Just flash a stock rom with flashtool. All should be ok then.
Cheers

Hello,
Please post in the Right Section. This belongs to Q&A. [Q] What I can do...
The only thing you can do is:
Buy a new Battery or charge the old battery with and external charger.
Please only flash ROMs with more than 50% Battery since you need a bit Juice to recover it incase of problems
Or do you mean the Power of your PC went off? Cuz' your kernel should show "FXP" not "Sony" unless someone changed kernel splash screen... If thats the prob use search man, and use flashtool... Think what you can do in case of problems, before acting
King Regards,
Jader

If you see Sony logo then you have stock kernel i think and you say you tried to flash JB rom with stock kernel? To flash JB rom you must unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel like (fxp, lupus or fusion) and then flash JB rom trough CWM recovery (included in custom kernels). To fix your phone now there are 2 solutions:
1.Use PC companion to repair your software
2. Use flashtool and flash any stock rom

You can use SEUS, provided you did not unlock bootloader. If it's unlocked, you can always relock it.

[Q] Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.

Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.
So, after I'd unlocked the BE, I saw BE and Music Info Download were gone. Then I relocked the bootloader, flashed the .197 firmware using flashtool and ... bam, the BE won't work too. I can comfirm I have locked the bootloader and unroot. But these 2 still won't work. I tried to take the picture with BE on/off and they are the same. Please help me....

can i bmp this thread ?

Only once every 24 hours, so no, you have broke the rules.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?

Thank you, I'll remember next time.

OK, NP
I have read some threads on other xperia forums where there are methods to get it back working again, but I am not sure if it has been managed yet on the T.
The fact these things break when unlocking the bootloader via official methods is very clearly explained on the Sony site and is maybe the only reason why any dev may still be trying to find an unnoficial way to unlock the bootloader.
Try searching in the xperia S forum, i think thats where it has been done before

I have searched and found that method you mention. I have tried to apply it but it didn't work.
Maybe Jellybean will fix it, don't you think ?

Most likely not. These modules require DRM keys that are removed when unlocking the bootloader,

Another reason for me to sold this and buy it again. Will cost money but I just very love this device, but I love Bravia more....

how do you check to see if Bravia is working? I have an unlocked BL on my TX and the Bravia engine is showing enabled in Display settings.

Try watching a video or look at pictures with it turned off and on. In your case, unlocked BL, you should see no difference.

Solved the Download Music Info Security Error and Mobile Bravia Engine
Please note this is for the Xperia V but you can follow same method with Xperia T but please download ftf firmware and relock file for your device if your device is not Xperia V shown below.
I solved by by this method, please clicked on link below :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068225
Another thing do not used the CredentialManagerService.apk when you download instead use on one on your device like this :-
Steps
1.Download Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip shown below
2.Clear data for Download Music Info and all Walkman apps, under settings>apps>all
3.With Root Explorer or any root managerCopy CredentialManagerService.apk from /system/app to your SD card.
4.Copy CredentialManagerService.apk from SD card to /system folder
5.Change permissions to rw-r-r
6.Move the CredentialManagerService.apk in /system folder and paste in /system/app
7.Delete .odex file for CredentialManagerService if you're on a odexed stock ROM.
8.Shutdown and flash stock kernel with Flashtool using the kernel from the FTF file of the Firmware you
are currently using by downloading the ftf file below, be sure to not wipe Data(you will loose apps)
and System(you will loose root. Uncheck wipe data and check Exclude System.
9.Relock your bootloader by downloading the FTF file below. Turn on your device.
Another thing you want to uninstall your root manager or file manager app I used, do not enable setting to root as it will keep shutting your device down when you open the file maanger app so leave it unrooted as not sure how to fix it.
So now your download music info should work.

Did anyone test it? I have the problem using the above method for tx "credentialmanagerservice.apk has stop running" or anything like that...

That's because you'll need a credentialmanager.apk from a tx that hasn't been unlocked yet
Did I help? Please press the thanks button

[Q] Is my phone a brick?

Hi, I wanted to change my rom in my xperia x8, I did this many times without any problem, but this time after install MiniCM7-2.2.1 following this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585 the phone stuck in Sony Ericsson logo and the only way to turn off the phone is unplug the batery. Another curiosity thing is when I plug the phone to the pc usb port the device turned on alone.
When I try to enter to the recovery mode pressing the back button when the SE logo appears nothing happens.
I've tried with Flashtool, Sony Ericsson Update Service and many other things, but always with the same result... NOTHING.
How can I figure out if the phone is definitely a brick without solution?
Thanks!

you performed a full wipe? and are you sure that the ones you have downloaded are compatible with the kernel you're using?

Hi, thanks for your help, let me ask you a question, in the post "Recover your dead X8/W8" says:
If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader.
and...
You have been warned, DO NOT TRY to unlock the boot loader on phones manufactured PAST 11W29!
Just to be sure, in my sticker phone says "11W19", could I try that solution?
This images are the last captures I made before reinstall the rom, may it helps:

bricks are common. nothing to worry about unless its hard brick. be sure the USB cable stays secure while you are unlocking the bootloader else you will end up with a dead X8

Pressing the yellow button on the back for about 5 to 10 seconds will indeed make it vibrate three times but after that it should be completely off.
Try it a few times. It will eventually work. Make sure the charger is not connected though!
Your phone will need to be completely off before you can start using flashtool.

Any ftf for your device model will work, but don't flash any ftf for a different model. Doing that will brick your device.
Example:
My phone is C6903 then I'll flash C6903 ftf
If I'll flash C6902 ftf to a C6903 phone then my phone will be bricked.

You can use seus (Sony Ericsson update service) for updating our reinstalling Sony phones firmware (locked bootloader only ) it helped me when i bricked my device first time

unbrIck your Sony Xperia Z C6602 / C6603 / C6606 / C6616

Today i will show you how to unbrick your Sony Xperia Z C6602 / C6603 / C6606 / C6616 and update boot. Sony Xperia Z smartphone can be bricked because of damaged boot.
PLEASE READ CHEERFULLY
If after flash your phone is dead and you do not have warranty, this tutorial is for you. Remember, during this process you can damage your phone, everything you are doing on your own risk. For 99% your phone will not be 100% functional, for example it will not be waterproof anymore if you will disassemble or reassemble it improperly.
Bricked phone symptoms:
can't power on after flash,
no lcd or led reaction for power button,
no lcd or led reaction for charger,
no lcd or led reaction if phone is connected to PC,
your PC can't detect your phone with vol-,
phone does not vibrate when holding vol+ and power together.

Click to collapse
Repair procedure:
1. Firstly connect turned off bricked phone to your PC. If phone will be detected in device manager as:
qhusb_dload device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you are lucky and this is the end of the first step for you. Just disconnect phone.
If your phone can't be detected at all, you must connect it using testpoint.
Disassemble your phone using this service manual:
remove battery and connect this point on main board to metal shield and attach usb cable.
2. Download and install the latest Gordon's Gate Flash Driver from this post: Attached File ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe 3.58MB
3. Download and run this s1tool: Attached File s1tool.exe 2.52MB
4. Download proper APPSW firmware for your Sony Xperia Z:

}
5. In S1tool choose S1 EMERGENCY MODE, press Flash button, select correct APPSW .sin_file_set file (or you can select whole firmware if you have it in order APPSW, FSP, Elabel - but you can't use .ftf flashtool files),
6. Press Testpoint READY button:
and if your phone is detected as qhusb_dload device, just attach usb cable. If not, perform all steps from point 1 (connect testpoint to GND and attach USB cable).
7. When drivers will be installed and phone will be detected, program will ask you to disconnect testpoint. Disconnect testpoint from GND and press Testpoint READY button.
8. After that phone will load emergency s1 loader, re-enumerate usb, load s1 loader, update boot in your phone and flash selected firmware.
9. Now you have to flash (if not done yet) your phone with all firmware parts (APPSW, FSP, ELABEL) using S1 FLASH MODE, phone will be fixed. Also you can flash your phone using Sony Update Service, Sony PC Companion or any other flasher like current Flashtool.
10. Time to reassembly your phone using service manual: Sony Xperia Z C66XX Service Manuals
