I've bricked my Sony Xperia U by installing the wrong kernel.. (a kernel for the N700)
i know its stupid etc etc, but it only gives me a green light when i plug it into my pc.. it goes in flashmode automatic.
So i still can acces flashmode and fastboot mode.. what can i do know?
ive also tried to run this 'UnbrickingXperia2011.zip' over my phone, also tried stock firmware and stuff. nothing will work
Maybe you've got a solution?
Sorry for my bad grammatics or something, i\'m kinda high
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick respond!
I've done that a lot, it goes perfectly etc. but when i unplug and boot its still the same..
So i've tried to run UnbrickingXperia2011.zip and that gave me an error, but that is fixed as soon as i first flash the stock rom, and after that the UnbrickingXperia2011.zip it gives me no error but it doesnt do anything..
Edit: now the error also comes after i flashed the stock rom..
Anyone else?
Please?
I've copied the log:

He says you should flash a kernel with CWM built in. After you've done this you can boot into recovery mode so you can flash any custom ROM you want.

Ohh okay, so it also works even if you can't get your phone 'on' (i can only get Fastboot and Flashmode)
Recovery will work even when the phone won't boot (if there is a working kernel installed).
Like this?
And then?

I'm unable to view your attachments, but this is very easy. Just find yourself a kernel with CWM for your Xperia, then flash it using fastboot.
Start in recovery mode, find yourself a custom ROM for your Xperia and install it using CWM (recovery).

That's the kernel you need, if your phone model is ST25.
But please notice the following:
No USB connection in recovery whatsoever (no adb, no USB mount etc.)

This means you CAN'T put any ROM on your sd card, so the ROM should already be placed on the sd card in order to install.

What custom Rom is that in your screenshot?
Just get fxp 204 from here and fastboot only the boot.img which can be extracted from the zip file. It comes baked with cwm, you can use this to flash other roms.
I'm not sure about the cwm link you posted.

That's the right way. Use that command to install the kernel you linked, then boot into recovery to install the ROM that's already on your sd card using CWM (ROM must be in .zip format for CWM).

I bought an x10 from a friend today and now I was trying to unlock the bootloader using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087 however after the batch file finished it got stuck on the SE logo. After waiting a while I decided to just go back to 2.1.
I downloaded X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435 and tried to use flashtool to flash it but here is the log:

Any ideas how I can revive my phone? I have the PC companion but when I go to phone update -> repair phone, it keeps giving an installation error.
Edit: I forgot to add that I can still get into xrecovery.
were you at 2.3 when you tried to unlock the bootloader??
Yeah, my friend had some sony ericisson 2.3.3 custom rom on. (Wolf something?)
you were supposed to switch back to 2.1 before attempting to unlock the bootloader.
That thread says that it can be unlocked from any rom.
However I don't know what went wrong.
oh sorry about that you needed to downgrade your kernel. did you check if your phone was eligible with the tool provided in the thread. if it says your phone is able to goback to the flashtool and downgrade your kernel and retry unlocking your bootloader. dont do it though if your phone is not elible for the unlocked bootloader.
Yeah I ran the tool and it said my phone was SEMC simlocked or something similar. So I first downgraded, ran the batch to unlock then I got stuck at the SE logo. Been trying to get my phone to boot (to any rom right now then I'll try to unlock the bootloader again).
Any ideas?
did you flash doomlords kernel?? and from what i remember there were 2 applications that came with the file provided. if one doesnt use the other one.(if i remember correctly)

I didn't get that far. All I did was flash the kernel downgrade, then ran the batch file. After it was successful I noticed my phone was stuck on the sony ericsson logo so I didn't continue with the rest of the instructions.
ok then just flash doomlords kernel. if you dont see the white sony ericcson letters after flashing doolords krnel, then you should be in the clear

Hi,
Attempt to restore your bootloader via this tool and attempt your unlock again.
NOTE: Make sure you have the stock Sony Ericsson kernel installed.

Ah crap..what if I had the free xperia kernel on? I just did a restore with that on and I can't flash the downgrade kernel..
Btw, I was able to flash doomlords kernel by trying it on another computer. But I think I messed up somewhere so I wanted to start over. And I restored w/out flashing back the stock kernel.
I just downloaded the kernel+baseband package from here and see if I can flash it via flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192152
Edit: ok, that was a close call. Now lets try all this again
Edit2: Okay bootloader unlocked. Flashed the free xperia custom kernel however when I get into CWM-based recovery I get the following error: "Can't mount /sdcard/" whenever I select choose zip from sd card. I was getting this before but I that thought that may be because I didn't flash the bootloader correctly but now I don't know what's causing it.
1. Download FTF needed http://www.mediafire.com/?o4v5ttaqsjhv3aq
2. Download Flashtool http://www.4shared.com/file/Ot3fyDJf/flashtool-0670-windows.html
3.install flashtool , install the drivers inside the flashtool
4. put the FTF you downloaded in the firmware folder where the flashtool is installed
5. Enable usb debuggin and switch off your phone
6.click on the FLASH icon on flashtool window,choose flashmode
7. if you want to keep your apps and data, uncheck wipe cache and data,its better if you check it but you will lose your data
8.follow the onscreen instructions , it will tell you when and how to connect your phone
9. you will get error at 99%, but your phone will start in ICS...

From AdMoBiLe!::LGP698
I installed a ROM with its kernel (concretely, THIS rom with the recommended kernel) using CWM, and when I reboot it gets stuck at Sony splash... It's been like that for almost two hours.
So the question is... is it bricked? (I think that's a stupid question, it sure is...) Can this be repaired? Or I have to ask Sony for help (if possible)?
if you can get into cwm ..... try to reflash the rom....follow the steps given by the dev...wipe delvic/data etc..
if it does not work or if you cannot get into CWM reflash with night-elf kernel...
u r phone is not bricked :good::victory:

do u have ur bootloader unlocked...???if not unlock it first...
Well, I guess it actually was unlocked... if not, how do I check it without entering the system or CWM?
if it is unlocked u will be able to flash it with other kernels
do you have latest version of flash tools??
try to download it and try again......if u have unlocked bootloader....it should work
if nothing happens use SEUS to restore

I installed a ROM with its kernel (concretely, THIS rom with the recommended kernel) using CWM, and when I reboot it gets stuck at Sony splash... It's been like that for almost two hours.
So the question is... is it bricked? (I think that's a stupid question, it sure is...) Can this be repaired? Or I have to ask Sony for help (if possible)?

Firstly the good news is ur phone is not at all bricked ..i think u somehow installed the wrong kernel or something ..thats y the problem ..i had the same too about 3 days back ..u need to got back to the stock Rom ..and everything will be fine ..i think you knw it but i am telling u again : U need unlocked boot loader to flash custom ROMS
Now lets begin installing ur stock ROM
If u unlocked ur bootlaoder using the official method go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335&page=2 and relock it but DRM keys wont be back ..but u r bootlaoder will be locked again
1) Here : download the stock ROM http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0 and install it through flashtool or go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 to download stock ROM
2) Follow the instructions in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141
3) Now u r on stock ROM with stock kernel ..root ur phone again using doomlords method given in the link above.
4) install CWM
5) Unlock ur boot loader again (u cannot unlock it using the official way unless u have the boot loader key that sony gave u when unlocking the boot loader )

You know, using SEUS fixed my phone. Checked bootloader, and it's UNLOCKED. Thanks a lot to everyone! Thought I already lost my phone... Again, thank you all!

You should have flashed the nAa-kernel with MiniCM7.
How did you flash your stock ROM?
BTW, as long as you get a kernel-logo your phone isn't bricked at all
I'm flashing the stockrom by using the flashtool but it gives error, I cant get into recovery so I cant install update from sdcard.

Download this, it's about 211MB, although the download may indicate otherwise, just wait till it's finished. It's SonyEricsson stock firmware, flashable on locked bootloaders.
Put it in the /firmwares subfolder of where you installed flashtool and flash it to your phone. (By the way: If there is a x10blrelock.ftf in there, delete it, if you flash that accidentally, you will have bricked your phone)
This should prevent the error you got earlier when flashing stock firmware and get your phone back in working order.
If you want to upgrade your phone to MiniCM7, you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash the nAa-14 kernel for the E10i. There are links to instructions for that in the kernel-threads opening post.
I need help urgently :'/
which flashtool I need to use? I already downloaded that one but Im receving error while flashing it

Did you try a repair with PC Companion or with Sony Update Service?
