Ok I see you have flashtool installed then :good:Can you get in flashmode by holding back button while connecting to usb to pc(green light)?Can you get in fastboot mode by holding search button while connecting to pc(blue light)?Also if you have doom kernel can you get in to cwm by pressing back button when phone boot's and blue light/vibrate comes on?If you can do any of the above then you might be able to save your device:good:

Hi just seen your postFirst of all don't panic!:good:I am going to ask a obvious question did you fit back the flex cable properly? double check!.Also your battery was it low have you got a full charge?Try and get some juice into the battery leave on charge overnight if possible.(if you can charge the phone)
There is a video here if you want to check if you put the flex cable back correctly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593067 :good:I can't go in to more detail (got to go out) but maybe someone else can chip in with some advice I am not a expert on flex cables will check your post later

Got your PM, but not sure what else I could suggest. Have you tried another USB port or computer?
I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.
Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.
I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

Does your phone charge through your charger when it is switched off?
when you connect your phone to pc in normal mode then does it detects??
No my phone doesn't charge with the charger when its turned off. And my pc detects my phone when connected normally.

If it's a soft brick, you can repair from PCC or flash using flashtool.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.
How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.

try fastboot....see if the led turns blue..[power + vol up for fastboot]
if it turns blue...its not hard brick...flash kernel..then flash rom
How did you flash it? If you were using PC Companion or SUS, I believe the warranty may cover that.
Otherwise, let's see...
According to Google search, the Qualcomm CPU has a built-in USB download mode, which is the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" that you see. When the device fails to boot it will enter this mode.
Perhaps try to enter flashmode?
Pull out the battery and wait for about a minute or so.
Insert the battery, close the back cover, then hold Volume Down key.
Insert USB cable and wait for the PC to detect it.
If the PC detects it, then flash (again)!
If the PC does not detect it or it detects as "QDLoader" again, perhaps try to pull out the battery and wait longer...
If it keeps entering "QDLoader" then your phone is really hard-bricked. It may still be possible to reflash, but we don't have the drivers and files, so just send it back to warranty, whatever.
* Just by the way, I think you can also enter the "QDLoader" mode by pressing Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn?

Hi I got a similar case :/ I was partitioning my sd card with Aparted but as soon as I turned off my Xperia M to reboot it it got bricked and hasn't been working since. Cant get it to into flashboot mode or flashmode to flash the original firmware. No lights or buttons are working although when I connect it to my pc it detects it in usb but not as the phone itself. Is there anyway at all I can fix this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For everyone with the brick situation, do you have a locked bootloader?
I know one user said they tried the volume down+insert USB cable into the computer, you did try this with PC Companion ready to repair the software?
Sony Update Service restores the bootloader on locked bootloader phones, true? If the stock bootloader is corrupt somehow, SUS could repair it.

I tried to swap my internal and my external memory by using the mothod on a video on youtube called "how to swap xperia m /dual on 4.3".
And here's what happened after I rebooted: My xperia M is stuck on the boot screen (it goes till the multicoloured wave), and then it starts up again and again and again!!!! Also, I can't get my phone to connect in flash mode when I connect it to my pc so as to install the official ftf file I've downloaded, becase when I try to connect it with my pc, the phone's led just turns up red, then green (for just some seconds), and then goes back to the booting screen!!!! I have an Xperia M single sim, rooted, with a locked bootloader!! PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE!!!!! :'(

I'm probably not the best person to help with unbricking but have you tried following the unbricking guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 ?
Assuming your PC has the correct drivers installed (i.e. you could previously connect your phone in flashmode), what happens when you try connecting the phone while holding the Volume Down key? Does the LED light up green, red or not at all?
Fix is simple ...
1 Install flashtool drivers
2 the problem from the kernel !!
Install stock kernel ( take it from FTF ) and install it via Flashtool ...
Now it should be fixed

Hey guys , my xperia m ( single sim ) is stuck on the sony logo whenever i try to boot it up.
I rooted my phone many months and it was perfect till this morning and then suddenly it got stuck at the sony logo.
Ive tried to fix it via the pc companion but it doesnt detect it . Now the battery has also run out so when i try to charge it , it shows the led for charging but then the sony logo comes up on its on and stays stuck there. Please help =(
That is a simple soft-brick/bootloop (depending on who you ask, I'd say bootloop).
Charge the phone for a couple of hours and then flash stock firmware with flashtool. To do this you will need to download the stock firmware ftf (these can ALL be found in the general section, don't ask for links) and also flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php). Move the ftf to the firmware folder to where you extracted flashtool to (the C: is the best bet).
Once you have both of those things and your phone has charge in it open flashtool. Then click on the lightning bolt icon and then flashmode. Select the firmware you have downloaded.
UNTICK Wipe cache and data.
Click flash.
Wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode (do this by holding volume down (I think) while the phone is off and you are connecting the USB cable).
Wait for the firmware to finish flashing.
If you get an error saying that loader.sin has finished processing with errors open the ftf with WinRar (or something similar) and delete the loader.sin file and make sure that you save the changes to the ftf.
If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after flashing, remove your battery and then put it back in and try to turn on the device again. If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after that you will have to wipe the cache and data with flashtool.

Flashtool will definitely detect it, don't worry. PC Companion needs the phone to actually be booted to be able to detect it, whereas flashtool only needs the phone to be in either fastboot mode or flash mode to detect it. Both of these modes are initiated by the user when they are plugging in the USB cable and holding the respective volume button and the phone is off.

I know this'll annoy you a bit but the version that i have to flash it with is the stock one? Because i searched on the internet and some are with the 4.3 one and some are 4.2.2 so im a bit confused. Sorry im kind of a noob at this T_T

Any stock firmware to the device will work, so it can be any of the 4.1.2 variants or and of the 4.3 variants (4.2 is for dual SIM). And don't worry about being a noob, all of us were at one point or another.

When you are flashing a firmware be sure to keep the cable firmly connected throughout the entire process (use a different cable if the one you already have is a bit loose) and don't mess with the phone at all. Can you post the whole log you got from flashtool? Either in text form or through a screenshot?
