    Please I need an answer, i’m fraking out…

    If your phone won’t boot up (it’s stuck at Sony Ericsson boot screen)
    and you can’t get into recovery either, that means you bricked your
    Xperia.

    You may think that you are screwed, but if your PC can recognise your phone when it’s powered off (don’t try booting it before connecting to PC!) I have an easy solution for you!

    What you need to do is download UpdateService (Find it on Sony’s site), and install it.

    Don’t run it just yet.

    Than, connect your phone to your PC and when Windows checks it, run UpdateService (thing you downloaded)

    Than, UpdateService will do firmware checking and in a minute you should
    be able to see it updating your phone to a newest firmware (.62 right
    now).

    Now, this will take a few minutes, and when it’s done phone will start booting, that also might take up to 5 minutes.

    When it’s done, you have your phone working again!

    its working man keep patience……
    best of luck…………
