Bricked x10

Hi, first of all, i know there are lots of post about bricked phones, trust me, i've seen most of them but none of it helped me and i am kind of fraking out. I got a Sony x10 a few weeks ago and I loved it. I upgraded it to Andoird 2.3.3, rooted it, installed xRecovery, etc. But yesterday I tried to install Android ICS, for that I had to unlock bootloader. Read a lot of post and started, and finally used a method which uses kernel downgrade, a batch program and the kernel upgrade, but guess what, it didn't work, couldn't flash kernel upgrade after all. What freaks me out is that I can't install any ftf either, flashtools keeps showing ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed". Tried using update service, tried with many ftf files and flashtools. Nothing happens. Phone just vibrates a little bit longer than normal when I turn it on and nothing else. It also turn the green led on when connecting to the charger and flash mode seems to work.
I am desperate, I had to do a lot to get a phone like this and now it doesn't even boot with the SE logo. Thanks and I hope someone has the solution.
I forgot to put this:

complete log, saved when trying to flash stock 2.3.3 firmware

That one should be easy to solve When you choose an ftf file to flash in firmware selection window you have to check "No final verification". That worked for me
P.S. also try to post your threads in the right section

brick
u must try another flash tool the older version

U read a lots, but why didnt u unlock using flashtool plugins? It's easier.

Aplication has stopped after installing Project Desire One

Hello.
Today i tried to flash soundmod Project Desire One, The Evolution. Downloaded package from HERE, reboot into recovery, use TWRP to flash this and clear dalvik + cache. After this I get app "My Xperia" stopped and it was showing all the time. I did factory reset on my phone and then i come up with this : LINK DO PICTURE. What i can do ? PC Companion says that I can't repair this phone. I can't use adb, cause phone is after factory reset. I tried be faster than pop-out, but it's impossible.
What should I do ?

Try to ask in this thread maybe someone will help you cause it seems flashtool need an update for the script thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

I recently updated my FT to 9.19.10 and now when I'm tryin to flash E6633 it stops all the time at "Start Dumping TA partition 1". I'll wait for answer in theyr thread.

Make sure to read the OP cause any mistake can brick your phone.

OK, uninstalled Flashtool with deleting files from C:/Users/xxx/.FlashTool then downloaded 0.9.19.8 and patched it to 0.9.19.10. Flashtool started normally and I sucessful flashed ROM and kernel.
Phone is working now well. Thank's for help

Good to hear.

No WiFi for any custom ROM, recovery issues and can't get back to stock firmware

Ok guys, so, let me tell you two things before I start. 1: sorry if my English might sound weird, not a native speaker. 2: I've read almost every thread in the whole internet about this sort of issue, but none seem to have the solution for my case.
I wanted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia L to unlock its true potential, but I noticed that I can't get Wi-Fi to work on ANY of all the roms I tried (Resurrection Remix, CM11 and three different builds of CM12 and 12.1). From what I read here, it looks like that if I restore the latest version of my stock firmware - seems like the one I had before modding wasn't the latest - I'll be able to get wifi to work, even if I install a custom rom.
The problem is that I just can't restore the .ftf. I'm using Flashtool 0.9.19.8 - I would like to avoid installing the whole bunch of android.sdk stuff (of course, unless it's strictly necessary) - and everytime I try to flash it, I get this:

I'm starting to get crazy.
Also, I have another problem, which is not strictly related to this one but I would like to solve.
I flashed TWRP recovery 3.0.0. And it gives me problems of every sort.
When I flash it from Flashtool and then unplog the usb cable and turn on the phone it boots, but the screen flickers as hell and everytime the left and the right half of the screen invert, so sometimes I even press the wrong buttons.
Then, when I try to boot the phone in recovery mode it just bootloops, it freezes at the Teamwin Recovery boot screen. So everytime I need to use recovery I just have to remove the battery, put it in again and flash boot.img again from Flashtool.
I tried to flash other recoveries (Philz and CWM) over it, but I just can't. I'm stuck with TWRP 3.0.0. I don't know how to do it.
I'm starting to get desperate here. I modded Samsung and Nexus devices until now, I never knew that modding Xperia could be so damn tricky. Please, help me!!
I'm very thankful to all of you who will be so kind to help me get out of this situation and even to those that will just try to answer.
________________________________________________
UPDATE:
I managed to switch to CWM recovery 6.0 but actually I can't install any rom, I get installation aborted. I suppose the recovery has no compatibility with the roms I try to install. I returned to TWRP, even if it flickers and can't boot properly at least I can flash a rom.
I tried to change the .ftf, the one I tried before wasn't actually the latest. But the problem remains the same, same log, flashing aborted.
And obviously, still no wifi. I'm desperate. I dunno what to do.

Wait a second, 15.0.A.2.17 isn't the newest version. It's 15.3.A.1.17.
I'm not sure if it will change anything, but get an FTF of that version and try again.
For your recovery: TWRP is known for flickering on our device. Try the TWRP FOTA-Recovery, I'm using that and there are no flickers. Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/app-recoveries-recovery-installer-t3187915 - install the app and choose TWRP, it will install and work

Thank you for answering but I finally solved it on my own, I was gonna update my thread right before you answered! You are right, the latest one is the one you mentioned! I found it out on my own but even that couldn't solve my problem
Than I tried to install an older version of flashtool (0.9.11.0) instead of using the most recent, and that did the whole thing! I could flash the stock rom and it worked! And, somehow, that allowed me to install any custom rom and any ROM I want I'm currently running Philz recovery and CM12.1!!
Thank you a lot for answering, anyway!!
You can mark the thread as [SOLVED] now, I hope this helps all the people who shared my situation - that is, a lot of people, I guess...

Happy it worked out for you

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..

What i need to do for flash MM or unlock the bootloader?

You don't need to downgrade to MM to install 8.0 and to unlock your bootloader go to the Sony website and follow the instructions but don't forget to backup your TA partition first you will need to search XDA to see how to do that.

You need to downgrade to MM to backup TA partition thou.
Error is "No flash script".
Did you press no when the prompt come out?
If you download from Xperia firm, you need to redownload it again, then exit, flashtool will ask to run the script or not, press yes.

got the same problem. can anybody help? cant do TA Backup otherwise.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...-flashtool-t3525167/post70239473#post70239473
this solution for people trying to get Android 7 worked for me, getting the flash script for MM!

Are you using the last flashtools version (0.9.23.2)? The best firmware to backup your TA keys is 39.0.A.1.250.... The firmware that are you trying to flash is not able to make your TA backup. After that you must unlock the bootloader with flashtools ( the app send you the sony site with tutorial ). After that you should be able to flash the Android 8 images. It's better flash Twrp too... I hope helped you.
