I can help you, did it just yesterday. The question is: do you want/need to downgrade because of root? That would need a special procedure

i think you can install tipo drivers by going into settings ->development and check 'debugging mode'. After, connect to pc via usb and drivers should start installing

Actually drivers come in the flashtool package. After installing open c/flashtool/drivers (I'd you installed here). Then install the last 2 options (flashnode and fastboot)

which option i have to select during flash '' flash mode or fastbootmode''

If you're flashing firmware, always 'flashmode'.
The name is pretty self-explanatory. Flashing > Flashmode.

is there any way to revive from hardbrick

Only a Sony engineer or someone who knows a real lot about electronics in such a mobile can fix hard brick. Hard brick means that hardware is probably broken.
But does your phone show any sights of life? Like does the led work when you plug in the charger. Then your phone is probably not hard bricked.

Maybe try to "force" to install driver trough the Device Manager in Windows. I have Win 7 64-bit and it just would't autoinstall my device in fastboot mode. I downloaded the driver, found my device in Device Manager and right clicked and choosed Update Driver. Then I choosed the folder where I had saved the downloaded driver
---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------
I have a Sony Xperia Tipo dual (ST21i2) Android smartphone which I tried to instal CyanogenMod 10 on. I managed to unlock the device in fastboot mode (according to instruction on Sony webside) and tried to flash it, but I think that I didn't place all the right files in the right folders for flashing because according to the instruction the device should reboot after flashing, but it didn't. I waited for 15-20 minutes and nothing happened so I disconnected the device from my PC. Now the when try to turn on the device the led flashes red 3 timed, then a short pause and then again 3 red flashes and so on it loops forever. So it seems that it is not completely dead yet. When I connect the device to my computer it is not recognized. In fact, Windows does not see it at all so I can not use Sony Flash Tool. Can anyone help my how to finish te installation of CM10 on my device? I have understood that you can force Xperia Tipo to install system form SDcard. If it is true how do I do that? Which files should be put on the card and how to force boot from the SDcard?

Thank you for ur reply, yes bootloader was unlocked and I was trying to install the custom rom but after restarting my xperia L never started again. Black dead...no logo just red LED blinking and I tried key combination but nothing. To repair through sus and flash tool it should be recognized by the pc. Its being recognized as unknown device by pc and did try to install driver manually but no luck. In both sus and flash tool I found message no phone attached.

Thanx, Before this issue with my Xperia L I was using PC companion and I guess this already installed drivers but now neither PC companion/SUS nor flash is detecting my phone. I am using windows 8 currently but I also tried on windows 7 to install the drivers but no luck. My friend suggested that I need a boot loader as all the data in my Xperia L has been washed out due to bad flashing. In my country no boot loader device available for Sony Xperia 2013 models. Any alternate solutions?

Bootloader..?!! I think you don't have any kernel in your phone currently that's why it isn't recognizing your phone by the PC.. Try using SUS on Windows 7..make sure your driver's are installed properly.. Either through SUS or Flashtool..
If your phone is Not Recognized by Flashtool that means you don't have Required Drivers Installed. Use the Below method to Solve this Problem.
Open the folder /Flashtool/drivers & Install "ggsetup-2.2.0.11".
If Still after the Above Process Flashtool doesn't Recognize your Phone. Use this Method.
Open the /Flashtool/driver folder & Extract the "XXX_ADB_Driver.zip" anywhere on your PC/Mac/Linux. [ This Zip corresponds to your Phone Model. ]
Now Open "Device Manager" on your PC/Mac/Linux & find the device which is with an Exclamation mark on it. [ Make sure your phone is Connected to the PC ]
Right Click on that Device & Choose Update Driver.
Choose to find the Driver Manually.
Now Browse to the Folder where to have Extracted your Phone Model Zip File.
This will Install the Required Drivers on your Computer.
After that Open Flashtool Again & Try to Recognize your Device.
If Still you see any problem reply back for further assistance..
Hit Thanks if I helped you..

Hi pervenkal, try varunpilankar steps, I too faced this issue while flashing my Xperia L for the first time, 7 months ago. But it is most probably driver issue, during that time I tried lots of drivers even the one given with flashtool, but finally drivers from ADT bundle helped me.

The red blinking light sounds like your battery is low, I read about someone who had do e this not long ago. Couldn't boot tinto recovery because they had insufficient charge. Charge your phone on mains power for an hour, and then try flashtool again. But make sure you wipe everything.

First, Which phone you have, c1905 is Xperia M
Second, Flashing Xperia M ftf to Xperia L is a guaranteed brick ==
i don't think it can be fixed without a complate nand rewrite. just a assumption

@asad69 have you checked wipe data and wipe cache when you flashed with flash tool?

HELP! Xperia C Stuck on Sony Logo
Hello guys, can you help me fix my Sony Xperia C 2305 stuck in Sony Logo.
I'd already tried the Sony Companion but in the middle of installation it stopped.
What should i do?? Please! Thank you!

Sony Xperia C Unbrick
Hi... I came across this problem recently while installing CWM using MobileUncle Tools without changing the Boot-version. If your Boot-version is not supported, then you need to first convert it to the suitable Boot-version. There is a seperate Xperia C XDA thread on install CWM on both the Boot-versions. Now in your case, you have flashed a wrong recovery which has bricked your device.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to un-brick your Xperia C. This worked for me. Hope it works for you too...
1. Firstly, remove the back-cover of your Xperia C and remove any sim or memory card, if connected.
2. Now, search for a small hole with "RESET" written below it.
3. Use a pen to press it. Hold it there for a minute. Then leave it and put the back cover back.
4. Charge your device for about 10 minutes.
5. If you do not follow the above steps, you won't be able to repair your device through PC Companion.(The update stops showing "Download error or error 1200). This is because your device still has MobileUncle Tools and unsupported Recovery image installed in it which does not allow the stock Recovery to be installed. When you reset by following the above method, only the stock apps are left in the device, deleting every other app.
6. Now download and install the latest Sony PC Companion from the official site, to your PC.
7. Open the PCC and click start in support zone. Let PCC download and install the required files.
8. In the next menu, select the software update option. Instead of clicking on install, select "Repair" device which is highlighted in blue.
9. Follow the steps until PCC starts to prepare your PC for software update.
10. In the device selection menu, select Sony Xperia C C2305 and click next.
11. When the next menu appears, disconnect any USB or multimedia drives attached to the PC. Now, first connect your original Sony USB cabel to the PC. Then, turn off your device(If the device is not turning off i.e. switching on after connecting the USB cable, read the instructions given at the end). Wait for five second. Press and hold volume down button of your device and connect the USB cable to your device. A green led appears on your device if the device is connected properly.
Note: If a continous red led appears instead of green, do not worry. Keep the device connected to PC intact for about 5 to 10 minutes. It will turn green. This is because, bricked devices take some time to be recognised.
12. Now the update process starts. If all the above steps are performed correctly, then surely the Device Software Update process completes without any errors or stopping in between.
13. Then click finish in the last menu after Device Software Update Completes.
14.Disconnect Xperia C from PC and press the Power button.
15. Xperia C boots up. Do not worry if your screen isn't the way it should be(e.g. whitish at the edges and the Sony Wave logo lagging). As this is the first boot-up after software update it takes sometime to recover to it's earlier charm. After about a minute or two, your device will be perfectly all right.
Note: The first boot-up takes some time(about 5 to 7 minutes).
16. So, this is it. You will have your Sony Xperia C perfectly working if you follow the above steps cautiously.
Hint for step no. 11: Follow this only if your device turns on after connecting the USB cable:
1. First, let the USB cable be connected the PC.
2. Force switch off your device by pressing Power + volume up buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds when it is stuck at Sony logo.
3. When the device turns off, immediately leave the two buttons and press and hold volume down button and connect the USB cable to the device, before the device turns on.
4. Now your device would be properly connected and the green led appears.
Hope this helps you. If you have any other queries regarding the same, please do inform.

3,Now open flashtool and click the flash icon then select flashmode then OK.
4,Now select your firmware from the list and if you don't want to lose your data just uncheck the box of wipe data in the top right corner.
5,click on "flash" and wait because it's preparing.
6,Then after this it will show you a window request to press the back bottom (the volume down bottom)
And connect your device, do it and Keep pressing until the window disappear.
7,Now the tool is flashing your phone DON'T touch the cable until it's finished.
8,when it's finished wait for 10 sec and unplug your device.

Hi. Can you give me more information what you did exactly step by step. So maybe i can help you. My E3 was bricked too. I found a solution. But i need more information.

Flash stock rom it'll unbrick it

Thank you answer back! I did exactly the following:
The model is my Xperia E3 D2212 dual sim.
- Unlocked the bootloader, :laugh:
- CWM installed a custom recovery, :laugh:
- I reinstalled the original rom, :laugh:
- I made a backup of the entire system using CWM.
And everything went super normal way, without complications.
The mistake was when he wanted to installing a custom ROM called "AOSP_L_MR1_150718_flamingo" because I found out later that he had not read that it was for ANOTHER XPERIA as follow the you tube tutorial . The ROM's for another Xperia, if I remember correctly.
After doing the installation process of the new AOSP ROM, the phone is less than a minute on the logo of SONY XPERIA down with, looped, can not enter the bootloader, and no longer recognizes the PC. I can not recognize it at FlashTool. I think that's all. :crying:
I greatly appreciate your attention.
I ended up editing this text in the google translator, then I'm sorry, if you are not very good.
Thank you

Could you help me? I can not make the pc recognize him ... He barely turns on and off since. The PC Companion software tells recognize it, but when you are installing the software says "it is not possible for this phone is changed." I can not scessar the bootloader does not give time and it shuts down.

Thanks, my error was with the fastboot driver and adb in flashtool. The Windows drivers wasn't been recognized, I've to install the drivers, all of they. After this, I Flashed the Stcok ROM, installed SuperSU and Restored the backup, everything works fine and fluid now. Thanks, anyway, for encouraging me.

I flashed my D2203 back to factory rom yesterday using Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php) on Windows 7 PC.
How did I do it:
1) Install flashtool
2) Install Flashtool-drivers.exe from flashtool subfolder /drivers and select flashmode and fastboot drivers.
3) Run Flashtool and open XperiFirm (letters XF on logo)
4) Select Xperia E3 Flamingo -> proper D22** you have -> Market -> and select latest release below PayPal logo
5) Press "Download" and wait for download and unpacking
6) Switch off phone (if power on/off button does not respond then open back cover and push "OFF" by using pen)
7) Press and hold volume down button and connect phone to PC using original USB cable
8) Using Flashmode flash device

tried flashing 7.0, XZ now bricked

Hey,
I tried flashing 7.0 using flashtool, I do have some successful previous experience with flashtool, but my phone now seems to be bricked.
Try booting the phone and I get software failed to update. I'm assuming it soft bricked.
Every time I plug it into the computer, it enters flash mode. So repairing vie xperia companion is a no go.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Flashtool is not 7.0 compatable yet. It should be soon.
If you want to repair with xperia companion or PCCompanion you need the phone in flashmode so that will work. Just go through the dialogues in companion to force a software repair.

Thank you.

As gregbradley suggested please use Sony companion SOFTWARE REPAIR tool and you will be fine.
Make sure that your phone is in FLASHMODE. Good luck

It would be nice to see the errors if you could upload them. Also, if your bootloader is unlocked PCCompanion or xperia companion will not work. You will need to use EMMA from Sony that works with unlocked bootloaders.

Is your bootloader still unlock ?
if yes you need to relock first then try repair again in companion, maybe fail at first time but it's will be sucsses, it's not bricked, just like me yesterday, and now i got locked bootloader on 7.0.

same problem.even the sony companion can't repair the phone. then i used flashtool to flash the previous version ftf and the phone is repaired. but still 6.0.1. by the way i didn't unlock the bootloader.
seens like the flashtool need an update too.

yes... exactly the same for me.. i need to reflash the central europe 1 ftf to make the phone work.... i try to flash the turkey 6.0.1 ftf to get the OTA 7.0 but not work... flashtool give me errors on "modem.sis" and "system.sis"..... or something like that.... but now its ok whit 6.0.1 .... i just wait now..... no rush for me

What about Xperia companion? it seems to be stuck with me as well. I go through all the steps and its stuck on "repairing your xperia device"

There's no real way to brick these devices unless you unlocked the bootloader. Just flash a 6.0 ROM and have it perform an OTA upgrade to 7.0. There's a Customized RU ftf floating around here.

I'm in 7.0, can I flash back to 6.0 ? Cuz 7.0 is currently incompatible with a game I used to play.

That's all you need to do... There is no onscreen flashmode GUI.
When flashtool prompts you to connect hold down the button and attach the cable.. it will happen automatically.
if you still have difficulties run drivers.exe from the flashtool folder and choose flashmode drivers.
