So i tried installing Cyanogenmod 10.1, my phone is already rooted and bootloader unlocked, the phone was stuck at the FreeXperia logo after flashing the zip through CWM. After that I tried the Doomkernel and it doesnt boot past the doomkernel splash screen either. Now I can get into CWM and TWRP but I really don't know what to do in order to get a rom working again, can anyone help me? I can also boot into fastboot ofcourse.
Thanks!

It's an idea to find out before doing things that could make your £400+ device a paperweight.

Try fully wiping your phone and /sdcard and installing the latest odexed stock rom

I think I have made it worse, I though I would try and relock the bootloader and and use Method 2 - flashing RUU (ROM Update Utility) which was going well untill I got a fail message wrong bootloader. Now my phone is constant bootlooping into bootloader.
I phoned HTC UK this morning about repairing my phone they said they would replace the motherboard which would cost about £100 so I think I will have to do that:crying:

When your phone is in bootloader, does it stay there?
OR does it reboot itself

I'm having a similar problem. It's slightly different, but don't want to hijack.
Hoping to use whatever solution posted for my problem.
I got it solved by unlocking the bootloader and flashing custom rom. Now im trying to gain again s-off to get back to stock
Hi, I got myself stuck in a bootloop and would appreciate some help! I have a D415 and installed CM11 for D415, but I wanted to switch back to the stock rom. I used an image of the stock rom which I flashed using TWRP, and now I am stuck in a bootloop after the LG splashscreen, it just keeps showing the T-Mobile splash screen, then the screen goes black while still on, and restarts the T-Mobile splashscreen. I have never broken one of my phones where I can't get into recovery, as far as I know, so how do I fix it? I'd really appreciate the help!
Update:
Found out it just needed a full wipe! Remember to wipe system when changing Android versions!

Glad you figured it out. Please edit your thread title and place "[SOLVED]", without the quotes, at the beginning of it.
I feel like this is going to be a long thread but I'll make it short as much as possible with as much details
I have a SONY Xperia SP C5303 stuck in a boot loop, it was given to me by a friend.
The phone was on stock firmware, android 4.3, unrooted, bootloader locked.
As he was using the phone while charging, he activated WiFi, after a while he activated Bluetooth (WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time) and then it just turned off, rebooted and stuck in the "SONY logo => Xperia logo=> Orange logo" boot loop and then it just fades away and blacks out and reboots.
After many attempts, he wasn't able to fix it and he gave it to me .
Now the first thing I did was flashing it using FlashTool with the firmware "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" but still stuck on boot loop, the only thing that happened is that the Orange logo changed into the colorful waves animation.
I flashed it a couple of times more, the same method, but still, the same results.
Next thing I did, I updated it using SONY PC Companion, after the update finished, it was still in boot loop (ALTHOUGH, the lock screen DID appear but I was not able to do anything, and the screen faded away again)
So, I sent it to a repairer, here's what he have done :
_ He did something (?) and gave it back to me with 0 charge, so I charged it at home and when I turned it on, still boot loop, so I returned it to him.
_ This time, it ACTUALLY worked ! The phone came back to life, everything was working just fine, until I activated WiFi and I noticed that it's not working, then I activated Bluetooth as well (AT THE SAME TIME, remember what I said at first ?) then the screen just faded away and back to boot loop, I sent it back to the repairer and told him that he hasn't changed anything and that the real issue is that WiFi and Bluetooth do not work/cause boot loop when working at the same time
_ He revived the phone once again but the WiFi/Bluetooth issue was not fixed and he told me that there's nothing he can do anymore, and he refunded me.
I can't complain though cause all I wanted was the phone working !! I didn't care less about WiFi nor Bluetooth.
This morning, as I wanted to root the device, I tried the DoomLord Easy Rooting Toolkit, after flashing the first kernel using FlashTool (Yes, I followed the steps VERY carefully) and after the flash of the kernel finished, the phone is once again in boot loop, this time boot looping on the SONY logo only
So the conclusion is that the phone can actually be revived. How ? That's what I'd kill to know !! (Jk)
I tried flashing again the "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" (4.3) but nothing, then I tried the previous firmware (4.1) but still nothing.
Sometimes, after the flashing, when the phone boots for the first time, the lock screen appears but fades away again (unable to touch anything)
SO PLEAAAAAAASE !! If there's anything I can do, please tell me, all I want is for the phone to work, hell to the data or anything else, also don't mind the warranty at all. And I'm not from the US, so there are no SONY service points here
There's a video in the rar file attached down there, it shows how the boot loop happens.

I assume you've got no recovery installed? flash the william's kernel elf in flashtool. This will give you a kernel which has recovery so what you have to do is download and flash Omni-X, Nexus Prime's omni (my personal favorite) or Paranoid Android. These are all LBL Roms so you don't have to worry about anything at all. Also flash the Super Su binary. I'll provide the links to all these if you want.
Indeed, no recovery installed and PLEASE DO GIVE ME THE LINKS !! I'll try again and again until it's fixed, although I highly doubt that it will.
If all fails, I will just send it to the repairer once again to bring it back to life once again

I know he can't flash the kernel since he's on a locked bootloader. But if he flashes the rom as soon as booting into the recovery, then he will be using the stock .207 kernel and the Rom will boot
