Hi I have Xperia mini ST15i and I have a big problem.
First I enabled the bootloader ---> Fine
Second I root it ---> Fine
I want to install a custom rom ---> Crash
My phone crashed or something like that. When I turned my phone on it is Xperia(bootloader) Logo keep turning on and off. I deleted all the files on phone(removed android(I think)). Now the problem is that I see only Xperia logo nothing happens only that. I can acess boot loader but I don't know what to do next. Any Suggestions ?

Thanks for fast reply. Ill try and I will tell if will work
Unlock bootloader, install custom kernel, install custom ROM via Recovery.
Probably you missed the 2nd step.
Oh and no root is needed to install custom ROM. At all.

Switch off the phone, press volume down button, connect the phone through USB > green led ! Annd you're done

Green LED?! Blue LED must be lit up not Green LED! And also Volume Up key has to be pressed not Volume Down key.
Hold Volume Up key, then connect USB cable; Blue LED has to be lit up.
I recommend you not to flash it again, things will be worse. Give it somewhere to repair.

It's volume down. Volume up is used to enter fastboot, afaik.

Yes, and flash is possible from this way. I've not heard about flashmode. When Green LED lits up it means the phone is charging (If more than 90%).
Am I right?

You, sir, are a fail.
Blue LED is fastboot mode, not flashmode. Volume UP is fastboot mode, not flashmode.
EDIT: I see, you posted there between, before me.
Volume Down while turned off and connecting USB cable, is flashmode, where you can install stock firmware to your phone.
Volume Up etc... is fastboot mode, only used to install custom kernels(and unlock bootloader if using official way).
Got it, thank you.
Everyone excuse me for giving erroneous information.

only once the red light is blinking or it is continuously turning on when you are connecting the charger..if it is turning on then charge your mobile
for 3-4 hour..if that is not the case then try flashmode and fastboot mod..and when you are pressing power button are you getting any vibration??
if there above things dont work then your device may have hard bricked for which you have to take your device to service center...good luck

the red blinking light apears everytime i connect the charger, but for 1 sec. but now when i connect it to wall charger no red light but when i connect it to pc usb the red light apears and now it stays and doesnt go away. does this mean it is charging?!
how can i fix it with flashmode or fastboot?!
i dont think it is bricked because it was working fine 2 days ago and suddenly it started restarting!
then try to enter into flash mod by pressing the vloume down button and simultaneously connect the usb to the pc...if it is working then flash the stock ftf...if by connecting the cable to the phone through pc led is showing constantly then keep it remain like that for 3-4 hours..it might get charged.

i tried the volume down thing but it didnt work, couldnt flash my phone.
i connect it to pc and the red light appears but it disappears after 10 minutes and i have to disconnect and then connect it again to get the red light!
its on the OS, could happen any time. Probably bootloop.
install flashtool
download ICS stock room
click the lightning on the flashtool and locate where you have put the ICS stock room.tft
hold down volume before connecting the cable to the phone.
then wait till the stockrom flash correctly.

its easy to recognize it, hold turn-off button and volume-up until 3 vibrations = force turn-off
if already turn-off
then hold volume-down before inserting the cable.

DUDEEEEEEE CALM DOWN AND LISTEN. THE FIRST SIGN OF AN XDA NOOB IS TO PANICK WHEN HIS/HER PHONE IS BRICKED.
Listen to the advice of @skyfast as what he said is completely correct. Try his suggestions and update us. Flash Mode will work regardless of what state. Hold volume down then connect the cable to enter flash mode.

Hi,
I own a Xperia p, running honami moonwalker v8. Recently i decided to upgrade to CM11. I flashed the CM11 unofficial ROM from this website nightly 2 i think. I did a clean install (erase everything and clear cache) But when i pressed reboot (on cwm) i got a black screen. When you hold the power button it vibrates but screen doesnt turn on, the led goes red for about 2sec and goes off. i tried holding power button and volume up but same result, vibrates and nothing comes up. Even when I make it vibrate 3 times, no result. Im desperate guys please help me i will appreciate your help greatly. And if this means anything, when i installed zip from sd card, it just said installing, and after a few minutes, said install complete. Is this normal? since it didnt show anything in between. PLEASE HELP I WILL TRY DONATE TO WHOEVER FIXES MY PROBLEM.

1. Open flash tool (don't click anything)
2. Turn the phone off, power + volume up until you feel (1+) 3 vibreations.
3. Press the volume up key while connecting the USB cable, led should lit blue and connected in fastboot should be in the log.
4. Repeat 2, press volume down while connectiong the USB cable for flash mode, check flashtool log
If flash mode stays connected for about 45 seconds you can simply try to flash stock with flash tool.
If fastboot stays connected over 20 seconds you can flash custom stock based kernel and flash moonwalker again, or any other custom rom you have on the phone.
If none works, just leave it turned of, charging for one day then try again.
I've seen more than one report of people that recovered XP by disconnecting the battery, though it didn't work for others.
Hi there,
a friend of mine gave me her completely original and stock Galaxy S 3 Neo that got stuck in a bootloop while she was using it.
If you power up the phone, it shows the Samsung Galaxy logo, then proceeds to load the animated logo with the music, but as soon as the first second of music is played, the phone bootloops.
If I try to boot in recovery mode (Home+Power+Volume UP), it bootloops.
If I try to enter Odin mode (Home+Power+Volume DOWN), it bootloops.
Could anyone please explain to me the steps I have to do in order to recover this phone? It is absolutely ESSENTIAL not to delete the internal storage data, because she keeps there many photos of his son (with no backup... how clever)...
Thanks a lot!
Do you see the download or recovery screen before it bootloops?

Yes. It reboots after just a few seconds I see recovery or dowload mode, bu it actually loads them before rebooting. The phone is even recognized by Odin just before it reboots.
Are you sure the battery is okay and fully charged? It's possible that the power button is stuck.

I don't know if the battery is ok... I tried to remove the battery plug the phone but it won't start without. I don't have another battery to try...
It may be the power button whereby the button is stuck in the "pressed" position.

The power button clicks ok so it doesn't look like it is stuck... I'll look more into it
Edit: WTF I can access download mode just by pressing Home and Volume down, so it seems the power button IS stuck even if it clicks normally...
Although it clicks, it may be stuck in the pressed position.
If you have a multimeter, you could test the power button contacts.
I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rOCa-hQQ2Ko
Damn, it really was stuck! I hit the side of the phone a bunch of time with a pen and the button got un-stuck! Thanks for the help!

what abut the usb port thats inside the phone it self..you can easly test it by any maintenance friend with avo-meter
edit: can you enter the recovery menu?
try this...
Power off your device.
Boot in recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Sony Xperia neo L screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.

No more responses from phone.
