Accidently Flashed Doom kernel I Bricked my Sony Xperia TL LT30at

I accidentally flashed the doom kernel that I forgot to delete off of my phone when trying to flash something else now my phone won't turn on. When I try to power it on it just vibrates and when I try to boot into recovery it just vibrates 3 times. Every now and then I can get the led to light up when it's being charged and I'm holding the power button. But still doesn't power on fully.

Try to flash stock ftf or another kernel via flashtool.

you try to flash a different kernel is not considered

Actually, if all you flashed was a wrong kernel, then you don't need to reflash a whole ftf with flashtool, given your bootloader is unlocked. Only flash the correct kernel in fastboot mode:
Unplug und plug in the USB-cable. Hold Vol+ and the ON-button at the same time for a couple seconds until you feel a single vibration. Let go of the ON-button but keep the Vol+ pressed. You should be in fastboot mode again indicated by the blue LED.
If that works, you can reflash the original kernel.elf or boot.img with fastboot in order to get the phone working again. That way you won't loose any data.

i've just done the same thing

did you fix it?

Hold Vol+ and connect the usb cable that is the right way of Fastboot mode. The Flashtool mode is HOLD Vol- and connect the cable.

Lt30at bootloader isn't unlockable. So I think you should flash stock kernel only.

I didn't think it would even flash to brick because the boot loader wouldn't allow it to even write there, so is it even booting into recovery or flashmode?

[Q] Chainfire caused reboot loop

Hi there i have rooted my phone with doomlord's latest rootkit for c6603 UK devices (you can tell im a noob), when installng and the opening he chainfire 3 app it asked me to install some graphics drivers and i did, it then restarted and then the loop restarted (turns off after sony logo, doesn't even get to xperia logo, then turns back on). I have tried several fastboot and flash methods but the problems still persists, does anyone know of any recovery or factory reset methods wihtout having access to your xz?
Thanks

1. Hold on boot volum up and power for 12 seconds i think.
Or
2. Charge the phone and see what's happening

charging it goes into a reboot loop then after a few times it displays battery meter...

ive tried flashing with flashtool but it comes up with "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings", no idea how i gonna do that though, anyway to flash without this on? maybe fastboot?

I assumed you installed chainfire 3D app.
So, if you want to flash with flashtool, you must set your phone in flash mode.
Hold vol - when plugging the usb cable in (with phone powered off).
If you got the loop, plug the USB cable pressing vol - at the moment the phone is off.

And it may warn you about usb debugging, etc but just ignore it and continue anyway. Ive got back from bootloops with this regardless of unknown sources or debugging. Usually even when bootlooping the hard shutdown will work, hold power and volume up untill the phone vibrates three times and turns off. You may feel it vibrate once, ignore and keep holding.
You do need the correct adb drivers installed to use flashtool, the downloaf here at xda i believe includes them you just have to open the drivers folder, open the exe and choose your phone from the list. If you get into flashboot mode (when you hold volume up and plug it into the computer the led should flash once to let younknow its in the right state. Sometimes flashtool will take a long time to prepare the files for flashing amf your phone will start up... Let flashtool finish prepping, then it will come up with a screen telling you to put the phone in flashmode (usually giving the wrong instructions to do so, ignore them) if so, now go ahead and unplug your phone, power it down via the hard shutdown function i mentioned, then hold volume up and plug it back in. If you get the led flash its working, and if it wont then install its because your drivers arent installed properly.
Also i may be wrong, but the chainfire 3d drivers are for older versions of android, dont try to install them again. I did this on another phone that I had upgraded to jellybean and ot softbricked it. Jellybean runs ope GL fine on this phone.

Ive installed official frmware on my phone (through flashing) and now im about to root it again.
Thanks

[Q] Stuck in bootloop and cant do anything

Hi there,
I think I have flashed an incomplete downloaded rom on my phone in CWM and has now messed up my phone, i made a nandroid back up to my external SD card before the process. After flashing i then tried to restart my phone from philz touch latest version and my phone is now in a bootloop. I cant enter CWM again and cant enter either flash mode or fast boot mode - evey time I plug in my USB cable the LED turns red straight away even though i hold the volume up/down button.... I have tried to do this several times and even after hard resetting it - anything i could do now without flash mode or fastboot working - maybe ADB or something
Thanks

It says error device not found and then waiting for device during the boot loop - even though a red light comes up on LED when i plug in USB cable from pc and then the bootloop just starts again
Should I wait for it to charge to nearly full battery before trying again?

What you mean nothing!
can boot even to fastboot?
if can access to fastboot so flash the recovery and then everything you want through recovery...
:good:

Nothing....it just died. no lights, no vibrations, no nothing...I have tried all the combos with the vol buttons and the power.

I think I'm in the same boat. Flashed the latest PA then reboot just stayed on black screen. Holding power causes short vibrate every couple of seconds. Connected to PC and able to boot into fastboot mode. Is my best recovery method to just flash the latest ftf?

Its most likely a kernel issue. Flash the kernal you need for that rom

is it ok in mode flashtool ? (vol- , power, plug in) if yes flash an official rom ftf by flashtool

try holding VOL+ and Power button for 10 sec then try entering fastboot or flashmode

same problem but my xperia vibrates but not open

Xperia T bricked!!! HELP!

I tried Philz recovery to install a new rom but after choosing "clean to install new rom", I rebooted the phone by mistake :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: And now I can't turn it on with the power button, when I try to force reset by holding both power button and volume up, it just buzz once and Sony screen show up then down just after a few seconds. After that nothing happens. I tried to connect it to PC and I just got the notification that USB cannot recognised... I can't enter fastboot or flashboot mode
How can I do now?!?!? I'm so feaking out now :crying::crying:

Have you tried flashtool?
If you use it to flash a stock rom, your phone may work again.
