Yeah! Locked bls are really hard to brick! Once I had flashed a ROM which was for unlocked on my locked BL! Phone wasn't starting no boot logo no LED etc but it opened up in flash mode and I recovered it by flashing stock through flashtool!

Even unlocked boot loader is hard to really brick, unless [email protected] gets clobbered, you have access to fast boot and flash mode, so a way to recover.
Have not yet seen a truly hard bricked Xperia done just by flashing roms.

As long it's not samsung emmc brickbug, basically to date, i am able to safely reflash back to stock ftf over fifty times w/o fail for xperia phone with the almighty flashtool. Luckily got my mainboard replaced for free under warranty but it will be costly if it does brick after warranty over.

even if you have a unlocked bootloader flashing your stock rom through it will also turn your phone to brand new and you dont have hours for pccompanion to download your rom

PCC doesn't work on officially unlocked bootloader phones,
ANyways flashtool or SUS is always there to rescue you ,just incase you mess things up
The safe option is to revert back to stock Rom through Sony update services because it updates the phone through flashmode when the phone is stuck or something just remove ur phones battry then configure. The update services. And when it ask u to enter in fastboot mode do as it tell u to on the screen instruction and leave it there till ur phone is brought to back life again

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

I flashed and rooted my thing successfully. I tried to flash the one in this thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065116 .And i tried flashing it with some other kernel but was in vain
did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
if yes, then you might need to flash your stock rom....(i may be wrong on this one)
Did you do the correct wipes?? Also I hope that you didn't wiped the system.....

To flash any other rom use CWM not flastool.. The complete procedure is:

You can't possibly search for 3 hours, it's in stickys or first page. You just need to update firmware, root, install cwm, and install the rom. you don't even need a custom kernel

Okay so here is an update thanks for the help:
Updated the Rom
Managed to Root Phone got super user access
Installed X-Parts
Install CWF
Located the Rom I wanted to install, installed it, went to 100% ticked reboot. Now my phone is stuck at the Sony Logo
Any ideas?
I think i've managed to unbrick it and restore it to the official stock ROM. really confused as why it got bricked in the first place...I selected all the correct options on the rom very confused, I think I'm not going to risk another attempt at Xperia Ultimate HD ROM. Can anyone see where I went wrong?
Maybe you did something wrong while formatting?

Bad wipes? You should read installation instructions. Usually is wipe data, wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik, and then install

Download pc companion or sony update service, click in sus on your phone, reinstall/repair firmware (something like that) and then you just have to plug your phone in flashmode again. It will flash the firmware (guess it will wipe data) and it should be fine
I've got the same problem as you. just download firmware for your device (search in google), then flash via flashtool.

What Was the Previous Version Of Your Android before Upgrading It to .587 ?
This Problem is very Common Among Those use .58 of 2.3.4 on their LWW before Upgrading.Just Remove Your SD card and Completely Format It , You can Copy ur music and other personal files But DO NOT COPY files created My phone like android , data , .android_secure or something simply copy those are of ur personal Interest.
Then Flash The .ftf from the link given below and flash .58 firmware and root ur device (if u wish but if not leave the step no. 3 undone and u will not be rooted) then upgrade using ur phone To .62 as a system update from the update center (do not use PC).
after that u will get a clean .62 Firmware.

Hello all of you xda-developers there.
I have SE xperia neo and I thing it is stuck in flash mode. I think that is stuck because when I plug-in usb cable from computer green led light is on, and when I plug-in charger it turns on, but it cant boot at all. There is just "SONY" sing and it is there forever.
So, if anyone knows the answer to this situation, I'd be very grateful.

Yes I tried and I know it takes some time to boot, but it was always took less then 5 mins.
And I am not sure if it' s rooted or not, because when I check with Root Checker it says that I am root, but when I open app that needs root then it says there that I need to be root.
