So I flashed the cm11 ROM for my sony Xperia Z aaaaand, The phone won't turn on at all. Then I realised that I flashed whole .zip package, without extracting boot.img kernel. So I flashed whole thing without kernel and now my phonewon't turn on at all (I know I am idiot). It just showing a red ledlight whereverI am conneting it to charger or PC.
Can u please help me guys? What should I do?
Well, you know the .zip package that you can download from the cm site? There is a boot.img file inside. But insted of extracting it and flash it by the flashtool on the computer, I flashed the whole package (rom + kernel which were inside one .zip file) by cwm on my phone.
[EDIT]
I am trying to repair it by updating the software via Pc companion. I'll let you know if it's worked or not where it will finish downloading update.
@Saguri please download any ROM made for xperia z..pull out the kernel (boot.IMG) connect your phone in fast boot mod(by pressing the volume up key first and then connecting the USB) blue led will light up...now flash the boot.IMG with the help of flashtools ...downland any ftf file for xperia z
..flash it via flash tool but in flash mod and u will get your phone revived back

threat closed.i'd solve my problem.
I had the same problem as well, but I flashed the original 2.1.1.A.0.6 rom and everything was good. You can get it from this thread, within the Firmwares folder. Just download the zip file and extract it all out, run Flashtool, go to Advanced and then Bundle Creation. Select all the SIN files from where you extracted them, name the .ftf file anything, and then you're done. Just flash it on your phone and you should be good to go. That's how I fixed mine, anyway

Can anyone help me?
Flash stock kernel and use seus
Sent from my X8 using XDA
To the best of my knowledge, you can flash kernels only via flashtool. CWM won't help. And the kernel .ftf file must have a loader.sin in addition to a kernel.sin when viewed via flashtool.
I remember a day I flashed my X8 37 times within 24hours! At times, it would get temperamental & fail to boot beyond the SE logo screen for reasons it alone knows. Cheer up. And get flashing!
Hmmm... i dont want to use SEUS because by then i would have to reroot and even unlock bootloader again i tried couple of times to flash the stock kernel but my phone just stuck at the se logo

Which kernel are you tried to flash? You can use flashtool to flash your kernel, and install ROM with CWM! If you are flashing aNa kernel, CWM is already built-in. If you still struck at SE logo, mean your kernel is not flash yet.

Well, there's actually still ADB but it carries a certain amount of risk. With flashtool, most of that is obviated. If you need more information, scout the Android Development section for related topics.
Search in the Flashtool post the list of official firmwares, and flash one of these (yes, only that )
If the links are dead, send me a PM and I will give you the ftf that I have
I do have the .ftf file and flashed it.. but my phone will just stuck there
guys, need help here.. my phone is softbricked and i want to use Flash tool to flash my stock 2.1 back to my W8... I tried SEUS and PCC it says no new software available to my phone wiered it worked for me earlier.
Please advise how to flash it via Flashtool and also links for the stock rom ftf.. if you have
hey....first thing u must download the flash tools and the .ftf files of your w8.....search for it.....in the forum you willl get if u don't pm me.......
Now, first thing is to install flashtool and update if provided.....
Second thing if the downloaded firmware files are .sin files put them at any folder and run flash tools the click on ADVANCED >>BUNDLE CREATION and wait for the process to complete.....
After the process is completed copy the .ftf file from that folder and paste it in

Now open flash tools and click on the black thunder icon....
and click ok button.....now select the .ftf u created .....
Now turn off your phone and press and hold back key untill green led is not seen....
Then the flashing process starts......

I have X8 with 2.6.29.6- nAA -ics-04 kernel and MiniCM9-3.0.4-shakira installed.
Phone is turning off by itself and it's really slow so I would like to install stock rom.
I tried by PC Companion but it doesn't recognize device.
Can anyone help me with step by step instructions?
Can I just update with SEUS? I read somewhere that I should flash stock kernel first but I can't find how to.
I tried to search thread for this, but there's nothing for beginners.
Now I really NEED HELP PLEASE!
I copied Ginger DX rom on my SD card and install it, since thread said it runs with stock kernel and nAa kernel. (On other thread someone wrote that I need rom that supports both stock and nAa kernel for easier stock kernel install.)
Now my phone only shows Sony Ericsson start screen and that's it.I tried many threads for bricked phones but all links are broke and the ones I managed to download are not working.
So now I have W8 and X8 (E16&E15) Stock Kernel and X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015, I also tried Xperia X8 (E15)_2.1 (2.1.1.A.0.6)_Greek (by Leajian) but all of them shows only Sony Ericsson start screen.
Also, when I connect to SEUS it says I already have latest software and I can't connect to PC Companion since I can't turn the phone on.
Please someone help me, I've been up with this all night and need my phone in the morning.
are you on stock kernel already? simply flash the stock ROM via flashtool. do NOT flash the kernel. then reboot. you need to have pcc installed too. and install the drivers in flashtool's /drivers folder.
edit: you need the stock rom .ftf file. not the baseband and kernel.

Custom kernel flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Hoping that your phone is new, it would be locked!
First install the drivers (XZ drivers, flash mode and fastboot drivers) from drivers folder of flashtool (For flashtool, download the beta version from Xperia Z Original Development forum page than the 0.9.10.1 version- it doesn't support Z)
Next download the firmware of your choice. Make sure it isn't corrupted!
Switch off your mobile but DON'T connect!
Paste the downloaded firmware in firmwares folder of flashtool.
Open flashtool, select flash mode and select the firmware you copied!
It says that it is preparing files, let it do (about 5-10 mins)
After that, a dialog pops up saying that to connect the device, now hold the volume down button and try connecting the device. The flashing should start!

Thxs for your answer.
I got it restored to original.
I just wont to install the cm 10.1 kernel and then the cm10.1 rom.
They say I have to extract the kernel,when I unrar the firmware do I use the boot.img?
How do I do extract the kernel on Sony?
When I connect to flashtool it doesnt give me the option to unlock,so i presume its unlocked?
How can I check?
Ive been flashing my Note for a year now,but this is somewhat different.
To go onto cm 10 or as op (4.2.2) you need to unlock your bootloader
If you want to use Cm roms First you need to know if you can unlock it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* >service info > configuration and look under bootloader unlock no means can't be unlocked, yes means you can, if you do unlock it make sure you back up your TA partition
There are tutorials on how to unlock bl and even on Sony unlock how to do it
Edit: to try, try and flash doom lords Xperia v6 kernel if it fails then you are still locked
