I've tried to put CM10 on my Xperia Sola, and i've followed the guide on the freexperia site, which i cant link.
After i've flashed the kernel, which was succesful, the phone won't turn on. It isn't recognized by my computer either. Can you help me fix this problem?

Hi, there is no CM 10 for Sola, may be you flashed wrong kernel. Try charge your phone for a few hours, after that try to put on flashmode (vol - and usb plug) and flash stock ROM via flashtool.

Oh, i see!
I did this as well:
''1.Press all 3 mechanical button on the device at the same time . Yess ! yess ! all 3 buttons, The Power button , and Both the Volume Up and Down buttons .
2.When u press all the 3 buttons the same time , the device should vibrate . One Long Vibrate and then a gap and then 2 short vibrations . Let the device vibrate like this .
3.Repeat the above procedure 3 times . ( press all the 3 buttons same time and hold untill the device vibrates 3 times
4.Once above is done , then hold the Volume Up (+) button up and connect the USB cable in .
5.The devices should boot in fastboot mode with the blue lite .
Once u have the Blue lite ... u are set to go and reflash the firmware using Flashtools or any other way . '''
And now i have the blue light again, so i can flash the right kernel.
Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I need help because I have probably bricked my Xperia Sola. Yesterday I tried to flash ClockWorkMod recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766892 ). I flashed kernel.elf via fastboot and after flashing I unplugged the phone and I pressed the power button, the phone vibrated and the Sony logo appeared then the phone vibrated again and the blue led turned on and.. nothing else! It doesn't boot and i don't know what to do I noticed that if i press volume up while the blue led is on, the phone goes into recovery mode but I don't know what to do! Can someone help me?
p.s. Sorry for my bad english!

Well, if you clicked the volume up while he was with that blue LED, and opened his recovery, he may still go start the kernel... remove and replace the battery and turn on the phone, maybe it solves.

I can't remove it! The phone has a non-removable battery!
OK, do the following, click the power button and hold it more or less by 10secs and release when you feel three vibrations . It will reboot your phone .
I followed your instruction but the phone didn't vibrate 3 times.. I'm desperate, do you think that if I bring my phone in a Sony support center they will fix it?
He turn on a Red led when you pressing the power + up vol? have to be pressed in the same time.. you can fix it easily here. you dont need to go to a sony support center now. If reset dont work , you can use flashtool to make it stock again.

If you want , flash this rom , its have root and CMW -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908 you can use adb to flash , or with flashtool , what is much more easy to use.

Out of curiosity, were you on GingerBread or ICS when you flashed this ? And is your bootloader unlocked ?
Flash a Stock as mentioned before and you should be fine.You can go Either Stock ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914264
or GB (as in the previous post).
And the Force reboot is Hold Vol Up + Power for around 15 sec. You will initially have one vibration, then three. After which it turns off.
What were you on? ICS or GB?
It's just an incorrect kernel flash. Phone can still be fixed.
I've first hand experience with this >_>
Don't send to Sony. They're useless.
Hold power + vol up for 10 secs. The phone will vibrate once, keep the buttons pressed until the vibration is felt 3 times.
Let go of Power, keep the vol up pressed. Then quickly shove the USB port in.
Flash these kernels via fastboot, depending on which version you were on.
GB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908
ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029
EDIT:
Or you can save all the trouble with the following:
Download Flashboot. After the 3 vibes, quickly hold vol down and shove the USB port in. Flash the stock ICS rom (includes kernel) which will fix your problems as well.

Oh my god! Thank you so much! My phone works again!!! I flashed the ics .ftf file and now my phone is working!!
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.

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!

using xperia u
locked bootloader
jb experience v2.1 rom
Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum, but i find it the best place to find answer to my problem...
I own a Sony Xperia P and wanted to install MIUI on my phone, i had it rooted before, installed an CWM Recovery today and installed MIUI from ZIP. (Followed the instructions on the ROM page) and then it said to "Again Boot Into CWM" so i rebooted the phone and then my problem started... The phone does an vibration after booting but no screen or LED is coming up only an vibration. I got nervous and started to search over for solutions, tried to flash stock kernels or use SUS but it seems it doesn't detect phone at flashmode. When i plug in USB i get the green LED and then it comes to an short red one and dissappears. That's all i know for now if anybody of You could help me i would be really grateful

You're pressing the Power button which is the issue mate. Turn off the phone, Connect usb cable to computer, start up Flashtool and when Flashtool prompts you, holding down the Vol Key, plug in the phone and it'll work fine
Hope it helps
Cheers

Hello everyone..i tryed to install new ROM but i installed only this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326515 .. i reboot phone and now cant power on ... If i connect charger red led flashing for 2-3 sec. and nothing happening.. if i pres Power+ Vol UP a blue led under meniu button lights up for few second and after that nothing happened... if i press Power+ Vol Down a green color lights .. and same ...nothing happened..
If i unplug charger and try to open .. only vibrate one time and nothing happening..
Any solution ? i tryed to charge it ..nothing..
P.S : i used a multimetre and battery have 3.66V
Friend, its KERNEL! I hope you used fastboot to flash the boot.img.
90% sure it isnt bricked.
Try this, switch on your device and simulaniously press upper key( dont connect to any cable)you get in cwm mode.
Check this and let me know .
What do you mean with upper key? Volume up ?
if yes i press that and for 1 sec blue led lights and vibrate.. after that nothing happened..i pressed around 5-10 sec.
And i flashed in CWM..
Well what i can see is that you have flash jelly bean kernal and you have ics stock!
When you power on the device all you can see is xperia logo and black screen right?
Power on device and continously press volume up button!
Tell me if you can enter cwm!

you are on locked bootloader right ??? you installed a custom kernel and hence u got brick ....... use Sony update service with phone switched off and plug it in when SUS asks you to ... it'll install the stock firmware and kernel and your phone will be okay.........
Simple words:-
1)download SUS
2)Run SUS
3)select phone
4)it'll give instructions how to connect phone in flashmode, do that.
5)it'll say you already have latest firmware , press repair or reinstall button.
6)wait.
7)You are done
Man, i can't entry in flashmode..the phone dosn't respont to any commands :-s
bootloader is locked or unlocked????
you have CWM installed,means your your bootloader is unlocked...i guess....
using flashtool just flash stock .FTF firmware......
i have CWM on it.. but cant entry ..i have 1 backup made with CWM but phone dosn`t respond ..

Are you sure your device is off when you're connecting it to your computer? Press and hold volume up button with powerbutton untill you've felt a vibration followed by a serie of vibrations and then try to connect it in flashmode.
must be the kernel or rom you flashed doesn't support offline charging
