Sony Flashtool for Xperia J

When will the Xperia J be included on the Sony Flashtool. It seems strange that higher spec phones are supported but not the lower end phones.
People with lower spec phone are more likely to want custom ROMs more than those with the higher spec phone.

  • Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't work with my Sony Xperia J

    I have installed Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.7.1, but it won't connect to my Sony Xperia J which I have only had for 3 months.
    I get the error "Could not connect to your Xperia device. Please disconnect and reconnect it again. Restart the device if the problem persists". All the time.
    I have tried all of the suggestions in the error message. I have also tried reinstalling Sony Bridge for Mac, to no avail.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac. I am also using the correct USB lead - the one supplied with the phone.
    The Mac system log shows this error:
    Apr  3 20:42:35 robins-imac.default Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac[973]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_WRITE] delete: "No such file or directory" - 0x2
    I suspect that whoever wrote Sony Bridge for Mac did not try it on OS X 10.9.2.
    I am seriously thinking of getting rid of this phone and getting one that works properly with the Mac - ie, not a Sony phone. Sony always seem to have problems with supporting Macs, for some bizarre reason.

    Hi Yorkshirecomposer,
    I will ask the development crew about the system log error. Additionally, could you provide me with error logs to send them as well?
    Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac: 
    1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
    2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
    3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
    4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
    5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
    Best Regards,
    David

  • Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

    Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

    Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
    - goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
    - Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
    - Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
    Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David

  • Problem with Xperia P and Sony Bridge for Mac

    hi there,
    I'm trying to update my Xperia P to ICS and, since I've not received any notification, I'm using Sony Bridge for Mac (my phone is not firmware branded).
    So, i plug my phone at the mac, starting Bridge and wait for the download... until my phone turn off itself and Bridge advice me that no phone is connected. How can i solve?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately it's not possible to get back to Android 2.3 if you have updated to Android 4.0 I'm afraid.
    To be able to sort it out and get the phone back to the way it should be - now slow or "laggy" - I'd recommend you to try performing a repair of your phone's software first of all.
    Just follow the instruction above given by my colleague Samuel and you'll hopefully easily solve the issue. Fingers crossed!

  • Browse files on Xperia device - Sony Bridge for Mac

    is it just me, or is using the Sony bridge for mac's "Browse files on Xperia device" pretty useless?
    Sure you can see what files are on the device, but if you right click there are no options... you can't hit space bar to view pics on the device and even double clicking on a file does NOTHING! Isn't there something else I could rather use other than Sony Bridge for Mac to view my devices files?

    Not a Mac expert but with Windows based systems you can open the Computers connected devices page and then open the device to view files meaning Pc Companion is not needed

  • Sony Video Unlimited no HD playback for Xperia Z2

    Hello Sony,
    When will Sony Xperia Z2 owners be able to watch purchased movies through Sony Video Unlimited in HD on their devices?? Currently HD movies purchased will only play in HD on the Playstation console and SD on mobile devices, I think given that the Xperia Z2 can support huge external storage card sizes that we should be able to be given the HD option, as well as that we have a Full HD screen display.

    Excessionist wrote:
    As I understand this, this is a limitation in the service, not a technical issue. Usually, content owners do not allow HD playback to mobile devices, even if HD is available from the same service for viewing in your living room.
    That is a shame since HD movies bought from the Sony Video Unlimited store would look so nice on the Sony Xperia Z2 Full HD screen as oppose to paying for movies just to have a SD version available for mobile. Hope they are able to provide the HD content for Xperia Mobiles/tablets as I probably like most other Sony fans purchase content from the Sony ecosystem, I seen quite a lot of movies in Google Play that give the option to purchase HD version.

  • Sony should offer "Recycling program" for Xperia 2011 users

    With the last news, there is no hope to use a stable OS for Xperia 2011 users.
    If we don't get JellyBean, There is no meaning to use this buggy laggy ICS.
    So Sony should offer "Recycling program" for Xperia 2011 users just like Apple.
    Sony should think customers.
    We don't deserve to be ignored.

    Sign this petition if you want to try to reason with Sony, about upgrading all xperia 2011 to 4.1.1.

  • Unable to perform update with Sony Bridge for Mac

    I have not been able to update my Xperia Z1 (model C6906) through Sony Bridge for Mac.
    While attempting this in SBM version 3.5 the following messages would appear:
    There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to start local server)
    then:
    There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to parse installer XML(code 11))
    SBM has now updated to version 3.6(3602) and still no luck. The software is able to download the update engine but then remains stuck in the initializing phase, talking to update engine.
    My phone is at build# 14.1.G.2.257. The proposed update seems minor, as the build # doesn't change but it would be great to have this issue resolved in time for kitkat 4.4
    There doesn't appear to be a problem with the phone as the staff at the Sony Store were able to perform my initial out of the box update with PC Companion.
    My Mac is running  OS10.9 and the java version is 1.6.0_65
    Any advice would be much appreciated

    In the mean time it would be worth updating the version of java you are running on your MAC:

  • Restore original Sony firmware on Xperia Z with Linux tools

    Hello,
    I tried Cyanogenmod 10.2 Milestone and after that my IMEI was gone and I could not make calls any longer.
    I now would like to restore the original Sony firmware for my Xperia Z. But, I do not use and do not have MS Windows. I have the Android SDK installed.
    How can I restore the original Sony firmware just with Linux tools? Can I do that with the Android SDK?
    Thank you in advance.

    GREAT! I HAVE MY IMEI BACK!!!
    After installing the latest Cyanogenmod I have my IMEI back and the SIM card works again.
    To avoid future problems, how do I backup my IMEI? What folders or files do I need to backup the IMEI?
    Thank you.

  • Sony says 2011 Xperia phones might get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

    Hi! looks like not all is lost!
    http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2195619/sony-says-2011-xperia-phones-might-get-android-41-j...

    The information has been confirmed on the product blog (http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2012/07/31/on-android-4-1-jelly-bean/).
    At least, it shows that Sony has not let their customers and older products down, contrary to what is said by some angry and impatient customers. Yes, software development takes time, and Sony may have been a little fast to release its ICS for every phones. But this news proves that Sony is looking into every possibility to improve its users experience.
    I heartily hope that my neo v will get Jelly Bean and its new functions, with improved performances compared to ICS. So thank you Sony for considering it.

  • Cover for charger alert when is open for Xperia Z2

    How to setting the alert for Xperia Z2 when the Cover for charger/USB port is on open pisition ?

    The phone can't sense if the cover is open or not. Smart Connect will however give you a reminder to check/close the flap after charging. If you selected the option to not show the reminder again and want it back you can go to Settings -> Apps -> Smart Connect -> Clear data.
