Hello, i got a nice Sony Xperia X10 mini with Android 2.1 update 1 and want to update to any Android 4.4. So i choose the PureSlim R4 for Robyn with the Pure GoogleApps for my phone.
But i cant work with FlashTool 0.9.22.3 i cant root my phone. I got the errormessag: ERROR - Illegal key size or default parameters. With SuperUser and SuperSU both the same result. How to install a new flash then? Do i need an older version of FlashTool? All tutorials are with links for flashtool in GitHub. But this links are broken.
Thanks for every hint to get a newer rom to my phone. USB Debugging is activated of course.
I would also like an answer to this as just found two of these in a draw at home so would like to get a newer rom on so th kids can have them.

Hi All,
I have a few question and would be graeful if somebody can clear them for me.
1)The unofficial flashtool available requires drives and it seems there are no drivers or plugins available for flashing the Xperia E, can somebody guide me on how do i get the flashtool to work correctly?
2)EMMA the official flash tool of sony requires a login id and password, i have tried registering many times with different emals but i never get the confirmation mail sent...any idea why this is happening
3)Where can I find the stock roms? Sonydeveloper site has very few availabl
Drivers for e? Are you able to install adb 1st? And s1boot flashmode drivers? Use universal adb first, then use pdanet. Flashmode will not install on xp, it just hangs there.
E stock? Better to search google. Sony dev have less firmware to choose. Or find a way to backup your phone firmware into .ftf.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i
Hello everyone,
I know this question have been discussed a looooot of times, but I'm still unable to achieve what I want.
So, I'm trying to root my Sony Xperia L, bought in Western Europe 1 month ago. I tried a lot of tutorials found on this website, like this one or this one, or Framaroot's one (I always have Error #7 with Gandalf's or Aragorn's exploit, don't know why...)
I also tried some other tutos found over the Internet, but it always fails.
Here is my config :
Sony Xperia L
Model : C2105
Android version : 4.1.2
Build number : 15.0.A.2.17
When I type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer, I can see my rooting status : "Bootloader unlock allowed", so I have hope.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks a lot !

Those two files work everytime on .17 although newer firmware is out and once that is installed, you need a different root method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503448 that works for the new firmware and might work for .17 as well
It has nothing to do with locked bootloaders your just using old tools that don't work on .17
I used this from DooMLoRD and works every time. However I'm not sure if this works with the latest firmware!

I just try the "Chinese version" described here : here
No error during install, I was able to finish the tuto ( !! )
The Kinguser app is installed but the RootChecker app tells me I'm not root... And I don't seem everything new on my phone, what's wrong ... ?
And about this tuto, the console displays
error: unknown host service
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
But the SuperSU is installed at the end of the process.
I'm probably stupid, but I'm a C# developper (don't kill me !) and I never touch Androïd system before today, but how can I be sure I have root access ? Or how can I try to give root access to an app ?
Hello. My xperia m2 says that there are no updates and the phone is up to date but it's with android 4.4.2. Theres 1 secound delay in the sound when I play games or use downloaded apps like youtube also the audio doesn't sound very good. To fix that I need to update the android version but I cant. I connected the phone to my computer and updated it with sony PC companion but the version is still 4.4.2. What should I do? I don't want to use flashtools or anything. I think it's the phone's fault for that and I should give it back to the place where I bought it so they can fix that. The phone is brand new and they already changed my camera because it wasn't working. So what should I do?
I suppose it has to do with the Country of your phone and/or if it is branded. IF after using PC Companion it's still with 4.4.2 I'm afraid your best (and only) option is to use Flashtool. Not sure how it works if it is branded though, you may need to to something to be able to de-brand it.
Well, actually try first to check if 4.4.4 is available in this way:
- Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*)
- Check the number in Service Info/SW Info/Customization version. You just need the xxxx-yyyy part
- Downdload and install Flashtool (it's small. You just need it for checking)
- Run Flashtool
- Go to Devices/Check Updates
- Select your phone double clicking on the id xxxx-yyyy you have got before.
- If the version is 18.3.C (like the one for 3 UK) there is no 4.4.4. the latest ROM is 4.4.2. It must be 18.3.1.C for 4.4.4
My is branded from T-mobile, and i flashed CE ftf to debrande, everything is good except i don't have extra apps that T-mobile puts in. As i know your safe flashing ftf cos it's official Sony's software, just using Flashtool instead of PC Companion and you won't lose warranty, as long as you don't unlock bootloader.
Good Luck.

Do I install the flashtool on my computer or on my phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Obviously on the computer. It's needed to flash the phones from it. Just google it, you find it immediately. Then if you decide to flash a generic 4.4.4 FTF just search around. There are dozens of guides in the Internet.
Alright thanks for your support guys
Hey,
I got an Xperia Z3, latest lollipop update 5.1.1 no root or unlocked bootloader. The phone is locked from factory, checked on sony site to unlock it and i cannot, it says in the phone menu when i enter that code that i cannot unlock it.
So the question is: is there any sound mod like the ones already here on xda, but an apk like so i could just install like a normal app? Or if there is no posibility whatsoever is there any chance i can root the phone without using sony website? Been trying to find tutorials but to be honest i do not know what to look for. Everything i found i had to check with sony site at some point and that doesn't work for me.
You should try a music player apk bro, I recommend the full version ore pro version of that player.. It should do the trick..
Goodluck
Hi all
I have a Sony Xperia C Android phone, running Android OS 5.01 (Lollipop). When I went to check g.co/WearCheck it says "Yes! Your phone is compatible with Android Wear" BUT when I go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app to download the software, it says "This app is incompatible with your device." so now I am stuck with a Sony Smartwatch 3 that I can't seem to sync to my phone.
Any suggestions or ideas? I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to download the software; maybe there's a way to sideload it?
Is this Lollipop ROM that I've installed by @iSiddharth not really Android 5?
I can't see any reason why the browser check confirms it is compatible but Google Play says it isn't?
for starters, the "5.0.1" rom, is a 4.2.2, its just themed to look like Lollipop.
