[Q] [HELP] Xperia J BRICK

Greetings,
After deciding to install AVD Rom on my Rooted Xperia J with Locked Bootloader I was already at CWM Followed all the stepsI wiped the Cache the dalvik cache and the /systemwhen i Was at the part where you choose the ZIP file of the rom It said Error mounting the /sdcard/ I realized you need to put the rom in an external sd card. I pulled out the battery with CWM on to put the sd cardand when I opened it, it stays stuck at SONY Logo and I can't even open CWM anymore
I tried flashing Stock ICS With Xperia Flasher but it won't even connect to Flashmode and all it says is Device Connected with USB Debugging ofPlease help me guys I am so sorry for how I am so nooby at these stuff please help

Try to flash with another version of flashtool...or just repair via pc companion...
If all else fails,u will have to unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel

I have Xperia Flasher but it won't get detected and PC companion won't detect it too. Can you give me alink to the flashtool you were saying

Dude the one and only Xperia flasher is androxyde...just Google it and go to github...then there you'll see many versions of flashtool...try one after other..and have you installed fastboot and flashmode drivers if flashtool??
Thank me if I helped you...

Hello fonetalker 101,
I faced the exact same problem with my Xperia E, I got stuck in a bootloop, and began to panick. So I know what demons you are facing
You can try a few options:
1. As mathewsj114 says you can try an older version of flashtool. And make sure that you have the Flashtool and Fastbootdrivers installed!
2. Install Sony Update Service. You can download it here: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/. Just install, run and select your phone model, then follow the instructions onscreen.
3. You said PC companion wasn't working? That's ashame!
4. If nothing works, try another computer!!! That's how I fixed my bootloop, my friend used Sony Update Service on his computer, and with him it worked! My personal experience is that SUS and Flashtool have some tiny bugs in Windows XP/Vista.
Hope I helped. Have a nice day and goodluck!

[Q] Xperia L brick dead

hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome

Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome

ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!

Just flash a custom kernel first then boot into CWM and then flash a SuperSU.zip from the recovery.. It will directly root your phone..
Here is the link for the Zip file..http://download.chainfire.eu/204

I think your phone just died. Stock flashtools are dangerous because these apps re-flash boot, partitions, system, and (sometimes) even a bootloader. If I remember well there was another user with the same problem. And no one was able to help him.

find somebody who knows how to use jtag.. by jtag u can fix d motherboard wic fill fix d brick

Hello, I understand your phone is still possible to connect in fastboot mode, then the solution is to flash a custom kernel in this way, make a full wipe, and install a custom rom. But he said this is only possible if you have unlocked bootloader, otherwise you'll have a hardbrick
