Ajith_ — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:21:36 GMT

I was trying to root my Sony Xperia SP. I am interested in learning how all this works, when I reset to see if the boot loader was open. I just turn off bootloader, phone would not boot. Stays on sony screen. I can't turn on it.. Need help in where to go from here.

Please help!

Your only option is to manually flash your phone using a .ftf firmware file and flashtool if your bootloader is unlocked but if that failed then use the below

Performing a system repair using Pc Companion - This will factory reset your phone

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
