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.

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 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.

Looks like I killed my Z5. The model is 6683 (Z5 dual), and I flashed with E6533 (Z3+ dual).
The phone is completely dead, cannot turn on, not vibrating on power button etc.
When I connect to my laptop, it says "unable to recognize USB device", in detail VID_0000&PID_0000.
But if I disconnect the battery, it recognized as "SOMC Flash device", VID_0FCE&PID_DDDE
Is it possible to resurrect it?
I hope if I can flash with correct bootloader in this state, it will enought to boot up and able to flash with the right firmware.

Are you able to connect it in flashmode and fastboot ?
With battery, no.
Without battery, my laptop recognize as "SOMC Flash device", but no tool can connect to it (like FlashTool).
(I think then different PID is the reason)

it seems to me that you are an advanced person in playing with your mobile, this kind of issues is beyond of my knowledge but I was replying to your thread hopefully someone here can help, I'm fearing that you have messed up with your mobile
Well, you could try to flash it from Ubuntu (NOT inside Windows 10 !) via FlashTool,
under windows there are limitations with different device IDs that separate drivers would be needed (and if only "wrong" ID is detected under Linux it doesn't really matter, since it's detected anyway),
perhaps under Linux operating systems you have more luck
Thank you for idea, but not working.
Finally I found an old SETool3 box , and successfully flashed with it without battery
Somehow it can fixed it.

wrong flash means wrong kernel!
you might be stuck on black screen when you frist switchon device! the device is running! but since its stuck on bootloops no interface is open!
press power and volume up button for 15+ seconds and let it JERK 3 times , this if force shutdown. the device should get connected now in flashmode
Hello.
I've been having some problems attempting to flash Pie on my XZ Premium, which was previously on Oreo with an unlocked bootloader.
I made the (honest and silly) mistake of attempting to flash the packages with Flashtool, but this problem persisted before that.
Now the device just says it has failed verification and does not boot.
I would attempt to re-flash using newflasher, but when I hold volume down and attempt to boot into flashmode, the light will go green for one second, and then the device will power off, so I cannot flash any software.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Okay, I'm officially stupid, the issue was fixed by plugging the phone into a different USB port on my PC. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem that I did!
Hello everyone! Recently, My phone is Xperia XA with a model F3115 running Nougat, I unlocked the bootloader and tried to follow this guide so that I could obtain root. Here's the link:
Click here to check the guide!
Suddenly, after I followed the step 6 which is to flash a boot_delivery.xml from a Marshmallow Firmware, It was successful according to flashtool, it said remove the usb but when I tried to connect the usb again, for fastboot mode, my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore and I can't turn my phone into fastboot or flashboot mode, I can't turn on my device. I've searched guides on how to fix. I found a guide where you need to disassemble your phone and do like Box or something and I also found a guide by using this SP Flash Tool (I can't do it as my phone is unrecognizable by the pc thus, showing Unknown Device when connected). I'm kinda scared to open my phone and wished if I can just fix without doing hardware changes. Anyone knows how to fix? Like should I do the assembly or there are other ways? I'm looking forward for your answers everybody. Thanks!
this isnt an answer
The same thing happened to my Xperia XA1 Ultra like 2 weeks ago and I am so screwed lol. I'm not allowed to buy a new phone so now I have to use my J3 2016. I was trying to flash a rom using flashtool but it came up with an error....blah blah blah...Long story short is my phone shows the charging LED when plugged in but doesn't boot into the ROM or fastboot and the other mode...HELP ME!!!!!:crying::crying:
Actually quite bummed about the whole thing cause my mum bought it as a birthday present and had to work really hard for it and now shes upset
Well... yours phone is dead. Change motherboard or buy new one.
