no... you can still brick your phone! I had a phone bootlooping at the SONY logo, could not revive with flashtool. So be careful!
Hit "Thanks" if I helped you, pleeez!

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

Click Flash, choose the firmware and check wipe Cache and wipe data.
If anything goes wrong User Sony Ericsson Update Service to unbrick your phone.

can you please give me drivers for tipo...please

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?

Well I have the green LED but PC COmpanion doesn't find the phone. So how can it be found and completly wiped. I don't want to root or unlock!
I get a driver error in the windows configuration manager but I have adb installed for my Nexus One. In flashtool there is a drivers exe but here there is no tipo in it and when I try to install the other two fastboot and flashmode I think I get an error, too.
So how can I completly wipe that thing with the companion as mentioned here in the thread.

Can you download adb driver from adbdriver.com and check if the phone is detected (green check)?

OK. but then. I don'T know what my Firmware (or is it 11.0.a.4.25 which is nowhere in the flashtool thread to be found) is on the phone and also want to format and clear everything whats on it. All internal data (pictures etc.)

You can also use flashtool. Pick any firmware you want. But its easier using pc companion - repair. Just make sure the drivers are installed and the phone detected. The same also applies for flashtool.

I think it's a hardware issue. Best thing is sending the device to Sony Repair Center.

Bootloop is normal after bootloader unlock, you need to flash the ftf rom there and then the FXP (kernel first) for example.

thanks for your answer, I already install flashtool drivers and since there, the phone in any mode says "USB device not recognized" before that I can put it in fastboot mode o just let it on and recognized like a storage device, now I'm searching gordons gate drivers I hope it works.

If gg gate drivers don't work try to go in fastboot mode and flash for example thunderzap kernel but before it put on your sd card a cm11 rom and flash it using recovery.
