[bricked] Can't get back to stock - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Xperia MINI ST15i
I have exhausted every method I can find. Fastboot seems to be broken. Fastboot and Flashtool both do not detect the device when it shows BlueLED(fastboot). PC Companion doesn't detect at all.
Flash Mode seems to be working. It seemed like it was flashing, progress bar and everything. When it was done it said for FLASHTOOL, the phone has to have usb debugging and unknown sources checked. Being that I am bricked, there is no proper system installed .
In FLASHTOOL & EMMA unlock bootloader doesn't work. I got the code for it to do in FASTBOOT or keypad but neither are accessible.
I believe I flashed a recovery for the wrong xperia model =/
Are there any other potential solutions?

[Q] Unlocking Boot Loader

Hi I have Xperia GO ST27i and I've tried to unlock bootloader with flashtool, and there says that I have not have drivers installed, but I do, I tried installing drivers for fastboot with android_winusb.inf and it showed me error that drivers are damaged or something like that. I've tryed unlocking bootloader with offical xperia unlocking guide (their website) and in the cmd it didn't detect my phone probably because of drivers S1Boot Fastboot.
I would realy appriciate any kind of help,

If you go into the installation folder for flashtool there is a folder called drivers which contains an .exe program, they have 99.9% of the drivers available for xperia devices, install the fastboot and flash drivers aswell as any others that correspond with your device, it would help if you looked up the chipset if in doubt.
Hopefully once you've installed these drivers then you should be ok, remember to switch your phone off and hold down the volume up button when putting in the usb cable in order to enter fastboot mode, the blue LED light should light up if it works.

[Q] Xperia U Hard Bricked

Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)

Sony Ericsson Xperia LT18i no flashmode, no fastboot and stuck on logo

Hello friends, i have a problem with an old Sony LT18i from a cousin, he brought it to me because he has the China Mobile variant with no GApps and android version was 2.3.4, i thought it might be solved with a simple flash via FLashtool, but when i've completed the downloading of the ftf file and went to flashtool to flash it, when the flashtool ask me to put it in flashmode pressing the back button and connecting to usb the phone led only blinks of 0.5 sec and then boots into normal mode.
Tried the same with fastboot and then i got the same blink for 0.5s with no detection at all. That surprised me as well i've have flashed succesfully other Xperia devices with no problems of led blinks at all. Now my problem is that later i tried to root the phone and installing CWM to flash another ROM or GApps package, and when i finished to install the recovery now the phone is bootlooping and never gets to boot normally.
I've tried with 4SE dongle to flash it via Testpoint and it doesn't work as the phone manufacture model is 12W13 (new security) which the dongle doesn't support, tried with S1 Tool with version 28II215 and 080714 and i only get PHONE NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS MODE when i try to flash and when trying to unlock the bootloader it gives me NOT SUPPORTED MCU REVISION.
The phone was working well until the CWM installation except for the flashmode and fastboot mode, now i really need to flash it and i can't find a way to do it, i also have RIFF JTAG and Z3X Easy JTAG box but no JTAG available for this model except for Medusa Box which only supports phones with manufacture date less than 12W10, i was wondering if thereĀ“s a way to access via QHUSB_DLOAD mode doing the testpoint to manually flash partitions to device or something like that. If you might have a workaround or a solution to at least let the phone in the way it was it will help me a lot. Thanks in advance, sorry if my english isn't so great.

Cant enter FLASHMODE

hello like the title said
i cant seem to enter flashmode. fastboot and recovery works fine tho
i was trying to install stock rom, xperia companion app and flashtool doesnt help
flashtool said something like usb debugging off, and 2011 devices bla bla (usb debugging IS NOT OFF its ON) tried 2 different version the 9.18 and 9.2
the green light did light up only like 1s then off then light up again then its gone for good
after that the phone connected to pc and recognized as somc flash device but not recognized by flashtool or xperia companion
first off all its not really a problem because i can still go to fastboot and recovery to flash ROM
but since i want to revert to stock rom (not modified,rooted or anything)
can someone guide me how to fix it? i tried 2 pc + a laptop, flashmode still not detected
Same problem
I'am with same a problema, u have a solution?
You have to wait for flashtool to ask you to connect your phone in flashmode and that is after you've loaded your firmware to flash
Your phone will only stay in flashmode (green led) whilst it is receiving data if it is not receiving data it will switch off after a few second's

Bricked Xperia z2 flashmode usb not recognized but fastboot is recognized. Is recovery still possible?

So basically I suddenly got this system ui error which caused my phone to go into a bootloop eventually when starting up you could only see sony logo and it would stay on.
I tried to use xperia companion to do a software recovery but my phone would not be recognized. (the led does turn green when you press volume button down)
I tried using flashtool and installed drivers without driver signature but again when flashing it doens't recognize my device.
When the phone is in fastboot mode the device is recognized by flashtool. I tried it with 3 different pcs and 3 different USB cables and nothing.
I have never done anything to my phone so the bootloader is still locked.
I was wonder if I can still recover my phone but than via fastboot mode.
phone specs:
Xperia z2 d6503
os: marshmallow
kernel: 23.5.A.1.291
Thanks in advance for any help
