Dear Friends,
I am Arindom Samajdar from India. Though I did not have any theoretical learning over android programming, I got a lot of helps & knowledge from XDA Threads on this specially on rooting of android phones. And truly speaking from following the guides of this forum I really rotted my Xperia SP (C5302) successfully about 6 months before and installed CM11 Rom via CWM recovery mode in it.
I was using it flawlessly till 10 days back also. But 10 days before I planned to roll back it to its stock Sony Rom as I was planning to sell it & get a new phone.
But at this time I did not studied mutch & simply started to flash the .tft file of the stock rom which I had prepared long back by the help of Flashtool, when I was rooting my device first. But this time during flashing the file there gone something very wrong and the flashing could not completed over night also & unfortunately during this process battery of my phone drained out & the flashing interrupted. When I checked my phone in morning, I found that it is in switch off condition. When I connected it to charger, first it shows bright green light in its notification light (like it gives while connecting in Flash mode), after 1 or 2 mins it gives Red light with SONY logo in its screen & stayed as it is for another 1 or 2 mins. Then again green light and after some time again red light with SONY logo. And continues this loop. While I tried to switch it on it just vibrate & gives SONY logo on screen, nothing else & after some times goes off.
After several studies over the websites & XDA forums, I understood that there was a error occurred while flashing Kernel. But when I tried to fix it by the methods suggested over the webpages, I got nothing to work for my device as for every process (be it by Flash Tool or by CMD window of windows) the flashing is not being started at all while I am trying to flash the Kernel & after an hour also when I am disconnecting my phone, CMD or Flash tool is showing error of Flash failure & stating it as "Too many Links". I can't understand what this meant to.
My device being connected with PC via Flash Tool both in Flashmode & Fast Boot mode, that means my device is only soft bricked & I am sure that there must be some way to get it back working.
Please help me guys..

Hi Friend, Thanks for your reply. But my issue is not with the ftf file. I am having the ftf file. My issue is flashing of the same.
Whenever I am trying to flash the ftf file it does not go beyond "Flashing Data" stage. And when I try to flash only Kernel, it does not starts yet.

i have a x10 mini pro and it got bricked.
i tried out every single procedure i could find on the internet. But still, i could not unbrick the phone.
The current status of my phone is , when i start it, it briefly vibrates then a blank screen appears for 5seconds. Then nothing for another 5 seconds, then the blank screen again... its the blank screen loop.
I dont see any Sony Ericsson logo or NAA kernel Logo.
The phone was running of
1. Naa Kernel v10,
2. cm7 1.9
3. unlocked boot loader
Things i tried:
1. Flashing stock rom and all other roms using flash tool.
2. Flashing Naa kernel v11.
3. Repair my phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
4. Hard Reset.
5. Disassembled the device and the screen cables are good.
The adb does not recognize my phone, the flash tool recognizes my phone, but the PC Companion does not. When i select the Support Tool in the PC Companion and repair my phone, the PC Companion re-installs the Stock ROM successfully.
But still, i am stuck in the blank screen loop.
I had PMed this scenario to some experienced devs here in XDA.... and got replies too.... that didnt help again....
Please do help.
Thanks in advance.
It seems to be a hardware problem and not a brick.....
thanks to @leajian for the advice....
Thats a relief..... will give the device to the service center and see.....

I've bricked my SGS2 loads of times just by flashing roms, I just flash a stock rom back and start again then use my jig - that resolves bricking
Yup...
i did the flashing like 100 times....
restored the phone with pc companion another 100 times...
still the same thing..... blank screen loop.....
Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.
Plz help .. Thanks in Advance
Try using flash tool!
and flash stock ftf through that.....

Hi
I confirm, just had the same problem while updating a custom ROM.
Get the Stock ftf file for your phone/model then use Flashtool to flash it.
Search the forum for the proper links there are likely to be all there somewhere
Hopefully, your phone will be back to life on a stock version.
And yes, if you want to re-install a custom ROM you need to re-do all the process: root, (optional) unlock Bootloader etc.
Good luck.
PS: I saw a thread saying to use the SEUS to restore the phone to stock. Worth a try but for me it didn't work since SEUS was telling my phone already had the latest version. Fix hard bricked ray
Hi everyone, I've got a Sony d2305. I've got also a problem: I flashed the incorrect rom on this device and, after the boot, I began seeing a black and yellow screen with a red warning saying "Mismatch!!" and below: Model [eagle_lte] and Software[eagle_ss]. I'm keeping seeing even now that I flashed the correct rom over it. The weird thing is that sometimes if I turn my phone in landscape mode when this warning is showing you can see the normal working Android below it! So I'm here to ask if there's a way (Cwm, flashtool or other tools) to completely delete all the stuff I've in my phone and then put again my CWM and from there install zips of roms. Thank you for answering
-a desperate noob :crying:
Use flashtools and install correct ftf for your phone model. Everything should be fixed after that.
I had rooted my xzu with no prblms....had been using it gor a week had even upgraded to lolipop. Then when i tried to flash my device with a custom rom it did not start again. When i press the power button all it does was vibrate. No led indication light blinking no screen nthng just vibrated. I even tried to recover through s1 tool by following some posts on the forum. For that i had to disassemble my xzu to use the test point. But trying to flash it with xzu ftf it gave error ' resource msm 8274 rom error' i then downloaded s1tool frm a different link then it gave me error hardware not detected. What shud i do to start my phone again, is there any other method to start it

Hi, I'm a noob to this site and is my last call of action ive tried everything to get my phone working but I'm at a lost end now and getting frustrated.
If anyone can help me with my problem it will be much appreciated and a lot of pressure taken off me. to start with I towel rooted my xperia sp (c5303) which gave me root. I then installed a recovery called philz which worked great. installed lollipop all fine booted up but no data signal bar had explanation mark. I tried the data fix through recovery did not work so I thought il flash my device again to see if it rectifies my problem so I deleted all data cache delvic cache chose the file off sd card that I previously used but this time I got an error. and the phone just restarted . so I assume there is nothing on my phone now no firmware as it turns on comes up with the sony logo but hangs after a minute or so my phone turns its self off. I plug my phone into pc usb and the lightbar turns green at the bottom then after 40 seconds goes red with the sony logo again then after a minute reboots to green and so on in a boot loop state. I have tried flashing my phone to stock with flashtools but it gets so far then gives error that I don't have usb debugging and unknown sources enabled. I cant have them enabled as I cant access my phone. I have gone into flash tool drivers folder downloaded flashmode drivers and fastboot and viskan board it starts to install them comes up with welcome to device driver installation . sony(winusb) says failed. Google inc (winusb) says failed sony ericsson mobile communication says failed I assume it cant see my phone. I just don't understand what to do next.
If any body has had this problem could you please shed a little light, Thanks for taking time out to read this.
