Well i hope you can help me

What was the reason CyanogenMod failed to install? perhaps you tried to flash a bad download.
Power off the device, hold vol-up and insert the USB cable. The top LED should turn blue. If it does, you should be able to recover.
Redownload CWM and CM10, and put the CM10 zip on an SDcard. If the download is good and you follow the instructions you should be fine.

Ummm that thing with the blue led.... When i hold the vol up button and plug the cable sony logo goes on... Only thing i can do is go in flashmode and try to flash, which actually doesn't work ;(
Even if i can get to recovery i don't think i have and image to recover i will be glad if you have any idea what to do. Thanks in advance

I don't know about your phone but for tipo we needed a specific loader.sin file which was required along with the ftf file to flash with flashtool.
Also if you can get into recovery, download cm10 once again and try to flash that.
Hit Thanks if I helped you!

By following this guide i managed to root and install CWM. That file "loader.sin" i already have it and its in place, otherwise I couldn't flash CWM. Any other ideas ?

Let me guess. You downloaded cm10 by fxp and flashed with cwm? That's not how this is done. Fxp has its own recovery and requires its own fxp kernel. The cwm you installed from that link only highjacks the offline charging method to boot into cwm. This version of cwm is in system directory itself.
Have you unlocked bootloader? If so then enter fastboot and fastboot boot.img found in the cm10 zip file. You will automatically have cwm + fxp kernel. Then go into cwm and flash .zip
Do every thing in this thread

Heya, I don't know exactly what happened, but i tryed to enter flash mode with mashing the vol down button instead of holding it. After that my computer installed some kind of drivers via USB and after that i flashed my phone clean
10x for the help problem solved.

Hooray for mashing!

Wow...good mashing

just flash the phone with flashtool

I also experienced this before. You need to make sure your usb cable is connected directly to your usb port. Dont connect it through cooling fan. Some cooling fan have usb port too. And go to control panel, Device Manager. Go to Universal Serial Buss Contoller, and open it all. On the Power Management tab, dont check "Allow the computer to turn off this device ....". And make sure you have installing flashmode and fastboot mode drivers, Those can be found on the Drivers folder. CMIIW

is your bootlosder unlocked?

I think lol but when i went check it says
Bootloader Unlock:Yes

you dont need unlocked bl to flash ftf stock roms..... I think there is problem in loader.sin
Maybe this firmware works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049602

1. did u enable usb debugging?
2. do you have all drivers installed?
3. Bootloader Unlock: Yes ,doesn't mean that you have unlocked bootloader,it means that you can unlock bootloader if u can! And yes you don't need unlocked bootloader for flashing STOCK ftf files

Header error means your loader.sin is corrupted like drummer already said. Most FTF files have incorrect loader.sin files. You need to manually replace the file as soon as the FTF has been unpacked for flashing. So:
1. Click this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1504171&d=1353649357
2. Go to flash tool, click flash button, select the firmware to flash, with your phone still disconnected.
3. As soon as flashtool shows the 'connect phone screen' go to firmware folder inside flashtool folder, inside is a new folder with the unpacked sin files.
4. Replace loader.sin with the downloaded one.
5. Connect ur phone in flashmode.

Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i can't install firmware

Hi
I tried install XPERIENCE™ Tipo Beta 2 ROM but I forgot one step (format system). After installation i rebooted phone but stuck at black screen of course. So I pulled out battery and go to CWM again and I did everything, format data, system, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats and tried install ROM again. But CWM can't read from internal memory so i decided to reboot phone and go to CWM again but now I can't go to CWM and phone stuck at SONY logo. So I tried flash firmware by flashtool but of course there were error.
Installation process starts normal but after few steps phone disconected itself and tried to boot.

Agree with you. A bit too less info, man .
So:
-Is your devices bootloader unlocked?
-Have you tried to use another computer/another USB-cable as kreatonn said?
-Have you used a proper stock .ftf ?
-Have you tried to charge your phones battery, and flash again?
Success!

If U have logo, then U able to enter Recovery? If yes, make full wipe (wipe data/actory reset, wipe chace, wipe dalvik chace).
If U cannot enter to Recovery, try to flash stock .ftf again, but when U selecting .ftf, make sure to check "No final verification" and "Reset customization" under Misc (lower right section). Steps here.

Like I said, I followed this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333078) and they ask to flash the recovery.tft file at step6.
And the flash does not complete. It stays so and my phone freezes until I disconnect it that aborts the flash but I waited 30 minutes before I disconnect it.
And my phone is not broken after this fail. I reboot it and it simply starts again without problem...

And what can I do with the update service? I already launch it but my phone already has the last update.

so are you telling me, your phone boot & working normally ? then you don't need re-flash 2nd ftf file ( "JB31.ftf" ) or SUS.
then try again with tutorial. ( flash tool not properly working with windows 8 )

I'm on windows 7.
And yes, my phone works totally fine. BUT I do want to boot into CWM ^^ and that doesn't work. I'm doing again and again this tutorial : install.bat works great but then I need to flash this recovery.tft because the CWM is not definitive as I understood. So I turn off my phone and connect it with vol- pressed, flash begins then stops... Weird.
I can unlock my bootloader but I would not want to. If nothings works, I'll do it...

Actually I identify the problem: flashtool do not recognize the recovery.ftf ! I tried to flashed the kernel ICS...
How can I solve this problem? It seems that a lot of people having this issue to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49167339&postcount=76 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49746942&postcount=81

And here the solution : I just had to remove the external sd card before flashing....

To any1 else having this problem, I would suggest unlocking bl cuz it opens up so much.
