Guys, I soft-bricked my friend's Xperia L while unlocking the bootloader (used Sony's method, with ADB and Fastboot), but then, after unlocking and rebooting, we're struck at the bootanimation. How can I make it alive again?

Thats perfectly normal.
Just flash a .ftf trought Flashtool and you are good to go
Here is the link to all versions of FTF curently available
Did it, but now Wi-Fi isn't working correctly and PC Companion doesn't detect the device anymore. What should I do?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
OK, witch version of firmware did you flash? I had problems with wifi on 15.3.0.26. The newest firmware did fix that problem.
Did you flash some custom kernel? If you have you must enter recovery and flash modules for that kernel.
If nothing of this is a problem try to reflash firmware.
So enter flashtool choose flashmode put check marks on wipe CACHE and DATA, also check No final verification.

Yep, I flashed the 15.3.0.26 firmware, so that was the problem. I flashed the latest firmware and everything works great now! I also flashed a custom kernel for my friend, and now he's really happy!
I had the same problem with my phone some days back
Flashing with Stock Rom helped. But flash with the latest Stock rom
I suggest you flashing 15.3.A.1.14 ftf and keep WIPE DATA and CACHE ticked..
If you are searching the "why" of the bootloop I think that I have you because whose answer is the following: If you try to charge the mobile and it has become part of those soft-bricked devices, I think that this is because you don't have enough charge to boot properly, so, what you have to do is to connect your device in flash mode, waiting for the flashmode more than usually, and then restart you firmware with the properly .ftf that you want.
Luck!

I am just about to download the world firmware(i guess it makes no diff, just languages)and want to ask, how do I flash it to the tipo?what should i do after (if it flashes)?
Dont worry... the firmware will work just fine... tested it myself. Just use flashtool(google it out) to flash the ftf of your ftf to the phone. Root it using binary method and follow the procedure descrobed in other thread to get root on the latest firmware. Tried ot amd now i am rooted with ocz version of 11. 0. a. 4. 22

Does downgrading with flashtool work with locked bootloader? Please can you confirm that? What does "ocz version mean"?

Yes it does, you only need an unlocked bootloader if the ROM you're gonna use is using a different kernel than your stock firmware.
Ocz is jst the version of latest firmware available here...

Can anyone tell me if I should untick wipe data and wipe cache or keep them on for flashing?
Do not uncheck them.let them get deleted else your phone will keep on rebooting after the flashing is complete
Sent from my ST21i using xda premium
Forgot to mention one important thing.you have to check wipe data and wipe cache options obly while downgrading to older firmware.after pushng in the root files just upgrade tocthe latest firmware and make sure not to check wipe data this time.

Thanks, can you link the guide on which files to insert, and how should I update to latest fw?
And one more thing: MSC or MTP mode while flashing?
Vibrator seems to stopped working, vibrate on touch doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't even vibrate in service menu on vibrator.
Also when I lock my screen I can't come out of it again, help?
EDIT:It seems the phone stopped working with vibrate/lock as soon as i put the perm root files on it from the miro thread, which apparently works for every phone.I will stay at .16 as I don't need an sms counter.Thanks for your trouble people.
i had the same problem, i downgraded the firmware, root it, than flash it with the latest firmware and the root dont work now it says there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it ,this is a problem?? what should i do

same issue as cipjanin. i downgraded to 11.0.A.0.16 (checked wipe cache and data) and rooted perfectly. reflashed to 11.0.A.4.22 and unchecked "wipe data" and "wipe cache" but root is lost.
balboarocky, did you do the exact same steps as we did?
while downgrading try uncheck wipe and cache and after root it, upgrade via SUS not fabric restore+ upgrade, just upgrade (keep user data)..

Sent from my Xperia Tipo using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure about that. he didn't give any specific info about how messed up his system is. if he install any stock ICS based rom (without any custom kernel) his problem mostly could be fixed by reflashing the rom and wipe the data. flashing a kernel won't fix this issue. aside from that scenario, there are several more scenario i.e:
1 he could have install a JB based rom then he install a ICS rom, completely dead. need to flash complete tft or reflash JB rom and wipe data.
2 ICS rom with custom ICS kernel. can be fixed by flash a stock kernel
3 etc etc...there are a lot of scenario
my main point is that flashing a kernel doesn't always fix anything. in most cases, I only suggest that step for more advanced user. without enough data about the system condition flashing a complete tft will be a general and always working method.
anyway, before we do any 'flash' thing, IMO wipe data might be a good choice. most new member forget about that important step and ended up with a bricked device.
ok then...i said to flash kernel and to choose a custom rom (gimlo, paradox etc) but if ico98 download again ftf file will he have this problem again? (header.sin)
P.S. sometimes i forgot to wipe system and data when i am to cm10 and i want to go back to ics and the only problem i have is some apps to force close....no brick only fc
P.S.2 i installed kernels from xperia mini pro and insecure kernel E dual and my phone didnt brick, just not boot...maybe my phone has immunity at brick ahahahahahahaha

I think installing clockworkmod for wiping isn't an option. The op flashed stock Rom probably because he wants his warranty back
Installing clockworkmod again would void it again. If the stock Rom you downloaded is the one you had before rooting, then try flashing it again. If it's not, then download your originally out of box stock Rom and flash it with Odin.
Like...the same baseband version as the one you had before any modification of your system

There are no my contry ROM. I stucked with bootloops and debug options OFF. What to do???! It's driving me crazy...
After almost two weeks of seeking for solutions all over internet, the problem was solved. First of all there are no way to root without debuging off via odin o any other tool. All what you have, is just to look for your original firmware of the phone, and it supposed to be four file package.
Looks like:
FULL_CSC_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_MODEM_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_PDA_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
s2ve.pit
In this case it was german phone so files end with DBT.
CSC - as CSC
MODEM - as CP or PHONE
PDA - as AP or PDA
and pit file for re-partition.
The name of whole package is GT-I9105P-DBT-I9105PXXAMC2_Service-Firmware.zip
For those asking for delete dalvik/cache/factory reset, the solution is - RE-PARTITION!
I used also option Nand Erase All, just to be sure I delete everything.
All other operations goes as usual in Odin.
I can't post links here, bat me mercy on those looking for solution for days and weeks long.
So here is link that I found on some forum that leading to (thanx Goshhhh!!!) to Google docs, so download was just 5 min. long.
Here is German (DBT) package, and some other usefull links. Use G. translator to understand.

Hi All
My E6653 is no longer booting after freezing while running a custom rom. When I boot, it shows the Sony logo, then the light flashes red. It does not let me enter TWRP.
I have tried flashing original firmware using flashtool, repairing using xperia companion and the same issue happens.
I have tried flashing different custom kernels and TWRP versions. The only version of TWRP that works is TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AndroPlus but I cannot access the device through usb and adb does not work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I would be super grateful.
What have u done to make ur device freeze, and which kernel were u using before freezing?

Thanks for getting back to me. The phone froze while using the Plex app, and after I force rebooted, the boot issue happened.
I was running V2.3.3 of Xperia X ROM by _LLJY and the kernel that came with that custom rom.

Well the Rom's kernel which u were using does not include TWRP, just try one of these solutions :
1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.

2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.
- not 100% sure what to do with this. I don't have the original kernel patched with TWRP img inside. Is this something you have?

1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
- I tried this with 2 different official firmwares and no luck. I made sure I didn't exclude anything. It still gets stuck on the Sony logo
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.
- not 100% sure what to do with this. I don't have the original kernel patched with TWRP img inside. Is this something you have?

Try this: Install Androplus kernel and Twrp Recovery which comes with him.
Find flashable prerooted firmware for your model than connect phone to pc to transfer it when you are in Twrp and than wipe cache,dalvik and data and try to flash prerooted zip.

Still no luck. When the phone turns on, the light goes yellow, I hit:
VOL down - screen goes blank
VOL up - brightness increase of screen then goes off and the light flashes red

Tried this also. kernel and recovery seem to install fine. But when I press VOL up or down, it does not go into twrp.
I managed to get into TWRP using the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-3-0-2-cm-aosp-roms-t3373008 with AndroPlus kernel. But, cannot access the phones storage through computer. TWRP shows failed to mount /usb-otg (invalid argument).

Video located here . It keeps doing it over and over. I have never had this happen before and never had an issue which couldn't be resolved with flashing with flashtool.
