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.

I tried flashing the ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) with flashtool and i waited about 2 minutes. It's still not gettin further than the sony ericsson screen.I aslo have tried this update service but still no change.
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?

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.

Dear All,
I beg your help for solving the following problem (already browsed for similar topics, no luck).
Here a brief history of the mess I have been doing:
I had installed Cyanogenmod (Worked)
I had flashed back a Stock ROM (ST15i_4.0.A.2.368__GENERIC_(1244-2098).ftf) (Worked)
Even though I knew that was not a good idea, I updated the software (as requested by android) (Bricked)
I have tried to re-flash using the same Stock ROM has worked before, with the result you can read below.

The Symptoms are the following:
Device not booting, when pressing the power button the phone vibrates for one second, nothing happens. The green light blinks.
When connecting the phone to the PC, it immediately starts the flashmode
When trying to connect it in fastboot mode (blue light) nothing happens. After releasing the up volume button, the phone connects in flashmode
When trying to use PC Companion, I get a window asking for unplugging the phone, remove the battery, insert the battery again and reboot. It does not reboot
When being connected with the PC, the phone exits and reenters the the flashmode each 1 minute.
I know I am just the N-th noob asking for help, but any hint is highly appreciated!

Hey Someguyfromhell,
you made my day, my mobile phone is alive again
There is still one question, is there a solution to allow the updates to be installed again? Maybe by relock the bootloader or using the PC Companion?
Thanks a lot again!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33 and look in the post for D) Relocking.
Seems, that if you used test point method, you can also relock via S1tool.
After that you can reflash stock firmware.
Almost same symptoms
Hi, I also think I've bricked my st15i.
What I've done:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-Flashed custom rom
-Everything was working
Then with no reason, the phone started rebooting. It managed to boot and after 10sec - 1min it restarted again.
To solve this I:
- flashed stock rom and it stopped rebooting but as soon as I plugged it off the usb it rebooted and could not boot (it was looping sony logo and back).
- flashed other stock firmware, the same results
- now when connecting it to pc it goes directly to flashmode
- I can enter fastboot mode as well
- When pressing power button green led blinks
- tried flashing stock firmware again and then both the xperia_relock_bootloader.ftf and Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf with no results
- when connected to pc it goes only to flashmode (Can't make it to start)
- when pluged in the socket it starts looping up to sony logo
- when not pluged at all when I press power button, green led blinks
I hope you can make any sense out of this because I can't, and I've been trying solutions the past 36hours!!
Please...help!!
Hi.

PLEASE, HELP ME! What can I do?
Phone only keeps rebooting... Also in flash mode when I do nothing...
Did you unlock the bootloader before trying to flash the ROM?
I had this same issue when I tried flashing CM7 on my phone first time.
I pulled the battery out for a while, let it rest, then inserted it back in and made sure it wasn't going on and off in flash mode. After that, I reinstalled stock ROM, unlocked bootloader, installed custom kernel and custom ROM and it worked like a charm.
Something that happened a few times is that the phone won't turn on, not even enter flash mode. I'm not sure if it was a battery issue or what, but I solved it letting it charge for a few hours and then tried again.
well.same prob i had i suppose!
First of all.u have to download SEUS and update your device to go back to stock firmware+kernel.that will unbrick your device!
UNLOCKING GUIDE
1.root+recovery your device.(flashtool)
2.then go check if your device is safe to unlock.(s1tool)
3.if it's safe, go ahead and unlock it!(msm7227_semc.cmd)
4.flash ther correct rAa kernel suggested and given with the rom.(flashtool)
5.then flash your ROM on recovery mode.(before flashing make sure u select "wipe data/factory reset")
6.give it time to reboot for first time.
So I decided to go to the mobile phone service. I paid about 10 EUR.
@hiratafabio
I've never unlocked bootloader.
@+cs.tribal
Did you read my post? I wrote about reconnecting mobile phone in flashmode so Flashtool/SEUS doesn't work.
Thanks for help.

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.
brov just reflash but dont use Flashtool v0.8.6, use v0.8.5 but make yhu charge tha phone first...
this is the latest happening ... and i strongly believe its the battery

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.

Remove USB cable, choose the .ftf file with Flashtool, connect the phone in flashmode when Flashtool asks it.
Guys I am in great trouble after doing a mistake. I didn't know doomkarnel is not for ICS. I flashed DoomKarnel to my Xperia S with flashtool. My phone was running on ICS 4.0.4 latest firmware. After flashing the karnel I couldn't make my phone working, it just stuck on the doomkarnel logo if I want to switch on my phone. Then I wanted to flash a generic firmware with flashtool to solve the problem. I have downloaded 6.1.A.2.50 firmware. But I can't finish the flashing process. It stuck after 2% of the total progress. here's the flashtool scenario:

here the system stuck with 2% progress.
The things you may wanted to know:
1. My phone's bootloader is officially unlocked by me.
2. I understand flash mode(green led) and fastboot mode(blue led) well.
3. Every time when flashtool prompts me to enter the flash mode I do it according to the correct way.
4. the green led indicates that batter is ok here.
Now What will I do now? How can I make my phone working again? Advanced thanks.
Oww.. Now this phone shows the SONY logo and after that a triangle with an exclamation mark (!) appears. Then it restarts..

Download the fastboot drivers onto your computer and install them. There's posts on how to do that, or I can just tell you if you need me to. Then just flash advanced Stock kernel using the fastboot command and your phone should boot up like normal.
Wait, is yours a locked or unlocked bootloader?

I guess you have the latest Flashtool version right?
Do these...
Use a version older to flashtool. Latest one has a bug, Androxyde has already posted a fix for it.
Flash any ftf.
Don't use doom kernel its for gb, so flashing will end up in sticking at logo.
Use advanced ics kernel by arkamar/Xperia sspeed kernel by krabapel/xsx kernel by Mericon.
Done....
uhu.. Prom isn't solved.. I have flashed Advanced Stock ICS kernel successfully but the result is same. after showing the sony logo a triangle with a exclamation mark and a touchphone icon apeear.

I'm trying to go back to stock firmware but whenever I try to flash any ftf file (I have tried 4 different ones) it gets stuck at 2% when processing amss_fs_2.sin
anyone know what I may be doing wrong ?
EDIT: think I've figured out my problem.
I think its to do with the new version of flashtool , I installed the 0.8.5.0 version and flashed the ftf again and it has flashed FTF fine.

Hi guys
My friend has a xperia mini st15i.He rooted it a long time ago using e-root.
Now he did something wrong and he is unable to turn on his phone
When he turn on his phone,first the sony logo appears and then the xperia logo and then the phone turns off. It again starts with the sony logo, xperia logo and so on
I am not so familiar with sony devices..i think pressing volume down at the startup takes it to recovery mode but its not working
I tried flashing a stock firmware using flashtool..but i am always getting some error

What could i do to make the phone turn on
Did u install flashtool drivers before flashing stock rom ?
try to do that then try again
I somehow managed to flash a stock 4.0.4 rom (4.1.B.0.587)
