[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] D_Nikhil:
Unable to flashboot ROM

I was trying to install Night Hollar ROM, but I missed the first step i.e. flashing the kernel. I proceeded with the rest of the steps. Now when the phone starts it shows the SONY logo and the switches off.

I tried flashing the kernel and flashing to stock firmware using flashboot. But failed every time I tried. Below is the log from flashboot in flashmode:

bricked :(

i think i bricked my tipo :( i'm new to these things. first i unlocked the device, then rooted. i installed jbmp5 rom without flashing boot.img. it caused the bootloop problem. and i tried a crazy thing and tried to flash boot.img

now, when i push the power botton, it only vibrates a little, then nothing. i'm very hopeless about that but can i fix my device. i need a hope :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Ewano:
Hard bricked Tipo - need help with using QPST.

So first lets just state I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to Android phone flashing - so some of the terms used in the forums are unknown by me. Now the good stuff - hey, I'm an IT geek, so some of the terms are going to be interchangeable with stuff I already know.

So this is my problem:

I have hard bricked my Tipo. It was a few months ago (hey, I was busy) so my recollection will be a little hazy but here is how:

I read a bunch about flashing ROMs, rooted the phone, downloaded the latest rom from FreeXperiaProject (FXP237-cm-10-20130917-UNOFFICIAL-tapioca_ss), stuck it on the sdcard, ran through the flashing procedure as laid out in the projectfreexperia howto-install page - that I can't link to here yet..

Somewhere in there I installed ClockWorkMod.

So far so good.

I then read somewhere a post about editing void.stab to switch round the external sdcard and the internal flash memory - not sure why now, but it must have been something that seemed like a good idea at the time. After doing this and rebooting all came up as expected with the external sdcard as the primary storage.

Now that I had my phone how I wanted it - I decided to do factory reset to delete any old data. Immediate brick.

My suspicion is that the factory reset tried to format the external card, and ended up formatting it's own boot area and file system.

On power button press I get:

no lights

no vibration

can't get to fastboot/flashboot? (press vol - and power)

no CWM

Only bit of activity is when plugged into a PC (Vista or Ubuntu) I found an unrecognised device which turned out to be "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"

After a bit of googling I found some drivers and some software called QPST and after installing all that I can see the device is in Download mode - hurrah!

Now I thought to myself - If I can get hold of a working Tipo (now bought from ebay) and backup the existing firmware/ROM/OS (right terminology here?) maybe I can upload the original firmware onto to the bricked phone. (I suspect this might be a little more involved and possibly require taking a backup of the partition structure on the working phone first - but I've not read that far yet)

After that is just to figure out how to put the original IMEI number for the phone back into the relevant file on the device.

So the question is - how do I get the working Tipo into some kind of mode where it can talk to QPST?

I found a guide for a Samsung on the s3forums which I can't link to but if you search for "1614-backup-qpst-backup-your-nv-data-imei-us-variants" on google you will find it...

and I think this is what I'm trying to achieve with the Tipo.

Here however my knowledge runs out, and I thought I better post some kind of message asking for some help.

Oh - Hi by the way..

Can anybody pls help?

I'm no noob to xperia phones but its the first time i got so stuck with them!!

Here's the story:

I bought a xperia miro yesterday. Rooted it via rootunlocker, installed cmw recovery (just recovery), then tried to update to JB with no luck (obviasly).

Phone woudn't boot. So i flashed it using flashtool with generic rom, everything's fine.

After i rooted it again, via the same way, i tried the next logical step that i missed earlier, unlock the bootloader (which i still think it didn't work, as the log said it didn't unlocked it - and yes, i've preaviosly check if i could unlock the bootloader, and i could).

Now here's my problem,

the phone won't turn on,

cannot get it to fastboot or flash mode (no leds when pressing up or down on the vol)

I try to charge the phone and still no led whatsoever

BUt,

each time i connect it to the pc, it makes that windows sound (using win8 by the way) like it detects something..

On the flashtool, it says the phone is disconnected and it keeps asking me: "unplug the phone; turn off; press back button; connect usb"

Can anybody please help on this issue? Or anyone had this issue?

please help since i don't see any troubleshoot on the web concerning the problem if the leds wont turn on
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] DSanya:
Try to remove-insert battery, than turn on your phone. If it's vibrate a bit, and/or some LED activity, you are lucky, it's just a soft-brick. In this case phone turn on, booting up, or get bootloop, no matter just no screen. Remove-insert battery again, and flash a stock ftf. (I think, this is your problem, 'cos windows recognize your phone.)

Other case (no any reaction) it's hard brick, no way to bring back to life yourself...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] himura-san:
First of all, thank you4reply

I tried that a round number of times and still it doesn't vibrate a tiny bit

I saw something on sonytalk bulletins, as someone could actually get to the flashmode stage but waited long hours charging the device till' red led showed up

Did any of you heard any report on this matter? My device is now charger connected since 18:15 pm (my timezone - 18:37 now)

Is there anyother way to force the phone to flashmode

Pls Reply
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] himura-san:
Once again, thanks 4 your reply

---

Since I started to wait since 18:15, 2hrs and 23min have passed since I hooked the powercable, following my previous post..

The tipguide from oyhens and nabeel users short analysis go on something like this:

"Let the phone charge for 4+ hrs on wall charger (No LED).

After 4-6 hours, Red LED should appear flashing. After a few hours, Red LED should be constant. Continue charging for 25+ hours on wall charger until Red LED disappears or turns Green.

Unplug from wall charger

Run flashtool from PC, flash a stable firmware. Do not plug in phone to PC until it asks to.

While holding volume down, plug in USB - May take up to 10 minutes for the phone to be connected and flashing to begin

Green LED will appear and after a few seconds - flash will run.

Unplug USB and Charge with wall charger.

Phone should be back up and running."

Anyone tried or had to resource something like this in the process of recovering? Even for other xperia phones?

Thks In advance

Xperia j signal phone problems

XPERIA J SIGNAL PHONE PROBLEMS:

I unlocked the Bootloader and Root (Official Method) according to a spanish tutorial from htcmania, spanish web, then I tried to put several Custom ROM, the first being V4 ROM ALIEN , and now I have a ROM ALLURE.

Both worked, but there is a problem, no signal gets phone. Not even gives me the option to enter the SIM pin. Android version run, but the shame as a tablet o something, I can't phone, etc... I wish someone could help me to solve this problem.

If someone has already passed and I can guide better, but to see if I can you have a thread or a tutorial step by step (for dummies please) how to install a CUSTOM ROM either, or how are you I installed; and so, you can repeat it and make it work. Probably, there is a post with this response, but for my bad English I can't find it.

So , my Xperia Tipo's internal storage of 2 GB was really getting on my nerves , so a year back; I rooted it and swapped my external with my internal So as to get more space which has been working fine till now , and has never given me any sort of trouble ! A friend of mine is now alleging that this process wouldn't work for tipo and certainly one day would hard brick me and is asking me to revert the process .

Restore a back-up if you have one. It's caused by AC!D, some incompatibility with Sony libs.

Use Viper! I find it way better, plus you only need root. And it's just one .apk.

Hey folks!

i installed cyanogenmod 10 (mesona) on my xperia miro (i read this is the newest rom for miro?!).

i've got 2 problems:

1.) after activating the keylock, sometimes the phone doesnt react anymore (it seems to be switched off). i have to push the on/off button repeatedly until after 10-15 seconds the phone is powering up and the start screen appears. This error occurs ~ every 2 hours.

2.) when i make a phone call sometimes (in ~50% of all cases) the speaker is stuttering for a second and the call is interrupted. the phone is switching itself off.

in both cases the software seems to crash?!?

are this common bugs?

who can help me solving this problems?

First make sure you already unlock your bootloader :)

Then download the kernel

Connect the phone and press vol + in the same time > open flashtool > press the thunder icon > select fastboot > select kernel to flash

Then choose the file (the kernel that you already downloaded) and close

Finish! :fingers-crossed:

Did you ever get to make the phone communicate with QPST?

My problem is exactly like yours, only the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" shows up in device Manager. Somewhat the phone is in download mode from what I read.

Long story Short, I've had to buy another phone because I've Hard-bricked my Xperia Miro. No green/blue/red Led, even after charging for 4 days. Which means that fastboot and flashmode are non accessible. PC companion, SUS and flashtool do not detect it after several tries and after reading xda various methods.

Ended up on buying Xperia J with 'unlock bootloader allowed: No' :(

But I would like to Revive my Miro. I already made communication, but now I don't know what to do next, or which files are needed?

Do You or Any of the users know how to use correctly the QPST to repair this issue and how to make the phone somehow recognizable at least for to Flashtool?

Pls help
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Ewano:
Hi,

I didn't get any further with this, but that doesn't mean I've given up. The phone and the donor phone are currently sitting on my work bench covered up with laptop parts and cables. The vista laptop that I was using to using to work on it has been repurposed, but I have the drive pulled so the software I downloaded is still about.

I'll be trying to look at this again in the next few weeks, so if you find any good resources on QPST link them here and I'll do the same.

Cheers,

Ewano
