hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome
Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome
ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!
Just flash a custom kernel first then boot into CWM and then flash a SuperSU.zip from the recovery.. It will directly root your phone..
Here is the link for the Zip file..http://download.chainfire.eu/204

Try installing drivers from Flashtool\Drivers there you would find a file Flashtool-drivers.exe open it click next and then go till the bottom of the list and check fastboot and flashmode drivers and install that
Hope it works Cheers :good:

So, you flashed a ROM via cwm.
A few lines later you mention that you can't install cwm... is there something I miss????
Whatever;
Can you enter Fastboot/Flash mode manually/via PC and flash a new ROM from there using Flash Tool?
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Have you tried following these steps?
That's pretty much everything I can think of.
I hope it's just a software brick... :fingers-crossed:

No I said I can't install a rom via recovery it gets unknown error ....
But Now I have another question how to enter mt5689 in Fastboot/Flash Mode manually via pc .....with flash tool......
plz can anyone tell how to enable usb debugging mode when phone is bricked.....
if you want to install a stock rom via odin, you dont need usb debugging to be on, just boot into odin/download mode (google to see how) and flash a stock rom, then do whatever you need.

Stable rom as in stock rom? or a stable custom rom?
in any case. if you have cwm or twrp you should be able to access the file on your computer, or even transfer it to an sd if the phone has it..
if its a custom rom flashable zip though you you might as well just flash it.
if its a stock rom an you cant aces recovery then you have to redownload it to your pc....

Now you can't unbrick your phone because you overwritten the preloader of your phone. Remember: when flashing with SP flash tool you mustn't flash the preloader. The preloader is the file that makes possible the flashing with SP and now that you have overwritten it or flashed the wrong one, you probably won't be able to recover it. Take it to service center.

hey , i was rooting my xperia l c2104 and i stuck at bootloop problem and i also tried to flash rom but flashtool is saying "PLEASE TURN ON USB DEBUGGING" but my mobile is not even opening so how can i turn on usb debugging is there any way to flash custom rom again without using usb debugging.
Hi well without knowing what rom you flashed I can only give so much advice. I would first boot to recovery and restore your backup ( if you made one).
You should be flashing Roms with recovery anyway. You may wanna try that first
