[Q] Xperia L brick dead

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..
Here is the link for the Zip file..http://download.chainfire.eu/204

Sounds like you need to restore the stock ROM, just download it and flash using flash tool and your device will work again.
It appears the PureX audio may have corrupted the ROM and has prevent it from loading
Hope I could help

THANKYOU..!!

No problem, glad you got your phone working

I'd like to share my experience about, I had the same problem, what i do is to press power button and connect the phone to the computer (befere I tried to flash it with flashtools and I couldn't get the phone to enter to flashmode) a icon of the battery will appear, now start flashtool software (you should have the firmware downloaded previously) and follow all steps for reinstall android, this time flashtools recognize your phone.
I hope have helped, and sorry for my english I'm not english speaker.

try it

[Completed] Lenovo s860 can't be flashed completely (always stuck @ 25%)

​pls help my lenovo s860 can't finish flash using sp flash tool
the reason my phone lenovo s860 got bricked is because I've installed too many xposed module, I rebooted it right after the installation and then it went boot loop
So I tried to format it using Recovery Rom but it went lag and it stuck there, so I pressed the volume up and down and the power button again to escape from lag but after the format The phone is stuck at the recovery mode even though I pressed reboot or power off.
Now I tried to Flash it using Sp flash tool (latest version) but I forgot to press the "format and download" instead I pressed the "download" right away with its stock Rom (also I forgot to press the checksum in the download options) and the installation continued but it did not went 100% but it is stucked at 25% or 24%
Now my phone just displays The lenovo logo with "Dl tool failed! " below
Pls help me (sa mga pro dyan)
I cant get it to fastboot
I've flashed custom recovery but it makes the screen all black when I turn it on
I also flashed it in sp flash tool the old version 3.13 something and still only 25%
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME

It's worth trying Lenovo's Smart Assistant. This is an official PC suite that looks like it can flash the latest stock rom onto your phone for you. You'll find it here: http://lenovomobilesupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/Phones/S-Series/S860-Smartphone/downloads/DS101291
I personally don't have a Lenovo phone but I've used Sony's PC software to fix similar problems to yours before now.
This will mean that your phone won't be rooted but at least it will work and you can then root it and reinstall what you need.
Let me know if this helps!

My phone is stuck on sony logo !!

Hello , I have a D6633 variant of the Xperia Z3 and I was using the Carbon 8.1 oreo rom . The problem is when I wanted to install a fresh version of it I accidentally pressed reboot system after I wiped system and data in TWRP . I then flashed the stock 575 firmware with flashtool with wipe user data and apps log enabled but after the flash my phone shows the sony logo then restarts again. I tried flashing a different kernel but didn't succeed . Also tried flashing the kitkat stock rom but didn't work. Is there any fix for my problem ???
Thanks in advance

Is your boot loader unlocked?
If yes, boot into fastboot mode. Flash a recovery via flashtool.
Then enter recovery and flash the ROM,GApps again.
