Wrond forum, it should be in Q&A. If you can enter flash mode flash with flash tool (find fw around this forum). Try changing the kernel to stock with adb command (not that tool you are using) fastboot flash boot (name of the kernel). Charge it for an hour and see what happens. Post the flash tool log here.

Flash the boot.img from the CM9.1 zip file (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Then reboot into recovery by holding the power and vol+ buttons until the phone vibrates 3 times, then boot (power button) and press vol+ when the button lights come on.
Then follow the instructions given before by DavidMKD.

as far as i know, if the phone turn on any led, is still alive, try using flashtool and the original .tft, go for it in the P Development Section, download the 6.1.B.0.544 (Generic Version) and try to flash it, it might work, but you need to know this, if you flash it, you can void the warranty of the operator and if you unlocked the bootloader sony can't repair it (warranty void too) (i remember this was in the ToS of the bootloader unlock web)
Good luck.

do this, plug in the charger and let it charge (about 3 hours) and try to turn it on, if its a kernel problem, at least the phone try to boot up or turn on the backlight and get freezed, it's a OS/Kernel problem, but the question is, did you flash the correct kernel on it? remember the codename for xperia p is NYPON, inside the flashtool folders are the fastboot.exe, try to flashing a advanced kernel (the one made by DoomLoRD) and check for the phone, if it boot up until the xperia logo, everything is ok.

First, don't panic.
i made the same mistake when i flashed the first kernel, i think i messed up everything and... i recovered my phone xD
flash this kernel and hope the best, the instructions are in the post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716966
first of all dont worry just know that when u press all the three buttons at the same time it reboots and when u still keep them pressed it shuts off completely
i have an xperia p and had the same problem
what u have to do is rlly simple
first unzip the kernel (boot.img) from the fxp144_cm9.1 zip file
now copy this file into the folder in android sdk/tools or platform-tools (basically any folder with the fastboot.exe )
hope u have installed fastboot drivers
now switch off ur fone completely
and then connect ur fone in fastboot mode by pressing the vol up key and connecting the usb
(hope it goes into fastboot mode)
run this command in cmd in the folder containing the fastboot.exe
fastboot flash boot boot.img
this flashes the kernel
using falshtools u can either flash the zip file or u can do it through recovery if its alread in ur sd card
do it twice bcoz the firs time it flashes the kernel
if none works switch of ur fone completely, press the vol down button and connect the usb
this puts the phone in flash mode and u can flash ftf files of stock roms
all the best
P.S all this will work if u have an unlocked bootloader by the method giiven on sony's official site

i thing my phone is discharged. cant turn it on.
and cant charge too
keep the phone charging, the led doen't matter as far as i know.
last option is going to a sony service or something like that.
i think you should try to remove battery first. i used this method to recover my p. i opened the back cover and removed the battery for a few minutes and then did nothing but connected it in fastboot and flashed the correct kernel.
to remove back cover you have to remove two screws at the both sides and two under the bar over the camera. just remove the top plastic cover and you will be able to access the screws. then just remove the battery connector for a few minutes reconnect it and try flashing kernel again. i wish it also work for you bro. good luck. :good:

(Using CWM) when I clicked reboot system, I was stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo . I tried to Go to the recovery mode or any other modes but they don't work. Can You DEV's Help me? also when I plug it in to my computer it doesn't charge for some reason. there is also no LED notification light, is it because of the failed Flash caused all these things to happen? Help!

Flashtool method
Download the correct firmware file for your phone at the bottom of the post.
Make sure Flashtool is installed.
Place downloaded firmware file(.ftf format) in Flashtool\firmwares(by default C:\Program Files\Flashtool) folder.
Start Flashtool.
Click the lightning button and choose Flashmode.
Firmware should appear there, if you have it in correct folder. Choose it.
Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to computer, then press Volume Down button and connect USB cable to your phone.
Flashtool should detect your phone and starts flashing. Follow the instructions.
When it says „Flashing completed“, unplug your phone and turn it on.

What volume combination and stuck at the logo mean? You do flashing firmware via flashtool with device off.
It said connect USB cable and then power + vol - .I did it but nothing happened. It's still at the logo. I installed an official firmware once and a blue led indicator showed up. Now it doesn't .
Be sure that the phone is off then plug the usb cabl and hold volum down key in the same time and your in flash mod then open flashtool and see videos on youtube on how to flash ftf files using flashtool and that should be over

Wait untill you feel 3 vibrations.
What firmware you had when you installed the rom and can you give the link to the thread of the rom you installed?
Do you have ftf to original formware?
One vibration reboot, three power off.
After you will switch off, try flash tft then.

so i flashed the pacman rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372433
in this i had to fastboot the boot.img which i then was unable to.
and before that i had the same rom installed. i have the original ftf.
i instaled the latest flashtool. it says the drivers arent installed but they are.
windows says unable to install drivers.
after i press the vol up and power, after 1 vibration it goes to kernel. i waited for 5 min pressing the buttons but nothing happened.
when on kernel, flashtool says device connected in usb debugging off.
Thanks for your help!
in the flashtool, i chose the log level to debug.
then my phone was able to get to the fastbot mode and i successfully fastbooted the correct cm kernel and booted up the rom!

Did you replace the kernel image before installing? Realy weird why the didn't fo it themselves.
No ppoint to try booting the phone.
You have removable battery so try to remove it for a minute, put it back and see if you can connect in flash mode and flash original formware.
BTW what do you mean by "goes to kernel?" recovery?

sorry. i may be wrong. i meant the first image that comes when you boot like fxp logo/sony/samusung logo
btw i have fixed the problem as stated in my above post.
and i have now reflashed it.
i was using some jelly bean sony rom by divaksh (it had cwm touch) and i wanted to try the new cm10.2 rom by munjeni
i downloaded the cm10.2, put it on my external sd card through a usb micro-sd reader and then put the µsd back in the phone
i selected "reboot to recovery" from the phone's power menu (i had an xposed module for more power menu options)
then i noticed that the phone didn't reboot, but it had turned off completely
i held the power button and the phone vibrated but didn't power on
it powered on on the second try, i then went to the cwm recovery by tapping the volume down key
(i was going to make a backup of the current system, but i forgot it lol)
i flashed the cm10.2 zip (cm10.2_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.1.zip) without doing any wipes, because i wanted to get to the correct version of cwm recovery
(i would've properly done the wipes/formats from the cwm recovery that is in the cm10.2 kernel)
it finished flashing the zip and i rebooted my phone, but then it didn't power on anymore
now when i hold down the power button, the phone makes a short vibration but nothing else
.
if i plug the phone to a charger, the led lights up (red) for approximately a second and then turns off
if i hold down "volume-down" and the power button, the phone vibrates once and flashes the led (green)
i've tried going into flashmode and fastboot mode but the light doesn't stay on for long and sony mobile flasher doesn't even notice the phone even though the drivers are installed
the "hold down power button and vol-up"-thing also works but it doesn't seem to do anything else than vibrate
what should i do?

When I bricked my xperia p I flashed a custom kernel which allowed me to enter Cwm and then flashed the stock rom. I am new to this flashing thing so I recommend that you ask someone experienced what to do. I just shared my experience of recovering from a softbrick. Don't flash new things blindly but ask someone experienced before doing so.

Have you used flashtool to flash firmware before on that PC?
Have you installed flashtool and it's drivers (sola, flash & fastboot mode).?
Make sure the phobe is off, press power + volume up untill you feel 1 + 3 vibrations and see if it stay in flash mode longer.
Just Flash stock
i have nearly the same problem
my xperia u was running with 4.1 then i restored my ta backup its mine not for someone else then i pressed reboot instead of power off then my phone is dead no vibration no led except the one when i plug it to charger just one red led then nothing

how? the phone doesn't boot and flashtool doesn't recognize it
Same problem here, I think that Munjeni's post is bad written.
Ok, I fixed it, follow my instructions as they goes. You have to flash the .img kernel that CM10.2.zip comes from.
For flashing it, go as follows...
First try to install the following drivers, with Flashtool. The executable is in C:\\Flashtool\drivers
Run as adminsitrator and follow screen instructions, allow any driver install.
When it's ready, try to plug in the phone in fastboot mode (turn off, hold power and vol up and release power button, led has to turn blue/violet/pink, whatever, a color like that)
Run flashtool.
Flashtool will recognize the phone as the log says, if its not try to install drivers mannually.
If it's recognized then click the black lightning button and select fast boot mode.
At the right side click "Select kernel to flash" and browse the kernel that comes in the .zip. (in the file you've downloaded you have to extract a boot.ini because is the main kernel to make the ROM work, so you have to put somewhere else, I prefer desktop)
When selected, log writes all the procedure until it show an "OKAY[time]" message.
Finally click "Reboot device into system" in the center side and wait until boots.
It should be working now, I spent a lot of hours investigating, but finally I fixed, hope it works for you too!
If there's an error or some question, feel free to post.

That was "the long run" for windows-guys.
For Linux - no drivers needed anyways - just download fastboot from anywhere and look for kernel. Put them in a personal directory. Open and run in a terminal (some have to be login as su) "fastboot flash boot kernel.img" (or whatever kernel is called...), plug phone in usb, while press and hold power and volume-up buttons. Blue LED comes shining and terminal tell you the flashing.
Unplug or type "fastboot reboot" to re-start phone.
Sure, you also can use FlashTool, too. But for only flashing a kernel it is not needed. Only for flashing stockrom ftf. But this is another story.

If I wrote for Windows 8 there will be more than that, believe me. Managing Android with Linux is a lot easier, from flashing to programming.
But, face it, Windows is the standard here.

Red light shines for a few seconds, when plugged into charger, or computer. Flash Tool shows "Device connected with USB off", and "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode".
Pushing, holding any and all combinations of power, volume up/down produce no other lights or actions in Flash Tool. This includes pushing in the "red Reset" button, while using the above combinations.

Bootloader is unlocked. Was trying to downgrade and I think I [email protected] up & flashed a wrong tft file.

The only thing I can suggest is:
Start flashtool
Connect GPe Ultra
Hold the vol - key down (use a rubberband or the like)
Hard reset using red button
Watch for LEDs and flashtool output
Thank you Blueether. Tried just as you suggested, but no reaction. I wish there was a way to turn usb debugging on. With out that, seems hopeless.

Yes it did.
Why are you worry so much, if your device is going into flashmode and showing in flashtool you are golden.........................no need for the usb.....debugging
just fire up flashtool connect your device to flashtool and falsh any ftf file (you have to download it preferly specific for your model from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921) for your device don't exlude anything aaaaaaaand you are done.................
yepp... as the post above states, nothing much to fear at this point.. forget usb debugging... thats not relevant at this point.. just load n FTF and start flashing (without connecting the phone) till it gets to the point where flashtool will ask u to connect the phone in flashmode pictographically... connect the phone on usb (hooked to ur pc) holding the vol key down (with the phone powered off - obviously power's off thats why u scared its bricked).. u'll see a green led flash on ur phone for a sec... and on ur computer, u'll noticed that the flashing has begun.... just to be safe... to avoid ur phoney battery dying out amidst ftf flashing, see if u can leave ur phone hooked to ur charger for about 20 minutes atleast... before u atempt any of this... the phone might not turn on now... but it still can have its battery charged... alternately, if u happen to have a magnetic charger, u can hook that up to the phone the same time ur phone's connected to flashtool as welll... beats having to deal with worse situations if ur flashing gets cancelled midway... dont worry... we've all been thru it..
while ur phone's being flashed, u can download a RIC disabled modded kernel with recovery for the version of FTF u happened to flash.. download jackie's modded 681 kenel if u flashed 681 FTF... or chillychan's kernel if u flashed 290 or 136 FTF..
when flashin's done... and flashtool says unplug ur phone, do so and then much like u connected earlier, this time, hold the vol up (with the phone powered off - as it always does when flashing's over) connect phone back to USB.. this time u'll see blue led lit up continuously... thats fastboot mode... u can flash the above mentioned kernel using flashtool (i personally never used flashtool for fastboot mode) or like i do, flash the kernel using terminal (mac) or command prompt (windows) if u already have fasboot.exe adb etc from android development kit or standalone files..
then u can disconnect, start ur phone, set it up, download supersu onto ur internal or ext sd card, then boot to recovery. flash supersu and ur phone's rooted too... obviously, flashing kernel and su can be done anytime later not necessarily right after flashing FTF... i mentioned coz thats what i do... u can do it at any point it time since ur bootloader's unlocked anyway
hope all turns out well for u
This is for a GPe Ultra. No FTFs, only doomlords kernel,etc.
Make sure you know what you are telling someone in case you brick their phone.
Also note that they said it wouldn't go into flash mode.
OP can youu try the my steps again but with the vol up key held in?

Yes, tried it all again with vol up key held in, no result. In FlashTool, flash mode, I can see the FTF under firmwares that bricked me. It's a .290 ftf for C6806 models. Debating weather to try the Hard Brick method or just paying Sony to repair it.

Did you get your phone unbricked? I'm in a similar situation.

Sadly no. Played dumb with Google store rep. & sent it back. They received it 8 days ago. Supposed to have an answer by 14 days. Instead of option of receiving a new phone, that I would have to pay for, I chose a refund. If they tear it down I'm screwed. Bootloader was unlocked. Good luck to you.
Hi guys,
I have mk16i(xperia pro), and installed latest lx cm11 build. Then, I tried dark's kernel. But I wanted to revert to the stock kernel.
Now at that point, i couldn't enter the fastboot or flash mode anymore. The OS running w/o any problem. But i'm stuck with the dark's kernel(which is very battery unfriendly,10 hour standby)
When i try to connect the phone to PC while pressing menu(or back button) the LED blinks for miliseconds and the phone continues switching on normally (enter OS).
I know it is my fault to install nonstock kernel but I really need help. If anyone experienced this issue, it will be great to hear the advice.
Thanks in advance
Try taking out the battery for a few seconds, reinserting it, pressing the button for fastboot mode (I don't know which one you have to use for the xperia pro) and then you connect it to your PC while keeping the button pressed. This should work

Thanks for the reply.
I tried it many times. But no chance... The LED blinks then the phone goes into OS.
I tried to reboot fastboot via adb commands. Again same result. Directly goes to OS.
Flashtool also stucks at "Device will soon enter fastboot mode" nothing happens. Phone stays on...
Is it hw fault? I will be very disappointed if so I replaced its digitizer recently by paying too much money.) It was expensive when i bought it also... I cant stand buying a new phone these times... pff too many issues...
Sounds weird. I have made the experience that it sometimes helps to take the battery out, then keep pressing multiply and long the power button. Wait ~10 minutes. Insert the battery and try again!
Hopefully it helps!
Otherwise could maybe be kernel related. Try to flash another one (with recovery).

We are not able to flash kernel thru recovery in XPeria devices i think.
That is the main problem actually. I m stuck with this kernel...

i think you done it allready but better than have adead phone:
- re check if all drivers installed (android sdk with its google driveer, flashtool drivers)
put out battery , put in & hold volume down while plugging cabel in. (if led not stays blue, pull out abttery, put in & reconnect but hold other button like menu key) --> try all buttons
i cant imagine flashing darks kernel broke yr bootloader. theres sth wrong with your machine / setup / whatever.

Yea my fault... my main phone's a galaxy s3
If nothing works, you can still "emergency" flash a stock firmware with SEUS, or not?

if he unlocked his bootloader DONT USE SEUS! --> you get a brick...
use flashtool to flash stock ICS ftf .

Thanks for the answers. Yes unlocked bootloader.
Since the device doesn't boot into "flash" mode also, i am not able to flash ftf through flashtool or any firmware via SEUS.
I had managed to enter fastboot mode once!
Happened with USB3.0 port via "adb reboot-bootloader" command.
Still, I am not getting into fastboot again...
I will inform you, thanks guys.
EDIT: I did it once again thru adb in recovery and flashed a stock kernel. Let me see the battery drain is due to kernel or some hw damage.
I am sure hw is damaged...
Ultimately solved...
After i am able to enter fastboot mode via some funny method described above, i erased system partition and flashed kernel.sin of the official .587 ftf file of Sony Xperia Pro.
Now the device is able to enter flash mode and fastboot mode via normal ways...
Thanks guys...
EDIT: I dont understand how is it related to kernel? I thought that bootloader files are damaged which i cannot correct them.
There are many .sin files in the stock .ftf which i cannot flash any of them without flash mode.(i was able to enter fastboot mode only)

Guys please help. I am very confused now: When i connect the phone to charger(AC) when the phone is OFF, the phone tries to enter flash mode!?! Led blinks green then the phone continues to open and offline charging animation comes as usual.
Sometimes the phone connects the charger in flash mode! But doesnt connect to usb in flash mode or fastboot mode. I know it is a bit confusing but that is the situation.
Thanks...
