http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291512
now, when i try to turn my phone on, the green light is just blinking. (going on an out)
please help me
Seems like you know flashtool procedure; download and flash all kernels on this site until you boot to recovery mode at least. If you manage to boot recovery you will most likely be able to install new rom(s). Try older kernels first cause i tried them all and none is bugged.
Why do people dont RTFM?
Its written in big letters on the Unlock Bootloader site of Sony Ericsson that you should NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES... :s
i am very sorry, but i first did the unlock via fastgsm, then i updatet via OTA and just than i read that this wasnt a good idea

how will i find out, that i am in the boot recovery mode?
I meant on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1242 there are dozen of wt19i roms/kernels already. What you need for a start is a kernel with a recovery menu you can boot to, like this http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/tumblr_l7wod1Dpi81qdw5hpo1_400.png?139d23
Try older kernels first. When you flash it, you may and may not, get a confirmation from a flashtool. Anyway, try to boot it in recovery mode as developer intended, pressing power when SE logo lights up, pressing VOL_UP after power on etc.
Easy start:

thx!
i will give them a try... i download a ftf-file (this is including the kernel, isnt it?) and flash it with the flash tool on Flashmode...
i think in the beginning i installed a wrong ftf-file. its called Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf i hope that isnt a problem... this is including the files loader.sin and preset.ta loader.sin should not be a problem because the other ftf-files i downloaded also includes this file... but i dont now whats up with the preset.ta file. think this is gona stay in my ROM
i tried a view ftf files until now... but nothing did happen. when i press the power on button on the phone there is just a green led going on for about 1 second. that was it... the display stays black...
i just can get a green light. VOL_UP after or while power on doesn´t work and i wont geht a blue light or something like that.
so... no i am going to try some other ftf files and hope that it will work anytime.
just tried SEUS... did not work. damn
nothing worked...
SEUS
many ftf-files with flash tool
WotanClient with newest and oldest rom
don´t know what else i can do?!
can someone help me please?
when i press the power on button, the green LED is just blinking all the time.

but still the same problem... green light is blinking when power on
is it possible that my bootloader is corupt?
No wonder you bricked walkman, you're not reading anything. What can you possibly do with SEUS now?! Try to flash with flashtool some kernels, you cant break anythinng with that and read thread jaxzkeren gave you.
but if i want to flash some kernels i need to fastboot mode... or not?
as i tried to go into fastboot-mode (power on and volume up) there is nothing happend... no blue led light or anything like that...
i tried to flash all the ftf files you showed me with the flashtool on flashmode.
ok, did something similar recently, I fixed mine by flashing this ftf via flashtool, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343529
please let me know if this works
thank you all for your help!
unfortainly i already tried to flash these ftf... flashing worked fine. but it didnt fix my problem...
Same problem here.. plz help
Edit: dude, I have good news and bad news: the good one, is that your phone can be unbricked by simple doing "RESTORE" with s1tool.. the bad one: your phone need to be unlocked again.. 14.99€ to the garbage :/
this is how i fixed a ray with a similar issue..
the phone was unlocked and debranded using the wotanserver..
my mate accepted the ota update and all he could get was the green light..
1) get the wotanserver.com flashing client its free, create username and password then use it.. (or use s1tool)
2) flash the closest firmware to your original
3) on the s1tool do the restore option (cant remember if u need testpoint)
His phone came on and he is happy again...
hope this helps..

Hi!
I hava X10a (xPeria X10 Mini) phone with 2.0.A.0.504 firmware. Rooted.
I have enabled Unknown Sources and USB Debugging
I have SEUS installer
I have disabled UAC in Windows (Windows 7 x64)
I have enabled root permissiont through Superuser for Flashtool
Despite all that, when I try to flash the X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf firmware with Flashtool, I follow the instructions loading the firmware and putting the phone in flash mode, but Flashtool fails. I can boot back the phone and use it as normal. No brick, no black screen.
I searched the forums, but found no one with a similar problem...
Here's the log.

Sounds like a corrupt .ftf file.
Download it and try flashing again (from same source) . If that also fails try a different source.
If that fails try a different flash tool version.
Hope this works

I already verified the MD5 checksum, and its the same on than the official Flashtool
thread download link.
I also tried Flashtool v 0.2.9.1 and 0.2.8.0 with the same results
Is there any other Flashtool I can try?
Try it again this time hold the back button down until you see flashtool has sent the loader

Well I had the same problem and I had to use a different firmware to flash with flashtool. I think the ftf file he used is corrupted if that is possible.

Not sure, above he says he checked the MD5 checksum. I suppose he'll have to try a different firmware altogether.

i'm having the same problem now on my so-01b xperia docomo. i have flashed my with a stock x10 generic ftf, it was a successful flash but after a while it just suddenly lost power. when i try to boot it, it just vibrate and nothing!!!! now i have tested so many roms, but just showing "error flashing aborted" man pls somebody help us... i have done some searching and most of them tells me its cpu flash ic problem!!!
there could be 3 possible reasons
1) backbutton not kept pressed enough
quick check : when it says abort do you still see green light near the usb, if yes they you are still in flash mode, if no then key was not pressed on time.
2) FTF could be corrupted : md5sum should do the job here.
3) USB drivers might have gone heywire, suggest reinstalling drivers.
Drivers are inside driver folder in flashtool folder.
hope this helps
hi.
I have the same problem ,yes the green light stays on I have waited like 10 minutes it wouldnt turned off .
I re installed the drivers too,I installed (Golden Gate) too but didnt help .
downloaded and installed another firmware but didnt help .
Plz someone help
Same problem here. I've tried several different firmware, tried several ways to plug phone in, nothing will allow it to finish the flash. One time it actually got closed to finishing the system.bin but then gave the error, so it doesn't always stop at the same time.
Hey guys I am thinking you are talking about what I went through and the fix for my experience was....goto device and printer and click on "A6SOPEME IDE Controller" or semc boot/usb whatever....any ways it was shown in Device and Printers with a little yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in it after a flash. Just uninstall after your flash and then try again.

This is about the fifth person I've seen with the problem also, has me wondering the same, although my suggestion helped one or two of them, others seem to be running into an error still.
hey guys !
guess what I turned my phone on ,as I have found a solution for it I thought it wouldnt be fair to not share it with you guys.
I tried everything just name it ...I dont know where the real problem was but solution is keep pressing the the BACK button (the arrow points to the left) and press power button at the same time . phone will turn on .
there is no problem with your computer or anything its phone itself.
but now I got another problem phone reads the simcard but doesnt receive or send any call says Emergency calls only ...or when u dial a number it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA...anybody can help me with this?

USB is a problem. use the USB ports on the motherboard. No front ports. No splitters.
Cannot go into fastboot mode either (USB + Menu button) but at least Flashtool is able to reboot it into fastboot...
...is there any similar trick to reboot into flashmode? Flashtool only tells me to do the manual stuff for flashmode.
Or, alternatively, is there any way to perform a ROM update - I'm fine with the latest SE stock ROM, I just need that fixed auto-leveling audio feature I had in my Arc since last Summer -, maybe through some fastboot injection + multiple other steps?
It's running GB 2.3.2 aka 3.0.A.2.181 and I need 2.3.4 aka 4.0.A.2.0.XX; I have root but that's it, when I tried installing CWM it did install but does not work, phone freezes at bootup when I keep pushing Volume Down at the first logo to invoke CWM.
PC Companion also 2.0 craps out when I try to run the update, telling me to take it to a SEMC place...
Thanks in advance
Having the same problem.. cant go into flashmode USB + back
What do you mean by you cant go? what happens when you try to go into that mode?
If you get blue LED on that means you are in that mode.

I meant what I said: it does NOT go into flash mode. You can try 100x it will only turn on charging, that's all.
And yes, having owned X10 and Arc previously I've done this before multiple times so I know how it goes normally... not on this Neo though, that's for sure.
So the question is: is there any way to perform an update via fastboot...?

For the love of God, Asians: PLEASE STOP ****IN' PLUGGING THIS **** IN EVERY OTHER POST.
Is it locked to a specific network? My understanding is that it'll have fastboot locked and you won't be able to get into flash mode. Mine's a Neo V, though, so the Neo may be different.
If it's the same as the Neo V then you have to unlock fastboot as well as the bootloader.
If you go to the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get into the service menu, I think one of the options tells you about simlocks. Sorry I can't be clearer, my phone won't go to that menu, presumably because I've got CM7 on there now.
Apologies if the Neo doesn't work the same way.
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
I've just found a similar post, which seems to have ended with the same conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305966
To unlock fastboot, I paid someone else to do it with their credits for setool.
Of course, having a locked fastboot shouldn't stop you from upgrading but I'd guess it'd have to be to a specific version that your supplier has modified.
Maybe it sees the CWM install and views it as non-standard. It might be worth flashing a stock recovery and trying again.
I realise that Flashtool was able to put the phone into fastboot mode. I imagine this "locked fastboot" terminology doesn't quite cover what it really means.
You can use flash mode, back button, greenlight with a locked phone ( sim and bootloader). Fastboot menu key, blue light needs unlocked phone ( sim)

I'm sorry, but this is another problem.What do you mean with "Hard restart" I restarted the phone already but always stuck in Sony logo and I installed all drivers before. Before this happened everything worked with the Flashtool and the Firmwares/Kernels I downloaded.

Custom kernels are only for unlocked bootloader. I though you were on unlocked bootloader buddy.
Also, when you try to install a firmware via flashtool uncheck the option "final verification".

This can be because sometimes flashtool asks me to install drivers and when I'm installing them then there is the error. I Can't enter fastboot because I ha ve a locked BL.
In your pc go to c/flashtool/drivers n install that exe.. And if you're mobile just stays on sony logo then let it stay there for sometime.. May be some error with TA partition

It doesn't matter which ftf I'm flashing. I always get this error, but I'll try.
EDIT: Same Error....

D/L flashtool and D/L MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf. put that tft into >>C:\Flashtool\firmwares<< Then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon, Mode Selector pops up choose fflashmode, then chose the MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf. Switch off the phone,press the volume down button,keep it pressed and connect the usb cable.:cyclops:
if u get that error again make sure that your bootloader is unlocked if not then i suggest that you unlock it.

Read the whole thread, and you'll see I still get the message.
If there isn't an other way to solve it, then I'll have to unlock it but is it possible when I can't use my phone?

Yes it is possible without having to start up your phone, and yes i read thread but take note on what i was refering to in detail i said MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL and not {{MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_Global}}}. Either way just unlock your bootloader seeing as how u cant turn it on to get the imei their is another way with flashtool.
1) download and install latest Flashtool (Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0)
2) Start Flashtool and click on BLU button on the top its right next to the lightning rod
3) turn off your phone (Hold power button and volume up make sure it vibrates twice), connect phone to PC in flashmode(hold down volume down while connecting it to pc)
4) click on get unlock key button, it will switch you to Sony Mobile website, here complete all boxes
5) copy IMEI form Flashtool to Sony Mobile site, than you will get unlock code to your mailbox
6) copy unlock key to Flashtool window and than click unlock
7) connect phone in fastbootmode ( holding volume up while connecting it to pc)
8) wait to unlock finish.
you should now have unlocked bootloader. Then retry flashing the .54 i also say just flash .54_KERNEL and NOT .54_Global.

Can I relock my phone and is the guarantee away?
what should i do unlocking the bootloader or sending the phone back to the shop? Would they take it ?
OK, I have a XTZ WiFi only (SGP311) which ran on stock with the latest official OTA (4.2.2 I think it was?)
Basically, the thing is completely unmodified with the exception of using permanent root through vroom utility. No custom recovery, nothing. (I am not sure if rooting via vroom also unloks the bootloader) Now yesterday, I restored some apps/data through Titaniumbackup and when rebooting the device after that things went sideways.
When turning on I just get up to the colormorphing ribbon animation which halts after a few seconds and then cycles the tablet into another reboot. I have searched up and down, figuring I'd just hardware reset the thing but there really is no physical reset buton, eh?
How do I get my Tablet reset back to factory? Isn't there some kind of Sony bootloader (like HBOOT on HTC) which one could use to reset it?
I seem to be able to get it into fastboot mode, at least I get a reply for the command "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" (which is 0.5). How could I wipe/factory reset from here? Or can I just flash a recovery, even if unsure if bootloader is locked/unlocked? Or would I rather flash a FTF from here? Whats my best course of action?
Any input greatly appreciated

dont worry, had bricked mines too, followed the following steps and got it back woking ........
1.get a stock firmware (As an FTF file), and get sonyericsson Flashtool.
2.Turn off the device (hold volume up, and power, for about ten seconds, until you see the LED flash three times). The device is now off. Hold down the "volume down" button, and plug in the USB connection to your computer. The LED should turn green, and the S1boot device should appear.
3.You can now flash the device back to Sony stock using the flashtool
4. pick the firmware you downloaded (FTF FILE)....... and flash it ..... ALL DONE !!!
please let us know if you fixed it .....
OK, thanks I will try that. I have looked into that but as of now I could not find a localized version. Mine is from Germany, and all I find is Japan and US versions, so is there no European / Euro/MiddleEast (EMEA) version at all? Can I just use the most recent Japanese one and it will have all languages available?
I will check out the flashtool now, maybe I can just issue a data/cache wipe and start fresh with the already existing firmware? That would be a good feature, skipping potential problems by using the wrong / incompatible FTF I guess.
Thanks so far.
no problem at all ....

the best solution i would recommend you right now would be the following:-
1. download and install the official sony flash tool known as EMMA , link is :
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
2. after installing it, follow the instructions to flash the FTF file
(it will download and flash the GLOBAL UNBRANDED firmware, which will contain all various languages)
3.after installing it, your tablet will be running stock 4.2.2 ....... no wories at all
always keep in mind that it is really hard to brick a sony device, it is always recoverable !!!

also before you do that, take a look at this link, i found the german FTF file for you :laugh:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402863
Oh wow, you are great, thanks for the effort on your side. Unfortunately when I was fiddling with the tablet XDA took its server switch downtime and I missed the post until now.
However, fortunately I was not even forced to go the whole nine yards. After realizing that I would not quite get anywhere until I took the plunge and officially unlocked my bootloader. Once I had that done I was immediately able to issue a cache/data partition wipe command via fastboot command line. At that point I just had a brandnew out of the box state and restored my stuff from there without fiddling with FTF etc at all.
Thanks for your great help anyway. May I just bother you with one more question? Now that the glove dropped and the bootloader is open I might as well go for a decent recovery. However I am at a total loss when chosing one. There is CWM and TWRP, one is said to be buggy (no recovery throuch volume key power on) sometimes it says its for sgp321 and not the WiFI only, then someone claims the opposite.
Could you please point me to any of those recoverys, fully functional on a SGP311 and conveniently flashable via adb/fastboot? I am not familiar with flashtool and would hate to screw things up with a wrong click. The sdk command line tools I have more familiarity with... Also, its just about recovery for nandroid with me, no desire to run a custom ROM or CM 10/11 or something.
Thamks a lot and have a good one!

Hello Doomlord,
i hope you can help me out. i have tried to use your method "flash old kernel, to root 2.67".
the log of flashtool shows me that the tablet can't reboot, because it still in "flashmode".
in the log you can see i tried again the new kernel with the hope that everything will go right - but without luck.

i have disconnected the tablet from the windows pc and tried to reboot many many times, but nothing happens. screen stays black.
i hope you can help me out with some hints. rooting is no longer my goal - at the moment. it would be great to have my device alive.
thank you very much doomlord.

Bricked device
Hi, I am in a similar situation. I have an XTZ SGP311 which is completely stock apart from rooted with the vroot tool. I stupidly tried to change fonts with a font installer from the Play store, and when I rebooted the tablet it cycles between the Sony and Xperia screens. I am trying to unlock the bootloader to restore with EMMA. The EMMA tool recognises the tablet when I connect it in Fastboot mode. But when I try the fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version command I just get <waiting for device>
Can anyone give any advice on what I can try next to unbrick my XTZ?

Hold VOL+Power for 10 sec to switch it off. Then reflash with Flashtool 0.9.18.6 or restore with xperia-companion.
I tried this version of Flashtool and also the newer one, with no success.
I'm trying now a downgrade for 10.6.A.0.454 to see if works. Like it's a softbrick, I can get in the flashmode, turn off and even the Sony Companion does execute the repair update for the latest but when I turn on, it shows the Sony Xperia screen then black screen and hangs like that forever.
All of this with 100% battery full.
Now I'm willing to sacrifice a goat or a bigger animal to achieve success

My Ray has a weird Brick like condition..
I can access CWM, got ot Flash and Fastboot mode, install zip ROMs and FTF ROMS, but all I get is the SE logo - never beyond that.
The PC Companion does not recognize the phone.. where it should show the cennected Device's model number, it shows "(null)"
It All started when I installed installed a new Kernel (was on Fusion for over a Year, but My Battery drained fast when I tried KitKat (Beanstalk) so I thought maybe changing Kernel would help. At first I lost ToutchScreen (even in CWM)
Than I tried several other ROM's and Kernels.. still no touchscreen.. until This happened.
I have tried: relocking BL, UnRooting, installing several Kernels and ROMS - custom and stock (GB, ICS, JB)
PC Companion has told me 2 things: I have custom software and there is no software available for My phone
Also tried with Emma - it did its thing, but as You guessed - Nothing.
Xperia Update Service tells Me the same as PC Companion: nothing to update - already latest version (even with GB)
Also I have read through countles post's and tutorials how to UnBrick.. so far nothing helped. Did not really find a similar case
Currently it is UnRooted and Bootloader is ReLocked.

One more thing.. it is not charging.. It has been on the cable for the better part of a day,
but the Battery voltage is ~3,75V (about 5-10%)
Update: When I insert the USB Cable, it goes to Flash mode (without holding any buttons) and in 40 seconds Flashtool says Disconnected and the charging picture appears for a few seconds, and than starts charging.
Any Ideas ?!
Did you relock your bootloader with setool? I revived my totally dead phone (it wouldn't even power up, only green led blinks), I killed phone with OTA update on unlocked bootloader.

ReLocking did not cause the problem. I relocked it to restore phone with PC Companion (which did not work)

Did you try first to flash stock kernel or stock firmware then to relock bootloader?
Yes, after the crash, I flashed both Custom and Stock ROM's and Kernels.
Than restored Root and BootLoader and flashed ROM's and Kernels again.
the kernel seems to be working, otherwise it would not charge.
and the system should be on there, because the PC Companion tells Me I have the latest software installed.

Unlock bootloader flash this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46895025&postcount=40.
Also, if this didn't helped try fastboot clear commands (system, data... search in xda forums for this) then flash custom kernel.
I just recently ReLocked the bootloader. It was unlocked over a year before this happened..
I have cleared pretty much everything in CWM and Flashtool
I have tried GB, ICS and JB stock firmwares
So, as You can read from above, I have already tried what You suggested

I am saying that your problem is in kernel. How on earth you flash kernel when your bootloader is locked?
You didn't try any of my suggestions - except you flashed firmware probably with locked bootloader.
btw your "above" post is changed
stock FTF firmwares should have Kernels with them..
at least the Kernel image (when starting the phone) changes each time I flash a new ROM
Emma says that the Phone is locked
But now, when I tried to flash the one You suggested, the Flashtool gives an Error while starting the flash.
So I'll unlock BL and try again...
After Unlocking the BL Still the same: Error flashing. Aborted
Same with other ftf files...
edit: cant flash anything in Flashmode.. always an error.
fastboot mode works well.. installed few Kernels - no change, installed few Custom ROM's in CWM - again nothing.
edit2: btw.. all of the kernels which support touchscreen, mine does not work (CTCaer Kernel looks awesome.. too bad its touch Only - so i cant use the CWM part at all)
Emma also show's I have a correct ROM on it

So...
Kernel should be OK (currently on Fusion.. again)
ROM looks OK
theoretically all should work ?
What could cause this... Hardware ?
The phone will automatically go to charging process if you are not doing anything on your phone while it's in Flashmode.

Try this
1. Install all necessary drivers like flashmode and fastboot drivers.
2. Re-download the FTF for your phone and make sure that the FTF that you download is for Xperia Ray. Maybe there is a problem with the file.
2. Exit PC Companion or Sony Update Service (don't let it run in the background because it will interfere with the Flashtool and make sure there is no logo of them on the bottom-right corner where you can see your PC time.) Unlock the bootloader of your phone. Flashtool can do the unlocking. Just search for the tutorial here on XDA.
3. Go to Flashtool and click the "thunder logo" for flashing FTFs and kernels.
4. Select Flashmode and select the FTF that you have re-downloaded.
5. Flashtool will load the FTF for flashing. A window pop-up will appear after the FTF is fully loaded and ready to be flash.
6. This is the time where you are going to connect the phone into the PC and make your phone go to Flash mode where the LED light becomes green.
7. When the PC successfully installed the drivers and the Flashtool detected your phone then the flashing of the FTF will automatically start.
8. Wait for the flashing to be finished. When the flashing finished, unplug the phone from the PC and USB cable and turn on your phone.
9. When the phone turned on and the software is fully loaded then relock the bootloader of your phone.
10. If you want, reinstall the firmware with PC Companion or Sony Update Service.

why you want to relock bootloader? try dont relock bootloader...
1. unlock the bootloader
2. flash stock rom ftf
3. flash kernel ics based stock (dont turn on the phone after flash from stock rom ftf)
4. install the rom ics based.
5. turn on your phone..
if everythings is okay maybe you can relock the bootloader...
I relocked the Bootloader to use PC Companion (it wont touch a phone with Locked BL)
I unlocked it again, flashed stock ftf and kernel (tried several stock ftf's - GB, ICS, JB)
still the same: turn on - stuck on "Sony Ericsson" logo
is there anything I can do in ADB.. through Console ?!

can you enter into CWM? if you can enter into CWM.. juz check the soft key.. if not work.. so your screen need to be replace..
No, the soft key's are not working.
Broken Digitizer should not affect phones software functions.. or does it ?!
After I lost touchscreen, I installed 2-3 new ROMS's that booted up, but still no Touch.
and Than this happened - Stuck on kernel load image.
Before I buy another Digitizer I want to make sure, the phone is working...
I Just replaced it about a month ago...
Also tried the WotanServer - software crashes as soon as I plug in the phone

I'll try that when I get home.. Thank You.. I really appreciate the effort
edit: unfortunately I could'nt do it.. There's no Rage Kernel for Xperia Ray.. I tried the other phone kernels just in case, but no help.
So... still at the same situation
