My xperia p is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I tried honami moon walker and didnt like it. So restored it to my old back I took using CWM recovery backup.
I dont know if it got restored properly. I mean I was in honami moon walker and just restored the old backup which is jellybean os. Was it the way to do?
And then I tried to unlock the bootloader to try more roms like cyanogen. but the phone doesnt stay in fastboot mode or the violet light goes faster before I point to the customized interface file in my system. When I pointed, it told "windows was able to find the driver but unable to install it". Cannot find the file specified. I used an application quick boot(Reboot) to get into fastboot mode which was easy. But all in vain. In the process of getting into fastboot mode, I never got out. The screen will be blank.
Then I will try restarting by pressing the power and volume up buttons together and restoring to the old back up I took already.
Now whenever I restart my phone, it gets stuck with the sony logo and it keep restarting. Before trying the power plus volume up combination, it may stay in a blank screen with 2 pixel sized blinks on the two sides of the bottom screen.
So now I am afraid to restart my phone itself. Because it never restarts the phone but gets stuck with the sony logo and then I have to restore it to the old back up.
What should I do? I want to keep my phone rooted and unlock the bootloader and try new roms.

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!

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..
I had the Photon Q with the SIM mod and CM 9 working for 2 mouth. But yesterday, I were using the cellphone when it reboot itself and get freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning. I try to power it of but y could not, the I let it there until batery drain (about 4 hours)
Now when I boot the cellphone it has an strange behavior. Some times it freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning, other time make a loop boot (show the warning and restart). Also some times it display strange colors on the screen when try to boot and many times it display a randomly sorted grey vertical lines and very few times (one of every 50 times) it boot the ROM but when i touch the screen it goes black.
i can not conect to phone by adb and can not enter recovery, but i can access to the fastboot (in fact the fast boot is working but do not display anything on the screen, i suppouse that the same happend with the recovery. but i can not use it if the screen is black)
I used the fastboot and RSD to flash the stock firmware, the phone return fail on every 4.0.4 ROM but it work with the 4.1.2. After the flash some times thes phone display the morotola and sprint logo and then start the handfree configuration, but when I touch the screen it goes to black again.
I do not know if it is bricked, I think that if i have access to the fastboot i can resurrect the phone. but is very strange the random behavior.
Do you have any idea what should I do?
Thanks.
PS: sorry for my bad english
Re-Strange behaviour
Hi there, one of my Q's (also sim modded) was doing a similar bootloop warning etc. I was screwing around with it a bit. It's all good now though.
The way to force power down/reboot is to hold "volume -" and the power button for 10-15 seconds. If you drain the battery, you will be stuck with more boot-loops due to a flat battery. If you plug the charger in & the LED is green, this means it is charging a dead battery, & will need to charge for a while.
By the way, I had issues on my other Q handset running CM, failing to read the mSD card, and causing freezes, boot loops etc, so I went back to stock. Pretty sure most of the trouble is due to the mSD card read/mount error.
Edit:
Come to think about it - my Q failed after I tried to restore my CM10.1 backup from the previous phone. I suggest this may be contributing to the issue, as you are also running CM.
With the black screen/boot loop, force reboot by holding "vol -" & power button for 15 seconds, release power, then immediately hold "vol +" so it forces boot to recovery (TWRP if you have it).
I restored a previous backup eventually, but TWRP was not working too well after the screwy boot-looping etc. I ran a factory reset from the phone menu once it was running again, then rebooted into TWRP.
Super User wouldn't install from TWRP after, so I pushed it across & installed from TWRP, now I'm about to update TWRP to 2.6.
Still want to have a go at another ROM on this handset, so I can compare it to my stock one. I'm pretty sure CM10.1 was part of the problem on the other Q with my mSD card failing, as it has been fine ever since on stock.
Try this:
Try using adb to fastboot into recovery, then push TWRP (again) onto your Q using this method by arrrghhh http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070
Push Super User across onto your mSD & install that from TWRP as instructed also.
Restore a stock/custom backup from an earlier time if you have one, or flash a fresh download.
Let me know how you go.
P.S. make sure you have "USB Debugging" enabled in developer options in order to ADB fastboot recovery.

I tried it, but do not work.
I flash the stock ROM from fastboot and also flash several recoverys, but never boot any ROM and I think that i access to the recoverys but the screen is black then is very dificult to use it. Is strange beacouse some times screen displays perfect the unlocked bootloader warning, but never display anything on the fastboot or the recovery.
Witch part of the software have the video drivers that are used on the recovery and fastboot? I think that maybe is corrupted. how can i flash it again?
Thanks.
Hello
Yesterday I installed alien rom 5.0 onto my xperia J which was running cm10. It installed and worked very well until I realised I forgot to flash the root fix so I needed to reboot to recovery which I was unable to do because it wouldn't work. I decided to go ahead and install a cwm I found on a website and I could now boot into cwm however it kept flashing a charging symbol the the screen was pink whilst showing double and switching off. After a while it started working again but then crashed as soon as I hit the power button to restore my backup. Now my phone shows a black screen and when switched on flashes the led green twice and shows the sony logo then powers back off. I need help, I'm un experienced in this field of phones...
Good morning, I bought yesterday this phone, version D6603.
When I started it android version was 4.4.4, so I tried the Sony update to see if any update was available, and it suddenly started the download; so I stopped it and turned off the phone (I just wanted to install a recent stock rom with flashtool with a data wipe, because the phone is a secondhand one). After a while I turned it on again, just to check the camera, and when I started it the screen went black and the phone has locked and turned off by itself! I cannot manage to boot it again, neither in normal nor in recovery mode (I tried volume down + power, volume up + power, both + power). I had to reset it several times with the physical button because every time it get stucked on boot!
So next step was to try to install a stock rom with flashtool (D6603_23.4.A.0.546_IT), using wipe apps_log and userdata; it worked with no errors but the phone was still stucked on boot (just after the welcome music).
I also tried to use PC Companion's "repair your phone" under Support Zone, but it didn't work as well.
At this point I don't know what else I can do, I tried everything I know! I always had Sony and it's the first time I got a stucked phone with no root and nothing else modified.. Any suggest??
Thank you very much
Hello,
This morning turning my phone on, everything worked, until the error messages like "com.snapchat.android process suddenly stopped" (I have received several of this) including one which bugged my phone: "the prossessus Xperia ™ 11 has stopped working" (the two "1" appeared like the™).
There I received messages that appeared and stood out immediately: I could not use my phone: I reboot. And here's the problem:
My phone is on and stays blocked on the first boot screen (Sony).
My phone is rooted since 8 months, and when it starts, it does not even reach the violet LED: so i'm unable to access the Recovery Mode.
When it charges it's the same: it remains stuck at the boot screen plus a red LED usual for chargings, and when I unplug the screen is still on with red LED indefinitely.
To turn it off (for not stay on all the time), I push with a pencil lead into the notch "off" (at the back of the phone on the left of the SD card)
The worst: When I try to connect my phone into fastboot mode or flashmode, the LED (blue or green) lights, but Flashtool doesn't recognize the device. When I unplug the device, the LED (blue or green) is still lighting. So I cannot flash (which I wanted to do) with Flashtool.
So I think it's a problem because the phone hangs at the beginning of the boot, maybe it's a bootloop, or a hardbrick (?).
This problem appeared like that, I think having done anything weird lately. The phone is one year and a half.
It's very difficult for me because I can not do anything that is in my possession and I greatly needed.
Anyone have a solution for this? Its very important.
Thank you so much !
PS : Very sorry for my english
