Download flashtool and download a FTF image for your phone...
Instead of holding volume up when you plug in your phone, hold volume down which will put you in flash mode... then you can flash an image back on your device.
With a locked boot loader, you can't run any non-sony kernel...

Flashtool
Try flashing a stock firmware in Flashtool, good luck.
Now downloading the stock firmware using sony update service, will update about the situation when it is done

Update Service with an unlocked bootloader is a bad idea.
Try this.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Official flashtool to go back to stock rom.
And as the guy above told you, SEUS on unlocked bootloader is a bad thing.
Hi. I have same problem.
Just flashed FreeXperia rom and gapps. Phone wont to power up. Just geting blue led or green.
Any clue? My bootloader is locked.
tried to use official xperia update tool but it wont to recognise my phone (maybe i doing sth wrong :/)

No it's not. If you have root you can push cwm via adb.

Dude,
As the others have said you cannot install FXP CM10 on a device with a locked bootloader.
As such your device will not boot, your options are to either.
1) use flashtool to flash a stock rom - instuctions how to use flashtool can be found on the forum
2) use Sony update service to flash back to stock - This is the easier option, but all your data will be wiped.
Once the device will boot up, if you still want to use FXP roms then unlock the bootloader first, or try a rom for locked bootloaders.
Either of the above should work for you.

yea phone works again fine on the stock
At least you show others, do not flash custom ROM if it's only for unlocked bootloader.
If you have locked bootloader you can't flash custom kernel and you will stuck in bootloop.

Hi xda
Early adopter of GNII since October. I purchased the International Unlocked version. GT-N7100 in a beautiful marble white and now it is dead!... Please help me revive it, i will thank you so much.
Here are the details: Since about 2 days ago my GNII started to randomly shut off while charging or in use. My only solution to this was to take away the battery and place it again as the power button became irresponsive. I have never dropped my phone or caused any physical damage including contact to water.
Today, my phone shut off as usually and i have not been to boot it up. It freezes always on the: "Samsung -Galaxy Note II- GT-N7100" screen with the black background and cannot get past it.
I was in stock android. Never rooted. Stock android 4.1.1 just as it came out of the box.
I don't know what do or what can be causing it. Please i would appreciate all of your replies and ideas.
Hi! Try to enter in download mode ( home + power + volume -) and flash any of latest firmware (4.1.2) with Odin. If you can't enter in download mode try enter in recovery mode (home +power +volume +) and flash any rom (Wanam is great). I hope that helps!!

I can enter download mode but i am not able to enter recovery mode.
Please i need input of you guys. If i get into download mode which route should i go? I want to keep my GNII with the lastest stock firmware available. Or maybe even get rid of Touchwiz and install Google Stock android. I don't want to lose my data inside my phone too.
Please all help to revive my mobile.
Sure, it's easy.
Turn off your phone. Now hold the keys power, home and volume - (three keys at the same time) until appear the message you are in download mode.
You can check it in YouTube, search download or recovery mode in note 2.

Fixed!!! Using the Sony update service.. What a relief!! Do we need to flash the kernel or its done tog with flashing the ROM?
Besides unlocking boatloader, install cwm, root the phone, what else need to be done before flashing?

i'm downloading this "XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf" 485.30 MB (508873824 bytes) and i will install it
but i noticed something ; when i put it in charger the led starts flashing with green color (9 seconds green 2 seconds no color) but when the phone was warking it was around 50% charge
does it mean anything ?
and thanks man for the reply
i flashed this XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.33 MB (in the meantime of waiting the full one to get downloaded) and it seems to work i see the sony logo now and the phone keeps restarting thanks man
problem solved; i flashed with stock rom
thanks
the problem maybe because u didnt wipe data and cache.and i think cm 9 needs unlock bootloader.if u r new,u can unlock bootloader and flash kitkat roms if u dont use camera much.and keep that ftf handy coz its the way u can revive ur phone.i have 3 ftfs of all 3 android versions

[SOLVED] MODS PLEASE /THREAD
Sooo... Let's start from the beginning. I have bought a C1905 and rooted it successfully using kingo android root. Mostly using it to transfer files with Root Explorer and mount GTA SA and Dead Trigger with FolderMount. (15.1.C.2.8)
My brother's Xperia T didn't receive an update here(Vip MK, Macedonia), so I didn't want to be patient and flashed my phone to 4.3 successfully! Everything worked nicely, no lag(the UI is ugly as hell, white & leftover black), unfortunately no root from kingo and all vroot did was reboot. Tried this thread and it didn't work. Unlocked my bootloader, then without testing it(i.e. not booting it up to see it work) I flashed the boott.img from there. It worked. However, I noticed my phone just didn't want to boot up. It passed the Sony, the Xperia, but at the swirling colors animation it loops seemingly infinitely. Removed the battery and tried flashing 4.3. Seemed to flash ok, but it didn't make a difference. PCC is only noticing the phone as Sony/Sony Ericsson device in flashmode. Later, tried to relock bootloader using flashtool and I unlocked it again. I'm scared as **** now, I think that getting the 4.3 stock kernel is the fix. The kernel is waaaaaaaaaay too buried in those 4.3 threads that I can't find it.
Those more experienced with this phone, can surely tell me what I should really do. Thanks a looooot!
First flash the 4.3 ftf on your phone.....then boot up the phone normally.....then unlock your bootloader....then flash the kernel from the guide which you have used to root your phone....then flash the UPDATE-SuperSu-1.94.zip from the guide now you have successfully rooted your phone....

Should I relock my bootloader and THEN flash it?... Should I wipe off my data from the internals? I have made a backup before going to 4.3 2 days ago, luckily. Also, I think that my flash from ~6 hours ago said that usb debugging was needed. What gives?
Also, how should I flash SuperSU? Kernel, system, flashmode?
Not to forget, thanks for replying!

You don't actually need to Relock bootloader.....don't need to wipe data from internal storage.....u should flash kernel first then super su and then just reboot the system....

Just to be 100000% sure so that no one else gets in a bad situation like us, unlock bootloader using flashtool, not with the sony site. That was my problem and how I unlocked bootloader.
ALSO: Another problem I had was that SuperSU was there but it wasn't appearing in the app menu. To fix this: Go to Settings>Apps>Swipe right to all>Find SuperSU>Unistall Updates. It should appear now. If it still doesn't appear, go in the play store and force update it.
I suggest haresh adds this above to his main thread.
