I rooted my xperia ray this morning and installed The Beautiful ICS ROM from sd card. When the phone was rebooting after the installation, it is stuck on the SONY logo and doesn't respond . Tried fixing it by using pc companion but was no use as it was showing some sort of an error . Mine is an unlocked bootloader. Please help me ASAP

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

I flashed and rooted my thing successfully. I tried to flash the one in this thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065116 .And i tried flashing it with some other kernel but was in vain
did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
if yes, then you might need to flash your stock rom....(i may be wrong on this one)
Did you do the correct wipes?? Also I hope that you didn't wiped the system.....
Press THANKS if I helped,

This is called bootloop... Just use flashtool to flash stock kernel.. No other way..

Thanks it worked . But whenever i am trying to flash it with some other rom i am being stuck at the sony screen only. I am unable to use any other rom except the stock rom
To flash any other rom use CWM not flastool.. The complete procedure is:
Go to cwm wipe cache, factory reset, format sysrem, wipe delvin than locate zip via sd card install zip of u stock rom... Njoy...

You can't possibly search for 3 hours, it's in stickys or first page. You just need to update firmware, root, install cwm, and install the rom. you don't even need a custom kernel

Okay so here is an update thanks for the help:
Updated the Rom
Managed to Root Phone got super user access
Installed X-Parts
Install CWF
Located the Rom I wanted to install, installed it, went to 100% ticked reboot. Now my phone is stuck at the Sony Logo
Any ideas?
I think i've managed to unbrick it and restore it to the official stock ROM. really confused as why it got bricked in the first place...I selected all the correct options on the rom very confused, I think I'm not going to risk another attempt at Xperia Ultimate HD ROM. Can anyone see where I went wrong?
Maybe you did something wrong while formatting?

Bad wipes? You should read installation instructions. Usually is wipe data, wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik, and then install

Our device's recovery don't support flashing .IMG or .sin files, so flashing kernel in recovery is not possible...unlike Samsung phones which can flash kernel in recovery our phones can flash it in fastboot mode only...

Guys, I want some help.
I just upgrade my Xperia U using Pc Companion and I got this Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
I tried to Root via Flashtool, via Byn4ry root files and nothing worked.
Can anyone provide me a link where I can root my sweat Phone?
Thanks in advance
To root that firmware you need to first flash B.10 kernel then Root and then again .54 kernel
Flash only Kernel of 6.1.1.B.1.10
Root with Bin4ry V13 (New version doesn't work)
Once rooted, flash only kernel from the .54
Can i flash kernels with locked bootloader?

You need to flash 6.1.1.B.10 in order to root ur phone
1) flash b1.10 kernel via flashtool (dont wipe anything, exclude everthng except kernel)
2) root via flashtool or bin4ry
3) flash 6.1.1.B.54 kernel back

Whenever you manually flash a stock firmware either 2.3 or 4 u have to root it again. Don't flash the whole rom, just flash the b.10 kernel, root using bin4ry, and again flash just .54 kernel.
bin4ry

Ok......all done!
In case anybody else is having the same problem this is what i did.
I used bin4ry on my up to date unrooted xperia U. Android version 4.0.4 build 6.1.1.B.1.10.
I was getting errors saying "adb server out of date" but i left it to go to the end anyway.
restarted my phone but when it came to enter my password for my sim card the screen was faded. so i re-flashed the up to date android version again making my phone unrooted again!
then tried bin4ry again and this time it worked without any adb errors and restarted the phone to find that i have superuser app and all is good.
Thanks for previous posts offering help..

Good. You should always check the drivers if they are installed correctly or not.
-Connect your device to PC
-Open Flashtool.
-Goto Help, Check drivers.
-List of ADB devices must be present.

You need JB Kernel for booting JB ROM , you use ICS kernel to boot JB ROM which is impossible , so you have to flash back stock ftf to retain back your device
Edit : You need to unlock BL in order to flash custom kernel

If you are worried about unlocking your bootloader, then flash ROMS which can be used on both locked and unlocked bootloaders.
For eg: Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0,
Ice Cream Pureness..
And there are a lot more ROM for Locked Bootloaders too. I prefer Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0 with Stock kernel as it giving good battery life.
I get about 2.5 days battery life under normal mobile usage.
