[Q] Need help ASAP bricked

Hi guys
Wondering if any of you can help me
I have recently bricked my R800I from installing rooted firmware then the system ran an update since will not boot, I can't access fastboot as no blue light will show up only green as it is charging.
Phone only vibrates when the power button is pressed and SE pc companion will not fix the phone as it states the software is 'modified'
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated
This is the method I used and it worked perfectly:

Flash the firmware back to 2.3.2 with Flash Tool, root it and then do an OTA update. I'm running R800i 2.3.3 rooted with zero problems.
Edit: Updating the firmware with PC Companion is bad news if you're rooted. Stick to the OTA method. I've just removed PC Companion altogether so I don't update accidentally.
No good after flashing it, it still will not boot even though i get..

Try this UK firmware: Baseband 64
https://rapidshare.com/files/698194045/R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf
Works for me all the time! No errors and a good firmware
Also are you sure it's unlocked as in bootloader unlocked and not just rooted?
Go to the directory of flashtool and in drivers make sure Flashtool-drivers.exe is installed fully
Good luck
Bootloader is unlocked via Official SE page.
Finally managed to flash Enchanced .58 v2, but im trying to get back to stock .42 UK Generic.
When i try to load .ftf in flashtool, clicking at file in flashmode window. There are no files shown up at right side, drag&drop gives message : Flashing Aborted
Do u get any kinda error ...or it just freezes....???
try checking the notification light...if its still on or it goes off...
And have u tried any other firmware...?
try changing the kernel....perform a factory reset and clean all the cache ...and then try flashing again....
I have this issue usually reboot, change usb socket or close firewall help for me atleast.
I am going to write a noob friendly flashtool guide for XDA and my website soon.

If your getting the Sony logo you should be able to restore the phone using the SEUS update software http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Hope that helps

Thanks for the answer, but i'm afraid this is not possible, SUS just UPDATE the firmware and doesn't RESTORE the OS, i am on the last available officiale firmware in my XS so SUS doesn't help me!

[Q] Stuck at kernel picture when booting.

Hello everyone, I'll add some background so you can help me better.
I had a Xperia play like a year ago. It was the first device i rooted so it took several days for me to root and to install gin2kitkat ROM on it. I couldn't install a new kernel becouse before i managed to do so i dropped the phone to the floor and it got severe damaged and i lost interest.
Recently i've decided im gonna put some effort into it and ill repair the screen protector and the buttoms that broke.
So, i had a rooted device with gin2kitkat ROM with original kernel and closed bootloader. I did the bootloader thing with a tutorial i found here and i flashed the Extreme kernel using flashtools via fastboot. So i started my phone but it was in a bootloop when Extreme picture showed up and i wasnt able to make it work. I tried more kernels like Lupus and other kernels i found on this site. It happens the same with every kernel. It wont boot any further than the kernels logo. Ive tried flashing another kernel via flashmode in flashtools and i got this error:

I've tried entering the recovery mode with all the kernels ive tried pressing vol - during boot but it wont work. Also in extreme kernel and some others i got this error while booting. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6p7u6c&s=8
Yes, the device is destroyed, if i can make it work ill repair it.
THanks
