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

Thanks a lot for the insightful post of two lines. Have already tried that. Can any one reply point by point. I want the answer more in perspective of learning than one time solution.

He said that he already tried that! Oh, and capital letters are just for the first word of a sentence and names. Not Like This.
@OP: have you tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/themes-apps/apk-touch-issue-solved-t2068082
It's an .apk that let's you recalibrate your touch(official patch by Sony).
Hope that helps!

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.

Xperia E3 broken

Hello. I have broken my XPERIA E3. I had cyanogenmod 12 (works in 5.0 android) there and I wanted to get stock ROM. I tried to flash 4.4.4 android, but now I can't do anything. Phone turns off, there is "SONY XPERIA", and after that it turns off. I can't stop it, but I can wait when the phone gets discharged. After that I can use ANDROXYDE FLASHTOOL FOR XPERIA, but I don't know what can I flash. Please help me .
It does not matter if you give me tutorial to get stock ROM, or stay in the cyanogenmod. I need only make the phone work. Please. When I'll fix it, I will never install alternative roms or something like that. thanks. :angel:

It is necessary to press the off button, after the flash if the battery is discharged, you will perfectly sew together it is not

I don't understand you bro... I can use the POWER button. But I don't know what I have to flash .

I suppose that since you were using cyanogenmod, you had model number D2203.
Explain to me:
-How did you flash 4.4.4 stock?
-Did you have a backup?

I flashed it using androxyde flashtool 0.9.20. I runned flashtool64 as administrator and it doesn't completed flash. I runned flashtool64 as normal user, all was OK and I have got stock rom and all is OK. Thanx for all.

OK, good to know that your phone is fixed

First things first charge your phone and then open ur backpanel u will c a small hole near the sim trays its a small force off button grab something and hold it for 10secs....then as usual get the stock rom and flash it using the flashtool from fastboot.....that is connecting ur ohone to pc holding volume down button....

Rooting stock MM? [Resolved]

Is there a rooting method for MM? I've looked through the threads and it's all about the MM custom roms which I don't have. I'm using upgraded MM OS. I tried to downgrade to LP using the mobile Q and it stayed on MM and reset my phone to default ((lmao)). I'm not exactly a wiz, but decent enough at this but I love this phone and want to use it to it's full potential.
I'm on the cricket service using idol 5.5 ((model 6045i)) if it matters. If I missed a thread that I should have read, forgive me and just point me in that direction. Thx!
Happy rooting!

You may have to downgrade to stock lp first.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-tools-idol-3-5-5-4-7-t3441781

Re:
Hii Audit, thanks for replying!
I will try it, thx! Hope it works for me.

Ohkay, so nothing worked to downgrade MM to LP stock
Panasonic Eluga wasn't able to detect the device although I've installed drivers and reset the pc and phone. Nothing worked. The link you provided for me helps but didn't work for me to allow me to downgrade. But thx for taking the time out to help me! Any help is appreciated.

Did you put the phone in download mode by any chance?
If not, I believe it's Power + Up/Down volume at the same time.

I went ahead with the Panasonic Eluga software, took some work for it to detect my phone. But got it to downgrade to 5.0 and flashed the AlekOS ROM with no problems!

I am also on stock MM on cricket idol 3. Will try the panasonic downgrade to 5.0. Did you also have to install the hybrid bootstack to get alekos to work or just the standard root/unlock bootloader then install rom ?

I tried about everything... it sees it as CD Rom drive in windows but when I go to download mode it no longer sees it and the device disappears from my device manager... tried about every trick...
After about 15 or 20 other tries it finally stuck with a driver---which one I have mo idea ... I quickly shut off phone went into download (before it changed its mind) and loaded the panasonic OS. it installed !! I will play with it tomorrow and try and install Alek OS FLy.
Thanks again

I also have a cricket 6045O and installed panasonic eluga. After I get alekOS/FlyOS installed do i need to install any cricket ( usa) modem to get 4g LTE? (i imagine the panasonic modem is not compatible or is the modem built into the new ROM)?

no I got LTE perfectly fine after I used the Panasonic method to downgrade to 5.0. It's usually the ROM that causes u to lose LTE . CM12.1 ROM by The Marionette is the best to use and guarantee to keep ur LTE speeds if nothing goes wrong during the flashing process ^.^ Plus its amazingly stabled and fast.

To get into download mode, press and hold volume up+volume down+power.

hi, I'm desperately looking for a method to root stock MM for the 6039 model... any idea?
Thank you so much

bouldou, I suggest to you try using the Panasonic Eluga Software to downgrade from MM to LP. As far as im concern, there's no way to root MM yet. Just make sure ur PC download ur alcatel's drivers before doing so.

I had trouble getting mobile q to detect my phone the first time, took about 10 tries putting it into different boot modes before it was finally properly detected.
Once you get it to work the first time, it'll work without even entering that download mode. Eluga is the same.

The bootscreen logo has nothing to do with boot-loader AFAIK. The N9005DXUGBOK3 is quite old (2015) and it is from Singapore ROM not EU.

Europe networks and phone models .

I was having the same problem like you.But last month i found the cure.Not the bootloader is the problem.The modem.I updated to last bootloader and modem and when i try gps i saw a lot of sattelits but no lock.Also i remember last year i have an older bootloader and an older modem ( PI1 ).I tryied 3 different new modems and bootloader but the same.Then i remain with new bootloader and try that modem.And all was good.A lot of sattelits and lock in seconds.So modem is the big problem. ?

Cannot help much if there is no details on what your phone bootloader/firmware versions were before flash, and what versions you were trying to flash.
If you were flashing a lower version of BL to your phone, you can flash your original firmware back to your phone.
If you were flashing a higher version of BL, you will need to find a new version of BL/firmware , such as the latest U firmware, to Odin into the phone..

Since you mentioned a Google account, just make sure you know the user and password of the last working Google account on the phone. Sounds like you tried to flash a firmware with an older bootloader.
And if you don't know that info and were trying to carrier unlock it via some back door method, don't follow the thread that I just linked.
