You need to install flashtool, download stock firmware of your phone then flash it using flashtool.
flashtool
stock roms
stock rom .62 SK17i
GUIDE - Read it carefully
At the steps where your are told to hold the "Back" button you have to hold the "Volume Down" button instead (you should see blue LED)
P.S. I also have SK17i

I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

If it connects in flashmode just use pcseus to repair the phone or use flashtools to flash stock fw back on it

if u want to update your device using seus u have to first relock your boot loader if u unlocked it before or u can also flash stock rom using flash tool (no relock required in flashtool software) if u want to install custom rom first flash custom kernel you will see the suggestion when u r downloading custom rom from the thread and after flashing kernel go into cwm and do factory reset + cache wipe. after that install zip from sd car (rom zip)

Yes, you need to lock your bootloader if you want. The method is almost the same as you did to unlock it.
The Bootloader will still be Unlocked (If I'm not Wrong)

okay but there is one little problem more... the sony original rom is a ftf file so do i need to flash the kernel first using fastboot.... as i intend to use the mesa kernel with it.....
correct me if i am wrong this is the steps i would be taking.....
1. flash mesa kernel 1.6 using fastboot
2. select flashmode and then then select the sony ics rom 4.1.b.0.431
3. press the volume down button and flash this rom....
4. power on voila stock rom with custom kernel.....
am i right with this procedure........

while flashing the stock ROM (.ftf), make sure you check 'exclude kernel', then proceed. I'm not sure whether this is the right method to flash custom Kernel and Stock ROM, but afaik, it should work.. If you wanna be more sure, then try going through a few tutorials if you find them, or wait for a more experienced member to correct me if I'm wrong.
And also, I'm not sure of how efficiently stock ICS will work with mesa kernel..
Not claiming to be a more experienced user but...
1.) flash stock rom using flash mode
2.) flash kernel using fastboot mode
Ready.
You can not accidentally relock the bootloader by flashing a rom or kernel.
Sent from my phone.
No you will not relock your bootloader. If you Unlocked via the test point method you never need to relock your bootloader, whoever posted the second post needs to reread your question.
Flash using flashtool the ftf, then before you boot up your stock rom, flash MESA kernel via fastboot and flashtool then boot up for the first time. Done.
well i already flashed the rom.... and mind you never flash the kernel and then the rom(ticking xclude kernel) cuz the flashing stucks at 99%....
always flash rom first bootup and then poweroff and then flash kernel.....
also use bloatware remover removes the blotware and makes the stock rom superfast....... loving it......
although i cant seem to figureout on how to use v6 supercharger though....
ANY HELP ON THAT
THANKS AND TON....
and nvr get afraid while rooting u always get something in the last.... even if its a paperweight

You shouldnt have to bootup before flashing the kernel. It has nothing to do with the actual boot aslong as the kernel is correct for the rom you are trying to boot. If you want a fresh install with MESA kernel then you can flash the kernel in fast boot straight after flashing the ftf with flashtool.
Hello XDA buddies,
I need your help. I am having Xperia U on ginger bread(.188) which i wanted to upgrade on official ICS and afterward will try some custom roms. Before doing any updating i want to backup my stock rom in case any **** will happen i will be safe sided.I made searches about this and come to know that i have to unlock my bootloader and install custom recovery to backup my stock rom.
So here i am struggling:
1.I have unlock bootloader via sony official method but when iam trying to enter recovery mode by pressing volume key down(also tried volume key up) while my phone is restarting and sony logo appears nothing unusual happens and my phone starts normally.
2. To install CWM recovery i have to flash my SXU with some kernel(i really donn't know about this) and for flashing the kernel my phone must be on ICS. As i mentioned above before updating to ics i wanna backup my stock rom.
PlZ help me out of this.
Thanks in advance

If you have TA backup, you can relock bootloader and make restore from sony comanion on pc. But if you didn't backup TA, then i don't know what to do(
i just repair over PC comparion and twrp gone and all back to stock ( idk if someone in service experts can find that i make custom roms before) but im notice that my recovery dont work, at least when i push vol down and vol up + power
i cant find stock recovery on google im searching for 2 hours
Because any xperias no hasn't stock recovery, this no exist in Sony phones, u only waste time for searching
aham so i cant retrive to full stock all including recovery.... blah, i will send to service and pray that will pass

done but still no recovery, when i set vol + power or (vol+,vol- and power) phone just vibrate every 5 sec.... and thats repeating all the time... screen is off too... but normal power up and flash mode work ok....
Ojoj u don't understand, Sony phones don't have stock recovery at all, only we can install custom recovery on rooted phone or when we have unlocked bootloader, can we flash custom kernels with implemented recovery, but no one make custom kernel jet, only custom kernels are inside in custom roms like cm 12,cm 13
Aham. Sorry... I was found on net "how to enter in recovery mod" that is why i was think that they have recovery
