WotanServer flashing error - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hello
I probably bricked my phone when i was updating my software by SE PC Companion.
It was updating and it suddenly stopped so i plugged out my phone. Now it won't boot, i only feel a vibration and that's all
I tried to unbrick with wotan server but after downloading rom, error appears: error file header write failed.
Here's the log:

I tried to do this but it didn't work. Damn i'm so screwed.
Have you got any other solutions?
And I have a question, if i tried to flash with this FlashTool, did I void the guaranty?
I think I will send it to the service...

Try a full flash with flashtool, first before trying to send back.

I didnt have any problem with wotan client, flashed my neo after i bricked it.
i can maybe help later when i come back...

Ok it will be really cool
But it's my friend's phone, if you have any ideas I will try it until tomorrow, because my friend is quite newbie in that things. I can try to flash with Wotan one more time.

download wotan client 3.5.0 from wotanserver.com, if you havent already done that?? you have to register to download this...
install wotan client and open it, you connect your phone via usb and press the back button at the same time and let wotan client find it...
then just follow instructions and your phone will be as new... hopefully

I've done everything exactly as you wrote but I had this annoying error :/ I will try it one more time tomorrow or tell my friend to do this and I will let you know if it worked.

ok. i had a minor stroke when it happened to my phone and i almost took it to the repair shop...
then this guy helped me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbrCKEkg4OE
because my phone bricked when installing kernel after this video, i had .62 firmware but the video was for .42, i did send him a message and he pointed out wotan server....
did you flash it to .62 firmware??? good luck

My friend just tried to flash with Wotan one more time and phone started and showed a triangle with "!" Now he's trying to flash .42 firmware again.
EDIT: YEAH phone is alive ! Thank you very much for your advance, we are very grateful !

No problem You wont become an expert unless you **** something up

Seus gets stuck on that (and later tells me failed) (See Screenshot)

As I rooted before my warranty is void and as there is no way of getting that fixed I'm screwed and left with dead weight.
Anyone any suggestions?

If the flash tool gets stuck on that file, try another firmware.

If you can manage to get access to another pc, download SEUS or flashtool and try it there.
The only thing I can think of is keep holding down the "back" button untill the whole process is finished.
Ok for some weird reason it works on my lil brothers pc.
I wonder if my USB drivers on my own main pc are ****ed or something.
OMG ITS STARTING :O
I can't believe just using another PC just fixed it. I seriously thought I lost my brand new phone.
And for information, I did use the flashtool as well and that didn't work first. I guess it must be an issue with my pc. Well I won't complain, I managed to get it updated to 2.1 after debranding it (and I was certain I didn't **** that up.)
Thank you so much guys!

It probably has something to do with the installation of java on the faulty pc.
I've noticed it on a friend that had trouble flashing a mini pro with SEUS.

just as a point of interest... the mini pro and X10i I have only flash from the usb port they were originally inserted into... not sure if this is a common issue but if I use any other USB port I get hangs and java problems.
Probably something to do with the way the device ID is recorded i suspect.
One question.. I am using the flashing tool but it seems that i got stuck flashing on amss.sin file... if I disconnect the phone would I kill it? I am saying this because in Motorola phones, if you disconnect the phone in the middle of the flashing process, the phone will be dead... By reading the posts before, it seems that this guy disconnected the phone but nothing happens... but I want to be sure,..

Well Just in case, nothing happened, I did not kill my phone. I flashed it but the whole process was so fast that I thought it was not successful. So, I flashed it again without disconnecting the phone (I was afraid of killing it) and the same thing happened.... after some hour I was brave enough to disconnect it... I turned it on and voila... it was showing the camera and after that I got the version 2.1. I hope this helps someone in the future.

help please ;( i think i bricked my phone

The new flash tool 0.2.5, will flash both 1.6 and 2.1. It works a little different, you will need to read through 1st.
ive tried the new flash tool and the old. neither work. The old one flashes but same problem but new one wont even let me select the firmware to flash so i cant even try it out properly. and sues just lets me exit it doesnt let me repair like usual

1. Try PC companion.
2. Read this guide.
You need to create the ftf file from the sin files, under advanced see bundle creation.
Read the how to.
pc companion wont work as I need to have usb storage but my phone wont even turn on. I have created the ftf files and now flashing, hopefuly it works.
still the same . could it be that the cable got disconnected half way through the process? sorry i forgot to mention this. My brother pulled it out. am i doomed?

No you are not doomed. Calm down
1. Repair using SEUS (even if it says you have the latest software, reinstall it)
2. If that does not work, try PC companion.
3. If that does not work then use the flash tool. You can use the old version if the new one is not working out for you.
Before you do all of the above, take out the battery and wait 10 seconds. Then, reinstall the battery and try the SEUS. Good luck!
the thing is sues wont letme repair it just says exit. Normally you can repair but now it just says exit.

OK. Then try the older version of the flash tool. You can find it here.
Does it also say install? If so, press that button. If that doesn't work install PC Companion and try that method.
thank you very much everyone for the help. Its finally working. I used the flash unbrick and its fixed im so happy i thought that my money went down the drain.

Download Update Service Sony Ericsson program and run it...
99% problem solved !!
please help me

Need more help!!!

Sorry for this title but i need help because my SK17i can't boot.
I had NerodroidV9 and this morning i can't receive sms and i flashed the official firmware by FlashTool.
But when FT is flashing system.sin it get me an error "ERROR:system.sin flash failed"
I had this problem and i resolved this with Wotanclient but now i can't use this because I haven't credits.
I can't buy credits because I have 17 years old and my father can't get me his money
PS: i can go into fastboot mode and flashmode!
Try to flash again, if fails, redownload the .ftf file.
Probably some bug happened during download.
Nothing!
I flashed all the original firmwares but nothing
Any solutions?
Solved!
Solved with PC Companion and the functions "Repair"
I'm really lucky..
You can close this post and thanks thanks thanks

[Q] xperia ray stuck after sony update

Hi, I have a orange network locked xperia ray st18i locked bootloader. I downloaded pc companion and did a software update and all went well. The phone booted up fine after the update until I shut it down and since then I have been unable to get passed the SE screen. It just hangs there. I am able to enter flash mode by pressing the down button and plugging the usb in. Tried phone repair option and still no jog.
Today I tried to unlock the bootloader using the pin touching menthod but that didnt work either. Said something like fatal error....
I need to unlock the bootloader to try a alternative rom to see if that works or revert back to the stock orange rom it came with but im cannot find this anywhere. I am a learner so any advice would be helpful. CAn anyone suggest a rom for the ray that can be installed using flash method WITHOUT unlocked bootloader? I am a **** for doing the uprgrade via sony website but I didnt think this would happen. should have left it as it was.
Thanks for reading.
Take your battery out and try reflashing again using SEUS.
Thread moved to Xperia Ray Q&A.
Yes I have tried that many times already and it finishes the update correctly but still hangs on the SE logo when turned on. I tried again just to see if anything has changed. When I connected the phone whilst pressing the down vol button it recognised it and said your phone already has the latest software but I re installed anyway. No change in result though.
Sony have asked to send the phone to repair and they will reply with a quote for fixing it. Has anyone used this service before and how much can i expect to pay for a software install? Repair office is in Ashford, kent.
thanks
Read my guide and try flashing a stock ftf file, if that fails theres a few other things you could try.

It's not as hard as you may think
Use this to create the ftf, it's step by step. If you can't/don't want to do it I can't help you because I have no orange firmware

thanks for the reply. When I did my upgrade it went through fine so I am assuming I alraedy have the new firmware on my phone. The problem is making it work. Why does my phone just stop and hang on the SE logo? are you telling me my original orange firmware is still in my mobile?

HAD YOU READ THE FIRST PART OF MY GUIDE YOU WOULD ALREADY KNOW. Had you even read the stickys in the General section you would have found one.
Right so I created the .ftf file from the three update files. Ive downloaded x10 flash tool. I connect the phone and flashtools registers that a phone is connected then start the flash but soon after the phone just gets disconnected.
any idea's?

Download the latest flashtool (I guess it's 0.9.x) and install it. Go to the drivers folder and install all the drivers for all the phones and modes. Now you launch flashtool, but don't connect the phone! Click on the flash -> flashmode -> select the ftf and don't exclude anything (you have the ability on the right site).
Now click OK and the screen to connect the phone in flashmode appears. Shut down the phone, wait 20 seconds, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect the phone to PC.
Wait until the flashing process has finished and hope it'll start!

Thanks for guiding me and yes it finally flashed BUT the phone still hangs on the SE logo when booted up. I read somewhere on here another member had the same issue and it turned out to be the bandwidth???
What should I try now?
