If he has unlocked bootloader he can't fix his device via pc companion.
Which device uses? Are you sure he installed a cwm for the device he uses?
Please post here the link of the cwm he used and the device he uses.

Are you sure you installed a cwm based on the firmware you use? Which firmware are you using? Which rom? ics? gb? jb?

Try flashing stock Rom again.
Download an ics ftf file from development section here and flash it via flashtool. I recommend you the .54. Root it and when you're done let me know.

Since you are on unblocked bootloader flash this kernel if you want, it's a great one. Prerooted, with integrated cwm recovery and there is an overclocked version too. here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299748
Read carefully the instruction on how to install this kernel. Note that you have to install one of this version of firmware: 6.1.1.B.1.54. You can find this version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028139
Enjoy!

I looked in sony forum here and they say you have to relock bootloader (but flash stock kernel first and I don't know where you can get the stock kernel to download) to update via pc companion or update service
So just look around for the untweaked stock kernel or make a new thread where you are searching for it

download the ftf file of the stock rom and using this thread to extract ftf files you can get kernel.sin which can be flashed.
Am I right?

I don't know exactly.
But if it's like this, you needn't extract it. Just open flashtool and click on the flash -> flashmode -> and there you can exclude all files like system etc and just kernel is unmarked, so it will flash only the kernel...
Just flash stock kernel again, then download stock firmware and flash it via Flashtool
flash ftf on Flashtool
confusion as a simple thing to download your official Stock ROM file in ftf format. After applying via FlashTool in modol FlashBoot only that. Kernel Standard ja is automatically installed and all its default settings.
: Rir:
People, people...why post when you don't know what you're talking about??. The reason stock ftf gets flashed is because it already contains stock kernel!! duh!
About unlocked bl, you only need to relock it if you plan on updating through pcseus, which isn't vital since you can flash any firmware from downloaded ftf, aside from that there are no other pros or cons to unlocked bl
now its all done, just updated wit pc companion, worked well. but now i need to root my device to use titanium backup.
is the latest version of android are possible to root?
Flash any rooted kernel, people have reported extended and mesa to be working fine. (if bootloader is unlocked)
Otherwise this method is also reported to be working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26914104#post26914104

Download official stock firmware from Sony site and flash it via flashtool.. Now to relock bootloader. Google the query and you'll get the solution easily...

You need to relock bl, if u used the test point method then u need to start S1 Tool and click Restore button, but if u used the official method, u will need to flash this with flash tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?1ytip94lm2yojjl and then u will be able to update with SE PC

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
Hi All,

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
