hi ,
I am totally new all this , and i am trying to root my phone and i am stuck.
I searched some tutorials and following the instructions.
Its written that i need to open odlin and them go to download mode and root
But odlin is a aplication and download mode is something you do when phone is off ?
How will i open odlin when phone will be switched off ?
and when i open odlin i get error that you need to have super user.
I installed super user but i don't know how to load app in it ? it says no app in list....
and how do i use that jv6 flash file ?....i am confused.. Please help.
these are 2 guide i was following

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966 - its written that you go in download mode and open odlin , how is this possible ? when phone is off and you can open any app ?
bump.....still need this help
Im guessing this is the first time flashing/rooting. Take your time coz what your playing with can mess up your phone.
Firstly, to put your phone in download mode. Do this by:
-First switching your phone off
-Now hold down these buttons at the same time: Power button + Home button + volume down button
-Hold them all down till you see the yellow triangle icon
-Once u see that, your in download mode
Now its important to follow the steps given in the guide about using Odin
nvm its rooted now , i found out that odin is a windows app not android.
Thanks stil..
i flash my phone with odin then i understand that bad select on file ! when finish flash , my phone not start and nothing to show me
Which ROM did you try flashing?

Really appriciate for your helping comments....
but.
how do i suppose to do that, where no power no led and no response from FlashTools....?
please give some instruction Step by Step
I already have CM11 (4.4) kitkat with Gapps.
but how to give the kernel for cm11 4.4?
thnks...mate
Hey, first to answer your question, the CM 11 kernel is inside the ROM .zip called "boot.img". So just to understand you, you have had eXistenZ Ultra 1.3.7 (which is in case no ROM but a kind of update) and then you Installed mahdi ROM over it, right? And now your phone is like dropped into a pool. If so the chance to reanimate your phone is unfortunately very low. I heard about a USB-JIG and J-TAG which can help but don't know if that works.
Nevertheless, I hope I could help a little bit and good luck

Just to last check...

just relax and
open the CMD in your computer
type fast boot flashboot boot.img (kernal file inside cm 11 zip file)
cmd windows will say waiting for the phone.
now connect the usb while pressing volume down and hold the power button for two to three seconds.
ther is nothing to hard brick the device.wht ur problem is u have wrong kernal for the rom to boot.(cm11 rom and it has doom kernal, becouse boot.img file from cm11 has not push to the phone correctly when flashing the cm rom.
make sure ur battery is not empty.

@shojeep, first, calm down! Most of Sony's devices only brick when you try to do something with TA partition...
If you tried to flash a wrong kernel it will only softbrick.
first, breathe a little, keep calm and in hope is gonna work.
Now, with all the calm of the world,try the following: hold the glory hole poweroff button for 10 seconds (located on the back cover of the phone)
next, you will connect usb cable on phone (DONT CONNECT THE OTHER SIDE ON PC, JUST USB ON PHONE)
then, you have to hold just the vol+ button by 10 seconds, and NOW you connect the usb on PC. Phone should be detected by Windows 7.
now you open flashtool, and see if the phone is being detected by FlashTool.
if yes, hold power button until phone vibrates. Now you connect the phone on the pc holding vol- button to enter on flashmode
flash this: 2.254 kernel , and later flash the full ftf 2.254 to the phone.
hope it works.

So u bricked the phone.... Its impossible u cant connect it in flash mode, hold the power button and the vol up button and hold them for a few secs, and u will feel 3 vibrations now we are sure that the phone is powered off. Then connect it to ur pc holding phone's power and vol up buttons to go in fastboot (green led as i remember). If u need more instructions to do more let me know, i'll try to help u. I bricked and hard bricked my phone many times and i always managed to recover it, flashing a new kernel with fastboot and installing a new rom/kernel.

Well download fastboot and its drivers, download a kernel like doomkernel and extract the boot.IMG or The kernel.elf u find in the zip. Then u flash the kernel using : fastboot flash boot boot.img (or kernel.elf).

remove the battery for 10 sec or force power off completely by holding vol up down and power button . using flashtool connect the mobile only when it say connect. i mean just select the rom and click flash without connecting the phone . then in a few sec it will ask you to connect the mobile . connect it by holding the vol down button . hope it works
