I had a Locked Bootloader and I was looking for a new Rom and the post didn't have any info about which version it was for so I tried it.
Installed no problem (I asume), then when I try to boot it up nothing will happen, if I boot without USB it will shake 1 second, red light and nothing on screen.
The cellphone won't react if I have USB connected to it :c.
What should I do?.

using flashtool?
Doesn't it need to detect the phone to do that? Since I can't turn the Cellphone on , it shouldn't be able to detect it :c

Whit vol+?
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When the phone is off and you hold down vol- while you connect the USB cable the phone enters flash mode and the small upper led is red while the bottom big led bar goes green. At least for me with a XT25i locked bootloader Xperia U.
So I would say, yes your phone is able to connect in flash mode. Just flash a stock ROM and you should be fine.
Thanks for the fast answer I will try it now.

If you have locked bootloader you can never hard brick your phone... just try fashtool I am sure it will work...

have you xrecovery 0.3? the new one, maybe do a factory reset and wipe all the things and try it again. if that even not work try wipe dalvik cach and fix permissions
my phone dont enter the XRecovery !!!
what can i do ?
no any other way to install new kernel for add Xrecovery with FlashTool ?
My Status:
1.My phone hang on Sony Ericsson logo
2.My phone cant enter in Xrecovery mode.
3.I cant install new kernel with Flashtool bcoz debugging mode is off.
I had the same problem. I made a thread about it and the solution is on the second page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340161
Basically you got a boot loop and will need to flash a new stock rom and root it again and then put your custom roms if you want.
The solution goes until unlocking a bootloader. If you don't need this, don't do it.

Alright, one thing is what you can do is.
use pc companion and going back to the original Android 2.3
and start all over again.
PC companion asks you to drag down USB,how do you do that,if you are stuck in the start up screen?

No... Just turn off your phone and take out the battery and unplug the USB.
Now hold the back button and put the battery in, it will boot in recovery mode, the green led on the top will light up.
Here you need to plug in the USB quick and flash the stock rom with the flashtool (I suggest having it already selected and the mouse on the button FLASH for quicker use, because the phone does not stay in recovery mode for long, at least mine didnt,)

i cant get the device to boot into flashmode anymore.
there used to glow a green or blue led light when i connected the device in flash or fastboot mode.
at the current state all i can get is the red led on top to glow if i connect to charger or usb.
im willing to give the device away if someone wants to change for any working sony smartphone..

Well no need to panic....
As ur saying ur device connects in fastboot mode just flash the kernel with CWM recovery (r d one u got iwth the zip in JB rom)..
den install JB from the zip (assuming zip present in sdcard)......
it will solve ............
By the way ur bootloader unlocked? or not?

I have an unlocked bootloader. I tried using fastboot to flash the kernel.elf file in the JB rom zip file but it failed. It said my device had to be rooted and all but my device was already rooted. I used the flashboot fix specified in the thread attached below. It worked and i flashed a stock rom just to be safe and get a working phone.

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...

Read the topic carefully, there is explaint about "BATTERY CHARGING CYCLES", led on mean its soft-brick. Maybe ur battery is dead, plugin charger for 15min and try to flash again.

You prepare the file for flashing ffirst before connecting your phone in flashmode. Also use a wall charger not the USB.

Yes same thing happened with me but the cause was different.
You need to charge your phone using the wall charger as explained above.
Use flashtool and hopefully you have a tft for your jb firmware. Once you're charged, shutdown your Xperia using same keys but keep them pressed for like 10 secs to be sure it has shut down.
Then connect your phone to Pc in proper flash mode and use flashtool for flashing.
