So my Xperia Ray has the display problem with the backlight lighting up only without the display.
I'm trying to install CyanogenMod based on thie
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_urushi
But when the device is supposed to enter ClockworkMod Recovery, I cant see a thing!
Now I cant start my phone!

You mean the display of your phone never lights up? Or is it working on your rom?

Normally my phone works, but occasionally only the backlight turns on with the screen blank.
But now I tried installing CM9.1, at the part where Im supposed to install CM from the zip file, i cant because the display wont show (but the backlight is on).
Turning off the phone and turning it on wont work

This means you soft bricked your device probably... if you are able to enter into Flasmode then do install the stock ICS .13 ftf file to get your phone working

I have the same problem. I've flashed almost every ftf and custom kernels with no success. Sometimes the phone will boot normally (screen on), but once it get to sleep mode the screen stays black with backlight on.
At first rebooting the device would solve this but every day goes worst, now it need a day to start normally.
I think this is hardware problem but i am not a technician to solve this.
If someone thinks otherwise please write a solution.

Hi guys, I've installed many CFW without problem, until I installed the latest PACMan build. I didn't like it so I reflashed the Hasa v6, that i've been using for a while, and the phone just got kind of "crazy". I tried to wipe/format/wipe delvik, flash another rom via recovery, flash the stock FW with flashtool, still the problem continue.. I'll try t make a short list of the problems:
- Lockscreen usually hangs the phone, screen goes all black and playing with the power, after a while, it goes back sometimes
- Some force-closes (mainly the system process)
- Sometimes I can't boot to CWM, the "back" and "option" touch-buttons keep lit, and that's it, sometimes I can
- Also the battery status doesn't seem to be working properly, I charge it and it never pass the 30% mark, or get stuck on a number beforr it
How can I do a "brute-force" wipe, or something like that to restore my phone to it's normal state? These issues are driving me mad, and I can't see a solution..
Thank you very much!
The device is a Sk17i Mini Pro
Try flashing a kernel like LuPuS v3 or MESA Hybrid v3.7 via Fastboot and then flash the latest ROM that was working flawlessly.
Thanks, I tried with mesa and Lupus and after that, the same issues seem to occur..
Adding problems:
- I started having the "build prop" error, always when I flash CM-based roms, and I never had this issue before these problems (I do the workaround to install them by editing them with notepad++ and removing first lines..)
- The phone, once in a while, stay with the back and menu buttons lit for ages..
- The phone doens't turn off completely (menu and back and the screen stay lit, the screen is black, but it's ON), the only way to truly turn off is removing the battery..
- When I choose "power off" from the bootloader, the same issue occurs, the screen stay lit in black and phone doesn't turn off..
Please help.. I just don't know what is happening and it is so frustrating.
Hello.
I have rooted the xperia U using the flashtool by following a guide available on xda. Everything worked fine. I wanted to install a custom rom for which I had unlock my bootloader and flash a custom recovery for flashing the rom. I downloaded and flashed cwm. So I unlocked the bootloader using the official method, i flashed the boot.img of the custom rom(in fastboot) and tried to go to recovery, but my phone wouldn't switch ON now.
I was able to make it reach flashboot mode(green) and tried flashing ftf.. Even that's not working.
The service update software is not even detecting my phone.
Please help.:crying:
When you say, not switching on, can you feel it vibrate when you push the power button?
Also whats the error you receive on flashtool?
Yes, i do
But the screen is blank and I can only see the red notification light

May be you flashed wrong kernel, which is not for your phone.
Try to charge the phone for a few hours and after thats try flashmode again to flash stock rom...
same problem
Actually I am facing the same issue u had with your Sony xperia u. Please help.
Charge the battery, seems gone flat. Leave it on charge for half an hour or so. If that doesn't work maybe the software is corrupted to the point it doesn't cold boot to charge, so charge battery separately using external charger for half an hour or so. It should be able to boot at least to flash mode (Vol Down + Power).
Currently bought a sch-i905 4g lte verizon galaxy tablet.
Boots normally, and functions.
Last night i was writing a bootloader through odin, and accidently had auto reboot checked. I was unable to write the modem/kernel that goes with it and now have a galaxy tablet that boots into the OS just fine.
The problem now is though that i can not get my tablet/computer to communicate in download mode it says "waiting for cable"
as well as my recovery is a black screen of doom.
Through rom manager when boot the tablet up i can see that clock work is installed just not boot properly..
I need some help here guys since this is outside my knowledge of fixing.
i can boot into the android OS, but when i charge it while its on it wont actually charge, the X is over the battery, but if i leave it off i can charge it just fine.

unfortunately when i use download mode, it only shows "waiting for cable" no matter what pc, what driver, and what cable i use.
If i boot into normal android, the drivers load fine, i can transfer files etc . just cant recognize it in download mode.
so without recognition from download mode,
a blanked/blacked out recovery mode
im not sure how to fix it.

its under my impression that hard reset will not fix download mode or recovery mode.
well, i did a factory reset, and now my tablet just goes to the samsung tablet 10.1 and still boots up with an ALL BLACK screen.
once its completely turned on, I can hit the power button to dim it, then i hit the power button and all is well im back to android os.
now you've fixed my battery charging issue while my tablet is on, so i am forever grateful.
Next 2 things to fix:
Download Mode & Recovery
thoughts?

My device is not powering on because it shows that the battery level is low even though it's not.
A couple days ago my device just powered off without a prompt or anything. I was using my browser and all of a sudden it powered off. I tried to turn it on but got nothing. Then I connected it to the charger and the display showed the battery icon and the LED showed red. I tried powering on then but it wouldn't start. The Sony logo would come up and then go off again. This happened a couple times and I connected and disconnected it from the charger a couple times and after a moment it started normally. It happened again later but started back up after connecting it to a charger. The next day it happened again with the Sony logo showing and turning off again continuously and all the while the LED is red. Blinking red twice, showing the battery icon, then the Sony logo and turning off again. But now its not showing anything. I connect it to a charger which shows a red battery icon for a few seconds and then black screen but with red LED. I had LineageOS rom installed so I thought to flash stock ROM again which might solve the problem but now I can't get the device in flashmode to flash the ftf.
(IDK if this is relevant or no but a year and maybe half ago I had a problem with the battery. The phone took about 5-6 hrs of charging and discharged in 4-5 minutes. I went to the service centre and they told me it was a software problem which they fixed.)
Can anyone suggest on what to do? Any help will be appreciated.

this might seem irrelevant but trust it isn't, if you have the TA partition already backed up you should restore it, when you do your problem would be solved, I had same issues, and it turns out that the TA partition contains everything the phone should do to boot up, and what to do, its like a blueprint that the phone follows, I restored the phones TA partition and everything was fine again, flash advanced kernel TWRP via fastboot in flashtool, and instal a stock firmware from there and as soon as you can boot the phone in the system restore the TA partition and flash stock ROM via the Xperia Companion, Thats exactly how I solved my issue

1. hold the off button and the volume button for atleast a minute. (ignore any vibration)
2. charge your phone until the green light turns on. (make sure phone is off, don't charge while its on the blue screen)
3. turn on your phone

are you rooted or on pure stock ? if you installed the ROM using flashtool please go to Xperia Companion and try, if not unlock your bootloader again flash Advanced Kernel, and flash a Custom ROM lets say (RR 7.1.2) and see if the phone boots up

Flashed RR 7.1.2 but its stuck on bootloop. Same with Carbon Rom. Only lineage seems to work.
Any ideas?
Edit: Installed RR again.. it booted up

Hello !
So 2-3 months ago I flashed my phone and installed Lineage OS, everything was working perfectly
But today, I was on Snapchat sending a message and my phone turned off for no reason, I tried turning it on, I get the message that my device is untrusted as usual, Sony logo, then it crashes and shutdown.
I tried to boot on recovery mode with TWRP but it won't and crashes.
I also noticed that when I turn on my phone I sometime get a weird pattern on the screen, just like when a GPU is dead on PC.
Anyone has also encountered this problem ? If so, is there a way to fix it ? I don't mind turning back to stock OS as long as it works again.
Thanks for your help !
Alright, so I had some ideas but none of them worked :
- Using XperiaCompanion (Since I unlocked the bootloader it can't help)
- Tried plugging the phone to my pc while holding power down, used ADB, listed devices but it doesn't show up
Is my phone bricked ?
Try flashing stock firmware using Flashtool or Emma.
