Hi guys - I did a wipe/factory reset in Philz recovery. It asked me to confirm that I was going to flash a new rom. I said yes. The flash didn't work, I think the files were corrupted. So now the phone's red led comes on when it's plugged in and after awhile the sony logo comes on and stays on but nothing else happens. I have tried to flash stock firmware with flash tool but it's not recognising the phone and won't flash when I plug in and hold volume down. I think there isn't enough info left in the phone to identify it.
Please forgive my ignorance. I would really appreciate any help although I can't help thinking that I have killed the phone...

Can s/o please point me in the right direction? I have a brand new Xperia TL. I followed the directions on the All-In-One Readme thread to root the phone, which came with locked bootloaders. Then I tried flashing the rom- [AOKP][JB] Xperia T - KangXperiaProject - [milestone 1].
Then the phone turned off, and when I turned it on all that happened was the Sony boot logo came up, then a fuzzy/staticky screen with random colors, then the phone shuts off, and then turns on again, and then the same thing. The battery isn't removable so I can't do a battery pull.
I managed to get the phone into Flash mode for Flashtool, tried flashing a kernel, but nothing happened. I tried all the different key combos to get into recovery, but no dice. I was actually lucky that once it remained stable long enough to flash a kernel, but usually when it's connected to the comp it won't stay on long enough to do much of anything. I also tried accessing the phone with an ADB shell, but that won't read the phone.
I also searched and searched and searched for possible solutions, but can't seem to find any posts (on XDA or otherwise) that deal with this specific set of issues.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!!
You cannot flash custom rooms that are not stock based with a locked bootloader.
That is because you cannot flash custom kennels with a locked bootloader.
Flash a stock ftf with flashtool to fix your phone.
To do a virtual battery pull then press and hold the power button and volume up button until the phone vibrates

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Thanks for the info. I tried flashing a stock ftf (I think the LT30_7.0.A.3.195_kernel.ftf you provide in the readme thread), but then it just want back to bootlooping.
Is there a different one I should flash? Or is there something else I could do? Meanwhile, I'll try flashing again when I get home today.

I flashed the ftf again- the phone still bootloops, but sometimes it show an image of a phone and the triangle with the ! in the middle- which I know is Download Mode on my old phone (Samsung Captivate). Is this what's supposed to happen? If yes, what's the next step? If not, what else can I do?
Thanks so much gregbradley!

TL version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33744425&postcount=56
Thank you gregbradley and hkjr.
I was having trouble flashing an ftf b/c the phone kept shutting off in the middle of a flash. What I did was flash (the T version) piece-meal; I checked "Exclude" for all the components except the 1st, flashed, then checked "Exclude" for all except the 2nd, flashed, etc., and IT WORKED!!
Then I flashed the TL version ftf, rooted it, and all was good. Now it was time to flash a custom rom. I flashed recoba23's Xperia Curiosity V1.2 Rom (for locked bootloaders). That worked. Then I wanted to take a look at TiMiN8R's XperimenT rom. The phone told me that the file finished downloading. I thought it was a little smaller than indicated on the download page, but the phone said the download was complete. Flashed it. Then BRICK. Dunno if it's because the full file didn't download, but now ALL I get is the Sony splash screen (no bootloop, just stays like that). I can't get into recovery and I can't get the phone into flash mode, although the computer does recognize it when I plug it in and I can access the files on the phone.
Any ideas what's going on??
same problem please help =(
I too have the same problem, stuck at "SONY" screen can't go to recovery mode, can't connect to pc, i did the power+up volume button, turns off but if i turn it on same result stuck at sony... I followed this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020796 for locked bootloader, i have the att xperia TL.
I flashed the generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf
Rooted using Bin4ry's method
Install CMW for locked bootloaders
Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM(STOCK ROOTED 7.0.A.3.195)
and when im going to flash the flashable CMW, i cant find it in my ext sd.. i put it with stock rooted 7.0.A.3.195.zip and superuser.zip, it says "file not found" on recovery after i flashed the stock 7.0.A.3.195.zip so i decided to reboot.. and this happened. Is there a fix to this please help us :crying:
OK, I got my phone back up and running! For me, it just seemed to be a matter of playing around with the buttons and the plugging/unplugging the phone from the computer and/or charging it, and eventually it went into flash mode. I was able to flash stock kernel, root and apply CWM, then made sure that I downloaded the whole file for whichever ROM I wanted, flashed it, and all was good!
fatedcircle9, just try playing around with it. If you can't flash the new CWM from recovery right after you install the ROM, just reboot the phone, attach it to the computer, and install CWM like you did before. At least that's what worked for me....
Short and Sweet: Have a c5306, fido, on android 4.3. Rooted with towel root, flashed CWM 4.4.1-sp, made back backup of stock 4.3 with philz. Phone turns on, but has no IMEI, no service. As soon as the screen goes off, i cant get it back on. So the screen times out after 30 sec and it stays that way. Never heard of this problem. I can hit the reset button in the back, boot the phone up and same thing. Can anyone assist in anyway? If you can help me solve my issues, ill gladly Donate
EDIT- i have now wiped system so cannot return to recovery, or boot the phone. It is stuck at the white Sony logo
Try to flash the latest stock ROM via Flashtool, maybe that could help.

+1, this is what I do when nothing else works, as long as you can get into Flash mode (Vol Down and plug in USB), you should be fine flashing stock software back on.
Good luck mate!
Try this dude
It's easier, I feel..

Yeah you can try flashing stock rom and there's even a video for that on YouTube if you need help
Hi there,
I'm still very new to this so I'm gonna try to describe this the best way that I can.
Basically I have a Xperia SP C5303 and I was getting frustrated of it being slow and keyboard failing to pop up - these are just a few of the issues I had with this phone. I had previously downloaded the 4.3 update for the phone. So basically I thought "let me try to update it to 4.4". So I google the update and put in on the SD card on the phone. So I enter recovery, and follow the instructions (wipe all user data) and then I go to install the "cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip" It then came up with an error saying it could not be installed. So i'm panicking here and did the mistake of restarting the phone. Now the phone is stuck on the Sony logo and I cannot get it into recovery no matter pressing the up and down volume button.
Can anyone please help me? I do not have a phone now and as a man I am not afraid to say it made me shed a tear or two a bit.... But anyways, if you can please help. Thank you you wonderful people.
Hello you managed to solve? or you still need help?

Hello my friend, I assume you´re on locked bootloader, right?
If it is so, you flashed the wrong Rom. Anyway, don´t panic - not a big problem.
When you have restarted your phone, you started it without any system. No wonder, that doesn´t work
Ok. let´s go:
First, you have to flash a new stock Rom. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Second step - root it and install a recovery. Got to the thread of our Guru Doomlor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
read the steps carefully, so you can´t make any mistake!
Step three - on locked bootloader you can only flash a Rom for LBL!!!
If you want a CM11 Rom I recommend bagyusz´CM11 Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
If you will follow all the steps you will have back an excellent CM11 Rom with much, much fun.
Goodl luck, reinipic.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, what do you mean with "tried all the steps"???
Did you flash a stock .ftf Rom with Flashtool?
It is nearly impossible to brick the XP.
Please give me more details, what you´ve done.

I've downloaded the .ftf file onto my laptop, but getting my phone to open the file is an issue because when i connect the SP onto the laptop, it switches on the phone but has been stuck on Sony logo for the past couple of hours. The Recovery_SP.zip and DooMLoRD are both not picking up the phone as plugged in on USB drivers.

Hi everyone
So just to let you guys know i have also searched the internet for what i am about to ask you.Including this site.I have had many good pages on this website to try and help with my problem.But sadly with no luck,my issue was different.so that when i decided to finally create an account to get some help and hopefully help others too!(which i doubt).So now to my problem.I have a sony xperia Z1 and had rooted it using the king root app and then used the command to replace with super user.All was well and good until i tried to do duel recovery.i feel thats where i mustve messsed up.I am sure my boot loader is locked but the file i used was a version that worked with a locked bootloader.so i installed it via connecting my phone to the usb and use some software to install.Sorry i thing i must have forgot what i used.Hopefully that is not important.all went well and when my phone restarted it went staright to twrp.I decied to wipe cache and data inc internal and dalvic cache.But when i restared all i got was the sony logo frozed.Nothing would happen.i would try entering recovery mode or flashing mode or what ever you call it by pressing vol up and power.All this does it makes my phone vibarate 3 times but thats not the prob;em as normally i would presume the phone is off but no its not as when i put it on charge it comes on with the logo and all.but when i connect to my pc to try and reflash nothing.i have tried using xperia flash tool but when i follow the instructions nothing happens.and to be fair i dont even know wif i followed them righ as for all i know my phone could be off.i attempted pc companion to try and sort it out but it dosnt give me an option to reflash.only upgrade and when i do press that it says i must remove my battery and sim but i cant.i am worried if i leave it on charge it will turn really hot cuz thats what i done for like an hour and it was extremly hot.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Flash
Just Flash stock Lollipop with .Ftf format by flashtool (flashmode), you can find everything on XDA.
I was using CM12 for quite a long time. Then I received an OTA update to CM13. After using it for a few days the device suddenly crashed and wouldn't switch on since then. Whenever I try to switch it on, it vibrates three times. If I connect a charger, it vibrates three times. If I connect to my PC, it vibrates three times.
Sometimes suddenly it boots up and then again crashes in the middle, and vibrates three times.
Is it some kind of hardware problem? :crying:

Hey there! I think it's some infection from the CM ROM. The same happened to me.
The best you can do is submit your phone to the centre, that is if it goes into flashing.
I think it's some ram problem or CM's internal boot file corruption, after the latest OTA.
