(Q) WT19i bricked, dont know what to do! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi ! I got a wt19i Locked bootloader, no root. One day started rebooting over and over again. I tried flashing ICS generic and the resets stopped but only if I plugged the cellphone with the 220v charger. I tried flashing with flashtool other TFT, GB 42,58, ics .. all of these ones:
WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic
WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic
Xperia_2011_Range_FreeXperia_ALL (this is supposed to unbrick anything)
WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1254-1868)
Now the cellphone wont go through the sony logo.. I tried flashing lot of tft with flashtool but nothing seems to work...
also tried SUS, PC companion but nothing works.. Light led still working, i can connect it in flash mode so i have a hope for now.. Can it be fixed?? Any help?? No idea of cmw because i never did that...
Thanks in advance!!

That's wrong. You can flash the stock rom ftf on a locked and an unlocked bootloader
Have you tried changing the battery? Maybe the reboots are power issues? Maybe try a battery you can borrow from a friend and reflash the stock rom

I rooted my xperia ray this morning and installed The Beautiful ICS ROM from sd card. When the phone was rebooting after the installation, it is stuck on the SONY logo and doesn't respond . Tried fixing it by using pc companion but was no use as it was showing some sort of an error . Mine is an unlocked bootloader. Please help me ASAP

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

I flashed and rooted my thing successfully. I tried to flash the one in this thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065116 .And i tried flashing it with some other kernel but was in vain
did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
if yes, then you might need to flash your stock rom....(i may be wrong on this one)
Did you do the correct wipes?? Also I hope that you didn't wiped the system.....
Press THANKS if I helped,

This is called bootloop... Just use flashtool to flash stock kernel.. No other way..

Thanks it worked . But whenever i am trying to flash it with some other rom i am being stuck at the sony screen only. I am unable to use any other rom except the stock rom
To flash any other rom use CWM not flastool.. The complete procedure is:
Go to cwm wipe cache, factory reset, format sysrem, wipe delvin than locate zip via sd card install zip of u stock rom... Njoy...

Are you sure you unlocked the bootloader properly ? Remember me when I did not unlocked it and tried to flash Cm10.
Or else: do you have the right kernel for the right rom ?

Download pc companion or sony update service, click in sus on your phone, reinstall/repair firmware (something like that) and then you just have to plug your phone in flashmode again. It will flash the firmware (guess it will wipe data) and it should be fine
I've got the same problem as you. just download firmware for your device (search in google), then flash via flashtool.

What Was the Previous Version Of Your Android before Upgrading It to .587 ?
This Problem is very Common Among Those use .58 of 2.3.4 on their LWW before Upgrading.Just Remove Your SD card and Completely Format It , You can Copy ur music and other personal files But DO NOT COPY files created My phone like android , data , .android_secure or something simply copy those are of ur personal Interest.
Then Flash The .ftf from the link given below and flash .58 firmware and root ur device (if u wish but if not leave the step no. 3 undone and u will not be rooted) then upgrade using ur phone To .62 as a system update from the update center (do not use PC).
after that u will get a clean .62 Firmware.
If u wish to install the ICS please install it via Offline mode as it provides u clean install and no problem (i am using it)

Right you think its useless? Or that you cant flash a custom rom with flashtool?
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
It's not useless at all, but it's useless here. For a custom Rom you need to unlock boot loader which will definitely void warranty. Be safe man.
Sent from Xperia P, using tapatalk.
download an official jb firmware for your phone! download flashtool! enable usb debugging and connect your phone to the pc! Then choose the file you have downloaded and flash it!
You can also use SUS (Sony Update Service)......BTW did you use pcc to install it or downloaded it OTA.....
Sent from Space!
Try SUS/PCC like a lot here are saying. Hope your Internet connection is enough. God knows I tried via official methods but ended up downloading a generic ftf and flashing it.

Slight correction needed IMO: You need to unlock your BL only when your CUSTOM ROM needs a CUSTOM KERNEL.
He can try to repair phone with pcc or he can unlock bootloader and install STOCK or Custom Rom, who says that flashtool is only for custom roms , With unlocked boot loader he will void warranty.. yes.. a part that... he can lock the bootloader again..and I have not seen written anywhere in his topic question that he does not want to lose warranty... so mine it was just a suggestion... not an Obligation
Take care friend

anyways. My xperia P hasn't got any official update. and i am also waitng for official update rather than a manual update, I know the flashtool method is not a risky one but still you may get some problems in using jellybean. Becase the generic version and your S.I version would not be the same. my S.I = 1261-4989 ,
I have heard many bugs in jellybean, Album issue, white screen in contact and messaging, blutooth broblem, fast drain battery prob, slow charging, lagging, etc i wants to know, are these bugs are real or just a wrong imagination. Thanks
I havent seen any bugs so far for JB on xGO. And it performs quite nicely without having to edit build.prop or run init.d scripts. I'm using CE ftf.
Let's go, xGO! To the Jelly Cave!
JB stock, locked, and rooted.

SE xperia stuck in flash mode?!?

Hello all of you xda-developers there.
I have SE xperia neo and I thing it is stuck in flash mode. I think that is stuck because when I plug-in usb cable from computer green led light is on, and when I plug-in charger it turns on, but it cant boot at all. There is just "SONY" sing and it is there forever.
So, if anyone knows the answer to this situation, I'd be very grateful.
Regards.

Yes I tried and I know it takes some time to boot, but it was always took less then 5 mins.
And I am not sure if it' s rooted or not, because when I check with Root Checker it says that I am root, but when I open app that needs root then it says there that I need to be root.
