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.

Here's what happened-
I downloaded a new ROM for my x10 mini pro and i did a factory restore via CWM then i selected install zip for SD card and selected MINICM7 2.1.6 after that the installation began. I did not flash my phone. after that i got a message. Kernel nAa something like that not found and it proceeded with installation.
Then when my phone restarted It got stuck at the SE logo. I cannot get into CWM menu. or do a reset(Power + home). Then Connected my phone to my PC over the USB. it showed a unmounted drive and told me to mount it via the phone. But, I cannot do so as I can do absolutely nothing with the phone. I pulled off the battery and then connected it while pressing the back key a greed light lit up. And my phone said -"Connected to Sony ericsson phone" (without showing the model). Soon the green light disappeared by itself and my PC connection broke too. I tried several times but the same thing happened. I tired looking for SEUS for x10 mini pro- But. the SE site told me that the software wasn't available for my phone . PLZ I really need your experience and help. PLZ help. I greatly appreciate it.

I am a new user and can't post links but Google what alexyaz said to help guide you through, search something like hot to access abd to install ROM. also if you need your original software Google search the model of your phone with stock ROM.
Once you fix it due try to read all directions a few times when implementing a new ROM to make sure you don't get any unneeded errors

Try flashing the stock rom, it worked for me!!!!!!
the same thing hapenned to me too
Okay so I seem to have soft bricked my Xperia J too
Only this time I can't seem to get into Flash mode or Recovery mode!
Holding/Pressing Vol+ doesn't bring up the blue LED and the phone doesn't vibrate at all.
Likewise for Vol+. Nothing happens and the phone remains stuck on the Sony boot logo.
Any idea what I could do? (USB isn't recognised on PC either so I can't connect that way.)
Edit: Okay scratch that, randomly button mashing Volume DOWN seemed to work for me. Only took about 50 or so reboots
Sony`s PC Companion can repair Boot Up problems after CWM install faild
Just watch this video on youtube and follow exactly the description on your PC Companion. Just search for this video on youtube "How to fix a (soft) bricked Sony Xperia Play( any Xperia )EASY METHOD, when stuck on the Sony logo"
Wanted to post the Link but it`s not allowed before posted at last ten contributions - sorry for that (XDA rules!)
This will fix all Xperia Models - it works so easy and pretty fast (about 20 minutes) and after that you have a phone just like brand new from the dealer with the latest software rolled out for your device in your country - sweet
Pls help me S1 fastboot prblm

My phone is not detected due to the driver problem !
Cannot get into fastboot mode !
I use Windows 7 32bit ..... the s1fastboot driver is not getting installed correctly !!
Why bother with Fastboot mode, use flashmode or SEUS to Repair ur phone....
I know this has been asked a lot, but i literally tried everything.
i have a sony xperia s, no SD card. rooted on jelly bean firmware 6.2.B.0.211 using Doomlord root kit, after playing with some tweaks, i rebooted the phone so they will take effect, the phone is now stuck in a boot loop... TRIED EVERYTHING, deleted the cache, system, data, tried the sony update, flashtools, installing custom ROM or flashing the same one. the problem is, when i'm trying to put the phone in flashmode or fastboot mode, the sony logo appears after 5 seconds, showing "device disconnected" on flashtools. thus i can't ( i think) use it. i really dont know what to do here, i've been looking all over the internet for anything to do...tried everything i have read, but to no use. can anyone PLEASE help me.
Cant connect via usb fastboot then very less hope...
Contact sony costumer care....

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, thank you for using XDA Assist. See if this helps, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708815 Also, maybe this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
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.
