Hi friends, today I will show you how you can return to official firmware on Sony Xperia U.
For various reasons, the latest versions of Android (4.0.1 ICS), which came in the form of updates on Sony Xperia U, make the phone move badly. It seems that Sony's software engineers have not paid enough attention to older phones, they say this because on Xperia U versions of ICS or JB move excellently (Cyanogenmod), while the official roms seem to be made in a hurry. They probably have competition in the back of their heads and can't concentrate…
The first version of the firmware that came with the phone was the most stable and therefore today we flash-ui on that, that's a version of Android Gingerbread firmware 2.3.7, perfect even for those with the need to connect to server IP Voice.
Careful:
This method can be applied only on the Sony Xperia U will not work on other phones.
Why do we need?
1. USB Driver (flash mode)
2. Rom in "ftf" format
3. Flashtool

You will need to patiently armaments, some files will download quite difficult.

About Cristian CismaruI like everything related to IT&C, I like to share the experience and information I accumulate every day.
Learn as you learn!
The thing about losing the warranty is not adverse what you say you don't lose on the contrary you lose, because I spoke to Samsung and he told me that I wanted to give back 4.1.2 to 2.3.4 and I told him I can give with Odin and I have the original firmware says "if you do that operation you lose your warranty, we recommend you take it to an authorized Samsung service so you can do this" - officially. Cristi you forgot the flash but I tell you that if you take it to Sony I see that it was 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 on it and it says how it gave you back to 2.3.7 and you say with Flashtool it says yes you have lost your warranty, you want to pay for something. As with your Samsung N7000, I changed the motherboard in it, because that one was gone, it had nothing on it, it was destroyed by the incorrect flashing and of course it didn't start at all. I say what Samsung told me not to do once that I lose the warranty. And there's another thing I found right on my galaxy s2, my battery in 5 minutes was 100% charged, I was watching it on Youtube after I had 80%, I say damn it, the battery will be a little swollen, so it seems to me 2000mAh and I gave it reset factory I formatted the memory from it 16GB I deleted everything, and I took out the SD card A-DATA 16gb Class 10 and when I load it I consumed it, I loaded it 100% I enter Youtube I see 97% I say “hop "Something is not going well, as I have had problems with A-data class 10 cards which are very bad, I had one on an ip camera, it blocked my camera, and I put Verbatim 32gb class 4 on both and tel and it works razor, I have no problem. I do NOT recommend A-DATA bad microSD cards, I lost my battery and the phone was still working hard, I was going to go with the battery and I didn't go.
You better buy a Nexus 7 Edition 2013 and you no longer have to deal with rum / flutter / warranty / lost time / nerves / agony / ecstasy / headaches / nausea / vomiting / diarrhea / fever / tension / chills /… / ... / ...
It tablet a week and has no trace of lag, everything goes perfectly, the best hardware platform, the cleanest android.
The easiest way to change your room still remain samsung phones. I had a ZTE Racer 2 and he failed softu. I have found no way I can change to the original room. Now with Samsung using Odin and I have no better tool problema.Cea flash for samsung
Yes, the truth is that ZTE is a very popular company.
Find out more before you buy a smartphone, do a search to see which are the most "flexible" brands with a rich development, popular in this world of custom roms.
Buy all no-name sites and claims to have run iOS or what not operating system.
why do you say they are not good ZTE?!? that they are made in China?
I have a ZTE Blade II and ZTE Blade III since they came on the market..and I haven't had any problems so far.and it runs any android..do a search on the Forum, there is so much about zte how to install a rom… guarantee that to the other brands… such as samsung, iPhone, etc. All Phone Is…

Thank you for your tutorial.

She may be popular (China is a huge country, may be even as the number of sales Samsung), but it 0 qualities.
I say read my comment more carefully. I didn't use the words "they're not good."
There may be good things but a horrible marketing / weak which does not enjoy popularity as they deserve.
Regardless of the brand (there is even Samsung models) there may be models not addressed in forums that are weak or are not loved by developers.
Concluding, development and popularity in the world for any model ZTE Android is much lower compared to Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus4, HTC One. Furthermore ZTE's models will not find anything.
In the sentence "Yes, the truth is that ZTE is a very popular company" I was ironic. Hard to catch you!

Hello. I have a Xperia U with a version of Android 4.0.4 that moves very badly. I would cast tutorial version of you. But it gives me the following errors:

Hi Cristi, I have a VodafoneSmart Mini and tried to move my apps to the card settings apps settings but there is that button "Move to SD card, I tried a App2SD application which directed me all the settings and I wrote something like that "App2sd not available on this device". The internal memory is sufficient for applications (2,2Gb available) but I wanted to make Real Racing 3 and I need 1,5 Gb free in mem. Internal and should uninstall all applications for this game. If you still can do something (besides root) to move applications to the SD card on Vod. Smart Mini please help me.

Hello, I tried to go to 2.3.7 the Xperia U. I tripped in step with drivers not find them in any way. I have two computers, one XP and one 7 them. can not I do something good, than please tell me how can I manually install the driver. thank you very much!
I managed. be careful how to do that just like you and me wrong. So, open flashtool. no need to have the phone connected. left click on the lightning, let flashmode, click OK.
sourcefolder choose the path to the Xperia u st25i_6.0.B.3.184 (GB 2.3.7) _Generic USER. then give Flash.
Now hook up your phone (you close, hold down volume down and put cable) and you leave until they make it work. give me a mail if you managed
Hi,
How do I know if the installed Flashtool is for Windows 32 or 64 bit? The indicated link does not specify anywhere distinct download positions, and the application saved to me is only called "flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows".
I see the tutorial is clearly visible on the desktop Flashtool 64. Or you've saved it?
Merci ptr answer, I would like to begin the process and I encounter this problem (I Win the Ultimate 7 32 bit)
I have the same problem with those above.
I am told that the driver did not fail even installing it manually.
I go to Portable Devices, see my phone, update software driver, browse for software driver, let me pick… etc..and when I browse and choose the respective driver, it tells me that it does not contain a software driver compatible with Win on 32 bit. I also installed ADB Driver Installler, it tells me that I have Android ADB Interface installed on my phone but I can't find anything. Any solution? Does anyone answer us, or are we just "pulled by the ears" as "running the tutorial"?
Glad to see that the fix by deleting the comments bother you.
Wouldn't it be easier to assume the courage to say a "I don't know yet what answer to give"?
Sin. Watching with interest your site.
I managed just after your instructions. Thank you very much. I got rid of embarrassing and applications from Orange so: Thank you very much once again.
Hello! Regarding the problem with drivers, when it appears that there are no drivers installed; go to the folder where the flashtool was installed (usually located in C: \ Flashtool) go to the "drivers" folder, double click on "Flashtool-drivers", click on the next one, and search at the end of the list there Flashmode Drivers ”, check it and finish the installation. After that, run the flashtool, connect the phone by pressing the volume down button, and it should work perfectly. I hope I was helpful!
Thanks, I had done this already and installed including in that list, ptr driver Sony Xperia U.
Do not go, no matter what I make. The message is the same, I did not instalat.Tnx driver, anyway

And of course, from the "lightning" button -> flashmode -> ok -> sourcefolder (the location where you have "Xperia u st25i_6.0.B.3.184 (GB 2.3.7) _Generic USER" and then click on the flash.

Install drivers listed in the tutorial? You gave a restart after installing drivers? Are you sure that the USB data cable is not broken somewhere? Use the back of your computer USB ports that come directly from the motherboard and not the front USB ports (in front of)
You have disabled security software (antivirus şifirewall) before you start installing the drivers?
