Just flash a stock rom with flashtool. All should be ok then.
Cheers

Hello,
Please post in the Right Section. This belongs to Q&A. [Q] What I can do...
The only thing you can do is:
Buy a new Battery or charge the old battery with and external charger.
Please only flash ROMs with more than 50% Battery since you need a bit Juice to recover it incase of problems
Or do you mean the Power of your PC went off? Cuz' your kernel should show "FXP" not "Sony" unless someone changed kernel splash screen... If thats the prob use search man, and use flashtool... Think what you can do in case of problems, before acting
King Regards,
Jader

If you see Sony logo then you have stock kernel i think and you say you tried to flash JB rom with stock kernel? To flash JB rom you must unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel like (fxp, lupus or fusion) and then flash JB rom trough CWM recovery (included in custom kernels). To fix your phone now there are 2 solutions:
1.Use PC companion to repair your software
2. Use flashtool and flash any stock rom

You can use SEUS, provided you did not unlock bootloader. If it's unlocked, you can always relock it.

[ALL 2012 XPERIAS] {GUIDE} Recovering from SOFT-Brick

This is from the WIKI page "Brick (electronics)"​When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my MP3 player when I tried to modify its firmware."[1]
In one common sense of the term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device permanently unusable.
However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick".​DON'T WORRY, BE PATIENT, YOU CAN FIX YOUR PHONE.​
This is common 'cents' worth more than a million dollars
accts said:
My two cents, always install CWM - Backup your ROM, before doing any modding to your phone.

​
For this guide I will define types of RESETS that happen when pressing both the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons.​
SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.
HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.*
*USE HARD RESET ONLY IF ALL OTHER TRICKS HAVE FAILED. RECOVERY FROM THIS DEEP LEVEL OF SOFT-BRICK WILL TAKE A LONG TIME​Both can be used at anytime on a working phone. Most bootloops will also allow resets​
First try to use SONY's PC Companion to REPAIR your phone.
However if your bootloader is unlocked this may not work​
>>TO GET FLASHTOOL CLICK HERE<<​If you need help with setting up & using FLASHTOOL >>CLICK HERE<<​
For most of the tricks you will need to have FLASHTOOL ready with a STOCK.ftf file waiting at a specific spot.
For help with finding your phones STOCK.ftf file click here
you will find instructions HERE on how to create your own STOCK firmware ftf file for your specific celluar carrier/region and model XPERIA. Each phone model has a different file for every android version. You will need a working phone to get your specific file, However you can use a GENERIC version that comes on international phones to recover from SOFT-brick
As the various 2012 XPERIA forums get organized, the moderators are trying to set up STOCK FIRMWARE ftf file download threads. As these threads come on line I will add them here. For now I will provide at least one file per phone for recovery.
MAKE SURE YOU USE A STOCK FIRMWARE FOR YOUR MODEL. Using the wrong models file will give you the very SOFT-brick your trying to fix. If your not sure then ask for help.​

[Q] Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.

Bravia & Music Info Download won't work.
So, after I'd unlocked the BE, I saw BE and Music Info Download were gone. Then I relocked the bootloader, flashed the .197 firmware using flashtool and ... bam, the BE won't work too. I can comfirm I have locked the bootloader and unroot. But these 2 still won't work. I tried to take the picture with BE on/off and they are the same. Please help me....

can i bmp this thread ?

Only once every 24 hours, so no, you have broke the rules.
Sent from my LT30p xda premium app.
How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?

Thank you, I'll remember next time.

OK, NP
I have read some threads on other xperia forums where there are methods to get it back working again, but I am not sure if it has been managed yet on the T.
The fact these things break when unlocking the bootloader via official methods is very clearly explained on the Sony site and is maybe the only reason why any dev may still be trying to find an unnoficial way to unlock the bootloader.
Try searching in the xperia S forum, i think thats where it has been done before

I have searched and found that method you mention. I have tried to apply it but it didn't work.
Maybe Jellybean will fix it, don't you think ?

Most likely not. These modules require DRM keys that are removed when unlocking the bootloader,

Another reason for me to sold this and buy it again. Will cost money but I just very love this device, but I love Bravia more....

how do you check to see if Bravia is working? I have an unlocked BL on my TX and the Bravia engine is showing enabled in Display settings.

Try watching a video or look at pictures with it turned off and on. In your case, unlocked BL, you should see no difference.

Solved the Download Music Info Security Error and Mobile Bravia Engine
Please note this is for the Xperia V but you can follow same method with Xperia T but please download ftf firmware and relock file for your device if your device is not Xperia V shown below.
I solved by by this method, please clicked on link below :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068225
Another thing do not used the CredentialManagerService.apk when you download instead use on one on your device like this :-
Steps
1.Download Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip shown below
2.Clear data for Download Music Info and all Walkman apps, under settings>apps>all
3.With Root Explorer or any root managerCopy CredentialManagerService.apk from /system/app to your SD card.
4.Copy CredentialManagerService.apk from SD card to /system folder
5.Change permissions to rw-r-r
6.Move the CredentialManagerService.apk in /system folder and paste in /system/app
7.Delete .odex file for CredentialManagerService if you're on a odexed stock ROM.
8.Shutdown and flash stock kernel with Flashtool using the kernel from the FTF file of the Firmware you
are currently using by downloading the ftf file below, be sure to not wipe Data(you will loose apps)
and System(you will loose root. Uncheck wipe data and check Exclude System.
9.Relock your bootloader by downloading the FTF file below. Turn on your device.
Another thing you want to uninstall your root manager or file manager app I used, do not enable setting to root as it will keep shutting your device down when you open the file maanger app so leave it unrooted as not sure how to fix it.
So now your download music info should work.

Did anyone test it? I have the problem using the above method for tx "credentialmanagerservice.apk has stop running" or anything like that...

That's because you'll need a credentialmanager.apk from a tx that hasn't been unlocked yet

On your phone go to Settings=>About phone. Under Model number does it say C6602 or C6603?

I downloaded .423 (4.2.2) version of Android for my C6602 device. I flashed it via flashtool. So I think my device will be C6602. I cannot access settings because of this error (process system not responding) and the device restarts in a 20-30 seconds.

I know you have already tried flashing with Flashtool but try following this guide
When you get to step 4 download the two files (Stock 4.2.2) from here
When you get to step 6 tick all three boxes under Wipe and leave all boxes under Exclude unchecked.

That's what I've done. That ftf didn't work for me so I thought that was damaged or something so I used PC Companion to download the latest firmware for my C6602 and I created my own ftf and flashed it following the same steps mentioned in the guide but the device still restarts.

Pressing the yellow button on the back for about 5 to 10 seconds will indeed make it vibrate three times but after that it should be completely off.
Try it a few times. It will eventually work. Make sure the charger is not connected though!
Your phone will need to be completely off before you can start using flashtool.

Any ftf for your device model will work, but don't flash any ftf for a different model. Doing that will brick your device.
Example:
My phone is C6903 then I'll flash C6903 ftf
If I'll flash C6902 ftf to a C6903 phone then my phone will be bricked.

You can use seus (Sony Ericsson update service) for updating our reinstalling Sony phones firmware (locked bootloader only ) it helped me when i bricked my device first time
