[Q] phone stuck at boot saying"SONY ERICSSON"

i flashed my sony ericsson xperia ray with an ics updated which said it was pre rooted and once i was done its stuck at boot and it does not even look like its in boot loop!
i factory reset it
cleared partition
cleared dalvic cache
and then installed from sd card
i also tried to connect it to the comp to flash a official ics update but the usb debugging is OFF
is there any way that i could turn ON the usb debugging from command prompt??
if its at the wrong section please do put it in the right section
thanks in advance

Did you try using flashtool to flash the stock Rom for Ray?
Or even SEUS?

A few way to ressurect your phone :
Unlock its bootloader,flash a custom pre-rooted kernel,and flash a custom rom that are compatible with the krrnel,and hope your device can be turn on normally

You are using cwm recovery. You need to flash twrp recovery img using fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This recovery will allow you to mount usb

On your pc open the Rom zip and place the boot.img in the directory that you fastboot flash from. You need to fastboot flash the boot.img using the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now reboot and it should work

yeah

also my battery is 1 % and i dont know how to charge it (i just saw that) maybe my phone is rebooting cuz i dont have battery but it is inpossible to charge it cuz i dont have any rom installed

ok listen...can you flash stock.ftf rom to your tipo? just download flashtool (google it) and find stock.ftf from general section...one other way is to flash vergeance kernel with flashtool, enter cwm and flash a rom from android development (or cm10 from original android development) if you dont understand something tell me....
P.S. after you flashed stock rom or vergeance kernel turn on your phone and put charger to see if it charging

21/050/2013 17:50:43 - ERROR - Error in processHeader : 31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
21/050/2013 17:50:43 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
wtf this is the error i see when i try to flash the ftf file

it seems that you have wrong header.sin or you didn't enter the flashmode properly. make sure you get notice 'the device is plugged with flashmode' or something like that when you plug in the usb to your pc. to fix the header.sin issue you'll need the correct one. you can find it on the same thread where you got your tft.

i think that ico98 dont know how to fix header.sin and its better to flash a kernel from fastboot...its more easy...do you agree?

I'm not sure about that. he didn't give any specific info about how messed up his system is. if he install any stock ICS based rom (without any custom kernel) his problem mostly could be fixed by reflashing the rom and wipe the data. flashing a kernel won't fix this issue. aside from that scenario, there are several more scenario i.e:
1 he could have install a JB based rom then he install a ICS rom, completely dead. need to flash complete tft or reflash JB rom and wipe data.
2 ICS rom with custom ICS kernel. can be fixed by flash a stock kernel
3 etc etc...there are a lot of scenario
my main point is that flashing a kernel doesn't always fix anything. in most cases, I only suggest that step for more advanced user. without enough data about the system condition flashing a complete tft will be a general and always working method.
anyway, before we do any 'flash' thing, IMO wipe data might be a good choice. most new member forget about that important step and ended up with a bricked device.

ok then...i said to flash kernel and to choose a custom rom (gimlo, paradox etc) but if ico98 download again ftf file will he have this problem again? (header.sin)
P.S. sometimes i forgot to wipe system and data when i am to cm10 and i want to go back to ics and the only problem i have is some apps to force close....no brick only fc
P.S.2 i installed kernels from xperia mini pro and insecure kernel E dual and my phone didnt brick, just not boot...maybe my phone has immunity at brick ahahahahahahaha

well...it doesn't means that your system is immune. you're just lucky enough to never experienced a hardbrick.

Thank Youuuuu !!!!!

[Xperia M][CWM][Unlocked BL]C1905 15.1.C.1.17 stock kernel with CWM (dirty)

This release is deprecated by a new release.
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480556
I just packed a (dirty) flashable boot image for the Xperia M (C1905), for unlocked bootloader.
This image contains the kernel from Build 15.1.C.1.17 (C1905), and modified stock ramdisk. I don't know how other devs pack their kernel with recovery but this is how I just get it done.
Don't try it with C1904 yet!
To check the model of your Xperia M, go to settings > about phone. "Model" should show either C1904 or C1905. If it says C1905, you can proceed, but if not, stand back.
If you are really brave and wouldn't mind losing all your data and need to reflash with Sony Update Service, you can try with your C1904 and please kindly report your results back.
Please backup your data before proceeding! I am not responsible for any data loss!
I've tried on my own Xperia M (C1905) and it sort of worked, but I haven't tried any of the functions. You are warned!
** You need unlocked bootloader and busybox installed to use this. Before you unlock the bootloader, you need to backup all your data and remove the SD card because everything will be deleted! **
Known problems:
Screen shifts by half when screen updates
USB does not work at all
If USB cable is connected when trying to enter recovery, it will freeze and you need to remove the battery
Install instructions (skip to step 5 if you already unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed busybox):
Install the latest Android SDK platform tools on your computer.
Root and install busybox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457174
busybox is mandatory for this to work!
Backup TA partition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598 (do this if you want to relock in the far future)
Unlock bootloader: All data will be lost! SD card will be formatted!
Download the attached zip and extract the boot image.
Power off your Xperia M, hold the Volume Up button and connect USB cable, release button when blue LED is on.
Execute:
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Wait for it to show finished.
Disconnect USB cable.
Boot instructions:
Power off your Xperia M.
Disconnect USB!!!
Power on by holding the power button. Your Xperia M should vibrate once like normal boot
You should feel a second vibration. When you feel it, press Volume Up once (no need to hold down).
You should feel another vibration.
You have booted into CWM!

You have C1904 right? Do you have the latest 15.1.C.1.17 firmware rooted? If you have could you please dump the boot partition so I can check?
As root, execute
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 > /storage/sdcard0/boot-dump.img
Then upload the boot-dump.img here?

Actually, I myself prefer AOSP over CM, so if I start developing custom ROMs for this device it has to be AOSP. I wouldn't mind building a clean CWM for this device though.

great :good:

Could you please unquote the OP? It is subjected to change, and your quote actually takes a lot of space.
EDIT: Thanks for doing that.

hi alvinwong, i'll share my experience after i flash this boot.img
first, if i down in menu of cwm the menu seems like sparated (broken), and down again its normal, and if i down again it'll sparated, and so on
two, when i try to backup in last i got an error notif (i forget the specific text but its error notif)
and last, when i try to flash a sound mod to my phone i got bootloop, and when i try to factory reset it still bootloop (I guess after factory reset my phone should be boot normally)
but i appreciate your great work :good:
i hope you'll fix it, cheers! :highfive:
