[Q] Phone won't boot up after installing cyanogenmod 10!

I installed cm10 in my Sony Xperia Tipo, done everything correctly, but now I can't boot up my phone, and I can't go to fastboot mode to flash the default firmware. When I try to boot up, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it vibrates, but still nothing Any solutions?
Press volume down while plygging in the usb cable (green led)and restore stock firmware using flashtool.If you arent able to enter flash mode,i guess it's a hard brick

I'm sorry,I didn't get you?
Ok. Get update service from sony. Then run update service. Remember, this will only work on locked bootloader.

The update thing worked like a charm,thanks a lot.
Since you have recovered from your brick, you can make your own .ftf just in case if this ever happen again. Using Update Service will always require internet access but flashtool runs in offline mode. You can make either a clean, untouched, unrooted .ftf, or pre-root that new .ftf. Just search the guides.

use flashtool instead !

I tried DooMLords v17 one but it says Error over flow cleaning or something like that.

For that you have to keep screen alive while the rooting process is going on! And also tick USB Debugging on!
Try again if you fail once or twice!
Best luck
Hit thanks if i helped! It wont take much time

Use UnlockRoot or SuperOneclick, then check with Root Checker app If it works please say thanks )
Doomlord kit must work, if it doesn't then you're doing something wrong. Did you install adb drivers? Did you allow usb debugging and unknown sources?

Done all that, DooMLord kit says 'Error file over flow'
Hmm, strange. Doomlord's tool should work, it has even been confirmed that your device, and firmware is supported! Perhaps http://cydiaimpactor.com or http://srsroot.com ?
You can try those two, it won't hurt your device if they fail.
Then make sure that only your device is connected to usb and try few times, because for me it usually takes two times for it to work.

Try UnlockRootPro it does root your device even when he bootloader is locked.. With ease! Make sure you've USB debugging enabled while you connect your phone to pc! It did work for me fine!! Try and post the result
Thanks me if I helped you :thumbup::thumbup:

Xperia L C2104 on Bootloop

Hi,
I'm having serious trouble with my Xperia L. I was intending to install a Kit Kat ROM, but after I unlocked BootLoader, as expected, it goes stuck in bootloop, however I can't open recovery mode either.
Even when I try to relock the phone using Flashtool, it keeps on bootloop.
I also tried to flash the original ROM using Flashtool but it didn't work. To do so I used the firmware from XperiaFirm.
I followed the instructions below (fourth step) to unlock the bootloader.
http:---//xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/36-sony-xperia-l-c2105----
(Please, remove the dashes from the link, this is my first post...)
Did I brick the phone?
Try With Xperia CompaƱion
