So you tried to install the MIUIv5 on a ICS based phone? That wasn't very smart as there is clearly stated you must be on 4.1.2!
Usually there is no chance to mess up your kernel by flashing a custom rom - our bootloader is locked which makes things like that more difficult.
It looks like a problem with the bootloader and not a messes up kernel - even when I cannot imagine why this happended because you are using Safestrap! Except you were using an old SS version - there would be no guarantee for potential issues when mixing old stuff with new stuff..
If you cannot enter AP fastboot mode it looks really bad for you... Are you sure you cannot enter fastboot??
Force reboot by pressing and holding Power key + Vol Down key, then immediately press and hold BOTH Vol keys when the screen goes off???
Otherwise when you are still able to enter SS you should be able to switch to your stock slot and boot up your stock rom?

Yeah the mistake happened when i hastly just downloaded the rom and installed it. Never tought it would harm my phone..
My phone works normaly and boots but fastboot does not work :/
Or could the problem come from exessive use of force shutdown? My power button does not work and oftenly i have to force shutdown to open my screen??

I don't have any idea why this happened. But you can test something.
1. From recovery's reboot options select "bootloader".
2. Install BMM app (only the app if you're SS user!), open the BMM rebooter and select bootloader or fastboot (if existing).
3. Use RSD lite and your phones fastboot package. Remove everything from its xml file except the kernel - we need something to flash via fastboot for using purposes without messing up your current system. Plug in your phone while being on main system (booted), wait until your phone is being recognized by the computer and press "flash" in RSD lite. Usually RSD boots your phone into fastboot automatically.

I kind of have a bigger problem. Under BMM I played 2 ROMS in KEXEC. I wanted to change the names of the ROMS in BMM but BMM indicated problems and asked to undelete. I did and restarted, but now I cannot enter the phone.
Tried to fastboot under RSD but my fastboot file led to "FAIL".
Ran an old "ubrick routine" which helped me before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39247094#post39247094 which booted the phone and keeps booting in the JBX logo
In the meantime I tried a number of old fastboot files but all failed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 did the trick
i was using some jelly bean sony rom by divaksh (it had cwm touch) and i wanted to try the new cm10.2 rom by munjeni
i downloaded the cm10.2, put it on my external sd card through a usb micro-sd reader and then put the µsd back in the phone
i selected "reboot to recovery" from the phone's power menu (i had an xposed module for more power menu options)
then i noticed that the phone didn't reboot, but it had turned off completely
i held the power button and the phone vibrated but didn't power on
it powered on on the second try, i then went to the cwm recovery by tapping the volume down key
(i was going to make a backup of the current system, but i forgot it lol)
i flashed the cm10.2 zip (cm10.2_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.1.zip) without doing any wipes, because i wanted to get to the correct version of cwm recovery
(i would've properly done the wipes/formats from the cwm recovery that is in the cm10.2 kernel)
it finished flashing the zip and i rebooted my phone, but then it didn't power on anymore
now when i hold down the power button, the phone makes a short vibration but nothing else
.
if i plug the phone to a charger, the led lights up (red) for approximately a second and then turns off
if i hold down "volume-down" and the power button, the phone vibrates once and flashes the led (green)
i've tried going into flashmode and fastboot mode but the light doesn't stay on for long and sony mobile flasher doesn't even notice the phone even though the drivers are installed
the "hold down power button and vol-up"-thing also works but it doesn't seem to do anything else than vibrate
what should i do?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If yes then flahs

what?
Is it unlocked?
When I bricked my xperia p I flashed a custom kernel which allowed me to enter Cwm and then flashed the stock rom. I am new to this flashing thing so I recommend that you ask someone experienced what to do. I just shared my experience of recovering from a softbrick. Don't flash new things blindly but ask someone experienced before doing so.

the bootloader is unlocked, and i'm not new to this "flashing thing"
anyone? the phone still hasn't woken up
download firmware for your p and flash using flashtool...

Have you used flashtool to flash firmware before on that PC?
Have you installed flashtool and it's drivers (sola, flash & fastboot mode).?
Make sure the phobe is off, press power + volume up untill you feel 1 + 3 vibrations and see if it stay in flash mode longer.
Just Flash stock
i have nearly the same problem
my xperia u was running with 4.1 then i restored my ta backup its mine not for someone else then i pressed reboot instead of power off then my phone is dead no vibration no led except the one when i plug it to charger just one red led then nothing

how? the phone doesn't boot and flashtool doesn't recognize it
Same problem here, I think that Munjeni's post is bad written.
Ok, I fixed it, follow my instructions as they goes. You have to flash the .img kernel that CM10.2.zip comes from.
For flashing it, go as follows...
First try to install the following drivers, with Flashtool. The executable is in C:\\Flashtool\drivers
Run as adminsitrator and follow screen instructions, allow any driver install.
When it's ready, try to plug in the phone in fastboot mode (turn off, hold power and vol up and release power button, led has to turn blue/violet/pink, whatever, a color like that)
Run flashtool.
Flashtool will recognize the phone as the log says, if its not try to install drivers mannually.
If it's recognized then click the black lightning button and select fast boot mode.
At the right side click "Select kernel to flash" and browse the kernel that comes in the .zip. (in the file you've downloaded you have to extract a boot.ini because is the main kernel to make the ROM work, so you have to put somewhere else, I prefer desktop)
When selected, log writes all the procedure until it show an "OKAY[time]" message.
Finally click "Reboot device into system" in the center side and wait until boots.
It should be working now, I spent a lot of hours investigating, but finally I fixed, hope it works for you too!
If there's an error or some question, feel free to post.

That was "the long run" for windows-guys.
For Linux - no drivers needed anyways - just download fastboot from anywhere and look for kernel. Put them in a personal directory. Open and run in a terminal (some have to be login as su) "fastboot flash boot kernel.img" (or whatever kernel is called...), plug phone in usb, while press and hold power and volume-up buttons. Blue LED comes shining and terminal tell you the flashing.
Unplug or type "fastboot reboot" to re-start phone.
Sure, you also can use FlashTool, too. But for only flashing a kernel it is not needed. Only for flashing stockrom ftf. But this is another story.
i happens to me yesterday
Hi ! Dont worry u r not the first to face this problem i also face this problem yesterday.. my phone was on JB 4.1.2 i download custom ICS rom and install it through CWM Recovery mode, when my new custom Rom starts it stucks on Boot screen and then nothing happens i tried but my phone was in danger... i was worried then i install flash tool and downlaod ICS Rom for Flastool and install that after severals trys i was now ion ICS v4.0.4..

If I wrote for Windows 8 there will be more than that, believe me. Managing Android with Linux is a lot easier, from flashing to programming.
But, face it, Windows is the standard here.

That's why i'm working over 8 years till now with Linux.
my device was rooted and custom recovery after i unlocked my bootloader and yes i did back up ta.
im trying to install cm11 and i flash the boot.img across using fastboot and then reboot trying to go torecovery to flash zip. but! soon as i flash boot.img and reboot it hangs on sony logo no recovery working or anything, any ideas guys? atm the device on bed as im about ready t throw it out window... ( i wouldn't but its tempting)
Did you press the volume keys when the purple LED showed
Hold the red key under the left flap, powrr up the device and hit the volume up key a few times
You may need to install CWM to recovery (general section > recovery thread)
installed a recovery and done a key test it looks like the volume up key wasnt working properally, it s now working thanks anyway bro
Hello guys.
Hoping on your truly support. Have the problem, which cannot solve by myself.
Was trying to flash boot.img from CWM recovery 6.0.3.0 via fastboot. It flashes succesfully, but after rebooting the tablet it doesnt show any signs of life. Was trying EMMA for solving , Flashtool to change kernel, but when plug it through usb, it haven't launched and PC don't recognize any device connected. When i press Vol+ Vol- Power at the same time LED lights with white 3 times and that all.
Was using rooted Lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader.
Is there any possibility to reanimate it or its finished totally.
Regards.
Edit.
Many thnx 2 Alok Bajaj for his solution:
Here's what you can do..
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button for ten seconds until you see a white light flashing three times. While doing this somewhere around in 5 seconds you'll see white led flashing once, but keep on pressing those buttons till it flashes next three times.
After that your tablet will be turned Off.
You can put your device in flash mode and flash a new ROM from Xperia flash tool.
If you get the error "Unknown sources and USB debugging must me enable for flash mode, then your option can be to flash the ROM from fastboot.
Download a ROM (CyanogenMod or any with custom recovery).
Flash the boot.img via fastboot and reboot your device.
Once done you should see a led lit up while the device is booting (pink/magenta color in case of CyanogenMod).
Press the volume up/down button and you should be able to go to recovery mode.
From here you can recover your device easily
And before you do anything make sure you've charged your device well.
Good luck
Cheers mate!
hi,
thanks for the tutorial, I try it but*don`t see the second three blue blinks how long usually*takes to wait for them
Hi there! I think I have hardbricked my tablet (SGP321) too. The thing is, mine won't start, no matter what I press and do. If I press the power button it blinks white and if I press the UP button with it, it blinks three times. After that nothing happens. If I connect a USB to it, it just flickers first red and then green. And thats it.
I tried to flash [7.1] CyanogenMod 14 [POLLUX/POLLUX_WINDY][UNOFFICIAL] by CaHbKaUp and chose the Pollux Version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/rom-cyanogenmod-14-t3496758. I also flashed the recommended GApps.
I whiped the sd-card in recovery (twrp) first and then flashed the new rom and GApps.
I think I chose the wrong version, maybe? I flashed my tablet once and I thought I could do it again, the same way as before. Guess I was wrong.
If there is anything I can do to get this back to work, please respond!
with regards
PsyPax

Just ran into the same problem. So there are stil people looking
Didn't know about the bootloader.
Has Android 5.1.1 Stock rom,
rooted it
installed XZDualrecovery from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Then it showed up twrp and I flashed lineage-14.1-20170417-UNOFFICIAL-pollux.zip

So what are the steps now to get it running again?

Reflash device with Flashtool.
You can't flash custom ROMs with XZDR recovery.
Hello all,
My friend owns a Z2, here's what he did.
He was using a pre rooted stock. He went into recovery, wiped the device clean. Then a SuperSU prompt for root appears, which he "grants".
Then onwards, all he is able to see on his device is just the Boot Screen. Tries to boot into fastboot mode, by plugging the USB with the Volume Down, The green light blinks, then goes off.
Adb devices does not list the device.
What should we do?
just flash the FTF again.

Your friend wiped the device clean literally. There us no OS installed on his phone anymore. Boot into recovery, turn the phone on, and when the green light blinks press amd hold vol dn key until you see a purple LED blink. Now from twrp go to advanced and go to mount storage, hook your device to a PC and on PC download any flashable ROM, like Existenz and copy to it to pohone. Reboot the recovery with same steps as above and hit install and find the ROM zip file you transferred from PC and just install it. When you reboot again you should have a working device again.

Oh well, then only flashing FTF can save your friends device. Are you sure you have all drivers installed on your PC? Windows 8 and 10 have driver signature enforcement enabled and unsigned drivers cant be installed the normal way so this may be the reason your PC cant recognize your Z2 in fastboot mode. Look for instructions on how to disable windows driver signature enforcement check and then try to install flashtool drivers again.
Got the device back, flashed the ftf again, it worked. Thanks for the all the help guys.
Nice to see someone returning to say thanks :good:
