Hi,
When i flashed the UltimateXZ Room, i jumped the "Mount system on recovery" step, then my cellphone got the red light of death.
I already tried to restore via "Disaster Recovery", flashtools, etc, but it does not work at all.
Can anyone give me litte help?

But when i am rebooting my phone. The kernel logo doesn't comes out and instead the screen was blank and the LED light is red. I cannot access my phone and it doesnt seems to respond to anything i do.
Help will be appreciated!
Well, I have a rooted phone. Like an idiot I deleted some files from the Busybox .bin directory because Busybox said it had found more than a version of Busybox. Ok, after I deleted one version or so I thought, Busybox prompt me up with some message like Big Problem. Well, I restarted my phone wich was working fine at the time, but after restart won't start, I only see the pink led and SONY logo for a few seconds and then the SONY logo fades, and it does that like 5 times and then the red led appears and stays like this for a few minutes wile plugged in ofcourse, and then again the pink led and so on with SONY logo fading away not starting up. What to do?
I am downloading the firmware right now. I hope that with Flashtool I can flash it. My phone is plugged in and is booting, well trying to boot continuously, when SONY logo appears after a second disappears and also I can see the pink led. Although I can put the phone in recovery also in flashmode I cannot start it, I hope that I can flash another firmware on it.
Tried flashing, not working. What now?

Do you have zip data in your internal memory? try yo flash it using CMW. or if this way didn't work try to press power button and volume up together until your phone vibrate 3 time.
SOLVED [ Flashing custom ROM with Flash Tool ]
It was very hard to do because my battery was 0% and not charging at all,but I managed to keep the phone in Flash Mode through the flashing process.
Hi everybody.
A friend gave my dad his old Xperia S, which was running MIUI. My dad gave it to me because he wanted "proper Android".
ADB worked, CWM Recovery was installed, no root seemed present. I first tried downloading a ROM and flashing from CWM, but it was a no-go, I got a "status 0" error.
No problem, I thought. I installed Flashtool, downloaded one of the 6.2.B.1.96 ROMs (Movistar branded, for Spain) via Xperifirm and flashed it. It didn't work if I went straight to flash mode, it waited at "Reading device information" or something like that. I had to turn on the phone, connect it, chose the flash options in Flashtool and *then* putting the phone in flashmode. If
Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. "SONY" -> XPERIA" -> Rainbow colors -> Movistar Logo -> "SONY" -> "XPERIA"...
I can only stop the bootloop by long pressing Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds, until the phone vibrates three times.
I can flash things, but I actually don't know what I am supposed to flash in order to get a working phone
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I would recommend flashing a unbranded firmware. Also, do You have bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thanks for the answer.
A couple of hours ago I reflashed the same ROM checking the "wipe" options and everything is working as it should
If it hadn't worked I'd have tried your advice, thanks again.
Hi all
I have a xperia M (C1905), bootloader unlocked, not rooted, usb debugging ON. I tried flashing several custom recovery (cm12 nightly, twrp, cm11, archidroid) with fastboot. It works fine but when I reboot, after I click volume up during the pink light, it gets stuck on the sony logo with a light blue light. I checked with adb devices and my device is listed under recovery, however I'm not able to do anything else (wipe data, flash, etc.).
Would anyone have any idea of what's going on?!
Thanks a lot
u need to press volume down to go to recovery mode,
and which rom u are using now
I can't believe it was that easy... I had read somewhere that up or down didn't matter. And I was sure I had tried down too. Well. All good now!
Thanks again
Hi guys,
I am in trouble.
My only phone is C6502 and I flashed it with 5.1.1 taiwan rooted rom yesterday.
My procedure was:
1, use flashtool to make it as rom 4.4.2 230 and rooted
2, use cwm to flash it with 5.1.1 rooted taiwan rom
at the beginning, everything went well. however, after updated several apps in google store, it automatically shut down for several time. I opened sim card back and used a stick to power off. after restarting, it stuck at the SONY logo and automatically and repeatedly restart. I have to power off with a stick for the second time. Since this second, trouble came. No matter what I did, it just automatically shut down at the SONY logo. I tried to flash it back to several roms and nothing changed. (no green light while flashing). Still stuck and shut down at the sony logo (different roms ha
ve different styles of logo, so it shut down at different sony logos). Charging doesn't work. it showed the red led first following with a green blink, and then no more light. The flashtool cannot recognize it as ADB mode but as flashmode.
Could you please help me. I hope you guys could let me know what was going on and how can I unbrick it.
Thank you for your time in advance. Wish you the best.

It's common ZL behaviour on broken battery controller (attached to battery). Reflashing will not help (it's hardware bug) but changing the battery (and it's faulty controller) definitely bring your Xperia back to life. I did it twice on mine (1st time it was not charging at all, stuck on Sony logo on boot, 2nd time it worked only with power cord connected).
After changing battery, just reflash it via official Sony PC Companion (if your bootloader still locked), then do whatever you want )
p.s. If you don't want wait / can't find new battery, you also can try short-pin method with current one. Idea is to bypass it's controller, so it will charge / work again. Search XDA to find out which pins need to be connected.
