You need unlocked bootloader or for locked bootloader this: WWW(DOT)play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=cs
But, always you need root. It´s good for backups, installing ROMs and much more
Install x-parts from google play, start it, then hit Install CWM. Your phone must be rooted to do this.
I have installed it already guys!!!! After installing it said 'installation is complete please reboot and use the options'' how to use it further guys can anybody tell me???? All says,flash it via cwm but how flash any file????

Did you try rebooting into CWM?
Turn off the phone, then, turn it on again, when the sony logo comes up, wait abit for it to flash then spam the volume down button until it comes up.
If it still didn't work, spam the power button instead of volume down.

okay see what you should do exactly is that when you reboot your phone and the device turns on... as soon as you see the sony logo keep pressing the volume DOWN button and tadaaa you'll go to the cwm menu
if not keep pressing the volume DOWN button as soon as your phone vibrates after the reboot
click "THANKS" if it works
Try spamming volume up

I had a Pc...!....Cellphone logo so after that I tried flashing it but in the middle there were some errors which caused the player to turn off. After turning it back on it is Black Screen but you can tell the difference that it turned on. I tried going into the download mode but I couldn't. I know that there is a simple fix for that because that happened yesterday and I was able to recover it but then I messed up again.
turn it off and press and hold power button and volume up button same time select reboot now should work xD
Didnt' Worked

Does it turn off? I did brick mine one time and had to remove the battery before being able to reenter download mode.

Yes it does
You may bricked you device.do you have CWM installed? If yes,press volume up(hold)-power button(until Samsung logo appear(4-5 secs)) Then
Backup and restore>backup
When this finish restore and you are maybe done...Always before flash a ROM Back up with CWM!!!
If no,tell what rom you where trying to install,and we WILL fix it.
Don't forget to press the tanks button

I was trying to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850. And I don't have it CWM installed. First I did the Intl. so the digitizer was responding up-side down and then I tried getting it back to US but didn't work. This is my first android device so I don't know much but if there is another way or post which tells how to get back to factory perfectly fine then tell me.
The reason I did this all was because whenever I tried to turn on the wifi it said Error and sometime turning on and then error again.
You mean wifi don't work?At what rom is this happening?stock or the one you installed?look,if you don't have CWM you can't install a ROM,so neither brick your device.I'm sorry,but there is a chance to fix it ONLY if you find a way into download mode.I am starting now the post about CWM.In about half an hour it will be posted and I will give the link

As my past experience of brick phone is repair it using SUS or PC Companion but if your phone locked bootloader, OR maybe try to enter fastboot mode.

My past experience with a broken bootloader device is to send back to sony or a repair store. They have a type of cable call JTAG that connect directly to the device main board, then rewrite the bootloader! It cost me 15 bucks in a repair store and a couple of hours!

If you only flashed a kernel that's not meant for your phone, you must be able to enter fastboot mode.
- Plug your phone into your laptop or pc
- Press keys to do a reset (volume up + power key for 10seconds) on your phone
- Immediately after the vibration press volume up (the key to enter fastboot mode)
This should work for Sola too, it works for Xperia S

HI
i also had bricked my Sola few days back . then i read this thread on the forum and tried something a lil radical for from the various methods other friends suggested to unbrick and it worked and now i have normal working Sola with .184 fw . here is what is did .:
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 .
I hope it works for u as well .

How you did it?
As soon as the Sony logo or anything shows up on screen, start pressing the Volume Down key ( Not holding, press repeatedly) and you'll get a vibration. Keep pressing a few more times and you'll get into CWM
Im assuming you added CWM already though
If you have any issues, reply here

I accidently booted my phone without loading a ROM onto it and now it won't even start. It doesn't even vibrate. HELP!!
Try holding volume up + volume down + power for a few seconds. If the phone vibrates, let go of the power button. You should have booted into recovery.
nope nothing

Can you put it into any boot/flash mode when connecting it to your computer?
If so, for a quick fix I would flash the device using Odin or Flashtool and load a Rom that way.

You gotta get into download mode somehow either with computer and Odin or through different button combination on device try Heimdall as well might be able to use that but if you can't get into bootloader or recovery then it's a wrap

How exactly do I flash/boot via Odin?
There is no change when I plug in my phone into my computer
Yes, do as UncleLester has said. Try hold volume down + power for 10+ seconds. If you're able to go into download mode, you can restore to stock. If the phone doesn't turn on at all, I'm not sure what else you can do...
yeah, I held down the volume up + down + power for almost a minute. Nothing :/
I'm with jpark623 with that if none of the above work I'm afraid your a bit stuck.
What device is it by the way? And how did you get into this mess?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Download mode is accessible by volume down + power. Recovery mode is volume down + volume up + power. Don't press volume up for download mode.
My phone is not even recognized in the ID:COM Section
Were you able to access download mode? If so, then you need to install drivers. If not, you NEED to be in download mode.

There is a thread with a link to a Flashtool download or do what I done and Google Odin and download that.
Odin and Flashtool are programs that make flashing a little easier, the device needs to be put in a fastboot/flash/recovery mode (depending on device it's usually a combo of volume up + volume down or sometimes including the home button) when it's in it, Odin or Flashtool will detect it thats when you can select your chosen Rom.
I use Odin more than Flashtool just because I came across it first and it's never let me down however I haven't used it in a while, when I downloaded it though it did have a little 'how to' guide so everything you need to know will be im there.

I was trying out different custom roms that I had downloaded. I had just finished one and decided to change it. After booting it into recovery mode, I had wiped the cache and reset it back to factory settings. I tried to load a roam named "JZO54K.N7000XXLS7". It errored and stopped trying to install. Afterwards I ended up wiping it again and resetting the cache to make sure there were no remnants. Following this, I rebooted the phone and now i'm in this position

From just reading that I think your device has had it, if your getting no response from those combos them I doubt the computer will read it as it wont have power.
