[Q] XPeria J CWM not working

Hello everyone . I have successfully rooted the XPERIA J but after installing the CWM mentioned in the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114
My Xperia can boot into recovery all right but it doesnt turn on in NORMAL mode . When I press the power button the SONLY LOGO comes up and then the phone turns off.
I had to repair it using PC Companion. Can you tell what the problem is . I changed the model number in build.prop too but it didnt help.
Can you please provide a working CWM for Xperia J ?
Need it urgently for installing CM10.
Thanks in advance.

same problem, but i try to use Sony update service and restore my phone to normal, it's easy to use is working only your phone is off, sry for my bad english
before instal CWM you need to unlock bootloader

that cwm only works on .18 & .28 fw. thats why most people like me with unlockable bootloaders are stuck on primitive stock fw no one has developed a proper cwm for locked bootloaders yet

[Solved] Hard bricked my Xperia J...

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've tried to update my Xperia J to the new Jelly Bean firmware, but before that, I've done a full wipe and format system and cache through CWM. After that, I reboot my phone and it never goes after the Sony logo. I've tried to repair it with PC Companion, SUS and Flashtool, but everytime it starts to flash new Rom, the green led goes off and nothing is done.
Is there any solution for this, or should I go to the store and pray that it isn't to expensive to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Its not hard bricked.Its really normal for green light to go off while flashing ftf.Just wait for the flashtool to complete preparing files and then connect your phone in flash mode(green led) after the prompt appears.It will instantly start the flashing process (and yes, the green led goes off as soon as flashing starts so dont worry).
You may also experience a strange problem where the flashtool gets stuck at 0 percent. You can fix that by trying some older version of flashtool.
Good luck

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm really getting stucked at 0 percent at Flashtool. I can´t even repair it with PC Companion, that's why I was afraid that is was an hard brick. I'm going to try with an older version of Flashtool as you've said.
Thanks again.
EDIT: I've tried with an older version of Flashtool and still no luck, always getting stucked at 0 percent. I read somewhere that my problem must be that my phone at this moment don't have any operating system and that probably I couldn't fix it at home. Is this true or is there something more I can do?

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
Well i used to get this problem with my flashtool.Installing an older version did the trick for me.You can try flashing from some other system

Unloked bootloader????

Re: [Help] Hard bricked my Xperia J...
If you got unlocked bootloader then you can fastboot flash fxp kernel followed by the rom itself.This will atleast make your device functional again.

Unfortunately my bootloader is locked.
I will try again, but this time on my computer here at work.
EDIT: Still no luck in another computer. I guess I will need to go to Vodafone Store at the end of the day and see what they can do with my phone.

Good news!!
I've installed PC Companion here on my work computer and it repaired my phone. Probably there's some kind of problem with my computer at home. I'm already flashing Jelly Bean normally with flashtool.
Thanks a lot for your help balboarocky.

Use Flashtool for this

Really hard Brick sony xperia J
under clockwork mod (after using int for installing cyanogen) i want to erase some data because my Cyanogen install was bugged (i forgot to Md5 checksum, so the files was maybe corrupted),
but i was very tired.and it's more than possible than i erase boot or systeme,
since that NO Led, No fastboot or Flashmode connections,
Do you think my Xperia is dead from dead (tm) .
Edit : to make the phone react and avoid bootloop i have to remove the battery and use it like the "power button" to take my phone in Flashboot, reflash Cwm and my phone work again ....

SONY XPERIA MIRO (ST23I) GONE BLACK !!!
Hi MR./MASTER./MRS
My phone just stopped after installing 'Jelly Bean Mini Project ROM'. I flashed from ext SD, but ended in bricking it. Now I cant use my phone.
Only Black screen ,vibrate when I press power button AND tuning between Green LED and Blue LED can be done any time
Now when I try to flash the phone with official (ftf) firmware with flashboot, the error says:
" 30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."
I'm sure that I hv installed as it says, but still the error shows up.
P.S I have done nothing with Bootloader
Picture of FLASHTOOL error saying and SONY XPERIA MIRO connected is in attachment.
What am I suppose to do?
A BIG THANKS FOR HELPERS!!

Download Sony PC Companion .
Connect your phone in firmware flashing mode.
it will automatically install the required drivers.
And make sure to put the firmware ftf file into the folder named 'firmwares' of flashtool.
Please press the thanks button on the bottom right corner of this post if I helped you.

Don't worry, Your phone is not hard bricked. As you mentioned that on starting , phone is vibrating that means there are chances to recover your phone.
1.First go through this guide :Using Flashtool
2.Download your current stock firmware . Visit this: Miro all official firmwares
3.Install proper drivers as mentioned in the above 1.flashtool guide.
4.Flash the firmware for your phone , according to the above 1. Flastool guide.
5.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.
Good luck

Guide : How to fix Software issues or Red light of death of Xperia C2305 / CS39H

So first off all what is red light of death It a hard brick state of Xperia C2305/CS39H and it is mostly caused when you are installing a cwm recovery and that won’t match the S1 boot version of your device. Also it is caused by software update not properly installed some errors or incorrect rom flashing not suitable for your device. So before starting to the repairing process read the notes.
Notes :
1. This is official way to recover the device so the warranty will not be voild.

}
2.. You can use this process for any Xperia device having software issues ,hard brick , soft brick or bootloops any errors can be fixed by this.
3. In this process your stock android will be reinstall and all your data will be wiped so before starting. Take a backup from dr fone brick data repair download link is attached below you can download it and I will soon make a tutorial how to use it.
4. It is a stock rom so if you have unlocked bootloader it will not work you have to use unofficial flash tool to flash the rom.
5. If you face any issues during installation replay me below. Also read everything before starting.
6. You can proceed to the fix
So here how to fix it !!
Required :
1. Bricked Xperia C2305 or CS39H (softbrick , hardbrick ,any software issue, bootloops)

8. Time aprox 4hrs or more up to your internet speed
NOTE : BEFORE STARTING THIS OPEN THE BACK COVER OF THE DEVICE AND TAKE SOMETHING POINTED AND PRESS THE RESET
BUTTON WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE PC WITH GREEN LED SHOWING THIS WILL WIPE THE THIRD PARTY CWM OR ANY RECOVERY ON YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU DONT THE UNSUPPORTED RECOVERY WILL BLOCK THE INSTALLION PROCESS. ONCE DONE FOLLOW THE STEPS.
So here the steps :
STEP ONE : See wheater your device is charged 80 % or not it is necessary because when you are in download mode alot of battery is consumed . Battery will not charge directly because device is non stop getting in download mode while charging consuming all the battery what is charged so how to charge battery First see the above notification led is off or on it is beside the front facing camera if its is on then the device is on off it by holding power button for 15sec once led is off insert usb and charge it again the above red led will on again off it by holding power button for 15sec Note disconnect the charging usb from device before pressing power button. Repeat this for 1 or 2 hr. Once done go to next step.
STEP TWO : First install Xperia C2305 / CS39H USB driver and then download Xperia Companion on your PC and open it then hit software repair chose smartphone and the hit click here. Once done it will download the drivers. Once done go to step three.
STEP THREE : hold power button for 15 sec then leave power button and hold vol- and insert the usb abd connect to pc don’t leave it until Xperia Companion detect it and leave the vol- and press next i agree all then it will download the OS of your device. NOTE : KEEP IN MIND OS SIZE IS APROXIMATELY 700 MB SO DATA CHARGES MAY APPLY I AM NOT RESPONBLE IF YOU HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR DATA PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK . Once done go to step four.
STEP FOUR: Disconnect the Usb and the start the device. First time will take 15 min or more to boot then select language and all the step up you are done.

This is because your mother board has some issues if you have ever hard ware damage this is not new thing. Installing custom rom is not different then using stock the custom rom for xperia c are just stock themed so better dont install but sometimes it might able to slove the issue try installing custom rom. And the thing how to install drivers on yout windows pc charge the battery as shown in my guide then connect the usb to pc the go to control panel you will see the device as unidentified device click on it then search for driver on internet it will surely fail to find the hit browse then select the un zip driver file and select the driver it will install it you are done hit thanks if it works best wishes.

There might be some problem with your Phone's hardware. If it's still under warranty, maybe the company can replace your device but at least they can try to repair it for free.

I did what the topic said but xperia companion gives me an error .. please heeeelp !!

hi, im in this same situation but after reading the replies i discovered I'm installing drivers not the proper way, thanks in somewhere in page 2. will try my luck again later today, I'm using win 7 32bit if that matters. also is there any other way to charge my device internal battery? I'm suspecting it's battery is almost depleted. coz everytime i connect my phone to usb, it shows unknown device with a steady red light indicates it recognize the device in my pc. but disappears around 10secs maybe as soon the led light starts blinking. if i charge the device in doesnt show any charging animation or led it just turn on by itself on sony logo then reboot on endless loop when charging on a wall charger
