So my phone is bricked. I have tried to unbrick my phone with the flashtool but it didn't work. The flashtool is working. First I flasht the jellybean software 6.2.1.100 with no luck, then i tried to flash the stock rom also with no luck. I also tried to relock the boot loader.
The thing is, the flashtool says that the flash is finished and i can start my phone but when i try the led flashes red a few times and then nothing.
Also when i try to charge my phone the led first gives a red light, then green for a longer period and then red and after that nothing happens.
Can someone help me cause I'm out of options now.

32.A.1.100 is stocl rom so which one do you mean by stock?
Did the relock finished with syccess? Maybe you can try to repair with PC Companion if you have used it before.

You said it brother!!
Thats what I would try......Press power and volume up button together... Wait until ur phone vibrates 3 times... Then again go in flash mode n try flashing stock ics FTF file
If i doesnt work, try reinstalling everything , flashtool and all drives.
Before all that try to flash the kernel and then flash a stock based rom
If the problem exist after that try this one

Hi guys. My device(St15i) wont boot at all. It was rooted and boot loader was unlocked as well. I used Cyanogenmod 7.1 for sometime and then flashed it with Stock rom after that. It was working absolutely fine. 2 days ago, I connected the phone to Wi-Fi and scanned for latest updates. It showed me that there is an update available(I guess it was for firmware as i did not had .62 on it). I knew it was rooted but still because of some teething i guess, i said yes to the upgrade. It downloaded the update and the phone restarted. It started with the unpacking screen and then turned off...Now whenever I try to turn it on, it doesn't boot. I can just see the green LED on the top(beside the power button) flash once every second when I hold the power button down. But it wont turn on at all...I tried flashing the device again with flashtool, but it doesnt work. I cant flash a new kernel because I cant connect it in flashmode or flashtool mode. Whenever I try connecting it and flashing any kernel, it says <waiting for device>. I have all the drivers installed but still cant get it to work. Can someone please help me with the problem....

just extract it put it in firmware folder in your flashtool..and just flash it..it will take some time..but dont lose hopes
Ok great...I downloaded the file and have copied it in the firmware folder for flashtool....Will connect it in the flash mode(Volume down + USB connect - turns green light on)...Is that the correct way?? And what is suppose to happen after that?? Do I have to again flash it with the Stock Firmware??

I pulled off the battery to turn it off as the power button wasnt working. it turned off but i cant turn it on again. i held the power button for more than needed as well, but still not turning on. when i connect the phone into charging i get the charging logo. it means the phone is working fine but it does not turns on. What could be the problem??
Better do a cmplete wipe. . Use flashtool to flash .42 firmware. . I assume u hav backups of everytng. .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626215
I hav the link to fw .42 n the abv thread. .
Download the firmware. . In flashtook check wipe user data and wipe cache. .

Hi all
Im kinda desperate, my phone froze after i deleted SystemUI.odex for some mod. So long i have tried recovery factory reset, new img, new kernel, nothing seems to help.
When i power on my phone the boot logo just freezes for forever, it dosent go to boot loop.
If anyone has any ideas how i could get it to work again then please share.

Tried flashing a complete firmware with Flashtool in flashmode?
Turn off device -> hold volume down -> connect USB cable. Led will go green. Then you can flash your device with flashtool.

Hi everyone...
Yesterday my sxp was working alright when i decided to relock bootloader. So I used relock ftf file and flashed it via flashtool. Now I used SUS to update my phone. But when i pressed Vol down and plugged in usb, i just got a red led and sus didn't detect my phone. I thoght battery is not enough, now the situation is:
***when i connect my phone to wall socket, red led turn on for few seconds,then it turn into green led for 1-2 second and then led goes off.
***if i try to use power + vol up/down....no vibration...only blinking red led for couple of seconds
***phone is not being detected by SUS or flashtool, as connecting via usb holding vol down button only gives red led.
I am stuck here. Any help is appreciated.
Which relock file did u flashed... And after that did u flashed stock firmware also???

Its even better if you flash stock before you flash relock tft. Stock kernel works with locked and unlocked bootloader. But if you are using custom or cm kernel, then it will cause exactly what happened to you...

Ohai there... Had this problem myself, and i found out that you have to flash stock firmware after relocking... This also happend to my XGo, and flashing stock firmware fixed the problem! Hope you have a working Xperia P afterwards!
Also charge your phone over night before flashing!
If u cant turn ur phone after hours of charging. ..Take out battery...charge with auto charger...put it on..it will vibrate than flash it...

Wait untill you feel 3 vibrations.
What firmware you had when you installed the rom and can you give the link to the thread of the rom you installed?
Do you have ftf to original formware?
One vibration reboot, three power off.
After you will switch off, try flash tft then.

Actually before that i was trying to port a rom but it didnt work out.
so i flashed the pacman rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372433
in this i had to fastboot the boot.img which i then was unable to.
and before that i had the same rom installed. i have the original ftf.
i instaled the latest flashtool. it says the drivers arent installed but they are.
windows says unable to install drivers.
after i press the vol up and power, after 1 vibration it goes to kernel. i waited for 5 min pressing the buttons but nothing happened.
when on kernel, flashtool says device connected in usb debugging off.
Thanks for your help!
in the flashtool, i chose the log level to debug.
then my phone was able to get to the fastbot mode and i successfully fastbooted the correct cm kernel and booted up the rom!

Did you replace the kernel image before installing? Realy weird why the didn't fo it themselves.
No ppoint to try booting the phone.
You have removable battery so try to remove it for a minute, put it back and see if you can connect in flash mode and flash original formware.
BTW what do you mean by "goes to kernel?" recovery?

phone is not detected on pc and can't start phone in fast or flashboot,the LED turns green for 1 or 2 sec than turns red then the phone start (sony logo then black screen)
Then install drivers again
Install those from flashtool\drivers folder choose the ones for xperia u,p,sola,go and last 2 optins also, thats fastboot and flash drivers.
Open flashtool and try plug phone in fastboot mode, watch the led, if it start booting remove phone and watch right down on your pc screen to see if its installing. When it finish try again.
This is 99% of these problems...

Force power off, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations and try.
Try fastboot too and see if there is anything in flashtool log.

if the led is turning green it means you can. but if you dont immeadiately flash stock firmware. it will boot. so you need to prepare stock ftf firmware for your device, choose it, wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode. then connect your phone in flashmode
