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.

Can i flash the rom with flashtool? & how can i do it?
Explain pls....
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

Hi,
I have installed CWM-Revovery 5.0 via Xperia Flash-Tool (Newest Version) on my rooted X10i (with busybox). After this I have rebooted my device and created an backup on SD-Card!
Then I wiped all data and flashed this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782771 "XPERIA S ICS" in the following order:
1.) Xperia S ROM (Was finished in only one second?!) 2.) ICS Launcher 3.) Google Apps 4.) ICS Addon Pack
After reboot my device stucks endless at the "Sony Ericsson" Logo and I can not enter the recovery anymore. I have also tried to Flash another ROM with plugged USB and Flash-Tool, but this also fails!
Any ideas please?
I hope my device is not fully bricked...
Thanks in advance for all helpful answers!
You were supposed to flash fxp kernel which has cwm recovery inbuilt after unlocking your bootloader. Then install the rom as directed. Try repair option via pc companion if flashtool isn't workin.
Sent from my xperia x10 running ics :what:
If you can access xRecovery, try to restore previous version of your ROMs after resetting facotry default and wiping partition and dalvik cache
If you can'tm check this video on how to flash an original firmware.
You'll need to download a firmware, and put it inside the firmware folder in the flashtool, then start the flashing as described in the video.

ok so i did the same (did not flash kernel).................but now after flashing the .431 kernel via flashtool it is still not happening......it wont go past the sony logo..........when i try with SEUS it says i already have the latest software installed...........please help.
Flash whole stock firmware with flashtool so you are able to boot phone.
Then when you will know the right steps, put rom .zip into sd, flash the right kernel and finally install rom via cwm following dev's instructions.
To flash a custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader.

I happened to soft-brick my Neo V few days back after installing a custom ROM. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Please read carefully :
U have to have a rooted and bootloader unlocked in phone to flash ROMs (OBVIOUS )
1)Copy the contents to your SDCARD of phone (ROM ZIP File + gapps ZIP)
2) Extract only the boot.img from the ROM zip to some location in your PC
3) Use Flashtool to flash the boot.img (FIRST THING TO DO)
3.a) Select Fastboot mode from flashtool
3.b) While the phone is connected, Click Fastboot phone using ADB.(Phone will restart and blue led will glow showing its in fast boot mode)
3.c) Now select the option, select kernel to flash in the window and chose the boot.img that is in the PC.
Now the flashtool automatically flashes the boot.img(which has the kernel included).
Unplug from PC and try to reboot.. On booting enter CWM mode and flash the ZIP already placed in the SDCARD(Ensure to follow the appropriate post to follow steps like clearing cache\Dalvik and system etc..).
HAPPY FLASHING

I had the same problen and fixed it. So first you will need a stock firmware of ICS (find it on google can't provide link because I am using phone...sorry) then you will need latest Flashtool version (download it on google too).
Once you have everything downloaded follow the steps.
1)Instal Flashtool (it's easy)
2)Then open it and navigate folder with name Firmwares.
3)Put in this folder the .ftf file you downloaded (I mean the stock Firmware) Plug the phone in and wait while Flashtool will recognize your phone. IF not instal ADB drivers
4)Then open Flashtool and hit the button with the lightning
5)Choose flashmode
6)Then choose the firmware you puted in the folder.
7)Follow the on-screen instructions and you have your phone back

u can just reflash your kernel and restore your backup from recovery. if u used x-parts or any app to install recovery it installs it to system partition. when u install a new rom it wipes your system partition.
if u haven't unlocked bootloader u have to flash stock firmware via flashtool. then install a recovery mode and restore your backup.

u maybe using an incompatible kernel. try reflashing it via flashtool. if it doesn't works use fastboot commands from command prompt or a terminal.
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?

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!
