I'd try flashing my Xperia SP C5302 but when it was supposed to be done, I'd try turning on the phone, but it doesn't work. First it started booting with the Xperia and Sony logo, then the animation and kept looping. When I left it alone for hours, now I can't turn it on. it'll only keep flashing red light. when I plug to a charger, it goes to Green, then Red with SONY logo, then back to green. don't know what else to do.
P.S. I have the Flashtool 9.15 version and several C5302 ftf to choose from.
You should try flahing kernel only with flashtool.
You'll be able to charge your phone, and then, flashing whole FW
sent with a locked xsp running P.A.C.

how do I flash kernel only? are there instructions and files I need?
Based on my experience. That day i also got a bootloop. I follow all the step...in the end get bootloop
I did try to flash kernel again after bootloop, but can't.
In the end, i use SUS to update 266 stock rom.

This happened to me a few times when I first started out.
I kept notes in case it recurs in the future:
1. remove usb connector
2. open back cover and hold the 'OFF' pinhole for 10s until you get 3 vibration - this turns off the phone
3. press volume down, then insert usb charger (which is plugged to your pc) - this puts you into flash mode
3. open flashtool in pc and choose flashmode, and 266 kernel (or other kernel of your choice) to reflash. And follow the instruction to re-flash the working kernel
On item 1, google for where the 'OFF' hole is.
On item 3, you might want to fire up SUS or PC Companion rather than flashtool (I did not try this so don't know if it will work)

Hello,
I just broke my SE X8 after attempt of installing MiniCM7.
Basically, after removing battery to make my phone shut down, then starting it, all I get is "Sony Erricson" logo and nothing further, everything stops at "Sony Erricson" logo, I tried pressing "Back" to enter xRecovery and do system restore to fix everything, but I can't even get into xRecovery.
Please assist!
Did you ...
a) ... even read the 1st post in the MiniCM7 dev thread?
b) ... unlock your bootloader (WARNING! You may hard brick your phone when it's in a certain manufacturing date range) and install the required kernel?
From the symptoms you describe it doesn't seem that way.
Also (it's just being posted several hundred times) ...
XRECOVERY DOES NOT WORK ON CUSTOM KERNELS!
EDIT: I already posted how to resolve the problem HERE
Options for fixing?

Thanks for answer!
How do I enable USB connetion if I can't get till it?
You don't need to enable "USB-Debugging"
Depending on which way you choose you ...
EDIT
a) ... need to unlock the boot loader through the required tools with the phone being in Flash-Mode
b) ... need to Flash the Kernel through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
"Flash Mode" means:
- Turn the phone OFF!
- DISCONNECT the USB cable FROM your computer
- Launch Flashtool
- Select the file you want to flash
- Once Flashtool requests you to you press the Back button and KEEP IT PRESSED while you plug the USB cable into the computer.
This has nothing to do with "USB-Debugging".
Perfect!
Managed everything trough
"c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode"
Thank you very much!

Yes. Use pcc or flash back to stock using flashtool. Lots of threads here to help you out. Search.

you need to flash kernal and then flash rom.i suggest you download sony ericsson x8 stock kernal and stock rom first.then download sony ericsson flashing tool.open flash tool directory and open firmwares folder and paste stock kernal and stock firmware(.ftf).now open flashtool and select flash and select kernal,now a dialog will appear saying to press back button of ur xd,press back button and connect ur usb to phone(dont stop pressing back unless percentage is shown),done.now do it again with firmware
Can s/o please point me in the right direction? I have a brand new Xperia TL. I followed the directions on the All-In-One Readme thread to root the phone, which came with locked bootloaders. Then I tried flashing the rom- [AOKP][JB] Xperia T - KangXperiaProject - [milestone 1].
Then the phone turned off, and when I turned it on all that happened was the Sony boot logo came up, then a fuzzy/staticky screen with random colors, then the phone shuts off, and then turns on again, and then the same thing. The battery isn't removable so I can't do a battery pull.
I managed to get the phone into Flash mode for Flashtool, tried flashing a kernel, but nothing happened. I tried all the different key combos to get into recovery, but no dice. I was actually lucky that once it remained stable long enough to flash a kernel, but usually when it's connected to the comp it won't stay on long enough to do much of anything. I also tried accessing the phone with an ADB shell, but that won't read the phone.
I also searched and searched and searched for possible solutions, but can't seem to find any posts (on XDA or otherwise) that deal with this specific set of issues.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!
You cannot flash custom rooms that are not stock based with a locked bootloader.
That is because you cannot flash custom kennels with a locked bootloader.
Flash a stock ftf with flashtool to fix your phone.
To do a virtual battery pull then press and hold the power button and volume up button until the phone vibrates

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Thanks for the info. I tried flashing a stock ftf (I think the LT30_7.0.A.3.195_kernel.ftf you provide in the readme thread), but then it just want back to bootlooping.
Is there a different one I should flash? Or is there something else I could do? Meanwhile, I'll try flashing again when I get home today.

I flashed the ftf again- the phone still bootloops, but sometimes it show an image of a phone and the triangle with the ! in the middle- which I know is Download Mode on my old phone (Samsung Captivate). Is this what's supposed to happen? If yes, what's the next step? If not, what else can I do?
Thanks so much gregbradley!

TL version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33744425&postcount=56
Thank you gregbradley and hkjr.
I was having trouble flashing an ftf b/c the phone kept shutting off in the middle of a flash. What I did was flash (the T version) piece-meal; I checked "Exclude" for all the components except the 1st, flashed, then checked "Exclude" for all except the 2nd, flashed, etc., and IT WORKED!!
Then I flashed the TL version ftf, rooted it, and all was good. Now it was time to flash a custom rom. I flashed recoba23's Xperia Curiosity V1.2 Rom (for locked bootloaders). That worked. Then I wanted to take a look at TiMiN8R's XperimenT rom. The phone told me that the file finished downloading. I thought it was a little smaller than indicated on the download page, but the phone said the download was complete. Flashed it. Then BRICK. Dunno if it's because the full file didn't download, but now ALL I get is the Sony splash screen (no bootloop, just stays like that). I can't get into recovery and I can't get the phone into flash mode, although the computer does recognize it when I plug it in and I can access the files on the phone.
Any ideas what's going on??
same problem please help =(
I too have the same problem, stuck at "SONY" screen can't go to recovery mode, can't connect to pc, i did the power+up volume button, turns off but if i turn it on same result stuck at sony... I followed this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020796 for locked bootloader, i have the att xperia TL.
I flashed the generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf
Rooted using Bin4ry's method
Install CMW for locked bootloaders
Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM(STOCK ROOTED 7.0.A.3.195)
and when im going to flash the flashable CMW, i cant find it in my ext sd.. i put it with stock rooted 7.0.A.3.195.zip and superuser.zip, it says "file not found" on recovery after i flashed the stock 7.0.A.3.195.zip so i decided to reboot.. and this happened. Is there a fix to this please help us :crying:
OK, I got my phone back up and running! For me, it just seemed to be a matter of playing around with the buttons and the plugging/unplugging the phone from the computer and/or charging it, and eventually it went into flash mode. I was able to flash stock kernel, root and apply CWM, then made sure that I downloaded the whole file for whichever ROM I wanted, flashed it, and all was good!
fatedcircle9, just try playing around with it. If you can't flash the new CWM from recovery right after you install the ROM, just reboot the phone, attach it to the computer, and install CWM like you did before. At least that's what worked for me....
Hello all!
Ok so i just got my daughter the c5306 sp on virgin about 2 weeks ago. Her friend decides to show her the mcafee app and inputs a fake email and pin.
the phone is now LOCKED!
Literally can't do anything NOR can i find a hard reset option. i tried several key combination hoping for android recovery but NADA!
And the pc companion, useless in this situation as it needs me to unlock the phone for it to work... oh and that reset button on the back... crud!
any help, anyone know how to get to android recovery?
any help is much appreciated
the sony xperia range don't have a stock recovery built in unless cwm recovery was installed and rooted before your daughter was shown/given the phone.
If it was try shutting phone down then restart and start pressing (repeatedly) vol down to enter recovery but this will only help if a backup was made which you can restore if no backup exists you to follow the next step.
If not you need to shut down phone then either use sus,PCC,flashtools to reflash the phone.
I would recommend flashtools and find the ftf you need on Sp forum then use this to get phone back working

Omg this is amazing help!
Ok so I have flash tools, is there a specific way to use it, the instructions are a little unclear.
So SP forums and get stock tft to flash with flash tools? Ok I'll try to get ahold of it! Thank you

You can find the stock .ftf files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
You download and open flashtool (from here depending on your PC OS :http://flashtool.net/ )
Shut your phone down
From flashtool press the lighning button
Then select flashmode and press ok
Select the .245.ftf file (its the latest kernel released by Sony that you downloaded from the link above)
And then press flash
then it will open a new window showing a phones a usb cable and a back button
With your phone powered down you hold the "Volume Down" button down and while holding plug the Usb cable to your phone
It will take some time flashing the data and then it will say "Phone Connected in flashmode"
Disconect and boot the phone
This procces could Hard brick your phone so be careful and follow the steps!!!
If you are not willing to take the chance just do it with SUS
open it then go to update phone/tablet
fix phone/tablet and follow the instructions on the screen
But it will be ok i flashed kernel 4 times to my phone (for rooting it)
Good Luck
you can use SUS to reflash the fimware

Oh crap i didnt, my cellphone doesnt charge and doesnt power on so flashtool cant detect my xperia sp
EDIT: OK so i let the phone battery die, now when i connect the phone its charging but after like 5 minutes the red led turns off, plus when i connect it to my pc it instantly disconnects
I had similar issue when updating to 266 FW.
Let your phone 30min on wall charger
Try to flash only kernel with flashtool
If it success, you may be able to charge your phone, and after that make a full flash with flashtool.
It took me 2 days to solve the "brick".
If Flashtool doesen't prompt, try pushing the back power off button when entering in flash mode (vol down)
Hello Guys..
I need your help... Problem with my Xperia z C6603.
phone able to:
Vibrate 1 and 3x when power and + button used.
With led notification.
Problems:
can't turn on my phone
when charging Until sony logo only then turn off
when turn on sony logo and red notification then turn on
I Tried:
Flashing many times already-still the same problem
Emma- Still the same
SUS-Cant use...notify until July 1 etc.
PC companion-unable to update error
S1tool- error 01000000
What should i do, what is the problem?
Need help please..followed all flashing instructions in xda and other forums
Try Uninstalling PC Companion and make sure all PC Companion files are deleted in your computer. Download the latest version and reinstall it. Also is your phone unlocked? And if so did you use a program called S1tool? If so uninstall that program and make sure all of S1tools files are deleted.
Now try successfully fixing your phone through PC Companion.
Done that Already.
Still no progress...when pressing the Switch Button 3x red light blinking, when charging it Sony logo comes out then Turn Off.
T_T
How did it happen?
Have you unlocked bootloader?
If not and you have TA partition backup, you can give a try to unlock your bootloader via fastboot and then flash any custom ROM

And remember to have all whipe options ticked in flashtools
Hope I.helped
