Xperia U - Internal Memory write protect

[chris699]

I buy this Xperia U used, and it boot to the rom very well, but the problem is that I can't done any changes to the rom and Force close every app, I try to flash it with flashtool and SEUS and no success.

When I was tooking a picture with the camera appears a message that says "memory write protected"

I am very desperate, because flashmode works but in flashtool when I try to flash, in the flashtool log's stays in "Reading device information"... Can anybody tell me a way to fix this??

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I am learning

have you unlocked the bootloader? have you flashed a custom ROM?

[chris699]

I don't know if the bootloader is unlocked because I don't buy it New, and the rom it has right now is stock ICS 6.1.1.b.1.54, any ideas?

I apreciate your answer but SEUS doesn't recognize my phone in flash mode, and flashtool stop flash process in "Reading device information" pretty weird 😕 please help!

Besides I can not do Factory reset because as I say, the internal memory is under write protect 😕

reinstall SUS > restart your PC > disable your firewall and antivirus and try again

[chris699]

SUS re-installed and.. No, is not responding to the flash mode 😕

try a different pc
