Hmmm...use SEUS to re-flash back your stock roms....
is SEUS working on PC running Linux OS?

Nope....I don't think so.....
I think flashtool might work...just download the ftf file and flash it using flashtool.

You have to flash the entire ftf file of .587 just as you would flash the .431 ftf. No changes at all. Also, kernel does not contain the system folder(ROM) but contains only the ramdisk and zImage binary. The system.sin file in your ftf package actually contains the "system" folder. Anyway, it is just safer to flash the entire package. Good luck!

Just place your ftf in firmwares folder, start flashtool and select the ftf from the list and click the flash button! Don't uncheck any options there and press flash. Then connect your phone in download mode and done! Don't worry about the kernel and all that stuff. Flashing a stock ftf should take care of all the problems in your phone.

W8 Stock ROM 2.1.1.A.0.53
Download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61155616/E16i_2.1.1.A.0.53_Sony Stock 2.1-update1.ftf (218 MB)
This is the original untouched stock firmware (E16i) directly extracted from binary blob from PCC using flash tool (not a nandroid backup).Maybe useful for flashing to original stock or as a base for new ROMs.
Hope this helps.

When updating using PCC.The firmware will be stored in db folder of PCC .(C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\).
Update /Repair your phone using PCC. Then search for blob_fs folder in db folder.There you can find 3 files with name starting FILE_. Then start Flash tool.In
Advanced menu select "Decrypt Files'. Point blob_fs as source folder and select the "FILE_" files.After decrypting select "create bundle" from Advanced menu.After completion you can find ftf file in firmwares folder.hope this helps

maybe the W8 Version is not fully compactible with X8 and i can't download apps with W8 Rom getting random reboots and i can't flash back because PCC says Update-Server not available atm
Edit: Reparing Phone works again after i flashed 2.1 ftf and rebootet PC (i think rebooting PC worked for me)
Thats sucks, then I will try it later if it won't be dangerous.
Anyway, you can't flash with PCC. Have you tried with seus?

Hi,
First of i want to say that i am not from Ray section, i own a Xperia S, but my sister has Xperia Ray, i upgraded her phone from GB. to ICS (4.1.B.0.587) but didn't know how to root it, after searching i found this on Arc section. i tried it and seems to work on Ray too. So here it goes. And i take no credit for this work, all credit goes to the makers.. And i don't know if this was posted here before but if so MODs. can delete it.
This tutorial is for 4.1.B.0.587 only!
1) flash this via flashtool : ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf http://www.mediafire.com/?gbs29dw3tzx765k (thanks to zstoichev)
OBS : you might get errors after the reboot, don't worry, this is normal and step 3 will fix that.
2) Root your Ray with DooMLoRD's tool:
Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings. Before you open the .bat file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
3) Flash the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel via. flashtool

yea, it is ok.
Can you please upload just striped-down verisions of both kernels 4.0.3 (562) & 4.0.4 (587) (only *.sin files packed in ftf file)? In this case there is no need to DL 200+MB files wor me (already on ICS 4.0.4_4.1.B.0.587) so I only need kernel files in ftf not the whole ROM).
Thank you!

Could not flash 587 kernel
Hi, I've run into a problem that's just been driving me crazy.
I've essentially been able to flash into build 562, and then run the root (which works), but when I try to flash to the 587 kernel, I keep checking my version and it always says 4.0.3 build 562 (paraphrasing here).
I've converted the 587 kernel.sin file into an ftf and ran it, but still it does not work.
Can I get some help please?
I'm probably newbing out on something, but everywhere I search people keep saying "flash to 587 kernel" but there was barely any information on what to do with the .sin files after I got them. I just want to confirm that I simply bundle them up using flashtool and flash that file right? but that doesnt work.
Phone is xperia ray st18a, bootloader is locked on Rogers.
Thanks for any help.
I also wanted to add, for flashing the kernel, i've tried using fastboot(adb) but could not select the kernel yet.
My attempts are flashing with a full 587 build but excluding everything but the kernel, and not wiping any data, I am still stuck at 562.

Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).
Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue )
Solution:
Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.
Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.
