You can use Doom Lords (Androxyde) flash tool to flash a stock Sony 4.3 FTF file and you should be fine.

I'll link you to a good tutorial on how to flash a stock FTF, hold on.
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Since you are on stock, make sure you have the 4.3 bootloader. After that, follow the steps below.

Flash the official TWRP recovery from TWRP homepage. You can flash it using the app method (which requires a rooted device) or via the DD method.

Once flashed, head over to the ROM thread and download the ROM and compatible GApps.

Boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. Transfer the ROM to your phone or flash it or flash it by sideload. After flashing the ROM, flash the GApps. Reboot the system and you should have a functioning CyanogenMod.

Xperia M Bricked [c1904]

These are the following methods i tried after my Phone Got soft bricked :crying:

1. Tried to Falsh stock Firmware but it wasnt possible (via Flashtool)

2. Tried to repair it with PC companion later i got to know unlocked bootloader phones are not supported by PCC

3. Tried to refresh my device from the start with sony flashtool "Emma" but my phone wasnt recognised

4. Tried to format the phone with TWRP but no help there also "Unable to Mount data"

Device : Xperia M (c1904), Rooted, Unlocked bootloader

The Phone boots up but after the boot it says "To start Android, enter your password"

after i enter my password it says "Decryption Unsuccessful - The password you entered is correct, but Unfortunately your data is corrupt"

Any HELP would be greatly Appreciated , Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia M] arnbeu:
Hi,

I just got a used C1905 that is not working: back, home and apps buttons at the bottom of the screen don't respond, it is as they were not active despite being visible.

I did a reset of the phone via the menu, via pc companion too, but I still have the problem.

It is not a screen problem because it recognizes buttons that are below these three (if i am in a menu, pressing back button will press the item below, so the phone records my finger press).

So I tried to install something like Cyanogen hoping it will work but I ran into problems:

1. the phone is not allowed to unlock bootloader ("bootloader UNLOCK allowed:NO")

2. I read somewhere that you could install custom ROM without having bootloader unlock but I can't figure how

3. this leads me to maybe the biggest problem, I can't understand all this mess between custom ROM with or without, bootloader, recovery mode, etc. I think I'm gaining understanding, but then I switch topic and fall again into an ocean of ignorance

4. how firmware get into this ??

5. where are download links if there are not in the firmware page ??

6. I can't find my way in this forum even if I think I have to !

This last point should answer question as "do you search forum because asking the question?". I think so, but can't manage to find what I need...

Resuming :

1. my c1905 is not working

2. bootloader can't and won't be unlock

3. is there a way to get this phone back on track

4. do I really need to understand everything is happening here?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Best

Its a Xperia M guide, some people got it to work, while some have the same problem as me, SD and Internal storage showing as 2.05GB

What did you mean by changing few lines in services.jar

One person in that thread adviced me to install Universal Init.D

I did it, followed his instructions

Btw, i have another problem, my Wifi toggle activates randomly on its own...what could be the reason??
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Well, if that doesn't work for you, you can try my guide in the Xperia M Android development section.

That does not conflict with your WiFi. Make sure you aren't using any of the options under "Settings > Power management". Most of them usually disable networks when you lock the screen (WiFi sleep policy)

I am unable to quickly open display, while listening music using earphone for more than 10-15 mins.

It takes hell lot of time (more than 3-4 mins) to respond to power button.

Any workaround for this, without rooting?

Also, media server app is eating my battery a lot while music play, but still it's manageable.

FYI: I have not rooted phone/unlocked my bootloader. Using stock Sony 4.2.2 15.2.A.1.12

India purchased Xperia Dual URGENT queries

Hello Guys,

My first ever post in the forum (& glad I did not have to create a dedicated thread), I purchased a Sony Xperia M DUAL C2004 from Mumbai - India and would really request any user from India specifically to advise urgently on the below queries :

1) What is the physical battery mAH you received in your Xperia M DUAL package?

2) What make specifically of the charger did you receive in the package (obviously it'd have to be Sony but read closer, does it say something else in the branding??)

3) Did you package particularly have the 'Original Sony India' Hologram sticker besides the other rounded sony stickers?

Please understand guys, I'm not mentioning details of my end as I really need to understand your inputs so that I can confirm further in here.

All questions are only & only for Xperia Dual specifically bought in India only. Please help as I can't use my phone until I get some real time user answers rather than from the seller.

BTW it is a China make phone (the outer box has Sony Mobile communications AB, Sweden mentioned)

Thanks in advance guys,

Info for anyone concerned

Ref post # 35, I received answers from many of helpful Xperia M forum users

1) Xperia M Dual sim model C2004 has BA-900 battery which is a 1700 mAh capacity and not 1750 mAh as is being widely wrongly updated.

2) The charger received is a Sony Ericsson charger EP800 in this Sept 2013 import phone even though it is common knowledge that Sony's partnership with Ericsson was discontinued long back.

3) Certain online purchased users acknowledged that 'Sony India Original - India Cellular Association' rainbow hologram seal was missing whereas majority have them on their box package.

4) Also had observed the side original sticker has been peeled off as in the imported box and all Sony India retail packages have an manual computerised normal bond paper quality cut out product details label created and pasted on top.

Guys I am posting all this info to alleviate any doubts and concerns for any new Indian customer. The sad part was Sony India official helpline could not provide me my requested answers and all around wrong specifications of the battery is being circulated. Thanks once again to all those who responded to me. Looking forward to be a active member in the forum.

PS : This is my first Sony Xperia phone and I am quite startled to note that buttons are like a toy on the removable cover and the actual button connectors are bare open exposed on the handset.

I've tried hundred times for downloaing cyanogenmod 11 for my xperia m c1904 working on jb 4.3 but the link isn't working. Teme from where to download otherwise send me zip file plz i want to work on 4.4.2 official cyanogenmod 11

Hello der plz help
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Hello there. The link works fine for me. If you are facing difficulties downloading from the official links, use a download manager as that will capture the download link before the site can redirect you to a page that says your download limit is over.

Mirroring the original link without the permission of the original developer can cause problems, as the developer might be using the link as a count of how many people have downloaded their ROM so far.
[Sony Xperia M] abhishek0:
the link was working is true but for me 2 months ago!!!

Link worked well but 2 months ago when i was trying may that time the devloper didn't thought of limiting the number of people downloading!!! So how will i get permission now!!!
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Yes, its a problem with the hosting service. I too have faced the same problem while trying to download the latest build. FXP hasn't been uploading to mirror sites on the recent builds either. What I always do when it redirects me to the "bandwidth used for your IP" is to use ADM on my phone and download through that. I usually use 3G to initiate the download and pause the download in ADM and then switch to Wi-Fi and resume the download. Perhaps you could try that. [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia M] abhishek0:
same prob with adm too!!!!

Is it happened just because i haven't rooted my phone!!! Coz in adm it still says web page not available!!
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
There's really no connection between the two at all. Root status has nothing to do with how a webpage interacts with a phone. If a webpage could access the root directory of your phone, Android would be the most insecure OS in the entire world.

I suggest that you try checking to see if your internet connection is proper and to ask your ISP if they've blocked the website by any chance or not.

[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
That's how stock AOSP looks on a Nexus 5 or 7 running 4.4.4. ?

I'm afraid that you will have to get your hands dirty and decompile the SystemUI.apk on your computer and edit the strings that you want to change to show in a "normal" capitalised manner. I'm pretty sure you can find many tutorials on the internet to actually decompile the apk.

What firmware were you on prior to installing the ROM?
[Sony Xperia M] Sandro8771:
Hi guys.

Need some advice from anyone here.

A friend of mine has this device Xperia M with 2 sims.I know for sure that this is the model.But I do not know on which firmware he was on,JB 4.1,2 or kitkat 4.3.As I gather there was a recent update to your devices.for kitkat.

Well,the problem is,he brought the phone to me today to know what happened to his device.

When switch on it reads the exact time.With the pin lock screen on.After pressing the 4 digit code.It says device unlocked but then it goes on saying device Xperia TMO.

Is this correct?

As I enquired to my friend whether he had downloaded anything he says he did not.Nor did he updated any over the air updates.

Furthermore,when pressing any button say, like application,back, home or recent button it reads out the said buttons but does not do anything.

The response of the touch screen is very slow.Need to keep pressing a couple of times on the keyboard just to register one digit out off the 4 to unlock.

For your information, the device is still unroofed.

Your expert advice is needed.

Solved:

My mate had unknowingly clicked on the verbal assistant for the visually impaired app in settings.Which caused all this problem.

Thanks anyways.
