Hello,
there is no problem to root 18.1.A.2.25.
it's not so easy than .21 or .23 but it's well working
first, you need to be on 18.1.A.2.25 :
1- allow debbug USB, and to put the scard in MSC mode
2- connect the phone to the PC, in order to have the question about allowing debug. answer yes but don't forget to tag "allways allow", because, it will not be possible to accept once you will have flashed the kernel 18.1.a.1.14.
3- shutdown the phone
4- Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.14 with Flashtool.
5- start the phone and connected it to PC. don't be afraid, you only see the SONY logo, and after the screen turn black. you haven't display, but the phone is well working.
6- Root the phone with RootKitXperia (last version is 20140719)
7- shutdown the phone. as you have no diplay, it's not possible to use the regular screen "shutdown", so hold the power button and the vol+ until the phone vibrate 3 times (firstly, it vibrate once, but stay holding buttons and the phone vibrate 3 times)
8- Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.2.25 with Flashtool.
9- start the phone
run SuperSu and accept upgrade.
enjoy
Available for D5102 ?

Kernel links are all I need I can't find the firmware anywhere, any chance you could post them/upload them somewhere for us? thanks!
P.S. à clermont à l'instant, mais venant dl'haute loire!
Use XperiFirm ,you can download the firmware and make it into FTF using Flashtool
after step 5 u have to wait sometimes (5-7 mins) then follow step 5

First I had setup the flash driver and flashtool software.

then i begin to use the root tool ,, connected the device then i clicked the run me, pressed enter and left it to do its job, until it's finished (All Done) then i pressed enter again to exit ..
when i tried to see the (Super user) icon i didn't find it
so i tried to continue the last step by flashing the the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel the same way i did before ,But it didn't work this time.
Now i don't know if the root failed or what
and i don't know also if i flashed the old kernel correctly or Not
and i don't know what to do!
should i start the whole thing from the beginning or what should i do?

WILLING TO DONATE for someone who can get this phone work!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just recieved an xperia ZL, i bought on the internet. The seller sold it as it is not working, it cant connect to any network, or its just not recognizing the sim, and the back cam is not working. The cam can start but when I take a pic with it and it tries to save it then I get an Error message without any error codes. I think the phone should be flashed, and I need help with it. Will it make the cam work? And can it help on the other problem with the sim card? I took some pics about the details of my phone, I dont understand anything from it but it can help for some of you
who is an expert, the only problem is that I cant link it in my post because I am new on this forum...
UPDATE
FLASHTOOL installed - YES
Flashtool recognize the phone when it is started - YES
When flashtool asks me to connect the phone in flashmode and it shows me the instructions I cant get it in flashmode.... The instructions dont disappear when I hold the volume down key and connect it to the usb, just red yellow green led flash for <1 second, and nothing happens... then I must restart the phone with the small button on the back of it.
So the thing is stuck here!!! I think my phone is not able to get in flashmode! Is there another method to flash it without using flashmode on phone???? And I think it can start in fastboot mode because if I hold the volume UP key and connect it to usb then the blue led is ON...
One more thing that I was searching for and gugled it and cant find answer
ROOTING STATUS: unknown If I'm right there should be a text like Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes or No... not unknown.
SOME SPECS:
Phone Software Version: 1266-7597_10.1.A.0.287 GENERIC - userdebug
File System Version: Global-LTE_10.1.A.0.278
S1 boot version: 1264-2309 S1_Boot_APQ_8064_LA1.2_9
ETS Software version: 1269-3849_5
SIM lock: here is everything 0 and no [X]
If you need some other info just ask me, an dtell me where to find it.
THX FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Installed the latest flashtool, drivers too, but when I try to flash the phone I have to turn it off and then disconnect the micro usb, I'm holding the volume down key and connect back the usb, then I see a green led on the phone and after that a red one and nothing happens.

And I would like to ask someone a favor who has ZL too, to look at the SIM card slot and see how much pins are there, in my there is 3 and it seems like the fourth on the left side is missing?!?

There must be something u r doing wrong.
For the Z/ZL u need this version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
Find it here also: http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1371023098000
PC: Flashtool and Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed, Sony PC Companion installed.
XPERIA : Enable USB Debugging, Enable Install from Unknown Sources
Then, turn your phone off.
Start Flashtool, click on the thunder icon, select the file u want to flash, ok, wait for it to load, once the program asks for the phone connect the USB cable, then volume down, keep pressing it while u connect the phone to the usb...should work.

Thak you for your reply... Iam ready to donate for someone who can get this phone work for me!!!!!
I've tried exactly as you said. Everything is installed and the flashtool is that version and it recognize my phone, and when i start the flash and the flashtool shows me the instructions to connect my phone in flashmode, there is the point where I'm stuck. I've noticed that I simply cant get the phone in flashmode. I'm holding the volume down key while I connect the usb in it, then the red yellow green leds flahses for <1 seconds and nothing happens. I'm sure that the phone is unable to get in flashmode. Now I think I need another flashing method where flashmode is not required, if it is possible....
Anyway thank you for your time and reply!!
have you tried to check on sony service ? just make sure that is not hardware broken.
There are several method other than using flashtool.
1. Try repair feature in PC companion
2. If cannot update try download SUS (Google this)
3. Or if u can enter fastboot, u can try to flash the kernel via flashtool. Open flashtool, then go to fastboot mode, then unplug cable, Off phone, enter fastboot mode, in flashtool select flash kernel, select .img file (extract from kernel u download, ensure it has recovery I.e doomkernel) then flash. This will only work if ur bootloader unlocked already + rooted.
4. Try to root u phone 1st then unlocked bootloader. (please backup ur TA partition, otherwise u will loss ur DRM key or in other word loss ur bravia engine feature, custom Rom have this feature already actually, unless u want to go back to completely stock Rom)
5. Or download older version of flashtool. Ur version of Rom .278 seem very rare, never heard of it. Maybe the first Rom version before .350.

Yes for that you'll need root with cwm installed. So that you can flash using any zip..

Thanks for your thread.
But I spent hours now, to find a method to reanimate my phone. Still I didnt find a suitable semc package or sin_file_set to flash in s1tool.
In other thread I read a hint that maybe I destroyed my trim area. First of all I made a backup of trim area with backupTA program. The backup is a .zip file or .img file. Is there a possibility to restore my phone?

Hi there,
I believe I hard bricked my phone as well (screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash).
However when connecting to the S1 tool Emma from Sony it detects the phone (see below screen shot) and says the bootloader wasn't unlocked. I am pretty sure I have done this. (It is my first attempt to install a custom ROM).
The S1tool in the description below seems not to recognize the device.
After ploughing through some threads and reading about opening the device looking for test points I thought your thread here seems to be more fit for purpose.
I used EasyRootTool and LockedDualRecovery. I also created a back up file with Backup-TA before bricking it. I got this on my other machine and can attach this if needed tomorrow.
Some help and guidance would be very much appreciated.

Another point: in flashtool you can also unlock and lock the bootloader BLU button). (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597) (http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/46-sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081) (Type in phone *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info => Configuration. If bootloader is unlocked it will say: "Bootloader unlocked: Yes". If it says something else like "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", it means the bootloader is locked.). So you can check, if your bootloader is really unlocked

Hi there,
I believe I hard bricked my phone as well (screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash).
I dont believe, that your phone is ahrdbricked. It seems to be a soft brick: screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash.
So, you can boot in flashmode. Use flashtool (latest version 9.18), its a powerful tool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952) (http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/0...allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/) (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php) If you have installed flashtool, change to the flashtool folder (C:\flashtool), then drivers, execute the .exe and choose the drivers (fastboot, flashmode and for phone model), then run flashtool. In the links above you can see how to use it. Just boot your phone in flashmode (volume down and usb connecting, run flashtool, click the flash button, choose flashmode and choose a stock rom (which you must download before and copy as .ftf file in the folder firmware in flashtool folder, or type the button device, checkdevice updates, choose your device and download a appropriate stock rom ), then reboot, root yout device again with easyroottool or newroot, reboot in recovery and flash a custom rom. I think it should be possible.

Hi! Did you have any luck?
hi,
Firstly I want to tell you that I am new in this world.
I got problem with my sony xperia m dual (c2004). Firstly I rooted my phone to install Link2sd, but while booting it goes in bootloop when sd card is inserted in it. Somewhere on web I found solution for bootloop to unlock the boot loader. I done that from developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader. Now my xperia m dual is unable to boot, showing only sony waves.
Also I found that there is no any flashtool which dont have xperia m drivers.
I googled for the solution but didnot get proper solution.
Please guide in this matter.
Easy there, this will Help

Download Flashtool
Install drivers and leave the default location as C:
then go to c:\Flashtool\drivers\flashtool drivers.exe and double click it
select fastboot and flashmode drivers and also Xperia P,S,U drivers
