I tried to fastboot the doomkernel, followed by zerorom, and it's stuck in a perpetual bootloop. I tried restoring via recovery, but it hasn't help. I tried re FB'ing the original boot.img, but that didn't help either. Anyone?
EDIT: And NOW, it will ONLY boot into recovery...which is just bizarre. Please someone help. I swear I hate this thing, lol.
Thats not bizzare Infact it's the whole purpose of recovery lol use flashtool to flash a stock rom or try flashing stock kernel.sin from fastboot

That's the problem. I can't do fastboot now, it keeps rebooting the phone into recovery. I don't have a chance to searchbutton>plug in usb. Even when I load the battery and press power, it loads the recovery. Is there even an OS on my phone now? lol Does anyone have a flashable stock rom?

I'm new to the Xperia scene. Just got mine two days ago, and have latest stock UK firmware, plus DoomLord's latest kernel, so I'm no expert...
Why don't you try removing the battery first, then plug in the USB cable, hold search button, and reconnect battery?
Exactly what I was going to suggest. But I personally would flash a clean install via flashtool first, and start again.

And where can I get a clean install? Do I just flash it in fastboot like everything else?

there is a fastboot image somewhere in the forum. but personally, i'm a fan of downloading the ftf versions of the firmware and flashing via flashtool. you familiar with this method in any way? there is also a website called watonserver, which has many versions of firmware, which you may find easier and less hassle than flashtool.
then once you have a freshly installed phone, you can try to do whatever you want again from the start

Oh man you could be my key to success! I have a file called R800x_FullStocknosimlockta_Verizon.ftf but how would I flash it via the flashtool? Is that the same thing as fastbooting something? (fastboot flash boot YOURFILENAME.img, etc)
EDIT: in re-reading your post, I'm guessing that fastboot and flashtool are not the same thing. I'm not familiar, but eager to learn.
If a file ends in .ftf or .sin you flash via flashtool. A program commonly used for the x10 and flashes to the phone in flash mode (led lot up in green)
And files ending in .img are flashed with fastboot (cmd command) with phone in bootloader mode (blue led)
EDIT: what model phone you using? the R800x?

This is not entirely true.... .sin files can be flashed with fastboot as well because they are essentially just images themselves: fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.sin
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
But for simplicity, I like to keep .sin files to flashtool. Especially as there is so many of them!! plus, you don't need bootloader unlocked to flash .sin via flashtool.

Yes I'm using the R800X. If there's a way to completely install a new firmware/OS, then that's what I'd like. As soon as it is plugged in to the usb cable, it goes straight to recovery.
EDIT: Okay doing no battery-hold search>plug in>reinsert battery worked. Now I'm in fastboot mode (blue LED) now give me something(s) to flash which will get me back to stock, minus the bootloader. I'd like the bootloader to stay locked, lol. R800X.

hey guys, this is my first time i would say i bricked my phone. i need someone to help me my phone has been in 'coma' for nearly 2 days now.
so this happened when i try to apply this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306044 and after i carelessly copied framework-res.apk to system/framework using root explorer without setting the correct permissions, my phone automatically shuts off and try to restart but it failed, it stucked on the big sony ericsson logo and 'sony ericsson' text.
i have pull out the battery hundred times and try to reboot my phone normally but it didnt worked it still stucked on the sony ericsson logo.
so can anyone help me please...
what tools/application should i get to fix this?
first of all, i dont want to wipe/lose/factory reset my phone memory data because that would make my phone contacts gone which i never ever want to happen. so please is it possible to backup my contacts somewhere else if wiping is the answer at least??
okay i took a lot of time to type this and hoping someone give me an answer
Hi, what is your model no? and you rooted it?

i use sk17i mini pro as mentioned above and yes it is obviously rooted
Congratulations, you have felt the power of customizing Android for the first
Actually, one way to fix this now, is to get back to fully stock firmware.
The second way would be to unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel, enter recovery and use Fix Permissions option. Unfortunately, not all Recoveries have this, only some versions of ClockworkMod Recovery. I have used many kernels on my LWW and only some of these included this option and I can't remember which one had, which not.

If contacts is too important for you and you have no backups, then go for the 2nd way - Unlock bootloader and install a custom kernel, which offers the Fix Permissions option.
I will check the Update Service, if Repair option will erase user data or not, currently updating my phone.
EDIT: Yes, removes all data.

If you can access flashmode, then your okay. Just flash stock firmware.
Will check Flashtool option.
Yep, you're correct, Flashtool has option to not wipe user data.

plz help me thanks in advance gents
Actually, i think you could've salvaged your phone without the need of flashing it... If you had access to CWM, you could've put framework file into zip file and flash it with CWM. It helped me once when i got stuck in bootloop after failed installation of a mod

its very easy to recover your phone if you got bootloop or stuck at sony ericsson logo. dont sweat.
first of all you need a stock .ftf firmware downloaded. any .ftf stock firmware .58/62/42 or whatever as long as it is stock.
then download and install flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
then put your downloaded .ftf firmware at c:/program files/flashtool/firmwares/"your downloaded .ftf firmware"
then open flashtool and click on the lightning icon. and choose flashmode.
then press volume down button, while you do that connect your phone to pc using usb then flash the firmwares. then boom your phone back to life

No for kernel.sin of the stock firmware you go in flashmode and exclude all except from kernel...
Try it again, install the drivers again, press volume down while connecting, it must work. Take off battery before you try and reinsert. The phone must be turned off!

The Ultra took a spill and now the screen is cracked:crying:. Screen still works but touch is dead. Luckily I bought the accidental replacement warranty though Sony.
I want to factory reset the phone before sending it back to Sony but without the touchscreen working how can I do this? Phone is stock on 4.3. My other androids had a volume/power button combination to get into the factory recovery to do a reset. What can I do?

Fastboot let's us flash certain things from a computer. Same with Flashmode.
- Fastboot = Turn your Ultra off and hold VOL UP while you plug it to your computer. A blue LED will light up.
Flashmode = Same as fast boot, but hold VOL DOWN. The LED will blink once and then it'll look "dead", but it is in flashmode.
Fastboot is mostly used when we flash boot.img and stuff like that, while flashmode is used when we flash stock FTF ROMs using Flashtool on the computer. If you want to go back to complete stock, install Flashtool on your computer, download a stock Sony ROM (FTF) and flash it by kicking it into Flashmode.
Are your bootloader unlocked? If yes, click the BLU button in Flashtool and re-lock your bootloader. If it's not unlocked then just flash a stock ROM and you're done.
Can you give us some more info? What ROM are you currently on? Unlocked bootloader? Rooted?
I'm in bed now so I can help you tomorrow if you need some help.

My phone is bone stock .290 4.3. Never unlocked bootloader, rooted, or anything. Just stock.
Once I install Flashtool and the corresponding drivers I just flash the stock ROM on the phone, and thats it? That doesn't mess with the bootloader or TA partition, or any of that stuff?

Correct. That's the only thing you'll have to do. The TA partition is intact since you didn't unlock the bootloader. Flash the ROM and you're done. You probably want to do a full wipe (delete all personal stuff), so be sure that the three boxes under WIPE (in flashtool) are checked

Success! Thanks again Lord. I managed to flash the stock 4.3 FTF back on the ZU through flashtool without a hitch.

How are you trying to get into recovery?
What does the LED do while you boot the ZU?
I would just flash jackie099's kernel and restore the backup from there - I cant see how flashtool would be failing except for a problem on the PC

If its so hard for you, i suggest to flash 757 ftf and begin from scratch...its not so hard to do it all over again...after you get recovery, just restore your backup...

yes master...
i cant get into recovery, i used to get no problem at all flashing kernels or down/upgrading ftf to it...
but right now i'm stuck with this kernel wich theres no recovery at all, no light no recovery...:crying:
i've tried to reflash kernels many times but failed...
the worse part that i got is that it has no signal at all...:crying:
if i flash it with any new ftf (down/upgrade), the kernel should be replace by the list on ftf package right...
but not mine...
Stucks... (3.4 bla bla)
how could i recover my ZU if i cant flash the kernel...:crying:

Download this: https://mega.co.nz/#!Vh8xEZYR!HwGosI...VlhUObM0NdNrPg
Make sure your phone is turned off.
Start Flashtool and click the lightening bolt at the top left and select 'FASTBOOT MODE'.
You should now see a new window of flashtool titled FASTBOOT TOOLBOX.
Plug in your phone while holding the Volume Up button
Back on flashtool: To the far right where it says 'By DOOMLORD', just below that the second option is 'Select Kernel to Flash', click it.
Browse for the .IMG file that you downloaded from the top of this post(which is the boot file for your phone to boot and let you into recovery).
Change the file type that's listed next to File Name at the bottom of the browse window, to .IMG
Select the .img file and it should flash automatically and tell you to check the log list shown right in flashtool before rebooting. If you don't see any errors then go ahead and unplug your device and boot it and try going into recovery.
You should be good to go now.

I think we need to see a log or screen grab of the output of flashtool when you try and flash a kernel and a FTF
I think "invalid argument" normally happens on a locked bootloader???
