My phone bricked after OTA. I checked all tutorials but whenever i try to flash ftf files, flashtool is keeping to say open debugging.
Before trying flashtool i flashed it several times with wotanserver.
Please help me.
Did you try to repair it using PC Companion?
This will do a clean flash with a complete original Image.
Thanks for your help i fixed it with flashtool
USB Connection constantly up and down
Hi guys,
I made an OTA update to my xperia Ray ST18 because the guy that sold me the phone didn't warn me it has been unlocked. Now it's dead!
I'm really desperate.
I tried Sony Update Tool to try to flash the new ROM. It detects the phone and says it has flashed OK. Then I disconnect the cable and try to turn on the phone but it doesn't start.
The only response I get when I try to restart the phone is a short vibration but the phone still doesn't start.
I don't know if it's normal but when I put the phone to charge there's no light turning on. Is it normal?
I'm also trying to flash with Flashtool but the phone now keeps loosing USB connection.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Normaly is Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) the best Way
to repair your Phone.
If the Phone loos USB-Connection, check USB (ADB+SDK) Driver
or install new.
Maybe a other Way is "S1tool" it´s a small and crippled subset of SETOOL2 service tool.
Install it, all USB Driver inside.
Shut down your Virusprogram an startet it.
Press the Restore Button in S1
Bring Phone in Fastboot
(Loudness Button UP and USB Connect, you see blue Light on the Home Button)
Wait arround 5 Second..... Finsh
I had the same Problem about flash on my Ray.
The Phone was dead, only the Vibration works on started.
If i press the Start-Botton again, the Home-Botton-Light flash,
that´s was all.
New flashing with SEUS brought no success
S1 is also a good Tool for easy "unblock Bootloader in 10 Second"
And the CyanogenMod 7.20
(original update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-urushi-signed)
ist the best Firmware for the Ray.
Absolut fast, so overclocking ca do.
My Ray works with 1,6 GHz without Probs.
All what you need find it here:

FOR THE FUTURE, NO OTA UPDATE IF BOOTLOADER IS OPEN - THE FIRMWARE IS THEN BLOCKED FOR OTA
Greeting Onex1
Don't know if anyone can help me in my situation but I have a major problem arising from an OTA update too, my phone just refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating OTA my phone bricked!
So, I searched high and low for a solution and ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this.. Hard resets, updating with Sony Update Service but nothing works. There's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage. I have a perfectly good phone in that everything works bar the SIM and I'd hate to have to buy another one!
Any suggestions anyone or is my phone screwed for good? :/
Hi guys,
I have decided to make this thread to help the people who are not sure how to fix their brick. We get a lot of threads with people panicking because their phone is bricked. I wanted to avoid this, by making this general guide to get rid of that awful brick. I know that there is already a thread like this available, but it faded away and I wanted to be more clear. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170. I find it a bit messy... If I'm offending someone, please say so! I'm not trying to bash Toledo_JAB!
Ok, now that has been made clear we can start
First of all, I want to give you a few tips to avoid a brick and how to prepare for it.
1. Make sure to have your phone’s battery charged 100%. Just to be sure.
2. Always make a back-up of your data. Just root your phone, download Titanium Backup and back up those precious apps! When rooting is too much for you, use Helium(formerly Carbon) or Mobile GO. Both work fine. If you have a custom recovery installed, make a Nandroid. This is a copy of your whole phone in the state before the brick, and recovering this will get your phone back to the land of the living.
3. Just avoid the ‘’vold.fstab trick’’. It is dangerous and can cause hard bricks(yes, hard bricks!)
4. Always be prepared that it could happen. When unlocking the bootloader, it can happen. When giving incorrect permissions to a system app, it can happen. BE PREPARED, AND JUST MAKE A FRIGGIN’ BACK-UP!
What is a brick?
A brick(on an Android device) is when there are uncorrectly modified system files that cause your Android device not to boot. Your device will refuse to boot completely, because it can’t simply load some stuff that are vital for the eventual boot-up. Something you don’t want, right?
Before we can begin, you have to know there are two kinds of bricks. Soft bricks and hard bricks. The most important difference between these two is that a soft brick can be fixed, and a hard brick can’t be fixed!
The most common sign of a soft brick will be that when you boot your phone the bootanimation will play, then freeze and then start all over again. This is also known as a ‘’bootloop’’. Sometimes the phone won’t reboot automatically, but just keep booting and booting without loading Android correctly. You can let it boot for a day, but it won’t work and your battery will die. Don't worry, we can fix this!
The most common sign of a hard brick is that your phone won’t do anything. No, really. Nothing. Try not to panick when you see this, but keep calm. If you have your warranty, you can laugh like a maniac because Sony will send you a new one. If not, still try to follow the steps listed below.
Let’s start. There is a difference between people who have a custom recovery, and people who don’t have a custom recovery.
People with a custom recovery can restore their Nandroid(if you have made one, ofcourse…).
People without a custom recovery will have to follow my humble steps.
Method 1: use Androxyde’s mighty Flashtool to flash a stock .ftf.
For extra info, use this extremely detailed guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 . It says Xperia Z, but it is the same for the E.
1. Download Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
2. Install it. Now locate the folder where you installed it(probably C:/Flashtool). Open the drivers folder, and run the file inside it.
3. In the huge list, scroll down to the bottom and tick the ‘’flashmode’’ and ‘’fastboot’’ drivers. A common misunderstood problem is that you need the specific phone drivers, and that the drivers for the Tipo(dual), Miro, J and E(dual) are missing. But this isn’t a problem, I can assure you. Those have been automatically be installled when you plugged your phone in your computer the first time.
4. When installed, make sure to download a stock .ftf firmware for your device. These are the Android images that have been released by Sony, which have been manually pulled of the phones.
For Tipo, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567
For Miro, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998277
For J, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385526
For E, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553609
Pick one you like . It doesn’ actually matter. Download it, and put it in the C:/Flashtool/firmwares folder.
5. Open Flashtool. If you’re on a 64bit computer, pick the 64bit version.
6. Click the thunder icon in the upper left corner.
7. Tick ‘’flashmode’’.
8. Select your .ftf. You can try to untick ‘’data’’ and ‘’cache’’, and then flash. Perhaps your apps will still be there! If this doesn’t work, you can tick them.
9. Hit ‘’flash’’. Flashtool will prepare the files.
10. A popup window will appear. Now, listen carefully: be sure that your phone is off, and get your micro USB cable. First: put it in the computer. Now, what you have to do is press(and hold) the volume down button and plug the cable in your phone. A green led will apppear.
11. Let Flashtool flash! After it’s finished, boot your phone and see the magic happen .
Note: sometimes you get an error with system.sin. To fix this, pick another firmware or redownload the same and delete the ‘’prepared’’ folder in C:/Flashtool.
This should work! If not, try the methods listed below, and otherwise don’t be shy to ask. If the led turns green you are completely safe. Try another computer and avoid Windows 8.
Method 2: even simpler than method 1, but it should work fine. We will be using Sony Update Service.
1. Download the SUS from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
2. Run, and accept the license agreement.
3. Locate your device, click it and hit ‘’next’’.
4. Now follow the instructions. It’s as simple as that.
5. Your data will definitely be erased, but your phone will be fixed again!
Note: Sony Update Service will refuse to work for devices with an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is unlocked you have no other choice than to use the Flashtool method.
This should work fine!
Method 3: my least favorite method. It didn’t work for me, but perhaps it will for you. Just try. We will be using the Sony PC Companion software… If you haven’t already installed it, do it from here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
Make sure that your phone is powered off!
1. Disregard any instructions to connect the phone until you complete step 9
2. In the welcome screen you will see the different modules available for you including the "support zone" option. Click on "Start" below it.
3. On the next page Click on "Start" under "Phone/Tablet Software update"
At this point if you get an error stating that "unable to install update components" or "server is bussy" Please proceed to step 12. If you not see that error then continue with step 4.
4. The program will show a window saying "Could not find phone/tablet". Click on the option below that reads: "Repair my phone/tablet" the program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update
5. Choose the option to continue.
6. The program will issue a final message warning you of possible data lost during the update. Click on the checkmark and then on "Next/Continue".
7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
8. Choose the Phone from the list then click on "next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then wile pressing and holding the volume down button, connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the volume button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)
10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).
11. If the phone is connected properly, PC Companion will proceed with the update ( It will tell you to let go of the back key) then wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen to disconnect the unit.

Allright! That's it!
Just a few requests
1. If you seek help, don't quote the whole original post(OP). Please!
2. Don't make useless posts! If you want to thank me, press that button. If not, that's fine too. I don't mind.
3. Be polite and try to be as clear as possible in english. I know some of you don't speak it very well, but please, try your best!

No. Flashtool will only fix the bootloop, not cause a new one.

IMP- About drivers automatically getting installed (fastboot & flashmode drivers have to be manually installed)
1)works on Win7, Win8 not on XP
2)you must be connected to the internet for automatic driver install (& also it must be enabled in settings somewhere[if you get "serching for drivers" its enabled])
3)Win8 not reliable as windows 7 so......... 7 recommended

if you got bootloop you did it correctly .....flash stock ftf after that, you are ready
it worked
I used the first method (as that was the only option available for me) and it indeed solve the problem of bootloop.
here is what happened exactly:
I used Windows 7 32 bit pc as guide asks to avoid w8 -8.1.
followed steps exactly as said in guide but after connecting the phone (xperai E dual c 1605) there was error and flashing process was aborted but meanwhile some driver got installed. Its strange because I remember that I had installed all necessary driver (had connected my phone quite few times on this pc and had connected phone by vol down and connect to pc to get green light way as well ) and had also installed driver through flashtool as said in steps in tutorial..
anyway I rebooted my pc because I thought that would complete driver installation process and tried again but it did not worked and again some driver got installed but then this time instead of rebooting I tried again immediately and it worked this time.
So if u get error and instead some driver get installed just try again and most probably it will work
tip : use right click Run as admin on any exe file
PS : quote: . In the huge list, scroll down to the bottom and tick the ‘’flashmode’’ and ‘’fastboot’’ drivers. in latest flashtool version those options are right at top :silly:

I have flashed it and everything is fine but now I am not sure whether my bootloader is locked or unlocked .. I searched but there is no definate way to tell .. in xperia Z forum some asked to flash a kernel and if you get error it means its bootloader is locked (though I am not sure if it will harm phone and again cause bootloop or not ( off cou2rse I wont flash xperia Z kernel on xperia E dual ))

This forum exists to help you, but we can't do that with this information!
Please answer this questions:
-Can you get into flashmode? Phone off, USB in computer then hold volume down button while inserting USB in phone. A green LED will show.
-When you start the phone, does it vibrate?
-Is there a red LED blinking when you start the phone?
-What have you done with your phone that it became bricked like this?
That should give us the information we need.'

Try using flashtool. It always works for me.
I know there are probably lots of threads about this, but I couldn't find one about E3 since it's a relatively new phone, but to point now
So I tried to update my Xperia E3 to it's latest firmware via the Sony pc companion(it was the only option) and during the update ,once it was downloaded it prompted to connect the phone through the USB cable, once done it began installing the update but when it was like at 80-85% it showed an error saying that internet connection isn't available and gave two options to either retry or cancel, now the internet was just working fine, I checked google, Youtube everything and it was working, but every time I hit retry it gave the same option ,so eventually I canceled the update,
Now the phone was switched off so I tried switching it on and it just froze at the sony boot logo screen, restarting with power button+volume up only restarts it to the same situation(stuck at logo screen), I did look up for a solution but couldn't find one that fit,
Of course I did switch it off using the off button at the back of phone(under the back cover), and I know about Sony Update service but that's no longer supported(it required the phone in off state), pc companion can't detect an off phone and when it does it starts phone to boot frozen screen and fails at detect step, another thing I found was a custom tool(possibly just SUS) that could flash a firmware in an off phone but however there is no firmware available for my version, since I live in India, so there's that , any help is appreciated,
A few things:
-The battery was at 91% when update started
-There was no root attempt etc made on phone, it was complete stock
-I did update the firmware once earlier but just from the phone it was a 2 mp update, no pc
-When I started this update there was already a 29 mb something update available without pc, and that's pretty much all, like I said any help is appreciated
Don't worry buddy, your phone doesn't die yet. Actually, PC Companion (PCC) has repair phone/tablet function.
Open PCC, click Start button in Support Zone, then continue to click Start button under Phone/Tablet Software Update and you will see "Repair your phone/tablet". Just follow its instruction. remember using the hard reset button under the back cover to turn off the device first and don't turn it on.
Anyway, what is your model? d22xx? i can't provide the firmware unless I know exactly the model.
It worked

Hello, my device is D2212 and I have similar problem.
I've rooted and unlocked bootloader using this method from XDA forum to root Xperia E3. However after unlocking bootloader and root my device my PC and my notebook doesn't recognize my device to transfer data or access data of cellphone. It keeps in charging mode.
Today it was really weird and lagging way too much so I tried to reset to factory setting. After that my device does not start android it keep stuck on blue screen right after display of Xperia and android.
I tried this method you suggested of PC Companion but it does not work since PC does not recognize my device anymore since rooting.
I need help here, please.
O just bought this device last week.
Thanks in advance.

I got a xperia e4g some days ago and the first thing I see is a large number of bloatware. Root unavailable (sigh) so going to flash custom rom. My previous phones were all rooted, with cwm recovery and custom rom and even after I bricked them a couple of times, Odin and a proper firmware fixed everything so nothing to panic. After few attempts at flashing customs, my phone ended in bootloop. Still nothing to panic, it happened earlier. I downloaded Flashtool, used Xperia Firm to get a proper firmware (E2003_Customized UK_1293 7276_25.0.A.1.28_R6A), checked the drivers and loaded the flash. Flash ended in three errors:
- unable to read from phone,
- processing from loader.sin finished with errors,
- error in process header5 : access denied
I have no idea what it means or how to fix that. PC companion has a blank screen anywhere I look (because I unlocked the bootloader?) so I can't use it either. Another issue which I have seen earlier but ignored it : e4g does not stay in flashmode. The flashmode is on for about minute or maybe two and then it goes into startup. Fastboot works normally.
Any help in unbricking my phone greatly appreciated.

1. Lock your bootloader by pressing blu button in flashtool.

4. Plug your phone in flashmode and follow instructionss
Its normal that flashmode will reboot your device after waiting while
I rooted mobile a while ago so suddenly one day it went in bootloop. So i tried to factory reset it after that still it didn't work out. After that i decided to just go for other rom so i unlocked my bootloader and tried to install cm 12.1. But wifi doesn't work on it also also it doesn't detect sim card.
Can anyone tell me how to set it to old device. I don't want any fashionable thing no root no recovery nothing i just want a phone back with wifi working and not rebooting like hell. I tried to download the original .ftf file but that also not flashing showing session ending error and please don't tell me to reinstall drivers i tried it already. my xperia L model is c2014. I also tried emma and those how don't know emma doesn't support some models and sadly one of which is my device. Plz anyone can tell me a easy process or something hopefull that i can try to get my phone back.And is sony service center will be able to help me if i give them my phone to service?

It is indeed a driver issue. If WiFi isn't working, you can flash stock ftf and then install whichever rom you were installing. Firstly, to get back to stock and relock your bootloader you need your TA. If you didn't backup your TA before unlocking your bootloader, You'll have to live with some functions of the stock rom lost. Restoring the TA locks your bootloader.
Okay so, if you have the stock ftf, head over to your flashtool folder, navigate to drivers and open Flashtool-drivers.exe.
For Xperia L, the drivers you need - "Flashmode Drivers", "Fastboot drivers", "Common drivers for Taoshan".
If install fails, you may need to disable driver signature check. Just google that, it's pretty simple.
If you don't see such a file, just get it from here - [Drivers] FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack (v1.5) [20140318]
Then connect your phone in FLASHmode. Not Fastboot. Fastboot has a blue LED and Flashmode has no LED (You'll see red and green flash before the no LED). Your device should be listed under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as SEMC Flash Device or Generic Flash device. If it says S1 Service or something similar, right click and update Driver Software, "Browse my computer for driver software", and let me pick from a list. Uncheck Show compatible Hardware, scroll to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, and select SEMC Flash device. Reconnect your device to check if it detects it as SEMC or Generic Flash Device. If yes, try to install your ftf.
If you were already on this driver, try switching to the S1 Service. (Not sure where to find that but it never worked for me. Your mileage may vary. Give it a search).
Also, if you take it to a service center, they'll probably charge you some money and probably replace the whole board. Thus, Hakuna Matata. Keep calm, your phone is absolutely fine. Never tried Emma though. Flashtool ftw!
