OK, first let's see what is the problem.

It may be FTF file, your computer or phone.

First let's see if it is FTF file. Try to download from this link and flash. Maybe it is my problem but I don't think so.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lazeus:
I have no idea why, but while flashing it stucks at flashing loader and it never gets past that.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
yes

well, i will try the new link and report that too.

it probably is not my phone, im already in FXP am i not? Im pretty sure it will work if i get to install flashtool on my linux (i have never been able to flash anything using windows) but unfortunately i dont know how to install flash tool on ubuntu. i tried a guide online and it failed (problem installing jre) and im experimenting using three computers... the win8 fails drastically, win7 is my results and ubuntu i explained. i had to flash fxp from ubuntu terminal.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

so you disconnect mid-flash? you disconnected while it was flashing the bootloader?!??!??!?!??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Try that. If fails I will tell you what to do on your computer to maybe solve the problem.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lazeus:
Yes I disconnected the phone after 30 mins....It stucks at flashing the loader
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
OK, got it working, its flashing now.

All I had to do was change SD card.... I don't know what was wrong with it... anyway now it worked. Flashtool acted differently too though. Furthermore, I used my old crappy FTF, rather than your one, since I cannot download your one... A.5.5 is what I flashed. Thank you anyway ;)

Now, I'd like a 'better tutorial' on how to root this crappy old 5.5. Can I do it without flashing a new ROM? Thank you for the support, Option58, you are indeed the best.

EDIT: forgot to mention, I was on FXP 212 back then, I successfully flashed when using FXP 214.

I say successful, but I may have bootloop :p I will update once more to say if I successfully booted my interface.

EDIT2: Yep, just as I clicked submit, my android booted. Thanks!

EDIT3: Rooted by flashing Vengeance kernel (and then using touch recovery to root). I am very happy with this thread, thank all of you very much. Turns out Flashtool hates SD cards! Who knew? :p
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
Did you have your device on debug mode/ unknown sources?

Can you try installing anything with no FTF involved? Say, install FXP; but use terminal (CMD) to install rather than flash tool. download the latest FXP version, it will be a zip file. Extract boot.img from the zip; and put the zip file on your SD card. Now, put the boot.img you extracted in the same folder as your fastboot (C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\ by default in Windows, just check. If you don't have, download from Google.)

Now cd to the same folder in CMD and type

fastboot devices

You should see something.

If you do, then type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now type

fastboot reboot

And when your LED flashed purple, press volume buttons.

Now flash your zip file. This should at the very least get your phone working for when you need it...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Seriously guys, we need mirrors. People can't download from this hoster. Interested PM me. Help really needed.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] droidriz:
check your pm :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Thanks man! Hopefully we will have some other hoster options available soon.

I am uploading now 11.0.A.2.10 for Xperia Miro ST23i that is requiered for rooting (to bitshare.com :P).
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Zeehan:
Fearing the worst :(

okay , guys so this is what happened,

i have a miro on ICS

i tried to to put CM 10 jelly bean on it. (Free xperia Project)

i followed all the instructions given in the how To', except for one :eek:

i overlooked on the kernel installation procedure(my bad ) and i directly went for the ROM and Gapps one.

i did all this through the latest Version of CWM, it successfully installed both, ROM and gapps.

but after that i tried to reboot, it didn't reboot :crying: :crying:

all it does is that, when i press the power button, it vibrates once, and if i constantly press on the vibrate button, it constantly Keeps on vibrating :/

without showing anything on the screen, please tell me that i can go back to stock rom somehow, and and follow the procedures properly this time :crying:

i have no idea on where to start from, as im new to the xperia's, im pretty well known with the odin method used in the samsungs

so please any guide towards this would be pretty helpful.

thanks in advance :)

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Just install ftf from this thread and you will be ok. Read my instructions.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Zeehan:
Droid.Riz

thank you so much for the early reply.

but as u said, about " Go to settings and enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources."

my phone doesn't even turn on, hw am i supposed to do that?

and battery, it was around 65%, before this whole thing happened, do i need to charge it to 100%?

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Options58

Thank You so much bro,

I'm downloading the 11.0.A.5.5 :good:

and i'll follow your Instructions!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] droidriz:
its ok you can skip it yes charge atleast about 80% :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
I was about to lose my warranty few months ago. Because I had root and my phone did not want to charge. Meanwhile battery went to zero.

I have managed to charge it to 20 percent and flash. It was successful! So when it is emergency, you can flash it despite low battery. :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
Either that, or just plug into fastboot and flash cm10 kernel. Now reflash FXP files.

Don't forget the wiping ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] droidriz:
:good:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Zeehan:
guys, i successfully flashed it to stock ! :)

thank you sooo much Y'all :good: :D:D much appreciated!

now comes another dilemma :confused:

whenever i try to flash the kernel through fastboot,

using that flashboot command, it says

" FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first) "

what i dont understand now is, although my device is rooted and its bootloader is unlocked , still i get the above error :confused:

any ideas guys?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Zeehan:
guys, found out the culprit.

its the bootloader, it wasn't unlocked properly, i followed the steps to unlock the bootloader, unlocked it again, though it was unlocked , and flashed the boot.img after that, and there i go, Officially cyanogenised :P

just in case someone needs it.:good:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
Thank you for posting the way you fixed it up. Maybe someone will find this and be thankful later :)

In another note, is anyone else's 11.0.A.5.5 sluggish at all? I know this is not technically the place to talk about this, but I felt it was slightly relevant. My phone is sluggish when I wake it up, and then becomes smooth over time... Is there something I can do to make it better? I really hate slowness. this bothers me particularly when the screen goes off when I talk to friends and then when I turn then screen on (take it away from my ear) it is really slow to respond to my trying to hang up. the button just goes white and stares at me...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Yeah, me too. I am really annoyed. If you install Nova launcher it becomes bit smoother though.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
Nova looks like crap. Using wp7 launcher donate and go locker like I want, and luckily that's ok. I am testing this:

Setcpu; between 9:00 and 22:30 max 600 min 122 (vengeance kernel) set to activate only if screen off. Governor set on on demand. I'll report my results here I guess. I have to say, SwiftKey works really nice if you don't multi task much :P
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] pericopalotes1973:
Maybe a stupid question but...

Can I flash the unbranded firmware even with booloader locked?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Yes you can. Added to FAQ by the way.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] mlm1102003:
is thereany link other than the google or yandex for

ST23I_11.0.A.5​.8_GLOBAL.ftf
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
What 11.0.A.5.8? On Sony's official site 11.0.A.5.5 is the latest. I get nothing on my PC Companion also...

Could you post that links here?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] PersianSphinx:
11.0.A.5.8 Is the firmware my phone was shipped with, I believe the only difference is Vodafone bloatware :)

(Therefore probably branded)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Thanks :\

I believe we have ftf somewhere, and it says generic. Maybe someone wanna try?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
ST23i 11.0.A.5.8

Link HERE.

But this is most likely Vodafone firmware. - Nothing improved just 11.0.A.5.5 with Vodafone apps. More bloatware.

40MB higher than 11.0.A.5.5.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] izuall187:
if I flash the American FW on an international Miro, will I be able to resolve the 3G issue in case it happens if I flash the international 5.5 FW?

Any response is highly appreciated. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Yes.

Ohhhh, that reminded me I still haven't uploaded 11.0.A.2.10 international :\
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] izuall187:
great! already gotten it rooted. but after I flashed 2.10 fw then rooted using the method on op, whenever I flash 5.5 and run the 2nd exe to push superuser, it doesn't recognize root permissions... hmmmm... and my bootloader is unlocked.....
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
You need to click "allow" on your phone's screen while rooting.

when i want to install driver (flashtools>derivers) xperia j/miro/tipo not included.

how can i install this phones drivers?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iiigeorgievi:
Will there be official Jelly Been for Xperia Miro?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Install Sony PC Companion. That will be it.

No. Never.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
I got a new PM from user

elhackermlxp

to post here new firmware.

11.0.A.5.8 for ST23a.

Enjoy. Download HERE.

---------------------------

I'm not sure what will I do with this 11.0.A.5.8 and if this is 11.0.A.5.5 with vodafone bloatware. :\

Nothing new on my PC Companion with ST23i :\
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] xperia_pro:
1.1.0.A.5.8 have better battery durability, better performance and solved my problem with wifi disconections ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Great! Have you got any bloatware?

EDIT: Ohh, when I opened ftf 11.0.A.5.8 for ST23i I saw (amss_fsg_VODAFONE.sin.sin) file. Seems this is branded.

Now does anyone have this clean in the PC Companion? Without installing this firmware from my post.

Maybe If I delete that file hmmm....

EDIT1: Guys, take a look at these links:

Vodafone site in spanish - Try to use page translator in Google Chrome.

Latest firmware in Sony's site

So this is surely branded. Maybe vodafone did improve the firmware. But it is branded. I will notice it on my post now.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ruixico85:
hi...i m new in this forum but about that latest post i believe u cant install that firmware because is for all xperia miro from vodafone and if your miro isnt boatloader unlocked and not free from gsm network u cant install that fw.....but if you miro is unlocked from gsm networks or boatloader unlocked u can install 11.0.a.5.8 fw....i think......but we all want new fw's and i believe maybe its smart if we wait from sony 11.0.a.5.8 release...isnt branded and its smothest and it doesnt have all aplications from our network operators.....sorry for my english

regards from portugal....
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Actually I think you can. But it is really pointless to overbloat your phone.

boot.img

recovery.img

sytem.img

userdata.img

splash.img

cache.img

thanks in advance. i cant be using my old xperia x8 anymore XD

Miro st23i - rooted, unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
You have poor internet... but you still must to download files, u know? !!!

Look what files include stock ftf file:

:laugh:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Find some friend to download ftf for ya. :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Oh gosh...:\

It's all messy :\

So you are saying that 5.8 for st23a isn't branded. Have you got any official 5.8 updates via PC Companion when you are on 2.10? - Non branded.

And one more thing - I can't download 5.8 for st23i on yandex. Download doesn't start. Can someone?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] xperia_pro:
Ok lets be clear

For ST23A here in Mexico I got the OFFICIAL UPDATE 5.8 via PC companion WITHOUT any brand when I was in 2.10 version WITHOUT any brand too before.

I never got the 5.5 official update, I flashed the O2 version of st23I

a friend said me that the 5.8 version was released via PC companion

so I flashed the 2.10 version without brand of st23a and PC companion showed an update

And now I have the 5.8 version.

And I can download from yandex without problems
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Option58:
Great dude!

1. So can somebody confirm we have here non-branded st23a 5.8??? Or can you upload yours?

2. I know we surely have here branded 5.8 st23i. There is vodafone name in ftf files. Can somebody upload non branded 5.8. for st23i? Nothing here yet (See my nick).
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Buzzbox88:
Sorry for the late reply. Ran out of net.

So here's the deal. I managed to get hold of the ftf. One from this thread. And one generic. I have flashed, first the one from here and then the generic one.. they both hang on the Sony logo and do not much more. I tried flashing FXP boot.img and I can get it into cwm recovery and flash cm10 onto it (no errors) but it still hangs on the free xperia logo after wiping. So I'm not sure where to go from here.

If it helps. It says something like E: can't retrieve / open recovery log when start up cwm. And in fastboot I can't wipe or flash to recovery. (Possibly a prob with my .img.

I did the defeated thing and took it to the shop and they want to send it away but I will have to pay once they work out ts my error, so I still have it dead battery and all. If someone can help I will be forever In debt. :(
