Hey guys,
I have an x10i that just went dead one day, I thought it needed a software re-install so I did it. Now it wont turn on and I just get a quick green blink and a vibrate when I turn it on. Ive flashed it 10 times via sony update too and pc companion and flash tools. I dont know what to do, any help would me much appreciated.
Download SEUS from Sony and flash. Make sure it is fully charged and make sure you are using the right USB cable and try using several different USB ports on your computer if the first one doesn't work.

Thanks for the response, I have a fully charged battery and just re-flashed with still no luck. What did you mean about the "right usb cord" ?
Thanks again.
I mean reflashed with SEUS (not PC Companion) and by right USB cord, I mean the one that came with the phone. Or if you have the possibility, try another one.
Tried with 2 different usb cords and on 2 different cpus. I think Im S.O.L
One more question, after a flash how long does it take for the xperia to boot up?
During a flash with SEUS it tells you when the phone is rebooting....same with the Flashtool.
Screen turns on...still black...then Sony logo, then your bootlogo followed by desktop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8
Is it successfully flashing using SEUS or flashtool? Does it actually flash and then not boot? What does it say when you flahs using the flashtool?
But again, if the flashtool isn't working, you are going to have to use SEUS to get back to scratch. Run it as Admin...let it boot up and do nothing to the phone for at least 2 minutes. Do not swipe or move a thing....let it settle down.
Some of you people who ask for help really don't provide much information at all.
To me it looks like a wrong firmware problem... version you have installed isn't the same as kernel.
I would flashtool....root....turn off phone....SEUS full reflash....

When the flash finishes up it says to turn on the device and the start up may take some time, Ive let it sit for hours and still nothing. IDK what the hell is wrong with it.
K well I give up. Ive tried 3 more times using a cpu with xp and still the same thing.
If any one else has had this problem please let me know.
looks like the faulty motherboard issue to me, some users are experiencing this problem, if you have warranty get a new phone if don't then i don't know what else can you do :/
Great. I have no warenty so looks like I'm screwed.

Maybe it has not finished with the guarantee and i can use it to get a new one.
I know i am a really noob at this things i am english is not perfect but what can i tell, sh.. happen.
Thanks for your time and i will update the status of my phone.
I guess you didn't unlocked the boot loader.If you didn't unlocked the boot loader try using pc companion to fix the phone.
Pc companion/support zone/phone software update/repair phone and follow the instruction.I think this will fix the phone.

Hi.
I need some help with my phone.
I tried unlocking the bootloader with SE Xperia Flasher but something went wrong.
I got to the point where it rebooted the phone, but when I got back in Windows my PC wont recognize my phone, I can't even charge it with a wall contact.
Is this possible to break thru the software? Because I sure didn't do anything to damage it physically.
Thanks for all your help
Anyone? =/

No, you cant brick your phone until bootloader is fully unlocked.
You can only get into "sof brick" state which is followed with red led blinking (three times after SE logo). I think this is that state, but, you didnt mentioned how is your device behaving now...

Strange. I don't get any red LED blinking. My phone boots with a blue LED (Fastboot?) and then turns on normally, I can use WIFI and Bluetooth and that's all I've been able to try so far. Haven't had any chance to test if it works with phone calls since i have no sim card for it. If it is "soft bricked", is there any possibility to know it for sure?
Thanks for helping me out

If your phone boots up normally it means, thats not bricked
Dont know what blue led during bootup means, but didnt see it anytime on locked bootloader, so I expect that you were succesfull and have unlocked bootloader It probably is fastboot mode.
Remember that Windows recognize only devices in usb debugging on and with proper adb drivers installed.

Well, that's good news.
Haha might be, if I'm lucky. ANy idea how to check if it really is unlocked?
Strangest thing is that the phone is recognized by the PC now, a few days later, doing nothing. Just plugged it in and both charger and USB connection os recognised. Really didn¨t do anything at all to make it work

Yes, try to flash any kernel for locked bootloader. If it will be successful, you are on unlocked bootloader If not, ant it will return error at the beginning of the flashing, you are still on locked bootloader.

To check if your bootloader is unlocked or not :

5 months ago I bought my Xperia Ray, unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, flashed aire's kernel and rom and everything was good until yesterday. A friend was using it, he was playing fieldrunners and all of a sudden it sort of froze with only the white LED on and the screen off. I tried holding the power button to shut it off with no avail. I then took the battery out then back in to restart it and no response at all. Tried connecting the charger but the LED would not turn on and since then, my ray has been like that. I don't know what to do, flashtool, update service or pc companion can't recognize the phone, but when I plug it in, it appears on the device driver manager as ZEUS flash drive (which I think is normal), but it is just not recognized and the LED doesn't even turn on when charging or connected to the pc. I want to know if it's fixable or not
Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Try full charge ur phone? Maybe is just battry drop or flash it using seus? Fastboot mode working?
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
The thing is I don't know if it's really charging, no LED when I connect it. I already left it charging for a whole day and still nothing... I will try to charge the battery using a different phone. And no fastboot or fastmode at all, no LED to know if it's on either.
Did you overclocked it?if yes you could have burn the cpu
Inviato da me!
Unfortunately I did, to the typical 1.4, I wasn't sure if it was that, because it wasn't even warm when it happened, but that was the one answer I did not want to hear u.u. Is there anything that can be done?

Wait,i'm not totally sure of that,but is possible,however if none of the other method worked i think the last resource is sony service,if you are lucky is possible they give you a new phone without investigate about bootloader,kernel etc...many people have reported that,good luck,and happy new phone!:beer:
Inviato da me!
Well... I unlocked the bootloader the official way :s I don't know if they check the iem before receiving it.

Maybe a OTA Update ?! - When you try to turn it on does the LED flash When yes, try to use Flashtool to unbrick it.
(Unlock BL or something in Flashtool)
I'm sure you burned your CPU. The Same Happens to my Friend - Just a LED Notification and BlackScreen 4ever LOL
....never exagerate with overclock....
Inviato da me!
Yeah, I'm sure it's burned, but no LED at all! Too bad I can't even replace it through the company since I unlocked the bootloader the official way ... Oh and I didn't exaggerate with the OC, it was the regular 1.4 which I assume most rooted ray users use it at... or am I wrong? :s
Do it step by step;
-First uninstall all sony pc companion components.All sony drivers.
-Then download SEUS from this link.http://db.tt/jpD87GkM
-Install and run.After updating the program close.
-Then download pda.net drivers from here:http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php and install.
-Download and install latest flashtool from the topic.
-After all of these you must relock ray because you need to SEUS to unbrick your phone and it requres locked bootloader.
-Download this ftf file and flash this file via flash tool.http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd .(Your device must be seen after installing pda.net drivers in green flash mode)So your phone is have locked bootloader.
-So every think is ready.Open SEUS than select your ray that is it.For this step:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805
-You can unlock your phone again if you want than
Thanks, but still flashtool and SEUS do not recognize the phone. With no LED to tell me if it's either on flashboot or flashmode no flashing can be done. Chances are the cpu really is busted
Hi,
i have problem with SE Xperia Mini Pro (SK17). All of a sudden, screen went black when I was using it. Ever since, I cannot even start the phone. I tried to turn it off, but it doesnt work. I also put the battery out of it, waited for a little while and then put it back - but it still doesnt work. When i try to turn it on, only black screen is what I see.
I tried some repair shop and they told that it is problem with Software and that it needs to be reloaded, I mean that SW has to be replaced with the new one.
Can anybody please help me do that?
Thanks a lot guys

Did it brick while a software update or really just while using it? It's not battery related?
Is your bootloader locked and are you using a custom kernel or rom?
You will have to flash the original firmware again using flashtool. For that download flashtool from the development section and install it. Go to the installation folder > drivers and install all drivers for all devices.
Afterwards download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 .ftf for SK17i from here and place it in the flashtool folder > firmware. Delete all other files in firmware folder.
Open flashtool, click on the flash and select flashmode -> ok. Select the 4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf and click okay. Let your phone turned off and hold volume down and while you hold volume down just connect usb to pc. Don't power phone on, just connect to pc while holding volume down. Flashtool will automaticly flash the firmware. I hope your battery status is more than 25%
Don't disconnect your phone while it's flashing. Afterwards plug phone off and reboot, it should be alive again
Thank you, I will try it.
No, it is not battery related, I checked battery. And it didnt happen during SW upadte, it happend during regular usage. Al of a sudden...
Thanks again for your reply, I will try it as soon as I can. I hope I will be able to do it despite the fact, I have no experiences in such things... (I use iOS, this Android phone belongs to my girlfriend)

If you have any questions or need screenshots, just tell me I will post them for you
So I did everything as you wrote, but it didnt help Phone was flashed correctly I guess, there were no errors in report. Should I try some different mode or something else? Anything?
Or does it mean, that it is not software failure?
Thanks anyway
Did it vibrate, When you power on the phone?Can you see the boot logo?try to repair it through sony pcc.if the problem still exist then its hardware related. You have to replace the display.....
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
I think it is your display or ribbon problem.All the sliding phones have this ribbon problem.
Yes, it did vibrate. Im not sure it is display problem, because the display shines, but only black color - it is not as black as if it is turned off.
And no, I can not see boot logo. Only vibration and shining black color

try to repair it through Sony PC Companion. if it doesn't work then your display is dead
Beforing that flashing, PC Companion wasnt able to recognize phone - now it does. It immediately recognized, that there s xperia mini pro plugged-in.
So does it mean, that SW is fine and the display is messed up? Now i m trying to repair through pc companion, i ll see if it helps.
Thanks guys anyway for all the help

Looks like display's got a problem. So try to repair via pc companion (guess bootloader is locked if pcc recognizes your phone) and if that doesn't help bring it to service
PC Companion didnt help. It has just loaded the latest software to the phone, but it is still same - i try to turn it on, it vibrates and then black screen is shining.
So I guess you guys might be right - display might be dead.
What does it mean that bootloader is locked? The phone was recognized, I also updated the SW via PC Companion

well... display + ear loudspeaker (or flex cable can it be, i m not sure)...
i m not sure if it s worth repairing (I bought it second hand, i dont have warranty certificate)
You mean warranty for phone? Ask at service center how much it is to repair without warranty certificate...
And: No if pcc recognizes phone the bootloader is locked!

Try this:
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s166qsg8qaaxc43
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Now do what mihahn said.
I hope it helps, if not then it is a display problem
Eventually, there was nothing left to try, so I went so mobile repair service a had it diagnosed.
The only problem was flex cable. They also told me that it is quite common problem for slide phones. Fortunately, display was OK.
