[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dougcgrubbs:
Have them try manually programming your phone. They will need you to dial ##MSL#, then tap EDIT, input your MDN (Phone number), MSID (Network routing number) and then select DONE. The phone will reboot, but all of the correct info will be stored in the phone and it shouldn't have an issue with hands free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
With HFA you shouldn't need manual programming as long as the MEID is still set.

Try ##72786# (##SCRTN#) to force HFA and allow the profile/PRL to update.

Also run the MC2 One Click with the change ID in the name (number) to update everything if not already on MC2.

That should get you going again.

If you see HFA pop back up let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dougcgrubbs:
That was the issue he was having is that HFA wouldn't complete, and so his phone wouldn't fully provision. If he manually programs then it can skip HFA and should work without it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
In my experience it's not that easy anymore. Manual provision may not allow a profile update, at which point you now have to manually key in AA/HAA keys. And that's not even addressing the LTE SIM.

In this person's case a MC2 one click and the carrier partition fix ought to have done it either way. Feel free to research what we've done so far on related issues if you question why I gave this answer. I have older threads explaining the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dougcgrubbs:
First I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not doubting you in the least, you may be correct, and since OP hasn't responded I don't know. Your thanks meter is through the roof, which tells me that you know your ****, so I'm not questioning you. What I'm trying to do is explain it from the way I see it. I have to deal with issues like this at last 50 times a day. People call in because they can't get their phone to provision over the network and I have to troubleshoot and get it working. 999/1000 times it comes down to a provisioning delay or an issue with service. Without knowing the specifics I can't say if that's the cause of his issue or not. What I can say is that I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had to open a CTMS ticket for provisioning. If I can't get SCRTN to work, then I refresh OMA and power cycle, then try again. If that doesn't do the trick then I manually program. When the phone comes back on I have them wait at least a minute, ensure that there is signal and a 3G/4G logo, and have them test. 99.9% of the times the phone works. That's why I suggested manual programming, And then if there is an issue with PRL I'll have them connect to wifi and update again, but rarely have I had an call where not having a current PRL meant that the phone wouldn't provision. Unless he went and manually wrote an archaic PRL in himself then anyone that is already loaded in should work just fine.

TL;DR: Basically, what I'm conveying in this wall of text is that manual programming negates the need for HFA. They both do the same thing, but SCRTN trusts that the network is working, and then automatically updates the PRL, Profile, and Firmware, all of which you can do manually once the correct MDN and MSID are in place.

Quick tutorial for unlocking & relocking the bootloader of the Xperia M

Warning!

Before you unlock Bootloader

STEPS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

NOTE:-

[Sony Xperia M] aweosomeabhijeet:
:good:

good job bro!

I just wanted to ask if we could unock the bootloader using flashtool so there's no chance of voiding warranty. As backing up TA would save DRM keys.
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
Yes u can unlock it using flashtool. I am windows 8 so i find unlocking with fastboot is easier and it just just cause 6 mb of data.

Sent from my Xperia Keyboard
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
There is always chance to void your warranty...
[Sony Xperia M] aweosomeabhijeet:
I see.

Well I tried with flashtool it denied unlocking :silly:

I think it would be better to go with the official unlocking.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia M] Waledac:
u should add the TA Backup guide also :)
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
WARNING :-

When i tried to restore my DRM keys my mobile went dead so be very careful with it.
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
You need to restore the stock boot partition because restoring TA partition will relock the device or else you will soft-brick it. If you have a dump of it you can restore it before restoring TA partition, otherwise you need to reflash with flashtool or SUS.

This is what I learnt from other Xperia devices in general.
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
Can you still use SEUS when you have unlocked the bootloader to restore the original firmware prior to re-locking bootloader?

I thought it would be via flashtool only, because as soon as you unlock the bootloader you lose access to PC companion and SEUS.

The reason I ask is I have an XPERIA X10i and you can use anything at any time and it doesn't care.(brilliant olde device)

With my XPERIA S, I only have flashtool, as SEUS and PC Companion (and Sony OTA upgrade) are 'lost' after the bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Really? PC Companion can recognize my Xperia M. Haven't tried SUS restore but it should work, shouldn't it? FOTA updates are known to brick unlocked Xperia devices so I strongly advice you not to try it.

But anyway if you've already restored the TA partition you already have a locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia M] underd0g:
PC companion still can recognize your phone even you've unlocked your bootloader, but updating your phone with SUS / PCC will surely brick your phone.

The only way to restore to the original firmware is using Flashtool or EMMA :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
I dont think Pc companion will brick your phone! I never heard of this things and yes updating through FOTA can definitely brick your phone. Although i recommend not to unlock bootloader unless you are an advance user or a developer.

Sony xperia M gives very good performance over stock so noo need of scripts and other stuff, and i hope someone will develop CWM for locked bootloader too.

Here are device files for Flashtool with loader.sin file for success bootloader unlock/relock through Flashtool

1. Unpack it to '/Flashtool/devices/' folder

2. Run Flashtool and select in 'Devices/Manage/Import' M or/and M Dual

3. Now your can use BLU button

I have NOT backed up my DRM keys.. and I have an unlocked bootloader...

I connected my XM SS to Sony PCC..

It did recognize my phone.. However it did not update it stating that I am using a modified software..

Flashtool (EMMA) also recognized my phone.. but dint allow me to update my phone..

And my phone is not BRICKED..

Can you be more descriptive on the exact instructions on how you can relock XM whose DRM keys are not backed up?

Has anyone tried this?

Please quote and reply and share the method if you have tried this on a C1904 XM SS and if it is working !!!!

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia M] elmkzgirxp:
I have a question...

How will I be able to backup my TA partition if root is required? I have not yet rooted my phone. I only rely on official procedures because I have bricked my two other phones previously. Have you had root installed on your phone when backing up TA partition?

Not that I know of unless you go see your network provider to unlock it or search Google for unlocking sites

Build Firmware 15.4.A.0.23

Its permanently locked so there is no way to unlock it. You bought it locked to a single network I'm guessing. Carriers have a habit of locking it.

Hello from Dr. Jimit Vadgama from Surat, india.

Need some urgent help from you regarding this topic

I have rooted and installed custom rom on many devices of friends and family.

today i got my nephew's Xperia M Dual c2004 during his visit to my home. ( out of warranty 1 month, as he was very happy with my other phones with custom roms ) I was following your guide to unock bootloader. Backuped personal data , all went well fastboot command successful . and went to trouble of bootloop as you described at the end of your guide.

then onwards i cant get past the boot animation screen. nor i can flash boot.img or cwm via Fast boot. [ alwasys says "waiting for device", though the checking fastboot command returns value of 0.5 ]

i tried sony companion PC software for repair . But it said you have modified software and cant proceed ( Means successful unlock ???)

Now you also mentioned at end

Quote:

When i unlocked my bootloader from above steps i first got a bootloop but after flashing My kernel ELIxER i recovered from bootloop and phone started well.

Please explain this , step by step. as this was my first sony to try customising. or provide links as i am new to SONY

Morning all,

I was hoping to get some further help and /or advice with the problem I am currently having with my GNex.

Been using the device for a good while now, still besotted with it. Unfortunately, one channel of the 3.5mm jack has stopped working, specifically the left-hand channel.

Having had a good search and read around the interweb, I have carried out the following:

Cleaned the port with alcohol.

Changed the speaker module that includes the jack.

Re-flashed the latest stock ROM from Google Dev.

Flashed the latest CM 10.2 Nightly.

At this point I am unsure what else to do, or if there is anything I can do to determine the cause of the problem. I fully expected changing the hardware to fix the issue, as it had been iffy for a little while requiring a light nudge on the headphone wire to bring the second channel back.

To summarise, help?

Many thanks in advance!
