Please help me, im really sad... sorry for my english ...
Which phone do you have exactly R800i or x? And were do you have downloaded the firmware?
Sent from the best gaming phone on the world.
Why did you use brick fix? you only use that if you mess a kernel flash up, or update ota with an unlocked bootloader, Try flashing http://www.mediafire.com/?lojlw6bffm7alv1
oh and when you try to turn it on do you feel a vibrate or hear a buzz? if so you just have a software brick.
So just flash http://www.mediafire.com/?lojlw6bffm7alv1 follow the instructions, if you don't understand them very well use this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20151540
All the best, let me know if you fix it.

I had the same problem and this fixed it. Thank you!
Hey buddies,
I have a big issue:
My Xperia S is rooted, I did the bootloader unlock with sucess, and, when I flashed the boot.img inside the FXP149 tapioca (I had sucess by ADB), after ask to "fastboot reboot' my device died :/
It can't be recognized anywhere (USB-PC, wall charger, vol up + usb but it doesn't enter in fastboot mode), it doesn't turn on anymore.. When I hold "power button + vol up + vol down + camera button it's vibrate, but nothing happened in display. I had just this feedback.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Your phone is not dead bubby you can relax, you have to hard reset your phone by hold down button [ power + vol up ] long enough till the phone vibrant 3 times, after that release buttons and press and hold power button for phone to switch on.

What file do I need download?
And, where drop it? What flashtool destination folder?
AGAIN and no matter what the urgency, trust me I wish to help people but when people do it by breaking and paying no heed to the rules, it is simply irksome. Thread reported and to the OP, your questions in the Q&A section, not the dev thread.

Try this, as described above connect the phone in flashmode, [ vol down while connecting to PC via USB cable ] LED will turn green, open your flashtool then flash a new software firmware in ftf" format,

If you downloaded and flashed the boot.img above using fastboot (that's what I presume), a process which shows a Blue LED, then just download any kernel from here (there's lots of them marked kernel so take your pick) and flash it in the same way using the fastboot flash boot xxxx.img command from your fastboot folder. If not, please explain the step-by-step process and the name all the tools you used so we could guide you to fixing your phone.

I did exactly what you said! I flashed a boot.img from wrong version (CM10 Tapioca instead of Nozomi), so, I guess that this is the mistake to this issue that I having now.
I just don't know the right kernel that I need to flash now to fix this.
Just download stock ics rom and flash it with flashtool after resetting (power+vol up until vibrate 3 times) the phone.
Hey buddies,
I flashed a stock kernel and it´s alive again!
Thank you for support me!!!

ok i've managed to recover my phone through the help sections here...but, i was able to do that only when i flashed back to .45 FW, and after that i tried to flash .55 FW which i had downloaded from sony, which killed my phone again...so i'm guessing the official FW doesnt work on my rooted Xperia s?

Please try my link on my last post
I tried, but when the program said me connect the cellphone in flashmode i do, but the cellphone turn on after 5 second...
Do not panic.
Even if the battery will die, you can always buy an external charger for the battery(on ebay, search for "battery lt26i) and disassembly your phone (youtube tutorials) extract the battery and recharge it externally.
then you can try whatever.
Anyway, try different drivers pack (i know there are at least 2), and try with FASTBOOT and a tft rom, or at least a kernel.
good luck.
EDIT: i recall it occurred to me the same thing: Try this way. Turn off your phone pressing the start button with the volume up button. you will feel one vibration. keep both button pushed, until it will vibrate for 3 times. then plug the phone pressing the volume button for entering flashmode, and keep it pushed for the whole operation.
Another thing to be sure of, wait for the program to ask for the device (file preparation completed and popup window asking to plug in the phone) before actually plug it in.
If you can enter in recovery mode try wipe battery stat en reboot
thank you but no, when i connect the cellphone flashtool says

Hello their I have a problem with my xperia ion (obviously) I have soft bricked my phone, So heres the story .... i backed up my phone 2 days ago just incase lol . i installed CWM for xperia ion just incase aswell before i installed an app so i can change my fonts and boot animation on my xperia ion. I downloaded and use "Rom Toolbox Pro" and from their on i use the "Boot Animations" app to change the original At&t startup to the Razr M bootup. and after i restarted it , it worked just fine. Then after i went back to the app and went to the Font installer i backed it up as well as my boot animation. I installed a certain font i think it was " " after i restarted the phone , again, it worked perfectly fine , then after a couple uses of the font i got tired of it so i went and hit restore , i didnt know what i was really doing from their. a menu popped up with all these things checked so i went ahead and clicked ok, and it said to restart , so then i did. After it was restarting , upon booting up it would just shutoff or shutdown or do this fading away power off thing as it finished the boot animation. After the third time i did the " soft reset trick" and it still happened again, but by mistakenly doing a ":hard reset trick I think " it just completely vibrated 3 times instead of 1 not realizing and it shutoff. nothing was happened i pressed a few buttons but it still didnt budge. and i read online that to let it die while plugged in to the factory WALL charger. so then i did that.......after a few 15-16 hrs i had a constant red LED light come on and then after another few 2-3 hours there was this red LED blinking i guess? it was as if it was trying to turn on or something. but all i saw was the screen come one but nothing showing and the LED staying on for a few then going out .....so as of right now it stopped doing that. and its now at a constant RED LED LIGHT nothing else. i dont what else to do. i have my Flashtool already good to go with the stock f/w ready to wipe data /cache and everything i guess.
and what did i do that ruined the phone?
How long should it take?
will it change led colors so i can flash it?
so what do i do for now?
edit- my phone has a locked bootloader so I cant use the fastboot method only flashmode method. before when i pressed the power button i would see a red led and then it look like it tried to start , the screen came on but it was pitch black and then it stopped and what it seemed to be that it restarted and it kept doing that. I guess the backlit on& off then repeat and then to Constant RED LED. i only did the soft reset where i jheld the power and volume button and it vibrated 1 time. , it didnt even scan the phone or detect as i connected it to my computer, i can only do the flash mode method only. manually i guess......
Red LED turned on, after a second the screens turns on (just black) for 1 second, red led turns off like screen and 2 seconds red LED is on again and the same start again (with screen and so on). the rubber band is holding down the volume down button. so as of now i started flashtool, flashmode, selected the firmware and when it asked me to plug the phone in, the phones already plugged in, but right Now the computer doesnt detect the phone at all, no sound , no pop nothing in device manager, but its continuing with from the beginning (blinking screen and red LED).......its removed and connected my wall charger and im going to wait overnight for this attempt.
edit- 2 its been a few days im still going with the process of trying to flash my phone through flashtool. I had to keep repeating steps like charge my phone, until the red led goes away and then plugging it into my laptop after a few 0-15 minutes my laptop detects it and it trys to install driver when I already have them installed I guess from Pccampanion and flashtool drivers aswell.

GOD NEWS TODAY!!!!! i let it charge on my laptop and it was at red , so i put flashtool on un plugged my phone ( rubberband was still on it) and when it a pop said to connect it, i plugged in the phone nothing happened after about i guess an hour or 2 i heard a sound and flashtool read the phone and my comptuer tried to install a "SEMC Driver" or something.
but i forgot i had two flashtools installed just in case......... i used the old on 9.1 and i didnt installed drivers dammit ..... im using 9.13 which has it installed

Hi.....I was wondering where you found the flashtool for xperia ion lt28at. I downloaded a flashtool but its for x8, x10, x10 mini and others but not ion lt28at.
Yep

Just went through this myself, install the drivers from flashtool, bottom two.(no worry of our device not being in list) then restart computer, mine was boot looping on Sony screen ..that's what you want you are close, rubber band around volume down,plug into rear USB port if possible, flash tool with gingerbread ftf loaded and hit flash and just wait every ten minutes mine would loop but eventually green led hit and started flashing. I was on xp couldn't do anything with 8.1, rogers jellybean took 12 minutes to flash and u only have ten minutes before phone starts charging and shuts off giving error in flash tool.... tried stock att and rogers just didn't have enough time and they failed to flash, ginger was just enough time. Just don't hold volume down for three vibrations again if anything one is all that's needed. Patience and use gingerbread ftf. All you want is it running then flash whatever you want.
Recently received an r800i that the battery didn't function in.
Once i received, I placed in a known good battery and turned it on. After the long Sony Ericsson logo time, it boots to a fuzzy mess of colors, as if someone opened mspaint and used the spray brush with random colors everywhere.
Anyone know of a solution to this? Obviously screen seems to function fine as it only shows after booting into the os.
Pressing the volume keys does prompt the sound of the ringer being turned up and down, so seems like the os is functioning, but may be corrupted somehow?
Device does not have usb debugging on, so I can't reflash stock with flashtool as far as I am aware of(this is the problem as to why i can't I'm assuming)

Am i able to flash through fastboot perhaps to see if it just needs a reflash? I haven't worked with old Android phones for quite a while and I do remember them being a bit picky with what you could do in flash & fastboot modes for each different phone model.
