Nope. Whilst trying a new cable, it does the same thing; I start the flash, wait for it to ask me to connect my phone, and then I do. I start it up in flash mode, and when it's detected, the green light turns off immediately, and the flashing process very quickly stops. My phone restarts and goes to the Sony logo, with a red light to show it's charging. After a minute, it will go back to Flashmode. And after a minute of flashmode, it goes back to charging at the Sony logo.

Bump!!!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coover55:
Bump again. I really need this fixed. C'mon guys, please???

Also I feel like I'm kind of looking annoying at this point but hey.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Bumping stuff won't help you nor anyone. If no one have the idea on how to solve your issue, how can they post something useful in this very thread?

Since your problem is very common, I strongly suggest digging into the threads that is very similar to yours, and hopefully you will find something that would actually solve your problem.

My final advise; try to connect the device only on flashmode without doing any single thing. Inspect if the device could stay on flashmode for an extended period of time.

To do this, just connect the phone to flashmode, without even opening the flashtool. If the device is able to stay on flashmode on an extended period of time, try to proceed with flashing the stock ROM..

If the issue suddenly comes back, then redo the same thing, but now with official Sony's Xperia Companion (formerly PC companion) and flash the stock ROM using that tool instead.

Uh oh, try to put your device on a flat static surface and avoid touching the USB cable at all costs to avoid interruptions

Have a good day
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coover55:
Alright, everyone; this is what saved my life.

Xperia Companion managed to repair my phone in just a few minutes even though I couldn't do it myself. For some reason, it managed to make it stay on Flashmode for as long as it was needed. If anyone is having the same problem as I was, I can't stress this enough; use. Xperia. Companion.

I was annoying, but thank you so much, TechnoSparks. I really appreciate the link to that program. I don't know why I didn't find it before, though.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Good to know that it finally solved your issue, and you're welcome!

Since it worked for you, now it seems a lot more clear to me that it is your ftf to blame. In other words, it could be that your ftf is corrupted or invalid in some sense.. I would suggest for you in the future to download firmwares by using the Xperifirm, bundled along with the Flashtool. You can open such thing by hitting the XF button on the Flashtool's main toolbar. The great thing with this is that the ftf is automatically unpacked and ready to be flashed by flashtool without you having to do additional steps like moving the ftf files and such.

I personally like to use Flashtool over Xperia companion, but that is the choice for anyone themselves ;)

You might not find Xperia companion before because of its name.. Its name was revised twice as of now, first being Sony Updater Software (SUS), then PC Companion (PCC) and now Xperia Companion (XC?). During the era of which the XSP is released, the name of such tool was PC Companion. I wasn't aware when did Sony renamed it to Xperia Companion though..

Have fun with your newly revived device! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coover55:
Actually, the ROM I was trying to flash was indeed downloaded through Xperifirm. I downloaded the Telcel ROM, seeing as how that's my provider.

Thanks! I am. I decided to try again with a different, very similar ROM; Z3EXperienceSP. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-z3-experiencesp-t3122830 . It worked alright, but for some reason the GPS was very messed up. It wouldn't move most of the time, requiring me to constantly turn it off and back on in order to do what I installed the ROM for (play Pokémon GO). So instead, I decided to go with as standard of an LBL ROM I could find; something so beautifully normal that for sure, it shouldn't have any problems, right? Standard Cyanogenmod 12. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/xperiasp-locked-bootloader-lbl-t2947194 .

Turns out for some reason CM12 doesn't detect my SIM card. But eh, I'll just find another ROM I can install. For now, I'm reverting back to 4.3 and taking my phone to a help center for my provider, to see if maybe they can remove the SIM lock. If they can, I'll remove the Bootloader Lock and say "**** it", before just installing whatever ROM I fancy at the moment. Probably gonna dual-boot it if I can, with stock ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fallenangelrising90:
First id like to say this is my first time posting in any forum. I do apologize if this is in the wrong spot. I recently got an unlocked galaxy s5. Its the sm-g900t so originally made for tmobile i guess but it was unlocked brand new. When i took it home i was using it and noticed it was running android 4.4. Obviously i went to the settings and tried to update to the newest OS. It searched but couldnt find any updates. So i download samsung kies, it said it found the latest version and downloaded it. I installed it and everything and now when i boot the phone i get tmobiles boot logo and all their bloatware. Is there a way, anyway to download an android OS that is completely stock like for an unlocked phone? When i got the phone and turned it on there was no tmobile boot logo or any bloatware. Ive been searching online and cant really find anything on it. If someone could help me out id be ever so thankful!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rlichtefeld:
The reason it couldn't find any updates, is that the previous owner had installed a non-Stock Rom. By using Kies, you overwrote the firmware with Stock firmware.

You have a few options:

1) You can root your current phone and then de-bloat. This will keep WiFi Calling and you can decide what is bloat and what isn't. Titanium Backup can freeze apps you don't like, or there are several de-bloating methods on this forum.

2) You can install an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) based ROM. There are several on this forum (under Development sub-forum), and on the other SM-900 fora, especially the International S5 forum.

3) You can go with a CyanogenMod ROM.

The good thing about the SM-900T is that is has an unlocked bootloader, so you can flash to your heart's content.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ghleo:
Rooted my phone with a Kingroot app and I accidentally deleted files that won't allow me to do a factory reset (it goes into loop, I have to take the battery out to stop) and no main screen shows... so I downloaded a theme app to see the main screen.

I thought if I disable the kingroot app, I could run the factory reset...but wrong!! very wrong choice!!

My phone doesn't boot!! it goes into loop at the beginning (the T logo keeps spinning).

I can't go to a recovery mode but I can access a download mode... so I found few CWM recovery files, custom ROMs (all .tar files) run via Odin but all files failed with message saying;

for cwm recovery files " Lock operation failed"

for custom Roms "Complete (Write) operation failed"

I don't know what else I can try to fix this phone... any idea please??

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imanewbie:
I upgraded my T898 from 2.3.5 to 4.1.2 through Kies last month and it has been severely draining my battery doing basic things like short phone calls and listening to podcasts. I am thinking of either reverting to Gingerbread or trying out ICS before I go all the way back to GB. Any other suggestions?

Even though I have jailbroken iPhones I cannot seem to make total sense on the best source of information to go about downgrading the ROM. I would like to stick to stock ROMS from a trusted source but don’t know what sites to trust or if you can even find stock ROMS.

Then there is downgrading. It sounds like I need to find the ROM then use Odin to install it. Is that correct? Should I also root the phone?

Thanks for any tips or info.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
nice post. I have pulled all the firmware off of my stock v6.4 and was wondering if you have a fully working Scatter file i can test in sp flash tool
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] bibikalka:
Unfortunately, I do not.

It can be made manually out of 2 outputs :

cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name

A bit of Python would go a long way to make sure all addresses are correct. I am surprised there is not a tool like this out there ...
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomsgt:
Thanks have on that someone else already made but I don't know how to check it to make sure it is correct or not. I have never made a scatter before.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I am trying to kludge through with the conversions now. never done one before so its taking some time. I am getting hung up on the relation between the output of cat /proc/partitions that gives size in blocks and output of parted that has size in kB MB and GB. assuming kB to B *1024 then DEC to HEX the values all come out off by about 0.2% and i dont know if it is supposed to be rounded off.

thanks i just updated my scatter :)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
thats good. So are you gonna continue with the python script and maybe make some type of app with it?

I am not familiar with scatter files and spft that much so excuse me if this is completely wrong. But your numbers for the start and length do add up which seems correct. except that the flashinfo offset in the official update does not add up. So i looked at a couple other files I had found. (both from my other blu phone Life-one-X) and they also do not add up. (as in when I use a programmers calculator to add the hex). So as your numbers are correct I dont understand if the flashinfo is supposed to be mathematically in line or if it should be something else. Then that also leaves the sgpt partition in limbo after the flashinfo.

of course none of this should matter at the moment , i think, because both of these partitions are flagged in the scatter as not to be downloaded(flashed)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] bibikalka:
OK, good catch ! The thing is, my script is basically an automatic calculator, I use the output of the 2 commands, sort them semi-manually, and then run awk to extract names, addresses to be used with Python :

cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name
...a bit of work, and in Python end up as:
pname=["proinfo","nvram","protect1","protect2","lk","para","boot","recovery","logo","expdb","seccfg","oemkeystore","secro","keystore","tee1","tee2","frp","nvdata","metadata","system","cache","userdata","flashinfo"]

pdev=["mmcblk0p1","mmcblk0p2","mmcblk0p3","mmcblk0p4","mmcblk0p5","mmcblk0p6","mmcblk0p7","mmcblk0p8","mmcblk0p9","mmcblk0p10","mmcblk0p11","mmcblk0p12","mmcblk0p13","mmcblk0p14","mmcblk0p15","mmcblk0p16","mmcblk0p17","mmcblk0p18","mmcblk0p19","mmcblk0p20","mmcblk0p21","mmcblk0p22","mmcblk0p23"]

psize=[3072,5120,10240,10240,512,512,16384,16384,8192,10240,512,2048,6144,8192,5120,5120,1024,32768,37888,2736128,409600,12049920,16384]

Then I add everything sequentially, and print it out (I realized I am missing pgpt chunk, need to read it directly from mmcblk0!).

I don't see "sgpt" partition anywhere in any of the Android outputs.

And, there is an easy way to find out if flashinfo address is correct, first dd the partition in Android, 2nd read it using the addresses/lengths in SPFT. If it matches, the addresses are correct by definition ! ;)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] bibikalka:
[MENTION=5312578]mrmazak[/MENTION], [MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION]

I added pgpt and sgpt partitions to the list of addresses. I also read flashinfo via the SPFT, and compared to the one from dd, and it matched exactly. If I try to read past the last address I've counted, it gives me a read error, meaning the math is correct! Please see the section below for sgpt (16 Gb version of BLU R1 !!!)

Brilliant

OK sir you are brilliant, if you ever have spare time on your hands to let me drill you with questions I'd love the chance. Secondly, before I go making things worse, and I apologize if this has been answered:

According to your partitions here the scatter I was trying to unbrick my phone with is just all wrong. Or am I misunderstanding how it translates into scatter, for example my first partition was preloader at 0x0 with a 40000 length. Assuming pgpt is the preloader, and the length is 80k, this could very possibly be why I'm getting brom 4032? So if I edited the scatter to use proper partitions, files, and dug through my working 16/2 and got proper backups to use this would be where to start with any unbrick? Or do I have no clue what I'm talking about here.

Hello,

I got this Cricket phone, and mostly successfully had it switched over to be an AT&T phone. It was working well for awhile, then started freezing up from time to time, and I had to take the battery out to get a reboot. I did a factory reset, thought I had it fixed, then did a Kingroot. It was working well, again, for a little while, then started up again with freezing up, but now it was also sometimes not using data, or it said my data was not available. My husband's was fine, so I knew my account with AT&T was fine.

My intention was to uninstall the kingroot, then restore to factory, but after the uninstall of kingroot, it got stuck in Authentication Failed Error #9.

I have successfully installed drivers on my computer, and I am able to get it into Firmware update status, but my question is, I'm not sure what I should flash to the phone to have it work best with my AT&T service. Should I start back at the Cricket initial instal, or can I skip all that and go to a nice rooted ROM?

Thanks for your help!
