You have to reflash your rom. if you want the stock , go for here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838457
Download the ftf file, and flash it with FlashTool , and its gone.
You probably have to root again your phone...

Hello,
Well, First, to root I've used this http://www.techclap.com/9936/root-sony-xperia-p-lt22i-phone-tutorial/
Then after crashing my xperia with CWM, I've reflash my phone with the previous kernel.elf and it's ok.

Do this
Install flashtool and flash stock firmware.
wait till flashtool tells you to connect your phone in flash mode.

In flashtool download drivers manually and it will do the job.

First thing coming on my mind is - do you have flashtool so you can flash official ICS for your phone?
If so flash official ICS via Flashtool, that will wipe everything.

Buddy, if your bootloader is unlocked, you dont need to do it again, it will be unlocked again.
Flash global ICS stock, fastboot mujeni's recovery in Sola section and thats it.

i cant find it should i look in sola q/a section or development
Edit: Whoops, it's Xperia U. Go check their development. There's one there somewhere
First get your phone in order, then think about flashing custom roms.
Anyways:
Power + Volume up till you feel 3 vibrations
Then quickly press vol down, shove USB into port.
You should be in flashboot. Flash ftf file via Flashtools.

(Q) Bricked Sony LLW!

Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:

First of all you don't need to try PC Companion as it won't work on an unlocked bootloader!
Have you tried flashing another kernel in fastboot mode?

The Sony PC Companion trick worked. My phone is working fine now. Only thing is it is now in GB 2.3.4 and bootloader is also locked. I have to start again from scratch and root my device to update it to JB

That's strange as PC Companion doesn't work on an unlocked bootloader normally. Did you lock it again or did it just work like that?

Don't really matters, the img is flashed with ROM anyway, problem you installed ROM for different phone.
Turn the phone off and flash stock with flashtool, then start over, with ROM for your phone this time.

Okay, flash mode and fastboot mode drivers installed I assume.
Download stco rom FTF, put it in flashtool firmware directory, start flash in flash mode, choose the file you have dowanloaded, wait till flashtool ask you to connect in flash mode, turn the phone off (press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations,) connect the USB cable while holding volume down key.

Yest that flashtool.
There only stock rom FTFs no others, you will have to search your phone android development forum for one.
Open flash tool, turn off your phone, connect to the PC while pressing volume down key, flashtool should display "device connected in flash mode", and it should stay connected for about 45 seconds if no flash is being made.

Just try if you can get flash mode to work without flashing anything as I explained. This is the key for recovery.
You can also create your own FTF.
Start update with PC Companion until it asks you tp connect in flash mode, then quit and build the FTF with flashtool.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not then you need to go through the dualrecovery method from NUT.
What I suggest you do is use flashtool, connect your phone in flashmode and flash an official firmware ftf to bring back your system. After all that then you can go through the whole rooting and dual recovery again later.
