Hi,
I'm new to the Xperia P community and just rooted my phone today. My Xperia P still has a locked bootloader. I flashed a rom and a few mods. But felt that I did not like them. I then formatted my /system through CWM. I flashed back the rom. However, now when I try to turn on my phone, its stuck at the sony kernel logo. Is this a hard or soft brick? I am unable to go into CWM. Is there anyway to flash back to stock rom? I don't mind losing all my data.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm 15, so I can't do any hardware stuff...

Connect Phone to your PC and try doing a repair over PC Companion or use Flashtools to flash Stock Rom
Flashtools can be found in this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900172
Stock Rom can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020778
Thanks ALOT. SUS managed to work for me and restore my phone back to working condition. I wish I could click the thanks button a thousand times.

So pretty much my phone is not useable atm. when you unlock the phone it goes to a black screen where the only thing you can do is pull down the menu. you cant lock the phone back up or anything. you can also no longer get into xrecovery to flash a new rom onto it or anything. I can still use flashtool but from what I know you can only flash BBs onto the phone.
Does anyone know a way to maybe flash a new ROM onto my phone or restore it from a nandroid or anything?
I think the best way is to restore it with PC Companion to the stock ROM and then root it and put some custom ROM in.

Hey,
I am having the same issue when trying flash with PC Companion. But am running CM6.1.3 fine for a week now. I wonder what I'm gonna do when I need to go back to stock SE.
Any thoughts?

just use flashtool.... it's the best way to fix any problem.. turn off your phone, let it stay off for a minute or two, and just flash the latest firmware...
you can use flashtool like said in above post from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
and then I think the best thing is to first flash original ROM from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733&highlight=flashtool
When you have done that use the flashtool to install the latest recovery menu.
And when u have done this you can use the recovery menu to go back to your latest nandroid backup since it is still on your SD
good luck, and sorry if you already know this
Think you already found this but here is it anyway in case you didn't : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Is is guide for the flashtool with stock ROM in the thread.
Thanks to rendeiro2005

No, I mean Sony Update Service...Or if you can boot in to Xrecovery, you can use a Flashtool to flash any Rom..

First of all: We need more information on what you did, which rom and kernel you tried to pair up, which steps you took on installation, and most importantly, which model phone you have. Just saying you get a bootloop and you're not able to repair it isn't giving us much to diagnose your problem.
Secondly: BE PATIENT!!! There is no excuse to double-post the question in a different and wholly inappropriate thread like development. You won't get your answers anymore quickly and it will only result in people being less likely or wanting to help you.
so...I have a SE X10 MP with 2.1 update1. I rooted phone and unlocked BL with flashtool. Tried to flash nAa-14 kernel, done, restart the phone => bootloop, after first bootloop flash GDX v21b, CM7 2.2.1., gingersony v05, with all 4 wipes: data, cache partition, dalvik cache and battery stats. Then I tried to flash JB by nAa and CM 10 and after all I tried to repair/update phone with PC Companion, SEUS and SUS but all methods results in bootloop the phone.
I attached some print screens with some steps

Download this, it's complete kernel and firmware (2.1 original SE generic) to flash with flashtool. It comes in at 213.5Mb, although the site may indicate a smaller size.
Put it in the firmwares folder and flash with flashtool.. Hope that will solve your bootloop issues.

Hello,
today I wanted to restore a CWM restore on my neo V (.587), but i forgot that backup IS GINGERBREAD. Now the phone is softbricked. Flashtool is stuck at around 13% (system.sin) and SUS also cannot succesfully flash. I googled for solutions, but haven't found any. Alsom my bootloader is locked (unlockable). I tried flashing two different 587 FTFs, none flashed. Also, should i check or uncheck the final verification? Please help me! :crying:
After restoring the backup,of GB you can just flash a GB kernel ... This soft brick is caused as you had ics kernel on a GB Rom which won't boot!
Try flashing a GB kernel .... Instead of whole Rom ...

I already half-flashed (stuck at ending flash session at 14%) ICS with flashtool so i,m afraid that won't help me.
By the way, will Sony repair it? How expensive will the repair be? :crying:

Since they can't turn on phone in this condition, meaning first they need to flash it, root will be gone after that.
And you won't do anything stupid like telling them you used some unofficial program for flash, right? .
So there is no way they will know you root it and used flashtool.
And now about your problem. Are you using latest flashtool?
Can you show us log of flashing?
And what is exact problem when you try flashing it with sony update service?

Okay, will try to flash again. The log looks perfectly okay, as usual, but while flashing system.sin, it freezes for a few minutes (at 14%), and says Ending flash session and will stay at this message forever. I'm on Flashtool 0.9.8.0, and i guess i won't try to flash it again. I'm bringing it to a repair center (is that the right word? my english is not the best). And the phone CAN be turned on, but will only show the Sony screen and then the "orange triangle and a phone" screen. Guess they won't find out about the flashtool, I'll just say that I was updathing via SUS (in fact, it WAS the last thing i was doing with my phone ) and they'll hopefully fix it. Thanks for your help, next time I'll update my Flashtool.
If you haven't took your phone to a repair center yet, try this (i had the same problem):
Try reinstalling the drivers flash tool needs to recognize your phone.
If that didn't work, try another PC or another Windows. Sometimes the problem is pc, not the phone.

Hi everyone,
First of all I would like to say sorry if I am posting the same question as other users before this, but I haven't seen any similar one.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100G).
Yesterday morning after I fully charged my phone, I got some error which I can't recall what it was. (Sorry! )
Then the battery drained very fast so I offed my phone and took out the battery to check if it was alright. Then I put it back.. and I'm stuck at Samsung logo (the big sharp S). I tried restart many times, wiped cache, replacing another battery but the problem remained the same.
I haven't factory reset it as I am afraid the photos and videos in my USB Storage will be wiped. :crying:
My phone is running on ICS and I have never rooted it before.
Can someone teach me what should I do to get back my data in the Internal Storage??
You kind help is very much appreciated.. Thanks alot in advance!!! :crying:
Infact you can wipe factory data. If you connect your mobile to pc and if you have any recovery software installed in your pc then you can recover your data.
Boot into download mode and flash compatible Siyah kernel (.tar version) for your rom version.

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your reply! But I'm a noobie here.. Do you mind directing me to any tutorial on how to flash it with the Siyah kernel? And how do i know if it is compatible with my rom version? Will I be able to get back what's in my internal storage after I do that? Thanks for your advance help! :angel:

first you have to read n search...
flash siyah kernel via odin n DONT do any kind of wipes in stock kernel if you are on ICS 4.0.4. it has brickbug.
And all yr pics music movies will be safe by flashing kernel so dont worry about that. Factory reset or wiping data will erase yr user accounts, apps, contacts, SMS, call logs.
