My Ray has a weird Brick like condition..
I can access CWM, got ot Flash and Fastboot mode, install zip ROMs and FTF ROMS, but all I get is the SE logo - never beyond that.
The PC Companion does not recognize the phone.. where it should show the cennected Device's model number, it shows "(null)"
It All started when I installed installed a new Kernel (was on Fusion for over a Year, but My Battery drained fast when I tried KitKat (Beanstalk) so I thought maybe changing Kernel would help. At first I lost ToutchScreen (even in CWM)
Than I tried several other ROM's and Kernels.. still no touchscreen.. until This happened.
I have tried: relocking BL, UnRooting, installing several Kernels and ROMS - custom and stock (GB, ICS, JB)
PC Companion has told me 2 things: I have custom software and there is no software available for My phone
Also tried with Emma - it did its thing, but as You guessed - Nothing.
Xperia Update Service tells Me the same as PC Companion: nothing to update - already latest version (even with GB)
Also I have read through countles post's and tutorials how to UnBrick.. so far nothing helped. Did not really find a similar case
Currently it is UnRooted and Bootloader is ReLocked.

One more thing.. it is not charging.. It has been on the cable for the better part of a day,
but the Battery voltage is ~3,75V (about 5-10%)
Update: When I insert the USB Cable, it goes to Flash mode (without holding any buttons) and in 40 seconds Flashtool says Disconnected and the charging picture appears for a few seconds, and than starts charging.
Any Ideas ?!
Did you relock your bootloader with setool? I revived my totally dead phone (it wouldn't even power up, only green led blinks), I killed phone with OTA update on unlocked bootloader.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Neo V mit Tapatalk 2
Relocked it with Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf
ReLocking did not cause the problem. I relocked it to restore phone with PC Companion (which did not work)

Did you try first to flash stock kernel or stock firmware then to relock bootloader?
Yes, after the crash, I flashed both Custom and Stock ROM's and Kernels.
Than restored Root and BootLoader and flashed ROM's and Kernels again.
the kernel seems to be working, otherwise it would not charge.
and the system should be on there, because the PC Companion tells Me I have the latest software installed.

Unlock bootloader flash this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46895025&postcount=40.
Also, if this didn't helped try fastboot clear commands (system, data... search in xda forums for this) then flash custom kernel.
I just recently ReLocked the bootloader. It was unlocked over a year before this happened..
I have cleared pretty much everything in CWM and Flashtool
I have tried GB, ICS and JB stock firmwares
So, as You can read from above, I have already tried what You suggested

I am saying that your problem is in kernel. How on earth you flash kernel when your bootloader is locked?
You didn't try any of my suggestions - except you flashed firmware probably with locked bootloader.
btw your "above" post is changed
stock FTF firmwares should have Kernels with them..
at least the Kernel image (when starting the phone) changes each time I flash a new ROM
Emma says that the Phone is locked
But now, when I tried to flash the one You suggested, the Flashtool gives an Error while starting the flash.
So I'll unlock BL and try again...
After Unlocking the BL Still the same: Error flashing. Aborted
Same with other ftf files...
edit: cant flash anything in Flashmode.. always an error.
fastboot mode works well.. installed few Kernels - no change, installed few Custom ROM's in CWM - again nothing.
edit2: btw.. all of the kernels which support touchscreen, mine does not work (CTCaer Kernel looks awesome.. too bad its touch Only - so i cant use the CWM part at all)
Emma also show's I have a correct ROM on it
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdj1by4xbw132zp/emma.jpg
So...
Kernel should be OK (currently on Fusion.. again)
ROM looks OK
theoretically all should work ?
What could cause this... Hardware ?
The phone will automatically go to charging process if you are not doing anything on your phone while it's in Flashmode.

Try this
1. Install all necessary drivers like flashmode and fastboot drivers.
2. Re-download the FTF for your phone and make sure that the FTF that you download is for Xperia Ray. Maybe there is a problem with the file.
2. Exit PC Companion or Sony Update Service (don't let it run in the background because it will interfere with the Flashtool and make sure there is no logo of them on the bottom-right corner where you can see your PC time.) Unlock the bootloader of your phone. Flashtool can do the unlocking. Just search for the tutorial here on XDA.
3. Go to Flashtool and click the "thunder logo" for flashing FTFs and kernels.
4. Select Flashmode and select the FTF that you have re-downloaded.
5. Flashtool will load the FTF for flashing. A window pop-up will appear after the FTF is fully loaded and ready to be flash.
6. This is the time where you are going to connect the phone into the PC and make your phone go to Flash mode where the LED light becomes green.
7. When the PC successfully installed the drivers and the Flashtool detected your phone then the flashing of the FTF will automatically start.
8. Wait for the flashing to be finished. When the flashing finished, unplug the phone from the PC and USB cable and turn on your phone.
9. When the phone turned on and the software is fully loaded then relock the bootloader of your phone.
10. If you want, reinstall the firmware with PC Companion or Sony Update Service.

why you want to relock bootloader? try dont relock bootloader...
1. unlock the bootloader
2. flash stock rom ftf
3. flash kernel ics based stock (dont turn on the phone after flash from stock rom ftf)
4. install the rom ics based.
5. turn on your phone..
if everythings is okay maybe you can relock the bootloader...
I relocked the Bootloader to use PC Companion (it wont touch a phone with Locked BL)
I unlocked it again, flashed stock ftf and kernel (tried several stock ftf's - GB, ICS, JB)
still the same: turn on - stuck on "Sony Ericsson" logo
is there anything I can do in ADB.. through Console ?!

can you enter into CWM? if you can enter into CWM.. juz check the soft key.. if not work.. so your screen need to be replace..
No, the soft key's are not working.
Broken Digitizer should not affect phones software functions.. or does it ?!
After I lost touchscreen, I installed 2-3 new ROMS's that booted up, but still no Touch.
and Than this happened - Stuck on kernel load image.
Before I buy another Digitizer I want to make sure, the phone is working...
I Just replaced it about a month ago...
Also tried the WotanServer - software crashes as soon as I plug in the phone

I'll try that when I get home.. Thank You.. I really appreciate the effort
edit: unfortunately I could'nt do it.. There's no Rage Kernel for Xperia Ray.. I tried the other phone kernels just in case, but no help.
So... still at the same situation

So you did the inevitable... you got a phone that's bricked.. fear not.. this happens to all of us.. consider it a "right of passage" when it comes to dealing with custom ROM's
Here at xda, help is never too far away (I was there once too)
I've tried to get you back to functioning latest Local 2.1 with recovery (xrecovery)
0) You'll lose all data with this method....
come to terms with that... not stuff on the sd card but data of your phone, sms'es, contacts, applications etc
1) Turn off your phone
Pull the battery and reinsert it if you have to...
2) Install Flashtool
go here and downlad flashtool
Install on your windows pc
Thank Androxyde and Bin4ry for this kickass tool
3) Download and flash stock 2.1
Go to this thread and download a 2.1 rom in your language of choice (Dont worry that it's not your local ROM)
4) Flash this rom using Flashtool
In the first link there is a how-to. follow it and flash the downloaded ROM from step 3
Once you have 2.1 on your phone,
5) Enable USB Debugging and Root
Use flashtool and root your phone using the simple button "Root" (I know!! what an awesome tool right!!?? )
Once rooted, disconnect the phone.
6) Get yourself a root file manager
Download a file manager capable of root access such as root explorer or solid explorer.
7) Access and edit the build.prop file
Open the file manager. U should get a superuser prompt to allow root access. Touch "Allow". Go to /system and mount the system as RW. there's a file there called build.prop. open it in a text editor. Find all instances of a number that looks like this 1238-9045 (this is my build number, yours will not be the same). Edit this number(all 3 instances) to look like your build number (Found on original box or behind the battery). Save the file and exit
8) Update via SEUS OR PC companion
Now connect your phone back. PC companion or SEUS will tell you there is a new update available. follow the instructions and you'll be running the latest 2.1 for your region and variant of the mini pro
9) [optional] Root and recovery
The new firmware installed by SEUS/PC companion is not rooted. If you need it, root again (same way as in step 5). once rooted, click "Ask root perms" on flashtool. Once root access is confirmed, install xrecovery from the menu.
Hope that helped!
Enjoy
Edit: if you get an error while opening flashtool saying "JVM could not be started because heap size bla bla bla..." Please try on another pc and maybe reinstall windows on urs

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion.
Step A: leave your phone disconnected from your PC
Step B: Run SEUS/PC Companion, and select update
Step C: It doesn't recognise your phone because it's disconnected and give you a repair option
Step D: Select it, choose your model, it will download the firmware
Step Ea: You get a popup, Press the back-button on your phone while it's off and plug in the USB-Cable
Step Eb: If you can't turn off your phone, plug in the USB-cable and press home- and power-buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot and enter flashmode.
Step F: Wait till it's done...
everything past item 3 is pretty hard since we can't acces anything on phone(that's bricking a phone right) to enable usb debugging.
Good tutorial though for those who installed a custom rom and they want to revert to original plus root acces.
Any ideea how to force seus or flash to force flash?

cant flash using SEUS...its saying i have latest version but in reality the phone is already bricked by me and not having the original stock firmware... now it just keeps restart with sony erricson logo and turns off again and bootloop...cant root, cant flash... heard that there is some special modified usb that will make the bootloader enter download mode so that we can flash fresh firmware inside it?

You can always flash... post your model and if your bootloader is locked or unlocked ( since you're on SE kernel logo, i assume it's locked), and i can provide you with stock firmware (E10i or U20i) to flash with flashtool.

hi, i am u20i model...i accidentally locked the bootloader while having nna kernel i think, because flashing customised rom and kernel, my phone will enter bootloop, thats why i pressed Restore inside s1tool.exe, which got my bootloader locked....
and now that my bootloader is locked, and i cant root my phone without turning it on( the phone bricked cant turn on anymore) i cant unlock my bootloader to flash new kernels into it... please do provide stock firmware and rom for me... i can only flash stock kernel, but not the rom... after i flashed the stock u20i kernel, i dont know how to flash the original rom into my phone, since now my phone, didnt have the CWM or XRecover anymore, which can browse my SD card, and install the rom from .zip files....
flashing stock kernel no problem but did not know how to flash the stock rom

Download this, It's the complete SE 2.1 Firmware (Kernel and ROM), flashable with flashtool.
(It's about 213.5MB, although the site may display it's less in your download dialog, but it will keep downloading till it's all there)

Your tried to unlock your booloader and now dont turn on?
If your phones was manufacturated after 11w29, you got a hard brick.
I haven't found the guide to unbrick the SE Xperia 2011 "bricked" device, then here it goes.
All of the following worked on my ST15i Xperia Mini Smultron.
So, your device was briked (doesn't turn on and probably blinks its LED).
If your device's LED works or you are able to turn it to flashmode (green LED light) then you can unbrick it using this short guide. In the over case bring it to Service.
Let me guess. Your device was unlocked and/or rooted just before it got bricked. Right? And you have tried to install official FOTA update. Right? I have bad news. After you have unlocked the bootloader the official installer (built into SE Android ROM) will always brick your smartphone. From now on you have to install all the updates and stuff via Flashtool or Clockwork Recovery only.
I assume you have downloaded and installed Flashtool for Sony Ericsson devices. Also I assume all the necessary drivers are installed on your PC.
Download attached file and extract the *.tft from it.
Put it to the Flashtool/firmwares/ folder.
Start the Flashtool, click Flash icon, select Flashmode, select the *.tft file.
Put your device onto flashmode and flash.
You're right, and there is always a need for these things, thank you.
Thank you for your file.
I've bricked my Xperia yesterday after a OTA update before unlocking bootloader with "Test point" method.
For me, worked flashing stock rom .62 with Wotan Server.
S1 tool flashed correctly ROM but still phone won't boot.
Now I have a question, after flashing new rom and "unbrick" the device my bootloader was unlocked and I must retry the steps of "Testpoint" or it is already unlocked?
SOLVED: Did the job hitting "RESTORE" in s1tool after wiping phone hitting "Restore" in Companion and flashing useless ftf bootloader relocker... '-.-
i cant get it to work
ok, can you please tell me exactly what to do after flashing the files on the phone?
i cant get it to boot, i also tried wotan but to no avail, the phone is dead
however let me tell you what my problem is:
my phone is a non branded ST17i (xperia active) rooted. nothing more not unlocked bootloader, no custom rom.
it was updated about more than a month ago (so i doubt it is bricked for that reason).
yesterday the screen began to act *funny* with a strange colored line in the top (i added an image of how it looked like), i restarted it, and it rebooted fine, so i put it to charge, from time to time within 30 *mins* i checked to see if the line was there again, but nothing, about an hour later i wanted to play with it and check whatsapp, but the screen would not turn on, it was totally frozen, as it happened before i just removed and inserted the battery (since this always fixed it), but then, it would not show a single thing on the screen, actually not even the buttons at the bottom would light up (back-home-menu), the only thing that seems to work is the vibration, and the notification led, after a few tries i removed and inserted the battery and put it to charge, but again, nothing, when it is turned off and you charge it, it reacts to touch lighting the buttons and showing the battery level on screen, but nothing, it is actually dead, so i don't know if it is bricked or no.
firstly i tried flashing with wotan, but nothing, i also tried flashing with seus, but nothing, and i don't understand, what to do with you post, i flash the files you posted, but then what?, do i boot it normally or do i need to flash something else?
i would be very grateful with a detailed step by step
If you haven't unlocked bootloader or flashed custom ROM or kernel your problem is very very strange...
First question: Phone will enter correctly in "Download" mode pressing VOL- during boot?
If you connect the device at PC it will be recognized? Launching Companion will detect a "Generic" SE phone or you will display the exact model? Have you tried a repair?
is not that strange look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572972
to your questions:
*yes, the phone enters flash mode
*yes it is correctly recognized by PC
*companion recognizes the exact model
*i have tried more than twice to reinstall and repair the phone software, as stated before, and the progress goes smooth showing NO errors.
phone does not start, does not boot.
if you have any ideas please let me know

You not need to restore the device because you have already a locked bootloader.
Try to re-flash with Wotanserver with another firmware version.
If problem persist, I think you need to meet local service center...

but The attached file in the main post not fit my problem??
Because I am in my country I can not use this program Wotanserver
Because of the proxy server
try relock the bootloader,and then you can fix it over PC companion.

Hello, I tried to unbrick my phone, but it doesn't work :/ Flashing is ok, but when I turn the phone it only vibrates and I can't do nothing. Please help me
That might be useful
HELP1! I've flashed ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).ftf on my ray with Flashtool and it started and worked perfectly. I tried to install CW with SEextereme tweak installer but when it tried to reboot my phone it stopped at the Sony Ericsson screen. I cannot go into the CW.
I tried to restore my phone with flashtool with ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(Central-Europe).ftf but it doesn't boot again. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe but still no success. Help me fix my phone or my parents will kill me because this is the third time it gets broken.
If this helps my ray is sim locked and with locked bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
Im' not sure whether SEextereme tweak installer can be used for ics, probably that's the problem. Why would you use fota unbrick? you didn't unlocked the bootloader rite?
basically there is 2 things you did wrong my fren:
1. Install CW with SEextereme tweak installer --> did u make sure that the tweak installer work with ics? in order to install CW u need to have root. Tweak installer probably uses the exploit on gingerbread not ICS
2. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe --> this one is a definite no. If im not mistaken this fotaunbrick only applied to phone that tried ota update after unlocking the bootloader on their phone.
Please specify the condition of your phone right now. Is it totally dead? when you turn on the phone what led color turns out? red, blue or green? Have you tried enter into flashmode to see whether it detects or not?
Flashmode= press vol down while connecting your phone to the computer
if what i'm suggesting is wrong, please correct me
be open to the bootloader
changed the kernel (xray v6)
go to recovery
factory reset
install zip from sdcard (custom rom)
In other places in the forum it's written that SEextreme tweak installer works with ICS and yes i had my phone rooted. I also read that this problem might occur on bricked devices and thats why i tried the Unbricktool.
my phone can connect in flashmode, but not in fastboot since i am with locked sim.
it does vibrate when i press the on button but it gets just to the sony ericsson screen and nothing more. I cannot even go to the recovery.
i've flashed firmwares with pccompanion, flashtool but still no sucess.

how long did you wait after flashing?
if you're still getting the sony logo then it's not really a bad case. only problem is you have a lock bootloader.
PC companion will not let you to repair installation?
use flashtool again with ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).
Else you need to unlock the bootloader, and flash a new kernel.

My bootloader has never been unlocked, so are you sure this is the problem and i nave to unlock it?
Check if you are able to use the phone in flash mode
Dude, your problem is pretty strange. I have done the same steps and worked flawles. Have a cable pluged in to the computer and then hold the vol- on the device and plug it. If you have a green LED thats cool. Go to wotanserver.com and find your ST18i. Scroll down and you will see the firmware flashing software. Download USB drivers and Wotan Client. Find someone with a credit card and get a firmware flashing credit for 2 euro. I think that will work. The wotanclient is easy to use and does not require anything else than flash mode for your phone. I hope i have helped you. Btw have you checked if toy have fastboot mode ( hold vol+ and plug in to computer)( I should see a blue led) if you dont see then pm me

please flash ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) again with flashtool 0.7.0, tick the box of "Wipe User Data", "Wipe Cache" and "No Final Verification Check".
Then the "Sony" logo will appear, not the "Sony Ericsson". Then the "Xperia" logo will appear. After that, try to wait araound 10-15mins.
Please post the log from flashtool. Easier for us to analyze what has happened.
The good news is that ur phone still can boot into flashmode. And you dont need to unlock your bootloader for flashing. The only importance of unlocking your bootloader is basically the ability to flash via fastboot and flash custom kernel. That's all.
I did exactly what you told me but this time it got stuck on the SONY screen

from the log, seems like ur flash is a success, so that means ur phone is still not brick yet . Wondering what's wrong with it . How long did you wait?
Guys I installed MIUI on my ray and its pretty good. But 3d games are not comming. So what I want is I want to restore it to previously backuped Stock ROM. But when try to restore it from CWM its saying md5 missing...like that. What should I do. I tried to install .562 stock rom with flash tool. Still I'm not able to update it. Plz give me suggestions

Do i really need to unlock my bootloader to fix the problem?
Is there a solution without this because and if not how did it happen so i don't do it again?
Please answer the questions people ask here. You said you waited only 2 minutes after flashing ICS? You do know that everything in the phone gets reset, dalvik-cache gets wiped and it takes up more than 2 minutes for the phone to rebuild everything before it completely boots up?
If you did wait more than 10-15 minutes and you still have the problem, sorry, then i unfortunately don't know a solution.

IMO, you don't need to unlock the bootloader since CWM wipe all is basically the same with "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache". So ur doing a same thing by flashing with flashtool with the "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache" box tick. Did you try flash using official software like SEUS and PC Companion?

im assuming that u have already unlocked the bootloader on your phone since ur running a custom kernel. Have you tried flash using fastboot command?
after following what the guy above me said, please confirm if you are getting the Sony logo or the Sony Ericsson logo.
and yeah, minimum wait time after flashing is 5 minutes.

hi friends
i was trying to update xperia mini pro sk17i (1250-3615) to ICS official
it went well phone booted to ICS but i wanted to root it. (rooting failed even when in GB with all the possible methods Doomlord/Xperia-root/flashtool )
then triend to collect all the files from firmware folder of sony pc companion and made a ftf file using flashtool decrypt /bundle .
flashed it worked fine for first two times... then unlocked the boot loader using sony unlock code from the site.
now .. i was trying different kernel / pre rooted and was boot looping .. so flashed back to .431 ftf and laptop just went off towards the end.
phone not powering on. not recognised as a usb device. But once in a while it comes to flash mode ( green light vol-down usb state ) and i finally was able to use flashtool and this much happened

but still phone not powering on.. its the red light blinks 3 to 4 times and nothing happens.please shed some light
my own phone is FIH FBO (huawei x6 variant ) and i am active in that section... i have tried all the possible recovery methods i can find..
Did you try repairing with PC Companion after the last flashing session?
Don't know how much it would help, though.
1º Usually when you have the 3 red blink means no battery. You have to put your phone charging and nothing will appear on screen. Only after 10 or 20 minutes when battery reach good level.
2º If point 1 is not enough probably you installed kernel for custom rom that might be not compatible with the version you flashed. Try to go to Fastboot mode (blue light vol-up usb state) and install original kernel.
Good Luck
(i'm quite sure is the battery,if you can just grab a voltimeter and check your battery, if value is lower than 3,8v for sure you need to charge|)
thanks buddy for the quick response ..connected it to the charger keeping it for some time(but it was always connected to laptop usb whole time ). lets hope its the battery now. But i have done some cross flashing too earlier.
can you please point me to the original kernel. (but blue light fastboot mode too not coming up now. )
for this particular phone all the threads are so messed up reading finding each compatible ones is taking so much time.. most of the links are dead /suspended too.
sometimes when i flash this (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf) i get to the sony splash screen and xperia it will show and keep boot looping ..this guy here also tried the same had similar outcome. This thread

yes one time i got a repair option and i tried it. says the phone has a modified rom / so repair is not possible. (mostly because of the kernel +baseband flash ) and its very rarely comes to flash mode.

i just saw the phone booting into splash / xperia / and then i heard saw the android home for a sec and battery went down phone got off.
kept for charging
thanks buddies... one thing is sure battery was down.. i was thinking its full charged since plugged to pc whole night. (wrong !!) then the second thought is .. does the recent booting into android home mean ( 12/019/2012 15:19:04 - INFO - Flashing loader) a temporary boot from the new kernel ? still hope is there rite ??

If you would read correctly, then you would see that .ftf file included only Baseband and Kernel, nothing more, nothing less.

Hello there.
After beeing fed up with the sluggish performance of my Neo stock ICS over the last months I finally took the step
and tried to install a custom rom.
I went for the xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2. And I messed it up!!
Root went fine with help of the Dessert Journey thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42856914
Installed x-parts for CWM and here is where it started to go sideways.
I left the bootloader locked.
I took me 10 attempts to get into CWM but finally managed to start it.
I then installed ultimate HD with the help of a guide.
But then the phone stalled showing the sony logo. However I could still get into CWM so I repeated the process 4 times.
On the 4th attempt I was starting to get frustrated and here is where I messed up.
I had a brain freeze and ticked the last box in Aroma where its says reebot allthough the guide I used clearly says don't!
Result: The phone starts with the usual vibration but freezes on the sony logo.
I spent a few hours trying to find a thread how I could undo my mess but I just don't know where to start.I have now more or less given up and resigned to the fact that I killed it.
I'll probably drop the hammer on a second hand nexus 4 today.
It would however be fun to ressurrect the neo and to be able to play with it. (Perhaps bad choise of words) So any Idea where to start for me to untangle this mess?
Thanks in advance

You just have to flash the stock .ftf file into your phone and it will work like before
1. Download the .ftf stock file for your neo.
2. Now as your phone is stucked at sony logo take out your battery and connect the phone to pc.
3. Now presa the back button and while you keep on pressing it just insert the battery and you are in flashmode now install the stock firmware and your phone is back.
Hit "Thanks" if i helped.

I wish it had helped! I have flashed the phone. But Im still stuck at sony logo.
Flashtoll says this: WARN - <- This level is successfully initialized.
Can it be that I have installed a corrupt rom that doesn't work and that because my bootloader is locked CWM has disappeared and that the phone has no way to start properly.

Then try using sus and flash the stock rom with that and after your phone starts once then repeat all the steps for rooting and everything.

If you flashed a rom with locked bootloader and after that you can still enter cwm, then you didn't follow the right steps.
When you install a rom you have to make all wipes in cwm, this will delete cwm after rom installation.
Same way with flashtool, when you flash a ftf firmware to restore corrupt phone make sure to check all wipes.

Yeah....
So I removed the sd-card and checked what I ROM I had installed. I had installed xperia ultimate hd 3.0.2 following a guide for xperia ultimate hd 2.0.2. apparently they somewhat different. There is still a folder callad Clockwork Mod on the SD card.
Did I ever mess up.
Sus also say the latest updates are already istalled on the phone.
Question: The ftf firmware I flashed is the 4.1.0.587 Nordic and it does not give the option for any wipes. There is the 4.1.0.587 Global that does.
Should I flash that and wipe everything?

Do this.. Just go to recovery, do wipes as follows,
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition,
Go to advance, wipe dalvik cache,
Mounts and storage, format data, format system, format cache..
Flash rom once again properly by reading instructions,.. This should fix it without flashing stock ftf and stuff.. And while flashing please tick on locked bootloader in aroma.. Hope this helps you

Seeing at your logs clearly tells that you're not flashing full firmware .ftf but just the kernel.
So to fix this do following:
1. Start Flashtool
2. Click on flash icon & select Flashmode.
3. Select the ftf file.
4. IMPORTANT: See the boxes on the right & CHECK all the 'Wipe boxes' (Apps log, User data, Cache, etc.) & UNCHECK all the 'Exclude boxes' (FOTA, System, Kernel, Baseband, etc.)
5. Click OK
6. Follow the instructions on screen.
7. Boot up your phone!
Then root your phone again > install CWM Recovery > follow the guide of ROM you want to install.
You're done! Cheers!
So when tried to flash the 4.1.0.587 Nordic ftf it did not give the option for any wipes. Could not check or uncheck anything because box was blank.
Then i flashed the 4.1.0.587 Global ftf and wiped cache and user data.
That worked!!
Thanks everyone that had the patience to try and help me.
Now I'm just gonna enjoythe fact that it works and in a day or so I'll root the slow and lagging thing and install a propher ROM
I have now been running Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.2 for a week with no big issues and lot less lag.
Great! Cant wait to try another ROM.
