So Ive been on M&M Miui Rom for the past 6 months with no problems. Just this morning tho, I received a call, and as soon as I hung up, phone froze. No biggie... Pulled out the battery, pop it back in, and it wouldn't boot. It gets stuck at the boot screen logo (i was on ckernel at the time) and in about 5 secs screen goes blank and and WLOD appears, and goes into a boot loop. I then flashed other kernels but with no luck (I have unlocked boot) I also tried to connect it back to PC Companion but wont read it. I also flashed the locked boot tft and pc companion still wont take it Any ideas on what I can do?!!?

Why don't you try to get back to stock firmware by flashing it through flashtool.?

Or try to reflash Rom via Recovery or Flashtool.

Please read up on recover from soft brick.
Normally flash 2.1 stock and go from there. If flashtool won't find phone, start flash process without connecting phone until prompted then remove battery and replace while holding the back button then connect to pc

Uh, so I've been having a few problems trying to unlock the bootloader on my X10 and I came to some problems:
1. When I first connected my phone with the USB cable, the FlashTool showed that my phone had debugging mode off even though I checked it and it was on!
2. I ignored this problem and decided to try unlocking the BL anyways. When I shut down my phone, held the back button and plugged the USB cable to put the phone into Flashmode, after 10-20 seconds it would automatically reboot itself and get my phone out of Flashmode, making me unable to flash Kernel Downgrade!
3. This time I trained my fingers and tried to flash Kernel Downgrade before my phone started to reboot itself and I succeeded. But now that I flashed it, the next step for unlocking says
"disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)"
but the problem is that my phone won't go anywhere after the Sony Ericsson text (not the logo with the circle and stuff where it's supposed to)
I am using (or at least was using until I flashed Kernel Downgrade) DoomLord's Kernel v6 and ViolentOS ROM. I have also tried restoring the xRecovery backup I made exactly before starting the flashing, but it still won't work, the phone always gets stuck on the Sony Ericsson text. What am I supposed to do?!
What logo with the circle?? That's the boot animation, loaded when system is already running. It is supposed to be stuck at the first screen, that's when system starts loading kernel and can't with "wrong" baseband.
Sony Ericsson text is WHERE it has to be stuck.
Also, at least for me, I couldn't do unlock without 2.1 rooted system installed, had to flash baseband and system, then unlock and then restore my 2.3 backup.
New Problem

@kalte The logo with the circle is the animation that comes after the text.
But forget what I said. I'm trying to boot the phone and it's not working. I disconnected the USB and took off the battery then put the battery back in to see if it could boot. It's stuck at the text even though I restored everything with an xRecovery backup. Is this because of the Kernel Downgrade?
FIXED IT!
I'm such an awesome person! Just had to flash the Generic Kernel Upgrade. Everything is working, with my previous settings and all.

Flash Stock Firmware of your region using flashtool, to get you phone back to life. & try unlocking your bootloader using Flashtool.
PS- Flashtool never disappoints me.
I went from Shostock2 ICS to Shostock Gingerbread--flashed through recovery, everything seemed fine, rebooted a couple of hours later and the phone froze at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" screen. As of now I have NOT been able to get back into recovery though the volume rocker/power method ... Nothing happens at all. Half the time my phone wont boot, period, but if I pull the battery and put it back it will boot the first time into that same screen. Not at home so I can't connect it to my computer but if I can't boot into recovery not sure how I'm going to get my PC to recognize the phone .... (sigh.)
Please advise.
EDIT: Finally managed to get into recovery via volume rocker ... Don't know why it worked this time after failing over and over before. Have reflashed the Gingerbread zip ... Keeping my fingers crossed that it works out.

Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, that should get it to boot after you flash the GB zip!

HELP!
Hi
I had the JB munjeni ROM in my SOLA. I tried to root it, but I flashed a wrong zip. Then my phone didn`t turn on. It responded to hard-reboot and hard-power off. I tried to flash by fastboot kernel and it worked. When it was flashing system.sin, something failed, and now my Sola doesn't respond to hard reboot or power off. It's almost impossible to put it in flashboot or fastboot. Sometimes it gets into fastboot and then shows Sony logo, then nothing happens. The only thing it does is to show red LED when connected.
Please help me! I'm desperated already!
Sola Stuck on Sony logo+battery not charging
Hi guys,
I was using munjeni's jelly bean port+ etch04's experimental kernel for sometime and everything was great until yesterday. My battery died out completely and when I plugged it into the charger it turned on and was stuck in the Sony logo. There was no charging indicator. I thought omg so this is what a hard brick looks like. As you know, the sola's battery isn't removable so I thought I was doomed.Tried a hard reset and there was no difference. So I kept it there (plugged in, stuck in the sony logo) for a while, plugged it out and turned it on. Luckily, IT HAD CHARGED even if the charging indicator or display didn't show it. So I tried turning it on but it got stuck on the sony logo as usual. Since the battery had charged a little, I plugged the phone in fastboot mode and flahed etch04's experimental kernel again. But it still got stuck in the sony logo. Then, as a last resort I flashed the stock ICS .54 kernal using flashtool and IT WORKED! (charged with charging indicator and display)
Then I flashed etch04's kernel again and now everything's back to normal.
Here's the stock ICS .54 kernel.
View attachment MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.rar
Place it in flashtool/firmware folder and flash with flashtool.
Good Luck!

Hey!
don't flash the whole rom. Try flashing just the kernel.

Ok, so something seems to have gone very wrong with flashing my phone :S
I managed to get recovery working yesterday, and followed the steps in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155 , to create a pre-rooted 5.0.2 image. I put it on the external SD card, booted into recovery and installed the flashable zip, then used flashtool to flash with the instructions (though I also cleared Appslog, Cache and Data to get a fresh install). This went fine and everything appeared to be ok. I then tried to get the Xposed Alpha installed, but after that whenever the phone was rebooting it just hung if trying to boot to Android. I tried re-flashing with Flashtool, but still got the same issue. Would boot fine the first time, but then any restart it would just hang and crash out. Tried clearing the cache from recovery, but no difference.
So today, I went into recovery, re-installed the flashable.zip, then powered off the phone and flashed using flashtool, just as I had yesterday. Now though, my phone wont boot. It shows the Sony logo, then a blank screen, then restarts. Even worse, it will no longer boot into recovery. I hold the volume down button when the LED shows, nothing. I try holding the volume down button all the way through several bootloops, nothing.
I've tried to re-flash using flashtool which goes through the process ok, I can hold the volume down button and connect the cable once its in the process of rebooting, and it goes through all the process fine. It then powers off as expected and I can just disconnect and power on the phone. But it's still stuck in the bootloop and I don't have TWRP recovery.
Is there anything I can do to get my Z2 working?
Update - Re ran flashtool, this time not excluding system, only Partition. It now gets a little further, going to "Powered by Android" and giving the purple wavy lines, but after a minute or so it just hangs and restarts again. And still no recovery sadly....
I think I've got it sorted...
Used Flashboot again to do a flash, excluding System and Partition. This time the phone does boot up normally. The downside being that my root was gone. Despite my flashing a pre-rooted image, it seemed to just put a stock image on. And my recovery is still mysteriously gone.
In the end, just to get things completely back to a stable/stock starting point for later on, I ran a repair from PC Companion. Seems I was in the none rooted position anyway so figured I'd get myself to a more certain position. At least this way I can wait for someone to come up with a root for 5.0.2 so I can root and get recovery back.
2 months ago I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a rom, everything went fine until 1 month ago when it stopped without a reason. Restart using the red button because nothing else worked, repaired it with the Xperia companion. after that it kept hard shutting down and it won't respond to the red button in the first tries to restart(10 mins of pressing the red button), I have to try multiple times to boots back. it workes for a day or so if i flash any rom but then it hard shuts down again and i have to flash a rom again. Any ideas?
edit: i might add that i used flashtool and when it hard shuts down fastboot or anything wont work
Clean flash a stock rom using flashtool v0.9.18.6
