How can I remove the battery and do a "force boot"? The phone is stuck on the recovery screen. I'm unable to restart/boot.
I think the only way it's to remove the battery.
Can someone helpme? the battery appears to be glued to the phone.
Thanks
Update:
I was able to execute the recovery and restore my backup. But after that the phone turned off, now It does not turn on at all.
I'm trying the power + volume up. The phone respond with the first vibration, then the next three, then, nothing happens.
The phone does not connect on the PC. There's no connection. It's not recognized by flashtool. I'm unable to update, change roms, I need to at least connect it.
if I plug the usb cable the red light appears and keep blinking slowly...
Press and hold power button and + volume button until it restarts.

You may have to disassemble your phone to remove the battery.I don't recommend it.
My God.
Now it broke for good.
Everything was fine. I was able to make it restart pressing power + volume up.
Then I entered the munjeni recovery again, restored the yesterday backup, the phone booted. And then no show, no image, nothing, nada.
I'm trying the power + volume up. The phone respond with the first vibration, then the next three, then, nothing happens.
Help!!!!

I think your only option is to restore it via RIFF JTAG... I don't know another way...

If you haven't done it yet, pull out the battery, put it back in and try to get into bootloader or recovery. (the pulling out the battery part is important)
by the way, what exactly is happening when you try to boot? please describe step by step what is happening. And what do you mean by boot "into hboot"?
And how did you try to go back to stock? Did you even get into the stock rom. Didn't you just forgot to flash the boot.img when going back to stock?

to flash a rom I
1. Switched off my phone,
2. hold power + vol down (to boot into bootloader recovery), just blank screen no boot.
3. hold power button + vol up, again just blank screen no boot.
4. when us connected led lights up, and PC detects as "unknown device found".
not booting at all.

I unbricked my phone with this guide. my phone was in a OS bootloop but it works, in your case, a Kernel Bootloop. Its a very good guide. You DO NOT need to root your phone. When flashing, instead of pressing back you press volume down. The phone should be able to enter what it is called, flash mode regardless of what problems. After flashing ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Just follow the guide.

only once the red light is blinking or it is continuously turning on when you are connecting the charger..if it is turning on then charge your mobile
for 3-4 hour..if that is not the case then try flashmode and fastboot mod..and when you are pressing power button are you getting any vibration??
if there above things dont work then your device may have hard bricked for which you have to take your device to service center...good luck

the red blinking light apears everytime i connect the charger, but for 1 sec. but now when i connect it to wall charger no red light but when i connect it to pc usb the red light apears and now it stays and doesnt go away. does this mean it is charging?!
how can i fix it with flashmode or fastboot?!
i dont think it is bricked because it was working fine 2 days ago and suddenly it started restarting!
then try to enter into flash mod by pressing the vloume down button and simultaneously connect the usb to the pc...if it is working then flash the stock ftf...if by connecting the cable to the phone through pc led is showing constantly then keep it remain like that for 3-4 hours..it might get charged.

i tried the volume down thing but it didnt work, couldnt flash my phone.
i connect it to pc and the red light appears but it disappears after 10 minutes and i have to disconnect and then connect it again to get the red light!
its on the OS, could happen any time. Probably bootloop.
install flashtool
download ICS stock room
click the lightning on the flashtool and locate where you have put the ICS stock room.tft
hold down volume before connecting the cable to the phone.
then wait till the stockrom flash correctly.

its easy to recognize it, hold turn-off button and volume-up until 3 vibrations = force turn-off
if already turn-off
then hold volume-down before inserting the cable.

phone is not detected on pc and can't start phone in fast or flashboot,the LED turns green for 1 or 2 sec than turns red then the phone start (sony logo then black screen)
Then install drivers again
Install those from flashtool\drivers folder choose the ones for xperia u,p,sola,go and last 2 optins also, thats fastboot and flash drivers.
Open flashtool and try plug phone in fastboot mode, watch the led, if it start booting remove phone and watch right down on your pc screen to see if its installing. When it finish try again.
This is 99% of these problems...

yes do as said on above post. it couldnt be a hard brick. AFAIK hard bricks only occur if you flash something not meant for your device. except in Z series.

Force power off, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations and try.
Try fastboot too and see if there is anything in flashtool log.

if the led is turning green it means you can. but if you dont immeadiately flash stock firmware. it will boot. so you need to prepare stock ftf firmware for your device, choose it, wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode. then connect your phone in flashmode
