Well, i've unlocked the bootloader (s1tool sayed it was "SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" , and then r8a029) xperia x8
Then i flashed from flashtool (the 64bit version) the nAa ics kernel.
However when i turn on the phone it vibrates , the lights and leds are on, but nothin else. Then it shut down. So i can't access recovery or flashing something else with flashtool because it says that drivers are not installed.
I think it's not hard-bricked because it has some reactions.
Any idea?
It's not hard bricked. Hard brick is when there is absolutely no response from the phone.
Repair using pcc and try again.
And yes, your bl is unlocked. Grats

30/022/2012 18:22:07 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:343) - Error flashing. Aborted

Never got that error. Did you install the x8 drivers? And you're flashing the right x8 kernel, right?

I did a quick google search on the error. It seems it has something to do with you pc's usb drivers. Try another version of flashtool? I admit i'm confused about it, too. Fotak?

How did you find out that flashtool was flashing kernel. I have kept log level to debug, still I don't see any statement indicating tool is trying to flash kernel. In fact I tried to flash just loader and even that failed with same error.
Your reply will help me narrow down the possible causes. Thanks in advance!!

Try installing GordonGate driver pack. Seems you have problem with usb driver.
Hello I'm not able to install fastboot drivers from my xperia T on my pc. I have the setup file in the right map under sdk, extras, google, usb_drivers. When I try fastboot with my phone, the device pops up as unknown devce. When I try to install those drivers windows says there not supported for this device.
Windows 8 64bit
Xperia T Stock (only root acces)
help pleas. If needed I also can enable TeamViewer;
Goto the driver folder of flashtool and run drivers.exe
choose drivers for
TX, fastboot and flashmode
I'm trying to install the flashtool, though during installation, my Pc crashes... Need to solve that first :/

Can't you install unsigned drivers by rebooting Windows and disabling driver signature enforcement?

Haven't try that... But I've done it now via Ubuntu, bootloader successfully unlocked, and doomkernel succefully installed but I'll try it later on today, in case some other people have the same problem.

Here,
I found a way to install the fastboot drivers on windows 8.
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170114 It worked for me (;
That is indeed what I meant, seems a bit easier to me than installing another OS

Yes it is, I suppose I should have linked that first, its just I a really getting into trying all this using Ubuntu as works a lot more seamlessly than on windows.

hi
i need FTF firmwares for my xperia z c6602
now iam on 253 i want to downgread to root it

You dont have to unlock your bootloader to flash these
Choose 434

No need to downgrade any more.
I'm not sure why the previous poster didn't just link you to that method as they are well aware that it exists.
Just as an aside, people begging for thanks when posting a reply to somebody's question should have their thanks meter disabled IMHO

Make sure the PC companion or Sony Update tool is not running.
If it still doesn't work, then make sure all drivers for your phone are installed correctly.

Are you sure PC Companion or SUS isn't active in the system tray? It cannot be active in any way, background or not.
If not, do you have anything else running that is used to manage your phone? Nothing else that uses ADB can be active on your PC when you're trying to run the tool including flashtool etc.
Try reinstalling drivers etc, use a different USB port/cable or even a different PC.
If nothing works, then I don't know what else to suggest. The tool works just fine for everyone else.

If you install the Sony PC companion, adb drivers should be installed at the same time. That's all I have done.

Hi there,
I recently unlocked the bootloader on my Xperia Z so i could root my phone. I want to revert back to the stock firmware originally on the phone and tried downloading what i believed to be the stock firmware and flashed the device but everytime i try to install the newly released 4.2.2 firmware, it keeps telling me that it fails as the phone has modified firmware. I have tried using the sony update service but i get the same error and really have no clue on how to rectify this. Please help as im worried ive completely messed up the phone.
TIA
Use EMMA Flashtool. Read everything and you are ready to go.
Don't use PC Companion or Sony Update Software on an unlocked device.
Thanks for the info.
I followed the instructions in the help file but everytime i run the software, my system crashes out and i cant seem to run it
Blue screen? Could be drivers issue.
You could download a stock FTF and flash it with Flashtool too. Same effect as EMMA.
It's a case of actually finding a stock ftf

Hi,
I am not able to update my XZ to the latest .244 firmware. Here are some info of my Phone.
1) locked bootloader (it is unlockable)
2) current on .423 firmware.
3) rooted
4) install superSU (with survival mode on)
5) install OTA rootkeeper.
I saw some post stating that they are able to keep root after OTA, so i am hoping to keep my root too after OTA.
please advise.
I have exactly the same problem. Cant do OTA and im states scared to update through PC companion since my friend bricked up the phone.

Are you running stock .423 odexed? I had this issue when I flashed a deodexed ROM then tried OTA update

Hi,
It is not possible to do a OTA Update after deleting one or more system apps (even stuff like partnerbookmarks).
There are, however, 2 ways to get the Update.
1.) Follow some of the instructions here like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287149
There are some other ways posted here at xda. They use the flashtool to flash current firmware.
2.) Use Sony PC Companion, this will work ALWAYS,but: Root will be gone. U can use Doomlords rooting method to get Root again:

PC Update will never fail, the only thing is that you lose root access, which can be easily recovered though.

Hi mate, dont panic. Just follow the instructions on how to flash a stock firmware with flashtool. This is already described here at xda, try searching for it. It will repair your phone but data may be lost.
