[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

[Root] [CWM] Xperia J

Root and CWM for Xperia J Finally!
Thanks to srl3gx and Bin4ry for their awsome work!
and ME for taking risk!
Make sure u are in 11.0.A.3.28 or 11.0.A.3.18 firmware ALONE with Locked Bootloader..
This method Dosent Work on 11.0.A.7.5 Firmware! (working on it! )
for .28 firmware download from here and flash it
if u dont have a flash tool download it from here for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)
since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that
1.download and extract d ST26.zip ive uploaded
2.open flash tool
3.click devices>import
4.navigate to d file u've extracted
5.now xperia j driver is installed
u can now flash without problems
Now back to rooting...
Root first! thn apply CWM!
Steps for Rooting:
1.extract Root_J.zip
2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings
3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users
4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)
Steps for CWM:
1.extract CWM_J.zip
2.'usb debugging' on
3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)
4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..
Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM!
You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!
reboot to system and see if supersu is installed finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!
CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..
use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.
Comment if it worked for you...let others know!
Tested on my xperia J and Miro
Dont restore factory setting or else CWM will vanish...n u hav to reflash whole firmware again
for questions and problems ask srl3gx
HOPE I HELPED...hit thanks
Sorry for the last update! It Dindn't Work for many devices!

wow finally it arrived.

Anyone tried this already?

Followed your instructions on my Experia J. I have build 11.0.A.3.18 (UK on orange/EE). I decided against flashing to 3.28 and to try with 3.18, but to get the Flashtool working I did the following:
Once the ST26.zip file is extracted (using Winrar) I then have to open this extracted file again in WinRar to get the files that should live at C:\Flashtool\devices\ST26 (loader.sin etc.). I then had to copy the original file ST26.ftd to c:\Flashtool\devices. I enabled USB debugging in the Developer settings on the phone and Flashtool started working properly.
I was able to root and CWM the device as per your instructions on buiild 11.0.A.3.18. Cheers.

The major problem with this CWM method is that it's designed for the Tipo, so when you try to flash a zip made for jlo, it fails. I had to remove the assert from the top of the scrip to flash with this.

Thanks for trying on .18 firmware... I'll update d thread

Have you tried flashing a compiled ROM? It fails as the CWM thinks it's on a Tipo device.
Plus if you wipe your system partition, you lose CWM, it's not a good solution. I've posted a CWM as a boot.img in my CM10 thread

OK, plus this will work for people who cannot unlock their bootloader. But perhaps you should put a warning as some people may want to wipe their system partition before they restore a backup (which will work) but if they for what ever reason try to reboot the phone they will be lost and will have to restore via flashtool!

thanks for report...updatd

very good work thx!

I've updated my xperia j to firmware 11.0.A.7.5 and now i can't root it with this method...
Any help?

Yea im the same 11.0.A.7.5 cant you flash the phone with older firmware?
Okay i flashed that firmware from first page and now my phone is rooted thanks alot

If we can get ftf file of 11.0.A.7.5 firmware and flash it with Flashtool without wiping data (just wiping cache) maybe we don't loose root... but where can we found that ftf file???

/Just flash your tipo's firmware via flashtool.
Sorry you have to power off your phone and run flashtool in pc and connect data cable in your phone pressing that time volume+ BUTTON for flashboot or something and volume- BUTTON for flashmode.flashmode is for flashing firmware.I used for my e dual.

U need boot to cwm wipe data/factory reset then turn off u phone and flash!

Did you try to keep battery off for 10-15 seconds? If you remove and put in a few seconds phone will boot by himself and wont allow you to enter flashmode/fastboot

File manager in recovery[AromaFileManager]

Its just a share
As we don't have TWRP in any of our custom kernels so we dont have file manager in recovery. To have this feature, Just go here and download the zip of latest Aroma file manager.
Place it in your root of SD card. Now whenever you want file manager in recovery, just install the zip you downloaded and you will have File manager in recovery. Note that the zip does nothing with any of you data/app during installation it just opens file manager

Any screenshoot....

Connect device to pc with usb debugging on and in adb command prompt, type "adb reboot recovery" now your device should reboot into stock recovery

Reboot into Stock Recovery
Install Xposed Framework and then install Gravity Box or advance power menu modules. After that you have a Reboot option in a Power Menu. When you press the Reboot button it will give you another options like - Recovery, soft reboot, bootloader, Reboot. Just press the bootloader or recovery options and will straight go the Stock Recovery.

Put the update on a MicroSD card, turn the device off, insert the MicroSD card into the phone, boot into recovery and flash from the MicroSD.
