I have a similar problem, please help

I ran gimlo for years, but I wanted to give my girlfriend my old tipo after I got a new phone. Did a clean install of gimlo on top, but some of the old files remained. I'm not exactly sure what I did afterwards, but it appears I might have deleted just about everything from the phone, with only the gimlo zip in the external SD.

Now when I boot up, I get a vibrate and the sony logo and nothing else afterwards regardless of what I do, and the tipo will not be found by PC companion. If there's any way to fix it, please help!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] himura-san:
Hi and thanks for the quick response Ewano,

Exactly like mine. Sitting on the desk waiting the (if possible) revival.

You see, that's exactly my problem, there is almost no info regarding QPST reviving xperia phones. Only a couple of phones have been experimented, but to be fair I'm going to give out my conclusions;

- Already opened it, trying to reset the battery, but no luck;

- No LED color or vibration;

- So, no Flashtool, no PC Companion and no SUS recognize the device;

- Even without the battery, and since the 1st 'Hardbrick day', each time I connect it I hear the 'Windows' USB connecting sound (note: the phone isn't charged since January!);

- The phone is in some kind of "download mode";

- From all the phones that I saw revived through this way, you have to really understand what you're doing, how it's done and what do you need, a thing far greater than my knowledge in the matter;

- Some people used this to make small changes like changing operator logo, or to increase max volume, assuming they backup Bios files and such 1st;

- From what I understand, you need very, very specific files;

- These files are not available through Sony or websites, unless you have another model of the phone to get it (and still, I don't know how well goes the procedure);

This means I'm stuck with this.

Even In xda, there is little info on the matter. The only guy I found out that placed tutorials on QPST matter, was on xda's HTC forums. Tried to talk him about his understanding on the matter but so far no luck.

Here's what I think, in order to pass info on the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" thing from the PC, you have to have control over it.

For instance, by going to "QPST» Start Clients» SERVICE PROGRAMMING" I found out that the phone is in Download mode, and because of that the menu is inaccessible. But I still cannot figure it out how to change it.

I go "QPST» Start Clients» SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD" and I don't know what to do or how to go on. And Goodle didn't help either.

What do you think ?

That's why I asked for help to anyone who knows how to use this QPST software. I think it has a lot of potencial, even for xperia phones which lately have been harder to Root/Unlock BootLoader/instal custom roms/etc, causing constant soft and hard bricks on the later models. And it seems that is the only software capable of recognize the device on the PC.

And it's cheaper and maybe less risky than a JTAG/MEDUSA Box ;)

If anyone know how to use this, or anything regarding it, please let us know, I'll keep posting my findings and conclusions on this

Cheers,

Himura-San

No Network (Not Detecting SIM Card)

Hi,

I have Xperia Tipo(ST21i), when i flashed using Xperia Z Fire Series 5 XP [Tipo].zip ROM, it got installed and phone started correctly, but my phone is dead now, it is not detecting my SIM card, i tried to revert back original Sock ROM (ST21i_11.0.A.4.27.ftf) and relock boot loader but still i am not getting any network signal.

I took my phone to sony service center they asked me to replace mother board, can you please help me?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] soundray1:
Tipo won't boot to ROM or recovery

I tried to install CM10 to my Xperia Tipo ST21i. I was able to root and install CWM recovery. Then I downloaded cm-10-20131224-FXP-tapioca_ss.zip from uploaded.net/f/59w3fb, copied it to the phone with adb and installed the zip from CWM.

Now the phone won't boot -- screen stays black. The phone vibrates shortly when I press the power key. When I hold the power key, the phone vibrates at one-second intervals.

I managed to boot to fastboot mode (pressed power key and held volume-up while plugging USB). So now I can see the phone with fastboot:

$ fastboot devices

PSDN:YT90060SF8&ZLP	fastboot

but I can't do anything else -- obviously I can't use anything that requires the phone to be booted (adb, PC Companion, flashtool etc.).

So thinking that I could perhaps reinstall the stock ROM via fastboot, I downloaded an FTF (fs1.d-h.st/download/00032/nCu/ST21i_11.0.A.4.27_Indian.ftf), unpacked it with zip, and tried to flash the .sin images in there.

$ fastboot flash system system.sin

sending 'system' (512041 KB)...

FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)

finished. total time: 0.007s

Odd, because I did root and verified that it worked.

But the problem seems to lie deeper, because the internal SD memory can't be formatted either:

$ fastboot format system

formatting 'system' partition...

Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ''.

FAILED ()

finished. total time: 0.005s

Two questions:

* Where did I go wrong -- is tapioca_ss the wrong ROM for this phone?

* Is there any way I can save this phone? In case it helps, I can borrow an exact identical one that still has the stock ROM.

[HELP] Stuck ON Bootscreeen After Entering Sideload In CWM Tipo

Hi everyone, I hope there's any chance for salvation of my beloved xperia tipo st21i and I hope there's someone who can help me figure this out. Yesterday I upgraded via flashable zip on stock version 4.27 firmware, so I can flash another custom rom. So when I went in CWM i accidently entered in install from sideload option.A bunch of code appeared and it said ˝waiting for sideload˝ . I did't wait, so I pulled out battery, waited a few seconds and then put it back and was hoping it'll boot normally. Allas, it didn't. :crying: A sony boot screen apeared and it stayed that way forever ('till I ripped battery away 1 min later or so and tried process two more times). After that I was tryig to get to the CWM unsuccessfully, to enter flashmode (which I did, it says that device is connected both in flashmode and in fastboot mode respectively) but every time when I try flashing stock .ftf firmware both versions 4.22 and 4.27 for st21i these lines appear in flashtool:

14/038/2014 09:38:19 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

Same happens if I try to flash kernel or system only. :eek: So I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 and waited for my battery to die, but when I start charging it, a minut-two after red led that signals very low battery level stops blinking, phone starts booting up by itself and stays on SONY logo, no LED is showing and it stays that way 'till I remove the charger and battery dies again. I'm still able to get into flash mode, but nothing won't flash due to beforementioned error and aborting :(

Any help would be greatly apreciated, and please instruct me on the right place if this is not right thread or similar, for this is my first post on this forum. :)

Also, the bootloader is locked.

Let it be a lesson to all noobs, xda guides and tutorials can make doubts on the users sure, but in this cases you have a simple solution, just ask before doing anything! Or else you'll be crying as well as searching to buy a new phone, believe me as I'm talking from experience..

3. cleared cache/dalvik

Rooting issue with tmobile samsung galaxy s3

HI I'm pretty much a Noob with tech. I have a t mobile Samsung galaxy s3. I've been trying to utilize this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735561 on rooting it to no avail. I watched it over and over, and took notes before attempting. It all seemed pretty easy. Then I started to do the steps for reals and of course it is not working for me.

I keep getting stuck on Odin3 v 1.85 I select PDA, then Clockworkmod.TAR then start, but it only goes as far as "Get PIT for Mapping" then it just stays there and does nothing. I don't know what I am doing wrong. but my phone is stuck on the screen that says "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!" I don't understand why it doesn't want to progress, nor do I know how to make it progress.

The phone gave me the screen of "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!" so after some hesitancy, I finally unplugged it from the computer (Since it wouldn't progress) and pulled the battery out and back. Now on occasion, I have a pop up screen that says "Would you like to update Samsung." (This screen popped up once while I was prepping it for the rooting, and I unwittingly said yes, thinking this would help, then after a few seconds it popped up again, this time I said 'no', and then it kept popping up, so I pulled out the battery) This now happens randomly and constantly since last night (when I attempted to root) but is solved for an hour or so before doing it again.

I would like to know if I should try to root using the Odin method still, and if there are any pointers into making it successful, I would love you longtime. Or if I* should root my phone using a better, easier method, if there is one. Would Kingo work? or something else? or stick with Odin and get pointers?

Also, how do I get the partial root out of my phone so it won't interfere with another root system? Or is this necessary?

(See how much of a N008 I am?)

HALP! Thank you!
