Hello I have an experia ray st18 and i had android 4.0.4 and a open bootloader.For a couple days I bought a new Display and replaced the old one after i was finished i did make the software new with flashtool.The Handy worked for 2 or free 3 days perfectly and then suddently it stop by the sony logo when i turned it on.Now i tried so much to get the ray working but nothing worked.The last thing i did I put new TA files on it but this didn't worked maybe i used the wrong files.After that i looked the bootloader and used SUS to make Factory defauls and copy new software on the phone .But still the phone stop by sony logo.Sorry for my bad english.I hope somebody can help me .
I can hardly undrstand your English.
did you try to flash the stock using flashtool?
shutdown your phone, and hold on volume down while connecting phone to pc.
you will see the led notification lighting in green.
flash the stock after you place it in firmware folder.

Yes i used Flashtool and the Volume button.This is no problem to flash the software but after that the software not booting it stopt when the sony logo appears.I tried to repair the phone with "fix fota bricked" but still the software don't boot into the system.After that i closed my bootloader because it was open before and with a open bootloader i am unable to use Sony Update service.With the closed bootloader i used SUS with the settings (factory default+ new Software) after copying the new software i reboot my phone and still it stop when the sony logo appears.I hope you understand my english now a little bit better
AW: [Q] Brocken Xperia Ray no booting

If you have a recovery try flashing something from it

Use flashtool to flash everything from the same version of firmware, meaning baseband, kernel, and stock ROM.
After replacing the Display i flashed the same software "android 4.0.4" that was already on the phone for the last year. The phone worked then for 2-3 days fine.The Batterie was empty and i put it on the charger then i tried to start the phone and nothing happens i just can see the sony logo.
Story abaut the phone:
I bought it for maybe a year ago with android 2.3.4 i flashed it with android 4.0.4 then i used the kernel 4.0.3 to get root access.Then i flashed the kernel 4.0.4.I deleted Facebook etc.all the apps i didn't want to have on the phone.Then I used the phone for a year I bought a new one and my girlfriend would have my Ray so i decided to repair the display and make new software on it because she want facebook etc.

Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.
Hi everybody,
First of all, if I am in any way repeating something written somewhere else, I am sorry but I am quite newbie here and, even if I searched around this forum, I couldn't find any info about my specific problem.
This said, to the problem!
I have an Xperia Neo (europe) with 2.3.3 Android and yesterday I was signaled of a OTA update available. I then switched on Wifi, connected the phone to the power cable and started the update. After downloading everything, the phone rebooted and showed me an updating screen.
After a while, though, the phone turned off and....well, it didn't turn on anymore!
No sign of life from the battery led either!
Now, after some stunned panicking seconds, I started googling and came at this thread:
http://www.techofweb.com/technology/recovering-bricked-xperia-flashtool.html
and downloaded the last version of Flashtool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
and the latest stock firmware ( MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_GLOBAL.7z ) from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
....I tried to flash the firmware with FlashTool and the operation completed, but when I try to turn the phone on now I just see a quick green blinking of the power led and then nothing else.
I tried to take out the battery, and also tried to flash an older (2.3.3) firmware, but the problem didn't go away.
Now, the phone is in warranty, not rooted and everything....I could bring it to Sony, but it would take 15 to 30 days to them, so I just wandered if there was anything I was doing wrong and that, if corrected, could save me a lot of time and efforts.
Thank you guys a lot!
Bye!
you downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 ?
If so then you get 0% battery issue... Search about it in this forum

could u bear with me for asking such questions and please reply it would be really helpful...as i am new to android platform
thanks in advance...
Try reading the previous post in this thread?
I'd be surprised if flashing firmware with Wotanserver won't fix it. Just go to wotanserver.com, follow the steps and flash.
Before u flash using flashtool or wotanserver, makesure u hold the back button while connect to usb until the green LED appear.

You had unlocked bootloader.
Check my tutorial, link in signature.
Also, flashmode is turn off phone, hold down volume down button and connect USB cable.

oh, good.
it's disappointing to know the service center didn't fix your phone. i guess warranty is just good for factory defects.
exactly ...if its a software fault we are better off solving it on our own from xda than service center...... they r only good for hardware faults..... and most of them are not covered in warranty i think
but they took my warranty papers and cancel guarantee...what a bastards

if guys still on issues one and only best idea to overcome the problem is to relock the bootloader. it can be flashed using flashtool like we do for .tft files or sin files. try it out it really worked for those regreting OTA updates.

Hello everyone i had a serious problem with my friend Ray (ST18i) . My friend said that his phone is freezing and restarting when playing some games, and then BOOT STUCK (not boot looping) at the SONY logo when gonna enter the system (when the screen light up) forever.
I already tried to flash stock firmware many times with build 4.1.B.1.13, 4.1.B.0.587, and 4.0.2.A.0.42 but the result is the same, i even thought that this phone is updated via OTA with unlocked bootloader so i do flash Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.FTF by FXP and Xperia_Relock_bootloader.FTF . And the result is still the same. I even tried to repair via Sony PC Companion and Reflashed it via Sony Update Centre, but the result is the same.
The thing is my friend is just some average Android user that don't know and don't need to root or even unlocking his phone bootloader, so he's never did that thing. so i can't go to recovery (cause there isn't any) but luckily the phone still can go to flashmode and fastboot, and even showing battery chare image when charged in Turned Off condition.
I really need help from you guys to fix this issue, cause the other problem is, there isn't any Sony Service Centre in my city, and this phone isn't even bought with official warranty. I had some exprience with samsung, and many Xperia (Now using hTC though) but this is the first time i'm facing this kind of problem.
Thank you.
Have you tried unlocking the bootloader and flashing the stock kernel with cwm? Then i would wipe everything incl system and format the sd card (make back up to pc) so you have a complete empty phone. Afterwards try installing stock firmware.

Yeah i would like to try that too, but, correct me if i'm wrong isn't to unlock bootloader you need the IMEI code from the phone? and as i know it, to get the IMEI code you need to enter *#*#7378423#*#* or such in your phone dial and see the IMEI code there. After reading your suggestion, i come up with an idea to unlock it via someone else Ray Unlock code from SONY, is it a good idea?
When i reflashed it with flashtool, there isn't any sdcard and simcard in the phone btw.
Or maybe there's some way to do a full wipe without entering a recovery?

Yes it was successfull like always with the final word, Flash complete and please unplug your phone. and device connected in flashmode.
I'm about to try unlocking the bootloader first (If i can't locate the IMEI, then the test point way will do) and then, flash a stock kernel with CWM and do a full wipe first.
I think it's still early to give up, because i think there's still so many way to fix this thing rather than just flashing a stock firmware.
I hope many awesome developer like Doomlord or bin4ry will at least take a look at this thread

no there is nothing much fr us to do.

I personaly suggest you to unlock your bootloader using the test point method rather than the sony method. That way you still have your original drm-keys.

UPDATE on UBL
Hi Everyone, yesterday i tried to unlock with 2 ways, the first way is with the SONY Official method even though the phone doesn't boot, i can get the IMEI from the back of the phone, and from the BOX (which is basically the same IMEI) and got the code from SONY. but unfortunately every time i'm in the final step i got : Remote oem unlock failed. And i'm sure i'm updated and using the latest Android SDK. i even tried to do fastboot command from other laptop but the problem still there. (Tried to google it for the same questions like that but what i got is only people that had a mistake in inputting the code number) Note: I already cross checked it for many times, that now in my inbox i had 5 same codes from SONY :silly:
Next is the Test Point with s1 tools method. But like always in the final step, i got another error which is: test point qcreceivepacket can't get packet start i tried to google it again (which is always leading me to XDA cause here is always the source lol) many people answered that same questions which is because the Xperia you're trying to root got a new version 2012 and something like that.
Note: I'm pretty sure the Xperia Ray i'm unlocking is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes, because when it's still alive i already checked it via *#*#7378423#*#* and 1 more thing is because i already tried to unlock an Xperia Mini Pro that is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO. Which is really can't be unlocked because the phone with that kind of status can't go to fastboot (always go to charging mode instead)
Maybe you can say i had a lot of experience with Android, but i'm just creating the forum account yesterday, so i'm still a NOOB here
which is why i appreciate all the help from you guys.
I'm gonna try Contacting the top Xperia developer (which is i still don't know how) ASAP
EDIT: Just read someone questions on Q/A General chat thread. That the reason i'm failed is because i haven't rooted my phone? Is it true to unlock you need to have a root access first? cause in my other Xperia (Active, Sola) i always root first before unlocking so i don't know if unlocking first will do.
