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?

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

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 :/

Let it charge for a few hours and after that try to turn it on. if you feel the vibration maybe you´re able to start all over again...flash a stock rom.
if you can´t feel any vibration, well...you may start to think buy a new phone and a laptop
i charged it for 5 hours but i cant feel a thing
i bought a new x10 and i put a fullycharged battery in it but nothing
i think i have a expensive dummy phone
maybe if somebody know if car restore it trough adb or something
Try to use sony's pc companion....
when you connect your phone to laptop it won't see it.
click on the left icon in pcc.. a window will open,.. on my laptop there is a link to REPAIR PHONE....
if you click on it... it will say what to do..
You will have the stock rom on your x10!!
it worked for me.... only thing is... it's stock again.. (so unrooted)

Sir you hard bricked your phone. and the only thing you can do to this is to "JTAG" it.
Hi
To start with, I'm a complete noob so sorry about that.
I got an x10 mini pro last year for my birthday. I don't remember the android version it came with but somewhere during the beginning of this year, I updated my phone to android 2.3.4 running on firmware was .62
Anyway, the phone comes with pre installed bloatware and the new update stuff like the 3d camera (which I never use and don't want)
So, I set about the scary task of rooting my phone. I tried z4root and superoneclick. They didn't work so I used Flash Tool 0.7.1.0.
I did a lot of reading and spend a lot of time going through tutorials before starting.
First, I flashed .42 firmware on the phone.
The log said that it was flashed successfully. I tried rebooting the phone but it gets stuck. The screen shows "Sony Ericsson" (the text) and it dissolves into blue color. Then it loops again. So I guess it's bricked?
PC companion doesn't read the phone so I can't use that.
I tried using SE update but it gives me an error message (I'm on Windows 8 so it could be the Java)
Flash Tool doesn't recognize the phone anyway.
I can't enter flashmode or fastboot mode.
Half of me wants to throw this phone against the wall but the other half of me just wants to fix this.
HELP?????
Edit: OK, now it won't even go to the boot screen. Its completely dead. When I press the power button, it vibrates but the screen is black. No LED light either.
Well i had bricked my phone too.
It was sawing sony and sony again and again.
It wasnt recognized by seus or PCC either but flashtool could detect it at least.
And Just a question your phone stopped working out of nowhere? i mean not even the led would light?
You did something. didnt you?
edit:
After i research i found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
Let me remind you a thing.
You have to keep holding back and then connect your phone with the PC.
EDIT AGAIN:
try uninstalling every single app wich interacts with your mobile also uninstall all the drivers in your computer for your phone and then reinstall flashtool and install all the drivers (for me it worked once... i dont know why but th drivers where not working correctly) from flashtool
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)

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

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.

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

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.
I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

I dont really understand what you did
But my advice is: unlock your BL and enjoy the magic of aosp ROMs (magic included inside doomkernel for stock sony is fine too)

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!
