I am very Lucky

But i dont understand what you mean?

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

well it is my battery, thats why the flashing keeps failing. although the battery charges it doesnt last that long in flashing. and for some reason i can only flash at speeds of like 38400 or less which takes hours to finish i'll be getting a usb cable to bring that up dramtically and get rid of the com cable. But now i gotta find a way to charge the damn battery when no one i know has a sony ericson phone. Any ideas now guys ? lol
My guess is either the phone charges fully and the flashing is just draining the battery for taking so long or the phone charges only to a certain point cuz of the messed up flash problem

In Setool ini file i edited the speed to 38400 and was able to atleast do afew things on the phone without getting rsa request (guess my cable is very picky on speed) so looks maybe my only hope is a usb cable.
It gets to the flashing part but it still doent go through, damn soooo close ...

100% bad cable/OS/Com-port interaction with Setool. Try and switch all unecassary running processes off or even better try a different PC. But at least Setool can boot the phone now.

im like positive its the cable being picky and shitty, so imma wait for the usb and then try my luck again. I tried the cable and setool in another pc and got the same results.

Like i said, only with a hammer or car or by throwing it off of a 1000m high cliff can you kill a phone
