Well, then you may try to download one of the old firmwares on the forum and flash it to your phone with flashtool.

Ok. 1st use update service to fix the phone back to usable state. Then root the phone. Do these two steps first and after that, make your own clean .ftf just to be safe.

cannot update!usb not complete install.....use sony companion cannot! no found my phone...

Ok. Use universal adb driver to install the drivers. Also install pdanet drivers to make it work with update service. Pc companion will not work now.
Pull the battery out. Run update service and follow on-screen instructions.

but battery pull out the phone no detect!

Yes I know. Have you run the update service? Didnt the pc asked you to turn the phone off? You say you only saw the xperia logo, so I told you to pull that battery out, since the phone not responding when you press that power button.

My friend say phone market can help u do this problem!but need money......malaysia Ringgit 30!T_T
me don't warranty bsc so long need 1 mouth ! my friend say!
but say thank to you hlp me!me take me phone go repair.....

Rm30? Thats cheap. My place charges rm50 to fix this problem, so I fix it myself. 3 times already, just because I flashed something incorrectly. Its your choice if you decide to waste money and wait for about a week just to find out that those tauke use the same method as in here, use update service.
Paradox ST21i

to update/repaid your phone is toooo much easy to do it...why to spend money? you can do the same as the phone market you tell but without spend any euro/dollar/yen/krown etc....do you agree?

And, its the OFFICIAL recommended way by Sony before you try going to Sony Service.

Of course your rm30 is cheap than my rm50. But if you do it yourself, it is way CHEAPER. Im a malaysian guy too, we all love cheap stuff.

ya!!!can teach me how to install lock screen xperia z at tipo

Easy. 1st get root. 2. Get cwm 3. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147502 4. Follow the instructions CAREFULLY!!! or you brick the phone again.
Remember, you should ask WHY its not working but not HOW TO install this or that. Please read the guides on the first post carefully ok?

<FLASH THROUGH CMW RECOVERY>this wat means?

Means put the mod .zip files to root of microsd. Then boot to cwm. Turn off the phone. Then turn on. When you see sony logo, press volume down multiple times until you see cwm. Remember you must already have root and cwm before doing this.

[Q] (Q) Tipo is dead?

Hey, it's my first post so hi
I write this because my little Tipo probably goes to Phone Heaven. Flashmode and fastboot mode didn't work. I have LED but flashtool didn't detect those modes. When i try power on Tipo, i have Sony logo and... that's it. Should i do anything with him? I know, i've hard bricked the phone (maybe super hard bricked) and it's my fault, but is there any way to unbrick him?

You can still see Sony logo? Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not, pc companion - repair should work. Sometimes its just cables issues.

Yup, only Sony logo. Bootloader is unlocked. Repair through PC Companion didn't work. Generaly - my PC doesn't detect phone.

Install proper sony drivers. Or universal adb drivers.

I think it can still live. Try reinstall drivers or use another usb port or another cable.

Hmm so I guess it is related with kernel.
Well, why exactly did you do that bro.
And about Sony drivers. You can install them by downloading and installing PCC.and also('re) install the flashtool drivers.might help you bro.have you tried all different versions of flashtool and tried flashing?? Sometimes changing versions might help.

Xperia j problem

Hello
I really dont know if this is the right place or there is allready theme like this but i really need your help.
I root my device and it work for few days everything was OK and then i install CWM, after that i turn of my device and now when i try to power it up i just get SONY screen and it shut itself down... does anyone know is it possible to fix it?
Thanks in advance....

As the SXJ Jelly bean version doesnt support permenant CWM so you hav to flash back ur stock KERNEL
Just flash ur kernel in fastboot using flashtool and it will be fine as before! Best luck
If you dont hav the kernel file ask google
Google is ur best friend!
Hit thanks if i helped! Dont say it just click the button !

Did you tried to factory reset your phone.? If you can't, try Sony update service (SUS). it will make you phone to stock but you will lose your data.!!

Nope..! SUS is used for restoring back to stock even when your phone has custom ROM.!! So you can use SUS to factory reset.! Go ahead and try.!
