When I try to boot my phone, the sony logo shows up and then nothing happens. I have CWM installed but pressing vol. down doesn't open the recovery. I tried to flash stock firmware using flashtool, but when I connect phone in flashmode/fastboot mode, the phone connects properly for about 10 seconds, then boots and again stuck at sony logo.
I know I'm supposed to connect only when flashtool says to connect the phone, and doing just that but still not working. Please help!

It'sa good thing you forgot to mention what windows version you are on or ig you have used flashtool before on that PC so we can waste some time while you waiting for help.
Is your phone completely turned off when you are trying to connect in flash mode?

Sorry. I'm on Windows 8, and yes, I've used flashtool before. I also tried to flash from a different pc with windows 7, and the same problem is there.
Yes, phone is completely turned off when trying to connect in flash mode.

@hoodakaushal
I assumed you used it before, I asked if you have used it on that PC.
Try latest version of flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/
See the FAQ for instructions to install on windows 8.
Also, USB 3 ports won't work, so use USB 2 ports or if you don't have those look at the BIOS for option to switch from xHCI to EHCI.

Did you try to post in the same thread you got the instruction?
So have unplug the device but the LED green light is on? the Vol+ & power together till three vibrates didn't work?
Yes thats right if i unplug the device the LED goes out but when i push the power button it just flashes green and nothing happens, I've tried the volume up + power it vibrates 3 times like normal but when i push the power button the same happens green LED flash
no I haven't tried that I'll post it in there now cheers for the advice
flash the firmware again, and when you plug in the phone, hold the volume down button only, you dont have to hold the power one, it should go into flash mode now

unplug the cable from your phone, then hold the vol + and power till vibrates three times. now your phone is off,
lunch flashtool and initiate the flashing process with ICS firmware and hold vol - and plug the phone in, see if that works.
Sony developer on the forum believe that no one could hardly brick a Sony phone.
it wont let me flash ftf as it keeps dropping out of flashmode then re entering it flashtool is saying
-ERROR flashing aborted
-device disconnected
-device connected in flashmode
over and over again, I can get it into fastboot mode is there anyway I can re flash ftf in fastboot through cmd?
I think the battery might be dead now when I connect it all i get is a red LED
Hello!
It appears I have the same issue with xperia pro. After flashing the official 4.0.4 rom with flashtool the log says:
Code:

The phone doesn't respond, the green led is on.
Have you been able to restore the phone functioning?
---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
Ah, it's okay. I re-flashed the phone with a different rom and now it is working fine.

Calm down dude. Grab flashtool. Set flashmode and choose your stock ROM. And just flash it through vol down key and plug in USB to your phone. It is just a soft-brick. No need to worry much.

@Ali Suhaimi
Id the phone turned off before you start flashing?
Did you install the drivers from flashtool located in drivers directory? You need to install 4, the one for Sola and flash and fastboot mode that are at the bottom of the list.
Before you flash just leave flashtool open and connect in flash mode, and see it stays connected for about 45 seconds.
Yes i've done all.. but the problem is i forgot to enable USB Debugging before flashing it.. and now the flashtool need the USB debugging to be enabled and i cant turn on the phone,.

Bo USB devugging has absolutely nothing to do with flasg mode as was posted before vy Little Zed.
What is your windows version?
Please post a log of dlashtool fr connecting in flash mode. Do not flush anything just open flashtool and connect in flash mode.
I have two questions regarding flashtool. Before connect my phone i enable USB debugging.
When i try to connect my phone in flash mode, after few seconds it automatically reboot to flashmode. When it reboot i can see kernel boot logo. It keep rebooting to the flashmode. In addition to that, when the phone automatically reconnecting, flashtool display "USB debugging off". Why is that?
If i connect my phone after boot (normally), flashtool identify my phone WT19 as "ST17". I try to edit it in flashtool "Device>Edit", but it again identify my phone as "ST17". Why is that?

On which software version are you currently on? Can you flash a wt19i firmware now on your device? Or does this fail/gives you an error?
Did you flash the wrong kernel?
Try reflashing the stock kernel/rom.

Hello all.
Please help me. I've committed a grave mistake. I bought my Xperia Ray about 2 months ago(It stopped showing up in retail stores, bought it online for a good price from a reputed online store, brand new.) After loads of thinking and looking at the pros and cons, and gaining some basic knowledge, I decided to root it today. I was following this guide: [Link] I'm new so XDA wont let me put it. Google Root Your Xperia Phone Without Voiding Warranty. Click the first link. Site is mytechencounters.wordpress.com.
Everything was going well. Sort of. Flashtool would show an error while trying to flash. I installed the drivers from the flashtool drivers folder, connected my phone in flash mode and started flashing. Then I realized that wipe data, wipe cache and wipe app log were checked. So I disconnected my phone. It was about 40-60 % done. Now it is not switching on. When I hold the power button, it gives that short vibration like it's supposed to before switching on, but it doesn't switch on. When I connect it, flashtool shows phone connected then disconnected again and again in its log. I hope I haven't bricked my phone. Please help me. Stock ROM 2.3.4. Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Please help me. My dad is away for a few days. If he returns and finds out, I'm dead! :crying:
Thanks in advance.
can you still get in to flashmode? take out the battery, wait for about 30 seconds and reconnect in flashmode (connect usb to pc first, the connect phone to usb while holding volume down) the LED light should turn green if you're in flashmode.
If you can enter flashmode, you can easily flash back the stock rom and kernel and have your phone running again.

It does seem to get into flash mode. How do I make it return to stock?
****. Flash mode seems messed up. I looked around the web, and found out that I can go back to stock using PC Companion. I tried that but neither that nor anything else will work because the phone disconnnects and reconnects again and agian and again on its own. I tried other USB ports too but same problem. Oh God I'm doomed I've bricked my phone just after 2 months! :crying: :crying: :crying:

Thanks I'll try that out. The guy says that I have to uninstall PC Companion and Sony drivers before installing SEUS. Necessary? Because installing them was a pain. Also, SEUS will install the latest ROM. Does that mean ICS? I really don't want ICS right now. Stock 2.3.4 with Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62 is what I need.

I don't bricked (yet) my ray, so i don't know. I think you must uninstall them, to get new drivers working. If SEUS (or SUS) flashed new rom and is ICS, then you can allways flash GB ftf any time you want via flashtool.

I think this won't work, because it's necessary to flash after doing an ota update on unlocked bootloader...
@OP have you installed all drivers from flashtool -> drivers? Try it on another PC and connect the phone only after there is the popup to connect. Turn phone off, hold volume down and while holding it plug the usb, it will start flashing automaticly
If this won't work, bring it to a local shop or send it to sony and you can hope they will repair your software :good:

I guess I have to go to the service center after all. Let's give this one last shot though.
If you've followed this thread from the beginning, you know my phone wasn't booting. So, I installed SEUS and clicked update while my phone was connected. SEUS downloaded and installed the latest official ICS ROM. My phone started and was working alright(I anticipated all the lag and instability, no surprises there). Now, I tried to downgrade back to GB, specifically to the .42 build. My phone came with .62 out of the box. .42 since I was going to root, then do an OTA update to .62. There. A happy, rooted GB phone. Now, I have everything needed to flash it. Tried flashing it to GB .42 but alas. here is my log:

According to the log it looks like you have connected phone before selecting the ftf, right? Select the ftf first and only after the popup appears, now hold volume up and while holding volume up connect phone with usb to pc!

According to the log it looks like you have connected phone before selecting the ftf, right? Select the ftf first and only after the popup appears, now hold volume up and while holding volume up connect phone with usb to pc!

No problem mate! Any more questions just ask :good:
I hope everything works again!
Hello everyone, it's noob number #16723009. This poor noob in question was so fascinated by the world of rooting , kernels and roms, so he got a bit too far ahead of himself! So I experimented with rooting my Sony Xperia Go and trying a few different Rom's. End result: Sony bootscreen brick.
And unfortunately no backups were made.
So this is order of actions:
1) root with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 XDA link
2) installed Clockwork Mod recovery XDA link
3) in CWM Recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache
4) in CWM Recovery install zip from sdcard: Speedydroid v15 XDA link , in Aroma I deleted "unnecessary" bloatware (resulting with a semi-functional rom, nice fast and snappy but for instance pictures didn't open)
5) Same procedure as nr 3.
6) in CWM recovery install zip from sdcard: TheBrainsRom v4 XDA link , (resulting in a continous loop between sony and the rom bootscreen).
7) PANIC PANIC! in CWM recovery under mounts and storage menu : format system or format cache (don't remember)
Finally resulting me with a phone, which hangs at SONY logo. Volume up + powerbutton reset works.
I tried Flashtool's flashmode to install the stockrom, resulting in red" ERROR, flash aborted" in the log. Sometimes the Sony PC companion popup with " Sony xperia go connected" comes up while I'm trying to flash, but it disappears in ~5 secs. So when I hold the Volume Down button when I connect the usb cable, the indicator light does go Green, but it turns red in ~5 sec and the phone goes back to the SONY logo

I also tried PC companion "repair my phone" option. Nothing just happens after Vol Down + usb cable in procedure.
Also the same problem with Sony Update Service.
I have googled and read stuff about this issue for solid 8 hours, no one seems to have the same exact issue. Should I start thinking of it as paperweight or is there hope ?
U r not connecting the phone properly while flashing
Make sure phone is off and disconnected
Go to flashtool and select ur file and click flash
Now it will prepare files and ask u to connect ur phone
When it asks ,make sure ur phone is switched off
Just press the volume down button ( keep it pressed) and connect to usb and wait for flashing to b finished

Have you tried holding volume + and power button, you should see one white flash keep holding and you should see three more flashes. If that worked you may be able to get into flash mode. (copied from another thread)

that's a start, try different ways. Like holding volume+ power untill 3 white flashes, then plug in to the usb. Or the other way around. It should work but you (maybe) have to try a lot of times.

your tablet should get and stay in flash mode / fastboot, then you can flash the original firmware through flashtool. I don't think TWRP will ever startup...

glad it's alive again! For that error at point 21 I can't help you. You've got to ask your question in that thread I guess!
