hi
today i was experimenting with my phone tried to install a custom rom...every thing completely fine but the phone didn't restart
now the phone is bricked.....(not working)
i displays sony logo and then nothing happens...
:crying::crying::crying:
Can you get into FlashTool or Fastboot mode?
What custom Rom you've installed? More details please.

don't exactly remember the name of the rom it was something called xdark....
i can access recovery mode... and can install any other ROM...but after restarting it doesn't works (shows black screen)
also i want to ask if installing custom rom can cause hardware problems...service center personnel told me that some hardware is corrupted .. he says flex cable is damaged...is it true???
Xdark ICS. Did you unlock your bootloader? Did you follow the steps?

Try flashing a kernel and ROM that are definitely compatible.

The problem is that the kernel and rom don't match. XDark ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich, so you'll need an ICS kernel for it. And you can't really damage hardware by installing roms, unless you overclock it too far and your CPU overheats, but it'll take a lot to get it that hot.

i'm using now CM9 everytime i change rom lol but CM9 FXP117 don't have Market :s
Well it seems my Play has finally died.
Woke up this morning and my touchscreen wouldnt respond so I reflashed the ROM Im using (MIUI v4).
Now, for some reason, it wont make it past CWM no matter what kernel I flash.
So I used Flashtool to go back to a stock ftf and it freezes at the SE logo. However, when connected with PC Companion it gets to the lockscreen but the touchscreen wont work :S
Im at a loss completely :S
Any help would be great
Woo man.. That sounds srious. Its like the phne touchscreen has been disable. Did u try flashing a kernel with full touch recovery n see if its touch-able?? Just a suggestion. Its really weird how that happen, really. It shouldn't matter if u plug ur phone to pc or not. If the screen boot it should respon with any touch u make. Weird...

I tried the CWM with touch support and it doesnt respond at all. When I flash a ROM it wont make it past CWM so it seems like Ive got 2 problems. Well, if I flash a stock ftf file it sticks at the first Sony Ericsson logo as well so flashing back to stock isnt a solution either
EDIT: I appear to have life CM9 has booted to the main splash screen. However, touch input is still gone

Meaning the touchscreen is completely dead or it dosen't boot up the system completely?? This is hard. If the screen is touch-able u obviously wont hav any problem. Did u try any othert .ftf besides the 1 u already hav?? Just curious...

No man....don't say that. You have been a big help here, especially to me. I wonder what you did to that screen and if it happened from a rom flash or what.

I flashed an MIUI ICS rom and the following morning it was locked up. Now certain kernels wont go past CWM.
FXP kernels seem to work for me though but the touchscreen doesnt work. Some of the stock firmwares wont even boot but even if they do, the touchscreen doesnt work. Ive wiped data/cache/dalvik so many times but I havent a clue whats happened :S
Im still gonna stick around the Play section though
This has been the only phone issue thats ever had me stumped completely
Did u did a factory reset also before flashing anything?
Can you enter the service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* in phone dialer?? Then you can test the touchscreen, hard keys, proximity, ALS, and almost all other functions. I'm not sure if its the same numbers for all versions of Play or just AT&T's version. If not google service menu+android or something. Or maybe its something that can fixed with computer by the guys who unlock fix Sony phones.(Jinx13 & alejandrissimo-*probably misspelled)

Sure. U can test the touchscreen on that menu. If u can get to it. The code r the same for all xperia phone, i guess.

Before attempting to flash, try this:
Remove the battery and put it back
Boot to CWM
Clear Dalvik Cache
Boot to system
I did face similar issue couple of times after flashing Ultimate Xperia HD and another ROM. But both times, clearing Dalvik Cache by booting to CWM and then booting to system did the trick. Try it out.

Odin is the Samsung equivalent of Sony's Flashtool. CWM is another lifesaver as it has wipe options built in that can help to get a phone to boot. CWM remains installed even if the main OS is removed........

Yeah I have used sony phone for a while and i have broken it (Hard bricked) when unlocking the bootloader, then I picked up a galaxy w and I am still in love with it, Its a single core but it can do miracles. I have soft bricked my phone many times, I sometimes delete the ROM i put on the sd card to have room for the kernel and other tweaks so i use Odin to just return the stock OS and then get a new ROM and flash it inside. There is not much risk and you cant go wrong with the phone. I fixed mine many times and i know how many frustration you get when doing such thing. I remember the first time when i bricked my phone by installing kernel for another android version, and then i booted up to CWM and wiped data/cache and flashed a new rom. Because of the long booting time i thought that its over, i broke my phone, but after sitting there for 10 mins. it finally booted up. Damn i was so happy then, i rooted my phone and installed a new rom for first time :victory:

So can you give me a small guide on how to use Odin ?
You don't NEED to use Odin. The link I provided gives you easy to understand information about how to root, CWM and flash cusROMs 'in phone'......
It's how I did it, and it really is very easy to do/follow.......

So I flashed the eXistenZ BLACK Edition V1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271613 and now my phone won't start up. It seems pretty much dead. It vibrates though but I get no activity on the display. Help?
I think You have downgraded Your phone thus leading to brick. Try rebooting in fastboot mode and installing stock firmware ftf using using flashtool.
