Flashtool detected.

And i tried flashing the stock firmware FTF

But when it starts to flash

The device gets disconnected and starts to boot.

And the sony written screen stays like that forever.
[Sony Xperia M] Sh0m1:
Hm, if your bootloader is locked try repairing it with sony pc companion and if that does not work you can try claiming your warranty, the shop where you bought the phone should fix/replace it.

If your bootloader is unlocked then i have no idea what you could do. Maybe someone else has a solution.

EDIT: Okay i just realized something. I was flashing a stock ROM through flashtool and my device was connected in flashmode and then when it started flashing it disconnected, just like yours did. So here is what to do. Select file for flashing, begin the process, and when the flashtool tells you, connect the phone while pressing the vol-. It should start flashing normally.

I have a rather dumb question, dont know if it was asked earlier or asked at all, but i have a need to know for sure. Here it goes: If one has Locked Bootloader that cannot be unlocked, one cannot in any case put different kernel (for lets say, overclocking) and Custom ROM, even if devs succeed to make CWM for 4.3 with LB??? Is there any hope, or none beside to have full root and (maybe) CWM for nandroid backup and restore?

Just bought a new C1904 locked to O2.

But *#*#7378423#*#* gives following options

[o] Network 2

[x] Network subset 0

[x] Service provider 0

[x] Corporate 0

[x] SIM 0

I guess its a corporate phone and hence I cannot unlock it.

Deep Sleep

Hi I don't speak english very well so ley me explain you.

I was on stock 4.1.2 without the first update, don't know what build it is. Then i flash the Elixer kernel (last version) and like i saw that it comes with CWM i started s to flash some roms. Went directly to 4.4 i think that was one for Paranoid Android with Dynamic Bars, and then Mokee but for some reason if i stop using my phone and it goes to sleep it never turns on again. I have to take The battery out and put it in again to make my device reboot and its been a pain in the... Well I've tried to change the kernel with OC and it works well but my device reboots out of nothing, Now I'm with ArchiDroid ROM but get back to my first problem. Any ideas? Solutions? Please.
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Okay. Let's take this step wise.

1) Did you flash the stock 4.3 ROM (or at least the baseband) before you flashed any of those other ROMs through recovery?

2) Do calls come through (or is the phone functional) when your phone is in sleep mode?

3) Have you tried flashing back to stock again to see if this might fix the issue?

Don't worry about the English. ;) You speak just fine. :)

Okay peeps so here comes the lame question - i think lolipop sources are to be out by November, cm might take like 2or 3 more months to get everything sorted and start with their next iteration that is cm12,btw what about aosp? We have an aosp rom i believe, will it be updated, i know it depends entirely on the maintainer btw just asking if that's even feasible.

This looks like the biggest update ever after ics, so excited!!
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
AOSP. If the sources are out on CAF for our chipset, then the maintainer or someone else will compile a build. Else I'm not really sure. CM will take more time than that. But OmniROM most probably will not. AOSPA will take more time than CM partly because they have just gotten somewhere with KitKat and they wouldn't want to give it off so quickly.

bootloader stuck - flashtool stuck - FML

This is my 1st post here ,I m not sure if it is the right place to post this and I m realy sorry if it's not.

Today I decided to unlock my bootloader on my "XPERIA M 4.3". Followed the steps everything was ok (in the CMD panel) but when I reboot it stucks at the opening animation.

From googling around I found out I should flash it. So I installed flash tool, installed all the drivers and downloaded the firmware. When I run the flashtool.exe it asks me to select my device but "xperia m" isn't on the list still I chose xperia u and xperia p but it didnt seem to recognise the phone being in flash mode so I got stuck stuck on the image showing me to put my phone in flash mode. I tried PCC recovery in flash mode it detected my phone in flash mode but got error because of the unlocked bootloader so I thought since it's in flash mode to open flashtool too this time it recognised my phone being flash mode (without me doing anything) but I got stuck here:

12/035/2014 20:35:27 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.

I m really depressed ATM, please any help will much appreciated.

I found the problem it was the flashtool I installed (flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6)

so I installed "flashtool-0.9.18.1" and it works fine

Just a small clarification. Had you switched off your phone and held the volume button up while connecting the USB? Doing that will connect your device in Fastboot mode. Only then will you be able to execute command like

Cant install app from Google Play after swap sdcard

Im using rooted Xperia M 4.3 with locked bootloader

I have successfully swap external-internal memory using this thread. It seem work perfectly but after a few day I get not enough memory error from Google Play when trying to install any thing even my real sd card(which is internal memory now) still remain several GB and I can still install from any apk.Help me pls.Thanks you very much
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Remove the .exe from the command. Just fastboot should work fine enough. Uninstall the drivers from "Add or Remove Program" from the Windows Start screen. Reboot the computer. Install the drivers again (the drivers your phone prompts you to install when you connect your phone to the computer is sufficient) and reboot again.

Once it finishes rebooting, connect your phone in fastboot mode and type the following command in the command prompt (open at the location you've saved fastboot):

fastboot devices

If it shows your device, then all is working fine. If it isn't, reboot the PC again and check.

Sometimes it's just an issue of the drivers not being loaded on Windows that prompt these errors. It's also one of the reasons I prefer using Linux where everything is just files and folders.
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
That's a bug. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a bug, but rather a limitation of the device. What the script basically does is, it points the internal memory's location to a new path that is somewhere on the sdcard. When the Android system makes a call to the storage device (internal storage), the script will point it towards the new location if anything has to be written (i.e., if a parameter is passed). Once the data is written, Android updates the storage info saying that so many bytes of data has been written to the internal storage. This updates the partition table and shows up as the internal storage getting the data while it is actually on the sdcard.

While installing an app from the Google Play Store, the app checks the storage info to see if sufficient memory is available. If the app exceeds the memory available, it says that the memory is insufficient.

Frankly, there is nothing we can do except to live with the limited internal storage and perhaps buy a better device if we want to game.

[Sony Xperia M] chronodekar:
I'm ... kindof stumped about something. My situation is this;

The bootloader is unlocked (got the key from Sony site) and I'm able to flash *.img files into the phone via the fastboot command.

Now, to install the ROMs, I'm copying the zip files to my external memory card, booting into CWM and attempting to "install from zip". This is giving me errors. Tried the same for the AOKP rom, the cyanogen mod (weekly + nightly builds). The fact that I can keep flashing different *.img files into the phone and change recovery makes me feel that I'm not understanding the last step.

In a lot of the instructions on this forum, when the ROM developers say things like "Flash the CM11 and gapps zip" am I supposed to use the fastboot command to do this?

-chronodekar

EDIT : My phone is an Xperia M, single SIM version.
[Sony Xperia M] gadgetroid:
Did you clear data and cache before flashing?

Just FYI, a recovery script will handle the flashing of the boot.img file. A boot.img file is basically the kernel. It also contains the RAMDisk (a tool that loads drivers and other important tools the phone needs to boot Linux)

All I'm saying is that you don't need to flash the boot image all the time. After you come back from stock, flashing the boot image will install recovery (as the boot image also copies the recovery to the recovery partition, it is synonymous to installing recovery). After that, once your recovery is available, you can directly flash the ROM itself.

No. They are asking you to choose the option that says "Install from zip"

Which ROM are you trying to install? Perhaps I could guide you step by step to install that?

[Sony Xperia M] chronodekar:
It took me a lot of trial-and-error but I finally solved my issue by using the flashtool to load up an unlocked stock image to the phone. After I did that, trying to use fastboot, loading boot.img, selecting install from zip in CWM, everything worked!

I *think* the issue was because when I initially tried to 'wipe' the partitions, it gave a "don't have permissions to delete /data" or some such error. (Forgot to mention it in my earlier post). That seems to have gone away when I used flashtool.

At the moment, I'm running Archidroid.

I've been three years using sony devices. Live with walkman, neo l, n miro.

So, the. question where I doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia M] chronodekar:
If it's the same problem I've had, then you haven't set permissions. A simple fix is to use flashtool and re-flash the stock ROM onto the phone. Then, use flashboot, jump into CWM and flash your image.

Umm... if all you did was just shut off your phone, AND everything original (as in, no custom ROM) and the phone doesn't boot, you probably need to take it to a repair shop.
