When i connect phone to charger I do not see any notification light.
Guys this phone is my brothers so really nervous about it, please help me out, thanks in advance
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.

How do you root your phone??
Factory reset just wipe /data & /cache. You shouldn't lost root.
If you want to backup app data, use Titanium backup.
The Phone won't go into fastboot mode

- Isak - The big problem is that I can't get it into fastboot so I can't install clocworksmod recovery, witch I realy needs so I can flash Jelly Bean on it and get Google Now and al those cool tings, and a performance boost. You don't hapen to know a program that installs clockworksmod recovery "automaticly" (like a exe-file or somthings) where you just put in the informatin, klick go and wate for a bit. That wold realy help sins I can't do it automatically for some reson.

You can use RecoverX to install CWM w/o entering fastboot.
Or if your bootloader is unlocked, flash a custom kernel which includes recovery mode.

That's probably what he wants to do, install a kernel.
To the guy asking: is your bootloader unlocked? Did you set up the fastboot drivers properly? Are you on Windows7 64 bit or Windows 8? It takes some looking up to get it working .
You can do it .

I have a locked bootloader, and the unlockable status says 'no'. But I also got an unlock code for it from Sony, and I already paid to have the sim lock released.
So I have a sim free phone (Acro HD, the Japanese Acro S), a bootloader which says 'no' to being unlockable, and an unlock code fro my phone's bootloader from Sony. Can I unlock it?

Try to flash another kernel.When the phone is switched off, press the menu button and plugin the usb cable.It will start in the fastboot mode.Try to flash a stock kernel with cwm.Also if you need any custom rom zip, you can remove the microsd and put any Installation zip files in it via your computer and install them view CWM

Use Sony's own flash tool called EMMA.

Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.

but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10
Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

i know unlocking the bootloader didnt cause sony companion to fail i deleted all the software in the "safe list" of bloatware to delete to get more space and one of them was update services.
Thats why i really want to install CM 10

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

[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.
