repair phone with SEUS http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071

when getting sony ericsson logo try pressing back button a few times so you will get into Xrecovery/CWM mode. from there you can flash any ROM you want with the condition of having it on your SD card.

Use PCC
I had flashed an incompatible ROM on my device , and I had the same problem (I dont remember the name of the ROM)
I used PCC. It worked for me. I didnt need SEUS.
Prefer PCC

Thanks!
Thank you so much!
SEUS is da best.

You want to flash the baseband on LOCKED boot loader?
That will never work.
Since it seems your boot loader is still locked you only need to flash the Stock ROM.
EDIT: By the way, that's also the root of your problem.
MiniCM7 requires you to...
- Unlock the boot loader (ONLY if your phone is SAFE for doing so!!!)
- Flash nAa's kernel
- Flash MiniCM7
But then, why the hell do I repeat again what's actually written in the OP post of MiniCM7 and you failed to read?

(Q) Having flash issues (doesnt go into flashboot)

Hi,
My Z is running on stock .350, rooted and running XZDualrecovery and locked bootloader. I'm trying to flash the new .235 firmware but I have no luck at all using whatever methods. When I use flashtool, an error appears like this:

When I use PC companion, to the step when it told me to power off the phone and holding the volume down key while reconnecting to the PC, nothing happen when I did as it told me to.
Also I notice when I dont run any program at all, and then power off my phone and holding the volume down key while reconnecting, there is a sound on my PC that notify a connecting device, but doesnt show anything at all (window 8). And the led of the phone started with red and blinked into green then disappear completely after just half a second. I dont know what happen, it seems like my phone cant go to flashboot mode. Please help me, I just want to upgrade to a newer firmware with root access and nothing else. Thanks

Have you got the correct drivers installed, have you followed the correct way in @shadowboy23 tutorial also there is a link in my sig on how to (shadows way is thought windows, mine is through dos)
Also try another ftf file maybe a bad creator/download
Edit: Please don't panic post, just read there is a lot of advise out there. Your not the first person to have problems and won't be the last but we all try to help each other

Restore the system. Use Sony PC Companion. And when you install, root and cwm.
Saludos.
EDIT:
When you install the drivers, it must be in usb debugging mode. Delete in windows system administration and connects to your pc othertime, but as you can't enter the system, you can't do it.
The restoration process is long. Pc Companion download the rom and then is installed. Make sure the phone has at least 30% battery (for internet download speed of 10mb), more is better. If you are in bootloop when you recharge or if you can't recharge, don't waste battery, located where is the option in PC Companion and when you have controlled, do it.
Good Luck.

Forget about PC Companion.
First totally disable PC Companion and then try with Flashtool again. I mean While using Flashtool PC Companion will b disabled in ur PC. Try it..
If u have C5302 Firmware means flash that.. Its very very easy bro. Dont know what happens with u .. try again the way i told

Guys problem solved
Did a factory reset and kept for charging for 1 hour
Fone restrtd automaticaly.
Thanks

To get it to C5302, just edit build.prop :wink:

[Q] HELP:: Forgot to unlock bootloader and now stuck ??

hello guys . i have a xperia x8 e15i and i tried to install a custom rom. so it all went like this.
First i downlaoded gingerdx v.31 then rooted my phone,installed busybox,installed xrecovery,put gingerdx in my sd card,booted my phone into xrecovery made a backup of my rom cleared my cache installed gingerdx and hit reboot.
now my phone just stays on the SE logo and cant get into xrecovery. every time i put in the battery it just keeps on going into the SE logo and doesnt do anything.
I was thinking maybe i forgot to unlock bootloader but i cant really fix that now. all im thinking is how to get it back.
any suggestions ?

It's just a soft brick. You can repair it using pcc or simply flash stock rom via flashtool.

It's a soft brick. I have encountered it aswell. If you have PC companion you can install the Stock Eclair 2.1 back or flash it via Flashtool

thanks but i have tried to do it with pc companoin which wont let me cause it tells me to turn my phone on which i cant and when i try flash it with flash tool i cant find the right firmware :I

No dude. Just click on the support zone and some option will say Repair device or Upgrade software( I am not sure .. cant remember , you'll find it ) after that it will Download the Eclair 2.1 automatically and when it is downloaded it will ask you to hold some button and while holding that button ( I think its the back button ) connect the usb cable to your phone! your phone will show a green light and after that leave the job on the PC companion

solution
@dansei12
Nothing to worry, its just a soft brick , easy to fix.
You just need SONY PC COMPANION and your device with data cable.
Follow the steps in screenshot.
After the third step just follow instruction [SONY will show you the way ] .. and it will be done.
NOTE:- You will return back to stock without SU. !

Just a soft brick..
experienced the exat issue..
just use Sony Update service.. .
easiest to remove your soft brick!

You can use Sony Update Service, you are right it's different !

You just need to find xperia x8 from listed mobiles, and follow instructions.. easy
Good luck

Only Sony update service is able to repair the phone in flash mode
Many XDA users talk about SEUS and PC companion like if they were the same program...
P.S: if bootloader is unlocked, relock it by using RESTORE option in S1-tool or any soft you used to unlock it.
Relock the bootloader before using Sony Update Service

Are you serious? You don't know how to use pcc to unbrick a soft bricked phone then. Read up. Lots of guides showing just how to do it. And the update service is NOT the only tool to unbrick a phone. Please do a simple search about bricks first before you start giving answers and claim other users think pcc and seus is the same. You're only giving op false info.

I was just telling you that they are not the same software..
It happened to me during old soft bricks that PC companion sometimes won't do nothing through support zone => update
Ok Update Service is better (because it's different) and sorry for giving a fake info

I apologize for jumping on you mate.
Pcc can repair soft bricked phones although it's tricky for new users. In that aspect seus is better since it's simpler. Personally I prefer flashtool. I have stock rom and kernel on my pc just in case. I guess it's personal preference.

Thanks

Thanks phone up and running again.
I cant root it though. I dunno why. I restored it with SEUS and then updated firmware with pcc. Still cant root it.

How are you trying to root it? Can you give us a log? Someone can probably help you out if we can identify what's wrong.

I think i have bricked my Xperia Z1 while trying to flash a ftf.
firstly when i tried to switch on my phone it showed "Update failed please connect to system and update again"
now the phone is totally bricked (no response) and when i try to connect it in flashmode windows detect it as qhsusb_bulk device.
Can anyone please suggest or help !

can you please enumerate your steps of doing this?if it's ok...think positive dont panic!

You are not the first and I think you are not the last. Phone Bricked mean dead, your is not. If you PC can recognize the phone that mean something is working.
So, did you use flashtool v0.9.11 or v0.9.13?

From my previous experience, the best way to rescue Xperia is Sony Update Service.
So, please try SUS.

Since your device is detected by flashtool , please use SUS.
Flashtool has little chance to force flash since it gives errors and stop half way.
But SUS does because it dont need to verifer your phone but you have to choose it from a list, it might not success at the first time but will go through the whole process(i tried to resure xperia TX with 5 flashs and it eventually boot)
So keep flash with SUS until your phone boot.
PC companion need to recognise your phone model so it is a bit tricky.

Like you can see in the post the phone is recognised so I don't see the problem.
I will also recommended to try different FTF, it seem like will be some error there.
And at last I will repeated the follow steps:
Keep pressed volume down all the time and connect the phone via usb to PC, do not open flashtool (do not use drivers from sony site, if you installed them uninstall them, windows will do that) wait 1 minute and let windows install the drivers automatically first, then open flashtool, select firmware and flash it, keep pushing volume down all the time. When on the green bar below show up the % of the process you can leave your phone alone. Done.

I have the same problem like yours no vibration no led blinking or something i even removed the battery tryed to charge it over 24 hours nothing to get it back to life so we have a hardbricked phone now thanks to 4.3 update and for now the only solution is to change the mainboard or first to chek it with a fully charged battery (new one)

you need to have a look how to flash the device if it is in hs-usb mode (qualcomm is the manufacturer of our snapdragon 800 CPU and the hs-usb mode is meant for vendors to flash bootloader a.s.o.)
i never tried such a thing and maybe it simply can't be done without the special unofficial tools that the vendors have.
so this really looks like a brick ...
hope the best for you guys ...

Bored to mention it: Wrong Windwos ADB Drivers. If the device is recognized how can it be bricked. Just wrong set/recognized.
But if you all prefer to send your devices in, open the cases (OMG) or other useless stuff... Entering in Flash/Fastbootmode has nothing to do with the battery. On older Xperia devices you could even flash without/removed battery... The S1 Fastboot unlock worked without battery. How do you think does Sony interact with the ROM's or EEPROMS? A special hidden connector? A special Software? Whispering?

I have the same problem and posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623486

I tried with a second sony xperia z1 that already had 4.3 OTA update and then tried flashing it again using flashtool and it worked so this eliminates the program and usb cable.....the one I have now which is giving me issues is one which had 4.2.2 and im trying to flash to 4.3
