[Q] Flashing Xperia tipo dual

First, I'm a total nubie to Android devices. I'm using Sony Xperia tipo dual (ST21i2, ICS 4.0.4, 11.0.A.1.8). Here's the chronology to my problem.
I tried to root my phone using the steps from the following page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything ran smooth, the root was successful (I checked it with "Root Checker Pro 1.2.8" and it said I get root access).
So one day I installed "Font Changer 2.1.0" (it needs root access), and it said the BusyBox installed was not compatible. I downloaded "BusyBox Pro 9.6.3" and installed it. Font Changer could run then, though it failed to change the phone's font.
I uninstalled Font Changer and "BusyBox Pro 9.6.3" I just installed. When uninstalling "BusyBox Pro 9.6.3", it asked whether to use "Smart uninstall" or "Normal uninstall". Because I'm no smart in things like this, I chose "Smart uninstall". Uninstall was successful but it said my system is unusable anymore.
I tried using "Backup and reset" feature and selected "Factory data reset". Everything seemed to be reset, my phone is running normal.
Then I tried rooting my phone again using the same file and the same procedure. The command-prompt window said the rooting was successful. I checked it with "Root Checker Pro 1.2.8" and it said I have root access. But there was no SuperSU icon on the app interface like the first-time root. Another problem is that when I installed some apps that need root access, they said that the phone has not been rooted, and when I was installing "BusyBox Pro 9.6.3" it said the 'su binary' is not found (I did "Factory data reset" two more times but obtained the same result).
So, I was thinking of flashing my phone using an "ST21i2_11.0.A.1.8_SI 1264-2819.2 AR_EN_FA_FR.ftf" file and "Flashboot 0.9.9.0" I downloaded from the following page:
http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1355451208000
I installed "Flashboot 0.9.9.0", but there seems to be a problem with the language GUI. Please see the screenshot below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(I checked the file "config.properties" in the "C:\Flashtool" directory, and the language option is "en", which means English. The language file "en.properties" also exists in the "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib\langs" directory.)
So I used my experience with user interface and tried doing the flashing. But here is the flashing log:

14/021/2012 07:21:13 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I have installed the "flashtool-drivers.exe" in the "C:\Flashtool\drivers" directory. So here I concluded that Xperia tipo dual might not be supported yet (is it true?).
But there is another problem I need to ask. When I connected the phone into flashmode (phone turned off, pressing "VolumeDown" key as the phone is connected to PC, the LED becomes green), there was a new-device-connected notification on the taskbar and a notification bubble that said "SEMC Flash Device". But at that very moment my PC was not responding and I had to perform forced shut-down.
I also tried unlocking my phone's bootloader using the instructions on this page:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
but the same thing occured (non-responding PC) when I connected the powered-off phone while pressing "VolumedDown" key to enter flashmode. (I use an old PC running Windows XP SP3, Pentium IV 2.13 GHz, 1GB RAM. Does it affect?)
The main question is: how can I flash my Sony Xperia tipo dual?
Any comments, feedbacks, and solutions are greatly appreciated. I'm a nubie here, so please correct me if I said anything wrong. Thanks.
(Forgive my English, I'm a non-native speaker)

You need to sort that out then, connect your Phone normally and uninstall it in Device Manager on the PC. When you've cleaned your PC Reconnect your Phone in flashmode and let the drivers install before moving on to the next step.

Problem solved. Tried flashing my phone using Windows 7 and everything ran well (as long as I followed the instructions provided). The problem was with my Windows XP, I don't know why (my Windows XP OS is a (highly) customized one and I can't figure out why it wouldn't work for flashing my Xperia Tipo Dual). The Flashboot's language interface also displayed well when I installed it on Windows 7. Thanks a lot anyway for the response. :good:

This is not needed anymore as I updated my original post. I removed broken links and put the new ones. I did not edit anything in new ones. Everything is stock.
The firmwares in my post are working. I tested them on my phone.
The problem was in broken link I took from one member.

[MIRO] Error flashing

So here I am.
My girlfriend was having random RAMDumps
so I figured out a rom would fix it somehow.
I installed gimlo, working etc.
Now after restarting it was stuck on the splash screen.
Can't access Recovery, but I can access Flash Mode and Fastboot.
Although fastboot is locked...
I can't get into the rom nor booting.
Only the splash screen.
No I was trying to flash the stock firmware through flashtool.
I tried flashing these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
they all end up with this log:

and fastboot isn't recognized by my computer somehow...
(Fastboot devices shows nothing, and waiting for device takes aged)
I tried keeping out the battery for a night, no help.
Specs:
Flashtool version : 0.9.11.0 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00
Xperia Miro : ST23I Europe (Netherlands)
Recovery : TWRP
ROM : GIMLO
Fastboot and FlashMode both aren't recognized by my computer, but flashtool recognizes them differently though.
But it's just stuck at the splash..
any help?

Update:
Tried ST23i_4_0_4_xperia.ftf too.
ended up the same..

Maybe you should try using thr latest version of flashtool on a different system.
Alternatively, you can use sony pc companion or update service.

haven't tried another pc, and isn't it the latest version? I compiled it from source lawl
besides, Pc companion or update service don't recognize it o.o
keeps on this:
And green led is on (flash mode right?)

you compiled flashtool????

It looks like drivers problem.
Maybe this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044804 will help.
EDIT
I remember that I had problem with fastboot - I've installed some sony fastboot drivers, and it work until now..

[HELP]FlashTools Stuck at Flashing Loader

Hello all Pros,
I have a Sony Xperia L C2105 with bulid number 15.3.A.144 and trying to flash this C2105_15.3.A.1.17_1272-2171_R2B_Generic_DE downloaded from here:
dw link: http://dl.androidkade.com/2014/May/rom/C2105_15.3.A.1.17_1272-2171_R2B_Generic.rar
dw page link: http://androidkade.com/64917/دانلود-رام-رسمی-4-3-برای-اکسپریا-ال-xperia-l-c2105-بیل.html
because of problem with Front Facing Camera (second camera, When switching to front camera it says unknown error, also in services test the error occurs) and my problem is that Flashtool stucks at flashing loader for hours and nothing happens.
I just want to know where am I wrong? I have flashed a lot of sony xperia with flashtool and in this one I don't know what is the problem!!! or even is this a problem?!!
That was a Problem by version of Flashtools thanks to @darQ96
The Camera Problem was not solved with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54874809&postcount=197
I think maybe its a H/W issue.

Sure, but here is no official sony support, and this device has no warranty (HERE IS NOT ANY OFFICIAL SUPPORTS EXCEPT FOR LG PRODUCTS THAT NOT BELONG TO LG, JUST TRADING THEIR PRODUCTS AND PROVIDE SOME SUPPORTS!).This device has no warranty, I will show it to a Technician.
Thank you

If you flashed an stock FTF successfully, and your camera is still not working then it must be a hardware issue.

I just ran into this issue too. For anyone else getting the "ERROR - null" error in Flashtool, I solved it by downgrading to Flashtool 0.9.18.6. The official download links for that version didn't work, but someone has uploaded it to Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1AAC4lt7nzOQzR3aTZKUFZqem8/view?pli=1
Lastly, the issue appears to be tracked in an issue on Flashtool's GitHub: https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/issues/47

There is easier way, boot into twrp wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache and then flash .ftf using flashtool and problem solved.
