[Q] Help! Xperia ion LT28h brick...?

Hi guys,
I was using Flashtool to upgrade a LT28h from ICS to JB stock. But somehow drivers were not correctly installed and I got the following in Flashtool:

Now whenever I connect this device, Windows sounds the "device malfunctioned" sound, and when I unplug it I hear the "device disconnected" sound.
I can't turn on the device.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Z5 Premium stuck on Sony logo and bootloop [FIX AT THE END OF THE THREAD]

This happened after I flashed a custom Rom, Flashtool won't recognize my device (or even enter recovery/flashmode), even though I have the proper drivers as I know this cause I used Flashtool on this device just yesterday
**Please Check The Third Post For Updates**
UPDATE: FIXED MY DEVICE! HOORAH
FOLLOW MY STEPS BELOW ON THE LAST POST.

Not sure if this is the issue, but everytime I connect my phone to the PC to enter fastboot, it *automatically* disconnects. Same w/ Sony PC Companion.

UPDATE: Can someone please help me?
This is what happens now:
1) Phone Connects w/ GREEN light when using USB + Vol Down
2) Phone Disconnects after a few seconds, meaning I can't use Flashtool or anything else.
3) Phone vibrates three times then turns on into Sony Logo, then turns off and goes back to number 1.
I'd gladly donate money if someone can help me

OK so it appears that WATER was in the device causing the USB to not connect everytime I plug it in, this is what I did
1) Left it in a bag of rice for a few hours (thank god I'm Asian, we have this stuff lying around all the time lol)
2) Got a hairdryer and left it to blow on the Z5's USB port for a few minutes
3) OPTIONAL: Phone was hot so I lodged it in the air-conditioning unit.
4) Charged it for a few hours
5) FLASHTOOL FINALLY RECOGNIZES THE DEVICE!

I want to be able to go back to stock. Or if this is not possible atleast be able to use my simcard
Please help me

Hello welcome.
Did you try it more than 1 time? (no I'm not mocking you)
Do you have any other USB-Cables to try out with?
Could you try another USB-Port on the computer?
Did you install the Flashtool drivers for your Device?
Maybe you should try out the newest Build 0.9.23.2

@matthias.smet
Welcome to XDA!
Try again with v0.9.18.6, it is more stable but however you should not use the computer for any other purposes when flashtool is preparing the bundles for flasfing.

Hello there.
Im having the exact same problem and am getting crazy searching for a solution.
What i have done so far:
reinstalled flashtool
downgraded to 0.9.23.0
downgraded to 0.9.18.6
redownloaded the .ftf
downloaded another .ftf
tried different packet sizes
tried every usb cable i could find
yes i also rebooted several times, both phone and laptop
right now the device is unusable as i managed to install Resurrection Remix but it failed the gApps (for which i tried everything to fix too) and wifi/data isnt functional , which makes it more or less a brick. And its not even my phone :crying:
at the time of writing i am again reinstalling 0.9.18.6. Hopes are small but who knows.
any other suggestions? every help is highly appreciated.
greetings, enaecore
EDIT: unexpectedly the reinstall of 0.9.18.6 finally worked for me! device is up and running again. i dont understand this, because 0.9.23.1 worked several times before i messed up with RR but well, im lucky i can hand back the phone in a working state, even if its crap stock its better than a custom brick. going back to my reliable bacon and maku now. praised be the pure android experience^^

Problem on flashing stock firmware using flashtool by androxyde.

My phone sony xperia XA1 was working normally. At some day it powered off itself the device unexpectedly and when I try to power it on it doesn't turn on the device. When I try to charge it the red light glows but doesn't turn on the screen. So I tried to flash stock firmware using flashtool by androxyde. But the flash tool ends flashing after writing TA unit 2774 : 01 and skips rest of the flashing process. The detailed log is given below for your reference. Please help me to fix it. Also the phone is bootloader unlocked device. If you need further details please reply me. Sorry for the bad English.
