When did you unlocked?
I think you just forgot to take out sim card when unlocking bootloader(or didn't know about this) ,TRUE?
you can flash back to stock to solving this
#read roms bugs, this might be a bug?!
This is JAY-Z-S
Nop, i didn't know about that and i used 3 rooms i don't think they have same bug. So i have to unlock bootloader and flash again without sim?

You don't have to take out your sim-card to unlock your bootloader, you just have to have the right simlock-certificate in order to do it.
To get your signal back, flash back to stock ROM and use the Restore-button in S1Tool to lock your bootloader again. Hopefully your signal will come back. (Do NOT use x10blrelock.ftf included in flashtool, it WILL destroy your phone)
You'll be stuck with ROMS for stock kernel though.

It doesn't need to.
Keep your phone disconnected
Start PC Companion
Go into Support Zone and choose Update
It can't find an update, so it will offer you a repair option
Follow the intructions from there.
When it asks you to connect your phone in flashmode, plug in your usb-cable and hold the back-button. If your phone isn't turned off when you connect it using the usb-cable, press home- and power-buttons together, it will reboot into flashmode.
PC companion must be update :| that it says, i ll try using update service (seus) i remember that worked last time.
Yes, it's working.

Use flashtool to root your phone, just press the padlock button and follow the instructions. It needs to be done in the right order and with reboots between each step, and flashtool does that automatically.

My Xperia X10 is currently not working (see previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993785) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
I'm trying to use Flashtool to flash the generic X10 Firmware to my phone although
it's taking up to 4+ hours and then my phone battery dies and the flash is unsuccessful.
Why is Flashtool taking so long to flash a firmware to my X10? I've tried a few different computers and still the same problem.
Please Help. Thank you.

I cannot access my phone as of now, it's pretty much a brick. Holding the on button brings only a vibrate and thats it.
what about flashing a rom that you know worked on your phone, making sure you flash the right Baseband for that particular rom first.
EDIT: Sorry just read through you posts and you have probably tried this if you have flashed a rom to it!

Is it possible to turn USB Debugging on without accessing the device??
not assuming you're silly. but you are making sure you have your finger firmly on the back button when you plug in the phone when flashing yeah? the simplest are often the ones that get you.

Read previous thread in original post.
The phone has crashed for some reason whilst using the FreeX10 Beta4 Rom and I cannot access the phone. It charges fine although I cannot turn on/access my phone.
not sure why the flash is taking so long. attempt to flash a different firmware possibly? Also do you have the latest flashtool?
Impossible to brick so you're not out of luck yet. Try flashing with latest flashtool 2.9.1
I'll attempt now with the Flashtool 2.9.1 beta. It's a shame that as soon as they unlock the bootloader my X10 decides to stop working.
EDIT:
'turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging' - It's impossible to access my phone to turn on USB debugging and unknown sources. What do I do now?
bump, anyone??
Attempt repairing your phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that fails put a compatible basebrand and firmware on your phone. Make sure user data is wiped

Sony Ericsson Update Service does not recognise the product.
Not that I haven't attempted this but I put a compatible baseband and firmware and it took 7 hours in which it only flashed 4 items and then the rest flashed instantly which the phone displays blinking red light.
It's not working. Whats wrong???

Try to use SEUS to repair phone if you can't boot your phone. Do not use PC Companion cause' it will try to detect your phone everytime you use it but your phone can't boot so PC Companion now useless. If you can't repair your phone, you have to bring it to SE service.

It will not detect your phone dude. You must select your phone from the list supported. It will tell you to plug your phone in while holding BACK key and after searching for update, you will have a notice about update or repairing.
Downgrade is the best way now.so just follow this steps:
Tool you Need : download all
a: Flash Tool.Geit it here http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
b: Firmware WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58 .Get it here http://www.mediafire.com/?zwmzpu9czf9ib4c
c: Rooting by Doomlord Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805532
d: Cwm Recovery.Get it here http://www.mediafire.com/?73xv18tht0e8zt4
Steps:
1.Unzip firmware and put in flashtool firmware
2.Go to flashtool.Power off hp.and switch on with pressing volume down while connecting usb.You ll see green led.Flash firmware.And setup as 1st time you buy hp.
3.Extract Doomlord root kitt .Before root make sure usb debugging is tick and display screen timeout at hp set to 10 or 30 minutes. Run runme.bat.check whether superuser is there
4.Now.you must update to new firmware using update on air(OTA).In your hp,go to setting-about-software update.download and install.WARNING : DONT UPDATE USING PC COMPANION OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ROOT
5.After update.Unzip cwm install and run the second file script for wt19i.install-cmw2.cmd.This proses like the 3rd step.Make sure usb debugging mode and displays screen timeout set to 10min
And done...u have newer version root firmware + cwm without unlock bootloader.Thank to doomlord and nobodyAtall
Press thank if you like my threat.
So any other method than that other than unlocking the bootloader or flashing custom .62s? Too bad since mine doesn't have an OTA update because it tells that i'm on the latest fw although I have the .58 official stock rom. Been checking for days now.

I think it because of your firmware factor.Try reflashing using my method.Before this my newer firmware is. 69 after update but i downgrade using my method because i m losing root and now my newer firmware is. 62.maybe because csc.base on region.some of us get. .62 as new firmware and some got, .69 as latest firmware available .my method no need to unlocking bootloader or custom rom.its stock rom.
.69 is only for Germany, related to legal issues with Google. No performance or bug fixes in there.

If you have .58, then you don't have to flash again. Just root it and then make OTA update.
Over point 2, I disagree. To enter flashmode on WT19, just plug in USB cable to computer, turn off your phone, hold down Volume Down button and connect USB cable to your phone. Green LED shows up.

When seus says you have the latest software there is a bit that says something like "if you're having problems with your device click repair" I restored mine like this last week (two days and I was back on the latest minicm)
I know people say it all the time but you could calibrate your battery
Fully charge
Wipe battery the stats
And run a few full cycle charges.
Worked a charm last time my battery went ****ty!

Hi, I have a orange network locked xperia ray st18i locked bootloader. I downloaded pc companion and did a software update and all went well. The phone booted up fine after the update until I shut it down and since then I have been unable to get passed the SE screen. It just hangs there. I am able to enter flash mode by pressing the down button and plugging the usb in. Tried phone repair option and still no jog.
Today I tried to unlock the bootloader using the pin touching menthod but that didnt work either. Said something like fatal error....
I need to unlock the bootloader to try a alternative rom to see if that works or revert back to the stock orange rom it came with but im cannot find this anywhere. I am a learner so any advice would be helpful. CAn anyone suggest a rom for the ray that can be installed using flash method WITHOUT unlocked bootloader? I am a **** for doing the uprgrade via sony website but I didnt think this would happen. should have left it as it was.
Thanks for reading.
Take your battery out and try reflashing again using SEUS.
Thread moved to Xperia Ray Q&A.
Yes I have tried that many times already and it finishes the update correctly but still hangs on the SE logo when turned on. I tried again just to see if anything has changed. When I connected the phone whilst pressing the down vol button it recognised it and said your phone already has the latest software but I re installed anyway. No change in result though.
Sony have asked to send the phone to repair and they will reply with a quote for fixing it. Has anyone used this service before and how much can i expect to pay for a software install? Repair office is in Ashford, kent.
thanks

HAD YOU READ THE FIRST PART OF MY GUIDE YOU WOULD ALREADY KNOW. Had you even read the stickys in the General section you would have found one.
Right so I created the .ftf file from the three update files. Ive downloaded x10 flash tool. I connect the phone and flashtools registers that a phone is connected then start the flash but soon after the phone just gets disconnected.
any idea's?

Download the latest flashtool (I guess it's 0.9.x) and install it. Go to the drivers folder and install all the drivers for all the phones and modes. Now you launch flashtool, but don't connect the phone! Click on the flash -> flashmode -> select the ftf and don't exclude anything (you have the ability on the right site).
Now click OK and the screen to connect the phone in flashmode appears. Shut down the phone, wait 20 seconds, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect the phone to PC.
Wait until the flashing process has finished and hope it'll start!

Okay, so i've played a bit with CWM recovery.
My device cannot have it's boodloader unlocked.
Yesterday, i accidentally flashed something that was for devices with bootloader unlocked and the phone didn't start after reboot.
If i press the power button it just vibrates once, but doesn't start.
If i put it in flash mode my pc tells me that the device cannot be recognized.(Device enumeration failed)
I want to flash it to stock firmware.
What can i do?

You soft-bricked your phone. I had also made this mistake when i first flashed the rom.
1. Download flashtool for xperia devices. http://androxyde.github.io/
2. Go to the folder where you installed flashtool. There you'll see a folder named - drivers.
3. Click on it and run the exe file.
4. In the driver installation wizard you'll see names of phone models. Check on xperia p, u sola and go then in same list scroll down and also check fastboot and flashtool drivers. Let drivers install (i recommend to turn off firewall and and antivirus for this).
5. Run the flashtool. Then press and hold vol down button and plug your phone to pc. Let flashtool detect your phone.
6. Then download and Flash the stock firmware. For that you need to copy ftf file to the folder called 'firmwares'. You can find that folder where you installed flashtool.
7. In flashtool click the thunder icon, select flashmode, select the ftf file you need to install, be sure to tick - wipe data, wipe apps, wide app log
8. then let flashtool flash the stock rom
9. Unlock the bootloader properly. For that note down your imei no. somewhere. Then on sony developer site request for bootloader unlock then you'll get a mail having a password. note it carefully.
10. click on 'unlock symbol' in flashtool and it will guide unlock your bootloader.

You would've helped me if it wasn't for:
1. Phone is not starting up, just vibrating once. If plugged into computer gives "USB not recognized error"
Drivers are installed corectly, but after this brick, pc is not recognizing the phone.
2. I cannot unlock the bootloader, the phone is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, got it from Orange Romania carrier.
I am hoping my windows 8.1 desktop is at fault.
Trying on windows 8 laptop.
I will get back to you with results.
It was the pc with windows 8.1
So i flashed B89 firmware, but it seems to be non-rootable.
My sim is not detected either.

made it with windows 8 on my laptop.
I repaired the device, but now with the original firmware it sais that it can't recognize my sim card.
What to do?
Had you made the repair with the official software PC companion?

I can't. The laptop with windows 8 isn't really mine.
And the desktop with windows 8.1 doesn't recognize my device when in flash mode.
I will try flashing generic baseband and hope for the best.
!Update! - Just tested with Sony Pc companion, it installed ICS B54 on my phone, sim card still not usable. In lock screen it sais "No service".
What baseband do i need for usage using Orange sim card?
Location: Romania.

If you are completely stock then dont worry just clear cache and dalvik and then power off your phone for 4-5 hours. Then your phone will able to detect sim card.
It happens with me too.
Its a very weird bug.. I dont know how to fix it.

You would've helped me if it wasn't for:
1. Phone is not starting up, just vibrating once. If plugged into computer gives "USB not recognized error"
Drivers are installed corectly, but after this brick, pc is not recognizing the phone.
2. I cannot unlock the bootloader, the phone is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, got it from Orange Romania carrier.

Ok man, thanks.
Can you provide firmware that would work fine with my phone?
I will flash it then completely power down for 4-5 hours.

I did flash a generic firmware a while ago and it worked.
I don't think that my phone is st25a.
I bought it from romania, so i think it would be st25i.

b.1.89 for st25i --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240342
b.1.10 for st25a --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
to know whether your phone is st25i or a dial *#*#7378423#*#*
then go to service info --> model info
even if you arent stock you should still try switching off ur phone for 4-5 hours coz i wasnt on stock when that problem came up..

Thanks a lot man.
I like the xda comunity, always helping. I will try and find out now what phone i have.
Will post update.
PS: I forgot to say about this strange thing.
If i start up phone without sim, it can detect the baseband version and the IMEI.
But if i reboot with sim in, it sais nothing when i ask for imei *#06#.
It just sais: "IMEI"
Update: phone is ST25i

Flashed the B.1.89 as the phone said it's st25i.
Removed battery.
Will wait for about 6 hours then put back battery and power it up.
I will also post update about phone status.

Update: after more than 6 hours without battery, i've put in in then start phone..Still no signal.
Also, when my sim is plugged in it can't recognize the phone's IMEI or Baseband.
But, when i start it up without sim it does.
It can't search for networks either with sim in or without.
Any more fixes available??

Why would i want to flash st25a software?
I flashed the one for ST25i. Still nothing.
