Lol did you unlock your bootlaoder only to do nothing but remain on stock afterwards?
The answer though; Update to the latest firmware with flashtool. Shadowboy's made a fine tutorial complete with step by step pictures http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 check it out.
Make sure you untick wipe data if you want to keep all your apps/setting etc. I've never had problems upgrading fom stock to stock without wiping in the XZ.

Yeah still on stock crazy I know but I've been really busy this month and just not got round to finding the right Rom
Thanks for the tip

I know that feeling, I haven't quite found the perfect rom yet either. I think it might be time I tried my hand at cooking something up myself.. baby steps. lol

I like the look of that cm10 paranoid android hybrid Rom.
Only noticed it last night

Try Flashing a Euro Open found here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ with kdz flash tool.......and please stop making so many threads about each and every question. And if you must do it then post it Q & A section. Thanks.
Ok, i will try that out. Should i flash over the existing v20a, or downgrade first...??
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I do not think that you need to downgrade to 10H for that ....... If it does not work then you can downgrade to 10H but I am quite sure that it will work and you won't lose any data.
Good Luck.
You cant get eur xxx. Why would you want anyway?
Because on 262-001 i cannot unlock the bootloader, but on euro open rom i can..

You can unlock any bootloader irrespective of any Software version. Read More.
I have read that.... But i could not unlock it, no matter the way... Also i read that euro open is the easyest way to unlock bootlader... This is why i was thinking to change to euri open...

Sorry to hijack the thread :good:
Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And

Usually a carrier locked xperia has a permanent locked bootloader. Don't be surprised if you can't unlock it.
Just a heads up before you do too much research.
thanks guys!

It is an issue if you want those highly customisable roms such as cm,pac etc. I rather lose be2 than not having the chance to flash those. But now there's a way to save your ta before unlocking bootloader so it's all good for those who want to unlock bootloader and still keep be2 for future use.

I understand but CM is always broken and has bugs on every phone. I don't even know why the roms from CM are so loved. It is most of the time a bug fest. Lol

Yeah honestly I always prefer stock roms so not to loose all good functions for example on my HTC one all I run is vipor Rom which is sense based otherwise I'd loose zoe,ir blaster and every other thing that makes the one what it is

Yeah viper rom was always great in htc phones. I know not it since htc sensation. CM always seemed broken. Always something isn't working what works on other roms. I always wondered why CM always seems to have issues with things.

Stuck on Boot Loop ad no thread helped...

Hi everybody!
I bought my new phone a week ago, It's a developer edition
I did all the regular phases:
Charged my phone till the LED was green
Turn it on and started the HTC file transfer tool
Entered my Gmail account
and then it got stuck, started a reboot loop not pasing the splash screen
I can get to the bootloader but more than that nothing
I read a lot of threads, tried them and none of them could help...
I was hoping someone would help me
I would like to keep the phone and not give it back
thanks and sorry it was so long!

You could flash another ROM. Are you sure you downloaded the right ruu?

I used the right RUU, I'm sure about this.

The best I can think of is to flash another rom. Every time I have bricked my device, flashing the correct ROM has worked for me. Since your device is new and you have used the right RUU, I guess there is something wrong with the device.
You can consult nearby service center or call the helpline no. If there is a software bug they can fix it. They won't charge much for that.
EDIT: I just remembered that to restore from ruu the bootloader must be locked.

[Q] Phone doesn't do anything, only backlight is on

Hi. My friend has an SP, it's stock and unrooted, and a few weeks ago the phone started to hang on black screen with backlight on. Of course he tried to reset the phone with the button under the battery, with no success. He returned it to the store, they only reflashed the stock rom, it worked for a day now it's the same. Has anybody find any solution to this? I tried to search for exact similar problems, but I couldn't find any with proper answers. I think he is on 4.3. Thanks for any help!

yes.. flash stock 4.1.2 ftf with flash tool.. if that not solve your problem then 99% is hardware issue..
btw i tell you to flash 4.1.2 and not 4.3 cause 4.3 is full of bugs..
You can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952 to do this... but i prefer u to install 4.1.2 (12.0.A.1.257 or 12.0.A.2.254).. if you install 12.0.A.1.257 then update to 12.0.A.2.254 with your phone not with sus.. cause with sus it will go to buggy 4.3 (12.1.A.0.266).. for 4.3 this week i think sony will release new bugfixing version

TMOBILE 4.4.2 Kitkat

In the past week on 2 occasions I woke up with a notification from Tmobile saying it was the download for the 4.4.2 Kickat update. So I downloaded it (both times) then clicked install. It booted into recovery and said it was applying the update, then it would reboot to the phone. Then I'd check and I was still on 4.2.2. I called tmo today and they said they're having tons of trouble getting this update out and it's not an issue with my phone. Did This happen to anyone else....?
