Xperia T bricked ?

Hi there,
I messed up with an Xperia T LT30p a friend gave me...
I manage to install CWM after flashing 7.0.A1.303 with flashtool.
I think the bootloader was locked and I tried to flash PACMAN ROM straight forward.
Tring to reboot... impossible to get anything on the screen...
When I long press the power boutun it vibrates but thats it.
When I connect it to my computer nothing,.. no usb detection.. flashtooll says device disconnected.
Any ideas ? What should I try to revive it ?

I've had this problem and unbricked it (but I'm having permissions issues, but I digress).
The following assumes: a) You have Windows and b) you already have a stock FTF downloaded (if not head to the first page of the Q&A)
Just follow these steps:
Unplug phone
Open Flashtool
Click the Flash button (with the lightning bolt)
Click Flashmode
Click on the FTF that you have downloaded, and select all Wipe options
Click OK
When the dialog with the animations of the bottom of a phone and the USBs appears:
Hold the volume down key until your LED lights green and vibrates
And plug in while holding volume down
Wait for reboot
Enjoy!
Let me know if you succeed or if you get any errors.
And, you know, hit thanks if you end up triumphant.

Maybe it's the battery will give it another try but freaky, I thoght it was completely dead but after keep trying..

You can not flash Pac man Rom with a locked bootloader.
You need to long press both powerc and volume up buttons until the phone vibrates, keep holding then until it vibrates 3 more times.
Then run pccompanion and run software update, choose the repair option and then attach the phone in flash mode

Thx for the help!:good:

I confirm some crazy file permission problem after recovering from my mess.
Is there a quick way to wipe the internal memory ?
I'm now stuck in 4.0.4, unlocked bootloader can't root with the restore method..
any ideas ?
thx again

If you have a unlocked bootloader just flash a insecure kernel to get root.
No need to use bin4rys method.
Just go ahead and flash doomlords kernel from the thread in the dev section

Well, that is something I have yet to encounter. Try doing some research on bricks, b/c mine was a soft brick, and yours just may be a hard brick. I'll do some searching tell you what I find.
EDIT: Ok, ignore me. gregbradley knows his shtuff so listen to him.

I fix my permission issue by simply wiping the internal memory
I then managed to root the phone easily.
Now I struggle to install TWRP with Goo manager
I might try to flash a recovery via fastboot
Can someone tell me how to boot in recovery then ?
Many thanks

You rbest bet is to install a custom kernel with recovery included, there are plenty about in the dev section.
If you have not unlocked the bootloader you need to install cmw for locked bootloaders. Find the thread in the dev section.
Finally read post 2 and 3 in the all in one thread to find out how to enter recovery

I'm bloody stuck on .303
Anytime I try to flash a kernel I end with grey triangle with a blue bar on the butom
Then only thing I can do is flash back .303 ftf
I can get to CWM 4 ICS / I can't get to TWRP 4440
Ican't flash .489 OTA get error, same with PC companion...
I'm I stupid ?
Is there a clean way to get from ICS to JB ?
Again Greg and everyone many thanks!

When you get the triangle just wait, it will eventually boot, but it may take a long time...
plus if you flash a kernel you need to be on the correct rom for that kernel before booting.
can you tell me the exact steps you have done including the links to the files you have flashed

[Q] What the **** am I supposed to do?

I'm unable to flash kernel. I downloaded PC Companion and upgraded my software to 12.0.A.2.254.
I followed like 100 tutorials how to flash kernel but it never works!
Can you guys please explain how to do it. Tutorials here suck, half of them say you need to enable USB debugging and half of them say you don't. I'm really confused.
Here's what I did:
1. Fresh install 12.0.A.2.254.
2. Install Flashtool (0.9.11.0)
3. Click on lightning icon
4. Choose older kernel.
5. Click Flash;
6. Turn off device and connect it in Flashing mode. (Volume down)
7. Flashtool says "Finished".
And then when I want to see what Kernel I am using it stays at 12.0.A.2.254. (No change)
Help please... :angel:

Have you installed the adb drivers by any chance from flashtool? Should be in my pc then your hard drive and find the flashtool folder, there should be a driver's folder install those and then repeat the process again

I installed fastboot and flashmode drivers.
I have C5303.

Right then open flashtool click the flashmode option then select your desired kernel ftf, turn the device off and then hold volume down and insert usb, keep holding down for a while till it starts to flash,

i think the kernel version in stock ROM gave an error...
read the report on the flashtool... i think its already flashed...
if not try close the sony companion COMPLETELY then try again

Which tutorial should I follow?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
1. Should I leave PC Companion on during flashing or shut it down?
2. USB debugging during flashing, on or off?
If you have more tips feel free to post them.

One more. Its not Kernel version. When you flash another Kernel this line stays so. Look at Kernel date after and before flash other one.

Even within the Q&A.. What happened to searching forums...?

If you are looking for the simple doomlord's exploit - no.
For those those who are willing to downgrade, root and then install its own modified (slightly) system file (Should work for those with locked BL too):

In C:\Flashtool\drivers you will find a .exe file. Start it and scroll to the bottom to flashmode and fastboot drivers. These need to be installed aswel

If you wipe system, then guess what, you just wiped your system.
Hard reset your phone and flash a stock FTF again (Flashtool should work) or repair your phone using pccomapanion.
You will have lost root as well as all other settings etc.
Once you have repaired the phone, install recovery again and try your backup. If you were on .691 with dual recovery, it will fail because it does not mount system.

No.....150 Gb Free Space available !! i am really worried

Also try rebooting and preparing the file again.
Make sure the download is not corrupt by redownloading it.
You can also add it to another drive other than C:\Flashtool
You just then have to browse to it

Then the problem is your FTF. Re-download should fix the problem. A little tips from me:
Try to find an FTF download link which support download resume (like Google docs), and download it using IDM. IDM support md5 checksum, so in case of error download, it will resume the download and checking it's md5sum, so you won't be missed.

While you re-download the ftf, try this
1. Backup your FTF file on C:\flashtool\firmware to another directory
2. Uninstall flashtool
3. Check if folder C:\flashtool has removed, if it still there, delete the folder
4. Reinstall flashtool, now point your installation directory to another drive, example on D: drive
5. Now copy your FTF to D:\flashtool\firmware
6. Reflash

If you would like to try, I suggest you retry to install the drivers.
You'll need to run the installer located within Flashtool install directory. It seems you are currently run Windows. Assuming you did not change the install path, you can find Flashtool in the root of your local hard disk. Navigate to C:\Flashtool\drivers and then execute the installer there in. Tick "Flashmode drivers" and "Fastboot drivers" cause obviously you'll require it. Scroll down a bit and tick "Common drivers for Viskan board". This will install proper flash drivers.

Afterwards for the exclusive driver for your SP (I am assuming you're on stock), Open PC Companion (install it if you don't have it) then connect your Xperia SP with your cable. This will install the drivers for your SP. If you have done this before, you actually already have the drivers installed.
Note that if above methods are well executed by you, you'll find out on the first connect, flashtool will detect the phone partially and somehow later it disconnects. Don't worry, somehow through this process your computer might be installing additional drivers. Retry to connect your Xperia SP.

NOTE! Before you attempt to use Flashtool, make sure adb daemon is killed, and PC Companion (or Sony Update Service) is closed.

@zenki1
LOL you must turn off the device, hold the volume button, then plug in, in order to successfully connect your device in flashmode or fastboot.

it's easy to create a nandroid backup in case you want to return to the previous condition. Nandroid backup creates a full backup of your device (literally everything, kernel, /boot, /data, /system) for you to restore in some manner of time. Nandroid backup makes it useful when you're looking forward to test a ROM, or just to do some quick jumps through other ROM, without losing anything and saves a lot of time.
Well, it is far more easier to jump across ROM if you find a ROM unsuitable. For instance, AOKP didn't work well for you, you can again reboot to recovery (normally vol + during phone startup), wipe everything, and flash another ROM zip file. Most ROM will include recovery with them so this will not be a problem at all.

Where should I check for adb daemon? Task manager under process or elsewhere?

Yes. As far as I remember it should be adb.exe or something like that. Sorry, I use Linux as a main OS. And I used Flashtool on windows for like, 8 months ago!
