So guys,
After some ports, my XC2304 isn't able to run on flashmode to re-install firmware. Some days ago I create an ftf file for it be flashed by Perfect Flash, the results was sucessfully. Perharps, today I was porting a Z1 rom based on our last update .13. After install the rom by CMW the phone doesn't boot for anyway.
I tryed to reset by back button, no response;
I tryed to remove battery and no response;
I've tryed to boot into flash mode by pressing volume - but only stills on a red led.
I follow some tutorials but no one worked for me, the main problem is "device not recognized" by windows.
Can't connect on Perfect Flash\Sony Update service cause the flash mode doesn't appears.
Well, I was very excited to porting my new rom based on 4.3 AOSP, was some little bugs that I as just solving, but now I'm not able to continue my ports
If someone had the SAME problem and solved it, I'll be glad if you help me!
Best Regards.

I did the same thing like you and had same issue.
Unfortunately, we cant use Flashtool/ SUS/ Perfect Flash to unbrick because there have no driver for our xc.
So, I sent back to SONY yesterday.
Fix your problem using this way

this method doesnt work when you flash a rom for a different device like i did i already order a new motherboard for my xc. this only will solve it...changing motherboard.
And by the way if Red Light is shown then it is Soft Brick and you can very easily repair it. If that light is also not there then you can say that it is a hard brick.

Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.
Plz help .. Thanks in Advance
Try using flash tool!
and flash stock ftf through that.....

Hi
I confirm, just had the same problem while updating a custom ROM.
Get the Stock ftf file for your phone/model then use Flashtool to flash it.
Search the forum for the proper links there are likely to be all there somewhere
Hopefully, your phone will be back to life on a stock version.
And yes, if you want to re-install a custom ROM you need to re-do all the process: root, (optional) unlock Bootloader etc.
Good luck.
PS: I saw a thread saying to use the SEUS to restore the phone to stock. Worth a try but for me it didn't work since SEUS was telling my phone already had the latest version. Fix hard bricked ray

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

So im preety much a noobie about all this. Anyways,my friend told me that i can install cwm and make my phone better. And i downloaded it,turned bat file and restarted my phone. After that it wouldnt turn on,it would just blind red LED and stay that way,then i put it on charger for whole day and then it was green,and i turned my phone on and it showed sony logo,then charging battery and it turned off again.. I tried with flashtool (at least i think i did) but it didnt work. It flashed it for like 5 sec and nothing,same thing. Also sus didnt work as well. So please if anyone can help me,just speak english not xda language coz i really dont understand the things u say.
Download stock ftf and flash it with Flashtool. Search for tut on how to.
Sent from my D2303
you should download stock kernel, maybe the one from matej. and flash back to stock kernel after using the cwm as xperia j JB has no permanent cwm yet

first I want you to go through this guide :Using Flashtool,
then 2. install the drivers for your xperia j as mentioned in the above guide.
3. if your bootloader is unlocked then try to flash this stock kernel if you were running jelly bean 11.2.A.0.31 : stock kernel by connecting your device in fastboot mode.
if your bootloader is locked then download this stock firmware : 11.2.A.0.31 by connecting your device in flashmode
then Flash this downloaded firmware as mentioned in the above guide.
4.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.
Good luck
Hi, I'm a noob to this site and is my last call of action ive tried everything to get my phone working but I'm at a lost end now and getting frustrated.
If anyone can help me with my problem it will be much appreciated and a lot of pressure taken off me. to start with I towel rooted my xperia sp (c5303) which gave me root. I then installed a recovery called philz which worked great. installed lollipop all fine booted up but no data signal bar had explanation mark. I tried the data fix through recovery did not work so I thought il flash my device again to see if it rectifies my problem so I deleted all data cache delvic cache chose the file off sd card that I previously used but this time I got an error. and the phone just restarted . so I assume there is nothing on my phone now no firmware as it turns on comes up with the sony logo but hangs after a minute or so my phone turns its self off. I plug my phone into pc usb and the lightbar turns green at the bottom then after 40 seconds goes red with the sony logo again then after a minute reboots to green and so on in a boot loop state. I have tried flashing my phone to stock with flashtools but it gets so far then gives error that I don't have usb debugging and unknown sources enabled. I cant have them enabled as I cant access my phone. I have gone into flash tool drivers folder downloaded flashmode drivers and fastboot and viskan board it starts to install them comes up with welcome to device driver installation . sony(winusb) says failed. Google inc (winusb) says failed sony ericsson mobile communication says failed I assume it cant see my phone. I just don't understand what to do next.
If any body has had this problem could you please shed a little light, Thanks for taking time out to read this.

Glad you managed to fix it yourself.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask in the help thread for the Xperia SP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help
Thread closed.
[ROM][6.0] CyanogenMod 13.0 [ALPHA] have bricked some XPERIA L devices. So this thread is to help those people who are facing the problem. I came across some methods to recover their Xperia L. Although, I am not sure it will work because I haven't tried it myself (Can't risk bricking my phone on purpose just to check this method which may or may not fix it ). But please go ahead and try it.
It's better to try than to cry!

You had to install the latest package.. if u didn't only then u would've got hard bricked... cm13 is now tested by too many people and it runs without bugs.. so it may be the fault with the version of cm13 you used..

oh damn another one guy same happened to me with same rom ...
sorry but this means your phone is dead like mine, your bootloader is corrupted so device is unable to boot to kernel nor to system
no flashmode or fastboot mode, you can see it only in device manager (with proper drivers) as qhusb dload 9008
sadly we don't have proper files for QPST software so nobody unbricked his XL to this date
only chance is motherboard replacement

btw you had 2 partitions on your microsd? I need to know...
Hi, is it possible to have some more information on the situations with cm13 that have caused a hard-brick? I understood that that the features such as link2sd and app2sd are potentially dangerous? Is this understanding correct? If yes, could you please explain why and under which circumstances this could create troubles?
Do you have any further suggestions on what to avoid?
Many thanks in advance for your expert advice.
I wanted to try cm13 on my spare xperia l, but would like to avoid a hard brick...

Its already been fixed in newer builds, also, the developer has stopped the development. But you can surely use CM13 Based ROMs since they also have better editing options.
I really cant wait for cm13. It really pleases me If rom get fixes
