the actual flash process does not require usb debugging on, as long as the phone enters flashmode(hold back and then insert usb cable) the flash shud work, when the phone turns on and has been setup then u shud do as flashtool says and tick usb debugging on
so just to reiterate, open flashtool, press flash select ur desired firmware, press flash, flashtool prompts u to enter flashmode(hold back button then insert usb), flash will automatically begin, once flash is complete unplug usb turn phone on, wait till its booted up and gone thru setup NOW u can selct usb debugging and unknown sources
Hi,
i have the same problem here, it's been a week since i started trying to flash this bloody X10a. Still no success, i can't even turn it on! Everytime i try flashing, i get this:
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:260) - Error flashing. Aborted
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:826) - Now unplug the device and power it on
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:827) - Then go to application settings
20/006/2011 16:06:55 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:828) - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
So, my question is: Is it possible to turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging with a phone that won't do anything else than get into flashmode after 20-30 minutes of USB Charging and back button holding. The phone won't charge the battery either.

I tried PC Companion and SEUS, i tried to do it with another computer but still..!
i am now trying yo do it under Ubuntu, wish me luck..
PC companion is only solution guys,connect ur phone and repair..
My Xperia Ray is originally from SFR. Simlock is removed (code from SFR).
I tried to unlock bootloader using control point method - S1Tool said it's OK (I don't know how to check if it is really OK). I flashed new radio (v.77) without problem using flashtool.
Now I'm trying to enter fastboot mode to change kernel and ROM - no success. Nothing happens if I connect the telephone to PC with Vol+ pressed (it just starts charging). Nothing if I start it Vol+ pressed (it just starts normally). The LED is never flashing blue.
I tested another Xperia Ray (from Bouygues Telecom) - the same thing, no fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?
So,did you have the drivers properly installed on your PC?
You can find it while installing Flashtool.
install drivers from folder in flashtool and then :
1. Disconnect phone from USB
2. Turn off phone (make sure you have at least 50% battery) and wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold the 'Volume UP key' WHILE inserting the USB. --> LED turns blue = fastboot mode.
4. Leave the phone turned off
Sure, the driver is installed.
Nothing happens when I try to connect it Vol+ pressed, NOTHING.
The PC does not see the phone, the phone goes to charging, the LED does not flash blue.
:crying:
no os no recovery no pc detection
hi i'm having a similar problem With my xperia ray
where i have done this:
went into recovery mode via pvyparts
formated system formatted cache formatted dalvik caches
then partioned the sd card
then selected reboot recovery
stuck in boot logo
then phone turned off
pc will not detect the phone
installed 4.2 adb drivers pc companion drivers
flashtool will not detect the phone either
thank you for all the help
I was trying t update my Z ultra HK version to .510 firmware using flashboot method.I managed that , but the new firmware gave me constant reboots so i decided to go back to my last HK firmware. The flashing completed ok with flashboot , i did a repair with PC companion but when the phone booted again during NGC update ? (i think all seemed chinese to me ) the phone when off with no signs of life. It does not even charge.
Please Help , as i think i totally bricked my phone.

What exactly do you mean by SEUS not.?Thanks
it means that PC Companion (PCC) needs the phone to be on, while SonyEricsson Update Service (SEUS) does not need it to be on.

I followed the instructions the phone is not recognized by SEUS.
A red light is on for 3 secs or so , the its is recycling back on red and off.

The fact that the red light shows up is a good sign at least.
Anyway, have you installed the proper drivers, and disabled firewall for the app?
When I used it for my wife's Z it worked, a bit slow, but it worked.
Did you keep the Vol-Down pressed while inserting the USB cable and until the program tells you to release it?
It's some sort of deep-communication that goes way before booting Android, so it has to work...
I repeat, my wife Z showed the led light and went off in like 2 seconds, then I followed the procedure on SEUS and it all worked (with patience, it has to download the whole FW).
EDIT: oh, theoretically you have to have at least 50% of battery, if it doesn't work again try to leave it charging for a couple of hours (even if it doesn't seem to be charging, you never know) and then retry...

I tried for at least 20 times with great patience but it never recognised the phone I followed your advice and i left the phone on the charger overnight.Today no red light completely dead.Maybe the damage is irreversible.
Thanks anyway

Ok, i assume you installed the right drivers for your PC, since it is the first prerequisite.
I don't personally know how could you have bricked the device without doing something on the system, and even then, the SEUS is (almost) always capable of reviving a dead phone for those causes.
If I were you I'd go to the next Sony repair centre, but first I'd try on another computer, maybe on WinXp where rarely something goes wrong regarding drivers and such.
If you do have another computer, try a fresh install of drivers and SEUS, and try again.
Something tells me that red led shouldn't light up if the phone was completely dead...

your primary aim now is getting the battery fully charged - original mains charger is best, keep trying with a combination of volume down connect USB or volume up connect USB, it will eventually charge, also check the USB connector on the phone for possible damage - it has been known to happen if you try to force the plug the wrong way round
Once you have the phone fully charged then connect to PC running SUS and do an update repair
If USB is damaged then Sony repair center is next

When i put the charger in i am getting a blinking red light , i don't know if it is charging but i will leave it there for couple of hours and then i ll try again.
blinking red light is usually a hardware failure of some kind but I wouldn't rule out software either, the fact that it's doing something means it's getting power so USB is ok
I've got to ask this - did you have it in water recently ?
If all the water detectors under the flaps are white and you still cannot get it sorted then return it to Sony Service Center for repair
Leave it on Charge for a few hours and see if the light turns to solid red, I think you will sort it if you keep at it
As mentioned above SUS does not need the phone powered on but can be a bit hit and miss when connecting it when instructed to do so with the volume down button

From Sony support - the blinking red led might just be low battery indicator, anyway read below
If this happens to anyone one of you please check the following.
1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.
When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.
If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.
2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up.
3. Update the phone software using PC Companion, Sony Bridge for Mac or Update service. If no update is available, use Repair mode in PC Companion.
This should fix the problem.
To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours
1. Plug the charger into the phone, and let it be plugged in for 24 hours. There will be no indication of charging, since the battery is discharging during this step.
2. Disconnect the charger from the phone, and wait for 20 seconds.
3. Plug the charger into the phone again. The battery should now start charging. It may take some time before any indication of charging appears (the battery status LED lights up in red, and shines continuously).
4. Let the phone charge until it’s fully charged. Then follow the instruction to update the phone software in step 3 found in section above.
5. If the phone doesn’t charge, send it for service.

I don't think you're supposed to push power+up while connecting, instead I clearly remember keeping pushed the down button while inserting the cable...

I understand that volume up + power is meant to reset the phone.
I am connecting the phone while keep the volume down button pressed.But instead of entering flashboot mode , the red light on my device lights on for three seconds , then is going off and the above circle starts

You definetly have a battery problem here. For some reason your battery is dead or maybe its misconnected and can only powerup with cable. But for flashing you need alittle battery.power
Idk where you are living but try to take your phone to a official service/repair center. They should be able to help you AND if the phone does not power up nobody can check if unlocked already or not.
The flashing with Flashtool or SUS has to work ALWAYS since it is implemented in bootloader and normally the bootloader does not get touched while flashing roms and playing with partitions. Thats the reason Sony phones are called nearly unbrickable....
Hope you get it running somehow.

I'm having exactly the same problem...
Phone is stuck on SONY logo but doesn't proceed further. Left it overnight (plugged in) and suddenly it booted.
Now it's stuck again... I think it may b a ROM issue.
hello like the title said
i cant seem to enter flashmode. fastboot and recovery works fine tho
i was trying to install stock rom, xperia companion app and flashtool doesnt help
flashtool said something like usb debugging off, and 2011 devices bla bla (usb debugging IS NOT OFF its ON) tried 2 different version the 9.18 and 9.2
the green light did light up only like 1s then off then light up again then its gone for good
after that the phone connected to pc and recognized as somc flash device but not recognized by flashtool or xperia companion
first off all its not really a problem because i can still go to fastboot and recovery to flash ROM
but since i want to revert to stock rom (not modified,rooted or anything)
can someone guide me how to fix it? i tried 2 pc + a laptop, flashmode still not detected
Same problem
I'am with same a problema, u have a solution?
You have to wait for flashtool to ask you to connect your phone in flashmode and that is after you've loaded your firmware to flash
Your phone will only stay in flashmode (green led) whilst it is receiving data if it is not receiving data it will switch off after a few second's
