the OP has a problem that can be FIXED
you can often FIX a device which has a incorrect kernel flashed to a locked bootloader, parts of the bootloader are intact which keep the device working
your device may have bricked due to the fact that CM11 is still in a unstable state, any device can hard brick with CM11, its just rare.
now would you kindly quit posting irrelevant information.

Ok so, flashtool wont recognize my phone with the driver and pc companion says nul when it connects. I will be trying on faster hardware And i may have powered the devce down yesterday while fiddling but not sure, it vibrates softly when power and down are held.

battery is dead
try finding a way to charge, plug into a wall charger, it may just go into critical charging mode
should have enough juice to flash a Fw after a few hours
It possible to unlock the bootloader at this point? Maybe Emma can take over after that!

yes if fastboot and flashmode are accessable with correct S1 info loaded
Ok. So if it is possible he can always try. If succeeds then use Emma which if I remember correctly requires unlocked bootloader. And see if it revives it

Pretty hard to brick z2 with locked bootloader...download ftf of your region and connect your phone in flash mode and you're done...unless you have been messing around with TA partition, you should be Ok

I got all that done,and I do not believe I messed with the TA partition.
>>I tried flashing CM11 on it with dual recovery I believe. Wiped the dalvik doing the factory reset option and tried flashing CM. Knowing how stupid it was and that it has no chance of working I still did it due to it being my first time flashing. Curiosity got the best of me.<<
Going to charge for a few more hours to see if that helps at all.

My Xperia X10 is currently not working (see previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993785) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
I'm trying to use Flashtool to flash the generic X10 Firmware to my phone although
it's taking up to 4+ hours and then my phone battery dies and the flash is unsuccessful.
Why is Flashtool taking so long to flash a firmware to my X10? I've tried a few different computers and still the same problem.
Please Help. Thank you.

I cannot access my phone as of now, it's pretty much a brick. Holding the on button brings only a vibrate and thats it.
what about flashing a rom that you know worked on your phone, making sure you flash the right Baseband for that particular rom first.
EDIT: Sorry just read through you posts and you have probably tried this if you have flashed a rom to it!

Is it possible to turn USB Debugging on without accessing the device??
not assuming you're silly. but you are making sure you have your finger firmly on the back button when you plug in the phone when flashing yeah? the simplest are often the ones that get you.

Read previous thread in original post.
The phone has crashed for some reason whilst using the FreeX10 Beta4 Rom and I cannot access the phone. It charges fine although I cannot turn on/access my phone.
not sure why the flash is taking so long. attempt to flash a different firmware possibly? Also do you have the latest flashtool?
Impossible to brick so you're not out of luck yet. Try flashing with latest flashtool 2.9.1
I'll attempt now with the Flashtool 2.9.1 beta. It's a shame that as soon as they unlock the bootloader my X10 decides to stop working.
EDIT:
'turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging' - It's impossible to access my phone to turn on USB debugging and unknown sources. What do I do now?
bump, anyone??
Attempt repairing your phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that fails put a compatible basebrand and firmware on your phone. Make sure user data is wiped

Sony Ericsson Update Service does not recognise the product.
Not that I haven't attempted this but I put a compatible baseband and firmware and it took 7 hours in which it only flashed 4 items and then the rest flashed instantly which the phone displays blinking red light.
It's not working. Whats wrong???

Try to use SEUS to repair phone if you can't boot your phone. Do not use PC Companion cause' it will try to detect your phone everytime you use it but your phone can't boot so PC Companion now useless. If you can't repair your phone, you have to bring it to SE service.

It will not detect your phone dude. You must select your phone from the list supported. It will tell you to plug your phone in while holding BACK key and after searching for update, you will have a notice about update or repairing.
Hi.
I need some help with my phone.
I tried unlocking the bootloader with SE Xperia Flasher but something went wrong.
I got to the point where it rebooted the phone, but when I got back in Windows my PC wont recognize my phone, I can't even charge it with a wall contact.
Is this possible to break thru the software? Because I sure didn't do anything to damage it physically.
Thanks for all your help
Anyone? =/

No, you cant brick your phone until bootloader is fully unlocked.
You can only get into "sof brick" state which is followed with red led blinking (three times after SE logo). I think this is that state, but, you didnt mentioned how is your device behaving now...

Strange. I don't get any red LED blinking. My phone boots with a blue LED (Fastboot?) and then turns on normally, I can use WIFI and Bluetooth and that's all I've been able to try so far. Haven't had any chance to test if it works with phone calls since i have no sim card for it. If it is "soft bricked", is there any possibility to know it for sure?
Thanks for helping me out

If your phone boots up normally it means, thats not bricked
Dont know what blue led during bootup means, but didnt see it anytime on locked bootloader, so I expect that you were succesfull and have unlocked bootloader It probably is fastboot mode.
Remember that Windows recognize only devices in usb debugging on and with proper adb drivers installed.

Yes, try to flash any kernel for locked bootloader. If it will be successful, you are on unlocked bootloader If not, ant it will return error at the beginning of the flashing, you are still on locked bootloader.

Exactly! I can't get it into flash mode too. All that works is the LED.. I connect the charger it does nothing. Tried connecting the usb, still no luck. Can't turn the tablet on. Can't get into recovery mod. Can't get into flash mode (the state I need to flash stock firmware with RKAndroidTool.exe)

If the LED still works that's at least a sign that the tablet isn't completely bricked. Have you installed the USB drivers for your tablet?

Unfortunately if you can't even get in to flash mode, then warranty may be your only option I'm afraid. No matter what you try driver wise, different computer, different usb port, you can't access flash mode?

Ok, thanks for the support, I'm gonna try with the warranty today I just can't accept that it's a brick... I have flashed my android phones over 200+ times with different kernels/ROMs etc... and none of them bricked ... But that's it... Can't get the tablet to start :S

Hi guys, i don't know how to solve a problem with my Sola. I read the recover soft-brick guide for xperia models but i can't solve it. I think i bricked.
When i try to turn on it's on Sony screen and there's nothing to do. I can use on flash mode and flash the kernel but the result is the same when i turn on. The led works like green in flash mode, or red when i finish the flash and the device is still connected. I have a locked bootloader, and all this happened when i wanted to restore a backup, i probably made a mistake: do a full wipe after that. I think that's is still in warranty, isnt' it? What can i do? There are some tips on the tutorial but i'm afraid to kill the battery or make other mistakes. Please help me guys.
And sorry for my bad english =(
