i need your help guys .. i have xperia ray (st18a - saw on the net that it's the same as st18i) with GB 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62 installed on it. i saw on the picture of the sdk program that there's no 2.3.4 option to mark so because it's a bootloader i prefer to ask you guys before i'll end up with pieace of plastic if i'll do something wrong ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
What do you mean with "no 2.3.4 option"? You mean the drivers? Because there should be ;)

Otherwise use the automatic tool, then you should have no problems :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dev0lver:
any help with this ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] omigasun:
Just try install a custom kernel, I don't know but I think if you still got your bootloader lock, it will failed and nothing happen with your device (maybe), I don't know that for sure, because I never try to install a custom kernel in Locked bootloader because I know it won't work. Just try install the right custom kernel for your room n your device, it won't f*ck you up :D. Do it on your own risk, no one here are responsible about what's gonna happen to your device,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
How could you flash radeon kernel on locked bootloader? If you've successfully flashed the custom kernel it's unlocked ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dev0lver:
take a look on page 25, first post, there are pictures of tools i tried to unlock bootloader

i have managed to install custom kernel because that kernel is for locked bootloader, and also i have installed rom for locked bootloader, because i was unable to unlock it

is the problem maybe confusion with the phone when i connect it to pc ?? (see pic)

because i was unable to root the phone with kernel for sk17i

i used arc kernel, and then after rooting flashed back kernel for sk17i to have right kernel on the phone and to have root

and also, i tried trackID from marketplace, and it works, so if the bootloader is unlocked, that app is not working, so i guess my bootloader is still locked

hey guys i guess SE boot loader not detect my lww as mentioned i tried to connect my phone to pc it shows green light but i heard everywhere that it should show blue light ....please help me .......
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giri.sahu94:
My phone is live with walkman with Android 4.0.4. in Android SDK Manager, I can only install Android 4.0.3 or Android 4.1. Android 4.0.4 is not listed, so I can't choose it as target as mentioned Manually unlocking bootloader. In my understanding, I need to install Android 4.0.4 in the SDK Manager, otherwise I it won't find lww Android device. Is there a workaround? Why is Android 4.0.4 not in the Android SDK Manager?

what should i do?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Have you already tried installing all drivers for all devices/modes from flashtool installation folder -> drivers? And the you use the automatic toolkit instead of the manual method? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giri.sahu94:
Yes i have done installation of all the drivers from flashtool successfully...and also tried automatic SE unlock bootloader but as i said nothing happen ...while connecting device to pc it shows green light only ...

And for second try i did on manually method but while installing android version of my device 4.0.4 does not show in sdk manager except 4.0.4 sdk manager has all the android version .....now what to do..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Which key do you press when you connect your device? :)

Try installing 4.0.3 in the sdk because it has the same API like 4.0.4 ;)

VOLUME DOWN KEY ....and it shows green light when connect but i guess it should show blue light as mentioned in tutorial of SE unlock bootloader ....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You should be holding volume up, like stated in OP ;)

Volume down is for flashmode (green led), volume up for fastboot mode (blue led) :)

oh thank you so much so then can i use SE unlock bootloader... now i got unlock code from sony's website ...

after unlocking bootloader can i flash my lww with LuPuS_urushi_Stock-gB+iCsv8-full (kernel ) for installing Walkman Xperia™ v2.5 ROM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
No, not urushi, you need the one for your device, and watch out you choose the right rom for your device ;)

Check out my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel for further help and questions :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giri.sahu94:
thanks :) but can you suggest me good kernel for Walkman Xperia™ v2.5 ROM...?

because in your tutorial i unable to find out kernel ....:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
I have to admit that I don't know the rom, but you have to flash a kernel for gingerbread for gb roms, a kernel for ice cream sandwich for ics roms, and a kernel for jelly bean for jb roms. Asking for the best kernel is not allowed, try some and use the one that fits best for you and your usage ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giri.sahu94:
actually i have WT19_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel that is in .ftf (extension) and for fastboot flash mode i'll need boot .img extension so should i make ftf into .img format via nero image burner ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
No, you can flash the kernel using flashtool in flashmode. Click on the flash -> flashmode -> select the kernel -> hit okay -> turn off your phone, hold volume down and connect the device -> it will flash the kernel.ftf and then you're done ;)

To flash a custom kernel, use fastboot tools or flashtool. In flashtool click the flash -> fastboot mode -> connect phone in fastboot mode (volume up) -> select kernel to flash -> select the boot.img -> wait a few seconds -> boot in cwm and install the rom :)

It's really easy, but you may get more information if you read my guide :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giri.sahu94:

help please

I have been trying for 2 days now to unlock the bootloader on my xperia ray st18i, without success.

i am running windows 7 x64

the phone is 100% sim unlocked

in service info i have Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

I bought the phone with official 4.0.2.A.0.42, updated to 62 via ota

I tried the official sony way but it says: FAILED (remote: Phone is already unlocked!)

Tried Flashtool 0.9.11 - said bootloder cannot be officially unlocked, bootloader status: rooted

I read somewhere that flashtool 0.8.6 would be a better solution, tried that but got the same response as in the official sony - Phone is already unlocked!

During all of these attempts i tried also starting clean, flashed ftf with flashtool of .42, .62, flashed even ics with pc companion at some point and started over, so my bootloder is 100% locked (tried even emma from sony which said that my bootloder was locked and confirmed sim unlock)

i also tried all the tools that i could find, all of them said the same thing as sony or flashtool.

i would like to install the .84 gb from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2303630 , repack4pda .84 with gapps which as far as i understood requires the .64 kernell.

i managed to root the phone while on .42 and .62 with eroot , installed cwm via xparts, but after flashing rom in cwm, im stuck at sony ericsson logo screen

i have read all the post with similar problems, tried solutions, but still cant get it to work. i have unlocked bootloaders/rooted other xperias and htc in the past, so im not a complete noob

please help, im going crazy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
