Sorry for my terrible English!
My Xperia phone had some problems from the beginning, some lag and one time a week it freezed for some seconds. But it was usable anyway.
Now, after JB upgrade, it freezes more and, sometimes, when someone call me I can't slide completely and the phone tells me that the phone app is blocked. Sometimes the phone work but I don't ear the ringer, it can only vibrate, often it works well.
I just called Sony support but they say that the assistance can be not useful if these problems happen only sometimes. So they give me the advice to use another sim from other operator.
It is very difficult doing it, but I will try.
Any advice?
Thanks!
It seems you got a lot of problems. Backup everything and repair your phone with pc companion
Send from my xperia p
try to flash the JB ftf again with wiping everything after make a backup then flash Sliding Kernel V8.1.1 if u have unlocked boot-loader
it will work inshallah
Unfortunately I haven't an unlocke BL, and I think it is better not to unlock, if I don't solve the problem I try to send the phone to Sony assistence.
@Toon10: sorry, but how can I repair the phone by pc companion? I mean what kind of option or application have I to use?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my x10 mini pro. There are some similar posts here but nobody exactly describe what is happening to me. So my problem:
One day i have been in subway, phone working properly everything fine. THan suddenly 3G icon has disappear and wouldnt go back. So i decided to restart the device. But since i turned it off, i cannot turn it back on again...
I have tried to take out the simcard, take out mempory card, multiple time reflash by SEUS but still cannot turn it on.
I cna charge the phone with no problem, i can flash it with no problem, but i cannot use it at all.
When i press power button, phone shortly vibrate as he is turning on, than display get a bit brighter (not white, just lights up its easy to notice from profile). and than after few seconds get black again. And like this it continue until it drains battery, only without vibrating. every cca 5 seconds display light up and than get black again. So i guess its rebooting all the time. I have tried all tricks like pressing power+home button, still nothing.
I think i just need really wipe out the whole phone and flash it again. Is it possible somehow? I feel like reflashing by SEUS is not real hardcore flash, is there anything stronger i can try?
I am willing to try anything if anybody has an idea, since its not working anyway so i dont care what i try.
Thanks for advices !

I try this already... Still the same
Try to flash 1.6 back.
I had the same problem, didnt ever find a way to fix it so had it replaced under warrenty. may be your only way on this problem im afraid.
I tried 1.6 - didnt work
Problem is that i have no warranty.... I just gave it to my friend who is going to singapore, she knows some official SE shop, so maybe i will get it fixed, but im not sure if it wont be for the same money as new phone...
Well the phone is under a year old so it will be covererd under se warranty unless they think you broke there warranty in any way. I would flash it back to your original FW before having it looked at and wipe your sd card.
I bought it in chinese market (Its not a copy) without any receipt or anything, I dont think so they will took it as a warranty. I have done all of this. Flashed to my original FW, wiped everything, nothing works...
did u try SEUS ?
is your phone getting detected via SEUS in flash mode ? what happens when :
1. Take off the battery for 30 secs
2. connect the phone to usb
3. Power on the phone with back button pressed.
if SEUS detects u should be able to flash it. The flash tool also should be working.
Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Pepper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

Thanks Alejandrissimo!!
Alejandrissimo is the best!!
Two weeks ago, I tried to flash cyanogenmod7, but I'm a n00b, so ofcourse it went wrong. My device(Arc) wouldn't boot anymore, I tried some things and suddenly it even wouldn't connect with fastboot..
So I saw this topic and some other ones from Alejandrissimo, Many comments praising him for his patience and help, that's why I contacted him, and that evening he helped me getting my phone working! He really Knowles where he is talking about!
Only problem I had left was NO SIGNAL, I asked Alejandrissimo if he could help me with that and yes he said he could. For almost a whole week, oh well. Much time difference, so it was hard to catch eachother we tried flashing it again and again in different ways. Yesterday he thought he had the answer, we tried it, and it worked!! I'm so happy he helped me getting my phone back! So so many thanks again Alejandrissimo!!
In order to unlock my trim area for my SIM I had to pay 24USD, cause Alejandrissimo had to buy credits at Sony Ericsson, but it was totally worth it!

How about a bit more info?
What android version?
Any modifications made by you?
Wifi on or off at the moment of restart? If wifi is turned on, have you tried with turning it off?
Tried repair software with pc companion? If not, try. Make backup first.
android verison 2.3.4
I tired everything off-on, wifi, bluetooth, gps........
today i tried repair software with pc companion but same thing happening
i dosnt do any modifications
Then I believe it's time o visit service center.
Not sure if you bought it in store or from someone. Some models back in time had problems with restarting. I found out that half an hour before I went to store, but bought it anyway. Was lucky that mine didn't have problem with that.
if pcc did not work
go the service center 。。。。
Friend tries to update the software from the PC companion, do not try to repair the software, update it would be better if you can not should go rather in technical assistance

1) just for your information, repair is better than update. giving you a clean phone
2) what will you do if you already have latest software?
Hi,
I have upgraded to ICS Swiss initially and the phone was working fine.
It was little bit laggy and I switched to HK and as there were many language problems I flashed Singapore ICS.
From then onwards my phone started behaving weirdly.
I used the pattern lock to unlock and lock and my touch wasn't responding and the pattern used to do weird things on its own.
I reflashed Singapore ICS and my touch isnt working.
I gave my phone to the Sony service center and I lost my warranty for rooting.
The touch is responding few times and most of the time it is not working.
I am stuck with this phone which doesnt work.
Please help, I lost my warranty and cant afford to get a new one at this stage.
I asked the technician at Sony and he informed it is the software problem and their system is not allowing it upgrade or change it.
Someone please help me, I am freaking out....
I would like to go back to GB, can someone provide the steps to do that. I do not have a backup of my previous version.
Why you didn't use flashtools?
You have unlocked bootloader???
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I used flashtool to flash the ftf files.
I have unlocked bootloader.
Did you untick the boxes to save your data each time? If so, flash the swiss again, tick everything so you get a full wipe
Sent from my Xperia S on which The Kernel has been installed but he bought no chicken.....
Or re-lock your bootloader and use sus( sony update service) to repair the software and choose factory reset.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I checked all the boxes and followed all the steps everytime, but to my vain the touch doesnt work now.
I have done as you said, relocked the bootloader and downloaded SUS and did the factory reset.
The touch doesnt work. I think its a hardware problem.
The service center person informed that they have to change the mother board and its 70% of the cost of the phone.
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.

Thank you for your kind reply
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.
and if u would like them to fix it please contact them personally
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.
