Hi,

I had my flashtool setup for my x10 but I have just rooted my friends ray.
It rooted fine but I could not install recovery or go any further than that...any advice please.


EDIT----

Now I have stopped being a noob and read further down the dev thread I have seen doom's thread on how to...i have passed this info onto my friend...

My Ray get's disconnected after one minute or so and no files could be flashed during the time it is connected, flashtool stays on "start flashing" (or something similar) until "flashing aborted" and the phone disconnects.
No problems with older versions.

So I have connected my phone in MSC mode to the computer, and I open up Flashtool, but it only tells me "30/012/2011 21:12:53 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off"

Is there a special way/mode I'm supposed to connect my Xperia Ray?

From the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343

If your phone is not recognized by Flashtool that means you don’t have the required drivers installed.

Open folder /Flashtool/drivers and install ggsetup-2.2.0.11


If after the above Flashtool still doesn’t recognize your phone, do the following:

From Flashtool/drivers folder extract the zip file XXX_ADB_driver which corresponds to your phone model
Open “Device manager” on the computer and find the device which is with an exclamation mark on it (do this with connected to the computer phone)
Right click on the device and choose Uptade driver
Choose to find the driver manually and browse to the folder where you’ve extracted the zip file.
That should install the required drivers on your computer.

Did it with mine today, worked fine.

Root Xperia Ray ST18a

Hello,

I have an Xperia Ray ST18a , and tried to root it with this tool, but the application doesn't recognize the phone. I already made sure the phone is in the correct mode (MSC) and installed the phone model drivers that are in /Flashtool/Drivers/ ... but still says "Device connected with USB debugging off" .

Could be that this tool is only compatible with ST18i and not with ST18a?

Please help. Thank you!

 

[Androxyde]

What version are you using ?

 

[GiBraiNe]

tried with both

Flashtool 0.6.4.0 - Windows and
Flashtool 0.6.5.0 - Windows

In different computers, ...same results.

But this is weird as I already installed all drivers in \Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers

Thanks so much for the help!.

Ok found the problem. Was missing this first step:

enable "USB DEBUGGING" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development
enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" from Menu -> Settings -> Applications
set Connectivity mode to MSC from Menu -> Sony Ericsson -> Connectivity -> USB Connection Mode

Added the other two steps so can be helpful for anyone else having issues, make sure all of above is set prior to trying this tool to root the phone.


Thanks so much for the help!
