Strange Bootloop problem - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi,
So yesterday I wanted to reset my phone because it was getting a bit to laggy. I full reset it through the wizard on the phone and it went in instant bootloop.
I had flashed ICS on my Xperia Sola before and unlocked the bootloader.
I tried googling for some solutions and I followed this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/how-to-resolve-softbrick-upgrade-to-ics-t2023135
But the problem I find is that it just does not work for me. I always get this error on flashtool:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also tried restoring it with the Sony program but when I try to connect the device I get an error that this cannot be done with a windows 8 computer.
If anyone knows how to fix this I would be so greatfull..
Thanks and kind regards!

Anyone?

Try setting compatibility mode for the programme you are trying to run on windows 8 that don't run

From the flashtool log, your phone seems to connect and instantly disconnect from flash mode. Try using Win 7 with proper driver (flashmode,fastboot and adb) first if you can. Otherwise check your battery too if it depleted.

Got the same on W7, how do I check if the battery is depleted? Since its a hardboxed battery.

Fastboot
about 1 month ago, i got this error
try flash any kernel which has RECOVERY, then enter to recovery and give it FULL format, now reflash your ftf or push custom rom and flash

Just press the power on button. If the red led blinking means your battery is low thus you cant boot your device up. If no red led blinking then your battery depleted.

Pull the battery from the phone then put it back in after a few seconds, then switch on or keep it switched off and connect to pc via usb and use seus or flashtool to repair the phone

Nice tip but the x10 Mini has no "loose" battery.
if this is a "bootloop" you need to use SEUS and redo the whole thing with root and reainstall everything inc. custom ROM.
What you could do with the battery is:
Take back cover off, there is a small rubbery "plug" pry that away from the phone.
Beneath that rubber you can see a white electrical socket.
That socket is connecting the battery to the phone.
That COULD dp the trick.On occassions..
Yeah when I posted it I didn't notice he meant mini, was my bad, flashing with seus is what I also mentioned so can forget pulling the battery part

It is NOT a button, it´s a humidity test tape that is hidden.

You can always pres the home and power buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot. Pressing the back-button several times when the kernel logo shows up should get you back into xrecovery.
If you need flashmode, press home and power and as soon as the screen goes off (completely black) press the back-button with the usb-cable already attached to your computer and your phone.

Fail to boot 2

I need help with this. How can I repair this. What do I need to do? Please help.

What you do is start by downloading RSD If you have that, good, if not, I have attached it to this post.
Secondly, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666 and follow the instructions for flashing this SBF file.
Third, whatever you did, don't do it again.
Fourth (Optionally) Flash a ROM of your choice after unlocking the bootloader if you want a full ROM, again, follow the instructions of your chosen ROM.
Those steps should get you back up and running.
Doesn't seem to work. It comes up fail when I try uploading the sbf file.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It comes up as failed? Did you flash it via RSD? And make sure you were in RSD mode on your phone? Not in fastboot.

I think your battery is too low according to your photo. Try connect charger, take out battery and put it back. It will show battery percentage.

You should be able to charge the battery even with the phone off. Then try to boot it.

Fix
Sorry that I didn't reply any sooner. This is what I did, since when the phone is with that problem won't charge the battery nor with charger nor with USB, so, I ran out of juice... I had to get an universal charger to charge the battery and then I flash it with RSD. I've flashed this file 154_5 sbf, once I got in, I flashed the updated one. It worked pretty good.
You can check the original thread here
Thanks for helping but unfortunately the phone turned out to be dead. After charging the phone, it didn't turn on and I had no choice but to get another one. I must have fried the phone or something.

i have fail to boot 2 too.
i can fix it.
1.put micro usb to phone and charger.
lcd will show "failed to boot 2 " "starting RSD mode"
2.and up sbf from RSD. you can recover phone.
good luck..
can confirm
what you need to do is to open ur cmd and log in ur adb as if you were going to flash CWM.Instead,do this ,moto-fastboot reboot and your phone will show RSD mode and bam your good to go.Thanks ceuticco good work
what if it fails to flash, gets to 100% then says Fail?
What are you trying to flash?Or you trying to unlock it? If your using pudding sbf file then its normal for it to say fail just pull the battery and reboot the phone and it should say unlock in the top left corner.

Manuali...open device manager and manualy install.
About language.....if you are rooted then install root explorer...go systen/app and delete your bloatware etc..setupwizard.apk and those apps. Its my opinion.

I flashed with latest rom and global.
MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_GLOBAL.7z

Problaly something went wrong.
You can try edit your build.prop and disable setup function.
But make backup. For editing you can use file managers or some apps.

[Solved] [Q] [XPM] Unable to go to fastboot mode!

Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader of my SK17i via the testpoint, now I am trying to install a custom kernel (rage kernel).
It seems that there is no way for the device to go to "fast boot mode" it goes to "flash mode". I really don't know what the is going.
I even tried the "Reboot into fast boot" option, nothing happened..
I installed without any error the drivers.exe file that was into the flash tool (OS: windows XP SP3)
The firmware is 4.0.2.a.0.62, flashtool version: flashtool-0.9.10.1
here is the log of the flash tool

Thank you in advance for any info/help
First of all - Did you install the fastboot driver for your phone?
Also,did you hold down volume up button while connecting your phone to pc?
Also again,is your phone have status Bootloader Unlock Allowed : No?If yes,you can't use fastboot sorry...even without unlocking bootloader,the device with yes status can access fastboot

It seems it was an issue with the USB ports! When I connect the mobile to any USB 1.1 port (its an old Thinkpad, as my main system runs win8x64 and its not easy to install non signed drivers there..) the XP did not pop up the info that found "fastboot device" etc etc. After I used an USB 2.0 PCMCIA card everything went well!
Just to reply to your questions, the Bootloader unlock status is YES, I connected the XMP when I pressed the volume UP (notification LED was Blue) and as I mention I installed all the drivers from the drivers.exe that came with the flashtool. It seems that the device cannot connected to fastboot mode using USB 1.1 ports...
I have the same problem. I am in cm10 now with their extended kernel. But now, when I try to flash any kernel, my phone desn't connect with flashboot mood. It always connect with flash mood. I have installed proper drivers.
So, why this is happening?
Please

i,ll be greatful for any tips or any help
thanks
you say you flashed cm kernel, then i would assume that u flashed hells fusion kernel..cuz it has cwm as default recovery...
simply flash stock kernel through odin and everything will be okay..
or flash any other kernel through odin..
recovery doesn't work then u must flash via odin..
i hope u can get to download mode by pressing vol up+vol down+power
