[General Questions and Answers] tadaska:
Hi guys, not 100% sure I'm in the right forum but maybe someone here can help me.

Bought a brand new Xperia Ray (locked to Orange UK) on eBay and tried to unlock it on Wotan Server but I didn't have a good tutorial (didn't know what to do when the Install Drivers window popped up, so I selected Install Automatically instead of pointing it to the driver folder location and of course the drivers were not installed and I aborted). Tried a few more times but wasn't even getting the Install Drivers window anymore, it just said Hardware Wasn't Installed or some such thing... After that my phone was bricked.

I then did S1boot repair with Omnius (successfully but phone was still bricked) and then tried unlocking it again on Wotan Server (this time successfully but the phone still bricked), then tried Flash on Wotan Server and it was going alright until at the end it said "file header write failed!"

Anyway, none of these things revived the phone, it still won't power up. After that I even tried the Flash Tool from this forum, again didn't have full instructions but there seemed to be only two options: loader.sin and preset.ta. I did loader.sin first (successfully but the phone didn't power up) then preset.ta (again successfully but the phone wouldn't power up either).

I was just wondering if anyone have any ideas what could be wrong and if it's still possible to debrick it since it still works with all those Flash tools?

Thanks in advance for any help!

BTW ATM after the battery has been out for a bit and I try turning it on the phone gives a green flash and then a short buzz (vibrates) but the screen stays black, if I try again it gives a long buzz only, and after that if I try again it just gives a short buzz each time.

Also Wotan Server flash log in case it's of any help:
