Phone bricked

Hey guys.. i think i have bricked my phone
I have the c6602 model and have a unlockable bootloader but left it locked. I have rooted it using goroh_kuns method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
then put CWM for locked bootloaders on it using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
then flashed this stock based kernel ROM through CWM without wiping the old one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903
but now my phone starts up, and reboots automatically, resulting in a loop. I can not go into the CWM recovery anymore because you have to do it through pc everytime while your phone is on.
Personally i think its Superuser from the previous rom and SuperSU from the new rom mixing up and resulting in the loop boot
Can somebody help please..?

Did you try to enter to CWM recovery by pressing volume key while booting to see if the recovery is working

yes it does not work, the led becomes blue after holding power + volume up it vibrates thrice x 2 then i continue volume up and the led turns blue but nothing really happens, i think its the download mode?

If you have the blue led working this means that it has the fastboot mod working - press VOLUME UP + PLUG INTO PC(not power)
try to switch off the device then press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting to pc = flash mod
If you have one of theese working you can always repair your device

[Q] Really confused

So I'm trying to flash a custom ROM but my phone either doesn't want me to or I've misread something.
I'm running the C6603 rooted w/ locked bootloader and CWM recovery 6.0.2.8 for locked BLers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363 and lastly the stock ROM
I'm trying to install Avatar ROM but for some reason I can't get into recovery. The page says pressing volume up when the green light flashes while powering up will go into recovery but I can't get there. When I do it nothing happens. I've tried pressing and holding both volume up/down to no avail.
My bootloader also seems to be acting weird as when I boot into it it's just a black screen with my LED lit up blue.
If anyone could help me out that would be great. This isn't my first flash but this one is bamboozling me. Also, yes the button does actually work.

You need to unlock your bootloader before flashing AOSP/CM based roms as they require a custom kernel.

Black screen + Blue LED = Fastboot mode = Your bootloader. This is totally normal, nothing to worry about.
Anyway, there is no way for you to install avatar rom, as it needs an unlocked bootloader in order to install the cm kernel. If you can unlock it, then do so.

Once you HAVE unlocked your bootloader (You'll lose BRAVIA engine 2 btw) there is still a problem getting into CWM...
A user on the topic fixed it so you'll have to do a bit of searching within the topic to find it. But installing CWM from the OP will mean you can't get into it on the latest firmware.
Another work-around is to use TWRP. You can reboot into the recovery from the app provided but if your phone messes up and won't boot you can't get into recovery to flash a backup.

Second post from bottom!

Thanks all
Thanks for the help all. I've thanked you all.
Just to make sure I've got this right can I use Doomlords kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172888
Once I've flashed the kernel do I already have recovery installed (as Doomlords' adv it has both CWM and TWRP (how does dual recovery work anyway?)) or do I still have to manually flash through fastboot?
If anyone can show me another kernel to use or the correct one that would be great.
Cheers all

If you've unlocked your bootloader then yes, you can use Doomkernel.
It's best to flash the Doomkernel zip in your existing recovery rather than in fastboot.
After flashing Doomkernel you will have dual recovery, it's basically the same as normal recovery except for the volume up key is CWM and volume down key is TWRP.

Hey I am having a boot and boot recovery issue

I think I have a unique problem here. I tried to install the Holo Blur Rom using bootstrap. After I flashed it my bootup is looping and all attempts to get into Recovery mode are fail.
When I do the Power+Vol+ I get a screen with Android on it's back and the ! but nothing ever happens. I have also tried getting into the Bootstrap menu but that doesnt work either, it goes into boot up.
Do you think there is a way to save my phone still?
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Rooted
##EDIT##
I figured it out, I did not know you had to press Pwr+ Vol+ Vol- all at once. I thought it was just Pwr+ Vol+ only. Thanks!

With an unlocked bootloader, you should use CWM or Touch Recovery, nothing else as these custom roms need one or the other to install.

[Q] Help!! Stucked on bootloop i guess. Flashing cwm problem

I just unlocked my xpz's bootloader and then i flashed cwm..

I assume you want to install a custom rom, right? Just flash the zip file in cwm.. Otherwise flash a stock ftf with flashtool. You can also use pre rooted ones

Hard brick z3 compact - flashtool does not work

hello all friends.
I have a hard brick in my Z3c ... rather than install a full rom, I installed an update to 135 MB, and had given full wipe the system the device simply does not care anymore.
FlashTool does not work, already tried everything and it will not.
Error of drivers but they are installed all the drivers ... ok.
I TWRP on the device but can not access it for flashing back up what I had done.
Simply do not have access into the Z3c ...
Some logical solution to this problem ??
Grateful to all the friends who can help.

Unlocked bootloader?
Is the front panel led still working?
Can't you see the Sony logo?
If you press power + volume. up for some seconds, does the phone vibrate?

Fastboot mode?

Nope, it's just a soft-brick
Press power + vol.up until it vibrates 3 times.
Then flash a stock firmware with Flashtool. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706

I had that exact problem when installing Cyanogenmod a couple of days ago, realized there was no internal storage anymore so i flashed a pre root zip and got my files back.
I was using XZDR, I think it is just a problem with the latest twrp...
