Get flashtool and flash stock.
If you format system you are essentially wiping your OS and recoveries so if you reboot without flashing a replacement then your phone is empty.

A little bit of hard work could have got you to the correct place..

If you wish to return to stock, it was easy, just flash the stock ROM through Flashtool and you're done.

That's not Flashtool! That's Eclipse, an IDE for programming stuff.
You should go here to get FLahtool: http://flashtool.net/

can you access recovery??
Try restoring ya phone via. PC Companion. There's a thread in XDA..
If you can access CWM, just flash another ROM.
cwm can be accessed even if system is formatted... enter cwm.. if you dont have a rom in sd card then mount usb storage then copy a rom in sdcard. and then install the rom

If you read his post, you will know that he's on stock kernel. Recoveries for stock kernel are stored in /system. He wiped it => he doesn't have recovery.

Even with stock kernel? Because if I'm not mistaken on stock kernel the recovery comes with ROM while in custom kernel the recovery comes from the kernel itself.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

No if his phone has locked BL. The best way is to flash the phone with PCC or to flash 2.1 firmware with flashtool.

[Q] stuck at boot :(

can someone please help me, its an emergency. i have stock 4.3 with unlocked bootloader.
i wanted to root it so i used flashtool to flash boot.img like it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573921
but when i flashed it i flashed it with the wrong seting, i chose select kernel to flash by accident then used that to flash the boot.img also i didnt put the superSU zip on my sd card before hand.
i then re flashed the boot.img with the "select system to flash" option and it installed the recovery fine.
so now i can boot into recovery but the phone will not come on as normal. i am just stuck at the sony screen.
i then went to try an re flash original stock ftf, but that is not being recognised by flashtool for some reason.
please help me
thank you

Power down the device for at least 10 minutes.
Get back in to recovery and tick "wipe cache partition" option and select it.
Go to the recovery main menu and reboot the device “reboot system now” option.
Try this..
I did that too. I also wiped dalvik and tried to reboot the phone. It was just staying on the sony logo. How long does the sony logo stay there after s boot like that? Also I dont understand why flashtool is not recognising the stock ftf files?

HELP No Android in the phone, can't boot

Ok guys I've done a big mistake and I can't fix it, I need your help!!!
I flashed stock 4.2.2 with flashtool, everything gone allright. I also rooted and installed dual recovery. Ok, everything fine
Then, I donwloaded 4.3 stock and went to recovery to flash, I do a factory reset but I didn't do a backup. When I flashed the zip in the recovery it show me a error.

Then I turned on the phone and I can't go to recovery it just stays at the sony logo and doesn't even turn off!!!

Just flash a stock rom 4.2,4.3 using flashtool and if your sony bootloader is locked you can not use recovery on 4.3.

You can not root stock 4.3 with a locked BL that rom is for a rooted xperia. To do it you must flash back to 4.2 and root again install recovery and install a custom 4.3 rom not stock.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Xperia SP, can't access CWM

Hi guys,
Ok, so I've searched through everything and I still can't find an answer to my problem. So, basically, I have just installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Xperia SP successfully using CWM recovery and then I wanted to reboot my phone again into CWM, so that I could install gapps, but I just couln't. Despite pushing right buttons while booting or making him boot into recovery mode, he always turns on the system. I can't get into flash tool either, but maybe it is because I have a blocked bootloader. I don't know if it's a valid info, but I have used "Wipe data/factory reset" before installing Cyanogenmod 11.
Please, help me, as I have no clue what to do now :<

i don't know if the lbl can do this but i think you can:
flash a recovery through rashr app ...flash this.img via the app(it's twrp recovery and it's the best ! )

Did that. Still, nothing worked. I installed twrp via rashr app as you suggested, then the was supposed to reboot in the recovery, but again, it didn't, just instantly went into cyanogenmod.

Maybe his bootloader can't be unlocked.
But if it can be (just dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check bootloader status), I too would suggest unlocking it. Makes flashing and customizing so much more easier and there infinitely more ROM's and other files to choose from.
Of course take a TA backup before you unlock your bootloader or your warranty's gone for good.
