Hi everyone, I think I might have bricked my Sony XPERIA L after I tried to partition my External SD card. After partitioning it to Fat32 and Ext4, I put back my SD card into my phone but after that my phone like never turned ON. Without being able to boot into bootloader, I can't flash stock firmwares. Seeing from all other threads that my phone might be dead, I came across something different today. I plugged in my phone (either to a PC or a Wall Charger) and a 'Light' Green LED was lit. Does it mean that I can do something to bring it back to normal usage?
p.s I love my Xperia L
Anyone, pliss?

Flashing via Flashtool didn't work.

first of all connect your phone to pc in flashmode via flashtool !
now it will ask you automatically to select phone model !!
ok if still your phone is not recognized in flashtool then go continue and click on THUNDER ICON and select flash mode !!
now here again it can ask you ur phone mode ..
still if your device is not recognized then go continue .. and flash with your phone with original stock.. now here again it will ask yor model number !!

I installed AVD Rom on my Rooted Xperia J with Locked Bootloader running on Stock ICS 11.0.A.7.5, after following all the instructions like Wiping The System Cache, the Dalvik Cache and the formatting /system. I was already at the instruction where I had to install the ROM itself It said it had a problem on the SDCard and I realized that the zip file of the rom was supposed to be placed in the ext_card, which i removed earlier before installing the ROM.
As a result I removed the battery Even with CWM On and after inserting the ext_card with the ROM I booted up and it stayed stuck in the SONY Logo and I was unable to enter CWM
I tried Reflashing the Stock ICS with Xperia Flasher but the phone won't even enter flashmode even if I am holding the Vol- button while connecting to PC all it says is Device Connected with USB debugging mode off. I tried to repair it with Sony PC Companion but it is also not detected by PC companion.
Please help guys I would really appreciate it. Thanks

There should be no reason for the phone not to go into flashmode is your battery charged?
Yes Sir, It boots up when I press a button and stays stuck at the SONY LogoI doesn't even enter recovery mode
Sir please help, All i can do now is rely on your instructions
Use pc companion and repair your phone
Sent from my ST23i
does fastboot mode work?
Download Sony Update Service and follow it's instruction to fix your phone.
For me it worked.
Charge your XJ's battery using an external battery charger! That happened to me also! I charged my battery and tried and flashmode as well as fastboot started to work

Your phone is hard bricked. Sony will replace it if under guarantee.
Reflash sony stock FW or the one from your operator, relock bootloader and try to send it to guarantee repair.
I can't reflash becouse i said only my pc recognizes in device manager unknown device can't use flashtools pc companion or sus becouse they don't detect my phone. So i think i going to send to repair :/

Hi, everyone, I'm new here but I've created a topic for anyone of you can help me.
My Xperial L stopped working after installing the new Cyanogenmod after restarted by CWM, the phone will not turn over, however, CWM lights still work, but when I press the volume buttons together, the lights go out and I can not open the CWM menu to make the recovery of the original ROM.
I tried another method, use fastboot to reinstall CWM, but my computer does not recognize the phone more.
Could anyone help me?

Did you unlock your bootloader before flashing?
Bang d thanks button above ☝✌
Yes. My device have:
Bootloader unlocked
Root
CMW
Overclock Thunderzap
32gb SDCard
The only problem is the entrance of usb cable of my device, he just recharge the device, he not work to do a boot.
The way I see is change the entrance try again, but now, I need find other way.
try to flash kernel that suits your ROM, connect your phone in fastboot mode and flash it with flastool

I am not a power user. However, It happened to me once. I did the following
1- Open the wmshua flash tools, select the ROM file.
2- Connect a usb.
3- Keep rebooting by holding volume down and Power.
I did not know how it worked for me but it did.
Good luck.

No, don't mess with the system if there isn't much support or development for it. I regret buying the C3 now because of the horrible camera quality and the fact that the lack of activity is clear. But, it's still a fast phone with good battery management so rooting won't help much.

Hi.. Have you got this problem solved? Cause i got the same now.. Please any help..

For me, I've encountered almost the same thing too when flashing my XperiaZ, here's how I fixed it:
Pre-1. To make sure your phone has enough battery left, when holding down the "VolUp" button, connect your phone to a charger. This charges your phone in fastboot mode. It will be slow.
1. In flashtool, open up flashmode, let it load the files (since its a system only flash, you don't need to tick anything) until it prompts you to connect your phone. If the phone is in a boot loop, hold down "Power + VolUp +VolDown" at the same time until it vibrates the hell out of it.
2. When the phone is switched off, hold down the "VolDown" button then quickly connect your phone to your computer. A green light should flash and the phone starts flashing.
3. If this doesn't work, tick the "Wipe Userdata" column so that it can wipe throughly.
Cheers!

Looks like I killed my Z5. The model is 6683 (Z5 dual), and I flashed with E6533 (Z3+ dual).
The phone is completely dead, cannot turn on, not vibrating on power button etc.
When I connect to my laptop, it says "unable to recognize USB device", in detail VID_0000&PID_0000.
But if I disconnect the battery, it recognized as "SOMC Flash device", VID_0FCE&PID_DDDE
Is it possible to resurrect it?
I hope if I can flash with correct bootloader in this state, it will enought to boot up and able to flash with the right firmware.

Are you able to connect it in flashmode and fastboot ?
With battery, no.
Without battery, my laptop recognize as "SOMC Flash device", but no tool can connect to it (like FlashTool).
(I think then different PID is the reason)

it seems to me that you are an advanced person in playing with your mobile, this kind of issues is beyond of my knowledge but I was replying to your thread hopefully someone here can help, I'm fearing that you have messed up with your mobile
Well, you could try to flash it from Ubuntu (NOT inside Windows 10 !) via FlashTool,
under windows there are limitations with different device IDs that separate drivers would be needed (and if only "wrong" ID is detected under Linux it doesn't really matter, since it's detected anyway),
perhaps under Linux operating systems you have more luck
Thank you for idea, but not working.
Finally I found an old SETool3 box , and successfully flashed with it without battery
Somehow it can fixed it.

wrong flash means wrong kernel!
you might be stuck on black screen when you frist switchon device! the device is running! but since its stuck on bootloops no interface is open!
press power and volume up button for 15+ seconds and let it JERK 3 times , this if force shutdown. the device should get connected now in flashmode
