1.download flashtool and Stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 firmware( check the stickies in the development section)
2.Install it, also install drivers for your device( u can find them in c/flashtool/drivers/ run the exe file present there!
3. After that place your firmware ftf file in c/flashtool/firmware/
4. Open flashtool, connect your device in flash mode( turn off the phone and connect via usb cable while keeping the back key pressed down). Your LED should glow green
5. Now click on.the flash button in the flash tool, select fw and check wipe data, cache and dalvik also check no final verification. Press ok
6. It will start flashing, once its done disconnect the phone and reboot!
Now u have stock ics! Just root it, install cwm and then u can flash ultimate HD!

So first download latest sony relese http://www.sendspace.com/file/ekr207
Be sure you have Flashtool instaled.
Drag the ftf file into flashtool and folow the instructiins
Then download this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31910339&postcount=2304
its .img
Flash it with flashtool - disconect your phone from usb. Make sure its powered off. Hold volume up and conect usb. You have to see blue led. then click the first thunder icon and select fastboot mode. Then select kernel to flash and then select the .img you downloaded. Congrats now you have a kernel with in build recovery(however how many roms you flash you will have recovery as long as you dont change kernel. CM kernels also have recovery. Flash kernels with flashtool. To root stock firmware go to androidsu.com and download the latest superuser(cwm flashable and flash it via cwm

have you rooted phone before u installed CWM mod? if no use SuperOneClick .. it's very easy
maybe this will be helpful ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227 to instal CWM mod
Folks,
I was trying to install Custom ROM from here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603919
After installing the ROM, now my Neo V is stuck at SONY logo and doesn't move forward :crying: I had backed my ROM thru CWM, but it won't even go into the recovery mode now. I even tried to flash the 4.1.B.0.587 ftf file using flashtool, but to no avail.
I was on a rooted but Stock ROM 4.0.4 build 4.1.B.0.587. Please see attached screenshots for more details. Please help. Thanks.
Resolved it myself by doing a repair thru PC Companion. :good:
power off ur fone ( remove battery and put it back again ) ... then through flash tool go to flash mode and select 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.587(FTF file) then wait till the flash tool prepared the frimware to flash then hold back buttin and connect ur fone to PC
Flash a new ftf file
Just reflash the stock ROM,using flashtool...
If u get any error in flashtool, then try flashing another ftf...

1) problem is solved! people, read replyes before you reply
2) is it necessary to suggest flashtool 3 times?
I have no ROM on my device after wiping all partitions. I have XCWM recovery installed. But since the Xperia U doesn't have an SD card slot I can't get a ROM on the device to install a new one.
I have tried the Sony Update Service already but since I unlocked the bootloader it is giving me an "modified firmware, can't continue" error.
Any ideas how I can install a new ROM?
Pete
try with flashtool to flash the stock and then put a rom on your damn amazing xu
Yea just flash ftf with Flashtool. And don't format the sd card next time!

Xperia Ray is st18i. Download right rom and try to flash it with full wipe. Don't use sus, if you want go back to stock use flashtool and ics ftf
Btw I never tried miui, but I think the custom kernel for miui is inside the zip.

Download correct ftf for ray. Put it on firmware folder of flashtool. Just flash it....

If you have an unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash enter cwm
I would do it like this:
1. Take off the battery
2. Insert battery
3. Hold volume up
4. While holding it connect it to PC
(It's in fastboot mode to flash the kernel)
5. Flash an ics kernel with flashtool, flash the one you like (or see which is recommend for a miui rom for ST18i)
6. Unplug phone, boot in cwm
7. Mount usb and copy the zip of the rom for st18i to your phone
7.1 if this won't work, do
Code:
adb push name_of_the_rom_zip /sdcard/
8. Wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache
9. Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
10. Install the zip
11. Reboot and enjoy
Should work

Dude first download official Build 4.1 b 0.587 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837398
and then download flash tool by Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde ... copy the downloaded .ftf file in firmwares folder
Press the Volume down button simultaneously while connecting phone with USB to laptop or pc and click the flash icon.
Pop up appears right away then choose Flash Mode. select the Build version .ftf and Flash.
Note: Before this download sound drivers for your phone. if it fails, u can also get it from PC companion. and copy all the files in Flash tool --> drivers folder...

Just flash the miui kernel. Usually it doesn't matter in what order you flash the kernel (before/after flashing the rom). You'd lose your data if you return to stock, it's useless.
