[Q] [J] Bricked phone. Please help. Desperate.

I installed FXP CM10 earlier on my phone, then was unable to flash any stock FTFs. Below was the response from the flash tool.

Then I thought I could use the stock based roms and installed Dark Moon AVD Rom 4.1.2 using the CWM recovery. The instructions included the flashing of the kernel which again I was not able to do, the flashtool responded the same way. Now I don't know what to do with my phone. Please help. When I charge my phone now and press the power button once I can see the battery logo but when I try to turn on, the orange led blinks once and then nothing happens. Thanks in advance.

Check my thread in general section " SOLVED All Drivers Problems of Xperia L". If you think the drivers are installed perfectly, then you should try to flash FTF file via flashtool (by bin4ry+androxyde). Make sure you select the right FTF file.
If you still have questions or problems, ask me away! I got exam tomorrow so I will explain you in detail on Saturday!
Good Luck
THIS IS SOMETHING HOW MY LOG LOOKS WHICH I FLASHED NOW!

First of all, sorry for the delay! I had been busy!
Your log seems fine! Nothing wrong with it except it hangs!
For driver, do this. Boot your phone into fastboot(instructions below) and connect it with your PC on administrator account . Don't open Flashtool just yet. See if your windows is searching for any drivers or gives you any notification like, new driver found! If it shows in USB connectivity, android device connected or Adb or anything like that with a green TICK, you are good. If there is any exclamation mark, if means it has to do with your drivers! Reinstall drivers again!
Okay firstly, tell me if you got custom recovery or custom kernel on your phone ? Or there is any modification you have done lately!
Secondly, are you choosing the RIGHT FILE in flashtool. A default file is present in flashtool which is for Xperia X10. So I hope you are not doing that.
Next, are you booting correctly in fastboot mode by
turning off the phone
disconnect it from PC
hold volume down and connect it to PC when it asks you to connect your phone!
Suppose above doesnot work, you can CHECK only system+kernel in flashtool for FTF you are selecting. Make sure you also check wipe data and factory reset/dalvik as well. Even try just kernel !
If this doesnot work, download a NEW FTF file and make sure it's downloaded properly. Sometimes corrupted files show this sort of behaviour!
RUN FLASHTOOL via administrator and I hope NO program is blocking it! Do you get a pop up to enable it or anything?
Try changing the cable , sometimes it also helps! i remember I had a delay of five minutes when I used a Nokia cable to flash Sony phone! (It was one time only, I always have been using Nokia cable for flashing/debugging all my phones )
Try all these again and see if that helps, If still it doesnot help, send me your new LOG and any background you think would be necessary!
Good Luck!

Haha no need to apologize! =P Thank for your help!
When I connect the device on fastboot mode, apeears a device called "S1Boot Fastboot" with a green tick, so I think the drivers are ok.
I tried to flash the following roms with the flashtool:
- iOS 7 Style ROM for XL 4.2.2
- OI Gaming OS v.1.8.305
- C2104_15.3.A.0.26_WORLD-A
And the following kernels:
- Kernel_Vengeance_TaoShan
- ThunderZap-3.1-Ultra
- Extended_Stock_Kernel_v5
- Phantom v4.5
Now, I'm with the C2104_15.3.A.0.26_WORLD-A, that I flashed through CWM, but without simcard, bluetooth, wifi and FM. :crying:
lol I'm choosin the right file on flashtool... haha
I already tried to flash just one item a time, but the larger files (like the system) don't flash, happen like the log that I posted.
When I open the flashtools, windows ask me for Administrator rights, i always click "Yes".
The cable that I use is the Sony Original, the same that I use to flash roms in my Xperia S, and with the S I've never had problem... .-.

[Q] Help Me, already spent almost 3 weeks for my bricked Xperia S

Hi everyone, thanks for reading my post.
im hving this problem : my Xperia S is bricked
Its started after i finished updating it to JB. It was a succesfull but the phone wont boot up. the phone have the backlight but the sony logo didnt came out. it was about 1 minute(i think) before it die(off).
ive tried all of the tutorial i found(all in xda forum n some of googled) and some ways that others find it usefull but not for me. ive tried flashing stock roms, tried flashing different kernel, hard reset, rubber band trick. it just not working.
this is how my phone now ;
1. if i press the power button(no matter how long), nothing happens.
2. if i connect it to wall charger, red solid LED will keep lighting(hope u understand my word), about 5 minutes, it will turn on itself and will stuck at backlight without the sony logo. then, die again. and will hv red LED again. this cycle will just continue.
3. if i connect it to pc, pc wont recognised the phone and the same thing willl happen(a cycle like in number 2)
4. when the backlight(without sony logo that will never came out) is lighting, i can do soft reset and hard reset.
5. if i do soft reset, the phone will restart automatically just after i release the power button after 1 buzz. and it will be in backlighting again untill it dies(off)
6. if i do hard reset, the phone will be off. (hard reset situation continue for number 7 and 8)
7. if i press the power button(after hard reset) it will be in backlighting again untill it dies(off)
8. in this situation, i can connect it to pc in either flashmode or fastboot mode. pc can recognize my phone and i can do flashing anything through flashmode and fastboot mode.
9. but after flashed some stock rom, the phone will be like mentioned in number 5.
10. i failed to flash custom kernel because the phone is not rooted.
thats it.
some info about my phone ;
1. not rooted
2. unlocked bootloader
my questions ;
1. i can flash other ftf roms( ics n jb), but i dont know either i really success flashing or no, please do check the flashtool log i attached. so, did i really success flashing?
2. can i root the phone in either flashmode or fastboot mode?
3. whats else cn i try to make my xperia s lt26i worked again?
thank for u reading this quite long post. im new in posting, but i really hv done many things with my charming xperia ray before using some knowledge gathered here in xda. hope anyone cloud help me. thanks

Are you clearing caches and data when using the flashtool? And how did you update to JB?

I am here to help....
my uncle has xperia sp.... it was also bricked and even worse as you told....
NOW READ CAREFULLY-
1. AS YOU SAID YOU HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BUT NO ROOT.... DOESN'T MATTER.
JUST FLASH ANDROID 4.1.2 IN YOUR SP. ( you will still be having problems as you told in point 5, okay)
2. FLASHING THIS OLD BUT STOCK VERSION WILL LET YOUR DEVICE TO GET A LATEST UPDATE THROUGH OFFICIAL SONY
SOFTWARE. ( it will automatically fix all errors as per my xperience) IF 4.1.2 IS LATEST THEN FLASH 4.0.4. YOUR DEVICE HAS TO GET ANY OFFICIAL FIRMWARE FROM OFFICIAL SONY SOFTWARE TO FIX PROBLEMS..
3. NEVER FLASH CUSTOM ROMS AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME PROBLEMS.... EITHER THE CUSTOM ROM WOULD BE THE BEST THAN OFFICIAL SONY OR WORST THAN THAT..... SO IT IS BETTER TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND HAVE STOCK ROM WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND ROOT.
4. NOW YOU MUST NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL... IF STILL THERE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.... EMAIL ME AT [email protected] OR MSG ON XDA..
BY THE WAY I HAVE XPERIA Z AND WITH UNLOCKED BL AND ROOT ON ANDROID 4.3... DON'T TAKE ME TO BE A MANIAC JUST POSTING AROUND IDIOTIC STUFF... JUST CONTACT ME...
#### REMEMBER NEXT TIME IF YOU STILL WANNA HAVE A CUSTOM ROM JUST GET A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE####

When it says end flash session try reconnecting it in flash mode.
Sent from my taoshan using XDA Free mobile app

Try lock bootloader and then flash .ftf file

I've deleted my phones OS. Please help if you can.

Hello,
I've rooted phones before and never had a problem.
Following the guide on here, I installed TWRP and proceeded to root, I must have taken my eye of the ball as TWRP is saying that no OS is installed. When I reboot I just get a Sony logo.
I managed to locate a stock UK rom in .ftf format but cant install it as flashtool doesnt see it.
Can anyone point me to a zip that I could install through TWRP?
With maybe a few helpful pointers
OR if you could tell me how best to reload the firmware.
Thanks.
Just to add, this is the F3111

First off you might want to take a look at this guide. Just make sure you're following the steps.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614
If you still have trouble then reply and I'll try help find an alternative

Thankyou, Ive just follewed that guide but its still the same..
Ive been working on this for hours and have come a little closer.
Downloaded a folder from Xperifirm, I cannot convert this into a ftf as when I select to point flash tool to it, it doesnt see it.
I also downlaoded the TFT firmware file from an xperia website but that starts off the flashing process by sayin this ;

This all happens in seconds, then it just sits there..
I only wanted to root it to get a sound boost, feel like a bit of a clown now.

Also just to add that in order to get it to attempt to flash I have to use version 09.18 of flashtool as the latest version only sees the ftf file as 'xperia' and will not attempt to flash it.

Forget everything I said.
It's sorted, after a day of headache I spotted the little blue arrow on flash tool that allows you to expand the folder structure., that then enables you to point to the firmware file.
I dont have root, but that can wait for another day..
Cheerio
