[SOLVED]Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...

Oh man not again... I've lost my previous phone (TG-01) in the same way. My phone was working just fine until I decided to flash the turbo kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548). By following the directions in the link (http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/how-to-use-fastboot.html), I've done all of the steps mentioned but then the problems started. When I first opened the device after flashing the kernel, all I saw was just a black screen. Approximately two minutes later the battery indicator and clock showed up on the top right of the screen. With some search in Google, I've found the post below:

So I've tried to follow these steps too but looks like I'm failed. Now I can't flash another kernel because the PC doesn't detect my phone after the "waiting for device" prompt in the fastboot. Before trying something again I thought asking for help in the forums is a good idea. So please, please help me. I'm very upset now and I won't get any better without fixing this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you flash the recovery on xperia gamer site?If you did this it is only a recovery not a kernal.You should have flashed a kernal with recovery built in like the turbo kernal which as recovery built in.According to xperiargamer gamer link you need to to connect through flashtool to get into the recovery.I would look in flashtool to try to boot into recovery or flash another kernal with recovery built in then flash a new rom.But obviously flashtool needs to recognise your phone :fingers-crossed:

That's the problem. Before I messed with the settings it had no problems with detecting my device. I guess I screwed up something.
Also just noticed I CAN get incoming calls but I can't answer them. So the phone is actually working, then? What should I do now?

What rom are you on?Can you get in fastboot mode with phone?(holding search while connecting to pc.) is the phone partially working?

When I first flashed the kernel I was on stock 2.3.4, but immediately after the flashing I switched to X Dark ICS. Yes, I can use the fastboot mode, but fastboot does not recognize it while SEUS does. Weird...,
I can enter the boot menu with no problems at all.

Xdark ICS is not compatible with turbo kernel.Only certain roms work they are listed on CosmicDan site.Also when you say you can get into boot menu do you mean via the phone?

Yes, I can enter and browse the boot menu by opening the phone while tapping back and volume up keys. Now trying on a different computer, will post the results.

No use. Damn.
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS.

Confused by what you mean boot menu! Do you mean recovery? Also if this is turbo recovery just install a compatible rom via install zip option,there are links to them on CosmicDans site.Download one place on sdcard and flash with turbo recovery :fingers-crossed:

Re: Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...
Boot menu?? Recovery?? Cant u just flash a stock firmware via flashtool using flashmode?? If the boot menu you were talking about is recovery u should be able to enter fastboot/flashmode. Regarding the un-recognize problem did u try updating the driver?? Does flashtool even detect your phone??
Sorry for the lot of Q. Just want to get a clear view of your situation.

No need to apologize, you are right, I should have mentioned these.
Flashtool? I don't think it's Flashtool. It's something in the fastboot folder with the command prompt thing. Shift+Right Click if I remember it correctly.
Trying the Flashtool now, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the reply.

Guess what?.I've flashed version 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK Generic) with Flashtool. And now my phone is back again! HAHAHAHAHA I'M FRICKING HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS. Ehm... Really, I thank you both. You two have a good day.
By the way, what should I do now? I was thinking about installing some Custom ROMs but I'm too scared to do it after these. Now the phone's running on 2.3.3. Is my rooted/bootloader unlocked status gone?

Congrats. Flashtool is a perfect fail sav. As for root, just use flashtool to root it. BL stays unlock once u've unlocked it. It locks when u decide to lock it. Everythings there man.

Did you actually install a Rom
@OP or did you just flash the turbo kernel? @everyone else If you flash a new kernel would that necessarily delete your ROM or would you still be able to boot to a stock rom?

Error with flash

Hi all, I have a serious problem, I was following a tutorial to install CM on my ZL. The tutorial was for the Z and ZL, when I get to the part of installing the recovery, download the link and not the Z ZL and install and reboot, the phone did not return to light. Anyone know how I could fix the problem. From already thank you very much, I hope you can help me. And forgive me for my poor English.

You need a unlocked bootloader to do custom roms however there are custom roms for locked bootloaders too.

Sorry, but I do not understand what I said apparently what happened is that the Xperia download a recovery and install Z, instead of one of the Xperia ZL. After restarting the phone, the phone did not return to start. Sorry for my English but is very poor.
Anyone know what I should do?

The problem is not that I can not install because of the bootloader, but that installing the recovery that was not the cell does not start, it is not detected by the FlashBot or the PC.

For AOSP roms like CyanogenMod you need an unlocked bootloader.
Locked bootloader works only for stock kernel based roms.
If your phone is already rooted and BL unlocked, download CyanogenMod http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=odin
Extract the boot.img from that .zip-file and flash it via fastboot.
You'll need fastboot drivers installed to work! (--> http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/40599174/file.html)

Hahaha I still make myself understood, installing a boot.img of "Xperia Z", the phone will not start, is not unbootable android, but the phone does not start. I can not even get into Fastboot mode

Maybe you should flash some other recovery. I recommend taking the boot.img from the zip of the latest CyanogenMod nightly for ZL. After that you can flash the rom of your choice.

Okay, I think now I may have accidentally hardbricked my phone. I tried relocking and re-unlocking my bootloader. Everything went ok but now I cant start the phone. When I press the power button it only vibrates once and then thats it. Flashtool detects it in both flashmode and fast boot but I cant flash any recovery. Please don't tell me its the end for my phone.

If you can get your phone in fastboot or flashmode, your phone is not hard bricked. There is still hope.

Something weird happened.I clicked on the BLU button on flashtool and it says my device is still unlocked. After unlocking using flash tool I am now able to flash CWM and TWRP. But both recoveries still would not let me install the roms I mentioned earlier. It still thinks that I'm on another device. Currently downloading CM11 from the CM website. Waiting for my download to finish. But I have a feeling it still wouldn't work. btw, thanks for going through step by step with me. I'm still new to xperia devices. Owned an s plus last time and the whole rom flashing process wasn't really hard like this one.lol
EDIT: UPDATE!!! I have finally found the reason for my problem. I flashed an incorrect version of the boot.img.Because I dump all the stuff related to flashing rom and I dont really remember the location in which I downloaded the boot.img. So what I did was I extracted the whole content of the rom that I downloaded proceed to flash the boot.img using flashtool. from there on, everything works perfectly! thanks for your help. Without ur suggestion, I wouldn't have tought of manually getting the boot.img!

I'd have to unlock my bootloader, which I do not want to do until I can safely back up my DRM keys and so forth. I know unlocking sony phones removes bravia engine and other stuff.

I bought it with this firmware. It's 4.4.2 19.1.A.0.486
So I have no idea.
Plus, the xperia firmware tool says that this is the only firmware for this model(D5316.)

Have you try to google it?

I have tried googling it but no luck.
Only way for me to root is to unlock bootloader it seems.
EDIT; I got root access!!
I unlocked the bootloader via flashtool. I still have bravia engine/camera/etc.

here are the steps I did..I will do my best to provide anything I can.
First thing; unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it via flashtool. i still have bravia engine/clear audio, so that's intact. Put the SUPERSU 2.40 on your SD Card along with the dual recovery flash file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793
After that I used fastboot to install the CWM recovery( fastboot.exe flash recovery boot.img), and rebooted.
I rebooted into CWM and flashed the dual recovery. follow the instructions to boot into TWRP(I like this recovery.)and flash SUPERSU 2.40. Wipe cache/dalvik/system. If you get a bootloop, reboot into recovery and flash the pre rooted stock firmware from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-d5303-4-4-3-pre-rooted-stock-t2962677. then reboot.
another fun fact? I also successfully backed up the TA Partition. woo!

What file did you flash at first? Is it T2U-SS_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-207_v01.img ?
It didn't work for me, I could not reboot into CWM or whatever custom recovery it contains.
Thank you!

Sure.
BEFORE ANYTHING; Put supersu 2.40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 on your SD Card!!
I used flashtool(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)to unlock the bootloader first. I still had my TA Keys so it should be fine.
after unlocking the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode(I think it's while the phone boots up, you hold power+up vol). and use this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685932 to boot into CWM recovery.
Once you're in CWM, Install the dual recovery and reboot phone. Hold down vol when the green LED turns on, you will reboot into TWRP. Touch controls won't work but if you press the power button and press it again, touch works.
Install SuperSU 2.40 and you should be okay..

That kernel works on 4.4.2? in the CWM thread right in the first post it says requirements 4.3. Need more details before I move forward with this.
I am on a US D5316 running 4.4.2 , build 19.1.A.0.486.
