Removing the phone during flashing may result in hardbrick. But if your phone's bootloader is locked try repairing it with seus or pcc. Btw can it go to flashmode or fastboot mode?

Can you use flashtool and go with phone into flashmode?
Remove battery from phone for 2-3 min. And after put battery back try flash any .ftf for your phone.
The Sony Update Service:
download sony update serivce (SUS) from here: SUS
install it, and follow instructions.

So this is my friends phone, he received a notification that there was a newer android version available and if he wanted to update. I had advised him not to update this this way (OTA?), but he couldn't resist.
It had stock 2.3.3, and it was unlocked following Alejandrissimo's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254416)
Now it does not boot up, nothing happens if you press the on/off button
What do you advise me to do?
If possible I would like to put S.E.Tweaked rom v 0.7 and Inteks kernel v15 inside
So far I found this, should I follow first or second guide? Any other ideas?

Here is something to repair your bootloader after a FOTA update and phone iIn the package you have flash tool and the files you need.
Just unzip to a folder and then use flash tools.
The needed files are in the right folders.
After this you should have your phone fully back for a fresh rom install.
Use wotanserver to flash a full custom rom of your choice.

There´s not much to explain, this .sin and ftf files repair the damage bootloader and the trim area.
If you ´re unable to start phone after a fota update with unlocked bootloader.
Just plug the phone and connect it pressing back button in your xperia neo and press flash on the flashtool. And voila you have you phone live again.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254409
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.

[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again.
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards

I spent three days without my Xperia Neo, I thought there was no solution.
The green LED blinked, did not carry the wall charger, neither FlashTool, CWM worked ...
All this after OTA update from .42 (never more)
You saved my phone!
Thank you!
Bricked my xperia neo
Hi friend,
Can u pls send me another link to download following flash tool? The link given in the post does not download the tool so pls give me another link. I have bricked my phone while flashing it with a custom rom and now phone got stuck on Sony logo. When I connect it to the PC while pressing the back button, the green light turns on and the PC does not recognize the phone. Pls send me the link or suggest any other method of fixing it. Would be highly thankful to you for this help.

Thanks my friend for the interest. I was trying to install Jelly Dream rom. But I have fixed my phone. Actually the problem was with Windows 8, I tried the flash tool with Windows 7 & it did work & my phone is fully functional now. Thanks again for ur interest.
Can u pls tell me what is the most suitable & fast rom for this phone? I also want to integrate sd card to internal memory and use a portion of sd card as ram, is this possible?

Every rom is suitable and fast depending on user as to what he s happy with.. There can be no suggestions on this.
Integrate sd card to internal memory yes it is possible. Partition ur sd card to ur desired size in ext2/3/4 or fat32 format and use cronmods script. Google it. You'll find easily.
Integrate portion of sd card to ram yes thats possible too. Its known as swap partition. Use ram expander app from playstore. Keep in mind virtual ram is 10x slower than actual ram. Google it for more info.

Xperia Mini Pro U21 no signal
Dont know if anyone can help. Have a Xperia Mini Pro, which I tried to unlock from T-Mobile. Unfortunatly the phone now doesn't recognise any sim or any network. Understand that this is beacuse of the certificate used to unlock it.
So is there any way I can get the appropriate T-mobile certificate (to re lock it) onto the device?
I've tried all the obvious stuf with the Sony tool (repair / reinstall) also tried sim lock repair utils. but no luck...
I got my phone rooted

It will not, if you hardbricked it find a local repair shop that will JTAG the phone with a riffbox or with a similar hardware tool. Hardbricked my x10 mini pro and coughed up 25 euros to return it to life.

Forget PCC, it's useless. Just follow Dr Droid's tutorial. It saved my phone last year, and after flashing the stock rom from the link he provided, my phone was at it's best. No crashes, no sudden restarts.
if flashtool doesn't detect your phone, try reinstalling the driver. it's included with flashtool.
good luck :good:

Hi,
I bricked my sony xperia mini pro over a dozen times and still managed to get it on track using this method.
01) download the xperia flash tool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
02) download the latest firmware for your device from the sony support page.
03) install the flashtool then goto the installed directory... find the firmware folder and copy the downloaded firmware file into it.
eg. D:\Users\ROMI\Desktop\Flashtool\firmware
04)start the flashtool.... switch off your phone..... give it about 10 seconds... then hold the volume down button and plug it to the PC.
05)The flashtool will detect the phone... then click on the lightning bolt sign in the flashtool...select flashmode -> ok
06)then select the frimware for your phone in the next window....
07) Then press flash...
thats it. The flashtool will flash the stock firmware and the phone should be unbricked.
hope this helps.
regards
