and then the noob bricked his x10

Hello All,
I just bricked my x10, and have no idea whats going on, other than knowing that the x10 is bricked! So this is what happened...
I backed everything with titanium backup, and then proceed to do my JIT and Cleaner in shell root. I first shell root then ran the JIT_enabler v2, then after that I ran the junk_cleanup. When the junk cleanup finishes, I ddint like how it was set up and couldnt figure out how to change it back, so I did a full system backup from titanium. After the backup it was still no good, I then proceed to do a factory reset in the privacy tab in system settings. When I came back to my phone after the factory reset, it erased everything.... my screen was blanked and I couldnt do anything. I restarted the phone, and the phone was stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I couldnt even turn off my x10. I restarted one more time by taking the battery out, but it is still stuck at the Sony Ericsson Logo... what should I do? is my phone done for? i only had it for less than a week =[
please help! thanks!
You'll need to repair your phone, using pc companion. At update it'll say up to date, update it anyway and you'll start from scratch.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
but the problem for using PC companion is that I cannot even connect my phone with PC companion because I cannot mount my memory card. Its stuck at the SE logo sign, and when I plug in the usb cable, it tells me to drag down the menu and mount the memory card.... and I cannot do that because my main screen is still stuck on SE logo... any ideas? Thanks!
You do not need to mount your sd card for pc companion or seus to work. Load pc companion, take the battery out of your phone for 30 seconds. Put the battery bck in the phone and attach thhe usb cable. Do not plug the other end in to your pc yet. Start the update on pc companion and it should ask you to attach the phone in flash mode. When it does that hold the back button on your phone down and while still holding itdown, plug the usb cable in to your pc. Follow the instructions and it should then be back to normal

Right my friend, don't worry. As long as you can get to a Sony Ericsson logo it is not bricked!
By getting to the Sony Ericsson logo it means that Flash mode is still available.
Have you changed your carrier code on the phone? If so use the firmware for that code, if you are not sure just ask again what we mean
Secondly get the Flash tool, stick in the firmware, boot into flash mode and you should be set my friend.
Just make sure its the right firmware for your phone
If you need any more help just ask

Xperia U boot problem

Hello everyone who is reading this!
So.. I'm having a problem as the title says, the situation is this:
I've been using my Xperia U fine these past days, but today I found a problem.
After flashing an app with CWM I had to reboot the device, this is where the problem appears:
The device vibrates normally as it would when booting up, but the screen doesn't turns on
-No SONY logo
-No ROM logo
-No Boot Animation
I've tried using flashtool and reinstalling the drivers, but even so, the device isn't recognised by the program nor by the PC, so PCC and SUS are useless due to this.
Current device condition:
Device: Xperia U
Rom: eXperience V2
Last action performed: Flashing AC!D Audio Engine then reboot

[Q] [HELP] Have I hard-bricked my brand new Xperia Z2?

Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

I did try this but can't find a reliable download.
The link posted in XDA forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934) takes me to MegaUpload and for some reason the download always stalls at 44% (I've tried 3 times).
Just soft brick!!!
Just search for ftf and flashtool anywhere in internet

You're on the wrong forum mate, for the z2 go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2
Please don't try to flash any .ftf file you downloaded from the xperia z forum, as this would hard brick your phone. Search for it in the link I posted.
Good luck

[Q] how can I restore my xperia P to normal?

I changed font on my phone using iFont and restarted my phone. it came back on but gets stuck after showing xperia logo. i've tried Emma, it says my phone is locked. tried the hardware buttons to take me to recovery mode but nothing's working. The only thing I've not tried is the unofficial flashtool. My question now is that will it restore my phone and if yes, what are the detailed steps to take? please help me:crying:

It'll not restore your phone all your data would be lost if you flash it using flashtool.
Note: Data on your sd card i.e internal memory would not be lost.
Hit Thanks If I Helped.
