[Q] Did I brick my phone? - Sony Xperia L

Hi guys,
I was deactivating apps on my Xperia L (C2105) with Titanium Backup and I think I bricked my phone.
I was deactivating all those apps starting with Xperia and having something to do with that social media bull**** I don't use anyway. So I decided to deactivate them. I might have deactivated Xperia Home accidentally too. After I closed Titanium Backup the screen went dark, only the upper "taskbar" showed up and the Walkman app was running. I shut my phone down and tried to turn it on again. But that's where it gets stuck. I see the Sony logo, then Xperia logo and then that coloured animation and that's it. It gets stuck from this point on.
I tried all button combinations like Volume + and Power or Volume - and Power but it didn't work. When I press Volume + AND - and Power nothing happens. But after this even just pressing the Power button won't work. I have to take out the battery and then Power button works again.
Is there any way I can recover my phone without flashing it?
If not, can you suggest a good step by step tutorial on how to unbrick my phone?

Damn it. That's what I feared. Thanks for your quick reply.

Or you may push a launcher to your /system/app through adb...
This happened to me many times...

Thanks for the tip but I've already flashed my phone with fw version .26. Now it runs like it used to. Battery life is great, I can go 3 days without recharging. And it runs way more smoothly and without bugs. I don't know what Sony changed in .14 and .17 but it's gotten way worse.

I rooted it and after that it was working fine but i gave the phone to my friend for some time and he installed root uninstaller app and selected all system files and uninstalled them. After that when I rebooted it, it just got stuck on boot animation. I tried to fix it with PC companion and after the update it is not turning on. When I press power button it just keep on blinking red led.
put the root files in your sd card and
Switch off your Xperia M first
Switch it back on and the time when you see your phone’s LED notification light turn Pink! (or changes to any other color) — start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times to make your phone boot into recovery mode
Once you’re in recovery mode. Use Volume buttons to navigate Up and Down between options and Power button to select an option in recovery.

2. Now launch Sony Update Service and select Xperia C in the list and then press Next.
3. Hold the Volume Up button and plugin microusbcable while doing so, if that doesn't work for you, hold power + volume up and plugin the microusbcable while doing. Keep holding button combination for a few seconds and wait for a green light on your phone, if it appears check on
your PC so that it's detected.
4. Wait while the firmware is being downloaded and reinstalled on your phone and enjoy your working device!

I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.
I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.
this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN
thanks
thank, i like this forum
worth to try... (hope it won't happen to me :laugh: )
I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!! And to all those of you who are DESPERATE to fix their phone (I hope you read this thread), DON'T PANIC, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It took me 2 days of searching the web, and FINALLY I MADE IT!!! There are ALWAYS solutions to these kinds of problems!!!!

On my D2306 next to the sim and SD card slots there is a reset button that can be accessed by pushing in a paperclip, I believe it cuts the battery as if you had pulled the battery from the phone, both methods work for me!
Xperia M2 has reset button. Next to SD card slot there is a hole, you need something thin to press it.
If phone stuck at Sony logo this is not hardbrick, it's softbrick. Please change thread title. @RatchetHacked

Did this happen while you were installing any custom rom ? Does your phone show the boot logo of sony ? Is your phone rooted? Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, then flash stock rom in flashmode with flashtool.
Hi, here is the same trouble: Xperia Miro st23i, was simply turned off (not while flashing) and now doesn't turn on, has no logo, lights, vibes etc, on USB shown as unrecognized device, also cannot be connected to PC Companion and Flashtool. This device has factory stock firmware without any mods s.a. root or BLU, battery is OK.
my sony xperia miro st23i just cut off just so and it don't want to boot back up I took out the battery and put it back and when I press the power button it vibrate and that's all the screen blank all u seeing is a blue light on the bottom of the screen when u press the power button again. How to get back my phone to work

If you have a backup of your phone then restore it but if you don't have one, you have to flash a .FTF corresponding to your phone model.
