arunrv could you exactly tell me what you did to work the phone ?
because i have the same problem as you
I downloaded "update service" software from Sony website.
Download it and after installing, launch the software.
The software will guide you to how to connect your phone. (Initially don't connect your phone)
Software will take care of rest of the process.
Regards,
Arun

Thanks it works but a little unstable. because first i tried 2-3 and it gave me an error on both ways (factory settings or just update) by the way i tried many diffrent ways then i tried again with se update service with factory settings and it worked.
I think the problem is root. this version doesnt love root and my phone was rooted. if anybodys phone has root first remove it then update urs phone.

Download firmware ftf file and simply flash it from flashtool.
Or use wotanserver.

So I did something, turned off my phone, and now when I turn it on, it will show the Sony Ericsson screen then half a second of the AT&T screen then it will shut off and restart everything and it does this over and over and over until I take out the battery. I have a x10a running on 2.1 update and I have no idea what to do.
Sony Ericsson companion wont do anything to help me out by doing the "hold back button and plug in".... it says "update not available". Also my phone won't let me hard reset I really don't know what to do so can you please tell me something to do? I've been trying to fix it since about 3:00pm yesterday and its about to drive me crazy!! So please write back, Thanks!
Do You have root, xRecovery etc.? You could try to flash new ROM using flashtool (USB Debugging must be enabled)

Well i got it to work again by flashing it but now when i plug it in to use on the flash tool, it says "device detected" I had the old tool now i have the new one and it use to say x10 on old one now it says device detected on the new one... I tried installing drives and everything and it still says the same thing.. I want to do xrecovery and install apk files but it wont let me. Any suggestions?
So do You have working ROM now? If so copy the files from xRecovery.apk manually to the destination folders

Hi, I have a orange network locked xperia ray st18i locked bootloader. I downloaded pc companion and did a software update and all went well. The phone booted up fine after the update until I shut it down and since then I have been unable to get passed the SE screen. It just hangs there. I am able to enter flash mode by pressing the down button and plugging the usb in. Tried phone repair option and still no jog.
Today I tried to unlock the bootloader using the pin touching menthod but that didnt work either. Said something like fatal error....
I need to unlock the bootloader to try a alternative rom to see if that works or revert back to the stock orange rom it came with but im cannot find this anywhere. I am a learner so any advice would be helpful. CAn anyone suggest a rom for the ray that can be installed using flash method WITHOUT unlocked bootloader? I am a **** for doing the uprgrade via sony website but I didnt think this would happen. should have left it as it was.
Thanks for reading.
Take your battery out and try reflashing again using SEUS.
Thread moved to Xperia Ray Q&A.
Yes I have tried that many times already and it finishes the update correctly but still hangs on the SE logo when turned on. I tried again just to see if anything has changed. When I connected the phone whilst pressing the down vol button it recognised it and said your phone already has the latest software but I re installed anyway. No change in result though.
Sony have asked to send the phone to repair and they will reply with a quote for fixing it. Has anyone used this service before and how much can i expect to pay for a software install? Repair office is in Ashford, kent.
thanks
Read my guide and try flashing a stock ftf file, if that fails theres a few other things you could try.

It's not as hard as you may think
Use this to create the ftf, it's step by step. If you can't/don't want to do it I can't help you because I have no orange firmware

HAD YOU READ THE FIRST PART OF MY GUIDE YOU WOULD ALREADY KNOW. Had you even read the stickys in the General section you would have found one.
Right so I created the .ftf file from the three update files. Ive downloaded x10 flash tool. I connect the phone and flashtools registers that a phone is connected then start the flash but soon after the phone just gets disconnected.
any idea's?

Download the latest flashtool (I guess it's 0.9.x) and install it. Go to the drivers folder and install all the drivers for all the phones and modes. Now you launch flashtool, but don't connect the phone! Click on the flash -> flashmode -> select the ftf and don't exclude anything (you have the ability on the right site).
Now click OK and the screen to connect the phone in flashmode appears. Shut down the phone, wait 20 seconds, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect the phone to PC.
Wait until the flashing process has finished and hope it'll start!

What should I try now?
Hello guys,
I am on a trip to the UK. During the flight the phone was working fine. Turned it off during the landing and tried to turn it on when the plane landed. But it won't turn on. It's stuck on the Sony logo. The phone was rooted with locked bootloader. I managed to get into the CWM and backup and even made a fresh install of the ROM (zelly cream) I could use the aroma installer, the touchscreen wouldn't work though. PC companion recognises the phone, says there no update. I used flashtool several times. Everything installs correctly but still stuck on sony logo. Please help me. I am stuck with no phone on my trip.

Looks like a legit hard brick
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
It looks like a hardbrick, but if you're still under warranty then flash a stock firmware and send it to sony service center. Should be fine with locked bootloader

The phone's out of warranty.
I went to a shop that repairs phones, they sent it back in 3 days saying it can't be fixed. Now what? I have an expensive paperweight? It's not heavy enough for that either.
weird,I got stuck in sony logo more than 10 times.and repair it with flashtool did you follow the guide correctly?

Only solution I found
I had almost a similar problem. I had installed the same rom to my xperia ray and tried to update it with different selections in aroma installer. The result was the phone stuck at the sony logo.
I tried PC companion and it recognised a sony phone but not a ray.
I tried seus, this detected correctly xperia ray, but it replied that there is no update for my phone.
I tried flashtool but it could not recognize my phone and any way I didn't have any thing to flash my ray. (I installed the drivers from the subdirectory)
So I tryied something I've used a year ago: Wotan server. I paid about $2 to get a license and after executing the steps of the tool, I finally had my phone back.
I know that I'm not an expert on the field, and maybe there are other free of charge ways to do the work, but this worked for my phone and this was the second time.
PS. After the procedure I updated my phone using SEUS and this time I kept the stock ICS files and converted them to ftf files
I think the internal memory chip is faulty or something. Or it wouldn't even boot in the first place?

Guys please help me
Guys please help me. I rooted, unlocked bootloaders and unbricked android phones many times before but I just don't know what to do now. I tried flashing with flashtool 10000 times, everything goes ok but the phone won't go past the sony logo. I tried removing the battery for days. I tried charging for days. I even tried unlocking the bootloader and installing custom kernels. No luck. SEUS said there's no update even though I flashed an old firmware and after unloacking the BL says the phone has modified firmware that cannot be modified , EMMA says no available services. The only thing I didn't try is the test points method but why would I?
Anyone has any idea what's going on? I don't have the money for another phone right now
Anyone??

The phone was rooted with a custom ROM (Zelly Cream 2.0). The rom was flashed weeks before that happened. I was on the plane playing games on the phone. Turned it off for landing. Tried turning it on after the plane landed and it was stuck on the sony logo. I could get into the CWM and used the Aroma installer using the keys as the touchscreen would not work.
Murphy's law is with me tonight. Tomorrow, I'm meeting someone who wants to buy my xperia P so tonight I plugged out my sim-card, deleted my stuff on the sd-card and did a factory reset. When I rebooted the device to check if indeed everything was deleted, my pc didn't recognise the device. I tried on an other pc but no reaction. I hear the connecting sound and get a notification on the pc that says "usb device not recognised". I tried installing the drivers via SUS but that didn't change anything. I then tried if my sim-card worked but the device gives a notification: the simcard could not be recognised. My simcard is working correctly as it works in an other cellphone. I then thought I could install titanium backup to search for an old backup but I can't even get the wifi going. I also installed other roms but I can't mount /system. The device I have is rooted and unlocked.
Could you help me solve this issue?
Can't understand the problem exactly, is the device booting? If it is what does it mean you cannot mount system?
You also say you have installed other roms, that require mounting of system.
What FW is installed?

The device was booting but now it's stuck on the Sony image (before the loading image)
The problem is: the device doesn't recognise any simcard. I can't turn on wifi nor does the pc recognise my phone.
When in CWM (when I try installing a new rom that was already on the phone's sd-card beforehand) I can't mount /system.
I can pick a ftf from my sd-card to install a rom but afterwards the problems stay the same: no sim, no wifi, no usb connection possible.

After a lot of cursing and sweating I managed to get it in fastboot, install an ics ftf and now it's updating via pc companion (wifi and pc connection work as before). The only problem that still exists now is the fact that the device doesn't recognise my sim-card. I checked if I didn't put it in the other way around but it's in the right position. I'm sure the sim works because I tested it in another cellphone.
Thanks a lot for helping me
I have never flashed FW with fastboot only kernels.
Maybe it have flashed, TA partition which is normaly not flashed?
Lets see after the update.

I'm sorry it was in FlashMode The update gives me an error but somehow after I rebooted, the sim is now recognised :s
The only problem now is that I'm stuck in JB but I'm doubting to try anything else.
This cellphone has been nothing but random misery to me for the past 6 months The problem with the randomness is that I can't show it to the service centers (they keep on telling me they can't reproduce the problem).
