Hello guys
I am not a mobile expert that's why i would be glad if anyone can help me.
I have bought the WT19i and i tried to update it through Sony PC Companion program. During the installation of the new os my pc crashed and the installation didn't finish! I have tried to reinstall it but my pc does not recognize the mobile anymore and my mobile does not turn on!
Is there anyone who can help me and tell me what to do to recover my mobile?

when you go to flashmode by pressing volume - button then insert usb cable
the led will turn green
and you might have to use flashtool to recover
First attach usb while holding volume button up (blue led should light up), you should get a prompt for drivers installation.
Then do the same while holding volume button down. Disconnect, then reconnect holding volume down again, if pc companion still doesn't recognize the device download flashtools and the .ftf file for your device from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792, and use that to repair the phone

While updating a new Xperia U to ICS the PCC had an error while flashing the new firmware. Now the screen lights up, the sony logo is shown for ~3-5 seconds and then it reboots.
After that I have been unable to get it recognized again by either PCC/SUS or flash tool.
I also checked my log files in Linux and no device appears.
I've tried 3 different machines (2x Windows 8, 1x Win 7), multiple USB ports. Also leaving the battery out for ~30 mins didn't change the behavior.
The green light for download mode comes on, but after about 5 seconds the light goes out and it goes into the boot loop again.
So by now I believe the device needs to be sent in, but maybe some one has a few more things I can try.
Try pressing the volume down plus volume up plus power button all 3 simultaneously till u feel 3 vibrations

Can you make sure the Flashtool drivers are installed ? Go to Flashtool Directory, open drivers directory and start the setup.. Make sure to select the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are also selected. Then, reboot System and folow this order.
Startt flashtool,select f/w, wait for Flashtool to tell you to connect to device. Then, holding the Volume down button (while phone is switched off), plug the cable into phone (The usb cable must already be connected to PC before starting the Flash Procedure )
The Order is very important.. I had same issue with U (althoguh mine crashed with Flashtool and same as what you observed. When I followed this order, I was able to get it detected and flashed )
Hopefully, you wont need to return to Service Center
let me know how it goes

No response, I've tried holding all three buttons for a minute, but it doesn't vibrate after turning on. The only way I can turn it off is by removing the battery.

I tried that right now, Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are installed. Flash tool is ready, device is plugged in with volume down pressed, green light comes on. Nothing is found on the PC, after about 5 seconds the green light turns off and the phone shows the sony logo. Green light also comes on if i simply plug in the usb without volume down pressed. So I'm thinking, the download mode has some how been corrupted?

Sorry about that, maybe a moderator can move my topic to the right section.
Are u connecting it properly???
Make sure when u connect ur cell to ur pc u have nt presed the power key
keep the phone off
Press the volume down button ( keep it pressed, dun
leave it) and connect it to the usb
U will see green light
Darn.. That looks bad.. That did it for me on every occasion. I think you might have a hardbrick due to the interrupted write cycle so I dont think any other way except to take it to Service Center
Sorry I couldnt help

Exactly what I'm doing and the green light does come on. Except it decides to go into a boot loop after it apperantly boots into download mode but doesn't stay there.

That's what I've been fearing. In which case it goes back to the seller in the hope that he will send me a new device.

Have you manage to recover your phone without taking it to service?
I'm in the exactly same situation... Any help is welcome...
While trying to enter flashmode, green light turns on but after some secs it turns off and sony logo appears on screen. any chance to recover this beautiful brick ?
thanks
After several tries (a lot of...) I manage to enter flashmode and SUS is now reinstalling sony ROM.
Honestly I don´t know how it works this time and not the others but i'm happy with it independently of what happens.
... seems flashtool is detecting ur phone try to flash first the stock kernel and do not wipe everything it shud be in timing though.. onces it is flash charge ur phone in kernel mode (phone is off) then you can flash the stock fw of ur XU.
I bricked my phone
I bricked my xperia U as well... When i tried to power ON, it just vibrates and nothing happens, i dont even get the sony logo. When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 20secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

No worries. The phone turns off because it doesn't receive any signal from the PC - many people make the mistake of connecting the device in flashmode first, and then they start the flashtool etc.
Instead, load the flashtool first, go to flashmode, select a complete/full stock ftf for your phone (whichever version you want, but do double check if the ftf has kernel.sin file in it) and press the flash button. Only once you get the pop up with the animation telling you to connect the phone in flash mode, connect the phone in flashmode (volume - button pressed when connecting cable). As soon as you connect the phone, the flashtool will start its magic and your phone won't turn off.
if you can go in cwm wipe system then you will only be stuck on sony logo then use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g.....it will work because this same happened to me and i fixed it with this method!

Bro just remove ur battery

And then u can follow the steps given in second post by maazdraco
Until u perform those steps u will have only a red led
Btw
Remove battery and reinsert
Then keep volume down button pressed and connect it usb
And let me know if there is a green light or not
I did that. Removed the battery, did wait for few seconds, reinserted it. Still have only red led on top, no illumination bar light. and flashtool does not detect the phone. I also tried to flash with battery removed.

you could do what i do with old Sony Ericsson devices like K800i/K770i/W850i. But i cannot tell you if it works and i dont tell it is safe thing. Connect your battery to phone inverted mode - i mean + pole in battery to the - pole in phone and - pole in battery to the + pole in phone. Connect this for a couple of seconds. It should reset chips on mainboard. After that connect XU to computer.
hmm
i think you have to download the latest flashtool and install the xperia U drivers
Phone must go to flashmode without drivers on PC. If not, go to repair centre
you have unlocked bootloader?

the flashtool popup was a window that asks you which phones drivers to use...in this case, because the XGO isnt listed there you choose the U,Sola,P drivers. Why would you click cancel? I think you didnt know what you were doing there..........
Take the battery out.
Leave for a few seconds.
Hold down vol down
Insert battery, keep vol down pressed
Quickly jam the USB cable in.
You should get back into Flashboot.

Use the latest version of flash tool. Install the drivers from flashtool/drivers. had the same problem for me too. use the power vol up key combinations to restart (hold till a vibration) or completely power off (hold till a vibration followed by 3 continuous vibrations).
this solve my problem! using latest flashtool has the driver for xperia go! thanks!
My phone is bricked and even if i want to flash a ftf at flashtool it doesn't sees my phone :crying::crying: When i connect the wall charger sony logo comes and red led lights then everything closes. And when i hold volume up+power phone vibrates first once then three times. please help
VOL UP+POWER =3 VIBRATION, mean you turn off the phone. No problem.
Step by step.
Turn off the phone. hold volume - and conect to computer. The led turn green?
The same, but with volume+ ¿the led turn blue?
Is very dificult brick totally the phone, we will unbrick, dont worry.

Yes if i hold vol up+power blue led comes and if i vol down+power green light comes. At flashtool i selected fastboot and selected flash kernel and flashed recovery.img as kernel. and that happened. i think thats the problem but is there a way to fix it?
Yes!!!!!! You're doing it totally wrong.
Recovery must be sideloaded via adb shell.
You'll need to flash your firmware and then follow the right steps to sideload a new recovery.

To unbrick you phone the only needed is flash your stock rom,excluding all minus the kernel. This will work and you hold your recovery with the phone working and you will can flash the root zip.

Change the order, first run flashtool,flashmode,selec the rom,check all except kernel,wait,after flastool say you connect the phone.
Turn the phone off with volume up + power until vibrate 3 times. push and hold volume- and connect the usb to the computer, the flash will start.

Interupting the process? Same hapened to me. Be sure to connect your phone only when everything is ready, so when the flashtool asks you to connect your phone, and not before. Worked for me.

That's normal, the device has to be calibrated for the first time when you connected it to the computer.
And not charging in flash mode is yet no more than normal.
