Xperia pah - Xperia SP General

So wish i never brought this Sony phone going back to Samsung.
Cant update the phone cant flash custom stuff rubbish software hate it now after two weeks just trying to get the thing into flashmode. unlock boot loader nonsense. waste of money.
I have tried flash tool but it asks for the phone to be booted to flash mode. I have never been able to get the phone into flash mode. I tried putting the phone back to how it was and now it's totally bricked and about as useful as a brick.
Got to go and by a new phone anyway now.

I literally clicked 2 buttons to root and install a custom recovery...
Maybe you'll find out about flashtool months from now too

Hei man if u dont know how to use flashtool and sony stuff means do not complain against Sony. I am using it since 5 months and i am flasing custom roms and stock roms countless times.... First learn how to use flash tool and its drivers then complain...

Dunno, I came from HTC and didn't find Sony phone customization to be difficult. The flashing, unlocking bootloader etc is easy to follow and more straightforward compared to HTC's cumbersome S-ON.

Hi guys and thanks for the reply.
The problem is WINDOWS 8 if you have windows 8 then it's impossible to boot the phone into flash mode and believe i really tried for weeks and i really know windows.
So i found a disk with my old windows 7 evaluation on it and installed that and the phone went straight into flash mode first time and i installed firmware and phone is back. Lost my Linux though to need to reinstall that.
It's so annoying when it's a simple driver issue

Yep... We can stop the Discussion here i think.. Because he got his Device Back...

Windows 8 is known for its problems with Android tools. Odin also had issues on Windows 8 by me. Flashtool, SUS and PC companion are working fine now.. Just Google a bit and also search here on XDA because a lot of fixes are reported here aswel

Sometimes PEBKAC errors can never be fixed.

The reason why i will never flash a custom ROM on my SII

For some month's ago i had a Galaxy S Plus and i liked it, but i wanted to flash a custom ROM on it. So i updated it with Odin to the newest stock firmware, and i innstalled Clockworkmod so i could flash a custom ROM.
So i flashed the custom ROM (MoonRom) on it using AROMA innstaller and it went successfully. And i used the ROM for one day, and it was fast, and so on, and had a funny sound when u pressed on the dialer keypad, like a water drop sound
I liked the ROM, but i wanted it back to stock (warranty reasons) .So i put to phone into download mode and i used Odin + the pit file and flashed it back to stock firmware and wiped out and formatted everything on it using recovery mode.
And later i used the phone dialer, and the keypad sounds from the custom ROM was still there, after i reflashed it????
I was extremely confused i flashed a billion stock firmwares on there and that water drop sound when u tapped the dialer keypad was still there. I had formatted it and everything and it was still there after flashing back????
I know own a Galaxy S II, and i will never flash somethign custom on there i am afraid that if i do that and then reflash back. Something on the old rom will ble left.
After that i gave my mom the phone. And i was extremly confused...
Maybe the keypad sound is left on the sd card?

Strange, but I wouldn't give up Roms just because of a water drop sound. To each his own.
Agree with the guy above me. Stock, the phone has way too much bloatware.

So do you know any way to get the keypad sounds back??? And also the keyboard sounds are also left from the custom ROM.
If you flashed back using Odin then its impossible that the sounds remain.
I can make you a flash package that should enable the stock samsung sounds if you really want it? You just have to tell me what firmware you will be running i.e. Gingerbread or ICS?

Hello I sold the phone to my mom, and she dont want me to play around with her phone. But thanks for suggestion
I made this post just to try sort things out why the old rom sounds is still there, and i used ODIN + the pit filed when i flashed the Galaxy S Plus.

Flashing roms, tinkering, working out issues and resolving them, making device better is what XDA is about and where the enjoyments is, If you dont like that or dont have the aptitude, patience to learn why are you even here or have a Android device?
My suggestion is to get a Nokia 3310 or an iPhone, Or at least do not come here and bore us with stories about why you dont want to flash your phone.

[TOOL][WINDOWS] Simple Tool

SIMPLE TOOL
This is a easy tool I made the other day. For now you can do simple enough tasks which just save you opening Command Prompt and flashing img’s etc. I do plan on expanding this a little and attempting to make it multi-device compatible. For now enjoy the limited function and let me know how you get on.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Simple stuff, hence the name.
+ The buttons state what the do so you shouldn’t have any issues.

FAQ's
PHONE ISN'T RECOGNISED...
+ Make sure you have your device drivers installed.
++ If you are using Windows 8 then you need to Advanced Reboot and turn of driver signature verification.
+ Is USB Debugging Enabled and Root Access to ADB level, within Developer Options?
PHONE IS BOOTLOOPING...
+ Chances are you have flashed the wrong boot image or one that isn't compatible. This could be because your run a ROM that doesn't support it or that it's plain and simple for the wrong device. Have a check again and make sure you use the right one.
THIS TOOL DON'T DO NOTHING RIGHT...
+ Check to make sure you can run commands and get the phone recognised using the old fashioned command prompt way. Simple adb devices etc. If this works and the tool doesn't then feel free to post. Just bare in mind I test the functions on a Nexus 4, Nexus 7 & Oppo Find 5 with which the functions have all worked.

I moded and configured program that is Based on UnlockRootPro+OneClickROOT and many more but this 2 programs have most support
for new phones and also for old models From 2.2- 2.3 to 4.0-4.03 also it is support Htc Hone mini, I merged this 2 programs and i tested
it with my friends phones. i Didnt tested it with some models but I can say that works on all android phones. Test it on your phone and say your opinion.
It may not work on a few of them but it is a small number.
I would ask all potential users on this forum to try out the program and to share their opinions also to share this program with your friends and if there are any problems here to share with other users and me to try help them. :good:

be careful and don`t try this. in the lg-g3 irc channel our only-hope-devs where afraid to do this because it could brick your phone forever.
i remember they said it is 50:50 chance it may work or it will destroy your device. i would be afraid to play the roulette with a expensive device like this.
this was the last info i had seen some weeks / months ago, maybe now they would say it is a 100% chance of perma brick!

Do you notice a REAL difference in speed? Not just "I THINK it's faster".
Also, could you, or anyone using this, record when they use their phone? Would be lovely.

So I finally found the courage to ROM

Hello XDA. I'm a new member here, thought I've been reading posts for a while before I could decide which phone to get.
I was really stuck on the 6P so here I am with my two days old Nexus and I'm loving it. (Feels like my next phone after this is going to be a Nexus, that's how awesome it feels)
The battery on the other hand is not what I expected, I don't have any battconsuming apps and it gets me through the day but I would like better battery life.
So I keep reading about flashing roms and kernel's. And I have no idea what is what. But after deciding I want PN + ElementalX (alot of people getting awesome battery with this combo I've heard) I started reading step-by-step guide how to do which gained me a bit of confidence to flash a ROM and kernel on my phone.
So I turned around, grabbed my computer, went for the USB cable and realised I don't have type-c on my PC. How do you guys do it?

The device should of come with a USB A to USB C adapter.
Mods can close down this thread, I feel really stupid.
Thanks for having me taking an extra look in the box, guess I was super excited about the phone I forgot to look for more than the phone and the charger.

Feels a little bit better now thanks
That's your guide I've been reading and tend to follow when I'm going to put pn on my phone.
Just wondering a couple of things since I'm a total Noob.
What is TCH19L? And if I want to install a ROM and kernel I need to follow all steps from 1-8?

MHC19I is the latest official build from Google. To install a ROM you need to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP recovery, and then install the ROM and kernel. Only those sections.

Steps 1, 2, 7 & 8?
Should I do an EFS Backup? Or is there no way that my EFS partition becomes corrupt?

Yes, and step #3 if you want to decrypt your device too.
There are very light chances that your EFS partition may get corrupt. For safety sake, make a backup of EFS partition, and store it on your PC.

Ok I'll go for the safe before unsafe since I barley know what I'm doing. Adb finds my device but fastboot does not. USB drivers are all up to date. May it be caused that all my USB ports is 3.0?

If that would be the situation, even ADB wouldn't detect your phone. Anyhow, fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode.

I held down power + vol down, open'd CMD as been told in the C->SDK->platform tools. And when i enter the command fastboot devices it just skips down one row. So I skipped and wrote Fastboot Flashing unlock and it says < waiting for any device >

We can see that fastboot is working correctly.
Is this the screen you see when you press the above key combo?

Then it's probably the drivers that are causing the issue. You can contact me on Hangouts if you like.

Finally got PN & ElementalX on my 6P and loving it so far. Phone is running cooler than before is the first thing I noticed. Let's see how battery life is after a day or two of use.
Thanks to DJBhardwaj for helping me fix what was wrong and why my phone did not connect and to Heisenberg for his easy step-by-step tutorial ? ?

Glad to see you got it all up and running. Sorry I wasn't here to help through the whole process, had to go to bed, I'm in a different time zone to most folks here.

Sorry for that. I didn't had the time to explain it all in words. So at that very second, the best solution I could find was to help personally. The information is already here, people just need to search.
