[Resolved] [Q] Xperia Ray OTA Brick Problem

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? :/

i have the same problem, so i asked Alejandrissimo he said that i should reunlock simlock and it costs 10$.

I flashed stock ROM's some times and simlock file was ignored but my phone worked and works.
Why lock yourself to one carrier when your phone can work on many ?
Simlock as I think has nothing to do with your problem.

Relock your bootloader and flash that you want...

Unlocking the Simlock
Hello everyone, After attempting to upgrade Gingerbread to ICS on my Xperia Play I used the Testpoint to unblock the bootloader..it turns out that it is now bricked...brilliant of me, I know..using the testpoint it did allow me to use the S1tool and it finds it, however it says that it gives me the Not recognized simlock certificate error message. I used the Sony Bootloader unlock page and ran it with fastboot and it tells me that the phone is already unlocked and using *#*#7378423#*#* it says the bootloader unlock YES... I have already tried flashing the OS, it says that it´s done it but it ignores the simlock.ta and it still wont boot. All I get is a brief vibration and no led. I managed to install the ADB drivers and could enter Fastboot mode, I flashed the kernel and it recognizes it when I open Flashboot but still no boot. What can I do??
In this thread named "simlock.ta problem ignored by flashtool" it says that Mr Alejandrissimo told someone how to unlock it for 10.00, I´m not sure if that may be the solution. Can someone tell me please how to contact him so I can get that information? I´m really lost here I would definitely appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time and I apologize for the long message, I just wanted to provide as much information as I could.

Solution
Brother Flash this file it solve your problem your device will alive
but other sim problem I don't know
I have same problem......
Good Luck.........!

It's completely normal for the flashtool to ignore the "simlock.ta". Now when you search in the service menu you have the possibility to unlock your bootloader "bootloader unlock YES". When you do it it's going to be: "bootloader unlocked YES".
You must put the device in fastboot mode by pressing the volume down button then connecting the micro USB to your phone (the USB part should already be in). Then you have a blue led notification. try using adb and search for this file "twrp2.4.3-mint" in the forum. extract the boot.img then flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img (do a little search how to do it manually). Now you should have the touch version of
TWRP recovery. Put the zip image of any ROM on a sim card then use the TWRP to flash it and get you phone running fingers-crossed.
For the SIM card, i did have another pb related to the SIM card holder pins (contact pbs)...
Anyway, good luck.

Thank You

simlock.ta
Hi there,
I flashed stock rom using the Flashtool but didnt exclude simlock .ta (on the xperia M2). since then my phone has been simlocked.
When I connect to Flashtool it shows that the phone is unlocked also I am able to flash ftf firmwares but when I try to flassh a .img file it gives me Failure message. The same thing happens when I try to flash using the fastboot.
Emma also shows that the phone is locked!
now everything except the simcard works ok.
could you please help me to solve this problem?
cheers

Unfortunately no,
It seems that the developers who already know the solution prefer to watch us!
Also I didnt have a good response from Sony Service!
The only way that I didnt try is to send your phone to the Sony repair center.

I ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY XPERIA V T25I
I just updated my Xperia V to latest android 4.3 via flashtool.
log file said
This file is ignored : simlock.ta
and now my xperia V Sim / network services stopped and it started asking network unlock PIN.
before update , it was perfectly working and was unlocked
if anybody finds solution , pls let me know

Sony Xperia E3 Bricked

I tried to put AOSP 5.1 from FXP in my phone, and my cellphone bricked. It wont turn on, it keeps the Sony Logo 2 seconds. It haven't connection with flashtool. Please Help me.

Hi. Can you give me more information what you did exactly step by step. So maybe i can help you. My E3 was bricked too. I found a solution. But i need more information.

Flash stock rom it'll unbrick it

#4
Thank you answer back! I did exactly the following:
The model is my Xperia E3 D2212 dual sim.
- Unlocked the bootloader, :laugh:
- CWM installed a custom recovery, :laugh:
- I reinstalled the original rom, :laugh:
- I made a backup of the entire system using CWM.
And everything went super normal way, without complications.
The mistake was when he wanted to installing a custom ROM called "AOSP_L_MR1_150718_flamingo" because I found out later that he had not read that it was for ANOTHER XPERIA as follow the you tube tutorial . The ROM's for another Xperia, if I remember correctly.
After doing the installation process of the new AOSP ROM, the phone is less than a minute on the logo of SONY XPERIA down with, looped, can not enter the bootloader, and no longer recognizes the PC. I can not recognize it at FlashTool. I think that's all. :crying:
I greatly appreciate your attention.
I ended up editing this text in the google translator, then I'm sorry, if you are not very good.
Thank you

Could you help me? I can not make the pc recognize him ... He barely turns on and off since. The PC Companion software tells recognize it, but when you are installing the software says "it is not possible for this phone is changed." I can not scessar the bootloader does not give time and it shuts down.

Thanks, my error was with the fastboot driver and adb in flashtool. The Windows drivers wasn't been recognized, I've to install the drivers, all of they. After this, I Flashed the Stcok ROM, installed SuperSU and Restored the backup, everything works fine and fluid now. Thanks, anyway, for encouraging me.

I flashed my D2203 back to factory rom yesterday using Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php) on Windows 7 PC.
How did I do it:
1) Install flashtool
2) Install Flashtool-drivers.exe from flashtool subfolder /drivers and select flashmode and fastboot drivers.
3) Run Flashtool and open XperiFirm (letters XF on logo)
4) Select Xperia E3 Flamingo -> proper D22** you have -> Market -> and select latest release below PayPal logo
5) Press "Download" and wait for download and unpacking
6) Switch off phone (if power on/off button does not respond then open back cover and push "OFF" by using pen)
7) Press and hold volume down button and connect phone to PC using original USB cable
8) Using Flashmode flash device

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!

ihad used that trick after whole day research , I can conclude S1tools does not support 2012 upgrade model, I received error as ID HASH IS NOT SUPPORTED,
however my bootloder is unlocked, and I hav unlocked code also, and also phone is rooted ,

Yes this could work for us as we still doesn't have the preloader dump.
AFAIK there is not unbricking way for now.
Somewhere I read that pc companion could work with Q9008. Also worth to try with emma.
I want working on this to finalize the unbricking guide but will not be soon as I need my device for the rom port. When done I will work on this unbricking.
Also it is not a kernel problem. Your flash replaced s1 bootloader with a wrong one.
Good luck a be patient

Not related with TA backup for now. You change your bootloader with a wrong one.
It is almost like if you flash the wrong bios on your mother board. You can't flash it again until someone find an 'electronic' way.
Give a try with pc companion or emma.

You own a d6616? It have unlockable bootloader :s
Send it to repair center. No other choice.
And yes it is confusing, it say bootloader unlock after the fastboot command but it is not true.
@blackhawk_LA made some posts about D6616. Maybe he could help you.
I just post here to announce you the bad new your device is hardly softbricked.

Tanks buddy I am watching your thread, and also let me know when done,

Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks

Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks
