hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome
Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome
ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!
Just flash a custom kernel first then boot into CWM and then flash a SuperSU.zip from the recovery.. It will directly root your phone..

Firstly make sure that you have device drivers installed from the HTC website.
if that does not work try copying rom file to external sdcard if available n flash it with custom recovery. and even try different recovery with dis method.even if dat does not help den seek expert members assiatance..

Try flashing Stock JB ROM by Paplu using SPFlashTools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167244
I never flashed LeWa OS but don't Update Over the Air (OTA) as it might be downloading the update for that device (as it a ported ROM (I think)) the ROM was actually made for.
And don't worry. All of us had bricked devices at some point of time.
I prefer you use SPFlashTools on a Win 7 PC as drivers are a bit complicated to install on Win 8 as they are not signed. After that, download CWM img and flash it using SPFlashTools (tutorial to flash just recovery is also given or you ask if you are not able to do it) as recovery flashed through Mobile Uncle Tools also doesn't boot after factory resets and a couple of more situations.
HI devs
I am new here. I am facing a problem maybe I am the only one facing it. I was trying to install a custom rom on my LG F180L . I was using freegee, flashify method to install custom recovery that I successfully installed (Philz recovery or something like that) well it didn't work so never installed the ROM so I changed my recovery to sk8s CWMRTouch 14.4.7 and now I can't mount my sd card, external sdcard neither I can mount usb storage(phone attached to PC while in recovery mode) I cac't copy any ROM files to try Flash them. I tried to go back to stock ROM but after successfully downloading file (>1gb) and using LG R&D tool it didn't work either. When the R&D tool decrypts the kdz file I have a file extract error and all tests fail it says. I can't do anything. I know my device is soft bricked but I want to get it back. I've read several posts on xdas on same issue nothing helped me. Please help me I'll be highly grateful to you guys. Thanks for reading this long thing.
Hope you guys will help me out because that's what you do
Thank you .
im pretty much doomed
i use a motorola moto g 2nd gen 2014 version
recovery TWRP-2.7.1.1
till now i was using the titan prime rom for xt1068 - lollipop
yesterday i tried to flash the cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly titan
i have flashed 3-4 roms before and am not new to the process, i've been using a rooted device for almost an year
yesterday i copied the rom to my external sd card , took backups using titanium backup,did the standard wiping procedures and proceeded to flash the rom. when i tried to flash the rom
it gave me an error E:/ error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard1/cyanogenmod12.1 nightly.zip'
at first i thought there was a problem with my rom, so i took out my external sd , put my titan prime rom's zip on it and then did the standard wiping procedures again and tried to flash it
only to get the same error again
now i dont have any os on my device.
when i try to mount the storage on my laptop using the twrp / mount usb storage my laptop doesn't read the device at all.
it doesnt read the device when it is connected through usb cable and the recovery mode is on
however it does read it till it is in the bootloader state as - fastboot titan
as soon as i turn on the recovery it doesnt read
at first i thought it's because i had the rom on my external sd so i searched the internet on how to copy the rom to my internal memory that is 16GB
i got many methods using adb so i installed adb copied it ito c:/adb. then i tried using the adb commands to copy the files
in this tutorial the device is detected while in the recovery mode but mine doesnt get detected. i have installed the proper drivers , motorola device manager etc but nothing seems to work. i need help ASAP
