Hi Guys,
found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141817 adb guide, but unfortunately the guy is not familiar with xperia ray, so I need to ask the question here.
Is there a way to connect via adb to phone in bricked state, in order to do a logcat for troubleshooting?
1.My BL is unlocked,
2.I can flash custom kernel or rom,
3. when I connect the phone to PC, flashtool says USB debugging is off.
4. when I run adb devices, doesn't list any devices ,
5. I'm running adb while flashtool is NOT running.
will provide the steps I did so far for a better understanding of the problem:
1. I was on ICS ( Iced Bean 3.4 ) , with BL lockedand phone rooted and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.
2. I flashed the rom with cwm, and everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash the rom several times, without issues, but the last was unlucky .
3. Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the rooting process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with flashtool, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.
4. and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony ericsson logo.
5. I then tried different kind of stock firmwares ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.
6. afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flashed a version of the above mentioned GB illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the same.
7. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same, now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.
8. tried to flash someguyfromhell's unbrick ftf, which is for the FOTA brick whith BL unlocked, as I understood.
9. reflashed stock GB .42 with flashtool, but phone still hangs at sony Ericsson logo.
the current status of the phone if I connect it to PC is :
1. If I do not hold any volume buttons, the phone goes into flash mode ( solid green led ), and after a short while ( 20-30 sec ) led turns off, Sony Ericsson logo shows up, then goes away and battery with power sign is displayed when I short press the power button
2. if I hold vol down, phone behaves the same way as at 1.
3. if I hold vol up, phone goes in fastboot mode ( solid blue led ) and stay solid blue, it is not going into charging mode.

Sup guys!
Im so down, because i hade 2 days ago CWM 7.2.0 1.0.8 on my Xperia Mini Pro and i was bored so i just got the CM 9.0.0 1.1.1 and if just seen on it that my battery goes very fast down on that rom the camera is bad and no flashlight working so i choosed the HYBROM v14 and got the .KRsH Kernel v3.0 (MiniPro) and flashed the HYBROM v14 and it didnt work. I turn on my phone it vibrates i see the boot logo after 3 minutes it show me a black screen and then it restart again and do it allways the same if tried it with CM 9.0.0 1.1.1 boot.img with nero droid boot.img and with rage kernel boot.img and it happens allways the same on some kernels i cant enter the CWM. I tried with flashtool to got the 62. kernel from XperiaMiniPro_4.0.2.A.0.62_SK17.ftf and it doesn do andything now i tried three times to flash SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf but it is allways the same it freezes at sony ericsson logo and then after some time i got a black screen and then it restart.
What should i do please help me
I need my phone so early !
1.Have krsh kernel
2.do full wipe, clear cache
3.clear dalvik
4.in mounts and storage,do format system,format data,format cache.
5.Install the rom.
perhaps it'll work..
But before i try to do this, i have to say if tried to set back my phone with WotanClient i cant use SEUS because i have unlocked the bootloader.
So if done it but it starts with Virbation and Sony Ericsson Logo after 2-3 Minute it's black with backlight on and after 30 sec. it restarts again all the time.
But thx ill gonna try it.
EDIT://
No it didnt work because i cant enter with krsh kernel not with 1.6 or 2.0 the CWM so if tried it with the x kernel and i can enter the CWM but i tried it like u said but it doesnt change anything after boot logo it freezes gets quickly phased black and restarts.
First download the custom ROM .zip file and place it on the root of your SDcard.
Then install the kernel you have chosen via Flashtool or fastboot.
Then you will need a ClockworkMod Recovery(or any other recovery, but this is the most popular). Some kernels have it already built in, check in the kernel description.
Next, enter the Recovery by pressing volume down button many times, when phone boots and screen goes brighter. Then make factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik Cache(last one is under Advanced). Then install zip from sdcard and choose your ROM's zip.
Oh, and if you don't know, which kernel to choose, then for Hybrom ROM should Rage Kernel and X Kernel work, I have had both on my LWW, both were good.
Yeah dude but i know how to do that all but it even dont boot it doesnt matter wichs rom or kernel i choose it allways stuck and sony ericsson logo and then it gets black and restarts.
If tried 2 firmwares with WotanClient and tried to flash a firmware.
It's just the same all the time.
What to do?
****ing damn ****.
My battery is empty and i cant charge my phone :/
The green led just blinking every 10 seconds quickly and when i try to turn it on it just vibrates and thats all.
What to do?
Does just anyone can help me pleeeease !
If you install a custom kernel, then, depending on the kernel of course, mostly you don't get the Sony Ericsson Logo.
So, you might be doing something wrong there with the kernel, as it doesn't get installed and that causes the problem.
Ok it do it like this:
- I go to my fastboot folder
- I have there:
* adb.exe
* AdbWinApi.dll
* AdbWinUsbApi.dll
* boot.img (the one wich i want)
* fastboot.exe
- I hold shift and click the right mouse button and press command prompt..
- i enter in the cmd: "fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img" because "fastboot flash boot boot.img" dont work it never worked for me
- i wait till its done
- i unplug it
- i start my phone its not working
And now i cant do something because my battery is dead and i cant charge it
When you use custom kernel like krsh rage or x, they'll have offline charging.. U just plugin your charger(not usb) it'll charge i guess so...
If flashed my phone again with Wotan and now i can charge it.
But its stucking at Sony Ericsson logo when it try's to charge.
And boot is again ****ed it justs like all the time freezing allways and then black and restart.
Is there a way to check whats broken or to set it back with a another way?
EDIT://
I flashed
- Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf then
- SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf and at last
- XperiaMiniPro_4.0.2.A.0.62_SK17.ftf
Not i can run the SEUS it says i have the newest version but i pressed install.
I hope it will fix the problem
EDIT2://
****ing damn **** -.-
Its like all the time the same ****.
Why cant anyone help me
#Push​
Help please..
did you tried to flash any other firmware (eg. Stock 4.0.A.2.368) via flashtool?
try also to flash stock krenel, then relock bootloader and restore the firmware via PCCompanion
By the way, did you unlocked your device with test point or official method?
maybe both of them?
I unlocked my phone with the offical method and relocked it with Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf and it worked.
But when i flash my phone with Wotan and SEUS then my phone should be like i buyed it new or not?
Sorry for my terrible english.
EDIT://
I cant find any ftf for download, the only ftf wich i found for download was "SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf" and all other if downloaded with Wotan..

So I've got a Xperia X10 mini pro. It had a CM7.2 on it and some nAa kernel. I've downloded another rom and flash it. Everything ok.
When I wanted to reboot the phone after the flashing, CWM said something about some CWM error or something like that. I've ignored it and now the phone gets stuck at the booting process.(powers up, sony ericsson logo apears and nothing happens). If I put the battery in, it sometimes powers up by himself. I can't get in flashmode(back key, menu key...none of them works). Windows recognises something like SEMC bla bla.. I already have a rooted, flashed Xperia Neo so I'm not exacly a noobie, but I'm a noobie at x10.
So, any thoughts? Thanx alot!

You need to flash the kernel appropriate to the ROM.
You are on Stock kernel, and not some nAa one, so your last ROM had CWM (or xrecovery) included. This is not included in ROMS that run on nAa kernel because the nAa kernel has got it built-in. That's why it disappeared when you installed a new ROM, now find the kernel that belongs to it.
I can't flash any kernel, any rom or anything because the phone can't get connected to PC, no flashmode, no nothing. The led isn't blinking or anything not even when I connect the charger.

If you take out the battery it works sometimes you say, so take out your battery, f it powers up and gets stuck on the SE Logo, connect it to your pc, press power and home buttons together to get a hard reboot, as soon as the screen goes black, press the back-button to get into flashmode. ofcourse make sure your software is asking for flashmode before you do all that.
what I mean by powering up by himself is that it acts like I'm powering it up but it still get's stuck at se logo. I'll try the hard reboot thingie.
PLEASE try this.
remove your battery.
use flashtool to flash the 2.1 firmware of SE. or use SEUS.
connect your phone to the PC and be ready for flash mode.
hold the back button.
then insert the battery while holding the back button.
it will go to flashmode.
then start flashing the firmware.
afterwards you will be reverted to 2.1 eclair.
connect to usb debug
then root your phone using flashtool.
unlock the bootloader using s1tool.
flash the nAa kernel using flashtool.
put the zipROM on your SDcard.
enter the cwm recovery.
wipe data/cache/dalvik cache then flash the rom.
if you encounter an error on flashing the rom e.g(you experience flashing in just a very short time, then the rom is not flashed) format your SDcard then redo the flashing.
I hope this helps.
PS. on some cases, when your phone is bricked. you can directly flash the nAa kernel then flash the rom.

How old is your X10minipro? I'm asking this because of your LED notif lights are not working. you maybe need to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935124
I after some research I supose I've deleted the recovery( xrecovery area). For those who say to press any combination of keys it doesn't work.
I got the phone in service, they said it needs flash but the gay phone wont comunicate with the pc so they didn't promise anything. I will return with news.

Yes, I told you that you removed xrecovery, because it was included in the ROM that used your stock kernel. You then flashed a ROM that needs a custom kernel, and it is included in the kernel then, so not in the ROM anymore. That's why you lost it. but that has nothing to do with flashmode however
thats the reason I've got it to service. Something wrong with hardware or boot area preventing the phone getting into flashmode( I suppose)...
Thanks
thanks for the thread now I able to do more than just rooting more save
The X10 mini is up and running. He had recovery and not a CWM(as I have now).
The problems was with the USB port, and it still is but I/ve managed to get it connected with Flashtool after removing and putting back the battery while holding he back key .
After 2 service shops and 2 weeks of waiting they both said to me "There is a comunication problem with the phone. Sorry!"
So, if anyone has problems like mine, they should get their usb port changed(5-10Euros) or try for as much as they need to get the phone connected( I tryied for almost 1 hour to get the green led and another half hour to get a stable connection as it whould get in flashmode but not being recognized in flashtools PS: changing the position of the data cable by standing up or down/more to the left or more to the right helps ).
Thank you all for the feedbacks!!
Here's the scenario, 3 weeks ago, I broke the lcd of my ray. It was rooted and everything. So i sent it to a technician last week, got it repaired. But the problem is, they reprogrammed it, installed a stock rom or something. Now, when it boots up, it goes into a black screen, only the status bar on top is visible, then it reboots.
I also found out using Flashtool that my phone isn't rooted anymore. I can't access CWM anymore, and to make matters worse, the USB debugging is off, making me unable to re-root it. The technician asked me if I would want to get the motherboard replaced but I said no since it will cost me even more money.
Now, is there a way for me to turn the USB debugging of remotely on flashboot or fastboot? Or atleast root it without turning the USB debugging on?
Have you tried flashing the stock rom again or repairing with PC Companion or Sony Update Service?
You can root if you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom prerooted kernel

Thank you for your reply, I am unable to flash any rom because CWM is gone.. I can't flash a custom kernel because it's not in USB Debugging mode..
AW: [Q] USB Debugging remotely on XRay
You're holding it wrong I guess.
1. You should be able to reflash stock rom with flashtool, because flashmode should work. Shutdown phone, wait 15 seconds and hold volume down. While holding connect your phone ot PC. Now reflash the stock ftf
2. Normally (on unlocked bootloader) you should be able to flash a custom kernel even if usb debugging is disabled :good:

ohh, i just tried reflashing stock rom, but i'm stuck in a bootloop.. though around twice, it got to the lockscreen, then restart again..
I just tried flashing a custom kernel but it said that it needed to be rooted first
EDIT:
I was able to reach the menu part (i have no idea why it doesn't restart sometimes) and be able to set it up for rooting.. But once i start rooting it, it just restart and the bootloop continues..
Anyone?. I've been flashing stock roms from gb to ics but I still can't make it to the launcher.. There was one instance though when the apps were updating (just like when you flash gapps), it finished updating but right after that, it restarted and went back on a boot.. also, only the status bar is shown when it reaches homescreen, then crashes..
Hi,
Hope someone can help. I've tried to install a custom ROM today and I'm afraid I managed to brick my phone (Xperia P). Here is what i did:
I started out according to the Starters guide:
-Rooted phone
-Installed CWM
-Made a backup
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Installed JB Moonbreaker 3.5: at this point I was actually still following the starters guide, as in: wiping cache, wiping data,wiping dalvik cache and then installing from zip.
-The phone is currently stuck on the loading screen that comes after "Sony" and "Xperia" (the colorful swirling thingie)
-I can only shut it down by pressing and holding the power and volume up keys until it vibrates 3 times in a row.
-Starting with pressing volume down key repeatedly will not bring up CWM (also gets stuck on the same screen).
-Will also not fastboot anymore properly. (waiting for device for "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"; LED on device will not even light up as blue, goes to green instantly)
-In Device Manager I can see it as "Android" with a yellow exclamation mark.
-Sony PC Companion gives me the "My Sony Xperia P LT22 is connected" popup every 15 seconds but will actually not show the device as connected
I'm wondering if I can flash a stock rom on it to recover it or if there is anything else that can be done.
Thanks in advance

Can't seem to get it flashed from flashtool. I'm pressing the back button and connecting the USB and I'M just getting the same stuff on the phone, while flashtool is waiting for the phone.
I did manage to enter fastboot again though. Should I be flashing CWM from here (since I can't enter it). Or kernel then rom? I'm a bit lost.

Its volume down key and Plug in USB, to enter flashmode
Not back button.
Or flash a kernel by fastboot mode, enter CWM and install the ROM (assuming you have the zip file in the SD card )

No luck. I get a green LED and nothing happens. If I hold down volume down for really-really long then I'm back to the same boot animation.

yes green LED it is,
i hope you had the flashing process ready at the PC right ?
First make sure your phone is shut down. long press power+vol up until you feel 3 vibrations.
From there you can try fastboot mode or flash mode.

Alright done all that, still is the same. I've started to play with other USB ports and I noticed that when I get connected it tries installing the SEMC Flash device driver. It fails with "device unplugged" message exactly at the same time when when the Sony logo appears. Then it tries installing MTU USB Device as well. Reinstalled flashtool drivers and tried in different ports. It seems as if the phone is not staying in flashmode?

I recall I had that issue with wundows 7 at the beginning, what I did then was to boot my windows xp and managed to flash from there.
I have tried many things since, and if I am not mistaken it's installing flahtool drivers that fixed it finally.
I think there are 3 drivers there you need to install.

you can use emma flash tool by sony to flash your device once u get into flashboot mode(vol down den insert usb cable)
you will find it at sony developer site
did you tried to flash the rom over ICS, if yes then thats why your p got stuck at boot, coz i too got the same prob, when i tried to flash the JB moonbreaker over ICS, so what i did was pressed the power button and volume up button till 3 vibration, start flashtool and flash stock ICS firmware, but don't uncheck wipe data, otherwise you will get bootloop, after flashing is complete, now download and flash stock JB firmware, root your phone using doomlord's easy root kit or any other way you know, install cwm and now reboot into cwm flash JB stock or custom kernel and then the rom, thats it, just let me know if the prob is solved, thanks

Thanks everyone for the input, issue resolved, kernel and rom flash was successful.
Stuck on boot
Guys I have the same problem.
I wasn't satisfied with the rom I put on my phone so I went on to put another one on it.
Flashed the kernel with fastboot, went into cwm, deleted system, cache etc. and went on to flash the rom, but there was no rom zip there, and I was sure I had put it. It was probably an error during the copy procces and it just stopped, I assumed it copied.
Well, now it is just stuck on the boot screen. I can get into fastboot and cwm, but I have nothing to flash.
I tried using the Sony recovery "Emma" but it just stays blank when I connect the phone..
Is there something else I can do?

Hi
I think im facing a very similar issue, i m very new to this and therefore didnt understand the solution. I did visit the developer site for emma, but can you tell me the exact thing to do after starting Emma. I mean, when do i connect the phone and how, what commands to give. Below is explanation of how i got into this and what all ive tried.
OK i ve been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Xperia P, i looked at a number of guidelines and doing things step by step.
Since im very new to this i downloaded a few Roms. I was following the guide "http://droidors.com/2014/07/08/update-xperia-p-lt22i-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/2/" and everything was going fine. I reached the step to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", i did that and then went on the next step to boot in CWM Recovery and install the zip rom and the Gapps. During the Zip Rom install i got status 7 error.
Now, i noticed that i might have flashed the wrong Rom so rechecked the guide and installed the correct Rom which is mentioned in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-slimkat-4-4-2-release-candidate-t2657795" . But now THE PROBLEM IS, AFTER I FLASHED THE INCORRECT IMG, MY PC IS NOT RECOGNISING THE XPERIA P SAYING IT DOESNOT RECOGNISE THE DRIVERS, therefore im not able to copy the ROM Zip on the SDcard, to then run it from CWM.
After sometime i tried the below
Ok, now i tried to flash the stock Rom through this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/ftf-firmware-xperia-p-generic-world-t2322163", through flashtool to bring my phone back to life. I installed the drivers as per instructions from drivers folder, but for some reason the pc is just not accepting. I did install through this exact method yesterday night and it worked perfectly.
Please suggest. I hope im asking at the right place.
Urgent help please
I forgot to mention, after I flashed the SlimKat Rom, and things went out of hand ( till this point i could see Slimkat logo at boot and could also go in CWM Recovery ), I tried to restore through Nandroid Backup i had done. As soon i selected the restore option and then the backup file, within 2-3 seconds the phone went off, and then on boot all i can do is see "SONY" on screen. Nothing else happens.
I ve tried all this on a different machine, with different wires and different USB port, no luck
Kindly advise, im stuck with no spare phone.
Solved i guess
OK Brother,
I downloaded EMMA and am currently downloading the service. It is very self explanatory. What was amazing is when i recognised my phone "What a sight "
Flashtools wasnt able to do that, so i guess the manufacture tools are damn important ( i wasnt exactly of the opinion before )
Also it is downloading Android 4.0.4 Build 6.1.1.b.1.54, which first came on the device, which also makes me think may be i should have tried that rather than trying to flash with the JB Rom all this while.
Man, i was scared. Thanks for this thread Bro.
God Bless
Will inform once the phone is booted up to confirm it worked.
Emma Worked
OK guys, I can confirm its EMMA "Flash tool for Xperia" fixed the problem for me. It installed 4.0.4 on it.
Also there is a pdf in the Download which guides about the usage.
Sigh
Correction- it installed the latest stock ROM jb
I flashed custom rom on my phone, but after two days I wanted to get back on stock rom. I downloaded the last rom 4.1.2 and flashed it without any problem via flashtool. But it doent start. It always shows a rainbow wave. Then I downloaded other stock roms, 4.0.4 but after flashing this rom it always reboots on XPERIA sign. After it I wanted to flash custom again, but it doesnt connect in fastboot mode. I was holding volume up key and connecting usb but it was starting charging. Why does it happens?
