Seems like your battery is drained, maybe you should let it charge few hours.
If won't work, then your battery is dead

you have to press repeatedly vol- button after you feel the phone vibration when starting up the same.
and then you can enter into cwm ,

[SOLVED] Serious help please :( I think I bricked my Xperia Tipo

Hi I don't know what to do anymore :S I'm pretty scared........
I can enter the CWM recovery, but when I turn it on 'normally' a pink light appears on top right corner (and the 3 buttons under glass are colored white). After a little they turn off. Then the green light stays on when I have cable connected. When I pull it out, it goes off.
1. My CWM is v6.0.2.8
2. Whenever I try to mount USB storage, my PC won't react anymore
3. I tried several different roms, the USB storage problem started when I tried Paradox V1 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209026)
* In this mod's installation instructions it said "NOTE-- If CWM asks to Disable Recovery flash at the time U click on reboot than Scroll down and press Go back. Remember it or you will get com.android.media stopped working."
4. I have accidentally clicked on "Disable Recovery flash" :S am I really screwed?
5. I only have 1 stock rom on the phone right now "Gimlo Stock Firmware v0.2 for Tipo" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123835)
Can I do anything to save this phone? Please somebody help me out, I am constantly checking this thread and I hope someone finds time to reply :S
Thanks

Hi I'm new to this, can you please explain how do I exactly flash a kernel or stock? And one that is compatible for Tipo :S I'm not sure which one to pick..? Is there a thread I should be looking into because I really have no idea, I'm searching like crazy right now!
And yes I can enter fastboot or flashmode, I really need to get this phone back to normal
Thanks

Now I found this, and I am downloading "GENERIC 11.0.A.4.22" FTF firmware. Do I need any specific driver installed for Flashtool? Or Flashboot/Flashmode drivers are enough (cause I have them installed only)?

power off your phone, tap vol + and plug in usb...if you see a blue led then you are in fastboot...when you tap vol - and plug in usb if you see a green led then you are in flashmode....
fastboot is for flashing kernels and flashmode for flashing stock.ftf etc...
if you understand this download flashtool (google it)...when you done it select vergeance kernel*** from original android development or stock.ftf from general section...if you flash kernel go to cwm qbd reflash the rom....if you flash stock.ftf then you have the original rom (which you phone had when you bought it)

Thank you so much for being very assisting. If I want to install that generic kernel do I have to tick "exclude kernel" inside Flashtool? Or not and just click "ok"?
I made a screenshot of what I am talking about
http://i.imgur.com/1elSjqf.jpg

Inside flash tool I get errors, I tried to do this both with/without 'exclude kernel' I was reading from another tutorial ._. but it isn't working?

Anyone?
I'll just say one more time, I CAN'T mount USB Storage to place new roms on it. When I mount USB storage phone won't show up in my PC as it used to.
I'm in deep trouble I have a feeling

do you connect tipo to flashmode? (green led) try World rom...not generic...exclude means that "this think" (eg kernel) will not flashed during flashing period....

I installed the "world" rom instead of generic. Just when I did it as you normally would with Flash Tool, the flashing instantly begun and no errors were given. It seems my root and cwm are gone too, but that's fine . I have only rooted my own st27i in past, and it was my only experience I just know the very basics (like install cwm, bootloader, root). But I failed at BACKING UP inside CWM (I didn't do it..) for this phone a lesson learned. The worst part was that this Tipo was not my own phone, but friend's. And she was curious about the root so I told her that I'll try, I didn't claim I'm some expert and I warned her about bricking lol .
Was this phone actually bricked? I still don't know the answer, but it was scary. Either way, it was a painful and good experience cause if I would ever try another rom on my own phone I would always do backup!
Thanks a Bunch Xrhstospro, these forums need more helpful people like you. I don't really know what would I have done without your help!!!!

switch off phone remove battery re insert battery then go in flashmode in flash tool select your xperia stock.ftf file ( Stock firmware ) then connect your device holding Volume down button until it recognises ur device

If the phone vibrates and shows 3 Green or Red LEDs it is hard bricked and sent it in to Sony for Repair

Sometimes that happens me but only remove the battery connect to pc ,insert the battery and the flash starts

Try Your Luck to Get back your Tipo/Miro/E

hi all,
In most of Q/A thread of tipo/miro , i have seen that people are facing trouble after unlocking bootloader and get therir device bricked. so here, after some research ,i have mentioned notes that they should have try to get their tipo if possible.may be it will help
-Notes
-Change USB Port & USB Cable and Make Sure driver is installed Correctly
-Sometimes it looks like hardbrciked but it is not,so check that is there any vibration/LED sign while trying to turn on device
-Remove sd-card and SIM ,put your device in charging for 24 hours ,there is a little hope to get RED LED after
-Try External Charger and Charge your battery for long time & Connect your device without battery by holding volume down button and insert battery. It may detect your device on flashtool
-If you get LED Then try to connect with flash/fastboot mode and flash stock rom or use PC companian/SUS after Relocking Bootloader.
IF ANYONE WATCHING THIS THREAD HAVING SOLVED THAT KIND OF ISSUE THEN PLZ SHARE YOUR EXPERIANCE TO HELP OTHERS.

Thank you for ur reply, yes bootloader was unlocked and I was trying to install the custom rom but after restarting my xperia L never started again. Black dead...no logo just red LED blinking and I tried key combination but nothing. To repair through sus and flash tool it should be recognized by the pc. Its being recognized as unknown device by pc and did try to install driver manually but no luck. In both sus and flash tool I found message no phone attached.
Plz guide me.

Thanx, Before this issue with my Xperia L I was using PC companion and I guess this already installed drivers but now neither PC companion/SUS nor flash is detecting my phone. I am using windows 8 currently but I also tried on windows 7 to install the drivers but no luck. My friend suggested that I need a boot loader as all the data in my Xperia L has been washed out due to bad flashing. In my country no boot loader device available for Sony Xperia 2013 models. Any alternate solutions?

Bootloader..?!! I think you don't have any kernel in your phone currently that's why it isn't recognizing your phone by the PC.. Try using SUS on Windows 7..make sure your driver's are installed properly.. Either through SUS or Flashtool..
If your phone is Not Recognized by Flashtool that means you don't have Required Drivers Installed. Use the Below method to Solve this Problem.
Open the folder /Flashtool/drivers & Install "ggsetup-2.2.0.11".
If Still after the Above Process Flashtool doesn't Recognize your Phone. Use this Method.
Open the /Flashtool/driver folder & Extract the "XXX_ADB_Driver.zip" anywhere on your PC/Mac/Linux. [ This Zip corresponds to your Phone Model. ]
Now Open "Device Manager" on your PC/Mac/Linux & find the device which is with an Exclamation mark on it. [ Make sure your phone is Connected to the PC ]
Right Click on that Device & Choose Update Driver.
Choose to find the Driver Manually.
Now Browse to the Folder where to have Extracted your Phone Model Zip File.
This will Install the Required Drivers on your Computer.
After that Open Flashtool Again & Try to Recognize your Device.
If Still you see any problem reply back for further assistance..

Hi pervenkal, try varunpilankar steps, I too faced this issue while flashing my Xperia L for the first time, 7 months ago. But it is most probably driver issue, during that time I tried lots of drivers even the one given with flashtool, but finally drivers from ADT bundle helped me.

The red blinking light sounds like your battery is low, I read about someone who had do e this not long ago. Couldn't boot tinto recovery because they had insufficient charge. Charge your phone on mains power for an hour, and then try flashtool again. But make sure you wipe everything.

First, Which phone you have, c1905 is Xperia M
Second, Flashing Xperia M ftf to Xperia L is a guaranteed brick ==
i don't think it can be fixed without a complate nand rewrite. just a assumption
