So.... I just killed my phone.

Tried unlocking the bootloader last night using the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225)...
went back to stock rom (just to be safe) did everything all right up to step 5c.
started flashtool, plugged in my device however flashtool could not recognize it. it kept asking me what phone i had, after i ticked th e15 ( i have e15i) it could not let me do anything undere plugins. after closing flashtool and restarting the procces a couple of times i guess i disconnected the cable without closing flashtool and then it happened.
all of that just because i wanted wifi tethering. Ironicly, I found out about Barnacle about an hour after it happened. right now my phone is at the shop, waiting for news.
So.... to sum up. If anyone wants to know how not to unlock his bootloader, THIS IS HOW

woahh.. that's pain..

OMG I DIED AT THE SAME PART U DID ..high 5 ...so yea..i oso sent mine to the repairman...lets hope for good news for both of us =) , mine just wont respond to anything and ended up being a brick

I broke my phone ( radio off ) using this same guide too, have to re-lock in order to get back to work. Read other guides and finally managed to unlock the ootloader! Basically this guide is rather confusing and somehow the flow of processes are not well written! After having gone through the whole experience, it's actually a very simple process!
You have my sympathy!

does anyone know why it happened? Why weren't our phones recognized leading to the brick?
what do we have to do differently?

I have to agree with u those steps are confusing for first time unlocker and you have to re-read multiple times to summary and simplify it (i use that tutorial though).
Relocking bootloader is kinda confusing too..

Return to the official original edition
I think you have to download a Flashtool up to date.Then fash to the official original edition

Actually, re-locking is pretty simple, connect your phone to S1tool-1, and press " RESTORE" button, viola, done. Only the guide tries to get very technical complicated and confuse everyone!

I too find the guide rather confusing... Which other guides did you read? I couldn't find any. Thanks!
and @dovdevan05: Dont expect too much of barnacle. Lot's of people have problems with it. Like in my case I can connect to my phone but my computer wont get an IP and hence no internet. + barnacle only offers Ad-Hoc-Wifi which means that you cannot connect other devices like a tablet ot phones to it because they usualy dont support Ad-Hoc. Like in my case my XOOM wont even see the barnacle Ad-Hoc network and I would have to unlock and root it to install AdHoc support. Well. I'd rather brick my X8 than my XOOM...

[Q] Completely Dead

Hi
what i did.
I unlocked the Bootloader via Flashtool
Rooted the device
Installed TW Recovery.
Installed iHackers 4.
All was fine until i saw the i wasnt connected to my Network Provider .
AHH i forgot to flash "Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.3.A.0.757].ftf"
So i went into flashtool and flashed it, excluding everything execpt Kernel and Baseband.
The flashtool finshed and the device shut down. And thats it. Since then nothing. Not even
the led or something is showing any lifesignal. I tryed every button combi. The red reset button.
Tryed to enter flashmode.. NOTHING!!! What the ?! ANy ideas what i can do?
Last time i checked the accu was @ 93 %. I have it now on the charger dock hoping it is just a battery issue. No combination (pwr+vol+ or pwr+vol- etc.) working so far.
thanx

I started the Flashtool .. clicked on BLU and followed the instructions.
ANd the flashtool successfully unlocked the booloader
But thats not my problem. The Phone is dead.. I does not give

or any way to use adb .. to work.

Yes it is a problem.
Even in this Tutorial is all well explained that you have to use the OFFICIAL Sony way to unlock Bootloader,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right.
Maybe I am wrong but this is how supposed to be to avoid issues.
Then you phone is bricked and you have to follow other instruction to check if still can be resurrected, there is many Threads on XDA about this.

Wow i haven't thought that I get some nagging here instead of constructive suggestions. In any case i will let the phone on the charger for 24 hours and see if it helps. Also I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BOOTLOADER ISSUE!!! All worked fine.. I booted into ihackers 4 multiple times without any problems.. Also the Phone would show ANY signes of life, eg. LED RED or blinking etc..But nothing
ALSO:
"..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right."
In the "getting started" thread of z1 it is suggested to use the flashtool! And like i said .. it finished successfully..

Ok, If you are so sure then Ok, but still weird, as I follow different instruction and never had a problem then people do on they way and later have problems. It can be a coincidence and maybe is not your case, but sometime thinking easy can compromise the whole process.
I flashed different patches on mine Kernel I kill my phone few times and mine was completely dead, no led nothing, but it boot into Flashmode or Fastboot, you have somehow go in that mode and flash again, this is the only soft solution.
If you will not be able to do so then you have to go with the Test Pins, open your back cover and try to resurrect it, the hard way.

I don't understand what went wrong. After flashing the Kernel and Baseband the flashtool said everything went fine eand restarted the device. It turned off and nothing since then. I cant even get into flashboot or flashmode. It feels likt the accu is broken because there is nothing happening whatever i do. I think there is no power. I will not open the device because i still have 2 years of waranty (i hope they repair it as waranty case, if i am lucky) Else I will pay for the repair. We'll see. If this is an accu failure it should be a waranty case.
I had it for about 8 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "machine". Sometimes i feel like trowing it against a wall to see if it reanimates it... But i can keep myself from doing it. =)
We'll see..

probably stupid guess: maybe ur phone just stucked on something and may not be completely switched off??
press vol+ and power button, see if ut vibrates 3 times
if it does, congrats an flash kernel again

If not then its Sony's problem probably a faulty device. Send warranty and don't mention bootloader, root or ROM.

Did you make sure USB debugging is checked, and the phone had a popup saying that it see's the USB debugging. Sounds like that's the issue.
Why pray tell do you want to unroot. There are very specific instructions to relocking the bootloader, in fact is is HIGHLY recommended that you do not try to lock the bootloader, you could have a paperweight if done wrong. But there are instructions on how to do it. If you relock, follow these instructions to the letter

Go to bootloader and it will tell you if it is unlocked. Then read, read, read again before you brick the device. More than likely you need the device and Mac drivers. Also will need Mac supported SDK/ADB-Fastboot. There are threads for Mac somewhere to get it going.

That is a good thing. Need to find the drivers so it sees your device. First thing can try is plug in USB with phone off and boot to bootloader and see if it will self install the drivers. Other than that I know nothing about Mac. Just Linux and Windows. Will have to search for the Mac fix. It is in the threads somewhere.

help with fastboot for newbie

i have xperia zr cc5502 with 5.1.1 stock installed on it
i have tried to follow CM tutorial on thier site wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_yuga
but when im trying to do fastboot im getting waiting for device's and i do have fastboot installed via android studio
and i managed to get my phone into fastboot mode(blue notification light)
thanks

Did you install the relevant drivers for the ZR? Easiest way to do this would be by installing Flashtool (by Androxyde), which includes a GUI for flashing images via fastboot.

i have downloaded the program
i looked online to how to get scatter-loading file
and when i followed the instruction
its says i dont have mtd file or emmc

also i tired to follow the guide here developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/imei-verification/79e3de6c1cdcb72796f5497654fe1c6769602ea35174b9a25be5cab6f6d90919f8448ef693675ac8fd8b9aa0a0520820d90f6e15c7efd5b0934255d1b7f3ec95
but when i type fastboot devices
i get nothing i return (although i can see the blue light )

That's because you don't have the drivers installed. And I didn't mean SP Flashtool - that's for MediaTek devices. We use Flashtool by Androxyde (Google it) for Xperia devices, and it's a lot less difficult to use (no scatter files, for example). There are several guides on XDA for Flashtool, look for one. In those guides, you'll see how to install the drivers. Also, Flashtool can unlock your bootloader without wiping the internal data or anything, so it's preferable to the normal way.

okay i followed the instructions and it said everything went successfully
but from some reason the light switched from blue to red and then no light and now i cant enter any mode(fastboot or recovery)
i used the the instructions here orum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952
edit: if i pull out the battery and then turn it back in and then press the power button it vibrates for a second
edit 2: the phone began to heat up,now it's very hot and it's connected to anything

That's odd... Please state exactly what you did, what you flashed (if you did flash something), and if possible, the Flashtool output for the operations.

i dont know what they did,but im glad it's working
also i see when the phone starts up the Entel logo(which is Chilean telecommunications company), can you tell why?

Sounds like your phone magically became carrier customized, which probably means the motherboard was replaced, or a new bootloader/ROM specific to that carrier was flashed.

Sony Mobile Flasher stuck on getvar:max-download-size (Flashing Xperia 10)

Hello,
I got my Xperia 10 into a bootloop. I'm still able to enter recovery, but I've never been able to get out of the bootloop, no matter what I tried.
I started trying to flash software onto it with Sony Mobile Flasher. I'm using version 0.9.28.0. Every time I try flashing, the process gets stuck on the same line:
Sending getvar:max-download-size
Does anyone know what exactly this means or how I can fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated. :good:

Did you find a solution, I am facing the same problem.

The problem stopped occurring.
However, I began having problems with the missing flash script. I fixed that and was able to flash firmware from XperiFirm.
Do you have a missing script file as well or is it just me?

Update
Here's an update.
The problem with getting stuck on getvar:max-download-size only occurs if it's the second time flashing the device after initial connection (and any attempt after that I guess).
This means, connect the phone, try flashing. If for some reason you try another flash without disconnecting the phone, it will get stuck.
This has always helped me, not sure if it's a universal solution.

I see. Thanks! Just curious, that applies to all Xperia phones and all ROMs or is it different for older ones?
Also, is a flash script needed for NewFlasher. I don't think one is, but I haven't looked into NewFlasher as much as I should have.

I think it's for all Xperias after 2019! No flash script needed. You just have to have fastboot drivers and the drivers for your phone! No need to have your bootloader unlocked either.

You can use newflasher(https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426 to flash the firmware

Tried via newflasher, deleted all .ta files, even in boot folder, but i got again and again getvar:max-download-size error. Any solution, please?
Edit: Solved. Forgot to tap on usb debugging option and then allow to computer
Solutions:
1. Tap many times build number to open developer options
2. Turn on usb debugging
3. Connect phone via cable while it is turned on and press Allow when computer asks in it
4. Then try to flash android 10. Write n n n to commands, no need any gordon driver or etc
Maybe need restart phone and pc one time, when you turn on usb debugging and then Allow it
Also i installed android driver, after connect via cable, it was yellow ? <= that sign (in computer > manage > device manager)

Try closing the program and opening it again.
Make sure it's always the first flash after opening the program.
That's what solved it for me. Though honestly, this was more than a year ago , new versions of FlashTool might not have this problem anymore? I honestly don't know, haven't tried in a while.
