I see you try to install BB85 and have a header error. I had the same problem and forced the install, and now my antenna software is broken, and nothing is fixing it, so I suggest you get the baseban from another source, or you might get in serious trouble with your ray as I am now.

Ok,but i've the same error if i try to flash a full firmware via flastools
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Strike_Riku:
Hey I have Ubuntu 12.10, I have successfully got Flash tool downloaded and running as root but I get 2 concerning errors.

1. JAVA_HOME not set.... I have set my java home but it still reverts back to the x10-flasher....

2. D-BUS error, failed to start daemon. (In terminal) I have scoured the WWW unable to find any answer.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful, my phone is bricked and I can't unbrick it. Thanks!

Faithfully,

New version Flashtool v0.9.11.0 available

changelog:

- This version is a big split with every previous ones. And not fully featured as previous can be.

I changed the UI framework from Swing to SWT because of a better integration with Mac UI.

Here is what is missing from previous releases :

- No multilingual UI

- No recovery installer

- No kernel installer (for 2010 devices)

- No ROM cleaner.

- Cannot Add/Edit/Remove devices.

- No TA hex editor (in pro mode)

- Version fully compatible with all 2013 devices (Z/ZL/Tablet Z etc etc)

- Unified Bootloader unlock feature with the new BLU icon. No more unlock plugin.

As for flashing, BLU is available even without any connected device, even with

unrecognized devices.

- Updated SuperSU package. Added servicemnu root hack (works with Z/ZL for all FW up to .434)

Known working for Xperia T/V too

- Added TA partition backup/restore. Using this feature, you can backup TA before unlock. Restore TA

will relock the devicee and get DRM back as well as BE2 (full complete relock). You cannot count

on this feature if ever your device is already unlocked. Missuse of this feature can brick the device.

Hi,

I have a bricked xperia ray, and each time I flash stock ray ftf ( GB .42, .62 ICS .562, .431, .587 ) , flashtool says Current device is ST17i.

Current device : ST17i - CB511U4GE1 - 1254-9461_R2I - 1248-9545_4.0.2.A.0.58 - WORLD-a_4.1.B.0.587

May I know what all these info mean?

I flashed stock .42 before, so not sure why .58 appears 1248-9545_4.0.2.A.0.58 .

also, where is flashtool reading the device info from? why is it saying my device is ST17i?

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jorre2220:
have you tried SEUS to get your device back ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nroberto13:
Yes, I tried both seus and pc companion many times.

tried some of the touch softbrick fixes too but none worked.

I also flashed roms for other phones, according to touch softbrick fixes, and now current device is SK17, so changed from ST17. How can I change back to ST18?

thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jorre2220:
Have you tried editing your build.prop (in system) and default.prop to the right device strings ?

I would try that, reboot and use SEUS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jorre2220:
another option might be flashing the Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file:

- plug your microUSB cable date to X-Ray (not to PC, not yet).

- Put Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file to folder firmwares (you can find this folder in FlashTool).

- Run FlashTool

- Click “Flash” button and then choose Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.

- Wait for FlashTool command, press and hold volume[-].

- When command from FlashTool appear, connect the USB cable to PC (remember! in condition volume[-] is press and hold).

- A green light at home button will turn on when FlashToll detect the sony ericsson Xperia Ray. now you can release the volume button.

- Sit back and wait until the process is done

When all process is complete, try to turn on your sony ericsson Xperia Ray.

Let me know if that worked for you :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nroberto13:
I didn't try to edit buid.prop, but in the ultimate hd rom the files seems fine, stating ST18i, on the other hand I flashed stock ray roms ( GB .42, .62 , ICS .561 .431 and .587 ) which I assume contains the right prop files.

I also tried SEUS many times before unlocking BL.

I understood BL needs to be relocked in order to use SEUS again.

I tried this ftf too. I understood this ftf is for unlocked bootloader phones bricked by seus or FOTA, right?

In case you have further advises, let me know please.

Thank you!

Sony has released a new flashing tool called "Emma". You need to register to get it working. So far my registration with fake adress hasnt worked (i don't like to share too much info on the net). You could try that one. Here's a link Emma

grts,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Daniel D.:
You must not register, the register file is in the package, please read the thread here on XDA.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jorre2220:
Could you give me a link as i have not that one. Thanks!

found it!

didn't get it working because Emma thinks my phone is not unlocked. I unlocked it via testpoint method and not using sony's tool.

so i hope you guyz can help me in which file should i pick to create the ftf file
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
remove the following files:

simlock.ta

update.xml

update1.xml

use the correct loader.sin for ur device:

https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/raw/master/devicesConfig/ST18/loader.sin

rename all files from ur list to remove:

_S1xxxxxxxxxx

all files should finally look like:

system.sin, userdata.sin, cache.sin, etc etc etc

then create a FTF bundle which includes loader.sin

and thats it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] syin16:
thx a lot man!!! :), in the end it would be like this rite?

adsp.sin

amss_fs_urushi.sin

amss.sin

apps.sin

cache.sin

fota0.sin

fota1.sin

loader.sin

kernel.sin

system.sin

userdata.sin
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
just correct amss_fs_urushi.sin to amss_fs.sin

that should do it...

now create FTF bundle using FlashTool

wont work for me

Hi, i try to get my Ray ST18i back to stock rom with the flash tool but it wont work and i really dont know what i do wrong :-(

It turns out wrong when i try to flash it at the point flashtool says:

preparing files for flashing.

Next there is a screen wich say, unplug your phone, turn it of and push the back button while putting the usb in again...

It stays on this screen evenwhile i did all above.....

the flashtoolscreen says :

Preparing files for flashing

14/012/2012 00:12:32 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.

14/012/2012 00:12:40 - INFO - Device disconnected

14/013/2012 00:13:18 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

and stucks there (and the other screen keeps showing the unplug etc).

Now as seen as above, flashtool says usb debugging is of, but it isnt!! and its not in MTP mode also.....

What did i do wrong?

I hope someone can help

I can't download it, my antivirus close download conection, I did shut down my antivirus and still close the conection. maybe because it is a .exe file, where do I get it on .rar file?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ImmortAlex:
My antivirus (Kaspersky IS) allows me to download, but blocks installer execution, so I need to stop it temporary.

I have another problem. When I try to install drivers from FlashTool package I get error message from DPInst64.exe after unpacking all files, something like "Can't execute DPInst.exe on this version of operating system". Sorry for non-exact message text, I'm on russian locale.

I unpack this exe file from installer and try to run it as-is (just for test), and get the same message.

My Windows version is Seven SP1 Prof x64.

Any solutions or hints?

I'm trying to write simple FAQ for average user on 4pda.ru about how to install custom firmwares. FlashTool is very good program for this task. But as you may understand, simple way to install driver is a MUST.

Maybe downgrade to .42 using flashtool then upgrading back to .62 but excluding the kernel selection on the right hand side of flashtool so you still have the old kernel. Then root using zergrush method.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
You must have libusb-1.0 installed and :

- udev rules to access device in R/W

Or

- Run flashtool as root

The udev rules I posted on flashtool homepages are from my ubuntu installation (11.10)

Search on ubuntu forum about udev rules if you don't know how to set it :-)

getting flashtool working in ubuntu

At first I couldn't get flashtool working under ubuntu (in my case 11.10).

Having looked around the net I came across http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/6513-ubuntu-fastboot.html.

Here's what I did :

First, remove any rules you already set up for your Android Device (If any), they'll be very obvious if you look in /etc/udev/rules.d/

now create a new file using the command

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules

Now, paste all of the rules in below below:

#Acer

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"

#Dell

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"

#Foxconn

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0489", MODE="0666"

#Garmin-Asus

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="091E", MODE="0666"

#Google

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

#HTC

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

#Huawei

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"

#Kyocera

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0482", MODE="0666"

#LG

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"

#Motorola

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"

#Nvidia

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0955", MODE="0666"

#Pantech

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="10A9", MODE="0666"

#Samsung

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

#Sharp

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04dd", MODE="0666"

#Sony Ericsson

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"

#ZTE

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"

Save and close this file.

Change the file permissions:

sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules

Now, unplug all Android Devices...

Restart the uDev service:

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

now for me it worked ... I hope I helped someone out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Umm I have android rules that I tried to set up but I continued with this method and my ubuntu doesn't recognise it still. I don't know how to delete previous android.rules as it's read only.

Any ideas?

Nothing to do with me running ics?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duxxyuk:
I would suggest that you start again....deleting the ubuntu udev rules is simply a question of removing the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules and restarting the udev service... You definitely need to have the right rights (sudo must work)...

The first time you setup the rules did you add to another file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ caus if you did you'll need to remove what you added.

rite now im using se stock .62 rom, since it this rom, root is lost, so in order to get the root WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader, i figure i have to donwgrade rite? Here's my question

1. downgrade all of my rom, basically i have to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf, root then flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62.ftf containing the kernel.sin from .42 rom is it?

or

2. just use the kernel.sin from .42 rom, just create an ftf bundle with that kernel.sin only

Normally using an unlocked bootloader one would simply use 7zip to open the ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(Central-Europe).ftf file, pull out the kernel.sin then flash that using fastboot mode (hold down voldup then whilst keeping voldup pressed plug in usb - it goes blue yay!).

In your case (locked bootloader) you can flash only in "flashmode" (hold down voldown then whilst keeping voldown pressed plug in usb - it goes green yay!) I suggest that you first flash a complete .42 ftf then go about flashing the .62 ftf. BEFORE FLASHING tick the "Exclude Kernel" checkbox. IMHO that should do it.

:eek: my mistake guyz, i didnt notice the box for exclude system, baseband and kernel box, what if i just flash the .42 ftf with "Exclude system and baseband"? would that work?

unfortunately, it didnt work, when i downgrade the kernel only, then try to root with doomlord easy rooting from v1 till v4, still no root, gonna try to downgrade the whole rom this time
