Hello guys,
I am on a trip to the UK. During the flight the phone was working fine. Turned it off during the landing and tried to turn it on when the plane landed. But it won't turn on. It's stuck on the Sony logo. The phone was rooted with locked bootloader. I managed to get into the CWM and backup and even made a fresh install of the ROM (zelly cream) I could use the aroma installer, the touchscreen wouldn't work though. PC companion recognises the phone, says there no update. I used flashtool several times. Everything installs correctly but still stuck on sony logo. Please help me. I am stuck with no phone on my trip.

Looks like a legit hard brick
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
It looks like a hardbrick, but if you're still under warranty then flash a stock firmware and send it to sony service center. Should be fine with locked bootloader

The phone's out of warranty.
I went to a shop that repairs phones, they sent it back in 3 days saying it can't be fixed. Now what? I have an expensive paperweight? It's not heavy enough for that either.
weird,I got stuck in sony logo more than 10 times.and repair it with flashtool did you follow the guide correctly?

Only solution I found
I had almost a similar problem. I had installed the same rom to my xperia ray and tried to update it with different selections in aroma installer. The result was the phone stuck at the sony logo.
I tried PC companion and it recognised a sony phone but not a ray.
I tried seus, this detected correctly xperia ray, but it replied that there is no update for my phone.
I tried flashtool but it could not recognize my phone and any way I didn't have any thing to flash my ray. (I installed the drivers from the subdirectory)
So I tryied something I've used a year ago: Wotan server. I paid about $2 to get a license and after executing the steps of the tool, I finally had my phone back.
I know that I'm not an expert on the field, and maybe there are other free of charge ways to do the work, but this worked for my phone and this was the second time.
PS. After the procedure I updated my phone using SEUS and this time I kept the stock ICS files and converted them to ftf files
I think the internal memory chip is faulty or something. Or it wouldn't even boot in the first place?

Thanks. Did this a hundred times. Still not working It may be a hardware problem
Guys please help me
Guys please help me. I rooted, unlocked bootloaders and unbricked android phones many times before but I just don't know what to do now. I tried flashing with flashtool 10000 times, everything goes ok but the phone won't go past the sony logo. I tried removing the battery for days. I tried charging for days. I even tried unlocking the bootloader and installing custom kernels. No luck. SEUS said there's no update even though I flashed an old firmware and after unloacking the BL says the phone has modified firmware that cannot be modified , EMMA says no available services. The only thing I didn't try is the test points method but why would I?
Anyone has any idea what's going on? I don't have the money for another phone right now
Anyone??

Then read through the thread or Google. There is enough information on how to restore your Phone in this thread alone, never mind the rest of the forum or numerous threads that have been started in the last few months.

The phone was rooted with a custom ROM (Zelly Cream 2.0). The rom was flashed weeks before that happened. I was on the plane playing games on the phone. Turned it off for landing. Tried turning it on after the plane landed and it was stuck on the sony logo. I could get into the CWM and used the Aroma installer using the keys as the touchscreen would not work.

I saw on the phone screen update, push download it, then install, phone restarts and start install updates and suddenly it turns off. Now when I try turn it on just lightly blinks notification light.
I tried flash it with "flashtool" frimware "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf" and "ST18i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1252-5332 ).ftf". All processes completed without errors, but telephone still dead.
Also I tried repair frimware with sony ericsson update service, but when phone is already connected and repair must start sony ericsson update service shows error " The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated".
Please help me. What can I do?
Sorry for my English.
You had unlocked bootloader? If yes try flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2dwrz18mujx765
and after that install any ROM or use WotanServer.

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
Read my guide and try flashing a stock ftf file, if that fails theres a few other things you could try.

It's not as hard as you may think
Use this to create the ftf, it's step by step. If you can't/don't want to do it I can't help you because I have no orange firmware

thanks for the reply. When I did my upgrade it went through fine so I am assuming I alraedy have the new firmware on my phone. The problem is making it work. Why does my phone just stop and hang on the SE logo? are you telling me my original orange firmware is still in my mobile?

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!

Flash it through Flashtool. My x10 is also bricked, even flash mode isn't working. But I'm sure this would work for your phone as my phone condition is different from yours.
maybe lack of suitable drivers

I have already made a thread in Xperia U dedicated section and posted in "Ask Any Question" here but no help at all. Absolutely disappointing.
Kindly help me installing a GB ROM.
What are my options?.
Thank You.
What's wrong with your device? If it's software related, then try using PC Companion to fix it..

All started when I tried to put a GB ROM. I got 'Status 7' error in recovery. Everything went wrong from there.
IF ONLY it had a removable SD card and I wouldn't have lost any hair.
Please write in steps what I need to do to put GB ROM on it. Which recovery?, because all recoveries I see are for ICS or ICS+ versions.
I am using 'Flashtools' for everything. Recovery, ATM, has no ADB side load. So start from A and end at Z.

This.
You can try and connect your xperia phone to PC Companion..download it its free..or you can also SEUS..when connected it will give you a prompt to fix the phone and it will download the firmware and flash it after..
Are you sure that will help?. The phone in question is in other city and I will be there for a day or two. I dont want to be stuck.
The only thing that is on the phone is CWM 5.5.x.x version.
That should help..i used to own xperia devices in the past..with the last one being the xperia SL LT26ii..got it bricked flashing ROMs to it..plugged it in to PC Companion and got detected..it then asks you to fix the phone's software..root is lost during the process..atleast it gets your phone up and running again..
