My phone was working, I had MiniCM7Pro V21 Installed and I tried to install the CWM Recovery Version 5, because in my installed version the Battery Stats Wipe wasn't working and my battery was draining very quickly.
After the CWM Recovery Version 5 Installation my phone got bricked because it's getting stuck in Sony Ericsson Text.
I am trying to Reflash but only Flash button is active and it doesn't show any firmware though I have copied both zip and unzipped files in firmware folder in FlashTool_0.2.9.1
I tried to use SuperOneClick to root but it gets stuck in Waiting for device. Kindly help.
It gives the following error :-
OK

I have installed it.
ggsetup-2.2.0.10
Press home+power button until you see black screen, then immediately press and hold back button plugging your phone into computer. When you see black screen and green flashlight-> your phone is correctly booted into restore mode. From this mod, you can restore your phone, using SE restore tools: SEUS and Sony Ericsson Pc Companion, or flash stock kernel using flashtool.
P.S. If you wont see black screen and green flashlight for the first time, try it again, again until you putt your phone safely into restore mode.
Thank you for the reply, the black screen do u mean the black screen with Sony Ericsson Text ? When I Press Home+Power Button I can see the Sony Ericsson Text Black Screen and then I press and hold the back buton Pluging my phone into computer I keep on seeing the Sony Ericsson Text Black Screen with no green flashlight.
I am still trying.
Black screen without any logos. Just black screen. Don't forget to hold back button.
Doing that, but it still gets into Sony Ericsson Text Screen, I press home and the power button, black screen for a while and I press back button and try to connect the phone the Sony Ericsson logo appears.
But When the cable connected and back button pressed the I can see the charging image and green light flash.
and in Flasher it shows the following :-
07/007/2012 23:07:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
07/007/2012 23:07:36 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

reflash to stock kernel and ROM
- install PC companion.
- connect phone in repair mode
- install drivers.
- after driver installed, reflash stock kernel using flashtool
- after stock kernel installed, reflash stock ROM using PC companion
- after stock kernel and ROM flashed,your phone should be like just when you bought it.
- bootloader should be locked now
- Root again
- unlock bootloader again
- Flash nAa again
- Flash cm7 again
- DONE!
Thank you for your reply, I have PC Companion Installed, I have a Generic Firmware downloaded, I have no idea what a stock kernel is ?
I am not able to get into this repair mode, I think this mode is when the flash light flashes ?
from the Bootloader part, I think I can do it because I did it before following a tutorial. If you can lease help me with the prior stage to bootloader lock would be highly grateful.
Thank u
Ones again: to enter restore mode you have to power off your phone, using home+power buttons or powering off like I have on picture. Then press and hold back button, while plugging it into computer.

- To relock bootloader you need to flash stock kernel which is 2.1.0.a.06 kernel.
- You need to flash stock kernel because if you have nAa kernel or any custom kernel installed, you wont be able to repair your phone using pc companion.
- After flashing stock kernel:
1. open pc companion
2. click support zone. (click start below it)
3. after clicking start, there should be a new window which also has a "start button"
4. on the 2nd start button, there should be a button under it which says "repair"
5. after clicking repair, just follow the steps for you to connect your phone in repair mode.
6. complete the repair installation.
7. DONE!
8. Bootloader should be locked now.
Thank you I was able to restore through PC Companion by getting into repair mode, however I didn't use flashtool to flash prior to usin PC Companion.
Thank you both for your kind support, Highly appreciated.

You are welcome my friend
And how should I proceed if I have a really hard brick (u20a)?
I tried to flash nAn on it, followed some instructions to unlock the bootloader, but something went wrong, the results were not the ones that should had been, and I made the mistake of turning it off. Now whenever I try to power it on, it doesn't do squat.
The only thing that makes me think it's still alive is that (after several months) I plugged it in and it began blinking on red (perhaps really low battery).
I've tried to pull the battery, put it back in, press back (keeping it pressed), and then plugging the cable to the computer and nothing.
Any ideas? Or should I flush it down the toilet? :crying:

i tried the thing you suggested, but the green light only lasts a while even if i continue to hold the back button. also, i am not able to repair my phone through se pc companion, as it keeps cancelling the repair update the moment the green light stops appearing. any help? thanks!
So I tried rooting my neo L(MT25i) and my phone suddenly stopped working. After flashing the neo V kernel, my phone just refused to turn on(it;s supposed to vibrate and then I can root it). When I hold the power button, the notification LED turns orange and blinks once per second. When I connect it to a charger/computer, the LED turns orange too and blinks once per 2 seconds. It can't even enter flash mode(flashtool doesn't detect it). Any solution to this?

I Think the only way to save your phone is flashing it using flashtool.
First of all try recharging your battery using an universal charger.
then try reinstalling usb driver.flashmode and fastboot drivers with flashtool (fastboot and flashmode are not compatible with windows 8.1)
Normally flashtool will recognize it without a problem.
GOOD LUCK :fingers-crossed:
Using flashtool you can fix your mobile phone

yeah, with flashtool, install the drivers and then try to install the custom ics, when flashtool ask you to put the phone on fastboot just volume down while you connect the usb cable, it worked for me
thanks all . finally managed to fix the phone. issue was i was using flashtool on windows 8.1 even though i disbaled driver signature. some features still dont work on windows 8.1 . i then used my windows vista laptop and everything worked fine
so phones rooted with custom rom. happy days
I have a xperia U 1.b.1.54 kernel. i wish to root my phone. so i unlocked the Bootloader. and then i downloaded the 1.b.1.10 kernel and downloaded the sony flash tool 0.9.8.0 and flashed. After flashed it shown disconnect your phone. so i disconnected and started the phone. but my phone did not booted successfully...it shown a blank screen. Again i connected and connect in flashmode and flashed, this time i tick the option "exclude kernel" . but it show the same error after restart . i restarted 3,4 times...now my phone canot start..just a small vibration thats all. nothing show in display even a light or blank screen. bt if i reinsert the batery and press volume down button and connect USB cable. a green light will apear. and it will went off after 10 sec. nothing will shown even their is a green light.

Looks like you messed something up during flashing.
Try flashing this ftf in flashmode:
ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.100_Sony.ftf (you can find the link to it in Xperia U Android Development index)
It's a stock Sony ICS rom with a stock Kernel.
Do not exclude anything....
@sudheeshmeenkulam
Try flashing stock 1.b.1.54 kernel first.
A couple of days ago, my m4 aqua started giving me errors that says ".......... has stopped working". By "............", I mean all apps. And by "all apps", I mean literally all the apps installed on the phone. I restarted the phone, but I gues that was a mistake.
When I try to turn in on, phone is stuck a sony logo. When I try to boot into TWRP, the result is the same.
Tried flashing all over with Flashtool but the phone isn't recognized in flashmode. When Flashtool asks me connect my phone in flashmode, I hold the volume down button and connect it, the led turns green as it is supposed to, but Flastool does not recognize it. The same thing happen when I try Sony Xperia Companion App.
Weird thing is, the device seems to be stuck on like that until I reset it with the small reset button on the side. Ususally disconnecting the phone in flashmode gets it out of flash mode, but when I cancel flash and disconnect, the led still shines green. The same thing happens for fastboot mode or when charging. When I plug the charger, the led turns red as if charging, but when I unplug the chager, the led is still red until I reset the phone.
