If the phone ring or a txt or sometimes it just happens on its own! I get this loud noise coming from the speaker its like a real loud hiss noise.
Lads I restored my phone wiped it and its still there, Please can anyone help me
Thanks for reading.

You replaced some files in /system directory. Download ftf firmware for your system and flash it using flashtool.
Get world ftf from here

I tried that but cant get it to work. It has a pic of a old xperia phone showing the button to hold.. What is the method will i use for my tipo?
Thanks.

Install latest flashtool with fastboot and flash drivers. Switch phone off and plug USB holding down button. Place ftf file in folder (don't know which one, need to check on PC). And flash.
Or just go here, flash cwm, and install custom rom.

The Beats **** doesn't work on any tipo, I also lost sound by doing this.Also use MSC mode instead of MTP(settings>xperia>connectivity) cause it will boot the phone on MTP.Flash it using the tool above and a firmware file(use this for world FS, all langs)

The folder is C:\Flashtool\firmwares
And yeah, hold down the vol down button when connecting the cable.

i think you can install tipo drivers by going into settings ->development and check 'debugging mode'. After, connect to pc via usb and drivers should start installing

Actually drivers come in the flashtool package. After installing open c/flashtool/drivers (I'd you installed here). Then install the last 2 options (flashnode and fastboot)

which option i have to select during flash '' flash mode or fastbootmode''

If you're flashing firmware, always 'flashmode'.
The name is pretty self-explanatory. Flashing > Flashmode.

is there any way to revive from hardbrick

Only a Sony engineer or someone who knows a real lot about electronics in such a mobile can fix hard brick. Hard brick means that hardware is probably broken.
But does your phone show any sights of life? Like does the led work when you plug in the charger. Then your phone is probably not hard bricked.

Maybe try to "force" to install driver trough the Device Manager in Windows. I have Win 7 64-bit and it just would't autoinstall my device in fastboot mode. I downloaded the driver, found my device in Device Manager and right clicked and choosed Update Driver. Then I choosed the folder where I had saved the downloaded driver

I have a Sony Xperia Tipo dual (ST21i2) Android smartphone which I tried to instal CyanogenMod 10 on. I managed to unlock the device in fastboot mode (according to instruction on Sony webside) and tried to flash it, but I think that I didn't place all the right files in the right folders for flashing because according to the instruction the device should reboot after flashing, but it didn't. I waited for 15-20 minutes and nothing happened so I disconnected the device from my PC. Now the when try to turn on the device the led flashes red 3 timed, then a short pause and then again 3 red flashes and so on it loops forever. So it seems that it is not completely dead yet. When I connect the device to my computer it is not recognized. In fact, Windows does not see it at all so I can not use Sony Flash Tool. Can anyone help my how to finish te installation of CM10 on my device? I have understood that you can force Xperia Tipo to install system form SDcard. If it is true how do I do that? Which files should be put on the card and how to force boot from the SDcard?

[SOLVED] Serious help please :( I think I bricked my Xperia Tipo

Hi I don't know what to do anymore :S I'm pretty scared........
I can enter the CWM recovery, but when I turn it on 'normally' a pink light appears on top right corner (and the 3 buttons under glass are colored white). After a little they turn off. Then the green light stays on when I have cable connected. When I pull it out, it goes off.
1. My CWM is v6.0.2.8
2. Whenever I try to mount USB storage, my PC won't react anymore
3. I tried several different roms, the USB storage problem started when I tried Paradox V1 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209026)
* In this mod's installation instructions it said "NOTE-- If CWM asks to Disable Recovery flash at the time U click on reboot than Scroll down and press Go back. Remember it or you will get com.android.media stopped working."
4. I have accidentally clicked on "Disable Recovery flash" :S am I really screwed?
5. I only have 1 stock rom on the phone right now "Gimlo Stock Firmware v0.2 for Tipo" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123835)
Can I do anything to save this phone? Please somebody help me out, I am constantly checking this thread and I hope someone finds time to reply :S
Thanks

power off your phone, tap vol + and plug in usb...if you see a blue led then you are in fastboot...when you tap vol - and plug in usb if you see a green led then you are in flashmode....
fastboot is for flashing kernels and flashmode for flashing stock.ftf etc...

Thank you so much for being very assisting. If I want to install that generic kernel do I have to tick "exclude kernel" inside Flashtool? Or not and just click "ok"?
I made a screenshot of what I am talking about
http://i.imgur.com/1elSjqf.jpg

Inside flash tool I get errors, I tried to do this both with/without 'exclude kernel' I was reading from another tutorial ._. but it isn't working?

I installed the "world" rom instead of generic. Just when I did it as you normally would with Flash Tool, the flashing instantly begun and no errors were given. It seems my root and cwm are gone too, but that's fine . I have only rooted my own st27i in past, and it was my only experience I just know the very basics (like install cwm, bootloader, root). But I failed at BACKING UP inside CWM (I didn't do it..) for this phone a lesson learned. The worst part was that this Tipo was not my own phone, but friend's. And she was curious about the root so I told her that I'll try, I didn't claim I'm some expert and I warned her about bricking lol .
Was this phone actually bricked? I still don't know the answer, but it was scary. Either way, it was a painful and good experience cause if I would ever try another rom on my own phone I would always do backup!
Thanks a Bunch Xrhstospro, these forums need more helpful people like you. I don't really know what would I have done without your help!!!!
