This is my first time at this forum.
My Xperia ray was showing a blank screen,it wouldn't start up.
oOn pressing the power button, screen shows SONY and then shows a exclaimation mark.
By reading some of the forums I installed some flashtools...now the mobile on powering on,just blinks red on the lower curve,where it used to blink green earlier.
Now it won't even start.
Kindly HELP!!!
One more thing, On connecting it with EMMA,it reads THIS PHONE IS LOCKED!!
By "installing some flashtools", do you mean flashing the stock rom?
Is your phone's battery charged?
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3
is your battery charged? are you on stock rom? try to flash stock firmware by Flashtool or repair your phone using official Sony software (SUS, or Sony PCC ... I dont remember which of those has repair option)
Sony PC Companion has the repair option....

Hi all,
After Flashing my XPERIA MINI PRO to 4.0.2.A.0.42 from WOTAN SERVER, my phone can no longer connect to WIFI. Also, my phone has no vibrate except if you will turn it on. Any fix you guys know?
Maybe you should try to reflash it with SEUS now.

oh.....i forgot to ask another thing.if i flash this stock rom, am i able to flash new kernels any more.
You are able to flash custome kernels as long as you have unlocked bootloader, if you relock it youll only be able to flash stock kernels via flashtool, correct me someone if I'm wrong

If you relock your bootloader after flashing stock rom (which I think is neccessary for updating to official ics BUT I'm not sure) you need to unlock it again and then you'll be able to flash new kernels.

But you need not lock your bootloader. You can download flashtool and then flash the ftf files that you will get here in XdA as soon as the update is released. So that way your bootloader remains unlocked, and yet you will be running 4.0.4.

if u lock your boot-loader then you cant install custom kernel... but as long as your boot-loader unlocked you can install any kind of sk17i kernel!!

Agree. relocking is neccessary for OTA updates & since ICS wouldn't be over the air so you don't need to relock your bootloader. But I prefer to keep my bootloader locked when I'm on stock rom because there might be some OTA updates in the future

Correct. So Lasanda should just use flashtool and flash the ftf he will get once the update is online. Its simple.

But I think once you relock your bootloader that doesn't matter which way you did unlock it & either way works to update the phone. Am I right?

No, you have to upgrade to ics (using flashtool if you want), but root gingerbread before, because ics by sony is unrootable (just able to root with flashing prerooted kernel or use kernel trick with for example neo kernel or downgrade-upgrade method with local-prop).
Use that method to root ics and install cwm. Flash the rom via cwm and done
Another thing.
Not quite a problem but why does my IMEI have 15 character instead of 14?

Okay,so you want to unlock bootloader or what? If yes, to unlock you just type the first 14 numbers, this will work. Or was that just a general question? The IMEI has 15 numbers, but for unlocking you just type in the first 14

This is for locked bootloader to root ics, for unlocked just flash a prerooted kernel (this is a boot.img)

Look in the rom thread its wriiten that "locked boot-loader should get nAa's recovery". Search for it & ur problem would b solved. & u can always get ur bootloader unlocked which gives u full control over ur phone
Good morning. Yesterday, I tried to update my Sony Ericsson Xperia U, from version 2.3.7 to version 4.0.4 with the official software of sony. After upgrading, I noticed that the performance was very bad, and wanted to go back to version 2.3.7 again. I searched this forum, and I did with the Flashtool and st25i Iberia stock 2.3.7 rom. My surprise was that after flashing and booting the phone, the touch screen had stopped working, ie unresponsive. After this disaster, I picked up the official Sony software to try to return the version 4.0.4 in order to revive the mobile, but unfortunately, the touch screen was not working. Do not understand what happens, and do not know how to fix it. I have read similar threads in this forum, but can not locate the solution. Can you help? Could have lost the warranty?

Warranty is void once the bootloader is unlocked... :victory: not by being updating the phone that s for sure
Ok

Ok.
No, the bootloader has not been changed, and the phone is not root. Furthermore, the bootloader is locked. It's impossible unlock it. The other information I can not give it, because I can not access it. The phone does not respond, and I can not get into the phone information. I upgrade the phone with sony companion software to android 4.0.4 yesterday. When I saw the android 4 is not going fast, I did the following roms flash with flashtool.
http://dfiles.eu/files/slix4vr06 --> 2.3.7 --> The touch screen doesn't work after flash this version
http://uploaded.net/file/6wqdbixb --> 4.0.4 --> The touch screen doesn't work after flash this version.
upgrade with sony companion software --> 4.0.4 --> The touch screen doesn't work after upgrade with sony official software.
Can you help me in another way?
try to flash with this one and i don t know then if its the same ask someone else sorry :silly:

I tried yet, but It doesn't work. The touch screen is dead. It's very strange. Could be flashtool the problem?
Dont think so...sounds more like theres a driver not loadind in kernel or bootload i dont think prob com from the rom anyways i cant help u more than that sorry dude... Flash stock kernel u will see
depuis mon Xperia P avec Tapatalk 2
Most common cause of touchscreen failure is flashing ftf of different device like go or sola
Bt both ur links points to st25i fw which seems legitimate
I suggest u should submit it to service center and behave like a noob
Tell them u u upgraded to newer version with sony software and it didnt worked
Edit - u can flash manually touchscreen fw via cwm bt that would require the highest level of expertise ...
