[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

Im trying to flash my phone into a new custom ROM cause my current on is slow and keeps crashing my phone also want to update to a different ROM. Problem is I cant reboot into recovery or boot loader or anything. Boot recovery just gives me a pink screen. Recovery just gets stuck at boot logo (it use to work but its all of a sudden decided it doesn't want to work) same thing happens when I try to factory reset my phone also the fast boot method doesnt seem to work either cause I cant get Fastboot to load on my pc. Already tried flashing my ROM and Recovery via Flashify and other apps flash your phone but just got stuck on boot logo. Tried doing a factory reset again got stuck at boot logo. Tried installing the custom ROM via Rom Installer. Still stuck at boot logo. I did several searches and there doesn't seem to be any way to resolve this issue without a recovery or other boot method im hoping someone here can help me. Also my phone wont show up on my pc so I cant access my files and im unable to install Droid explorer cause it doesn't detect my sdk folder which is odd cause it says all the drivers are installed and tools like HiSuite detects my device but the device wont show up in my computer.
Phone Model: Huawei Ascend Y300
Current ROM: Cyanogen Mod 11 (nightly version)
CM11 Version: 11-20150327-NIGHTLY-u8833

[Completed] [HELP] TWRP Flash soft-bricked my phone

Hello, I have a GT-S7560m (Galaxy Trend or Ace II)
Just tried to install the custom recovery too much times, I tried with TWRP official app and didn't worked, tried with ADB, but fastboot won't detect my phone on download mode, and finally tried with TWRP Manager App (here the brick), the APP said I already instaled a custom recovery (but I know not, this is my first time at rom flashing), and then the app asked me to reboot the phone, after reboot, the phone won't boot anymore!
Some specs are there the phone don't show up anything on the screen (like logo or information), don't vibrate, don't boot on recovery or download mode, BUT, any PC recognize it as Serial USB device (COM3, COM5, or COM6), but adb don't find anything!
I don't know whatever happened to my phone, I didn't tried to install custom rom, I was just taking a look at the custom recovery, that I don't installed too
And yeah, my phone was rooted, and I downloaded TWRP from official site, my device is supported, I found out twrp kyleve 3.0.0.0
What to do? It's not a Hard-Brick, I know it :crying:

Samsung n3n sm-n750 download mode nither responding in odin mode or in kies mode.

I had rooted my note 3 neo sm-n750 device twice before through odin. i had never faced issues as i m having now.
i had rooted my n3n earlier and also revert it to stock through odin, but i mistakenly installed "INS" version of rom where my devicebox indicates "INU". after that i re-tried rooting same device through odin method. my device connected perectly also i dont get any error throughout the process but my device download mode not respond to any update so odin process stuck. i tried every wayout available at android forums i got nothing helped me out. so i decided to root my device by apk available in market. i installed kingoroot and it rooted my device properly. after that i installed flashify apk to flash recovery and after that i got a pop-up asking to reboot in recovery. i pressed reboot and it wont reboot into recovery whereas it stuck at n3n startup logo. now i m not even able boot into stock recovery, and my downloading mode also not responding. i tried kies firmware installation and updation process. my device connected perfectly downloaded require files but stuck after downloading procedure as my downloading mode isnt responding. i have only option to boot in download mode only.
please help me.
Thanks in advance.
