Hi guys, I need a very BIG HELP...
first of all, I'm a bit new with the flashing,,etc
I had the latest update on my Xperia Ray 4.0.4 ICS,, then I decided to flash it,, my bootloader was allowed unlock but i did not unlock it
i followed the walk through where you root without unlocking the bootloader
I flashed my phone to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel,
then flashed again to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,
went into CWM and installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 from sd card,
then i saw the MOD 4.4,
installed it from sd card by using CWM
all worked well
then i messed up everything
i wanted to remove the MOD
I went into CWM recovery mode
I had "wipe data/factory reset",
then had "wipe cash partition"
then install the Xperia Ultimate HD from sd card...
after installing, the phone remained on the Sony logo screen without loading...
I tried to flashed it but on flashtool it said "need to root"
I used fastboot mode,, and unlock my bootloader successfully..
I flashed it again to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel and then to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,, but still nothing happened :'(
my phone is still stuck on the "Sony" logo screen and I cannot enter CWM recovery
And i think that my phone was not on debugging mode or unknown sources checked
Dont know what to do....... :'(
PLEASE HELP...................

did you follow the instructions of the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924291 correctly? you also said in the end you able to unlock you bootloader, so flash at fastboot any kernel that is compatible with the rom you want or the one the provide.
OR
IF you want to repeat all the procedures from the start flash back your stock ICS ROM then root it the way you know how to root it..install CWM then GO follow the instruction carefully of the ROM you wanted to try just be careful not to brick your device by flashing rom not intended for your device
GOOD LUCK!
Hi,
I also ended up with a bricked Xperia Ray. If you did not unlock your bootloader, you should be able to restore your phone with Sony Update Service. That worked for me, until I unlocked my bootloader. Once unlocked, the software refuses to do anything with your phone and you're forced to take more drastic measures.
The method demonstrated in the video worked perfect for me. However, you'll have Android 2.3 running. If your bootloader is still unlocked, you should be able to update with Sony Update Service. If not, you can try do download a more recent stockrom and flash that with flashtool. That worked for me. I still had to flash another kernel though, to get Doomlord working again and root my phone. I used RecoveryX to flash CWM recovery on my phone.
I also recommend Iced Bean 3, it's work really well on my phone. Don't make the same mistake as I did and do format /system, /cache and /data, as instructed. And follow these steps to update to 3.5

i have an Sony Xperia Neo V , Officially Updated ICS 4.0.4
so i m starting to move with it....
i have rooted my device and its successfully rooted, then i tried to unlock bootloader, followed sony's official method.
at final command line "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" i got an error, it says Failed "your device already unlocked"
ok fine, so its unlocked...
i needed a CWM recovery, so i install and flash CWM via X-Parts from Play store and it works successfully...
i rebooted my devices into recovery and took an nandroid backup.
well everything goes well
then i got interest about cynagenmod officail custom Rom, i have downloaded cm-9.1.0-haida.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip for my xperia neo v. i choose that because it was only stable ROM from cynagenmod.
then cynagenMod instruction says that i have to flash from cm-9.1.0-haida.zip, so i did copy boot.img from zip and paste it into sdk and i flashed that via SDK.
the great mistake i have done
its flashed CWM Based recovery v6.1.0.2
My boot screen also changed from Sony, Xperia to Free Experia Project with that boot.img flash
after that i didnt took any nandroid backup, i thought i already have one via X-parts CWM
so i did follow instruction, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, delvic cache, battery and install cm-9.1.0-haida.zip from sd card, also gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
after installation done i rebooted my device and CM9.1.0 just ready to use, well i have setup everything and start using Cynagenmod Based ROM,
i didnt get much fun of it and i wanna go back to my stock ROM ics 4.0.4
i reboot into recovery and restore backup (created with x parts recovery), the restoration was successfull but after reboot Free Xperia Project boot window comes again and after few second my phone stucks in black screen.
that time i noticed my phone have now two CWM recovery, CWM v6.0.1.2 and X-parts Recovery.
then i tried another ROM called "Revolution_ics_hd_revolution[build_7].zip" it was also installed successfully, but my phone stuck again after Free Xperia Project Boot Screen, and X parts Recovery gone again with this installation.
i tried to flash Stock Rom MT11i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf and Stock kernel MT11i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel.ftf by Flashtool.
when i reboot into flashmod then altime it says : -
06/041/2014 14:41:30 - ERROR - Error in processHeader : 1 : Incorrect function.
06/041/2014 14:41:30 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
i dont know what to do, i can only install and use CM9.1.0 haida now, no other ROMs, even i dont wanna go back to my stock boot screen, stock rom 4.0.4...
i guess somehow if i can remove that boot.img comes from cm-9.1.0-haida.zip, flash original sony boot screen then i could have back to my everything stock and original
is there any way? any tips...?
I wanna go back to my custom kernel, custom rom 4.0.4.....
Please help me....
You must insert loader.sin on firmware folder (flashtool)

Okay, here is the deal...
i have rooted my device and had successfully used cwm and nandroid back up everytime i messed up tweaking. i am sure of using cwm plenty of times.
But eversince the last time i had retrieved the nandroid backup while trying to change a font and went to a bootloop, although i had successfully used cwm again and retrieved my back up, i cannot access cwm anymore. i have tried several times now with the volume button pressed repeatedly after the logo., but it is not working now. I dont know what happend to it. But is there something i did wrong??
I want to use cwm again to update a zip file. That is how i found that cwm is no longer accessible in my droid
Please help :'(
I am using Xperia Miro 5.8 firmware rooted
Thanks in advance

Have you got an unlocked bootloader with a custom kernel with CWM embedded into it?
If not it is possible that CWM was erased from your system partition for some reason. Have you tried reinstalling CWM onto your device?

Forgot to mention that, bootloader is still locked. Is there a chance for cwm to get erased from the system? ?? Can i have cwm permanent by getting bootloader unlocked? ?
I will try reinstalling cwm as you had mentioned. Right now, i am having some difficulties installing a cwm because recently i changed my os to ubuntu and struggling with it
Thanks

It is unlikely it would have, however it is possible. If you unlock your bootloader (if it is possible) you can install a custom kernel like vengeance what has CWM embedded in it meaning you will never lose it.
Good luck on reinstalling CWM.
Hi! I'm new on this forum! I would like to ask for help with my phone contact with the Xperia J! I installed the superuser and CWM was on the phone! The Build number: 11.2.A.0.31 closed bootloaderü! So my problem is that when the USB connect your phone off, turn it on, the sony than that device element hammering the volume - button does not turn recovery mode and my computer freezes, and when the charger to the phone, you can either switch to recovery mode the device! This I would like to ask for help, it is possible to resolve this that does not freeze the machine when I want to put the phone in recovery mode, and that this is not a solution to build speed and that nekelljen, or connect to USB adapter to connect to recovery mode? Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Hi guys,
I'm very new to this- rooted my xperia arc s last year and installed cyanogen and since then haven't done anything as it worked perfectly! Went to install a new ROM this morning and made a rather stupid mistake!
Was planning to install slim bean
this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959054
I hadnt flashed the new kernel, but booted in safe mode and got to step 8 (had wiped cache, dalvik cache, formatted system).
I then realised that the kernel and slim bean files that I was going to flash were no longer on the SD card as I had formatted it before booting in recovery mode.
Not really thinking, I exited recovery mode.
Now my phone won't boot (system is formatted as per step 8 in link above). I can't flash anything to it with fastboot (as far as I know) as it won't recognise my phone as a device.
The sony logo appears, and nothing else. Won't boot into recovery.
As I said, I'm quite new to this, but is there anything I can do to save the phone?
xperia arc s (lt18i)
android 4.0.4
Any help is greatly appreciated.
hello guyz
I own A xperia m2 DUAL(D2302) was running on 4.4.2.
I have putten a pattern lock and for some reason i have forgotten it.
So i was trying to BYPASS LOCKSCREEN without losing data. Because data in INTERNAL WAS so important for me.
So I have searched for some tricks to bypass this then i have returned with a trick that was to put a file in CWM and flash it that it will bypass your lockscreen.
For that i have to have CWM on my device and for CWM I have to unlock my bootloader.
So i followed all process as mentioned on XDA and Unlocked bootloader and flashed CUSTOM kernel with CWM.
But on first attempt i accidently flashed doomlord kernel of D2305 . It was flashed succesfully and i was able to boot in CWM i made backup also from CWM.
but in cwm backup i have only system backup and boot.img file are there the data backup file was missing. It was because of the error i have found in CWM that can't mount /data.
Then i have flashed the zip file to bypass the lockscreen i have got. It was also flashed succesfully.
Then i applied reboot device.
Then SONY logo comes for a while and disappears. and then the light of display increasing and decreasing.
After i have realized of wrong kernel i have flashed the right kernel with cwm recovery but for that i am stuck at animation comes after XPERIA logo.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME I WANT MY DATA BACK HARDLY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Got my new XZP yesterday, unlocked it fine. But Im a dumbass and WIPED THE WHOLE THING so there's No OS. No matter how many times I try to Wipe it and Flash TWRP it Won't boot into TWRP. It won't even give me a Sony Logo. It only gives me the "Your device is unlocked - Boot in 5 seconds " message and then Endlessly will do that. I can't boot into recovery. I need to know if there's a way to remedy this I'm desperate as hell cause I rooted my Xperia X just fine. I even used Newflasher to flash a new updated Stock ROM to it. Seemed to work fine, still wouldn't give me a Sony Logo or Boot into recovery.
PLEASE HELP!!! Edit: I re flashed just a system .sin and that allowed me to get back into TWRP. I still have no clue why flashing a ROM didn't work. But I have TWRP and an SD Card.

that is very very interesting... did you try flashtool and flash older android version?
Can you boot into Fastboot and flash a valid rom via newflasher?
It could be possible, that in fastboot the screen is still dark
