The thing is my Xperia Go is stuck at bootloop and i cant access anything.. no CWM, no entering fastboot and computer doesnt seem to recognize it at all. It only goes up to SONY logo, stays there a while and then blanks the screen just to do it all over again.
It started when i flashed my phone with new kernel.
Any ideas of what should i do now?
All help will be appreciated im new to this.
Install Flashtool, then go the drivers folder in Flashtool, and install your drivers (Including the Fastboot & Flashmode drivers)
Then, turn off your phone. Select the Stock FTF from Flashtool and click Flash
Then, when it asks you connect the phone, Holding Down the Volume Down Key, connect the usb cable to phone (It should already have been connected to pc before connecting to phone)
Wait 2 seconds and a green light comes on.. Then wait a few minutes and your phone will be back to normal

I have done all that and did it again just to be sure.. atfer green light comes on it changes to red in few sec and my phone shows SONY for 1/4 min and then shuts off while charging. i have tried to enter fastboot mode too but the same thing happens.. correct led colour few secs and then logo and off.
This seems like a hardbrick although flashing a custom kernel shouldnt have caused that issue.. Did you do the cable connecting in the exact order I said ? You might have missed that ,with any luck
Dun worry
Remove the battery if possible
If not
Switch of the phone by pressing volume us plus power key simultaneously for few seconds
Then flash official ftf via flashtool

Its because u r not connecting it properly
While connecting keep only the volume down button pressed ( dun press the power key along to enter flashmode)
And its not a hard brick so dun worry
Just a bad kernel

Regards, Sidle
It's hard to brick your phone in a way that you can not flash stock ROM in Flashtool.
Follow the instructions and everything should be fine.

Turn off the phone by holding the power+vol up and vol down button together until vibrate 3 times....
Then flashmode the phone to flash stock ftf

I can't easily find instructions to paste it here because I'm typing from tapatalk.
But, you need to open Flashtool and click on flash icon. Then, you should choose Flashmode and select the ROM you want to flash. After that, when flashing is started, Flashtool will prompt you to connect your phone. You should do that like this:
Turn your phone down.
Connect USB cable to PC.
Hold volume down and then connect cable to phone.
Green LED should turn on and flashing will resume.

If yes
Then open ftf through winrar
Extract kernel.sin
And flash that kernel sin through fastboot using flashtool

From looking at what you have gone through, i think its a corrupted kernel. If you can get into fast boot, try flashing another kernel.

Are u properly connecting into fastboot mode??
The proper way of getting into flashmode is switching off ur cell
Pressing volume down keep it pressed and then connecting usb (make sure flashtool is opened)
Similarly for fastboot mode is volume up pressed while connecting to pc

U r not connecting it properly
Before u connect make sure u have flashtool running
Secondly reinstall drivers for flashmode n fastboot
Well i read some advice about leaving your battery out for a few minutes and then plug in the charger, let it charge for a few hours and try again.
Can you confirm this works or has even potential of working

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Make sure it's turned off by pressing power + volume up until you feel 1 + 3 vibrations before attempting fastboot or flash mode.

Could you connect fastboot/flash mode on the PC you are using now before it happen?
Ok, here it goes...
You know? The same exact thing happened to me, I'll tell you the solution. (yeah, sound like a TV commercial)
Power off the phone by pressing and holding the Power and Volume up buttons, when it vibrates three times release.
Now you have to turn it on in fastboot mode, connect the phone to the computer, press the power and vol up buttons, after two seconds release the power button and you have the blue led, always hold the up button.
Now at this time you need to be fast as ****, because you need to flash the boot.iso kernel in the .zip, if your phone is recognized by flashtool, obviously.
When you have the kernel flashed then reboot the phone and hold the vol up button when the led of many colors blinks, and hell yeah, we are on CWM. At this step, you have to do the same procedure as you did, but be careful this time. If something happens just tell me.
Don't forget to format the system.

Just a fact, there's a lot, but a LOT of threads that are made because of the munjeni's ROM, if you have a doubt, search first, then post.

Read my post dude, connect the USB cable, hold power and vol up buttons and two seconds later release power button and continue holding up.
In that time you should flash the boot.iso, but quick.
which os you are using in your pc ?
Solved
Thank you all guys, I think it was a driver problem.
I was using a Pc OS Windows 8, and it didn't recognize the phone.
I tried with a Win 7 PC, installed driver and everything, and i succeded to flash the boot.img

You can flash from Windows 8 too, just you have to read this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447283
But, ok, you flashed it, great.
More specificly, I used to have Win 8.1
Now, for other causes I'm back to Win 8 and from here i can flash perfectly

VOL UP+POWER =3 VIBRATION, mean you turn off the phone. No problem.
Step by step.
Turn off the phone. hold volume - and conect to computer. The led turn green?
The same, but with volume+ ¿the led turn blue?

Yes if i hold vol up+power blue led comes and if i vol down+power green light comes. At flashtool i selected fastboot and selected flash kernel and flashed recovery.img as kernel. and that happened. i think thats the problem but is there a way to fix it?
Yes!!!!!! You're doing it totally wrong.
Recovery must be sideloaded via adb shell.
You'll need to flash your firmware and then follow the right steps to sideload a new recovery.

To unbrick you phone the only needed is flash your stock rom,excluding all minus the kernel. This will work and you hold your recovery with the phone working and you will can flash the root zip.

Change the order, first run flashtool,flashmode,selec the rom,check all except kernel,wait,after flastool say you connect the phone.
Turn the phone off with volume up + power until vibrate 3 times. push and hold volume- and connect the usb to the computer, the flash will start.

Interupting the process? Same hapened to me. Be sure to connect your phone only when everything is ready, so when the flashtool asks you to connect your phone, and not before. Worked for me.

Pluged in like file transfer or like flashmode and fastboot mode?
Hi,
I installed the lineageOS Android 7.1. Then i tried to go into recovery Mode but this was not a Recovery like TWRP or sth. It was like a Stock on Samsung, where i can choose from apply update... Then i wanted to reset my phone to run a new rom but i formated my Phone!
And now if i try to start my phone it only vibrates and if i connect to my PC the Led goes from red to green in a half secound. And Flashtool says that it is in Flash Mode. If i try to Flash a stock version, everytime a error!
I also tried the Repair function of Xperia Companion but everytime i want to go into Flash Mode. It says a Error.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Did you try to flash the ftf file ?
Plug your phone to pc and repair it via sony companion ?
Try it again! Connect it to pc and then press and hold power button and VOLUME UP

What you has entered is still a recovery, but it is called LineageOS recovery, it can be triggered by pressing VOL- while the purple LED lights up.
Can you post the flashtool log for me to have a look?

Sony PC Companion or Xperia Companion wont work for unlocked bootloader device.
And holding VOL+ button via plug in leads to FASTBOOT mode, not FLASH mode (or DOWNLOAD mode). Please do not mislead others.
