You can try Custom ROM. Currently i am using AVD Rom, one of the best Stock based custom ROM for Xperia J, it works with both Locked & Unlocked Bootloader. Also you can try CM10.
Every ROM is different made in accordance with the user experiences and requirements.

Cm=cyanogenmod
And...in my opinion stock cm10 +riches kernel is faster than stock so if you want to overclock cpu and such things , install cm. but before , flash stock 4.0.4 dunno which build number it is XD
cause when not your gsm is not working
And another good thing, think you know it, riches kernel comes with dual recovery

Ehm first is your bootloader unlocked?
When yes flash boot.img from cm then boot into recovery . Make factory reset,cache and dalvik wipe and go to mounts and storage , format system ... install avd rom , make permission fix (its in advanced) then dont reboot it , just take out battery then flash vengeance,simple or the stock kernel

[Q] Device stuck in bootloop

hey recently i had been planning to root my phone xperia L (c2104) since the sony stock os that i had on my phone had a lot of bugs on it.
so i started reading about bootloader which i have to unlock before rooting.
so i went to the sony website and followed each and every instruction given there.
it asked me to open command window and enter the unlock key.
i entered this key and i DIDNT get ANY error messages it showed that its done.
so i was happy
until i removed my phone and tried to start it
now it is stuck in bootloop.
please help me.

(for me) Flashtool is the best way to unlock/relock bootloader. its hassle free you dont need cmd promt.
heres the download link http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
if you still got bootloop, flash your device to to your stock FW/FTF
if you dont have your device back up
just search your stock FW in C2104 section here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
you should know your device model and build number..
NOTE: you need to root your device first in order to use Flashtool..
after flashing stock FTF reboot and wait.. it just takes time...
just hit thanks! hope it helps.. :good:

Flashing a stock ftf NEVER needs rooted device.
And you can still flash if it's in bootloop. Search in the general info thread and you'll find complete tutorials.
You can download your required stock ftf from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642

[Q] bootloop red led xperia l

Hi sir ! I will send you this video to explain my problem Can you help me please ? :crying::crying::crying:
---->>> youtu.be/rff-hc8N8Gg <<<----

Hi
Send real link for private mesage.
Send from my C2104 using XDA Premium HD app

Okay I saw the video, I had this problem. I was stuck here and nobody gave me answer, so I had to try my own methods.
You have two options:
1 Make a wipe with flashtools.
2 Reflash stock firmware.
But you asked me, as if the flash mode does not work ... it turns out is that after opening the bootloader flash mode works only with the camera button.
Until you flashees again be with that button, then return to normal.
If you do not know how to do a wipe with flashtools or Flashing firmware me questions and tell you how. Please do not forget to give thanks if you help.
Sorry if my english is bad. Stay tuned to your comments.

Hi man,
Sorry to disturb you, but i need some help. My phone is with boot loader locked, and its not possible no unlock ( bootloader unlock : Not allowed )
After a litle serach throw Xda i find a way too root my phone with bootloade block, and then i install a recovery ( cmw, philz ) After this i try to install a custom rom, but after that my phone stays always dead, and i have to instal the stock rom throw pc companion. I have tried diferents rom's but no one works, and all end with my phone completly dead. I have try with diferents recoverys, but no sucess, always phone dead and dont turn on....but my luck is that pc companion revive my phone. So my question is:
Even with the root acess and recovery access working 100 %, is impossible to instal a custom rom with bootloader blockeD?
Thanks

EVERY rom that is not specially marked at LB (LockedBootloader) includes a CUSTOM KERNEL .... locked bootloader will denie to load that kernel....
so you can install roms but only those who are marked at LB or LockedBootloader

Kernel Alternative?

Thanks man,
Anyway, its possible to instal a kernel from xda and install rom after. Man if its possible i can do it.
The problem is only when i have to install any rom. i have brick my phone 6 times till now, but pc companion always saved me.
Another recovery more compatible?

Before I start to offer ideas on the issue do you have any idea what caused this to start?
Did you flash a custom ROM/Recovery/Firmware to the phone or did it just stop working ?

Yes. I try to unlock bootloader by official way. But i couldnt unlock it on that way. So I unlocked it using flash tool.
Then i install cwm recovery. But after that i couldnt turn on my phone. I think i did some mistake.

Then the best option is to download the flashing tool for your device and flash the stock firmware to it using fastboot. That should get it into a working state which you can then work from to install a custom recovery.

Before booting/after flashing the firmware make sure you reset the device in recovery so it has a "clean slate" to boot to as this should remove any old apps/settings from the previous firmware/ROM that could cause it to bootloop
