I was running a custom plain AOSP Rom.
Then i wanted to flash another ROM, so i went to recovery(TWRP), after the full wipe, including, System, data, cache and dalvik cache, I accidentally rebooted, now the phone wont boot up, stays at sony logo, which makes sense since it has no system.
The main ISSUE is that it wont go into either Fastboot(Volume up + Cable) or FlashMode(Volume Down + Cable). So i cant flash any kernel or recovery.
i have roms in my SD but there is no recovery ..... WHAT TO DO ?
Its a Black Useless brick right now.

But are you trying this while the phone is off? Flashmode/fastboot mode doesn't get wiped with a Full Wipe in recovery, or at least not by wiping any of the partitions you mentioned.

No i am trying with that phone off, (also the phone doesnt turn on, just gets stuck at sony when i turn it on like there is no recovery or OS), but i am doing it the right way, phone off, Volume up + cable insert, it should be detected in fastboot mode with a blue light and i would flash a recovey img through flashtool , but nothings happening NO lights and NO detection on pc whatsoever, i have done this many times before, on my X8 and also on this T.
I have no idea how is there no fastboot and no recovery ? what could have happened ?
Plus i have noticed nothing also happens when i plug it in on charge doesnt even budge !

Hi guys,
a friend of mine has a huge problem with his rooted P970 (android 2.3): after installing an update, the system only boots into ClockworkMod, rebooting from there only goes into the CWM Recovery again. Holding VOL-UP when the phone is connected to the computer and even holding HOME+VOL-DOWN will boot the CWM. VOL-UP within CWM doesn't work as well. Factory Reset and installing a ROM from CWM doesn't make a difference either.
So we tried to install a firmeware via SmartFlash (V20N). But the problem is that the COM-port only appears for few seconds until the CMW is completely booted, than it vanishes again. So we really have now idea what to do next.
Thanks for your help!
You need to pull out the battery, insert it again, DONT POWER ON THE PHONE! Now hold VOL+ Button, then plug in the USB cable and you should see the software update screen, then use smartflash. OR in CWM, wipe data, cache, in advanced wipe dalvik, try to install a custom ROM like boype's CM7 kang, have fun

Did you just try to flash? What changed since you shut it off last time? Is the battery charged? Need some more background information.

flash the stock rom from twrp, then use flash data, so now my phone dont have the back up, then i restart it, it stopped at the htc.logo, and cant get into the system.
Press and hold power button + volume down until phone restarts to enter recovery. I'm not familiar with TWRP but you should have the option to push install a zip (pick another ROM, Trickdroid or ARHD are both stable) from fastboot . Verify MD5 after downloading and before flashing, clear cache and make sure you don't select any options. If you want to go back to the Telus rom after that then put the nadroid from here onto the phone and flash via recovery.
I unlocked bootloader and successfully installed CWM recovery and wiped data and formated sdcard. Powered off with the option within recovery. Now the phone does not boot, no led, no vibration, no device detect when plugged to PC. What should i do? Tried hard reset, no response

there is no vibration upon those button combination, i have hooked it to pc and ran flashtool but it doesnt detect any device. even when charging through wall, there is no led. i have even left it overnight on charger
It's hard bricked just like my you must send it to services to replace motherboard there isn't more way to fix this problem
So I was about to move from CrystalPA back to the latest FXP CM11 build, i backed things up, went into clockworkmod, did all the needed wipes and was about to flash when I realized I downloaded the honami version instead. So I was downloading the right version but the download took about an hour, i left my phone in CWM while the download was going and by the time it was finished, my phone died. Now I left it on charge overnight so it should have been fully charged but I dont think it did much charging. I got to being able to switch it on and seeing the sony logo but because I'd already done all the wipes (system, data, cache, dalvik) it couldnt boot. I then used the button on the back to switch off and tried to enter recovery by holding vol + when i switched on, then i tried vol -, then i tried the camera button. Nothing happened, just sony logo then a black screen. After a few attempts, the phone is now flashing red when I try to turn it on, and when I plug it into charge, its just a constant red light (brighter than normal charge light).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to revive my phone?
Thanks
Did you try to push vol -/+ buttons a few times instead of holding them?

I didnt, and i cant now because its just doing red lights only, Ive managed to get it into flashmode so im going to just restore it back to full factory with flashtool and just start again. Hope it works, the flashtool log is saying "device: unknown"
Edit: So the flashing worked, got back to 254 firmware with the old FTF file I still had, I then had to make my own 205 firmware FTF with XperiaFirm and Flashtool, I then flashed the new 205 firmware because Sony PC Companion wouldn't update my phone as its unlocked (i think?). Now all I have to do is install CWM, root and then get CM reinstalled.
I warn everyone - do not leave your phone in recovery when its running low on battery! youll have to start from square 1 if it dies!
Don't need to reflash ftf, just extract boot.img from cm zip and flash on flashtool, then just enter recovery and install cm
Use Lucas's method in the future.
Flashing a recovery-ready kernel is easier you know Anyhow, glad to know your SP worked again.
edit: fixed it, just flashed a stock FTF, i'll dot the whole process again later on and hope this time it works out
You can close teh thread (i've tried to delete it but can't find the option)
I've just checked that I can boot my phone and recovery works. But for instance when i try to put service mode it gives an error with IMEI
edit: i've booted to the other recovery (using volume up) and installed the pre-rooted FW again. Shut down and tried again the flashmode process but still no luck, red and quick green light. After booting the phone, it seems to work basically, but wifi not working, it doesn't turn on.
What should the next step be?
The computer does not recognize the phone when my connect it to the USB port, not even charge. The only thing that happens is a flash of red light then green light. Same thing if phone is shut down when i connect the usb cable, red flash, then sony screen appears, then green light, and finally it vibrates two times before showing the level of battery, but without actually charging it.
Anf if i try a Vol Down+Power when in standby and connect with usb cable, it shows a quick red then green flash, and then nothing.
Ok i fixed that problem apparently the USB cable decided to stop working...
Now i have another problem as I decided to install the deodexed ROM and now my phone gets stuck at the sony screen and i can't even boot to recovery.
What i did to install:
Boot to recovery using Volume Up (PhilZ)
Prepare to install new rom (which formats Data, cache, etc)
Install ROM form SDcard1
Everything went fine but at the end it says "root lost or something" I put yes, then rebooted to system, and got stuck on sony screen....
What did i do wrong and how to fix it??
Thanks for the help!
