[Q] Sony xperia go bricked! Help! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I was trying to flash a new kernel in my phone, how ever i counld not boot in recovery mode, after some googling i found out that to enter the recovery mode i had to install an ics version (i curently have jb 4.1.2) i followed the instructions on a in youtube video.
But when i was finished and tryied to boot up my phone nothing worked it only vibrates once and dosent even light the screen it only blinks red light and when i try flashboot mode it blinks a purple light.
When i try to connect it to my pc via usb it doesn't even recognize its a phone.
When i tryied to connect it to my pc to try and use Update service it blinks green light.
Sometimes when i connect my phone to my pc via usb i can see it in my device manager as an USB MTP device.
Also when i try to charge it blinks a green or a red light for a shortwhile, then the light stop blinking, and then does nothing.
Can someone help me please?

[Q] Bricked X10 mini pro

Hi, I bricked my SE Xperia X10 Mini pro(u20i). I have root, recovery(CWM) and CyanoComb v1.4. When I rebooted phone, unlocked screen it shows errors about apps that they closed and than the phone rebooted. I can't do nothing, go to recovery is impossible. I tried flashtool but it's need to enable uknown sources an debugging but i can't go to system. SEUS didn't respond when i connect the phone with back button... HELP ME! Thanks
Edit: Now i see that the Flasher shows error after plugin phone in flash mode. HELP!
I looked into my magic glass bowl and saw that you did something and my future cards said you will have gotten some help. But not specifically.
I hope this disburdens yourself a bit.
Now after you cooled down and recognized that the information(s) you gave us is too unspecific you can go on to give more informations.
But first:
Doi you have the correct ftf file(s) for flashtool? Flashtool does not need to have anything enabled on your phone. Also SEUS should work. If not you bricked your phones hardware.
My guess is you did not correctly follow the instructions to use SEUS. Follow them step by step. They are well explained. Possibly you haven't the correct driver on your PC... But this did not tell me my glass bowl, this stupid thing. May you tell us what operating system you use? Maybe reinstalling SEUS will help. Do you have the actual VFewrson of SEUS? I guess SEUS is the better choice then flashtool for you. (both do the same but flashtool can flash other roms)
Good luck.
I have W7 and XP, i tried SEUS and Flashtool on both. I downloaded UK 2.1 ROM and than I did .ftf file. After i enter flash mode in Flashtool it say: Error Flashin Aborted, Now unplug your device and power it on, turn on Uknown sources and Debugging.
In SEUS, when it ask to turn in flash mode, I do it but SEUS didn't recognize my device.

@wOrHeR SvK: i had the same behaviour with Flashtool, so i powered off the device, powered on in flash mode and reflashed with FlashTool, after that it was flashed fine (don't follow the ending message to activate unknown sources and other crap, you don't need it... focus only at flash stage, that's what you need).
By the way Snoopo is right, flashing with SEUS (open application and search for "repair your phone" or something like that) does the job in every circumstance but hardware failure.
Good luck!
nothing... I turned on in flash mode and than click flash in Flashtool. Same problem... SEUS can't recognize... I Don't know why but before it was OK
tommorow i will go to my friend and try it at his PC
redownload the ftf file... did you possibly load a mini (u10) file instead a x10 mini pro (u20)?
did you use the right version of Flashtool? The one from Androxyde/Bin4ry [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746]?
Use SEUS to reinstall your ROM
yeah, tried 0.2.8 and 0.2.9.1. SEUS still not working...
Correct Flashfiles are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
And SEUS also should work. What are the error messages? Make sure your phone is really OFF, start SEUS choose "x10 mini pro" (NOT "mini pro" without "x10" - this is a coplete new model and not really released yet) and go through the process until it says you have to connect your phone and do it exaclty like it is explained: hold the back-button while you are connecting your phone hold it down as long as it is looking for your phone when it starts flashing you can release the button. there should be the green indicator LED showed while the restore is running.
The Flashtool ones you pasted look like the flashmode is started successfully but it is possibly a wrong flash file. So try the correct one(s) (rename the .rar file downloaded from page above into .ftf)
otherwise you really bricked your boot partition and can try if SE wants to rescue your phone or if it says that your warranty is void...
SEUS still nothing, tried everything... Flashtool: when i first turn phone on to flash mode and than click flash in flashtool, it say Start Flashing and than the Error but when it says the error the green led is off and the phone is going to start... any idea ?
also SEUS isn't showing any errors, just say that i have to connect phone in flash mode...
I can boot to system but in system it showing errors about apps thah must close.... That isn't bricked boot patriton i think.

Take your battery for at least 5 seconds.
Put it back again.
Press back button and connect the cable with the back button pressed.
Then start fota unbrick.
Try it several times.
Sometimes and thats weird the computer as problems connecting to phone.
I warrant you that the thing works and you are with the right problem.
Your trim area is damaged.
Thanks! I've tried like 50 times, and nothing, the ennoing "sony ericsson" is booting (no sony ericsson logo as usualy, just the writing) I flashed 10 times in the past whith no problem. Now, even when I put it to charge ( wall charge) the phone is turning on showing that stupid "sony ericsson" writting, I cant shut it down from the on\off button. Before killling it, I've instales stock MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_GLOBAL ROM, then I upgraded to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global, then rooted with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, Installed CWM( wiped cache, updated SE tweaked v8.5 Rom) After the restart, the "se" writting started booting. I've pulled out the batery, and begined flashing it with flash tool(no green led).The flashing started and my little brother accidentaly pulled out the Usb cable; that's the whole story! I've tried like 100 times with wotan, flash tool and FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, no result, even if pc companion tells me "phone conected" and gives me further instructions whith the phone being dead, and the flash tool showing me to connect de device... Thank you for all the help, hope there is a solution. sorry for the long post and my bad english...

Flash tooll results when trying to connect (pulling batery-10 secs, back butoon, usb cable)
Look, read carefully.
You can´t have that log, this log shows that your phone is connected (powered on).
Withou green line you re not ready to go.
Just follow as I´ve writted before.
Battery of for 5 secs. take the back button and plug the cable. After that you must run fota unbrick.
then just flash and your phone should be good.
If not PM and I give you another solution.
Thank you again! I tried, my phone was bricked before, but I've managed every time to get into the flash mode, and flashing it succesfully. This time is bad, i pulled the batery out for hours, coonect the batery-nothing happens, push the back button-nothing happens, While holding the back button-conect the usb port to pc-after 3-4 secs, that "sony ericsson" screen apears (no green logo, just the writting) no green led, somehow pc companion tells me i'm "connected" and shows me further steps, but on the phone it's just that "se" writting. No mather how bricked was my phone before, It allways got into the flash mode (1-4tries) I even reinstaled Windows, drivers, hope I want damage the usb port of the phone Have a great day!

Did you try to post in the same thread you got the instruction?
So have unplug the device but the LED green light is on? the Vol+ & power together till three vibrates didn't work?
Yes thats right if i unplug the device the LED goes out but when i push the power button it just flashes green and nothing happens, I've tried the volume up + power it vibrates 3 times like normal but when i push the power button the same happens green LED flash
no I haven't tried that I'll post it in there now cheers for the advice
flash the firmware again, and when you plug in the phone, hold the volume down button only, you dont have to hold the power one, it should go into flash mode now

unplug the cable from your phone, then hold the vol + and power till vibrates three times. now your phone is off,
lunch flashtool and initiate the flashing process with ICS firmware and hold vol - and plug the phone in, see if that works.
Sony developer on the forum believe that no one could hardly brick a Sony phone.
it wont let me flash ftf as it keeps dropping out of flashmode then re entering it flashtool is saying
-ERROR flashing aborted
-device disconnected
-device connected in flashmode
over and over again, I can get it into fastboot mode is there anyway I can re flash ftf in fastboot through cmd?
I think the battery might be dead now when I connect it all i get is a red LED
Hello!
It appears I have the same issue with xperia pro. After flashing the official 4.0.4 rom with flashtool the log says:
Code:
27/032/2012 15:32:18 - INFO - Flashing finished.

The phone doesn't respond, the green led is on.
Have you been able to restore the phone functioning?

Ah, it's okay. I re-flashed the phone with a different rom and now it is working fine.

Calm down dude. Grab flashtool. Set flashmode and choose your stock ROM. And just flash it through vol down key and plug in USB to your phone. It is just a soft-brick. No need to worry much.

and now when im trying to turn on my phone the green light flashes but the screen only show ! sign in a triangle with a phone.. then it turns off..
@Ali Suhaimi
Id the phone turned off before you start flashing?
Did you install the drivers from flashtool located in drivers directory? You need to install 4, the one for Sola and flash and fastboot mode that are at the bottom of the list.
Before you flash just leave flashtool open and connect in flash mode, and see it stays connected for about 45 seconds.
Yes i've done all.. but the problem is i forgot to enable USB Debugging before flashing it.. and now the flashtool need the USB debugging to be enabled and i cant turn on the phone,.

and won't even produce nothing.. even the blinking.. after some times (keeping the same state)( plugged in) the notification starts blinking again. and the same repeats.
I think the problem is with battery.. i tried charging the whole day.. when charged in the red light blinks after a time it stops. and no response.but till flashing the Device the battery had no issues.
I tried to Use SonyEriccsion Update service. it says "Your phone does have the Updated Software which cannot be updated. and the detection is the same as above.My Phone is Xperia Mini ST15i) ! please please please reply ... as i have switched off mobile for a whole day.

Update 2: My phone was charging after I flashed the ftf file, but then when I unplugged and then replugged, my phone won't charge again, when I connect to the computer nothing happens, what should I do?

whats happening with my device?
Hello everybody,
My Xperia Mini ST15i (with 2.3.4 ROM, & 4.0.2.a.0.42 Build Number) can't turn on properly.
Just stuck at 'Sony Ericsson' (before the logo).
I tried to press power + volume down, but it wont open the CWM.
Then I want to flash with the latest flashtool 0.9.xx, but the log status was:

So what should I do for this problem?
Even I can't turn on the USB debugging and switch to MSC mode because the device stuck at 'Sony Ericsson'.
Everybody please help me
I can't do this without your kindness and your guide.
Thanks a lot. I hope you all can reply my mesage.

[Q] Xperia P stuck at bootloop, CWM inaccessible

When I try to boot my phone, the sony logo shows up and then nothing happens. I have CWM installed but pressing vol. down doesn't open the recovery. I tried to flash stock firmware using flashtool, but when I connect phone in flashmode/fastboot mode, the phone connects properly for about 10 seconds, then boots and again stuck at sony logo.
I know I'm supposed to connect only when flashtool says to connect the phone, and doing just that but still not working. Please help!

It'sa good thing you forgot to mention what windows version you are on or ig you have used flashtool before on that PC so we can waste some time while you waiting for help.
Is your phone completely turned off when you are trying to connect in flash mode?

Sorry. I'm on Windows 8, and yes, I've used flashtool before. I also tried to flash from a different pc with windows 7, and the same problem is there.

@hoodakaushal
I assumed you used it before, I asked if you have used it on that PC.
Try latest version of flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/
See the FAQ for instructions to install on windows 8.
Also, USB 3 ports won't work, so use USB 2 ports or if you don't have those look at the BIOS for option to switch from xHCI to EHCI.
