Good afternoon everyone .. I have a problem and would like your help .. this bricked my Xperia U C2104 and I can not pass or flashmode FASTMODE to install rom via Flashtool. He does not care does nothing .. I tried to install ClockworkMod but it happened .. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful ...
PS: I'm trying to put the path setool2 funcianal not found this program .. so error "smart card not found"
Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian

Is your phone staying at the boot animation ? Download a custom rom made by Serajr and copy to sd.
If yes, flash vengeance kernel (do not flash modules!) via fastboot, goes to CWM, partition and format /system. Then flash the rom using cwm, and you will be able to flashmode via flashtool. When your phone boot's up and you able to use it, flash extended kernel v2 to have wifi working. I done it and fixed my XL from brick

Are you pressing the recovery buttons correctly? Take out battery then put it back. Then try pressing the Power button and Volume Up + Down together and see if it opens CWM..

Don't worry bro! Try to boot into CWM again because it should be there. Then try to flash the ROM again...
And remember, in future, always take a Nandroid backup before you install anything, mod or ROM. It really helps in case something goes wrong and phone stops working,

None of the tools will work unless you install the correct Drivers.. So install teh drivers that are given in the SP Flash tool thread and then try.

It's not a hard brick yet.
The " Downloading... " message won't change and that's normal, Odin leftmost white bar will turn yellow if it detect your phone, otherwise, you will need to install your phone's USB Cable Drivers.

You should try wiping data and cache by going into recovery mode. If ur phone still stuck on boot logo then u have to flash Stock rom using odin. For this. You must have ur phones drivers installed in your Computer.
Download Samsung drivers from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
read the instructions and install.
After that download your phone's stock firmware: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ace-plus-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82

[Q] Xperia L brick dead

hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome

Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome

ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!
