My Xperia Mini st15i has ICS 4.0.1.B.431 and i wanted to flash kernel 4.0.1.B.587 because my ICS is a custom ROM, meaning i couldn't do the official update of the kernel so... long story short i accidentally flashed the kernel for JB(don't ask me how, similar file names from same developer etc...). So since that i can't turn on the phone, no reaction what so ever, neither i can't plug in the phone via flashmode nor fastboot so that i can correct that mistake, no led indication, not even indication that it is offline charging, flashtool and official pc companion software are not detecting the phone when plugged in the computer. Please help. Any suggestions what to do? Thanks in advance...
Check sticky thread by someguyfromhell, if not solved, maybe it's a hardbrick.

I contacted the developer from which kernel i used. He believes it's a hardbrick.
So there's no chance to recover it to be functional in any mode?
I managed to save it . Luckily my phone was only softbricked and after i re-installed flashtool(with fastboot and flashmode drivers, which came with the program) and PC Companion with official phone drivers, i plugged in the phone in fastboot mode and luckily it activated that mode and flashmode as well. Then I flashed the correct kernel for the ICS and it turned on after that
Just takeout your battery wait fir a second and put it back
Flaah your keenel again and install your rom

Hello Experts,
This was the best phone I ever owned. It has best in class features (camera, touch, perf ..n ofcourse cost etc.). After the eight month of mighty use i got notification from "SUS" that ICS is now available on your device. Tried Upgrading but in next hour it was showing me touch/hang issues. So reverted back to 2.3* GB.
After a month someone said try manual upgrade of 4.0 using SE flashtool. Tried and result was almost same just that this time it was random.
Again thought of going back to GB. It worked. Used Device for another month without issues. And one night suddenly it went dead. Thought that could be the case of out charge. Did Charge using USB Cable/Power cord method but result was same. It never booted after that.
One day thought of connecting my car charger then it shown "RED" LED indicator. searched on google, someone said battery issue. Tried replacing battery with same model phone which my friend owns. But Result was same.
Finally went to Sony Service Center (Pune, India). They said phone cannot be recovered. I asked them to replace whatever it takes Upto.
Since phone was brought up from import method i couldnt claim warranty.
Sorry for the long email, now question to the experts here
1.) Can this phone recovered? I tried SUS/Flashtool my phone is not getting detected.
2.) Is there any possibility that Motherboard/chips can be replaced to get this phone into functional state.
3.) Anything else can be suggested. (Except buying new phone . i already own Spice CSLMI410)
Can u use ur device in flashmode or fastboot mode?

guess it was sorking anyway, it looks your kernel is fine, so check in flashtool if the device connects not in drivers list
if it doesnt connect, unpack ftf you can see some system,data and so on image files flash them via fastboot(unlock bootloader)
if when you press and hold the volume down button while pluging the usb cable in, green light just lights up, it means there is hope bro :good: I believe after that, you need to go to a folder named something like "x10_libraries" in the flashtool folder and need to find fastboot.exe. oh, at the same time, you should download a kernel suitable for you device which includes cwm recovery and copy that .img file to the same folder from the last sentence. then you should write(in cmd of course) "fastboot flash boot something.img". I believe it'll work, at least no harm to try and I guess this is the last possibility for your beloved xpeia...
Ok, here's the deal...
I'm trying to root my phone using a tutorial, so I have to flash .10 and .54 kernels.
When I connect the phone to the PC the Flashtool log says that the Debugging mode is off while, but IT'S ACTIVATED AT DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
So I can't continue...
PS: Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed
Sony PC Companion installed.
Have a Sony Xperia Sola MT27i, Windows XP SP3 and the last version of Flashtool.
Please help!

In order to flash the kernels u need not have to enable usb debugging
So here what u should do
Switch off phone
Keep it aside
Select kernel.ftf to flash in flashtool
Flashtool will ask u to connect phone in flashmode
Just press the volume down button (phone should b pff) of ur phone pressed and attach to usb
Try to restart Flashtool with your device already plugged in with USB Debugging on.
Sometimes happen with me. I just restart Flashtool and it detects it.
Thank you both, but if I connect the phone while holding volume down button can recognize the device?

Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......
1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6
2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!
3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).
4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.
5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!
Press thanks if it helped!

from where i can download kernel.ftf
Hi...
I wanted to flash a kernel, so I entered into fastboot mode with the "up" volume holded, and then, the blue LED appeared, but then, it just dissappeared! So Flashtool didn't flash anything.
Again, and again, one time and other, and again.
I get bored and decided to flash the ROM I had in CWM, so I flashed it from CWM and now, I cannot turn on my phone cause it makes bootlogo.
Flashtool still does the same thing with my device when I'm trying to flash any Stock Rom or Kernel.
Please, I need the phone for daily usage and for tomorrow.
What can I do? I can enter to CWM but I don't know more things to do to solve this problem...
Help, please.
Try flash the kernel via cmd.

The problem is that I connect the phone to the PC through a USB, okay, while I connect with the USB, the blue LED turns on for a few seconds, but then it turns off, so I can't flash any kernel even if I'm using flashtool or cmd.
Please... help.
When I select "Mount usb storage" in CWM, my PC doesn't recognize anything!
I could restore a backup that I have but,...
Try removing the battery on your phone and pressing power a few times, then open stock rom in Flashtool and when it says to press the back button, insert battery-hold volume down-insert cable as fast as possible...
Thanks, really...
But nothing changes...
I've installed ADB, SDK and PC Companion but my PC still doesn't recognize the phone, so I can't add my backup to CWM through "mount USB Storage"...
Help please!
Exactly, install stock ROM through an .ftf and flashtool... afterwards you can copy your backup on the phone and install a kernel with recovery

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I really apreciate
Is your boot loader locked or unlcoked?
Have you ever flashed with flashtool before?
Did you install the drivers with the installer in flashtool drivers directory(the one for your phone + falsh and fastboot mode drivers)?
Finally yesterday after three hours I could flash a stock ROM, don't know how changed but I could do it.
FINE
Thanks all!

To go to flashmode on flashtool you need to put the firmware on the correct folder. Where have you placed the ftf file?
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then fastboot is not for you and have option to use Pc Companion to repair your software if the problem is in there.
Did you install flashmod drivers for your phone?
What happen if you connect your phone switched off with hold down the button volume - and connect in the same time usb cabel to the phone?
Did you see green light?

i didnt put it in a specific folder, at the moment its in the download folder.

no bootloader is locked.
it had the original stock firmware without any modification(not even rooted) before it went dead.
the same thing happens with pc companion it doesnt detect the phn.
and yes the green light turns on.
Like i say before. Don't wait Pc companion to recognise your phone.
Just turn off the phone, charge it good, after that connect with Companion WITHOUT turn on the phone or what you want and continue with the steps.
Doesnt flash mode work even with a locked bootloader?
Maybe you haven't installed USB drivers. Go to local disk C then flash tool and then open drivers and install the drivers for your device.
And then check flash boot again.

Flashmod is for device with locked bootloader and flash on stock files.
Fastboot is for device with unlocked bootloader and for flash on custom / different from stock files.
Fastboot will not do the work after the author has locked buuloader.
Better use Flashtool with flashmode or Sony Pc Companion or Xperia Comapnion, again with flashmod / green light.

It is normal to not recognize the phone after not loaded operating system.
In the video I will share, will also see that there are unknown devices, but this is the menu models to indicate the program right model and proceed to download and install the software.
Just try it, if i understand you.
