@ TacoNikky

1 question mate what about future updates

also there is no option to go back to main menu in recovery
[Sony Xperia C] prashh17:
One question bro.. It's firmware 2.6 right? So If we flash this then battery bug will come again? Why don't u make ftf for 2.13 firmware? With boot version 2.6

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

One more thing, please move this thread to Android development.. This would be best development for this device
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
We can flash new updates via wmshua program. We just need ftf files.

Swipe your finger from right to left, it is back button :D

In a short time, i will upload 16.0.B.2.13 version :)
[Sony Xperia C] Xenon1978:
Guys pls don't pull usb cable when its stuck @ 97% pls leave for 10 to 20 so finishes 100% other wise you will miss few apps like play store etc..

also apps like sony live, sony music.I think this apps are country/region specific

I left it to finish & it rebooted by itself & everything is working fine.

[MENTION=5604303]TacoNikky[/MENTION] When I click update recovery and rebooted then it didn't boot.

Why it is happening?

S1 boot version is correct.

What if I repeat this procedure after recovering my device?

Will it brick again?
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
Try it with different recovery. I Think there is pure cwm in the forum, use cwm.img this time.

In some versions of xperia c we see this problem :)
[Sony Xperia C] AOKlls2lv:
a lot of people say if you do this with root kingroot when using mobileuncle will brick / bootlop

is it true

sorry my english was very bad :)

Waiting until %100 recommended

If you disconnect at %97 there will be missing or faulty apps

Hello I tried your steps detailedly correct but it failed. Button shortcut, adb boot recovery as well as MTKTool recovery, neither boot into CWM.

Could you double-check the image if this is compatible with the LATEST firmware of this device (C2305), also the phone is rooted via Framaroot 1.9.3 using the Boromir exploit. Also hyperlinks of recoveries for this device? (Google really didn't help me)

My S1 Boot Version is 2.14.J.0.68 and my software version is 16.0.B.2.16. If I understand correctly by (re)flashing that 16.0.B.2.16 *software* image it will also change the boot version to a more recent version like 2.14.J.2.13? Why can't I use WMShua to only flash the bootloader? There is no seperate ftf file for it?

[Sony Xperia C] hahaha1111:
root ,install "CWM"(i think it like twrp more than a CWM)Success:D

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

First,you cannot flash .ftf file from CWM because CWM is an recovery ,CWM is not support .ftf file. I think you may not know what is the topic of this post. This post is about an instructions to install recovery. If your S1 Boot Version is 2.14.J.2.6 , 2.14.J.2.13 or 2.14.J.2.16,you can directly download software to update recovery.Only 2.14.J.0.68 S1 Boot Version need to flash .ftf to let it become above version , but not 2.14.J.0.68.

Second,wmshua perfect flash program is the safest program for you to flash the .ftf file. Another software may need more time and unsuccessful probability will be biggerthan wmshua perfect flash program. 2.14.J.0.68 S1 Boot Version cannot directly update recovery because of it's special program.

Finally,if you have any requires,please ask me,i will help you:)

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Yes,flashing .ftf will change the boot version. Actually my english is bad and i do not know the meaning of "Why can't I use WMShua to only flash the bootloader? There is no seperate ftf file for it?"

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

C2305 is my old phone. Actually I do not know what is "bootloops" because of my english.:silly:

Method of remove CWM:

I remember that everytime when you exit CWM , it will pop up an message shows about"Will you let CWM to recover Stock Recovery?",if you choose No,You can remove CWM.

If you cannot get back to stock recovery:

You need flash an new OS in your phone,the OS will "help" you uninstall CWM recovery and give you back your stock recovery:)

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

First,try below method,the flashing method is for 2.14.J.0.68 which cannot directly flash the recovery.

1) Download recovery.img from below

2) Put recovery.img to your phone's memory(not into folder)

3) Download Mobileuncle Tools from play store and open, click Recovery Update and choose your file.

Second,you can try the flashing method(Strongly not recommended because it may not match your phone and your phone may be damage after flashing)

1- Download 16.0.B.2.16 ftf version from below.

2- Use wmshua perfect flash program to flash this ftf file

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2695344

"Wait until it finishes %100. If it stops at 97%, wait 30 min, if it does not continue, disconnect your phone from pc"

3- Turn on your phone

4- Download recovery.img from below

5- Put recovery.img to your phone's memory(not into folder)

6-Download Mobileuncle Tools from play store and open, click Recovery Update and choose your file.
[Sony Xperia C] freeZbies:
My phone was already in the latest firmware, so I flashed it anyway, and it worked normally :good:

Also, I see you said you don't know what bootloop is, so let me explain. Bootloop is when your phone looks like it's gonna turn on, but restarts in the middle of the process. In other words, you see the Sony's logo when you press the power button, then the phone restarts and you see it again... And this keep happening and the phone never turns on.
