[Solved] Hard bricked my Xperia J...

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've tried to update my Xperia J to the new Jelly Bean firmware, but before that, I've done a full wipe and format system and cache through CWM. After that, I reboot my phone and it never goes after the Sony logo. I've tried to repair it with PC Companion, SUS and Flashtool, but everytime it starts to flash new Rom, the green led goes off and nothing is done.
Is there any solution for this, or should I go to the store and pray that it isn't to expensive to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Its not hard bricked.Its really normal for green light to go off while flashing ftf.Just wait for the flashtool to complete preparing files and then connect your phone in flash mode(green led) after the prompt appears.It will instantly start the flashing process (and yes, the green led goes off as soon as flashing starts so dont worry).
You may also experience a strange problem where the flashtool gets stuck at 0 percent. You can fix that by trying some older version of flashtool.
Good luck

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm really getting stucked at 0 percent at Flashtool. I can´t even repair it with PC Companion, that's why I was afraid that is was an hard brick. I'm going to try with an older version of Flashtool as you've said.
Thanks again.
EDIT: I've tried with an older version of Flashtool and still no luck, always getting stucked at 0 percent. I read somewhere that my problem must be that my phone at this moment don't have any operating system and that probably I couldn't fix it at home. Is this true or is there something more I can do?

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Well i used to get this problem with my flashtool.Installing an older version did the trick for me.You can try flashing from some other system

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
If you got unlocked bootloader then you can fastboot flash fxp kernel followed by the rom itself.This will atleast make your device functional again.

Unfortunately my bootloader is locked.
I will try again, but this time on my computer here at work.
EDIT: Still no luck in another computer. I guess I will need to go to Vodafone Store at the end of the day and see what they can do with my phone.

Good news!!
I've installed PC Companion here on my work computer and it repaired my phone. Probably there's some kind of problem with my computer at home. I'm already flashing Jelly Bean normally with flashtool.
Thanks a lot for your help balboarocky.

Use Flashtool for this

Really hard Brick sony xperia J
under clockwork mod (after using int for installing cyanogen) i want to erase some data because my Cyanogen install was bugged (i forgot to Md5 checksum, so the files was maybe corrupted),
but i was very tired.and it's more than possible than i erase boot or systeme,
since that NO Led, No fastboot or Flashmode connections,
Do you think my Xperia is dead from dead (tm) .
Edit : to make the phone react and avoid bootloop i have to remove the battery and use it like the "power button" to take my phone in Flashboot, reflash Cwm and my phone work again ....

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

Xperia L not booting after flashing .ftf

Hello!
Last night I flashed Xperia L C2105 with stock rom which I found here.
Flasing finished without any error but when I try to turn the phone on it only giving me one short vibrate and black screen... after 3sec I can press and hold power button again and again short vibrate and black screen... No SONY logo... no Xperia logo.
When I connect phone to charger red LED is blinking, I tried different battery but result was the same.
I can still connect to device in flash mode and fastboot mode... via FlashTool.
Any help will be appropriated.

Yes... I tried that.
It looks like it was my fault... I flashed .ftf while battery level was under 10%
Phone is bricked and I lost interest in fixing this phone.
Thanks for your time to replay to my post

If your phone is connecting in flashmode, so what about flashing stock rom ftf via Flashtool ? Something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338074 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356876 ? Have you tried it ?

its not a problem.when the green light comes, its okay.that means you can flash.Dont worry if it goes off.Just connect and flash the firmware. (When you click the flash button , flashtool is going to start normally , but you probably cant see any green loader.Dont worry that to.wait until flashtool says flashing finish. it may took 10 minutes.)

Got it solved?

I hard bricked my phone plZz help meee

I have an Sony xperia e3 d2212 running stock recovery n ROM 4.4.2 also stock
I rooted my phone using kingoroot.apk n switched to SuperSU using supersume pro.apk
I have no PC access so I still have a locked boot loader
Today I found a link to an app named EZ unlock.apk which said it could unlock my boot loader I installed hit unlocks asked me if I wanted to unlock my boot loader I hit yes n a msg saying boot loader unlocked piped up in seconds
Den I took cwm for my phone from XDA n tried updating my recovery using mobile unclemtk tools n wen I selected the recovery.IMG it got switched off n hasn't turned on yet led notification is also not working
I tried connecting to a PC it don't recognize my device
My mistake was the cwm was for Sony xperi e3 d2212 running stock 4.4.4
I flashd it on my 4.4.2 that must have caused the bricking plZz help me it isn't even booting in fastboot
Since my phone got bricks I'm pretty sure that app must have unlocks my boot loader other wise it would have booted normally as I tried flashing the same cwm b4 using the same tool
PlZz help me
Thanks in advance
Hope ugot a clear picture of my problem

First, everyone who wants to help you would appreciate some appropriate use of the English language. You don't have to be fluent or anything, at least just write properly.
Secondly, I would recommend trying first the Sony PC Companion to restore everything, if it doesn't work, try using the flashtool with XperiFirm to download the appropriate software and flash it. Here is guide on using XperiFirm
