You flashed ROM without unlocking the bootloader. Use flash tool and flash ftf

Thnx for ur reply, as u must have noticed I tried to flash it using the s1 tool in emergency boot mode but it was always giving error n pic companion isn't detecting the phone cause it's not going in recovery mode using the given buttons. Is there any other tool I can flash my hard bricked device with to start it , if yes please do send me the link as I have tried to search every where with no luck, n the Xda forum is the best place to do so , if I can't find a solution here then I guess there is little or no hope elsewhere

I tried it but the the flashtool is not detecting the device..... im still stuck where i was before... Anyone who has a better soln then above plzz let me knw.....
It definitely sounds like a hard brick, especially as you don't have the flashing Red LED (which is the indicator of bootloader conflict).
It would seem that you will need the services of someone who can use a JTAG cable to get your phone back to life.
Out of curiosity, what was the file name of the ROM that you were trying to flash?

its not hard bricked... the phone vibrates indicating power to the device. It can't boot the kernel.
OP has to install the actual drivers to the phone in order to get the phone to be discovered in flashtool.
Install file is located in C:\flashtool\drivers\blablabla.exe
The solution is here,
First of all find and save .ftf Official ROM for your country or International version
Plug in your USB cable to PC ( Drivers for ZU must be installed in System).
Press down volume button and connect ZU with USB cable.
Open FLASH TOOL and after clicking on flashmode find the ( OEM ) original .ftf ROM and press down flash.
After successful completion process power ON your device by pressing Power Button.
Enjoy

Hi guys. My device(St15i) wont boot at all. It was rooted and boot loader was unlocked as well. I used Cyanogenmod 7.1 for sometime and then flashed it with Stock rom after that. It was working absolutely fine. 2 days ago, I connected the phone to Wi-Fi and scanned for latest updates. It showed me that there is an update available(I guess it was for firmware as i did not had .62 on it). I knew it was rooted but still because of some teething i guess, i said yes to the upgrade. It downloaded the update and the phone restarted. It started with the unpacking screen and then turned off...Now whenever I try to turn it on, it doesn't boot. I can just see the green LED on the top(beside the power button) flash once every second when I hold the power button down. But it wont turn on at all...I tried flashing the device again with flashtool, but it doesnt work. I cant flash a new kernel because I cant connect it in flashmode or flashtool mode. Whenever I try connecting it and flashing any kernel, it says <waiting for device>. I have all the drivers installed but still cant get it to work. Can someone please help me with the problem....

just extract it put it in firmware folder in your flashtool..and just flash it..it will take some time..but dont lose hopes
Ok great...I downloaded the file and have copied it in the firmware folder for flashtool....Will connect it in the flash mode(Volume down + USB connect - turns green light on)...Is that the correct way?? And what is suppose to happen after that?? Do I have to again flash it with the Stock Firmware??

I pulled off the battery to turn it off as the power button wasnt working. it turned off but i cant turn it on again. i held the power button for more than needed as well, but still not turning on. when i connect the phone into charging i get the charging logo. it means the phone is working fine but it does not turns on. What could be the problem??

Hey, I know this is not correct place for Xperia X10 issue's, but i need to display it in general section, as this one is getting critical..
I uploaded a custom rom on my xperia x10, for that i unlockd the bootloader and stuff..
Now, my phone is switched off since 15 days, when ever i try to switch it on, it vibrates once and nothing at all afterwards...if i press power button again, it won't vibrate, unless and untill i remove the battery and reinsert it in phone..
i see three red flashes of light, when connected to PC..
1. PC Companion for update, repair and custom repair is not working...most of the time phone is not detected..
2. SE-update service is also not working and phone is shown as Xperia arc..
3. Flashtool, doesn't recognize the handset
4. few, technician told me box flash would work, but again, it didn't work out
Now, i don't know much about this, but i do understand that hardware seems to be good, till now, the only issue is software and that to initial boot process i.e. bootloader.
is there any other way i can upload a new custom rom on my xperia ??
or any other solution, will be appreciated..
I'm assuming download mode didn't work? Pull battery and insert cord/battery/press back button at same time while aytempting to flash through flashtools?
I have tried flash tools with this method, but doesn't helps..
I don't know about download mode, is it the same done through PC companion..
Thanks

Hello!
I read for hours now, bot no luck
I flashed my x10a with flashtool with generic rom.
After flash, as the flashtool says, just turned off and on the phone.
But nothing happened(green led blink one and do a sort vibration, thats all..)
no logo, no sound nothing happens.
I tried to reflash again, but windows says: Cannot recognize the device
In the control panel device manager show "unknown device".
Because of this , cannot reflash with the tool, because it's waiting for the recognized device too..
when i press the back and connect the cable, the green lighting for a minute , and turns of..
Yes, i have the correct drivers(as you can see i flashed before).
Help me guyz, please, if U can
Does it go into flashmode?
Did you try flashing it regardless of unknown device in windows?
Sent from my X10
Try flashing back to stock non root. It may suck but at least you'll have a starting point. It'll read. Ust make sure you have newest flashtool. Just had the same problem with my x10. Its still havin troubles tho.

Try removing battery, insert usb cable, insert battery while holding back button. I spent 8 hours last night just trying to get back to stock. Your phone is semi bricked. Its a pain in the ass but it eventually works.

Hey go back to stock 1st then try rooting later,
1) launch pc companion
2) select support zone
3) now select phone software update
4) then click on repair phone
Now software will download the stock ROM along with stock kernel..
When the software asks you to connect in flash mode, do the following
1) turn off the phone
2) Remove battery
3) Connect the USB cable to phone as well as to the laptop
4) Place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from the left)
5) Green light should glow and the stock ROM and kernel should be flashed automatically..
When it's done you should have a stock unrooted X10, if you want then flash custom Rom after rooting it, be sure to unlock the boot loader if u want to flash custom kernel... Good luck

yes, green light glow, but with "unknown device" the software update wont start

what do you mean by flashtool cant be done?
try this:
1) open flashtool
2) press the flash button and select any stock ftf firmware
3) now after pop up comes to connect phone in flashmode---- remove battery, connect the phone via usb, and lastly pressing back button insert battery simultaneously.
Now the flashing should start hopefully.
if this doesnt work please post the error you get in flashtool
i have the same problem with my phone only mine is x10i i reflashed 2.3.3. ftf ..like 7..8 times ..and still not working..btw smth the flashtool give me some error ..and other times works and says that the phone was flashed ..but phone still only 1 virbate and 1 blink green light now i am kinda bumped because i repair it once ...and now has the same problem
hello all!
thanks for all help.
What happened:
Hopefully i found the USB port have error. If is stand in half leg, not breathing for a minute and beg for christmas the connection made successfully, and first the SEUS , after the flashtool can recognize the phone well.
Now the phone working perfectly and going to my friend's service for fix the usb port problem.
Red light shines for a few seconds, when plugged into charger, or computer. Flash Tool shows "Device connected with USB off", and "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode".
Pushing, holding any and all combinations of power, volume up/down produce no other lights or actions in Flash Tool. This includes pushing in the "red Reset" button, while using the above combinations.
Bootloader is unlocked. Was trying to downgrade and I think I [email protected] up & flashed a wrong tft file.

The only thing I can suggest is:
Start flashtool
Connect GPe Ultra
Hold the vol - key down (use a rubberband or the like)
Hard reset using red button
Watch for LEDs and flashtool output
Thank you Blueether. Tried just as you suggested, but no reaction. I wish there was a way to turn usb debugging on. With out that, seems hopeless.

Yes it did.
Why are you worry so much, if your device is going into flashmode and showing in flashtool you are golden.........................no need for the usb.....debugging
just fire up flashtool connect your device to flashtool and falsh any ftf file (you have to download it preferly specific for your model from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921) for your device don't exlude anything aaaaaaaand you are done.................
yepp... as the post above states, nothing much to fear at this point.. forget usb debugging... thats not relevant at this point.. just load n FTF and start flashing (without connecting the phone) till it gets to the point where flashtool will ask u to connect the phone in flashmode pictographically... connect the phone on usb (hooked to ur pc) holding the vol key down (with the phone powered off - obviously power's off thats why u scared its bricked).. u'll see a green led flash on ur phone for a sec... and on ur computer, u'll noticed that the flashing has begun.... just to be safe... to avoid ur phoney battery dying out amidst ftf flashing, see if u can leave ur phone hooked to ur charger for about 20 minutes atleast... before u atempt any of this... the phone might not turn on now... but it still can have its battery charged... alternately, if u happen to have a magnetic charger, u can hook that up to the phone the same time ur phone's connected to flashtool as welll... beats having to deal with worse situations if ur flashing gets cancelled midway... dont worry... we've all been thru it..
while ur phone's being flashed, u can download a RIC disabled modded kernel with recovery for the version of FTF u happened to flash.. download jackie's modded 681 kenel if u flashed 681 FTF... or chillychan's kernel if u flashed 290 or 136 FTF..
when flashin's done... and flashtool says unplug ur phone, do so and then much like u connected earlier, this time, hold the vol up (with the phone powered off - as it always does when flashing's over) connect phone back to USB.. this time u'll see blue led lit up continuously... thats fastboot mode... u can flash the above mentioned kernel using flashtool (i personally never used flashtool for fastboot mode) or like i do, flash the kernel using terminal (mac) or command prompt (windows) if u already have fasboot.exe adb etc from android development kit or standalone files..
then u can disconnect, start ur phone, set it up, download supersu onto ur internal or ext sd card, then boot to recovery. flash supersu and ur phone's rooted too... obviously, flashing kernel and su can be done anytime later not necessarily right after flashing FTF... i mentioned coz thats what i do... u can do it at any point it time since ur bootloader's unlocked anyway
hope all turns out well for u
This is for a GPe Ultra. No FTFs, only doomlords kernel,etc.
Make sure you know what you are telling someone in case you brick their phone.
Also note that they said it wouldn't go into flash mode.
OP can youu try the my steps again but with the vol up key held in?

Yes, tried it all again with vol up key held in, no result. In FlashTool, flash mode, I can see the FTF under firmwares that bricked me. It's a .290 ftf for C6806 models. Debating weather to try the Hard Brick method or just paying Sony to repair it.

Sadly no. Played dumb with Google store rep. & sent it back. They received it 8 days ago. Supposed to have an answer by 14 days. Instead of option of receiving a new phone, that I would have to pay for, I chose a refund. If they tear it down I'm screwed. Bootloader was unlocked. Good luck to you.
Last night, i accidentally swiped to restore to an older ROM that i had. Not meaning to do this, and beginning to panic, i attempted to stop it, while it was still at 0%. I did this by holding the red button down. As i have now realised how stupid that was, i am wondering if there is any chance to fix it. It is now stuck on the Sony logo. Although i have seen many problems here, i cant find anyone that had the same problem as me. I was running the existenz ROM, and the ROM i was accidentally restoring to was the official ROM. Please help me
Thank you

I had the exact same problem, I created a guide to help other people with this problem. Here it is. I can't post links yet but if you want to have a look, search for this on google ( oneplus : Xperia z2 bricked help!! ) It's the first link ( fourms Oneplus Net )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get Sony's UI/ROM back:
Download and Install Flashtool from here.
Download a proper ( official ) ftf firmware for YOUR phone ( eg Sirius ).
Now copy the downloaded ftf firmware file to ( C:\Flashtool\firmwares )
Open the Flashtool and click on the little lightning rod and choose Flashmode.
Now a window will pop up and ask you to choose firmware for your device, Choose the one you downloaded and click flash.
--------Choosing a wrong one WILL further brick your device--------
Meanwhile, turn your phone completely off, To do this hold the Power button and the volume UP button until you feel your phone vibrate 3 times.
Flashtool will pop up saying you need to put your phone into flash/fastboot mode.
Now put it on fastboot/flash mode ( connect the usb to your computer and hold down the volume up button while plugging the other end to your phone. Your phone's LED should be blue at this stage.
The flashing process will start and once it's done, Flashtool will ask you to unplug the device and restart the phone.
The first boot takes 5-10 minutes.. CONGRATS YOU HAVE UN-BRICKED YOUR PHONE.
Now if you want to root your phone and install a custom recovery ( TWRP ), Download this package and extract it on your desktop
Make sure you have usb debugging turned on ( on your phone )
Navigate inside " to root" folder and run install.bat
Once thats done, to install recovery, navigate inside the " recovery folder " and run install.bat
Make sure to follow on-screen instructions. ( your computer and your phone )
Now you have Rooted sony ROM.
