Hello everyone,
I am a noob and I tried to update my X10a (Rogers) from PC Companion and it wouldn't work even though I am at firmware 2.1.
Then I decided to do an update with flashtool. But everytime I connect to flashtool it gives me this error:
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Then go to application settings
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
18/026/2011 19:26:13 - INFO - Device disconnected
and I have turned on the Unknown Sources and USB Debugging on the phone yet it keeps giving me the same error over and over again.
Even when I tried to upgrade it to the Generic 2.3 it would still give me this error.
I don't know what I am doing wrong or if it is just my stupid phone.
I downloaded all the .ftf files from here.
I also downloaded the flashtool from here.
Please help me. I would really appreciate it.
goto driver folder in flashtool folder and run ggsetup then try again
Redownload file and try again
AND
When flashtool says to connect in flashmode put the phone in flash mode that time
Don't put it in flashmode before it
i did both...still not working
one thing i do notice is that everytime I connect my phone with the USB I get the pop-up "Connect phone/Install PC Companion/Charge Phone"
If I select Connect phone and a few seconds later I take out the USB and plug it back in I get that popup in the phone again...could this be a problem?
Hello!
I hope there is someone who can help. I have purchased a second hand mini pro with custom firmware (some froyodroid). It worked for a couple of days and now it just doesnt start up anymore. When i turn it on it boots into the home screen and comes then up with dozens of error messages ie. phone was closed..., calender was closed,.... so i cant even go into the settings.
My idea was to install some other rom and hope the problem is solved but when i run flashtool i get this message

I assume it wants me to turn on USB debugging but unfortunately i cant even get into the settings. Any idea what to try to fix it?
TIA
Sorry guys, after reading some more threads i realized how to solve it. Thanks anyway
TO dosada or others who know: How to solve it?
THanks in advance!
i use flashtool before and the first time,i also dont know how to use it. but after more trials, i manage to understand on how to use flashtool (after reading thread by thread).
1. turn off the phone, unplug the cable.
2. open flashtool, selec flashmode, select kernel, then ok.
3. flashtool will give you a message about flashmode.
3. hold back button (<== arrow) and plug in the cable.
4. the flash process start.
hey guys,
slowly i'm getting a little bit desperate actually i'm not sure, if my problem at the moment is flashtool or cyanogenmod 9.1 which brought ics on my phone or whatever. hope you can help me
i have an xperia ray and was on stock gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.69 with baseband 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-66. but as the stock xperia included kraken facebook stuff, i finally wanted to get rid of it, so stock ics was no option. then i heard of cyanogenmod, which my friend had installed on his samsung galaxy s, and it worked perfectly there out of the box, so i wanted cm as well...
so on friday i installed cm9.1 stable from download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=urushi following this guide: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Ray:_Full_Update_Guide
everything worked fine except of no phone and mobile data connection. i researched, and it seems the xperia ray wants baseband 72 to work properly. so i installed latest flashtool 0.9.3.0, installed the proper drivers with flashtool-drivers.exe fomr flashtool folder "drivers" and tried. the second try i finally managed to get the ray's green light signaling flashmode, but flashtool disconnected in between, and on the ray one could see an image that looked like a glass with a green liquid in it... well, as flashtool had closed the connection, i waited a little bit and - as nothing happened - unplugged the usb cable and tried to reboot the ray fearing that i had bricked it. actually i didn't, the ray booted up, _and_ i had phone and mobile data connection! so i thought everything was fine even as my phone info still says "Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-66". first i thought "anyways, everything works fine".
and so it seemed, but today as i was visting my parents, where i normally have a fine phone and mobile data connection, there was nearly nothing, and so i thought, i have to get bb72! but i don't get the ray into flashmode anymore
i read tons of guides, tried several variations of plugging and unplugging points of time... no way... somehow i also fear that my problem might be that flashtool wants the phone to have usb debugging and msc mode on, which i did, and when i start flashtool with the phone plugged in it says "Device connected with USB debugging on", but after the unplugging, shutting down the phone and connecting it again with the back-button pushed and holding it says "Device connected with USB debugging off" and "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode". maybe that's because i don't get the device into "green light flashmode" or maybe (as i had read about meanwhile) because with ics msc isn't (fully) supported anymore?
so, can you please help me? any suggestions how i can get that baseband flashed on my phone? should i try it with the linux version of flashtool, or are there still any possibilities on windows (xp sp3)?
thx a lot, and by the way: phantastic work, that all you developing guys and helpers do for us!
my current system:
Phone: Xperia Ray (Urushi)
Android: 4.0.4 [ICS]
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-66

EDIT: hey again... i finally managed to get into the green light flashmode somehow, but flashtool still says:
09/006/2012 18:06:55 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
09/006/2012 18:06:55 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

so i looked around, if there is maybe any other way to get that baseband flashed on the system, and i found a thread called "[Q] Flashing .ftf file without flashtool?" that states, it was possible with fastboot: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562110
so i'd like to try that. unfortunately that thread got stuck exactly at the point where it was about getting the right commands to flash certain files - e.g. for a baseband
what i did so far is: i renamed the baseband-ftf to zip and unzipped the zip. the following files are included:
adsp.sin
amss.sin
amss_fs_urushi.sin
apps_log.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
loader.sin
plus a folder called META-INF, but i guess that one isn't needed.
to flash the boot.img, when installing cm9.1 the cm-guide posts that command:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
the guy from the thread "[Q] Flashing .ftf file without flashtool?" posts those examples:
fastboot flash boot kernel.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
so, what are the commands to flash those "sins"? and do i have to use that "-i 0xfce" part, or is "fastboot flash" enough?
hope, someone can help me with that
thx a lot again!

Hi,
How are you trying to put your device in flashmode? If you do exactly what flashtool says, you wont get it.
You have to turn off your device, select flashmode in flashtool, press and hold Volume Down Key and then connect the phone to your PC.
The Back Key is not functioning for our Xperia, but Volume Down yes!

hi,
hm, i'll give it a try, but all the guides i found concerning the ray explicitly wrote about the back/return button like e.g. this one here talk.sonymobile.com/thread/24433
and as i wrote in my original post and in my edit i managed to get into green light mode with back/return button, but flashtool "just" didn't recognise that the ray anyways - despite it being connected with usb debugging and msc mode on - which is because of a problem concerning ics and msc mode i fear...
but i'll try it with volume down anyways. there can't happen more than before
is there anybody out there who possibly might help me with the fastboot solution?

Also i dont know if it happens on the newer flashtool version but if you leave it connected to flashmode for too long it automatically breaks the connection. you should always drag'n'drop the ftf into flashtool and set alll that up and only enter flashmode when it tells you too after its all ready to go.

hope, i won't have to flash around too often but thx for the tip
what i also found out accidentally yesterday, is the fact that msc actually works properly on ics/cm9.1, if you explicitly tell your device to connect as mass storage.
before the upgrade to ics i simply plugged the ray into the pc or mac, and the micro sdcard showed up like an additional volume. it didn't anymore after the upgrade. the device said something like "usb connected" in the info bar, but nothing more happened.
yesterday i checked that message in the info bar more accurately, even tapped on it, and tadaaa, the option was shown to "turn on usb storage": jayceooi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/SGS2-ICS-USB-Mass-Storage.jpg
so easy and so far away simultaneously; unbelievable. anyways, i have "real" msc now again
hi everyone. i really need help here.
my device error or something now it is SEMC flash device ERROR!!! Please help?

Hello, I forgot my password, so I used Sony Companion to crack the password. I selected software repair which is under of Sony Companion. I followed procedures of Companion, and repairing process started, but a problem occurred while repairing. Everything was OK for a while, but it crashed. I didn't touch my phone while it's repairing.
I tried turning on my phone. It turned on, Sony logo popped out, but the phone got in a loop. It's turning on and turning off repeatedly. I have tried many ways to get rid of it, but I have failed.
I waited a long time. The phone's screen has turned to black. My computer can't recognize the phone, of course I installed drivers (ADB drivers that kind of stuff).
Only Flash Tool was being able to recognize the phone, but not completely. Here is the log of Flash tool:

After connecting cable, and hearing the windows connection sound, Flash Tool records these logs. It's happening again and again. "Connected - Disconnected - Connected - Disconnected" like this.
I think my device is unreachable now Help me, please. Thank you for your replies. By the way I can't unlock the Bootloader by pressing Power and Volume Down Key that emphasized by Flash tool and Sony Companion.
