Bricked! - Sony Xperia L

After installing blisspop (or I don't really remember), I realized that WiFi wasn't working and neither was bluetooth so I decided to flash Extended Stock Kernel kernel, first with flashing the boot, then flashing the zip from recovery mode and even after that, the result was the same. It didn't work. Later on I went to the Phantom kernel's page and flashed that without checking that the kernel was meant for 4.4 and it bricked my device. Now, whenever the phone starts, it shows the Phantom kernel boot at start with its logo without any led light appearing below and due to that I'm unable to go into either flashmode or fastboot. It keeps restarting the Phantom boot at start and doesn't go any further. Please help!
EDIT: A more detailed version that I wrote a few months ago to the kernel's developer.

Previously I had my Xperia L reset on stock ftp then flashed the Extended Stock Kernel on it. Since the wifi wasn't working, I tried to download R17 and flashed it through CWM and now the phone keeps restarting on the Phantom Logo. It shows the logo, waits for about 10 seconds then restarts and the same keeps repeating. I saw it was for Kitkat but then too I insisted on installing. I can't access neither bootloader nor recovery mode. The light which comes when the Phantom Logo pops doesn't appear either. Can you help me please? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I know I did a stupid thing but I really don't want to give up on this device.

[Q] bricked after install CM9 on xperia S ?

Hello There!
Being anything but an expert I carefully read instructions on how to unlock my SONY XPERIA S (LT26i) as I wanted to install CM9. This worked, but installing cm9 I f...ed up.... All seemed to go well, but after the final boot nothing happened, the screen stayed black.
When I try to unzip the file with cm9 from root again I get: 'installation aborted', '(status 7)' and the anouncement that the zip.file has an error in it.
If I try to start in normal mode (after a hard reset) i get freexperia logo for a short while, then the small led turns purple (i think) and the bottom, bar lights up for a sec or two. Then everything turns black again...
The led turns red all right when i try fastboot mode, but my computer no longer recognizes the phone.
Help me please!
Hey,

Hello!
I have an identical problem. Is there a working version of [FXP117_update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-nozomi-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip]? There appears to be no access to the phone's SD storage, so how do i flash it?
Have you tried wiping/flashing new firmware from windows, using for example Fastboot Commander? Maybe this will work
I had similar promlem with CM9 on my xperia pro. I solved it with total reinstall of phone. so I wiped cache, Dalvik cache, factory reset (through Clockwork recovery), flashed stock kernel, then stock firmware..after I saw, that phone is working and my heart slowed back to normal, i did the same steps, but with CM9 kernel and CM9 ROM and it is working like charm now..

[Q] Xperia Neo L/MT25i Stuck on Boot Animation

Hi Friends,
I need help as my Neo L has stuck on boot animation.
Phone is:
*Rooted
*CWM installed
*Stock ROM
*Bootloader unlocked
Story:
As the phone was lagging a lot and I thought of getting some relief from the sluggish behavior.
Thought of installing a custom ROM.
Found ROm here: Taku Xperia
Flashed custom Vengeance Kernel (phoenix) from: here
The battery was running very low and I flashed the vengeance kernel through flashtool on windows 7.
All options were selected as USB debugging, mock locations, stay awake, MSC etc etc).
After flashing I tried booting the phone in recovery (Power+Volume down key).
Phone given a small vibration and started normally till boot animation (CWM didn't work).
I thought may be I have not pressed the buttons properly, removed the battery and tried again and same thing happened again.
I thought I will flash the stock kernel again and tried switching on.
But Now there is no vibration and phone is showing the "Sony" boot animation only.
I put the phone on charging (4 hrs) and I think its not even charging. There is a red light blinking for some time and the boot animation only.
Please help as I am in Europe and repair at service center will be costlier than the actual price of the phone.
Phone's current state:
*ROM: Stock
*Kernel: Vengeance
*Booting: Yes, upto boot animation (black screen with Sony logo)
*Windows not recognizing the device (tried re-installing the drivers and tried on Vista as well)
*SUS/PC companion not recognizing the device
*Battery seems drained
This is my 1st post on XDA, hence regret if something is not correct.
With Regards

[Q] Need help galaxy s2 i9100 boot loop and freezing

Hello I am searching for help. The problem is that my galaxy s2 i9100 stopped working properly. It started like this maybe I took out the battery or something I don't remember and then I turned it on the phone wouldn't boot. I thought maybe my android operation system got bricked so I decided to re flash it but as I can remember the phone wouldn't go in to download mode but some how I managed to reflash the firmware but then phone booted it just froze and then I pressed lock button the phone screen would go black and reboot. After installing cyanogen mode 11 the phone would boot and it could be used again until pressed the lock button it would go black and reboot so I have been reading forums and found problems like boot loop corrupted mmc or something else corrupted and I don't know what the real problem is because the symptoms are like boot loop or corrupted mmc or soft brick. I have already tried other kernels other android versions clock work mode

I have found that my emmc has the insane chip bug. The phone boots normally with cyanogen mode 11 but then it goes to sleep mode or I press the power button the screen goes black and the phone restarts. I have tried siyah kernel to try dual boot but then I flash siyah I cant get into recovery.
I think you should flash latest STOCK ROM with Odin, and then follow available custom rom instructions on xda...
Test if the stock rom will work for you, boot your phone etc... Try to use it a few days. If everything is OK, proceed with
further procedures...

I have already tried this but with the stock rom phone boots but at the section where I have to chose language I jus freezes stops working
So I think it is a hardware problem. Phone on stock rom shouldn't freeze on language selection. Something is wrong. If you are on warranty, let them fix it for you, if you are not, try to fix it in some phone repair point. I'm sure you can stop your attempts. It will not be better for now.

[Q] I have problems with updating lollipop 5.0 in my Nexus 4.

So, my phone was stuck in No Command bootloop. I’ve done the power+volume up and had cleared cache and even done a factory reset. Those did nothing and my phone is still in stuck No Command loop. I think I’ve made it even worse by trying to Flash Recovery and Reboot options in the Nexus Tool Kit because my phone won’t even get to the No Command screen. It just turns on and turns off after Google comes on. Currently it stuck in that loop and only stops once the battery is completely drained. Also i have tried using power + volume up and it doesn't help . Please help

As you've upgraded to lollipop ?? You came from a custom rom ?? Enters the bootloader?

with wugfresh nexus root toolkit click on the button "soft-bricked"(flash stock + unroot) or something like that to restore the phone. After that try another time to unlock and root with a custom recovery (for example twrp).
When nexus root toolkit installing the original lollipop rom, look the "dos window" to see if the software shows errors, because sometimes the process ends without a real restore.
If you have other problems, please post a screenshot.

Star S5 Butterfly Completely Bricked!

guys i need serious help. i have had this device (name in title) for a while and i had it rooted. when resetting it from its menu it got stuck on android is upgrading screen for a couple of days. so i decided to restore it using sp flash tool. i went on needrom and got the latest rom from there BIG MISTAKE . i then flashed it correctly and it had booted but it would not let me use the screen because it had froze. so then forcing it to power off by removing the battery. unfortunately it never booted up again. now when trying to flash the first rom available it only shows the red bar and then i get an error ''BROM:S_ft_enable_dram_failed(4032).
i have noticed that when it booted up after flashing the rom it booted up with a htc bootanimation so the rom was a custom rom.
the setup screen also looked messed up.
i was told to right click on the preloader when it shows up and install the correct drivers manually. i did but i also noticed it had a yellow triangle and was named mt65xxx preloader. once updating it it is now called something like mediateck vcom preloader or close to that but when connecting the phone it oonly stays there for 2 seconds and disappears and never comes back unless i dissconnect and connect the phone again.
someone please help and if you need more info just message me.
