Does this works at d2243? Can anyone please confirm?
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Can someone help me ?

I can't plug my D2203 into my pc by USB anymore, my phone takes only the "charge" function ... My pc detects my mobile when I plug it and pressing the volume down or up (SE1 service and ADB) but not in normal mode (MTP and MSC, debugging USB or not, with or without SD card)

Thanks to reply to me, I don't find anything similar on Google.
[Sony Xperia E3] hell_lock:
Reinstall all Sony drivers..
[Sony Xperia E3] Raproid:
JUST PLUG YOUR PHONE TO ANOTHER USB PORT! That's it. Just use another port!
[Sony Xperia E3] Shady27:
I hope they can come up with another method as according to my service menu unlock bootloader allowed: no so looks like im pretty screwed until root can be achieved with a locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Thanks for the answers !

But, my pc still can't detect my phone... even PC companion ! How can I re-install Sony drivers ? I search here developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/ but there is nothing about E3 and everywhere else they've told me to install PC companion. ADB driver tells me to connect the mobilephone (so, it's useless) and my Windows Device Manager doesn't detect anything (no warning sign)

I've tried with 3 different wires in every single USB port of my both computers, at home and at work (also colleague's pc) : my phone just turns into "charge mode"...

What can I do ? my phone can be plugged into other modes (volume + and volume -)
[Sony Xperia E3] mathei:
Try with Mobogenie 3! Install Mobogenie 3 on PC and uninstall Sony PC Companion. Mobogenie 3 will find drivers for your phone.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Thanks [MENTION=3058022]mathei[/MENTION] !

I've downloaded Mobogenie 3 and uninstalled PC Compainon, but... still nothing =/ my phone always "in charge"

I've click on "please connect to your device" and "I've connected my usb cable" : nothing happened ...

I've tried also to connect my phone and pressing volume (-) in PC Companion and it is recognized as a generic tablet/mobile (Windows install the semc flash driver) but there is no options, I can't choose manually a specific driver.
[Sony Xperia E3] mathei:
PC Companion does not recognize my phone. Try this driver for Sony Xperia(flashtool drives. zip). Unzip and install the PC. For me it was good. If not work try with other usb cables.
[Sony Xperia E3] ohua28:
what drivers i need to install
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
I've downloaded Flashtool drivers, I've selected all Xperia devices (cause there was not mine) and installed => my phone just stay in charge, even if I change cable...
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
is otg working.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
If you mean usb OTG cable, I don't have one.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
yes i mean that.

did you tried someone else pc. if still not detect try Fastboot mode.

if it detect as fastboot try flashing stock firmware.

and what is your device id

did you rooted or flashed that phone

is bootloader locked.
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Yes I 've tried on different computers, but I can plug into fastboot (volume (-)) Maybe I have to restore the stock kernel.

Because yes, I've rooted my phone (Xperia D2203 aka E3 LTE) with the [MENTION=5522452]RapDroid[/MENTION] method, so I've got an un locked bootloader, but since rooting, my phone doesn't want to be USBed (yes I invent words haha)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you have to flash back to stock. or re flash that image you got with [MENTION=5522452]RapDroid[/MENTION] method

i have d2212 and i also rooted and flashed still detect as usb. everything is working fine.

Is anyone having an D2203 rooted wich like to get USBed (This Word is Getting Popular)
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Ok I wonder if it was possible to restart the manipulation, because, I failed at a moment : I didn't put the superSU.zip BEFORE switch on the phone x) and it was at this time I can't plug my phone.

Where can I find the stock kernel please ?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
i am not sure it will work or not i suggest you retry the wole method if you still have problem then you can get firmware for your device through ftf to get ftf try XperiFirm
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
Okay, I will retry the whole method from a stock kernel and I'll let you know ;)

D2203 USB issues

Well well...

I re-locked my bootloader (via Flashtool's BLU), I flashed a stock rom .ftf (build 18.4.C.1.26 generic FR) , I re-unlocked my bootloader, I flashed the boot_D2203_4.4.2.img, updated superSU within CWM, fixed root and reboot (my phone was always connected at the pc) ==> my phone is rooted but I cannot use the "USB function" of a cable on a computer, the mobile just enter in charge mode...

Flashtool, PCCompanion, EmmA, Mobogenie, Windows Device Manager ==> all of these don't detect my phone...

I tried to install drivers via Flashtool-drivers, but there was not mine (E3 LTE)... Well, the nearests were JDM-plateform board (because it includes Sony Xperia E and E dual) and Shuang board (E1 D20XX/D21XX) but, anyway, it doesn't work too (even after pc rebooting)

I don't know what to do =/ I've seen that [MENTION=6190558]Rawerz[/MENTION] has the same issue, so maybe it's not just my badluck xD
[Sony Xperia E3] xAmidox:
im not new on flashtool use but i have some issues D=

my E3 is the D2212 and when i go on:

i get this message on Flashtool:

what is my error? i installed the drivers on flashtool folder

Thankz @ babbar07 :)

[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
well that boot image had bug,s in it.

if you want root forget getting USBed(you can still use sd card to trasfer data between pc and device with cardreader)<someone will fix it.>

if you want your device to get USBed then flash stock.

Bootloader get locked then you got your warranty back.:good::good:

and I hope someone will find a way to root that phone without flashing.

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

your boot loader is locked or it cannot be unlocked.

for unlocking bootloader go to developer. sonymobile. com/unlockbootloader/

remove spaces between .<dots>
[Sony Xperia E3] uday94:
will this work on d2202 ?
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
I had this same issue with my D2203, so I unlocked my bootloader by Sony's method, as [MENTION=5494317]android-vinay[/MENTION] said, not via Flashtool. But, after, if you don't relock your bootloader AND reflash a stock rom, you will be able to lock/unlock via Flashtool :D (because it preserves your unlocking code). Keep your codes in a .txt, so as to unlock your bootloader by Windows Command Prompt later, if your come back to a stock rom with a locked BL ;)

Ok, I prefer to forget getting USBed (thanks to use my style haha) so as to use Titanium Backup to restore my games after another flash^^ At worst, I've got other android devices with SD card slot.

But, TA partition is lost forever now ? even if bootloader is relocked, I have avoided my warranty ?

hi, I too have a d2203, I know this may paretre stupid, but at boot after root, the bt, wifi, nfc is enabled?

I do not root toujour my d2203 because of USBed, but I have noticed that even with a cable of origin, and according to the usb hub, the d2203 remains usbed if my BT and WiFi and NFC are active (probably bug POWER ENTRY)

I know it's stupid but try your hand in case if enabled, disable maximun before connecting the USB (WiFi, nfc, bt, rotation, Stamina mode ...)

BOOTLOOP

I have tried the flashtool method and it is not worked for me, and now my experia don't turn on. Only stay an that blue screen with waves, and what is hillaryous I can't turn off my phone. How can i do that. I want to power off my phone and flash stock. Thank you. :crying:
[Sony Xperia E3] hell_lock:
Press and hold pow and vol up together.. And don't flash this kernel. Use the other one for dual sim e3.

I had the same problem yesterday.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Yes

you have to flash d2212 image.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

ok then thare is no way to retrive warranty

but did you tried flashing d2212 boot image.

if it won,t work then try to pull boot.img from ftf <Stock Firmware>

then flash D2203 image from root method

and go to clockworkmod and install su-update.zip

select Yes fix-root

then you got root.

su will be placed at system/bin not i boot.img so all you need is flash stock boot.img

then you got root and also get USBed.

<THIS IS HOW I ROOTED MY XPERIA E3 CHECK THAT TO KNOW IF YOU DID ANY THING WRONG>

First of all when i was at stock i don,t wanna risk my phone so i tryed to boot that image without unlocking or flashing

i go to cmd and cd to my adb tools folder and typed fastboot boot D2212-boot.img

and nothing happened then i got to sony devloper site and unlocked my bootloader

and downloaded xperia flash tool.

installed drivers for every phone.

and booted my phone. it stuck at boot animation for about 10min i thought i bricked/bootlooped my phone but it booted after some time

and then i used flash tool to hotboot that image.

i just got black screen ad my phone detected as adb.

then i can,t turn off my phone but i read if we press vol up and power at same for 20 sec we can turn it off in a post by [MENTION=4449607]InfinityShooter[/MENTION]

and then after powering off i connect usb press vol up to get into bootloader then flashed d2212-boot.img and booted my phone and everything was working fine then i go to clockworkmod and installed SU-Update.zip and i got root. <from starting to the end untill i get root i keep my phone connected to my pc>.

D2203 Rooted AND getting USBed

Finally it was the SOLUTION !!! [MENTION=6190558]Rawerz[/MENTION] and for others D2203 owners, this is for you.

So, I spare to talk about all the manipulations I've made until now (but if somebody wants to know more about what I've done, I can explain in details later ;) )

First, I've tried to flash the 2212.img to my D2203, from a stock rom ==> NEVER DO THAT AGAIN ! It will half brick your device with a crazy start screen and then a black screen (but with sound) So I hard shutdowned my phone (thanks to the little hole under the back case and a very thin metal stick) and reflashed a stock rom.

Next, I extracted the boot.img from my stock firmware and made it flashable (these are manipulations I spare to you, but, if you need to know, I'm here !) You can get this file in this post's attachment ;) I put it in my external card, with the superSU update.

I restart the entire [MENTION=5522452]RapDroid[/MENTION]'s root method, from flashing D2203.img (my bootloader was already unlocked since the previous trials) until installing superSu update with CWM.

Then, when my phone rebooted, I returned in CWM so as to install my stock kernel and reboot again (with fix root)

Now, I can't access to CWM (even if with an app like Quickboot by Sirius Applications, or in adb shell) BUT I can plug my E3 LTE in my computer and getting USBed with a rooted system !!!!

So, to sum up the situation :

D2203 owners, you can root your phone with [MENTION=5522452]RapDroid[/MENTION]'s method but it will not be USBable. So if you want to make it USBable, you have to lose CWM. To do that, follow these instructions :

1. If you've already tried to root, flash your mobile with a stock rom (you can find it with XperiFirm)

2. Download my kernel and put it in external memory

3. Rooting method

4. Re-launch CWM, install Stock_kernel_D2203.zip and reboot with "fix root"

5. Download an Root Checker on Play store if you want to test rooting

6. Connect your phone to you PC and check if you can read SD cards/adb debugging/PCCompanion, etc..

Thanks again [MENTION=5494317]android-vinay[/MENTION] to have suggest me this method :good:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:

Yes ! Now, we just have to wait an X-Part CWM Installer D2303 supported (yes I've already checked => phone unsupported yet ^^") or a fixed kernel :)
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
I cannot root my device D2203. I plug my phone to pc, and flashtool said, bootloader cannot be unlocked with official method. After that a message came now disconnect your device and reboot. But the phone dont boot up. In that case I press volume up and power to off my device. So, exist another way to unlock bootloader? Something simple. I have installed ALL drivers.

[Sony Xperia E3] mmerlone:
ROOT Without locked bootloader?

I previoisly use a Motorola Defy running KK CM11. It also has a locked bootloader, and some boffins (@quarks?) managed to bypass it via a 2ndinit boot, which is sort of a second boot on top of the original one, without touching the locked bootloader.

This way the device gets rootable, flashable and unbrickable. :)

Dont know if this is possible on E3, but I think someone could take a look into this, how they did it.

D2203 Update with root

Hi everyone !

Can I update my phone from build 18.4.C.1.26 to 18.4.C.2.12 ?

I know I can't do this in PCCompanion (it detects a "modified firmware"), but in flashtool, how can I do without loosing root system ? Do I have to flash the stock rom (D2203_18.4.C.2.12) and then restart rooting method+boot.img (from the new build, I guess)? Or I can do this with my current configuration ?
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
I try to flash that build but after reboot my device it is still on the old version. Nothing happend. I do this: turn off my phone...opened flashtool... Press volume up and connect to Pc... Select flash mode... Select that build (the 2.12 version)...press flash...wait to boot. After 1 minute, a message pop up... Device disconnected...phone boot up... Surprise... It is the old built...

What I make wrong?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you have to select fastboot mode not flash mode.
[Sony Xperia E3] MAROCANU:
But i want to FLASH that version. Why I can choose fastboot? If i want to flash a new build I must choose fastboot? Thats weird. :confused:

When you are in ClockWorkMod (recovery mode on your phone), after finish installing superSU and stock kernel (if you have D2203) you go back to the first menu. You have "reboot system" select it and a message will appear asking to you if you want to fix root or not :)

[Sony Xperia E3] zackemannen81:
Confirmed (2203)

Steps:

Unlocked bootleader through - developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification

Used flashtool from op and flashed img from op link.

Put .rom on the phone.

Rebooted pressed volume up + down when the light flashed purple.

Installed zip from sdcard.

Rebooted and selected fix root.

Profit!

The method worked out of for one reason:

If you followed the instructions in developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification and you typed to get into the service menu

* # * # 7378423 # * # * and you walked in Service Info> Configuration> Status Rooting you read "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes ".

D2203 Root presicions

Hi !

I just precise something about my rooting method for D2203. The reason why I don't have anymore CWM, it's because my stock kernel... doesn't allow writings in /system XD

Indeed, I've realised that my phone is "semi-rooted" : I can use rooted apps (superSU, titanium, lucky patcher, quickboot...) but I still can't access to system's folders, because I tried to install Xposed framework and it failed.

So, I'm still looking for a repaired D2203.img or another way to really root my phone.

Maybe I can create a new thread, to inform developpers or if I can extract the .img to look into the files x)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
well i could give you extracted kernel if you know how to handel it then i can re pack it.

i can also do this my self but i never did kernel modding and i don,t wanna risk my device.<i have only e3 for now>

even if you just wan,t to see what is diffrent between both kernel,s you can link them here i will extract and link them here.

well i you have linux and enviorment ready you can do this your self.

anyone tell me is it possible to extract kernel and get recovery then flash it using command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sorry if any wrong spelling in this post some keys of my keyword are not working correctly

<edited>

oh i,ve forgot to say that did you tried to use adb to mount /system as rw
[Sony Xperia E3] Pandoxyd:
I've never touched Android developement... I would just want to see differences between the stock kernel and the kernel from the root method, so as to find where I can search. However, I don't have Linux, so I can't compile anything lol

I know also how to extract a kernel from a ftf, but not reverse. Someone knows ? I would want to replace the kernel of a stock rom by the root kernel and flash a entire rom in flashmode (and not just a boot.img in flashboot)

First, I will try to use adb debugging !
