If bootloader locked, flash using Sony Update Service.
If bootloader unlocked, try to flash again with flashtool or flash a kernel with CWM using fastboot and flash a ROM in CWM recovery.

Just a note, simlock.ta is ignored always and it has nothing to with phone's firmware. This is not the cause to your phone being bricked.

Emma tool by Sony

That's not the .62 firmware. If you don't have a Verzion (R800x) PLAY, don't use that file
ah ok, id downloaded it from the CM9 Thread so i thought it would be that file

Block verification failed

I asked this question a lot of time but didn't get any relevant answer .. Can someone please help me out ..

EDIT:: I just solved the issue .. 7zipped the ftf .. then created two bundle, one consists of all files except system.sin and other one only with system.sin .. flashed both .ftf one after another and it worked .. running 4.0.2.A.0.42 and with root .. ..
check no final verification box.. before flashing :
I got the same error while trying to flash stock firmware on an Xperia Tipo device.
I opened the ftf file with 7zip and tried to extract the content. 7zip showed an error in the system.sin file that otherwise was invisible since the file size was correct.
I re-downloaded the ftf from another source and everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!

after flashing, you'll have stock ICS and don't need restore via PCC

You have an old version of Flashtool. Update it to the latest and check "No final verification" when flashing ICS-firmware.

Unlocked bootloader? Try Sony's EMMA (look on Google).
Locked bootloader? Try Sony's PC Companion and repair the phone firmware in Support Center.
