This Android has been upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.7 / 2.3.X to Official Upgrade Update to Ice Cream SandWich 4.0.4 it has been upgraded by turning the phone off and then holding down button while connect to computer usb with the Xperia flash tool drivers installed.After the process of upgrade working the phone seems running correctly no brick the same boot animation like XPeria U except the boot mobile provider.After we check what is new on Android 4.0 the Ice Cream Sandwich can be rooted with cydia impactor and then unlock busybox and bootloader.Phone was rooted without flash kernel multiple time until brick or malfunction.The root was perfomed by a safe way for supersu.

After a few days the phone was connected to Windows but a program "Xperia Tweaker / CWM Install" attempt to install recovery mode on the xperia android devices that does not have recovery mode and his buttons combination to boot.After the tweaker was running all commands it told the user to copy and paste the adb commands via command prompt then reboot.The volume button does not have effect on XPeria ray but instead it boot into safe mode after few press and hold on volume down.After an another try the phone was in blue LED light which means fastboot mode not flashmode with green light, the phone has halted an operation to install recovery twrp if the combination of button didnt work.After an another try the phone was Bright screen with the sony logo then a button pressed lead to CWM Recovery mode based on Xperia Ray.Another reboot lead to recovery mode.The phone was turned off and restarted in normal mode.After an operation on terminal emulator adb reboot recovery the phone was reboot into recovery mode and another reboot until the combination to boot into recovery mode in Xperia Ray is to press home button multiple times until clockworkmod recovery mode apperar "This function work only when cwm installer install this recovery on a rooted phone pc is required" The android have an OS upgrade and a recovery mode with a safe method without to brick.The partitions didnt bricked and still work aswell.
