I installed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 on my Xperia Ray (ST18i). Now I want to get back to firmware with the FTF package shared in this thread.
I'm trying to flash the package using Flashtool, but software doesn't recognize my device. I select "SK17" from the list (as it was adviced somewhere in the forum), but when I plug the device with flash mode Flashtool says:
Error flashing. Aborted.
Now unplug the device and power it on
Then go to application settings
turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
Unknown Sources and USB Debugging are turned on, I installed all USB drivers (ADB, SEMC USB, Gordon's Gate) on my PC, I also installed PC Companion and SEUS. But I still get the same error.
Please help.. How can I flash that firmware package to my device?
(Sorry for my English..)
I couldn't solve my problem yet. Any ideas? Is this about Cyanogenmod, or Flashtool?

I've flashed a few different roms (trying to get around this), and i can't get flashtool (latest version, just downloaded yesterday) to recognize that my phone is in debugging mode. it flashes fine, no issues, then i disconnect, restart the phone, turn on USB debugging and allow non-market apps.
then i reconnect, and flashtool always says debugging is off, when the phone says debugging is on. i turn off the phone, and reconnect while it's booting, and i get the same result. i can flash all i want, but i can't get flashtool to root the phone, or install xrecovery.
i've searched, and can't find a solution. any ideas?
- Trying Open Flashtool with the phone connected.
- Uninstall flashtool and install an old version of the program
- if does not work, change the cable (I've had a similar problem, I bought a new cable...)
Same issue found my solution
Hey I had the exact same issue but I found a solution.
My device is SE x10i 2.3.3 Generic
What I did was accidental.
I tried the old method of routing gingerbread which was too downgrade using "X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic.ftf"
but wat I also did was extract the load & kernal from the original ftf that I used to flash my phone with in the first place and put them into their own bundle so I could restore them.
After Flashing with the aZuZu downgrade
I disconnected the phone and turned it on it was stuck at the load screen where it says Sony Ericsson so I connected it again and my pc started downloading drivers.
But I installed the SEMC USB driver in the first place so I was wounder wth was goin on.
It turns out that in order for this to run smoothly you must make sure ALL DRIVERS are installed I personnally thought there was only one driver lol.
So you need to download the SEMC MASS STORAGE driver and 2 others (can't remember the names) perhaps the easiest way would be to just install the latest pc companion not sure but anyways this worked for me.
hope this helps
Please someone advise
I have read about a million threads and am unable to find the answer
My SE x10 mini e10i is in a constant boot loop showing the SE logo
I have tried using SEUS and it worked first time around,but after having tried a different rom to flash again with same problem
This time around it wont repair saying that the version is up to date
Also same with PC companion
First time around Flashtool did not work when I had my phone in USB debugging mode and started to flash it put USB debugging mode off and rebooted the phone. The only ftf that worked was nAa-08 - 2.6.29.6 loader and kernel. The rest of them it gave me the error of USB debugging turned off.
Now it doesn't even want to pass the logo and there is not CWM or xrecovery on the phone. When i try to flash it,the phone resets out of Flash mode and says USB debugging if off please turn on
Please if someone can advise. I even tried updating USB drivers,changing admin rights ex.

i have this problem like this x10mini(my friend phone).....seus not work....flashtool say usb debugging if off...
but PC companion work for me...
SE X10mini with GINGER-DX
HAAHAHAH!!!
Can't believe it,after no sleep and lots of coffee
Got it working,plus flashed GingerDx which is one awesome amazing rom
The whole problem was with Windows 7
After extensive googling, I came across information that Windows 7 compatibility has issues with USB Debugging drivers
Had to set restrictions within Windows and then force install specified drivers
I used Flashtool with admin rights and first tried to flash a whole .ftf but did not succeed
The only .ftf that flashed was the E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08.ftf
but that only includes a kernel and loader (but which helped me to be able to enter recovery
This is where i copied the Gingerdx.zip file on my SD card and tried to install
Did not work thou,baseband issue like before
So I took a chance,went back to Flashtool and tried to flash another .ftf file
2 of them failed due to the USB debugging issue. I un-installed the USB driver from computer manager,set Flashtool to only install baseband files and then hooked my phone up in flashmode plugged it in and wola,the driver like before installed (correct one for flash and not mass storage)
Thus from here did the whole .ftf flash and then in recovery mode installed the GingerDx.zip which worked now due to the baseband being correct
Thank you coffee,screw you Windows 7 (PS : also being 64bit)
And thank you for one awesome O/S stelios97
Sir I have encountered problem like yours, but with SE WT19i Live,
Please Elaborate this one..

Ihave problem with Bin4ry's root tool. it doesn't do anything, just says * daemon started successfully * and stopping here. then i tried flashtool, installed drivers from zero. when i connect my device with usb debugging to pc, flashtool says
03/026/2012 15:26:12 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

I rooted my Sola using Flashtool v0.9.6.0. Works perfectly for me.
Download the flashtool from here and root it. Make sure you are in MSC mode too.

Update to ver 10 ( flashtool)
sent via mighty SOLA running eXperience on CM9!!
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything and nothing works. Any idea?
try to make a factory data reset and try to turn it on
or try try to flash the ics rom again
if nothing work you need to be an unlocked bootloader user
or if you tried to root with restore while you are opening the flash tool it wont work cuz the root with restore makes any rooting programe not work
i have a LWW Unlocked bootloader
i want to flash a rom but im in a stock ICS .587 non-root stock kernel
All drivers are already installed (i think), when i open flashtool and connect my phone in fastboot mode (volume up) the blue led is turned on but it can't be recognized in the flashtool, in the log when i connect my device it says "device connected in flash mode"
help ! i need to flash a kernel
bump i need help
When I connect my LWW in fastboot mode, Flashtool on my home PC recognizes it as connected in flashmode. If I connect it in flashmode, it is recognized as flash mode, as it should, but again, fastboot is also recognized as flashmode. I tried to remove GGSEMC drivers, but no luck - when I connect phone in fastboot mode Windows recognizes it as S1 Boot Fastboot unknown device first, then suddenly it changes to SEMC Flash device and driver for flashmode is auto-installed.
What can I do? please help
try re-installing the sony driver. that should work.
Try reinstalling the drivers or install pc companion/sony update service, they should automatically install the drivers
done that already. but didn't work
Use 2.0USB ports, i was using USB3.0 ports and that was my problem.
1)download and reinstall drivers.
2) In settings->developer options-> enable Android USB debugging
I cant connect my xperia mini to PC in any mode. windows displays 'device not recognized' error. though all my drivers including fastboot and ADB are set up perrfectly. Phone shows green and blue LED when connected in flashmode and fastboot mode but still nor recognized by windows. Device manager shows Error code: 43
please help.
Download flashtool, go to the installation folder -> drivers and install all drivers for all devices/modes. If this won't work install PC Companion or Sony Update Service, they should install the drivers automatically
Will Work!

This method is VALID. Just install drivers from flash tool folder. It'll work! :laugh:
I already mentioned I had all drivers.
Turns out it was a USB cable problem. got a new USB. fixed.
