Hi, first of all, i know there are lots of post about bricked phones, trust me, i've seen most of them but none of it helped me and i am kind of fraking out. I got a Sony x10 a few weeks ago and I loved it. I upgraded it to Andoird 2.3.3, rooted it, installed xRecovery, etc. But yesterday I tried to install Android ICS, for that I had to unlock bootloader. Read a lot of post and started, and finally used a method which uses kernel downgrade, a batch program and the kernel upgrade, but guess what, it didn't work, couldn't flash kernel upgrade after all. What freaks me out is that I can't install any ftf either, flashtools keeps showing ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed". Tried using update service, tried with many ftf files and flashtools. Nothing happens. Phone just vibrates a little bit longer than normal when I turn it on and nothing else. It also turn the green led on when connecting to the charger and flash mode seems to work.
I am desperate, I had to do a lot to get a phone like this and now it doesn't even boot with the SE logo. Thanks and I hope someone has the solution.
I forgot to put this:

complete log, saved when trying to flash stock 2.3.3 firmware
That one should be easy to solve When you choose an ftf file to flash in firmware selection window you have to check "No final verification". That worked for me
P.S. also try to post your threads in the right section
brick
u must try another flash tool the older version
U read a lots, but why didnt u unlock using flashtool plugins? It's easier.

unable to understand it. plz explain.:crying:
I assume you waited patiently as PC Companion/SEUS downloaded the update. So the raw update files are in your PC right now!!
All you've to do to make your own ftf file is to follw the procedure here...

And once you have your ftf file ready, flash it with the flash tool & let us know if it works :fingers-crossed:

When I charge my phone now and press the power button once I can see the battery logo but when I try to turn on, the orange led blinks once and then nothing happens. Thanks in advance.

Hello.
It looks like some drivers are missing.
Download and install Sony driver package to your computer and then try and report.

Tried using Sony PC Companion it doesnt detects my phone, same with Update Service.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
EDIT: Please lock the topic as I found the problem and now sucessfully unbricked it, Windows 8 wasnt letting me do anything
Hey.. I’m having trouble trying to recover my Xperia J from what I think it’s a softbrick.
My phone is using CM10. It is unlocked bootloader.
Somedays ago I was in Whatsapp and my phone freeze and started to vibrate and then to reboot.
The phone initially normal, I can use it for less than a minute and starts to reboot again. That’s all it does. Reboot, reboot and reboot…
Because of that I tried to flash it with the stock ftf (11.0.A.7.5). I got Flashtool, I install the drivers (Flashmode, fastboot, ST26). The phone can enter into flashmode and fastboot. When I try to flash (by flashmode or fastboot), it stucks in Reading device information.
I tried to flash only kernel and the same happened. I went to 3 repairservices but they can’t flash it either.
Any idea?
Sorry for my bad English… I’m from a spanishcountry.

I had check that there is no problem with my cable. So I had tried the other version. On 0.9.23.0.
Everything is the same, but in 0.9.23.0 it shows the following:
18:26:16 - INFO - Start Flashing
18:26:16 - INFO - No loader in the bundle. Searching for one
18:26:16 - INFO - No matching loader found
18:26:16 - WARN - No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader
I had also tried 0.9.18.6, and I think it's too old and doesn't work for XZ.
Can anyone help me!! PLEASE!!!
redownload system image and reinstall drivers
Are you using win8.1? In that release, the driver always gives errors I switched to Windows 10, and i've improved this error
