom kitkat rom from here too).
First I was succeeded installing the Cust.Rom but when I was installing the gaspp file here the trouble starts. The gaspp installation was failed, it says that this gasp is for 4.3.x rom. Then I was turn off the phone, and I was downloaded the gasp for 4.4.x (I didn't know the first gaspp was for 4.3.x, the posts not mention to find the 4.4.x gaspp or provide a link ect).
Then when I was finished download the gaspp for 4.4.x Rom, then I was installed the Rom once more. But this time it was failed, I tried to install the gaspp it was succeeded,but the phone was in bootloop condition. Then I tried to update my CWM (I tried all CWM for Xperia M - the old and the newest), then I was installing the Rom again, but now it was failed. "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed " "Status: 7" . I tried to download and installing another Rom such as HellKat, Carbon Rom but no results, it keep saying errors like above.
I tried to install the gaspp again once more, now it was failed not succeed like the first time. I was take the secure ways, installing the official Rom/Official Firmware for my Xperia M. I was using flashtool, before this problems there's nothing problem installing the Official Firmware (I was installing once when failed with a apk files - another problem but it was solved with installing the Official Firmware), but now the flashtool cannot installing the Official Firmware, it said "Error" just "Error". And now my xperia m always bootloop (The cyan/pink led always there) - when I was pressing the volume + and - still can accessed the CWM/Recovery mode. And everytime quiting from cwm/recovery mode it always asked "The root will lost, fix this?" I always choose "Yes".
Anybody can help me please to solve this problem... :crying: :crying: :crying:
Thank you... :crying:

What you gotta do is go to recovery clear/format data...
then clear cache... and then finally and most important go to advanced then clear DALVIK cache...!
then reboot you will be able to pass the bootloop...!
CoNGRatS!!!!:good:

Try installing drivers from Flashtool\Drivers there you would find a file Flashtool-drivers.exe open it click next and then go till the bottom of the list and check fastboot and flashmode drivers and install that
Hope it works Cheers :good:

Does your PC recognize the phone in the download/flash mode?
Look in your hardware settings of windows if the phone pops up.
If not try reinstalling the appropriate drivers for your phone (manually)
and try again.
