So I've posted this a while ago and Sakthivel_Subbiah tried to help me... Big thanks for him
(Alsdo, you can find the history of bricking there!)
The thing is that I installed a recovery (don't know if it was successful or not) but I can't turn on my phone by pressing the POWER button. If you've read my previous post I told there that my phone only vibrates and flashes green when I try to turn it on. I can only start it by charging or attaching to USB, but it boots into Safe Mode every time. This means I can't use apps to enter recovery or install BusyBox or Root Explorer to install recovery by hand...
EDIT: adb won't work, neither the "adb reboot" nor "adb reboot recovery" work.
I've tried to flash the stock ROM and kernel with both SEUS and PC Compnion. Twice.
I would really appreciate any help! Thank you guys in advance!
Simple to sort out just flash the the old kernel or recovery you had before to start with
And your phone should at least boot up ..And i have many boot.img like twrp and cloclkworkmod that
may help you to flash your phone into recovery ..If the worse thing happens you can flash your phone back to stock
Using flashtools or pc companion does reset your phone once you have bootloader locked
I did it on mine many times
EDIT: Okay, I'm getting there slowly. I managed to flash the stock ROM I've found and now I can start my phone. Now it only starts in safe mode. Also maybe this is releated: it's doing weird things like automatically opening the menu by itself etc.
First of all thanks for replying!
The thing is that I've flashed back the stock ROM twice with both SEUS and PC Companion.
I would really appreciate if you could send me (or link me to) a flashable kernel and ROM that you are sure it will work.
I haven't managed to unlock by bootloader because my phone is 11W39.
I just tried to attach the phone to USB to make it boot up and I wait for the SE logo to appear. After that...
1, I try to enter recovery with the USB plugged on ---> At the moment I press the BACK button my phone immediately switches to charging state and doesn't boot up.
2, I remove the USB and try to enter recovery ---> The SE logo persists and after 5 seconds it turns off
So I can't enter recovery. I couldn't find a method.

Thanks for replying, but did you even care to read the original post?
The main issue here is that I can't reboot in recovery. Not even to the stock one.

Hello everyone . I have successfully rooted the XPERIA J but after installing the CWM mentioned in the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114
My Xperia can boot into recovery all right but it doesnt turn on in NORMAL mode . When I press the power button the SONLY LOGO comes up and then the phone turns off.
I had to repair it using PC Companion. Can you tell what the problem is . I changed the model number in build.prop too but it didnt help.
Can you please provide a working CWM for Xperia J ?
Need it urgently for installing CM10.
Thanks in advance.

before instal CWM you need to unlock bootloader

that cwm only works on .18 & .28 fw. thats why most people like me with unlockable bootloaders are stuck on primitive stock fw no one has developed a proper cwm for locked bootloaders yet

Try flashing the stock rom, it worked for me!!!!!!
the same thing hapenned to me too
Okay so I seem to have soft bricked my Xperia J too
Only this time I can't seem to get into Flash mode or Recovery mode!
Holding/Pressing Vol+ doesn't bring up the blue LED and the phone doesn't vibrate at all.
Likewise for Vol+. Nothing happens and the phone remains stuck on the Sony boot logo.
Any idea what I could do? (USB isn't recognised on PC either so I can't connect that way.)
Edit: Okay scratch that, randomly button mashing Volume DOWN seemed to work for me. Only took about 50 or so reboots
Sony`s PC Companion can repair Boot Up problems after CWM install faild
Just watch this video on youtube and follow exactly the description on your PC Companion. Just search for this video on youtube "How to fix a (soft) bricked Sony Xperia Play( any Xperia )EASY METHOD, when stuck on the Sony logo"
Wanted to post the Link but it`s not allowed before posted at last ten contributions - sorry for that (XDA rules!)
This will fix all Xperia Models - it works so easy and pretty fast (about 20 minutes) and after that you have a phone just like brand new from the dealer with the latest software rolled out for your device in your country - sweet
Pls help me S1 fastboot prblm

make sure that you install a ROM which is made for Xperia C as it has locked bootloader and will only install those ROMS
There are currently 3 ROMs available for Xperia C (which are posted on XDA-Forums)
1) Xperia-Z-ized ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705091
2) Dark Xperia Z2 ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739724

I would say that you use CWM... It is best recovery ever :good:
**Root your device (Link provided above)
**Download "recovery.img" (attached below) and then place it in your internal memory
**Install "MobileUncleTools" (attached below) and install it
**In MobileUncleTools go to "recovery update" and select the recovery.img
**Wait for some time and your device will automatically restart and CWM will be started
( if you are on 16.0.B.2.16 then you have to do this process 2-3 times, I don't know why this is happens)
If later you want to open recovery then use the method : press "power" + "volume down" until u boot into recovery

In tht recovery update im getting lot of cwm files which 1 to select

Installing ROMs, Rooting the device and unlocking the bootloader are considered under the rooting and hence void your warranty. After doing any of these you will not receive system updates from the Settings>>About Phone>>Software Update menu. But you can update your device using "Sony PC Companion" And apps will be updated from Google Play Store so it is no problem, you will receive updates for the apps installed.
And you may ask as many questions as you want there is no problem... This forum is made for this only :good:

Try this first :
Open Sony PC Companion, and select the very first option (Support Zone), then the last option (Repair device) and there select Xperia C (do not connect your phone until here), now after selecting Xperia C when PC Companion asks you to connect your device, now connect your device and make sure you are continuously pressing the Volume Down Key (it will come written there and pics will also be there) and then wait till it detects your device. Then PC Companion will repair your device.
If this does not help then try method given on THIS thread.
If nothing helps then you have to go to Service Centre.
Connect your phone to the computer, Reboot into CWM , then in advanced, select mount USB. thats it.
Or just use a card reader and place the rom in ur SD card.

Phone model?
Xperia c 2305 I was able to boot in cwm and tried to flash stock rom again it shows error
Today morning I installed oxygen via fastboot with this tutorial : h t t p s : / / f o r u m s . o n e p l u s . n e t / t h r e a d s / o x y g e n o s - 2 - 1 - 4 - f o r - t h e - o n e p l u s - o n e . 4 2 5 5 4 4 /
then I wanted to get into fastboot to going back to Cyanogenmod 13 .
But the surprise is that they can not access fastboot.
This is a video found on youtube !
This is precisely what I tried myself, but nothing .
h t t p s : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = y L d 6 T C M N O Q E & a b _ c h a n n e l = j o s e p h f r a n c o
This is my recovery:
h t t p s : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = R F y r L e c 1 F 9 g & a b _ c h a n n e l = D a n i e l V M
Please Help me!
Sorry for my bad english, i used google translate!
Bringing this post back to life as its happening now to me. I cannot go to fastboot, or to bootloader, phone will only go straight to stock cyanogen recovery. never rooted to anything to the phone.
Heres another weird symptom.......if i put my phone in the off state from the power off option in the recovery, hold both my vol up & down, the phone will boot to OS no prob...but as soon as i want to restart, it goes right back to the recovery, it wont boot normally, and still cant go to fastboot. the only way to boot is to power off and plug and hold vol up & down.
Oh, BTW, heres another weird detail.......when phone restarts to recovery, i get a very quick half second screen of android laying down with letters "NO COMMAND" then it goes to recovery screen.......I know the phone boots to OS, but to have to have it plugged to do so is not ideal......and...i lost all my personal stuff, as it boots to a clean no data having OS as if i factory reset it...which i never did.
Again, i have never attempted a mod on this particular phone, just normal OTA updates. when i go to about phone, heres is the info:
ver: 6.0.1
Cyanogen OS ver: 13.1.2-znh2kas3p0-bacon
CyanogenMod version: Elderly (5)
basband: di.3.0.c6-00241-mb8974aaaaanazm-1
kernel 3.4.110
build date: aug 11 2016
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
