[FIRMWARE][Ray][ST18a][URUSHI][REQUEST]

[wwwong]

Hi everyone,

I have searched XDA-developers and Google and was unable to find any ROMs, generic or not, relating to the ST18a model of the Xperia Ray.

Does anyone have access to this ROM? Or is there a way for me to extract it from my device?

It's be very useful for rooting and whatnot.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. But that post leads to the ST18i not the ST18a

I can make flashable ftf file for you but you can do it yourself

Hey there,

Can you point me to a good tutorial for making your own ROMs from your own device?

Problem solved

Hi, I'm from Mexico, and I was having the same issue you have.
Couldn't get a St18a rom anywhere.
I found this web site:
www(dot)wotanserver(dot)com/en/page/tutorial-debranding-flash-sony-ericsson
They say you have to download the driver package and then a flasher software.
I was a bit unconfident about it.
But since i already had flash tool and had mounted a St18i rom.
The worse could happen, was to have the need to reflash it again.
So, i tried and it worked, just as it said.

You just install the programs, run them, start your phone in flash mode, it detects it and install the driver. Then you have a list of compatible roms, select Generic Us (st18a) and that's it, let it work. It will flash it and tell when its over.
Next, you turn it on, and you have a St18a debranded phone :-D

They ussually charge for this services, by now, you just have to registere and can make 1 flash, totally charge free.

Hope I help you, just as much as all XDA developers have help me trought all my devices.
Best of lucks!

Is anyone with the ST18a nice enough to upload the official ROM? Would it be safe to flash an ST18i ROM on an ST18a?

 

[Someguyfromhell]

ST18a and ST18i are based on the same firmware, the only difference is 3G working band.

I am not sure, but the ROMs should work on both. As I said, I am not sure, if someone would confirm this, would be nice.

Just the baseband files from original ST18a ROM would be needed.

 

[MarrkDaviid]

I would rather not risk it, might try and find someone that has an ST18a running the stock ROM. Mine should be running the stock ROM, though I wanted to try flashing it with a different one, as it has a battery indicator problem, and I am not sure whether the issue is software or hardware related yet.

Need ST18A 4.0.2.A.0.42 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Stock Firmware also...

Xperia Ray ST18A Canadian (TELUS) came with ICS with too many Problems. Downgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 CE (Central Europe) which rebrands phone as ST18i which results in not finding Rogers/Fido 3G. Only 2G. Looked everywhere for the North American 0.42 Version of Gingerbread because it can be Rooted without unlocking Bootloader. I have not found this FTF File ANYWHERE I have searched. I have been looking for over a week. If I find this I will give it to anyone who needs. If someone has it please come here. Thanks!
