HELP!! Xperia U!!

ST25i ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54

I had problems when I tried to flash Vision ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001461) onto my Xperia U which had cm9 running on it.

It just got stuck on the FreeXperiaProject screen and it didn't boot any further.

Anyway I solved the prob by flashing stock ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104071) using flashtool.

I found that it was not rooted. So I tried to root with Bin4ry, but that didn't work. I tried to root using flashtool, that too didn't work.

So, I flashed the stock ROM again, but this time I excluded everything but kernel. Then I tried to root via Bin4ry, flashtool, but failed.

Then, I got the kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717270 and ***flashed it using cmd.

From then nothing worked. Phone didn't boot, flash mode and fastboot didn't work.

I tried removing the battery and putting it back. Then when I press power button, the phone vibrates, and you can see a hint of green light the LED bar. That's all. Nothing else happens.

Plz HELP!

***I extracted the .zip (attached with this post). Placed the kernel.elf in that folder. Opened cmd there. Typed in "fastboot flash boot kernel.elf", "fastboot reboot". That's all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
That kernel is for GB!.

You need to flash kernel.sin from ICS stock ftf.

Without flashmode or fastboot mode,it is impossible to solve soft brick.There is thread in General section about Soft-brick ,try that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monsterkrusher:
I just discovered that flash and fastboot are working. The prob is that it doesn't stay long enough.

It'd be helpful if you get me the link.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
If you already have the stock FTF, just deselect the top right options for Wiping and Select all the Exclude options on bottom right except 'Exclude Kernel' and Flash with Flashtool ;)

That will fix the issue :P But I suggest you reflash the entire FTF,kernel and all to avoid further issues :P

Unfortunately mate, only way to make an FTF is from Sony's Update Service files. Not possible to manually pack it,atleast as far as I know :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monsterkrusher:
All done. I've flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104071

using flashtool.

Now the service menu says bootloader is unlocked. Root explorer says phone is not rooted.

I tried to root via Bin4ry, but failed. Flashtool root also didn't work.

Now I'd like to root and flash Vision..

What do I do?

Can't decide Rom for my Sola

Hi all,

I'm new, hope I'm in the right place to write this.

I'm quite satisfied with my Sola, I got it BL unlocked and now I use pulak's fluidity overclocked ROM, which is great.

I'd like to ask you which ROM combines better performance and stabilty.

Maybe the actual one is the best, but I only tried some Stock based ROMs.

Thank you,

Angus

So still not able to achieve anything.:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
For NXT phones, you need to hold the Vol Down. key for Flashmode and Vol Up. for fastboot :p Here, you need flashmode for the ftf hence, Vol Down :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ron525:
Thank's for your advice it took about 4 shots flashing back to earlier kernal first time made a mess of the phone, finally got phone rooted.:)

Now I am not sure what to do as the phone still says it is 6.1.1.B.1.54 not .10 sould I still re flash .54

Thanks again:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
The rom is supposed to be B.1.54 ;) You needed to flash B.1.10 kernel as rooting exploit is patched in B.1.54. But root is a part of the rom,not the kernel so once rooted,flashing back B.1.54 kernel wont cause you to loose root :P

If you finished rooting, follow the same procedure as flashing B.1.10 kernel to flash back B.1.54 kernel ;) Then you are ready to roll :D

XPERIA U FXP CyanogenMod 9.3

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone out there who made the CM9.3 possible.

So, I flashed the ROM yesterday, everything's working fine. Top of the line, except that I have a strange problem.

The illumination bar at the bottom of my phone isn't working. When I boot it, it switches on, *White* and when I charge, it turns YELLOW and stays like that, along with the Phone LED on top.

Its kind of frustrating.

Any kind of help would be appreciated! :)

Thank You. And, this is my first post, hope I din't break any forum rules!

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The_0bserver:
There are fixes for that issue. (I hope u mean CM 9.1, I do'nt think there is a CM9.3 ver.)

Anyways check this Thread . That is proper Thread for Rundong's Illumination bar app (which u are most probably running). There is a fix by the user myzar, which u can find by derping through the thread. Else I believe Rundong himself has a fix for this. Enjoy.

Re: [HELP THREAD][Xperia P,U,Sola & Go]Ask any question.For everyone and anyone!

1. Rooting will not cause the loss of data, however unlocking the bootloader will cause the loss of your drm keys permanently.

2. AFAIK both are similar, but it's better to use root many tool. Although you may have to downgrade your kernel
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lucsz:
Thanks for the response.

- What should I exclude in flashtool in order to downgrade the kernel? Everything except the straight kernel, or do I leave the fota kernel in too? Are my flash settings good for downgrading (see attachment)?
