[Q] No Bootloader, only CM7 loadscreen & Fastboot - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello,
i know there are some threads that has have the same problem but i am german and its very hard to understand....
So my problem is:
I got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray AV 2.3.4
Today i installed the bootloader with fastboot and i follow this tutorial
Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Ray:_Full_Update_Guide (on cyanogenmod)
its a CM7 Sony Ericsson Ray Tutorial //i can´t post the link here....?!
I used the newest stable mod (update-cm-7.1.0.2-XperiaRay-ST18i-signed.zip).
but after the last step, i reboot my phone and the only that i got is the CM7 loadscreen...
So thats why i try Wipe Dalvik Cache, wipe cache and factory...
Than i reboot again with the same result. Only the CM7 loadscreen.
Than i want to try flash an other ROM but there is no longer a Bootloader on my Phone...? Why?
Fastboot is possible but no data transfer and no debugmode or anything else.

Please use search and questions thread
Restore with seus

YOU need to use the right thread
Download the ftf file for .42 firmware HERE and use flashtool to flash it, plug your phone in with usb to pc while holding down on volume the light should go green and then you can flash the ftf in flash mode
if that fails you need to make sure you have a cm kernel flashed using flashtool

The answers to all your problems are there, all you need to do is look and search. There is no need to panic it can fixed, but first look to fix it yourself and make sure you no what you are doing and how to put it back if it doesnt work, should always read the whole thread of what rom or kernel you are flashing to make sure you understand in first

OK, repair with pccompanion
Not much more advice can be given with scant information like that
do you want to record a video and upload ?
i am uploading a video and the rom that i was using was 2.1 oficial with xrecovery root etc.
My advice remains the same..use pccompanion to repair your phone.
Download it, instal it, run it...it will sort you out.

1. Go google search for "Sony Ericsson Update Service" (SEUS) and install it.
2. Run the program,accept the terms and conditions,and select your device.
3. Now turn off your phone,if you stucked then remove your battery and place it back.
4. Press and hold back key then plug in the USB cable and conect to PC/Laptop.The direction is on the screen.
5. If the program detects your phone,then now wait and allow program to search for update.
6. If it says that your phone have the latest firmware installed, just continue and click Install.
7. Now wait for the program to download the firmware and wait to be installed.
8. After complete of install firmware, The program will ask you to disconnect cable and turn on your phone.
9. First boot may takes longer time and
Done! Your factory state X10.
Go on again to root/unlock and anything. ;D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the program cannot detect your phone,
download the Flashtool from here

and download also the firmware file(in .ftf format)
the flash it with flashtool

6.
I saw your video
First you are holding BACK button & and then your plug in usb, right?
I tried everything with flashtool with adb commands with flash tool and nothing should i open and do something at usb port ?
Can i get the xrecovery back ? for unbrick it with deamon guide ?
when you connected the USB cable did you already have the back button pressed or not? I could not see that from the video...
Run seus or pccompanion...hold the back button and then plug in USB

Run pccompanion.
attach phone to pc in normal mode
click on start in support zone
click on start in next window
Let it check your phone
click on repair
follow the instructions
If it doesnt work on pccomapnaion download seus and try that.
If it still doesnt work, uninstall pccompanion and seus, reboot pc, redownload and install them and try again.
also, you can goto to the driver folder in the flashtool folder and run ggsetup to install drivers on the pc
let me know how that works, because if that doesnt then you have a hardware fault on your phone, not a software problem
do i have a broken usb port ?

HElp Help Help!!!!
Ok. Judging by the fact that you're stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo, I'm assuming you're on the stock kernel and also on locked bootloader. Because you tried to install BlackHD Edition as well, I'm assuming you also have CWM.
The simplest method is if you made a backup in recovery and can access recovery. If you did this, you can simply restore the backup to get the ROM and data you were using before back. If this does not work properly (sometimes backups are screwed up somehow in recoveries), read on for the flashing method.
The X10 showed a green LED when you plugged it in which suggests that it can access flash mode (which is what I'd expect if you didn't tamper with the X10 so much as to break even that). If you have FlashTool, the following series of instructions should work:
1. Download the Xperia X10 stock firmware and move them to the firmware folder of the X10 FlashTool (the firmware can be found in this thread as well as the latest FlashTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746)
2. Open FlashTool and press the flash button at the top left of the program
3. Select the stock firmware from the list and press ok
4. Instructions telling you to turn off and unplug your phone and plug it in with flash mode should pop up (hold back while plugging the cable in). Follow them and wait.
If you did this properly, you should have flashed the stock Sony Ericsson firmware with everything as it was when you bought the phone (if you flashed the 1.6 firmware) or updated the X10 to 2.3.3 (if you flashed the 2.3.3 firmware). That should be the most fail-proof and reliable way (I've saved my X10 from my stupid experiments through this several times already)
Just a little side note: If my assumptions are correct, you tried to flash the BlackHD Edition MIUI-based ROM through CWM on a locked bootloader and stock Sony Ericsson kernel probably without flashing the lockedbl.zip that's provided in the BlackHD Edition thread. Most FXP custom kernels work with that ROM without a problem, but the stock one just doesn't because it's far too different. You could have either chosen the locked or unlocked installation method on the thread (I know because I've done it before). The unlocked one requires an unlocked bootloader and a FXP custom kernel, neither of which I think you have. The locked method only requires CWM installation and for you to flash the lockedbl.zip after installation. I think your issue must have come from the fact that you forgot that last part, or some other strange error occured.

yours assumptions are correct.
About instructions to how to connect to flashtool, i know they. i click on flash button, select firmware and when pop up to plug-in, i do it...but don't work...don't connect...
As in, it doesn't recognise the device?
I think there's another way where you take the battery out and plug the phone into the computer. The green LED should light up for about 5-10 seconds (when it's in flash mode) where you have a window to select the firmware and flash. I haven't personally tried it, but I'm asking someone who has done it about how it's done. You might want to try that method as you can't really do much else with your phone right now. I'll update this post once I know the exact method and details

Once flashtool asks you to connect USB cable..connect the phone with the battery removed. THEN replace the battery while holding the power button and it should start up into flashmode.
It may even work without holding the power button...
Its strange because when stuck at SE logo you can't follow the on screen directions to get it to work

If your bootloader is locked, you can choose the option to repair phone in pc comp. Another possibility why your phone is not detected might be because of drivers.
It may also because of his usb not working , the problem might have started . I want to check out whether your phone is charging and i also want to know that in devicemanager your phone when connected in flash mode shows as "semc usb device "
Thanks

[Q] Brick LWW (wt19) HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi, first of all, sorry about my english. I think it's terrible.
I have a SE WT19 stuck on FXP bootloop.
I had installed a custom kernel, but i guess i did something wrong.
At first, my cellphone is on bootloop (in some custom ROMs) or just on black screen.
So, i tried to flash a new kernel with flashtool, or a stock Rom with PCCompanion, but my device is not recognized by Windows 7.
Also is not recognized by Linux, or Mac.
The kernel that bricked my LWW was wt19i-live-rage2.7-kernel-for-fxp-cm7.
There is something possible to bring it alive again?
Ever uninstall and install all drivers and tried in another pc, aways shows the same message.
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer is not working properly, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." :crying: :crying:

My phone was rooted and unlooked bootloader. I tried ALL CM7/9/10 roms posted in the xda development forum. I have the latest flashtool installed, also the latest drivers. When I connect my phone in fastboot or in flash mode, nothing happens,, cause my pc (and flashtool) do not recognize the device.
Okay but what happens when u connect ur phone to pc while pressing vol up button(without running flashtool)?does the blue led show & pc doesn't recognize it?if yes then go to device manager on my computer & see whats the problem with ur device,try installing it from there.Another question,can u get into CWM?

Nice then ur phone is perfectly okay :good:
just try another pc
or
unistall all related to ur device(flashtool,drivers,android sdk,pc companion,google usb) & reinstall.If that even don't work I suggest u to do a fresh install of windows.
See if it's a problem with the USB port. Are other devices connected to that port recognized? Some of the USB ports in the old PC at my home keep showing that message whatever I connect to it

The phone doesn't seem to be bricked. Try using Flashtool on another computer. Make sure you do have those fastboot drivers(when you first connect your phone to Flashtool in fastboot mode, Flashtool gives you a notification that drivers need to be installed for the device. I confirm that the ones provided in C:\Flashtool\drivers work for LWW )
(Always make sure the kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash)
Start with the stock kernel(the one provided inside the CM7/CM9 zip - boot.img). Then flash the relevant ROM and see what happens. Once that works fine, start tinkering with various kernels out there.
Don't worry, it's just a soft brick
I haven't bricked my WT19 yet but I did soft brick my former X8 and Someone else's Galaxy something...
What I can advise you do is flash the whole stock .ftf ROM from Sony, just search for the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, flash it and start from scratch.
About your pc not recognizing your phone: how then did you flash the kernel?? Do have the Sony PC Companion installed on your machine? I have it just for the driveers, I know Flashtool comes with them but I rather have the offiicial somethimes... I think MediaGo also comes with them.
Anyhow, I hope you can get your phone working. Let us know how it went

Hi guys,
All tests done.
Other pc, or OS, do not recognize my device.
Tried another notebook, tried another windows version, another Linux and MacOS, nothing works!!
So, this process of kernel change could cause some hardware damage?
I really can't change the kernel in cwm recovery?
Just to recall, I can change the battery, got the phone in fasboot/flash mode, got CWM working, install new ROM but, or finish with bootloop or with black screen.

[Q] android console

Hi guys,
I'm not an Android expert, but AFAIK is a Linux system.
I'm quite familiar with Unix/Linux world and wondering if there's a way to see the messages during boot just like on a console?
I'm asking, beacause my ray hangs at sony-ericsson logo, and can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Thank you!
to solve problem .. flash your stock .ftf again with flashtool
Well u can use adb for that...use adb logcat...search in xda if u don't know how to use adb...it will give u a complete log as u need

tried to flash stock gb .42 ftf, but still the same, and cwm is gone now, since custom kernel was overwritten by stock one.

tried to flash stock gb .42 ftf, but still the same, and cwm is gone now, since custom kernel was overwritten by stock one.

i think usb debug will not work anyway if ur phone powered off
try to flash custom kernel again , then u will have CWM , then remove your SD Card and put it in reader , then put any ROM in it , then put it again in ur phone , then flash it with CWM , i made that before with CM ROM & it worked :good:
I tried to flash cutom rom with cwm before flashing stock, but didn't work .
The phone is not powered off when flashing, it's either in fastboot or in flash mode.

Do you know why it's not booting? Did you flash a new rom, did you install a special app, did you do an update over the air (using WiFi)? Or any other idea?

I flashed a custom rom.
Actually, i was on ICS, and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
Flashed the v10, everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash some times the rom without issues, but the last was unlucky .
By that time, my BL was locked, so I had to root my phone to install cwm.
Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with doomlord, script, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
basically these were the steps I was doing, and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony logo.
I then tried different kind of stock firmwars ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flash a version of the illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the sam. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same.
now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
That's the story .
As i remember i can enable usb debug even phone not boot to system. By charging phone with pc(not standard charger) then hold power button and at windows(or else) will ask for driver
Ps. I did that with X8, didn't know with 2011's phone.

Hmm okay you could try to flash the unbricking ftf (you can find it in someguyfromhell's sticked thread) and afterwards stock gingerbread or ics again, but I don't know if that could work or maybe make it even worse (normally it's to unbrick if you did an ota update on unlocked bootloader, but let's see). Maybe it's worth a try
The problem about cwm that's gone: if you are still able to boot into fastboot mode, you can flash another kernel and for example try to install cyanogenmod or any other rom. Just try cm10 or cm10.1. Maybe in the end a rom will boot

tried, and still the same.
The only reason I can think of is that I may forgot once to enable usb debugging, and used flashtool with usb debugging off. could that lead to this kind of issues?
How could I enable usb debugging, without being able to start the phone OS?
tried eswawan's advise, but didn't work.
PS. when I connect the phone in flash mode, flashtool says phone connected with USB debugging off.
Is you connect phone(off) to pc then it goes to offline charging mode???

No, USB debugging off shouldn't lead to such a problem
Try to reinstall all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool-> drivers. Then you turn the phone off, take off battery, wait 15 seconds, reinsert battery, hold volume up and while holding volume up just connect the phone via usb to your pc. The blue notification led should light up now and then you should be able to flash another kernel. Try it again

during my unbrick journey, I did reinstall my windows, and drivers, and didn't help, so I don't think it would make any sense to try once again ...

With the procedure I posted above it shouldn't simply boot to offline charging mode, so maybe it is a driver problem. Try it step by step like posted above, maybe it could work. If not it was worth a try
Sent from my SK17i running stock ics (.587)
what does it mean if it goes to offline charging mode, also what does it mean if it doesn't go?
PS. not sure if it's right, but when I connect the phone to pc, connects in flash mode, even if I don't hold vol down, the notification led is solid green, then the led turns off, Sony Ericsson appears, then the battery with the power sign and finally notification led turns orange. when I short press power button now, the battery with power sign shows up on screen.

Normally while having phone switched off and just holding volume up and connecting to pc the blue led should light up and you are in fastboot mode. If it goes directly into offline charging mode are the wrong drivers installed or you do something wrong or phone is hardbricked...

Umm...as much as I cud understand....u have used sus before flashtool with unlocked bootloader which MIGHT cause the problem...Try these steps(@mihahn though mentioned earlier) -
1. Uninstall flashtool and delete everything related to it.
2. Now reinstall it to your c: drive.
3. Go to C:/Flashtool/Drivers and install flashtool-drivers.exe with all the drivers.
4. Now download this http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1 and keep it in C:/Flashtool/firmwares(delete everything present in it already)
5. Now start flashtool.
6. Remove battery from your phone and keep the battery out for 15 sec.
7. Reinsert the battery hold down vol-down button and connect your phone to usb cable connected to pc.
8. Now click on the flash icon and select flashmode and flash the files.
9. Now download this - http://www.mediafire.com/?2j7i7rruqxnui3q
10. Now keep it in firmware folder. REMEMBER to delete any previous files prent in the folder.
11. Now go to flashmode in the same manner and flash it.
12. Now boot your phone, it must start
Cheers,
AJ

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough. I thought I should be connecting the phone without holding any of the volume buttons, just to try if it's charging in offline mode. Here's the exact status.
1. If I do not hold any volume buttons, the phone goes into flash mode ( solid green led ), and after a short while ( 20-30 sec ) led turns off, Sony Ericsson logo shows up, then goes away and battery with power sign is displayed when I short press the power button
2. if I hold vol down, phone behaves the same way as at 1.
3. if I hold vol up, phone goes in fastboot mode ( solid blue led ) and stay solid blue, it is not going into charging mode.

I may not be clear enough here either. I didn't use sus after unlocking BL, I know it bricks he phone, anyway, I did flash the unbrick ftf mentioned by mihahn. here are the steps I did so far :
1. I was on ICS ( Iced Bean 3.4 ) , with BL lockedand phone rooted and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
2. I flashed the rom with cwm, and everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash the rom several times, without issues, but the last was unlucky .
3. Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the rooting process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with flashtool, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
4. and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony ericsson logo.
5. I then tried different kind of stock firmwares ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
6. afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flashed a version of the above mentioned GB illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the same.
7. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same, now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
8. tried to flash someguyfromhell's unbrick ftf, which is for the FOTA brick whith BL unlocked, as I understood.
9. reflashed stock GB .42 with flashtool, but phone still hangs at sony Ericsson logo.
In this status, could I connect to the phone using adb, so I could do a adb logcat ?
If so, please advise how.
Thanks.
@nroberto13 Do you mind telling us which ftfs u flashed?

AJ

IF your phone doesn't boot you'll need to use USB cable and flashtool or fastboot to recover, but since your usb port is broken i guess there's nothing you can do sorry
I would send the phone to sony service to get the usb port fixed...
Edit: one more thing, candy rom is not stock based and requires an unlocked bootloader, if you didn't unlock your BL before flashing that's why you bricked.... but you could still recover if your phone usb port worked.

Flashing any stock rom should fix your kernel problem now either flash a .ftf with flashtool, or try recovering your phone in sony pc companion.
I prefer flashtool for flashing as i never had problems with it and it's easy to set-up and work.
If you don't know how to use flashtool take a look at this: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/06/01/debrand-your-xperia-z2-tutorial/

Humm weird, try flashtool once again, maybe with another .ftf or another pc, select all wipes, choose flashmode, make sure your phone is completely powered-off, when flashtool asks to connect just keep pressing volume down and plug the usb cable. flashing should start fine now.

Nope after 1 minute flash mode turns off automatically soo now here is what I did
Step 1 downloaded sony c s
Step 2 installed supprot
Step3 press update device without contcing to pc
Step 4 chose repair
Step 5 go with it and put it in flash mode
Step 6 before it finishs it will take a long time
Then it will only charge you can't press the power button for some reason
Step 7 go to flash tool start flash mode and it will reboot automatically
Step8 you will be in safe mode go to settings and format the phone
Step 9 it will reboot and into normal mode
Step 10 root through king root and termanil to make it a real root not temporarliy
Step 11 enable usb debugging and install recovery
Step 12 copy the rom from pc to recovery
Step 13 installed the rom everything is amazing except for one problem
I still can't press the power button I don't think it's hardware help me
That's it thanks for everything tell me if you know anything about the power button
@Sal7_one Wow that was way more complicated than it should but i'm glad your phone is working again :good:
Did you open your phone to fix the usb port? or did you send it somewhere? unfortunately the power button situation does seem like hardware problem...
