Hi, i got a really serious problem. I unlocked and put a custom rom (avatar) on my brand new Xperia V. Everyting was fine then i decided, that i need to root it too, so i followed a page wich i cant find unfortunately, and the result was a bootloop. I didnt really care about it, i decided to solve it later, but it drained all the battery during that time, and i used flashtool to put another kernel (Xperia.V.TWRP.Kernel.9.0.1.D.0.10.elf). Now when i put my phone without the battery it tryes to turn on every 15 sec (i see the boot screen), if i put battery in it shows its out of juice then after a few minits the led turns instantly green, and the phone turns itself on, and it runs out of battery in less than 20 sec and this repeats. Please help i really dont know what to do :crying: (might have time in fastboot mode to flash some things but i dont know really what i should do)
Can't you go full stock via flashtool?

i dont know how to do that i tryed to do that before the TWRP kernel, but it was not the sctock i guesss coz it had a bootloop (i really dont know im a noob ), i put the TWRP so i can install stuff from sd card. I really have to be fast before it turns off, so if u know a guide that tells exactly how to do that, i ll give it a try, but i didnt find anything like that unfortunately , and i dont really trust this random guides anymore...
I fixed my xperia several times through flashtool...its very easy actually....
1.download flashtool if u don't already have it.
2 download stock .tft file (stock rom wtv version) // // // // (of course for your device)
3.press bolt icon-flashmode.
4.pick the .tft file u put in flashtool's firmware folder where iu installed..
5.wait to prepare everything and give u plug usb screen.
6.while connecting the usb to pc press and hold the flashmode button on device (arc s-back key,xperia s -vol down) so check for ur device which key.
7.wait until it finishes then u can unplug and reboot.
Photos-vids-music dont get erased, other yes, and ull have a stock phone like u first bought.(includes kernel change to stock)

firt the red led shows, that the battery is empty, then it is charging (still red) then after like 1-2 min it turns green, and the phone turns itself on, tryes to boot, but battery gets empty (i dont know if it does really the led is just red again), and the phone turns off (the time is getting shorter i think btw), the main question if this cannot be fixed is, that i caused this by installink some custom rom or kernel, or the battery really is dead (wich would be really wierd since the phone is only 3 days old), in that case should i try relock it and bring it back to the store?

I unplugged my phone when the flashtool told me to.
Now i can't boot my phone, can't even get to the SE logo.
I tried everything i could found.
SEUS, PCC <- neither worked.
As for flashing, same error, turn on unknown sources and debugging.
Help please..

Well tried everything.
I think it's in the 'press back button' mode, cause it automatically bypasses the pop up screen in flash tool.
I reinserted the battery several times as well. Same thing, vibrates continuously if i kept pressing the power button. Oh and the green led flashes when it's vibrating.

Tried everything in the thread..
...i recomend you to retry everithing... that is all we have...
(unplug everithing from batery,sd card and sim card)
only usb cable....
it seams you are in flash mode...
one time i manage to boot xrecovery from my bricked phone after many reboots, if you do it install rom from there.
also try from other pc, from other usb input on pc.
it dont sound like full brick... i think
try every thing even if you are sure it will fail.
But i can't see my SE logo.. I'm guessing that my screen is somehow corrupted?
Oh and i can't boot up at all.
The vibration and green led light comes up continuously if i kept on pressing the power button.
Do not worry... you just need to update your phone with Sony Ericsson's update service. If you had search the general section you could have found how to fix your phone... take a look at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7
I think the best choice is flashtool.
You just download the original firmware that you want (1.6/1.6 chinese/2.0/2.1/2.1 chinese) and flash it directly.
Flashtool also has the advantage that you can flash the baseband (if you already have iton your PC) right after the firmware.

I saw from another thread that if the SD card was used for App2SD before, it can fuxk up the phone after falling back to stock rom.
Mind to take out the SD, or reformat it before start up the phone?
i think, you should retry SEUS method again. i bricked my phone last time and SEUS seems did not work for me. i tried for few time until somehow it works.

A SD card with two partitions, can negatively affect when install a custom ROM on the phone?
If so, I think I know what's going on here...

Hi, i got a problem with my x8 . I tried to install new rom on my x8 ( i have done it before and succeeded), but this time i cant get passed from SE logo, i cant get into xrecovery, and when i try to turn on to flash mode, it turns on flash mode like for about 10 seconds then turns off and throws SE logo on the screen . I've tried to repair with Sony Update service but still throws out of flash mode, also with flashtool . If anybody knows whats wrong, all the help would be appreciated .
take out the battery, wait 5-7 seconds, put the battery and hold the back button and then plug in the usb cable, maybe this will help

so after a new update to the cm9 i found my phone a bit slow, so i decided to downgraded it to the latest cm7 version with the matching alf kernel. after the downgrade i found my phone acting very strangely.
after turning it on, the kernel and cm logo goes on, then it turns itself off, then again, again and again until the battery drains. i cant even go into recovery mode, so i cannot use my phone obviously.
can you help me with some advice?

Connect your phone is flashing mode by:
1. Keep ur mobile connected to the pc all the times.
2. Remove the back cover and the battery.
3. Wait for 10-15 seconds.
4. Press and HOLD the back button while putting the battery back in.
5. Launch PCC.
If this didnt work out, try to shortcircuit ur phone(it wont damage the hardware) by a dc charger.

not going to recovery in alfs &nAa kernel is "IMPOSSIBLE"
Both kernels include recovery so it should go to recovery .......
Reflash kernel / then full wipe {(important)+dalvik & system wipe}
U must always wipe when u upgrade or downgrade form ics/jb (cause whole system is different)

this is what the OP said.....if the phone reboots even before entering recovery then he cannot recovery...
and under some circumstances phone wont enter recovery... one is to be on ics on oxydo kernel and then flash back alfs with the ics rom... try entering recovery.. it will reboot.

Install xperia z drivers,you find it in flashtool/drivers
Click on flash,choose the ftf and wait the the pop up telling you to connect your phone by holding volume down and connecting the usb.

Sounds to me like you haven't flashed the kernel required for 4.2.2 (I am presuming you were on a stock/custom Sony ROM before)
If you flash 4.2.2 you also need to flash the kernel specific to the ROM you've tried to flash using fastboot commands.
To do that you need to have the correct XZ drivers installed, and have adb/fastboot working

ok firtst of all i realize im a dumbass....this is my second phone in the past 2 days, i bricked the first one and was lucky to get a second free of charge, ok heres what i did...after rooting i tried to install a cool boot animation from rom toolbox, after rebooting to check it out, it stops and wont get passed that screen, after a few seconds i cane here a sound but thats it..it will not do anything, i have the c with a locked bootloader..AGAIN I KNOW IM A DUMBASS SO PLEASE DONT BERAITE ME...is there a way to fix this? i dont care if i lose root, this phone is fine with out it:crying::crying::crying:
Okay...first off dont do anything to your phone if you dont know 100% that it will work or is compatible with it. But therr should be a way to fix it
First download flashtool and install it and when everything is installed download a ftf file (its a stock rom) you dont need to be rooted or have your bootloader unlocked. Load the ftf file in flashtool once its done downloading then when the little box comes up, put your phone into flash mode. To.put your phone into flash mode hold the volume down button for 2 seconds then plug your usb cable in while still holding your volume down button and hold it until the little box disappears and it starts to flash the when its done unplug your phone then voilà brand new just like out of the box
Hope I helped you.
