[HELP]Xperia J BRICK

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

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

[Xperia J] Flash Mode + Fastboot = 'USB Device Not Recognized'

Hello Everyone, So i have a Sony Xperia J Unlocked Boot Loader + Custom MIUI Rom, I wanted to go back to stock rom, but when i use flashtool and place my device on flashmode a green LED indicates on my device like usual but on my pc screen it says ' USB Device not Recognized' so now i can't flash stock ftf, is there any other way to get to stock rom or any way to resolve this problem?
(I have a 64-Bit Windows 8.1 Laptop)

First select ftf that you want to flash on Flashtool, wait for pop-up window that tells to connect your phone than connect your phone. If you have drivers installed and disabled drivers verification it should work.
Good Luck

Thank you for your time & for looking into my case, However i've managed to solve the issue, It was due to a fault Data Sync Cable I simply used the one for my S4 and it worked as normal.

Hard Bricked? Can't power on or get to flash mode, QHSUSB_BULK

Hey guys, so I was updating to latest Kitkat firmware OTA and the android guy with the red exclamation point appeared and boot looped.
So, I used Flashtool to correct this and... the phone died.
Can't power on, doesn't vibrate, no SONY logo, no LED blinking, nothing.
Windows installs drivers for QHSUSB_BULK and that's it.
In device manager it appears as SOMC Flash Device anda flashtool detects it but, I can't do anything about it.
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
That's what I get.
From searching around I think the boot partition is gone (?)
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm completly stuck here.

Did you try to turn it off with reset by the sim card? Then hold volume down (- button) connect to usb and flash ftf.
Good Luck.

It probably (hopefully) got stuck. Try to (soft) reset it. There is a very small button next to the SIM card slot. You would need a needle or something that small to push it. If that doesn't work I am afraid it would be better to take it to Sony assistance.

I've been using that button since forever...
Do you think it's related to the loader partition or something?

Maybe you ran out of battery? Does your phone charger when you plug in? Also try different usb, reboot your pc then try again. I had softbrick my phones few times but always fix it with Flashtool.
Press power off button (small one by the sim) and leave the phone, Open Flashtool, select ftf wait for the popup dialogue, press volume down, connet phone to usb. This is proces i always do.
Good Luck.

Boot Loop may be a problem
If your device get disconnected every 5-7 seconds than it is a bootloop which is not showing on screen but you can observe it in device manager
And you have to try different key combination to stop that boot loop while flashing

Dead M2 after 5.1.1 Update

Hello
I wanted to update my Xperia M2(Kitkat ->Lollipop). Well Something went wrong and i had red light and Image with dead Android.
I was a little scared but i decided to flash new Rom with flashtool. I did it many times on my old Xperia P(Great phone ;p). Well after finished and successful update( No error in Flashtool ) i wanted to turn on my Xperia and ... it's brick, No lights, Reset Button and Power button don't work. I tried PC Companion repair too, can't use flashmode (Volume - doesn't work).
Computer sometimes doesn't recognise my M2.
1. Debbuging USB is off, i suppose
2. Unkown applications off
Flashtool 18.5
PC Companion the newest update
Please Help me , I'm reallly desperate. Phone was new and a bit expensive .

There is a hole near the sim card slot, try to press the button in the hole with something sharp and retry to put your phone in flashmode. I hope this will help you

Sorry, dont work for me . It doesnt't start . Maybe battery is down? When i started flashing , it had only 30%

Should always make sure you have plenty of charge in the battery that's why ota updates don't work with less than 50% battery life. Have you tried leaving it charging overnight without touching it.

///// EDDITED//////
Wel, i have little news. Baterry is full (3.7V i checked it ) but on Output It's 0. Something Block it in battery.
Can I reset this **** or something?
(Turn on Volume -dont work , OFF- Dont work)

If I recall correctly, Vol- is for Fastboot, Vol+ for Flashmode.
Try to re-flash your correct .ftf (M2 Dual -> D2302, M2 -> D2303, M2 Aqua -> D2304). First, try without wipe Cache/Data (in Flashtool -> Flashmode), but check "Reset customizations" (if it's fail, check "No final verification" too). Recommend fw is 18.3.1.(whatever).1.17 (KitKat 4.4.4), what you can easily root.
EDIT:
Before you connect your M2 to PC, use a sharp pin to turn off your phone (tiny hole next to the SIM card).

Flashmode = volume down (-) green light blink
Fastboot = volume up (+) blue light

Same pro
I flashed new lollipop ftf using FlashTool and forgot to exclude SIMLOCK.ta.
Although I have working android, there is no SIM and also I am not able to flash any new recovery or boot.img .
I ihave downgraded to KK and JB but had the same problem. when I check the unlock status it is:
Rooting Status: Unknown.
also for sim properties I have:
[ ] Network 0
[ ]Network Subset 0
[ ]Service Provider 0
[ ]Corporate 0
[ ]SIM 0
Some one knows the solution?

Well, If I could flash my M2 , It was wonderfull ;p, but my Xperia is dead. I cant use flashmode or fastboot. Secret Reset button doesnt work too ;p . First My Xperia must be alive , soon flash kit kat ;p. But I Dont know how to rescue my dead Xperia. And This 's my Problem.

Without flashmode or fastboot don't think there is much you can do try reading this thread

I have hard bricked a Xperia M2. Help please.

I think I was not suppose to do a full factory reset and then flash Cyncyanogen 12.1. Can this phone still be fixed?

I should have realised that I could not flash non stock custom ROMS when my device cannot be unlocked. I should have downloaded Z5 style in Android development.
