I have installed Phantom kernel and after that it is dead.
Please let me know how you have solved your issue, mine is not in warranty.
How you have locked your bootloader when it is not booting. please suggest

Completely agree with you. But he's flashing the whole ftf and not any single. sin. The log says this. And if you're talking about the kernel then he SUCCESSFULLY flashed phantom v7 which is not available as. sin file.
I hope you understood what I'm trying to say.

Hi all,
Problem which i am currently facing is Xperia L not booting. The above mentioned ERR_DYNAMIC=" 0x80080012 "; came when i did the following things.
1. Flashed C2104_15.0.A.2.17_India.ftf
2. Everything was working fine.
3. Flashed Phantom kernel (Phantom v7-JB) i.e boot.img file
4. Xperia l stops responding.
5. Now while putting on wall charger, it is showing RED LED Linking (each after 2secs approx)
6. When connecting to laptop and checking in flashtool, it is showing as given below. Also getting 1 time RED LED + 1 time GREEN LED blink (may be due to bootloop).

Try this
Take out your battery
push power button about 5 seconds
put battery back and charged it approx 10 min.
try flashed again ftf file via flastool
also need to check your usb port..
So you have tried changing the PC, Usb cable, ftf and none works, right?
are you sure that your bootloader is still unlocked?
I hope you didn't try to relock your bootloader after flashing phantom. (Just predicting). Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then try faizalotai's solution posted above.

okay
charge your battery fo atleast one hour. Then take it out and press the power button for around 30 seconds. Then put in the battery and DO NOT power on yet. Connect your usb while holding volume UP. There must be a blue led glowing.

that leaves you with the only choice of contacting sony service centre. Since you can't enter fastbooot I believe there's some hardware problem. Try flashing the kernel using flashtool. Or just trying updating the adb drivers.
and if that doesn't work, please take your device to sony.

There's no need to get the whole motherboard changed. Atleast talk to sony. They may charge you a bit more but they're reliable.
and one more thing I want to add is that I once faced the same issue with led. and I actually charged it for 2 hrs. You should try this.
No solution for this problem? I got same problem

Hi Friends,
My Xperia L looks bricked and i am having no idea whether it is Hard or soft brick.
I am unable to turn it on and when i connect it to the charger it is showing 1 blink of green LED and after that 1 blink of red LED.
After that no LED, no vibration when power button pressed, no SONY logo.
Even i charged my XL for 1hr and it is showing no LED.
Yesterday i flashed C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf and everything was working fine.
I have unlocked my bootloader and flashed kernel Phantom v7-JB.
After installing the kernel, my XL looks bricked.
When i try to again install stock FTF via flashtool i am getting error ERR_DYNAMIC="0x80080021

I think because of power button is not working.... so is the volume down key... and due to that when volume down key is pressed during flashing with flashtool...... it is always showing in connected mode i.e Device connected in flash mode.
we are not entering into Flashing process or may be i am wrong.

I'm not too sure. But it said it was about to begin flashing, that means flashboot mode seems to be working. People with a hard brick weren't able to enter flash mood at at all. I'm not sure what's the problem sorry, but I don't think you have a hard brick. Can you enter recovery mode? Hold the volume up button once the led turns purple when it boots. I'm only asking because you did say, you flashed phantom kernel.

Hi, I had that problem you have to do is flash a custom kernel via fastboot. I do recommend phonix kernel, with that you get into recovery and do a factory reset, so your phone ripped again.
Tell me something, even the team the green LED illuminates when connected in flash mode? If not, I do not think you can re-flash tft to return it to its original mode, at least that happened to me. The other thing that happened to me is that the baseband was changed and now I can not connect to 3G when you start reviewing it.

someone told me that the bootloader get demaged.. so its a permanent brick... is that true?
solved
i changed the usb cable and it worked fine.
I recently flashed the thunderzap kernel to my device using twrp. The installation completed perfectly but when I restarted my device, the screen would not turn on. There was a brief vibration and a red light started flashing on the phone but that is all:crying:. My battery was at 97% during install so it couldn't have been that. Any idea how to fix this?

And you're in what firmware??JB/Kitkat?
Thunderzap and Phantom doesn't support JB anymore..Only Civic Kernel but its still used the old one for Kitkat that doesn't support latest Kitkat Roms

Seems like your device was under volt beyond it could function.
if you can go in recovery, reflash any custom ROM without any custom kernel (civic,thunderzap etc.)
You can also use fastboot commands to flash kernel from custom ROM (PAC/Slimkat/CM etc) you are using.
Reinstall FTF using flash tool if you can't do any of above.
If you need any other help, do quote me

Thank you for your reply. I was not able to enter recovery due to my inability to start the phone. My bootloader is apparently locked so i cannot flash any ROMs or kernels, and flash tool freezes when identifying device then says the bootloader cannot be unlocked even though I checked while the phone still worked and it can be unlocked. Fastboot getvar does not give me my IMEI so i cannot unlock my bootloader the sony way either. Fastboot and flashmode are the only ways i can interface with my device. Please help.

Use flashtool.
download flashtool for Xperia. (Google it)
download ftf file from xperia L general section.
@Joel16 has a proper guide as well.
HERE
Flash ftf and you are good.
You don't need to unlock your device. However you will need drivers for fastboot mode which I have posted in general section as well.
Details HERE
Check this to find out how to flash FTF
HERE
Or alternatively, you can use Sony Companion in which you would be guided step by step and you would not need to download anything manually than the software itself. However you would still need drivers

Thank you for your help. I followed your instructions and attempted to flash the stock firmware but I got this error:
-INFO -For flashtool, Unknown sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
The last time I checked, these two options were enabled. I have no idea what to do. Is it possible to fix this?

too little Information I am afraid. can you send me the Log for flashtool and maybe take a screenshot of it as well.
I am suspecting you do not have proper drivers Installed.
visit general section and look for zperia L driver by me (hnk1)
I might have posted a link above too.
Try the process again after installation of drivers and If it doesnt work, quote me again with log n screenshot

Thanks for the help.
But flashtool was working fine before the incident. Thing is I was flashing different kernels (thunderzap 4.1) on the second or third try I think I corrupted the kernel...
I cant go into recovery or fastboot mode.

Try using older version of flashtool, is bootloader updated?, did you use fsc script of using latest flashtool, more information would be nice what you have posted doesn't really tell us anything

My version of Flashtool isn't the latest, I believe it is made in March. I used a .ftf (or .tft) to flash it back because I bricked it.
Oh, and I heard your battery percentage should be 50%+ and I'm charging it to see if it works then. Someone else said I have to keep the flashmode button (volume down) on as long as it flashes it..I don't know a lot of phone unbricking, I've only unbricked my tablet and that was a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1"

Okay, well 50+ & holding volume down didn't work..
can anyone please help me?
Try reinstalling the drivers it helped me
9.18.6 or earlier work better(no it's not the build date) are you wiping user data and cache when flashing ftf, have you tried a different region ftf it's possible to get Corrupted downloads. you do not need to hold the vol- pressed down while flashing only whilst connecting to USB/flashtool once green led goes out let go. I don't know who told you to hold it down whilst flashing but they obviously have no clue what they are doing themselves.

Hi Aidy.
My friend said the same you did, the file is corrupted, or so we think. I'm currently downloading another .ftf
I currently do not know how to wipe user data and cache while flashing, so could you tell me, because I'm in a tough situation - waste another gigabyte for nothing, or get it to work with wiping data.
Regards,
S
EDIT: I found out how to wipe cache and user data, that didn't help. I realized that the file is corrupted, because why would it say "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors."

I got an older version of Flashtool, that didn't help, as well. I am still stuck like earlier.

So we have resolved the issue by switching from Windows 10 PC to Windows 8.1 PC, fully flashed and working!
I don't know, I did reflash my Aqua just recently (Wednesday, finally got the update for my region), used the newest version of Flashtool. I did get that error - I just restarted flashing process and everything went good. I'm on W10 x64.

I'm on W10 Pro x64, but I don't think that's the difference.
I made the ftf using the Flashtool (after downloading from Xperifirm).
Nothing else - just after first connecting it gave me error (might be Windows recognising correct drivers or something). Tried it again - of course, same setup, nothing changed - working flawlessly. (Might be that you need to hold the down button until it shows work in Flashtool?)

I have a strange problem with with my XZ while trying to flash any ftf.

25/057/2019 03:57:42 - INFO - Device disconnected
The strange thing is that the phone does not actually get disconnected, windows doesn't even play the disconnection sound and the green light signifying flash mode stays on.
I've tried flashing 2 different MM ftf files and 2 different Oreo files but it always stops at the same point. I cant use fastboot because my bootloader is still locked. I can't even unlock it because the guides i was following don't even mention enabling OEM unlock until after the flashing is done...
I tried repairing with xperia companion but it always fails with basically no information. I feel like I can still rescue the phone because i have flash mode, fastboot mode and when i power on, it shows the Sony logo and then "software update failed". Also, the phone shows up as SOMC flash device when plugged in in flash mode(if that helps). Pls what do I do from here?

I just tried that and tried to flash a couple more times, sometimes it stops at "Opening device for R/W", other times it stops at "Opening TA partition 2" and then some how disconnects and reconnects.
This all started because i tried to downgrade from Oreo to MM.
