[Solved] Roll back to 4.0.4?

Well... I have searched and searched and I just can´t find the correct answers to my questions...
Here it is:
My sons Xperia J is network-locked to 3 Sweden. It has a locked bootloader and it can´t be unlocked. The phone is upgraded to 4.1.2...
The only guide I have found for rooting is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181640
It says that I have to be on rooted 7.5 FW to get 4.1.2 rooted. As I understand I have to downgrade first to get rooted... but how? Can anyone please give me a hint how to do this and to get hold of the FW needed?
My status:
Model ST26i
Android 4.1.2
Kernel 3.4.0
Version 11.2.A.0.21

You need to download flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1363522362000
then 7.5 ics firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150578 then root it with unlockroot
then install clockworkmod recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003069 install 6.1 for j NOTE there is no CWM for jb with locked bootloader yet. Then follow the tutorial for root jb for locked bootloader.

Allright!
If I´m supposed to use Flashtool, can I use this instead? I still want to use 4.1.2 but with root so I can modify and delete bloatware...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181640
Is it the *.ftf i´m supposed to flash? It´s the prerooted 4.1.2 I really don´t need CWM for my purposes

the ftf is the kernel and things the cwm zip is the rom you need it all! so follow the entire tutorial

Ahhh... NOW I got it!
I´ll give it a try tomorrow... I´m working until 10pm
Thanx for the directions!

I really need to be 100% clear of what I´m doing...
I´m in the process to download everything right now.
1: I make sure flashtool works with drivers and so on
2: I install (flash) the 7.5 firmware with flashtool? Just like that?
3: I root the 7.5 firmware with unlocktool
4: I install CWM with the *.batfiles included
5: I follow the link to flash and root instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181640
Is this the correct way to do it?

Yeah.Put it in firmwares folder of flashtool for easier locating of the .ftf, then start Flashtool, select the lightning icon on the left, Flashmode should be selected, press OK, find the fw from the left side(assuming you've already put it in the firmwares folder where flashtool is located), and press OK on the bottom there.Wait up, wait for flashtool to say to connect phone in flashmode(Make SURE you have drivers installed first), and wait for it to finish up.It might get stuck on some %, like 84,94, etc don't worry. it will continue.

Will it be enough to install the driverpack in the folder "Drivers" even though the phone does not appear in devices?

Sv: [Q] Roll back to 4.0.4?
Hang on a minute... can I really install CWM on firmware .75 on a locked bootloader?

yep, just make sure you use this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003069
the 6.1 for J.root your phone with unlockroot first, reboot it, and then apply this .bat.make sure usb debugging and unknown sources in security are ticked, too.
there are graphics issues, but it works.

Well... something is not right... see screenshot.
It starts but the it states that there´s an error. Any ideas?

Translation?
also if you have skype, post your ID and we can solve this faster.
make sure you're connecting the phone WHEN IT SAYS TO, not before that.

Hmmm translation?
"Error in processHeader 22. The unit doesnt recognize the command. Error flashing, aborted"
Sorry... not using Skype
Any clues in screenshot? I´m downgrading to .75 FW

try doing what i said, make sure you turn off the phone, remove battery, put battery back after 5 seconds, prepare the files for flashing, and plug the phone in flashmode WHEN THE PROGRAM instructs you to.I've found this to be a problem with the tipo too.Although it was fixable by replacing a loader.sin, but im not sure if there's a loader.sin for the J, i wouldnt experiment also with putting one from the tipo.Try what i suggested, plug the phone when flashtool instructs you too.volume down, remember

Works nice... rooted and CWM installed and working.
I do have one question... On the Xperia J, if I want to modify and so on... witch is best? 4.0.4 or 4.1.2?
Flashed rooted 4.1.2 with CWM and it worked... took out battery and started Flashtool. Started phone with vol- and it started to flash. But it´s stuck at 3%...
Ideas?

I'm out of ideas as I don't own the J, and that root procedure is quite difficult to understand.

[Q] [E C1505] [SOLVED] A bunch of Questions

Hi guys,
i'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to Android devices, so please excuse my stupid questions.
First some facts about my device:
ROOT: Enabled
BOOTLOADER: Locked and not changeable
ROM: Latest available official release
(hope that helps at least a bit)
#1: Is it possible to bypass the bootloader lock via root? If so, how?
#2: If there is no way to bypass the lock, is it possible to modify the rom anyway? Because i want to add the swapon/swapoff functionality to expand the available ram via a swap partition on my external SD card. (already checked via terminal if swapon/swapoff is available)
Thank you in advance for your help. I hope there's a solution to my problem.

You're right - your phone isn't allowed a bootloader unlock.
Without bootloader unlock, you can't change ROMs, but you can install ICS, which is a bit faster than Jelly Bean, even slightly more than CyanogenMod. In fact, even with an unlocked bootloader, I'm using ICS. Here's how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579233
Now, you said you're a noob when it comes to Android, so here's how to flash an FTF:
This process will remove all installed apps, contacts and settings. Any music, stuff on the internal storage (the one for music etc.) or the microSD will be preserved.
0. Make sure you're on Windows 7 or below. For some reason, this doesn't work with Windows 8 or 8.1, so you'll have to get a 7 PC somehow.
1. Download Androxyde's Flashtool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 (use the unrestrict.li link, it's better)
2. Install it. By default, it is installed to C:\Flashtool. Open this folder, and then the "drivers" one. You'll see a driver setup file. Install the Flashtool and Fastboot drivers (in the list, they're on the bottom).
3. Now go back to the Flashtool folder, and open "firmwares". Put your FTF file here.
4. Open Flashtool. Click the lightning icon. Ensure that Flashmode is selected, and press OK. Choose the C1605 11.1.A.0.68 file, and press Flash.
5. When it tells you to, turn off your phone. Plug in the USB cable into your computer. Hold volume down (do not hold the power button), and (point of no return now) plug the phone into the USB cable connected to your phone. The notification light will glow green, and hopefully everything will start flashing. When the Flashtool window tells you to disconnect your phone and turn it on, do so. Set it up, and you're on ICS!
If you want to go back to Jelly Bean, download this FTF: https://www.mediafire.com/?3fmmkbmlqtjd6cy and put it into the "firmwares" folder. Now follow the guide step 4 onward, but select "11.3.A.2.23" for Jelly Bean.
Whew, long post.

So, in principle i downgrade the device to ics with an unlocked bootloader and then can flash a custom rom that is jb based, with all features i need to expand the ram?

No, ICS won't enable you to unlock your bootloader OR install CWM OR install a custom ROM. ICS is faster than any other custom ROM (other than XboosT, which is basically ICS on steroids), so if you can't have custom ROMs, the next best thing is ICS.

Another noob's question:
I installed Xposed a few days ago on my c1505 (stock firmware, locked bl). It worked perfectly. But i've read from another post that if i remove it my phone won't boot. So is there any way to remove it without breaking my device?? Waiting for answers.

But UltraGamerHD is still using his phone (in fact, he's making CM11...), right?
Right now, I uninstalled Xposed, rebooted, installed Xposed, rebooted. Nothing called a brick (although I did lose a cool Xposed mod for a reboot). Well, whatever. Uninstalling doesn't brick.
In fact, the problem in the topic is either:
1. The phone hard-bricking, which is not related to Xposed at all.
OR
2. The phone's battery being discharged to 0%, to the point where the phone cannot turn itself on and start charging.

I did brick it once, I went to the Orange UK store in my local town and he said he used software similar to PC Companion.
Go to phoneunlockserver.com and unlock your bootloader even if it says no for £10 GBP --> Use Google Currency to Convert Price.

Soft bricked Tipo

Hi there,
1. I am fed up of my Tipo's lagging touch (responding after half an hour, miscaliberation). I update the firmware using Sony companion and tried to install one of the Jelly Bean roms on the stock ICS using CMW. It some how soft bricked my phone. Can any one tell the reason?
2. With lot of effort I installed the stock ST21a 11.0.A.4.22 Sony Generic kernel (using Flashtool). It is same laggy and miscaliberating. Did I not reformat, similar to PC? shouldn't it be fresh and new ?
3. I am not trying to install JB rom. What is the correct way to install? Should I worry about any seperate parts like Kernel?
4. To install JB rom (Paranoid Android) I tried to root the device, but the flash tool says "no root exploit for this version". If i cant root. I cant install CMW. I cant install frest rom. Is there any other way to install ROM?
I am stuck in the above points after my research, and will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, but those two have the same effect. Repairing with PC Companion is exactly the same as flashing a .ftf. And if that didn't work, PC Companion won't.

[Q] Not able to repair brick on m2 2302

Hi everybody!
I'm rather new here and I need help.
I think I soft bricked my device. After getting my unlock code from Sony, I unlocked it via adb. So far so good. After that I installed CWM and a zip. After that I couldn't boot my phone. I've tried everything. Used Flashtool to flash a firmware for my model to make it work again. Unfortunately, after the flashing was done, I ha got another issue. The Sony logo just pops up, goes out, pops up and so on... No I can't access even recovery mode anymore, even though I have a unlocked bootloader...
Can you guys please help me? I'm just 13 and my parents aren't really happy about what I did to my new fancy phone.
I appreciate it, thanks.

But thanks for your effort.

You could try flashing a KK ftf (18.3.xxxx) instead of JB (18.0.xxxx). Either download one from the index thread or download yourself using xperifirm and pack it with flashtool.

Thanks! I'll give it a try

I think that might be it because I already updated android to Kitkat 4.4 :good:
Edit: It worked! Thank you so much!

How do I downgrade my device?

Hello,
I'm on Android 6.0.1 and using the custom ROM called ROMX. How do I downgrade my device because I'm having issues?
Thanks.

What are your problems on the ROMX and why aren't you posting about them in the ROMX thread? I've used the ROM aswell and rarely had issues on it.
I suggest you post your issues on the ROMX thread, and im sure you will get some help if someone (maybe myself) can help you with it.
If that won't be the case, ill help you to go back to stock or move to another ROM

I asked there a month ago and tried the solutions but the problems are continuing (WiFi drops and restarts every 5 to 10 mins). So I thought downgrading could maybe solve the problem.

Oh I see, sorry I missed your post there then (or I forgot about it).
Have you tried to clean flash the ROM again? What version of ROMX are you running?
All you have to do to go back to stock Sony ROM:
- Download flashtool and in flashtool go to Xperifirm and download the latest firmware for your device model.
- After downloading the firmware you want, you'll have to click the lightning button and chose flashmode.
- Select every box under wipe..
- Turn off your phone and plug it in your usb port on PC with USB cable while pressing volume DOWN button (green led should light up)
- Click flash to start the flashing process.
You can flash MarshMallow 5.11 firmware, or if you want the latest android version then download 32.3.A.2.33 Nougat firmware.
- Make sure to backup your files first before flashing anything.
If you need more help let us know

I did all of this and downgraded to Lollipop and still same problems. Wiped again and upgraded to Nougat and still the same issues. Although I'm sending this from my phone, the random restarts still occur and the WiFi sometimes doesn't work and says 'Turning on' and the on switch is greyed out. Any help?

Have you tried wiping everything in flashtool even ssd and all, if yes then maybe your battery is damaged and phone has not enough power to work properly.
