[Q] Xperia Ray st18i booting prob ..

Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.
Plz help .. Thanks in Advance

Try using flash tool!
and flash stock ftf through that.....

Hi
I confirm, just had the same problem while updating a custom ROM.
Get the Stock ftf file for your phone/model then use Flashtool to flash it.
Search the forum for the proper links there are likely to be all there somewhere
Hopefully, your phone will be back to life on a stock version.
And yes, if you want to re-install a custom ROM you need to re-do all the process: root, (optional) unlock Bootloader etc.
Good luck.
PS: I saw a thread saying to use the SEUS to restore the phone to stock. Worth a try but for me it didn't work since SEUS was telling my phone already had the latest version. Fix hard bricked ray

[Q] [C2304] Some help to unbrick my XC (red led)

So guys,
After some ports, my XC2304 isn't able to run on flashmode to re-install firmware. Some days ago I create an ftf file for it be flashed by Perfect Flash, the results was sucessfully. Perharps, today I was porting a Z1 rom based on our last update .13. After install the rom by CMW the phone doesn't boot for anyway.​
I tryed to reset by back button, no response;
I tryed to remove battery and no response;
I've tryed to boot into flash mode by pressing volume - but only stills on a red led.
I follow some tutorials but no one worked for me, the main problem is "device not recognized" by windows.
Can't connect on Perfect Flash\Sony Update service cause the flash mode doesn't appears.
Well, I was very excited to porting my new rom based on 4.3 AOSP, was some little bugs that I as just solving, but now I'm not able to continue my ports
If someone had the SAME problem and solved it, I'll be glad if you help me!
Best Regards.​

I did the same thing like you and had same issue.
Unfortunately, we cant use Flashtool/ SUS/ Perfect Flash to unbrick because there have no driver for our xc.
So, I sent back to SONY yesterday.

Fix your problem using this way

Do this before the above link :
remove your back panel and then put your Xperia C for charging and then hit the small reset button near Sim card slot using a pen or a refill; then wait for 5 resonds and stop charging... by this you will be able to switch off your Xperia C and then you can use the link provided above to for your problem

this method doesnt work when you flash a rom for a different device like i did i already order a new motherboard for my xc. this only will solve it...changing motherboard.

And by the way if Red Light is shown then it is Soft Brick and you can very easily repair it. If that light is also not there then you can say that it is a hard brick.

Z3 in bootloop

The device just keeps rebooting endlessly, I flashed moonbreaker rom and when rebooting the device this happened.
No idea what to do to resolve it, please can someone assist me, the device is completley unsuable. Only option is to return it and hope for a new one I'm guessing?

It would be better if you asked in respective ROM thread ,not opening a new one, just sayin..
You can either :
- enter recovery,flash disable exposed zip,you can find in moonbreaker thread,and see if it solved it.
- clean flash prerooted rom ,you can find one in general section
If all fails,you can enter fastboot mode and flash ftf via flashtool or even try with PC Companion if everything else fails.There should be a repair option within PC companion,haven't used it though,but you should find it easily.

I went into twrp and factory reset the phone and it is still broken! i really need someone to help me im very stuck here!!!

Can you report the exact steps you took prior to this happening? Which files you flashed and in what order? Also which version of the Z3 do you own?
Have you tried restoring a nandroid if you made one?

If your boot loader is locked you can just repair with pc companion.

[Completed] [Q] Need Help for Fixing My Xperia SP (C5302)

Dear Friends,
I am Arindom Samajdar from India. Though I did not have any theoretical learning over android programming, I got a lot of helps & knowledge from XDA Threads on this specially on rooting of android phones. And truly speaking from following the guides of this forum I really rotted my Xperia SP (C5302) successfully about 6 months before and installed CM11 Rom via CWM recovery mode in it.
I was using it flawlessly till 10 days back also. But 10 days before I planned to roll back it to its stock Sony Rom as I was planning to sell it & get a new phone.
But at this time I did not studied mutch & simply started to flash the .tft file of the stock rom which I had prepared long back by the help of Flashtool, when I was rooting my device first. But this time during flashing the file there gone something very wrong and the flashing could not completed over night also & unfortunately during this process battery of my phone drained out & the flashing interrupted. When I checked my phone in morning, I found that it is in switch off condition. When I connected it to charger, first it shows bright green light in its notification light (like it gives while connecting in Flash mode), after 1 or 2 mins it gives Red light with SONY logo in its screen & stayed as it is for another 1 or 2 mins. Then again green light and after some time again red light with SONY logo. And continues this loop. While I tried to switch it on it just vibrate & gives SONY logo on screen, nothing else & after some times goes off.
After several studies over the websites & XDA forums, I understood that there was a error occurred while flashing Kernel. But when I tried to fix it by the methods suggested over the webpages, I got nothing to work for my device as for every process (be it by Flash Tool or by CMD window of windows) the flashing is not being started at all while I am trying to flash the Kernel & after an hour also when I am disconnecting my phone, CMD or Flash tool is showing error of Flash failure & stating it as "Too many Links". I can't understand what this meant to.
My device being connected with PC via Flash Tool both in Flashmode & Fast Boot mode, that means my device is only soft bricked & I am sure that there must be some way to get it back working.
Please help me guys..

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. See if this helps, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708815 Also, maybe this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964

Hi Friend, Thanks for your reply. But my issue is not with the ftf file. I am having the ftf file. My issue is flashing of the same.
Whenever I am trying to flash the ftf file it does not go beyond "Flashing Data" stage. And when I try to flash only Kernel, it does not starts yet.

i tried that but it doesn't work it gives me an error when i connect the phone

and my bootloader is still locked

Can u still access the recovery?
I'm assuming yes then why don't you try a custom ROM.
Just search the XDA Forum. Your ll get official ROM as well.

perss volume up and power for a while
It will shut down your phone
Then, dont connect your phone to pc
use xperia companion and choose repair
Finally press volume down and connect to pc

I tried that and it didn't work but i fixed it
i can't access recovery or use xperia companion because it gives an error but i fixed it by downloading an ftf and flashing it with flashtool i then updated my phone to marshmallow with xperia companion, but thank you for replying
